MEMORIAL TO JAMES K. EYER.

The following was adopted by
Bloomsbury Grange No. 3aa, P. of H:
To the officers and members OF
Bloomsburg Grange No. 3a2, P. of H:
Your committee appointed to pre-
pare memorial on the death of
Brother Jas. K. Eyer, respectfully re-
port:
Brother James X. Eyer died June
s2, 1898, at Bloomsburg. He was a
charter member Of Grange No. 3aa,
and since its organization has been
active and earnest in the furtherance
of the interests of the Patrons of Hus-
bandry. He was valuable counsel
lor in all matters pertaining to the
good of the order, and by his death
we have sustained great loss.
To his widow and family this Grange
extends its sincere sympathy in their
loss Of husband and father. The con-
ISOLATION will be found with that God
in whom he trusted and whose ways,
though mysterious, are always for
good to them that love HIM.
The committee recommends that
the next meeting be set apart for
memorial services to the memory of
our deceased brother, and that copy
of this report be furnished the widow
and be forwarded to the Farmers
Friend and the local newspapers for
publication. They also recommend
that the Grange hall be draped in
Grape for 80 days.
Respectfully submitted,
J. B. Robson,

The Forget-Me-Not

From the New York Telegram.
Everybody knows the pretty little
forget-me not and likes the flower
more perhaps because Of its name
than its beauty. How was it so call
ed. The Germans account for it by
quite pathetic romance. 1t seems
that once upon time a knight and
a lady were walking by the banks Of
the Danube when the latter asked her
''gallent gay" to pluck for her a tiny
blue flower which she saw growing in
the stream. No sooner said than
done, but the knight, overbalancing,
fell into the river, and owing to the
slippery nature of the bank and the
weight of his own armor was carried
away by the current. As he threw
the flowers ashore to his lady he cried
out with his last breath, "Vergis mein
NIGHT d" ("Forget me not r) And
ever since the flower has been looked
on as an emblem of fidelity.

AT the request of President H. H.
Ballard of the Agassiz Association OF
the United States, the Bloomsbury
chapter of that association in.orms
visitors to the Worlds Fair in Chicago
of the excellent exhibit which is to be
seen in the Anthropological Building.
1t occupies one thousand, five hundred
and four square feet in the North
west corner up stairs. The reception
rooms are always open and a cordial
invitation is extended to the public to
visit them. Among the many articles
of interest will be found a collection
of mounted flowers from Tanganrog,
Russia, fine specimens of ferns from
New Zealand, choice crystals includ.
ing some huge garnets from Salida,
Colorado, and rare collection OF
Wisconsin pearls three hundred in
number. This is but brief allusion,
as the exhibit includes beautiful speci.
mems too numerous to mention.

prevented by the Sunbury Dam.
1t is estimated that nearly 1000
tons of first class coal were taken
from the river bed in the vicinity of
Northumberland during the past sea
son, and this years production prom
ises to be far in excess of the above
figures. Although retail dealers in
this town and Sunbury charge $3.50
per ton for the fresh mined fuel they
cannot well compete with the river
miners. Taking into consideration
that the latter is not compelled to
face the dangers incident to a treach-
erous top rock, faulty blasts, falls of
coal, or the deadly mine gases, and
enabled to work with the broad can
opy of heaven over him, his lot is a
far more desirable one than that of his
poor brother who tolls in the natural
anthracite beds"

THE SCHOOLS.

On Monday August 2Sth, six weeks
from next Monday, the public schools
OF Bloomsburg will again open. There
is much work yet to be done, to carry
out the provisions of the late act in
reference to furnishing supplies for all
the pupils. The difficulty that con-
fronts the Board of Directors of this
town is one that must be met in every
district in the state. The mere pur-
chasing Of books, states, tablets, ETC.,
is a small consideration, but the diff.
Guilty is reached when rules governing
their use are made. A record must
be kept Of the books purchased by
each Board Of Directors, and the pu-
pills charged with the books and their
safe keeping. There is nothing in the
law to regulate punishment for misuse
of the books, and hence the general
law Of punishment for destruction OF
property must be enforced. Books
should not be gathered up, at the close
of the day, and distributed promiscu.
ously the next day; such a proceeding
would scatter through the whole school
any constitutional disorder that might
be found in an Individual scholar.
Rules ofthe most rigid character should
be adopted in every district and en-
forced; if this is not done, much
mischief will be caused, and instead
of the good the law is intended to ac-
complish, only evil will be the result.

The hard times that all are com.
planning of just now might be in a
great measure avoided if everyone
would pay their small bills promptly,
instead OF boarding every cent they
can get their fingers on. There are
piles Of money in the country, but i,
does no one any good while under
double lock and key. Pay your small
deots.
If everybody would do this, THE
COLUMBIAN would have several thou
sand dollars that is now scattered all
over the county, here, there, and every
where.

The hay crop this year in Columbia
county will be the poorest known for
many years. One mau has mown
field Of twenty acres and only gathered
about six tons. There are many farm
ers who will not gather enough hay to
feed their own stock. However what
is lacking in hay is made up in wheat,
of which there is an abundance-the
largest yield ever known-and cores
pondingly low price, the lowest known
for thirty years.

received after Il. At this time the Secre-
tary went TO the consideration IF his official
duties, and he works right along, | am
told. until after 4. taking a half hour at
O'Clock for luncheon. He is enc of the
hardest workers in public life and one OF
the most rapid workers. He works Sun
days as well as weekdays. but he usually
drops his work after he leaves the office
and spends his evenings with his family.
Since the beginning of the financial
troubles the mail of the Secretary OF the
Treasury has steadily increased. Every
morning there are large number Of letters
from all parts of the country describing
the troubles Of the different sections as to
the money markets, and urging him to d.
som ethlng for their relief. a large part of
the mail is made up of suggestions as to
how the hard times could be bettered, and
of schemes and theories which Mr.. Car
Isle is asked to carry out. Many of the
letters tell him how TO deal with the
gold and silver questions. Some advise
as to the ratio, and others advocate
the establishment Of banks and bank
ing systems. Many of these lettAS
are from bankers of acknOw led ged
reputation, and ] saw some to-day from
Henry Clews of New York, Wharton Bar
ton of Philadelphia, and Others. The ma
jority of the letters. however. were from
cranks, and some OF these were so curious
that was permitted to make extracts from
them upon my promising not to give the
actual names of the signers. If you will
imagine a barrel packed full CT letters,
you will get some idea of the quantity Of
these financial suggestions which have
come into the Secretary. l looked over,
