THE TOWN ELECTION.

Never before in the history of
Bloomsburg has it been more i'm
portant to have a council composed
of level headed business men, than
now. We are confronted with a con-
dltion Of things that requires cool,
calm judgment. The bonded indebt-
edness is about up to the limit allow.
ed by law. There are orders out
standing to the amount Of SIS, 1000, and
if the Rngrose verdict is finally sus.
tanned by the courts, it will be $4,000
more, besides the interest and costs,
and this with unpaid street damages,
will run the floating Indebtedness up
to twelve or fifteen thousand dollars.
This debt must be provided for in
some way. How shall it be done ?
AS stated above, bonds for that
amount cannot be issued, because it
would carry the bonded Indebtedness
beyond the constitutional lirit. By
vote of the people the bonded debt
may be increased to certain extent,
or the council can increase the tax
rate for few years until this floating
debt is paid off, or special tax can
be ordered by the court. In one of
these three ways the situation must
be met, and the next council must
decide which it shall be. Unless
something be done, litigation and
costs are almost sure to follow. 1t is
therefore important that men com.
petent to grapple with this condition
Of things, be selected as councilmen.
The question cannot be lodged it
must be met and disposed Of in some
manner. Every taxpayer is interest
ed, and the meetings for nominating
town officers should be attended by
everybody. 1t will not do to permit
a few to get together and nominate
whomsoever they choose regardless of
fitness. Grumbling at the result after
the election will be of no avail. The
time for work is now, and at the
caucuSeS.

TIE FRIDAY EVENING CONCERT.

Notwithstanding the courthouse
entertainment on the evening sci
apart for the Luella Wagner or home.
talent concert, in the Opera House,
the attendance was near fair average
and the renditions of those who parti-
cipated met with applause. While
Miss Wagner may have done herself
an injustice in attempting to sing
while laborng under severe cold,
yet, notwithstanding that fact, her
effort was sufficient to display her
mastery Of the finer points in vocal
music. However, she was obliged to
retire from the stage after the first
effort. After a march rendered in
artistic style by the Elwel! orchestra,
the Slumber Song of Miss Miller,
(who was most ably assisted by her
brother, with the flute, and Miss
Runyon, with the piano) was parti-
cularly sweet to the ear in many of its
passages. To the taste Of the writer
this was the superlatively musical
piece Of the entertainment. We may
be partial to the sweet blending of
the flute and human voice, but to our
taste there can be no sweeter music
than just the flute and good and
well trained human voice. Here all
the sweeter ecstacies of music can be
found and produced in their sweetest
expression.
In the violin solo rendered by Prof.
G. P. Elwell we noticed his artistic
bowing quite as much as his music.
His bowing is such as is acquired by
those only who aspire to do more
than ordinary fddling. Mr.. Elwell
can render as we'll as teach music. In
the next pumber Miss Breakstone
captivated the audience. In her in
imitable mimicry and impersonation
of various characters she is not proper
ly in the amateur category but will
stand criticism among star performers.
She is, further more,a self-made gradu-
ate Of the Emmerson College of
OIatory of Boston.
Mr. Bliss who kindly volunteered
to fill some of the omitted numbers
Of Miss Wagner acquitted himself so
well as to elicit repeated encores from
the audience. This home-talent con-
cert, while not marked with great
financial success, was yet rich mu'
sical treat to those who heard it.

ments constituting eight bands. Vio-
lin band, Spanish mandolin band,

High Kicking.

We don't like to be boastful OF the
pretty village of Bloomsbury. Of her
handsome ladies, or Of the many bright
and shining qualities of her more
talented denizens but we would like
to be permitted to remark this morn
ing (while mourning the loss of a
tooth kicked out by Bloomsbury
lawyer, one who is very affectionate
when the pavements are not slippery,
and while wearing swelled jaw the
result of his recent fall down and high
kick up) that for high kicking Blooms
burg has star performer in the
galaxy of her legal fraternity. But,
owing 20 the monopoly the ladies now
control in this line of theatrical enter
tainment, his name is withheld for the
present. But the very next kick he
makes of this kind we hereby threaten
to expose him to public scorn and
contempt as high kicker while flat
on his back.

