COUNTY BOARD OF JUSTICES
A Harmonious Meeting-Board OF
Commissioners Elected--County
Observation-Disclosures Levy.

The Board of Justices of
Wayne county met in this city at
noon Mcnds W with DR.. j. T.
Kennedy in the chair.
The meeting was largely at
tended and was the most har-
moneous in the history Of the
county. There was not the
slightest hitch or scrambling in
the deliberations, which passed
off smoothly and with dispatch.
After the roll-call, it was pro-
posed to go at once into an cleo
ton of a Board of County Com
missioners for the ensuing two
years, and on the very first bal
lot the following gentlemen hav-
ing received a majority Of all the
votes cast were declared duly
elected Commissioners for two
years, beginning the first Monday
of next December, when the term
of Office of the present Board ex-
pires: Messrs. J. E. Peterson,
(retained,) M. T. Johnson, ire
tained,) J. III. Loftin, (retained,)
j. M. Wood, NEW member,) and
VIM. Holmes, new member).
This is q Democratic Board en-
tire, as it should be. It is suffi-
cient encomium Of Messrs. Peter
son, Johnson and Loftin that
they have been retained in the
public service by a handsome vote.
MesSrS. Wood and Holmes, the
new members, are Ito the man
ner born" and will sustain the
high trust with credit to them
selves and satisfaction to the
public. Genial Jim Wood takes
as much interest in the welfare
of the county and her people
as any man in her border, and
few men, if any, are more de-
servedly popular, and as to Will
Holmes, he is a general favorite
| with all who know him.
The next in order was the cleo
ton of a County Superinten-
dent of Public instruction, and
without a dissenting voice the
present efficient incumbent, Mr..
E. T. Atkinson, was unanimously
reelected.
The rate Of taxation was fixed
the same as for the last two
years, viz: 20 cents on 500, and
the same poll tax as last year.
The Board of Assessors met
and made the following

Vast and populous as China Is, the
experience of the present century
shows that she is weak for aggressive
purposes. She has not the hold on
territory adjacent to her borders which
she could claim a hundred years ago.
European nations are pressing on her,
both on the south and on the north.
She has been forced to cede n portion
of her territory to England, and she
has been compelled to avail herself Of
the help of Englishmen, both for civil
administration and for military COM
mand.
All these things show that an ex-
pansion of the Chinese race does not
necessarily involve an extension Of
Chinese dominion. On the contrary,
they tend to prove that it Is the order
introduced by European adminisra-
ton which leads to the multiplication
of these Industrious people; and there
Is, therefore, at least as much ground
for saying that, though Borneo, Su-
matra and New Guinea, and the great
islands Of the Eastern Archipelago,
may be ultimately peopled by yellow
races, they will be governed by the
white races, as for believing that n
new Chinese Empire is in process of
formation; Chinese India may, in
other words, be developed in these
great and fertile islands.-The Edin-
burgh Review.

Washing the Smoke.

They have just been trying In Birm.
ingham, England, an exceeding smoky,
but not foggy city, an invention for
washing the smoke and making 1t clean
before it Is turned loose in the air.
The idea Is not n new one, but in this
application of 1t there are some novel
features. AS the smoke proceeds from
the furnace to the chimney shaft 1t Is
drawn away near the point Of connec-
tion with the stack by means of a pow
erful fan revolving at great speed.
1t Is then forced through a cylinder
making 2SO revolutions minute into
tank filed with water. The water
Is agltated by perforated beaters, and
this process has the effect of washing
the smoke, which Is then allowed to
escape perfectly purified into the at
mosphere direct, or Is conducted back
to the chimney. The carbon is pre-
cipitated to the bottom of the tank, and
is brought out in a thick; bubbling
black froth, forming a deposit, the
worth of which is put at about $50 a
ton, along with other by-products Of
an extremely valuable character. This
device may be applied to factory fur
naces, locomo tives, steamboat engines,
and in fact, to all large furnaces. A
company has been formed to work it,
and there is loud call for its trial In
London.-Buffalo Commercial.

ernor's reception, together with the at
tendant visits of Vice-President Stew
enson and Senator Hill, filed up the
cup Of local gossip and curiosity to the
brim.
Perhaps the meeting Of the State Bar
Association attracted the most atten-
ton. The meeting was characterized
by scarcely concealed sentiment Of
rivalry to the New York City Bar AS
ISOLATION, which has taken such vigor-
Gus action In our recent political his
tory. Nothing, OF course, Of a political
character appeared in the addresses or
proceedings of the Association. Yet
the knowledge of the recent rejection
of William b. Hornblower as a candi-
date for United States Supreme Court
Justice, owing to the opposition Of
Senator Hill, and the presence Of the
New York Senator, accompanied by
Vice-Presldent Stevenson as the chief
cynosure of the occasion, were mat
ters that did not escape the attention
Of the hundreds Of experienced poll
ticians that invaded the town. Sem
ator Dolph, of Oregon, who delivered
the principal address to the lawyers,
was fairly overshadowed by the pecu-
liar polis.cal atmosphere Of the Occa-
sion.
Two thousand invitations had been
issued for the Governors reception,
and more than half the number were
present. They included the most prom
inent politicians in the State, although
the representation of Republicans and
Mugwumps was rather overshadowed
by the preponderance Of machine
Democrats. 1t was very evident that
four men were the chief figures Of the
occasion, and these men were the Vice
President, Governor Flower, Senator
Hill and ex-Judge Maynard. All Of
these gentlemen were the recipients of
ovations. The Republican members of
the Legislature and State officers all
accepted the Governors hospitality.
The newly elected Judge of the Court
of Appeals, Edward T. Bartlett, was
present, and smilingly witnessed the
Democratic tribute to his defeated
rival. Mr.. Maynard appeared in fine

Virtues OF an Fmetic.

