NEW YORK, April 25.-The drygoods mar
ket opened with fair prospects for the week,
although there was but little new develop
in cotton goods, but there was more inquiry
and more business in other articles. Dress
goods continued to receive special attention
and there were some good sales in flannels
and blankets, Prices for fiannels are about
settled, showing but slight notifications
from those of last year. Indications were
favorable for a more general trade TOR fall
during the week. Converters show more
interest and are taking good many brown
cottons. The jobbing trade was moderate
The print cloIh market was very firm and
fairly active.

Under the new ballot law the county
commissioners are required to provide
suitable polling places for the general
elections, but as we read the law, this
does not apply to delegate elections.
AS there is no place at the corner of
Fifth and West where the delegate
election can be held, and no arrange
ment has yet been made for the use
of a room at Giger's, the members Of
the Standing Committee must make
some other provision for those dis
trlCtS. Chairman Townsend has sug-
gested that the election for the two
lower districts be held at the court
house, and the other two at the Town
Hall This would be as good an ar
rangement as can be made at present.

MILITARY DISCIPLINE.

tempted assassination of II. c. Frick
called for "three cheers for the man
who shot Frick." Lieutenant Colonel
Streator of the same regiment over
heard the remark, and ordering out
the whole regiment he repeated the
words and asked the man who had
used them to step forward. Iams at
once complied, but refused to apollo
gize. Col. Streator ordered his arms
taken from him, the buttons cut from
his coat, and then strung him up by
the thumbs until he became uncon.
scious. His clothes were then taken
from him and he was gwen some over.

now propose to prosecute all who had
a hand in the treatment received by
him. While his conduct is most
highly Objectionable, both as a soldier
and citizen, it is not certain whether
the military officers acted entirely with

A mad dog was killed in Towanda
one day last week, before it had a
chance to bite anybody, With thous-
and dogs in Bloomsburg it will be sur
prising if one or more of them are not
affected by the extreme heat of the
weather and become rabid, Up to
this time the only precaution taken by
the town authorities is to pass an or
dinance imposing tax on dogs, which
is virtually dead letter. The tax law
should be enforced, and every dog
should be required to be kept muzzled.

character too great of heart and too

misery that he did not try to relieve it; he
never saw Suffering without sharing it: he
never looked upon the pinched cheek of
hunger without giving bread; he never
heard the cry Of despair that he did not

A THIRD of a century ago it was first
demonstrated by a French engineer that
a large portion of tho great desert OF
Sahara could be made fertile by wells.
Since that time thirteen thousand wells
have been sunk and 100000 acres of
land reclaimed. Waving fields of wheat
and luXuriant date trees now cover the
once barren sand heaps, and in a single
year more than 100000 gallons of
wine have been Sent to France. It is
now believed that at the beginning Of
the twentieth century the entire Sahara
desert will have disappeared. Our great
American desert Of the old biographies
has in a large measure been obliterated,
but there are still millions of acres in
Il desert domain to be redeemed.
Time and engineering skill will surely
accomplish the task,

FOREIGN HELP WANTED.

INVESTMENTS in irrigated lands in the
United States are being inquired for IN
foreign money centers. California cap
i~talists, who have been much quicker
than those Of other states to see this
tendency of European investors, are al
ready abroad working for desirable i'm
migration, which finds ready financial
backing in the cities of Europe, where
money is lying idle. A body Of Swiss
and Scotch capitalists will land in New
York this week, en- route to California,
to look over property in which they have
been asked to put large sums of money.
Some OF these men have made large for
tunes in irrigation schemes IN British
India and fully understand the nature
of the enterprises they are asked TO I'M
dertake here.
With a hundred thousand acres
of as fine lands as can be found
on the footstool under irrigation,
it Is a shame the people of Montana
have not aroused to the Importance OF
bringing colonists hither. If our own
capitalists were compelled to furnish all
the money for such undertakings there
might be some excuse for hesitation
about locking it up. But for every dol
lar OF home money used in this work
European capitalists would furnish q
thousand. All that is necessary is tc
place what we have at the inspection OF
Europeans who want to invest Their
