The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1893-07-21

We copied last week an item front
the Shickshinny Echo which Stated
that Cummings q Verdy had sold
their branch store at that place. We
are informed that the store did no,
belong to the firm, but was the indi
vidual property of w. B. Cummings.
Some of our readers, by overlookinA
the fact that the notice was copied
from Shickshinny paper, got the i'm.
preston that Cummings & Verdy had
sold their Bloomsbury store, which is
incorrect. They have no intention OF
doing anything of the kind

Jacob Beers was taken to the Dan
vile hospital Tuesday. For short
time he has been confined in
the County Jail, while the necessary
papers were prepared for his removal.
The crowded condition of the hospi-
tai, prevented earlier removal; the
authorities of the hospital said that the
only thing that could be done would
be the release of some one Of the pa
tients confined there from this county.
Hiram Albertson who has been there
about eight years was judged suffic-
iently improved to admit of release,
and accordingly after the preparation
Of the necessary papers he was brought
home, and thus place provided for
Beers. While Beers was confined in
the County jail he had vague ideas,
he thought he was in great manufac-
turing business, and very wealthy.
On Monday he tore up his iron bed
stead, and then proceeded to tear out
the pipes of the water closet he
said he was making bicycles and need
ed the iron, The Sheriff ordered the
Warden to remove him to the Jail
yard while the repairs are being made.
In the yard he began to tear up the
flag stones and broke the iron gratings
on the windows. When taken to the
cell again he began tearing up the
stone flooring. The sheriff was ac
companied by Commissioner Sands
and J, S. Williams in removing him.
Beers was told they were going to
take him along to bail out friend at
the hospital. When they arrived
there Beers wanted to buy the whole
institution and was ready to write a
check for the price of it.

Have you seen the cometp Bor-
danes comet-so named after the
Salt Lake man who first spied it. If
not you should make it point to get
peep at this celestial stranger, es-
decially as it is full Of mystery, since
nobody can identify it or knows any
thing about it. For several nights it
has been away down low in the north
east behind the Big Dipper, but it is
going west and south, and therefore
apparently rising higher, and is now
above the Dipper. 1t is visible to the
naked eye and more brilliant than the
stars around it.

Hay is selling in Europe at $50
ton. Last years crop was a failure
and the indications are that this will
also be one in which event, America
will be called upon to supply the de-
mand. Hay baled from last years
crop is now being sold in New York
city at $50 ton and shipped over
the water. The short crop in this
country this season will make hay ex-
ceedingly high, as the reports reach us
that in many parts of Europe there
is no hay and all of last years is ex-
hausted.

school teachers is now paid to some
of our primary teachers.


of our primary teachers.
1t is hoped that still closer attention
throughout the county will be given to
the selection of teachers for the small
children.
1t is thought timely and proper to
repeat the statement made in our last
report that the small children in the
rural schools should receive more at.
tention and better instruction.
The directors are to be commend
cd for the careful attention given to
school matters and for the successful
management of the schools of their
respective districts.
The people of Millville Borough
elected two women as members of
their School Board-Mrs. Frank Hell
Ter and Mrs. f. B. Hogue. Both
these ladies are experienced teachers
and take great interest in schools.
1t would doubtless be a bereft to
the schools Of every district if the
Boards would more generally avail
themselves of the provisions of the
school law in reference 70 the Pennsyl-
vania School Journal. 1t is generally
conceded that the directors great duty
is the selection Of teachers. For many
reasons 1t is evident that il directors
would more freely consult principal
in the selection of teachers for graded
schools, or the superintendent in the
selection of those for ungraded schools,
and sometimes in both cases, that
there would be fewer failures on the
part of teachers in the school room.
Eight successful local institutes were
held. AS brief accounts of each were
given in the monthly reports nothing
further need now be said.
The county institute was a success.
The address Of welcome was delivered
by Rev. p. A. Hellman of the Luther.
an church of Bloomsburg.
Excellent instruction was given by
State Supt. Waller, Dept. J. Q. Stew
art, DR.. E. E. White, Supt. J. NJ.
Coughlin, Miss Ella L. Richardson,
Mrs. Welsh, Profs. Noetling, Welsh
and c. c. Case, and Rev. l. NJ. Pat
terson of the Ist Presbyterian Church
of Bloomsburg. Good work was done
by some of the teachers of the county.
An excellent essay read by Mrs. Cora
Holmes Of Montour district deserves
special mention.
Evening entertainments were: Lee
lures by Rev. Theo. F. Clark, DR.. S.
p. Henson, Rev. Russell H. Conwell,
and concert by the Schubert Male
Quartette of Chicago.
The Berwick schools, under the
judicious supervision of Prin. f. X.

al aid Of the directors sent carefully
prepared work to the Worlds Fair.