There YVES a great deal of wisdom
in the old practice OF giving emetics,
such as ipecac. 1t did a great deal OF
good. 1t might not be very pleasant,

land, and the swell of the waves.
There's nothing like an unloading, and
you would soon feel very much bet
ter. In all these Ills you get your
stomach overloaded, your digestion
fails, and you retain your food In your
system. After good emetic or an
ocean trip has done its work you will
wonder how you got along with such
a vinegar factory inside of you.-Inter-
view with a Doctor.

STUCK IN THE MUD.
A FISH STORY THAT EDITOR RANDALL
DOESN'T TELL.

Editor Randall of the CdtaUissa
Neoos Item. is fond of trout fishing
and of relating fish stories connected
Herewith, but here is one which, singu-
larly enough, he has thus far failed to
tell. Last spring Editor Randall with
a few congenial spirits, devotees to
Isaac Walton's art, went over to the
Lehigh river to camp and murder
little trout and eat them. One day
the editor with a companion left the
river and followed small stream into
the mountains until they came upon
an abandoned saw-mill and dam The
fiat lands that had been covered by
the waters of the dam were left marshy
and wet in places when the waters
had receded, forming muddy trenches
covered with small grass. The edi-
tors companion was ahead and finally
stepped into one of these bitches and
sunk into the mud above his knees
unperceived by the editor. Here was
chance to work the editor into the
same predicament. The companion
moved along the ditch, on the oppo
site side from the editor, nearer to the
channel of the creek, where the ditch
would naturally be deeper and wider,
and began calling to the editor to hur
ry along back to the river as the fish
ing was poor in the creek. The edi-
toI, nothing loath, fastened to reel in
his line, and walk, quite naturally, to.
ward his companion. as said compan.
ion knew he would, until he came to
the ditch and then into it he stepped
and sank, floundered and sank some
more until in his frantic efforts to get
out, he got in up to his middle and
stuck. The companion relates that
such language as that editor used
while in that ditch would not look
we'll in print, much less would it be
acceptable in a drawing room. But
with all the bad language he was in
the mud fast and sure The compan-
ion was obliged to pull the editor out,
but had the companion been at once
transported to where the editor in his
mad rawlings consigned him, he would
not have been there to assist. The
editor has not yet done with berating
the man who led him into the mud, but
he never told that fish story Wilkes

Another strip Of Indian lands, the
northern part of the Colville reserva-
ton, in Washington, will probably be
thrown open to settlement next fall
Government surveyors completed their
survey of the strip about a week ago.
The reservation is bounded on the
north by the British Columbia boun-
Diary line, on the west by the Okla
hogan River, and on the south and
east by the Columbia River The por-
ton to be thrown open for settlement
extends the whole width Of the reser-
walton and from the British Columbia
boundary to about thirty-six miles
south. 1t has an approximate area of
$500 square miles. There are few
Indians on the strip, who will receive
each 100 acres before the land Is
thrown open to the whites.

political overthrow. He has opened Il
law office here, and returned to the
practice of his profession.
The opinion of politicians is uniform
that the events of the week indicate
the denomination of Governor Flower
by the Democrats The Governor Is
evidently resolved TO test his popular
ity, and that he Is popular with the
State Democrats Is beyond question.
1t would be utterly futile to attempt
to defeat his denomination by his party
If he desires to run again.
The legislative pot has only fairly
begun to boil and two of the interest
ing political subjects up are the Buff
falo charter bill and the New York
Police Commission bill. Both of these
bills are the subject of some very
shrewd wire-pulling.
There is general regret expressed
here over the death Of eX-Speaker
George u, Erwin. Both branches of
the Legislature, of which he had been
popular member, adjourned out of
respect for his memory. The ex-
Speaker was thoroughly manly man,
anu he was as much liked by Demo
Gratis as Republicans. He was strong

A Democratic caucus was held in
Town Hall Wednesday evening to
nominate candidates for officers for
the Town Of Bloomsburg. The meet
ing was called to order at half past
seven o'clock by James II. Mercer,
who asked for some one to be named
as chairman Of the meeting. ]. c.
Rutter was made chairman and w. B.
Allen secretary. The chairman stated
that the first business was that of nom
nations for President of Council. A
motion was made that no nomination
be made, another motion made that
VIM. Chrisman Esq. be named. After
some discussions as to nominating a
candidate-the chair put the motion
and being unable to divide, determined
to divide the house, and put the mo
tion that all in favor of no nomination
shall pass to the north side of the hall,
when after being counted-all opposed
to the motion passed to one side-a
count showed the motion lost; and
nominations were called. The names
OF VIM. Chrisman and DR.. r. G. Hart
er were placed in nomination-a vote
was taken by having them again pass
to one side of the hall and a count
made-the result was the nomination
of VIM, Chrisman Esq. Nominations
were made for members of the Town
Council, tellers appointed and vote
taken by ballot with the following

Senator Herring's mail is prodig-

how many people there are who want
positions. He will take charge of
the Office on Saturday, and it is still
undecided whether it will be located
in Bloomsburg, Williamsport or Will

Bloomsbury, and unless too much
pressure is brought to bear, no doubt
it will come here.
