Armour and His Institute Threatened.


CHICAGO, Dec. 2i.-Armour Institute,
the grand gift of the wealthy porkpacker
whose name ii bears. has been threatened
with destruction by a dynamite crank.
and il is said the same crank has threat
ened the lives of Z. ID. Armour and Rev.
Frank Gunsaulaus, president of the insti-
tute and pastor of Plymouth church.
Neither Armour nor Gunsaulus will say
word concerning the danger to their own
lives, but Rev. Gunsaulus has declared
that man once connected with the insti-
eute has threatened its destruction with
dynamite. When the threat was
made Rev. Gunsaulus succeeded in
dissuading the wouid-be destroyer, who
promised not TO execute the threat. He
said that, counting on the warm friend.

crank demanded that GunsauIus furnish

the 12-year old daughter of Dr. Gunsaulus,
stated two days ago: "a man with a
pistol has been following my papa around,
and one day man wearing a
light overcoat came to the house and
papa was afraid to have him around"
This was the extent of Beatrices
information except the remark: my
father told me that much about it," To-
night Gunsaulus refused to say anything
about his personal danger, but said: at

Farmers Institutes.

The State Board Of Agriculture has
changed the method of dividing the
appropriations for expenses Of holding
farmers Institutes among the counties
by adopting as basis the number of
farms in each county, as determined
by the census. Each county will be
given a minimum appropriation of
SIS, and in addition to this will re-
ceive an additional amount proper.
toned to the number of farms. The
average amount appropriated to single
counties will be about $I5o; but, in
accordance with the new plan, the
actual amount will vary from SIS to
$500, according to the number of
farms in each county. This plan, it is
thought, will be more satisfactory gen.
orally than the old one, which gave
$Ioo to majority of counties and
$3.50 each to few Of the larger ones.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

1t is evident that the patrons see
the marked improvement in the
Bloomsburg public Schools. The
fall term has opened with the great
est attendance known-several rooms
in the High School building being SO
crowded that the Board of Directors
Will be compelled to furnish desks for
another room and secure an addition
al teacher Two causes NAV pro
duce this over crowded condition.
FIRST, the systematic work that is
being done in our public schools,
give inspiration to the patrons and
again the free text books and sup
plies Will no doubt add much to the
attendance. Second, it is an evidence
OF the rapid growth of the town; for,
while several rooms are crowded in
the High School, every room in the
Filth street building has the maximum
number, and yet when the building
was remodelled year ago, the Direc-
tors judged that the additional room
would be ample provision for four or
five years. 1t is quite evident now
that steps must be taken ere another
school year begins, to enlarge the
Third street building. The army of
children in attendance, numbering al
most one thousand, must be given
every advantage the district can af-
ford, because good schools mean
good citizens. No child in the town
should be allowed to remain away.
Any one knowing of children EN-.
ployed in any of the factories con
trary to the Act of the Legislature,
will be doing good work for the
community by giving information to
any member of the Board who will
gladly take the case in hand. The
public schools OF Bloomsburg are on
the onward march, and the time will
soon come, when ample provision is
made, and every child at least be-
tween the ages of and IA will be
in attendance

AFTER MANY YEARS.
TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS SENT TO THE
POOR PEOPLE AT MILTON.

Forty.one years ago in the summer
OF 1852, Isaac Diett and his wife came
to Milton. They were penniless and
Mr.. Diett was i'll with the ague. Being
Germans they were taken care of at
the homes of several Milton Germans,
and also received about fifty or seven
ty FIVE dollars from the Borough Over
seer of the Poor. When he recovered
he and his wife continued their way
westward and in short time were
forgotten by the majority of the Mil
tonians. They located at the city Of
St. Paul, in Minnesota, and by the
dint of many years of labor managed
to lay by a handsome competency.
During all this time they had not for
gotten the Borough of Milton and its
citizens. Thirteen years ago when the
cruel flames swept the town they read
Of the terrible calamity, but at that
time were still struggling to get on
themselves and could not aid in SWELL
ing the fund to relieve the fire suffer
ers. Several years ago Mr.. Diett died
and by frugality and perseverance his
wife managed to add to the snug sum
laid by for her old age. Not many
days ago she wrote letter in German
to County Commissioner John Roney,
telling him of the occurrence and
two hundred dollars to be given to the
poor and sick of Milton. She did not
know Mr.. Roney's address and took
the letter and money to Rev. ]. Tro-
bee, rector of St. Agnes Catholic
church of St. Paul. She is member
of his church and asked him to see
that the money and letter was sent.
He did not know the commissioners
address, but sent the letter written by
Mrs. Diett, letter written by himself,
containing translation of Mrs. Diett,
and draft for the two hundred dol
lars drawn to the order of John Roney
to Father Maher. He delivered it
personally to the Commissioner. who
has the draft yet. He intends giving
the money to the Overseer of the Poor
at Milton for distribution among the
needy. In her letter Mrs. Diett says
that she will visit Milton in a few
years. Such gratitude as hers is rare
in these days and shows that she is a
woman of true Christian character
and who believes IN the Golden Rule
"to do unto others as ye would have
others do unto you. .'-lS~nbu,y Dem
