CALLAHAN MATERIALIZES.
He Had His Dates Mixed and Appears Be-
fore Judge Ferry To-day.


There was a very much surprised po-
lice court this morning when Pete Gala
han bobbed up serenely before it and ex-
planned that he had got his dates mixed
regarding his trial, and was not present
Yesterday because he thought it was to-
day.
The court explained that it had caused
the 5000 bond to be forfeited. but that as
Callahan had evidently acted III good
faith in the matter by coming around at
all, it would declare the bond RENTED
Callahan was sorry, he said, and the
court was, too, though the two sorrows
were probably in an adverse ratio, and A
P. Benson signed Callahan's new bond
for 5000 and the case was reset for Sat
urday morning.

was very drunk when he was brought in
and probably did not know whether it
was meat or not. It was a strange time
of night to be taking orders. anyway.
and the court will let Mr.. Ortlook tell
about it tomorrow with the rest

Il ONE Personals Wanted.

We shall esteem it favor if those
who are entertaining friends or rela-
tives from abroad, or who contemplate
themselves going abroad, will tell us
of it by postal or otherwise. We
would be pleased to mention a kind
word for the sick or at least speak Of
their condition if sympathetic friends
would tell us of it, by postal or other
wise. Our columns are open for
home news.
The postal is always preferable and
for many reasons. The first is that
the data given in conversation cannot
always be remembered, and the spell
ing of names of strangers can only be
guessed at, as there is no undertaking
rule for spelling proper names. A
casual remark to an editor or reporter,
unless jotted down at once, is apt to
escape him. We respectfully solicit
home personals.

Irregular Returns from Oentralia.

A case of complicated election re-
turns from Centralia was brought to
the county seat for settlement this
week. In electing a Poor Director,
as we are informed, the tally sheet
showed one man to be elected, while
the certificate of election was issued
to his opponent by the board of cleo
ton. Barney Doyle was here, and so
was the opposition interested in the
case. An altercatlon ensued in the
bar-room of the Exchange Hotel be.
tween the opposing parties, during
which revolver was presented in the
face of Barney but having seen the
like before Doyle reached around
somehow and floored his opponent
before he pulled the trigger on him.
We are told that Barney claims the
certificate is all right and that the
tally.sh was tampered with while
the claim, on the other hand, is that
the certificate is a mistake, and tina,
the tally.list is right. The court will
no doubt determine the matter.

Bitten by a Mad Dog.

A highly respected farmer, named
Theodore Swank, who lives near
Union Corners, Northumberland
County, was recently bitten by mad
dog while he was on the wood pile
with an axe in his hand. Being a
merciful man, and having no idea
that the dog was mad, he undertook
to change the animals direction by
waving his gloved hand towards him
as he was about to pass when the dog
caught it biting through the glove into
his thumb and making it bleed quite
freely. The dog then turned and
ran. He was afterward seen to bite a
COW, and was found dead the next day
about a mile and half from Mr..
Swank's house. Though the neighbors
insisted the dog was mad Mr.. Swank
was at first not inclined to think So,
but the preponderance of evidence
was against his theory. He finally
consented to accept the liberal dona-
ton of $2a5 which was kindly raised
by neighbors and friends in order that
he might go to the Pasteur Institute,
in New York, for treatment in case it
become necessary. No symptoms of
hydrophobia have as yet been felt by
Mr.. Swank, and though the dog was
no doubt mad some hope of his escape
is entertained by the fact that his
heavy buckskin glove may have
absorbed the poisonous viru which
would otherwise have entered his
flesh. The case will be watched with
interest by all, but more particularly
by the wife and immediate relatives
of Mr.. Swank.

VOL 30
A SUGGESTED TRAMP PROVISION
IN BLOOMSBURY.

