Chas. Lees Great London Shows,

Royal circus, European menager;e,
museum of wonders, and free horse
fair will pitch their tents on South
Market Street, in Bloomsburg, We'd
nesday, Oct. ed. Two grand perfor-
mances, afternoon and evening. Ad-
mission only 25c., children, afternoon,
I5c. This is an old time famous and
popular one ring show. A grand
street parade at noon with 2 bands,
100 beautiful horses, gorgeous cages,
chariots, wagons and I25 people. 1t
is worth travelling miles to see.
We clip the following from the Can
ton, Ohio, Daily Times:
Without doubt the best circus per-
Torrance and most novel street pa.
rade we have ever had in this city,
was given by the Great London
Shows. Everything about the show
looked bright and sparkling, and at
the ground the utmost attention was
paid by the circus employees to pre-.
serve order and decorum. There was
a noticeable absence of the usual
penny-fakir and circus hanger on.
The show is exactly what they claim.
The Lambertville, IN. j. Record,
Aug. &c, ga, says:
Chas. Lees circus gave two per-
formances in this city last Wednesday
afternoon and evening, which were
very largely attended, especially in
the evening, when every seat was
taken and large number were COM
PEELED to stand. The performances
were excellent from first to last, every
performer being star in his partlcu-
lar part. 1t was the best circus that
has visited Lambertvile for many
years past
The Cooperstown Journal says:-
Chas. Lees Circus gives a remarkable
bright, artistic and interesting exhibit
tion. They performed here Friday
before audiences that packed the big
tents to the ring back. If all the cir
cuses were as good as Chas Lees it
would soon become the most popular
institution in the country.

Not Correct.

"Persons contemplating marriage
can save the expense and annoyance
of going to the County Seat for a
license, by securing the same from
the nearest Justice Of the Peace. This
is in accordance with the recently
revised marriage laws of Pennsyl-
vania."
The above article is going the
rounds of the newspapers, but it is all
wrong. There was no such Act of
Assembly passed. All there is of it
is as follows: Under the old law it
was necessary to solemnize the mar
riage in the County in which the
license was obtained. Under tine law
as revised, the certificate is good in
any County of the State.

HAVE FAITH IN IT.

There is no better evidence of the
prosperity of Town or a community
than the price for which real estate
situate in it sells. During the past
few weeks about $I5o, 900 worth of
real estate has been sold 10 this Town.
Ready purchasers were found for it
and at prices which were considered,
all things taken into consideration, as
being good. 1t shows conclusively
that the people have faith in the future
Of the Town.

GRAND JURY REPORT.

The Grand Jury completed their
work Wednesday and were discharged
after receiving the thanks of the
Court for their prompt attention to
business. Their report was as follows:
The enlargement of the vault in
the office of the Register and Re-
corder is necessary.
We also recommend metallic cases
for the public records in said vault.
A book case is needed in the Com
missioners office to hold law books
and law pamphlets. One half dozen
beds are needed in Jail, and we find
the sanitary condition there very poor.
Better sewerage is recommended"

AS previously announced the sermon
OF Rev. B. c. Conner last Sunday
morning had reference to the new
church project. He showed conclu-
sively the necessity of one, and the
advisabllity of building it now. The
congregation are all of one mind on
this question and undoubtedly the
building will be pushed to speedy
completion. The plans for the same
were on exhibition In the vestibule.

When talk to n man who has made
fortune by advertising, wonder that
anybody who has anything to sell does
not go and do likewise. One man told
me q day or two ago that his concern,
with nominal capital of 100000,
only $50, 900 of which was paid in, has
divided in single year among three
partners profits to the amount of $780,
900, and that exclusive of salaries of
$50, 900 and $685. drawn by two
members of the firm. Ten or twelve
years ago this man was n drug clerk on
small salary in western town and is
now one Of the millionaires of New
York without advertising / might
have made living" he said, "but it
was advertising that made me rich, and
advertising a very simple commodity at
that /"
Another man, who bears similar tes-
timony, tells me that his concern, which
began by investing $40, 900 year in adj
vertising, increased the amount every
year according to their increase of bust
ness, and this year expects to spend Sl,-
100000 Still another, who confined
himself entirely TO the newspapers and
magazines in the exploitation of his
speciality, never having touched dead
wall, a fence or the broad side of barn
with poster or paintbrush, and never
employing salesman, has n cool mil
lion sailed down in real estate, keeps
his yacht and spends most of the year
abroad in luxurious living.
Many other men of my acquaintance
resting in ease and wealth have told me
stories of their own experience with the
same moral. Some day am going to
print these stories and give the names

As showing the force of maternal love
among the lower animals there are few
more pathetic incidents than the fol-
lowing, which comes from Australia:
During a severe drought the owner of
a country station was sitting one even
ing on the balcony outside his house
when he was surprised to notice kan
CARGO lingering about, alternately ap-
preaching and retiring from the house,
as though half in doubt and fear what
to do At length she approached the
water pals, and taking young one
from her pouch held it to the water to
drink.
While her baby was satisfying its
thirst the mother was quivering all over
with excitement, for she was but few
feet away from the balcony, where one
Of her great foes was sitting, watching
Aer. The little one having finished
drinking, it was replaced in the pouch,
and the old kangaroo started off at a
rapid pace.
When the natural timidity of the
kangaroo is taken into account, it will
be recognized what astonishing bravery
this affectionate mother betrayed. -

/ heard long ago of an enterprising
tradesman who desired 70 have the Old
Testament at least broken into series
of romances. By others. very likely
much less pious men, no version of these
narratives can be tolerated except the
ancient original versions. Yet many
readers or hearers are so familiar with
these. or think themselves so familiar
(thcy would probably break down under
examination), that something more
"spicy" is required by them. ] have
read an American novel about the love
affairs of Judas Iscariot and Mary Mag
dalene. 1t did not interest me, / own,
but it did make me laugh. Probably a
more pious student would have been
edited There is no accounting for
tastes. Perhaps no Biblical novel has
ever won critical applause or been reck-
oned a piece of literature. But such
novels hit large class Of readers whose
tastes in other matters is not always
bad.
1t would be interesting to know what
the wits and critics of the restoration
thought and said about 1.-The Pilgrim s
Progress. - Probably they never looked
into the cheap little book at all, the
book which has outlived Etherege and
Sedley and Rochester and the rest of
them. OF course it does not by any
means follow that every religious novel
read by the people who do read such
things and neglected by critics is on a
level with Bunyan's masterpiece. An

Tho minister held a reconciliation with

TREATMENT OF cARBUNCLEs.
A Celebrated Physician Gives Valuable In
formation.

1.-THE cause of boils. says DR. ID sbouzy,
the medical correspondent of the European
edition of the New York Herald, lis now
held TO be the penetration of the skin by a
Inicrobe known as the staphylococcus
aureus, aud. hence the treatment should
be one which kills these microbes. The
old fashioned linseed poultice does not kill
the staphylococcoi burrowing into and
poisoning the flesh, but it helps them To
multiply and to do their mischievous work.
In mild boils tincture of iodine may be
applied with good effect or compress OF
gauze soaked in "a solution of sublimato
heated to u temperature of 125 degrees.
Often spraying a painful boil with per
cent. solution of carbolic acid works ex-
traordinary cure"
There is one thing, however, which has
never been known to fail to cure any boil
or carbuncle. II is Quratol, the new prep
aration which is sold by all druggists in
this place at 90 cents bottle. This prep
aration not only cures boils, but it gives
almost instant relief in cases of burns,
cuts, sprains. etc.