Steam Heat VS.. Stove Heat.

Because of recent injury by fire
to the steam heating plant in Potts
vile, last Sunday was chilly day in
that town to ali who were entirely
reliant upon the steam warmth this
company supplies. 1t afforded a good
excuse to those who prefer to have
some excuse for not going to church,
and accordingly there was no worship
attempted in a half-dozen steam heat
ed churches. About 200 private fam
lilies and business places very sensibly
felt the GOODNESS of the bracing atmos-
phere and shivered in their homes
in many cases taking their meals with
wraps and overcoats on.
Steam heat, like natural gas, is all
right SO long as you get steady flow.
But experience demonstrates that both
your natural gas and steam heat may
refuse to flow under disturb condi-
tions, and that was what was the mat
ter in, Pottsville last Sunday. The
loss to the company was to the extent
of $4,000, with no insurance and the
loss to the owners of adjoining pro-
perty is estimated at at about as much
more.

Grier Quick and Lizzie Richart, took
part. The exercises consisted of sing
ing and instrumental music by the pu-

we'll as instructive talk.
A larger room than the school

Another Bloomsbury Citizen Dead,

After lingering illness James Cad.
man expired this life on the morning
Of the 18th instant. Being of English
nativity he came to this country with
his parents when quite young. Having
settled in Bloomsbury as ne grew up
he identified himself with some of the
business interests of the place, but
more particularly that of cabinet
making. During the war he entered
the army at the age of II, and from
this or other cause his health was lost
beyond recovery. Born in IS43 he
died in 1895, at the age OF So years,
leaving wife and son to mourn his
loss. His burial took place in Rose
mont Cemetery on Tuesday afternoon
with Rev. P. A. Heilman. of the Lu
theran church, officiating. His com
rades in war, of the Grand Army o.
the Republic, in attending his funera
paid his remains their last mark o
respect.

SOME SNOW.

They are having by far too much of
the beautiful snow to suit them in
California this winter-nothing like it
in years. The wind howls, the snow
slides and the cars stop. The snow is
banked up alongside the track in
some places as high as thirty feet. In
passing through these deep cuts the
snow scrapes the sides of the cars.
Coupling a number of engines to.
gether, and arranged to clear the
track, they take kind of run and
Jump at the big drifts and in some
cases thus force the snow aside suffi-
Cient to effect a passage.

Charles Kline, son of M. L. Kline,
the harnessmaker, while passing out OF
the gate on his way to school, on
Monday, fell on the ice and cut his
face over the eye quite badly. DR..
Bierman was called and sewed up the
wound. This is but one of many
accidents that have happened because
of slippery footing, which is simply
unavoidable when the elements con
spire to coat everything with ice. The
pavements of Bloomsburg are as
clean and safe as pavements generally
are in winter.

ate for Justice of the Peace at the

himself we'll qualified for the Office,
and the voters of the town will do well
to continue him in their service. He

no doubt be elected by large major
ity, or perhaps unanimously.

A jolly party took sleigh ride
down to James F. McBride's at Ru-

about sixty persons present. Danciug
and games were among the amuse-

supper which everybody enjoyed
greatly. The company rode down in

NOT A GOOD THING.

We understand that in some de.
partments of the public schools
the pupils are given half holiday
each month provided that no pupil
in that department is tardy during
the month. This is wrong. First,
because If one pupil is tardy il
knocks all the rest out of their holi-
day. Second, because if pupil
sees he is going to be five minutes
tardy he will stay out half the day,
making him absent, but not tardy.
Would il not be much better for
that pupil to be tardy for five min
utes than lose Il whole half day!
Again, If pupil comes in tardy he
at once becomes the subject of ridi-
cule and the object of scorn because
lie has knocked all the others out
of their half holiday.
The school day is short enough
at best and holidays should not be
promiscuously allowed. We are of
the opinion that under the law no
half holiday can be given in the
manner spoken of above, but we
may be wrong. If we are wrong we
make the assertion that the law is
faulty. Man has an inherent right
to kick, but If we are wrong we will
acknowledge the corn and burn the