All tramps should have place pro
vided for them down near the grist
mill. A warm shelter to be provided
and comfortable cots or hammocks to
sleep in. A good sized hand-mill
fastened to the wall and corn meal or
whole wheat grain supplied to them
at the towns expense and if they
wanted food give each one a pint Of
wheat for meal and let the tramp
grind it in the mill so he would have
crushed wheat then let him have salt
and water to boil in it, and sauce
pan or pot, and spoon to stir it, and
eat with. Then let all the families in
town be supplied with tickets of ad-
mission to this place for the tramp,
and to every tramp that comes along
let them give them ticket, and if the
tramps would be too lazy to grind the
wheat and smoke his own mush let
him 60 on further until he got suffi.
ciently hungry to do so. All good,
honest men who are out of work and
are hungry will only be too glad to get
even the privilege of helping them
selves, and will feel grateful for even
that much. Its only the bona hde
sponger that will kick and call it hard
treatment. We mean those who go
around sponging, and when the kind
hearted ladies of Bloomsbury have
even fixed up lunches hit for king,
made up Of bread and butter and
roast turkey, jelly cakes and pie, and
give them to these fellows to take
along they have, after going out, left
them on the fence or gate - too lazy to
carry it along. Such people are not
bettered or helped, but only made
worse, like spoiled children, by indul-
gence and instead of being lifted up
and made better, they are made lower
and great deal worse by such indul-
gence. All honest, hungry men de.
serve something to eat, and should get
it, and they are glad to receive it, but
it should be given in such way as
will give them an idea of how cheap
they can live at home and do not
need to go tramping away from home

Railroad Urossing-Look Out for Oars.

Favorable report is now made Of
the prospects of recovery of Edward
Hummell, Lawyer Potter and Miss
Burns, whom it will be remembered
were recently caught by an engine
while out sleigh,riding and about to
cross the track near Selins Grove.
They are all slowly improving. Mr..
Hummell left his bed for the first
time since the accident on the 2Ist
Of February.
c. F. Teats, milkman of Paxinos,
met with similar accident on the
morning of Washington's birthday in
attempting to cross street in
Shamokin just as a train was passing
All signals failed to arrest his atten-
ton in time. His horses got over,
but the engine struck his milk wagon
in such way as to make it impossible
for him to serve customers that day.
Mr.. Teats was thrown on the track in
front Of the engine, and the horrifed
witnesses for the moment turned their
faces away from the scene but in
some miraculous way the man man
aged to roll off the track before the
wheels crushed him. Being inter
viewed after the accident, Mr.. Teats
said: 81 did not hear the train
coming nor did l see the signal until
l was just going on the track and it
was too late. How escaped death
] don't know. All 1 remember is that
l saw the engine in front of me and
by some unknown power, was able to
roll off the track just as the engine
passed me-"
Under the thrilling circumstances
it is indeed miraculous that Mr.. Teats
is still preserved to sell his milk and
to remember that where the railroad
crosses it is best to look out for the
cars before you get on the track.

WAsHINGTON's BIRTHDAY.

The Public Schools of our town OBJ.
served the r63d anniversary of Wash
ington's birth in a most profita BILE and
Impressive way. There was but one
session from $50 A. M. to1P, M.
and the other half of this time was
given to singing, reading, recitation,
and other exercises commemorative
of our renowned and immortal Wash
ington.
In former years, the schools were
closed on this holiday, and it is safe
to say that large majority of the
pupils passed through it without even
a thought of him for whose honor it
was instituted, Thus the very object
for which the schools were closed was
not attained. In view of this fact,
and in accordance with the decision
OF State Superintendent Shaffer, our
progressive School Board, ever atten.
tive to the interests of our Public
Schools, directed that Washington's
Birthday should be properly observed
IN each school room. This move will
be especially popular with all patrons
that desire their children to see, to be
impressed with, and to develop those
qualities of character that are so ad
mirably exhibited in the life of the
" Father of our Country" The best
place and time for pupils to learn of
Washington's military ability, his politi-
cal wisdom, unselfish devotion to duty,
courage, sublime hopefuiness under
defeat, strong will, marvellous insight
into character, abiding faith in God,
absolute integrity, and his purity OF
motive, is in the school room on the
very anniversary Of his birth. If the
observance of this holiday by appro.
pirate exercises in the Public Schools
is a good thing, we believe that il
would be equally as good to keep al
except the sacred holidays in the same
way.