No Fees For Deputy Ooroners.

An important decision has been
rendered by Cyrus l.. Pershing,
President Judge of Schuylkill coun-

fees to Deputy Coroners and
holding that the Salary Board must

The Presbyterian Sunday School
which had their picnic at Central
Thursday, returned to the good old by
gone days and spread one common
table for all! They argued that Sun
day School picnics were intended for
the younger people and the only way
to make it success would be to make
ample provisions for all of them by
having great variety of eatables fur
nished from one table through the
generous hands of all the older people
Of the Sunday School.

Hov a Dying Man Feels.

Numerous experiments made in hos
pitfalls and upon heroic scientists who
have permitted tests to be made upon
themselves right down 20 the moment Of
death warrant these conclusions: That
a dying man may be burned with red
hot irons and yet not feel the least pain.
That consciousness may remain in the
dying almost to the moment OF actual
dissolution, but that most people gener-
ally lose the p)wer Of thought long before
death. That in cases Of death where
there seems to be extreme suffering, with
writings and spAsms. such phenomena
is generally due to reflex muscular action.
Also, that fear weakens the muscular
system and hastens death, while the
veverse may prolons life.-St, Louis

GLADSTONE AND MIDLOTHIAN.
The Premier Will Stick to His Old District
In the Next Elections.

LONDON, July 13.--Rumors have been
current that Mr.. Gladstone did not intend
to again stand for election in the Midlo.
THAN district and that at the next general
election he would stand for Welsh dis
trict. Mr.. Gladstone has written a letter
which is made public today settling all
doubt ss to his intentions. He says that
he will again stand for election in Midlo-
THAN, AZ he believes that the constituency
will continue to support him. He adds
that he has no intention of seeking election
in Welsh constituency.
These rumors undoubtedly had their
origin in the fact that at the general cleo
tion last year Mr.. Gladstones majority in
Midlothian was greatlS cut down by Colo
nel A. q. Wauchope, who stood in the
Conservative interest. A comparison of
the figures of the last three general elec-
tions is interesting
In 1888 Mr.. Gladstone received n major
ity OF 1851 votes. In the following year,
when the Gladstone ministry resigned be-
cause of the rejection of the home rule
dill, the Conservatives had no hope what
ever of winning the seat, and Mr.. Glad
stone was returned without opposition.
Last year, with Colonel Wahchope as
their candidate, the Conservatives made n
strong fight in the district and succeeded
in pulling Mr.. Gladstone's majority down

The Choctaw Troubles.

WASHINGTON, July 1s.-The report from
Caddo, I. t., TO the effect that Governor
Jones had stated that the Choctaws under
sentence of death for murder would surely
be shot is discredited at the interior de-
partment. General Armstrong the acting
commissioner of Indian affairs, said that
he did not believe that Governor Jones had
made the statement ascribed to him, and
further that he did not believe the gov
ernor intended ever 20 shoot those under
sentence, except possibly one or two of the
more desperate ringleaders.
Secretary Hoke Smith, who is now max
ing tour of the west, could not be
reached, but IL Is believed that he has no
fear whatever that Governor Jones will so
far disregard the wishes of the president
and himself as to execute the sentence
passed upon the nine Choctaws.
From an unofficial source IL Is intimated
that in case Governor Jones insists upon
the Judgment of the Choctaw court being
carried out the government might with
draw the protection OF the troops, when
the Locke adherents would make short
work of releasing the prisoners. However,
no trouble Is anticipated, as IL is not
thought that the governor will deem it ex-
pedient to ignore the expressed wishes of
the president in this matter.
10. Is very pointedly said that IL Is only
the presence of United States troops at
Antlers that keeps Governor Jones In his
seat and that he is in no condition TO make
threats against the United States, for the
rival faction would probably clean him out
in short order IL the protection Of the
United states were withdrawn.
