American Union Council No 537
Jr. o. u. A. NJ, of Bloomsburg, is
desirous of showing to the people of
this city one of the old time demon
STATIONS, on the one hundred and
nineteenth anniversary Of our nations
birth, and as the above Council is in
the infancy we would suggest to the
business men of town that it would be
to their interest as we'll as ours to be
liberal in their contributions when
our collector calls with subscription
paper to help defray expenses The
above have never asked the help of
the public on any other occasion and
would be loathe to do so now only
that it is their belief that the people
of this town should spend their money
in their own town at least once In
awhile and induce strangers from
other towns to pay us visit and give
the town of Bloomsbury, a good boom
for the increasing good times in the
near future. Hoping to have the
cooperation of all business men and
citizens of Bloom. Those wishing to
take part will please report to CON-
mittee of arrangements.

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

Pursuant to adjournment the Town
Council met last Thursday night, all
the members present.
The subject Of the Indebtedness of
the town and how to meet it, was dis.
cussed. The bonded debt is now
$3794o.oo. The assessed valuation
is So, 100000 per cent. of which is
$4,000, the limit to which bonds can
be issued except by a vote of the
people. 1t is proposed to submit the
question TO vote, for permission to
increase the bonds to $40, 90.
This is the only feasible plan, as the
tax rate would otherwise have to be
very high and burdensome in order 70
produce enough money to meet the
debts that must be paid
w. S. Meyer entered complaint
against burning of rubbish and paper
in the alley near Meyer Bros barn.
Referred to committee on fire and
water.
The electric light question was
brought up, and DR.. J. P. Welsh
stated that the Normal School had
under consideration a plant of their
own, as the present contract will ex.
pire soon, but if the Town builds a
plant and will furnish the School good
light as cheap or nearly SO as they
could themselves, they would in all
probability take from the Town plant.
Corey then moved that we bond the
Town for a sum not to exceed $2o,-
ooo.oo to be set aside for an electric
light plant for town purposes. Second
ed by Kester and carried.
Solicitor Little was instructed to
put the matter in proper form, and
present it to the court asking for a
special election. The amount needed
is as follows:
Electric Light Plant. $4,000
Klngrose case. ............. 1000
Outstanding orders. ........ 1900
Opening Jefferson street. -. 1900

Building permits were granted to
Mrs. Clark for repairs to her home on
Market st. M. H. Rhoades, for John
Fry, house on Seventh St. J. S. Blue
for house on East St.
Street Committee reported that a
crossing should be put in at the B. &
S. at the Ralston addition or made
passable in some way. Laid on table
till next meeting.
They further recommend DR.. Laz
arus to be notified to put down q
pavement in front of his lot on Wes

Care of the Teeth in Summer.

From now throughout all the
warmer months one eats more sour
vegetables and more fruit. AS these
are bad for the teeth, while generally
excellent for the stomach, extra care
should be taken in much brushing and
care that the lime of the teeth is not
eaten into by the acid. After every
meal is not too often to brush the
teeth, and it should be conscientiously
done while this sort of food is on the
table.

cussion at the opening session OF the Southern

a GREAT GATHERING or REPUBLICANS

MUCH INTEREST FELT IN THE APPROACHING
LEAGUE CONVENTION IN CLEVELAND.
Columbus Ohio May II (SpeciaD.-E. J. Miller. Of
this city, secretary OF the Ohio State League OF
Republican Clubs and member OF the Committee
on Arrangements for the coming National Conven-
ton OF Republican Clubs, to be held In Cleveland
next month. speaking Of the prospects Of the con-
vention. says
"Of the $500 delegates who entitled to seats
In the convention have the assurance OF the
attendance OF 100. 1nasmuch 1t will be the
first large gathering OF Republicans since the VIC
tory last fall. 1t will have important bearing
the coming Presidential campaign. The office Of
president of the National League will therefore
possess greater Importance and honor than
before. and the contest for the place has already
begun In earnest. A number OF names have been
suggested but the struggle is fast simmerng down
to a battle between the East and West. The latter
phaanx for Mr. McAipn. Of Eew-York''
Notwithstanding this, II Is believed that Ohio will
cut small figure in the selection OF a president
OF the National League. ID. u. Woodmanze presi-
dent OF the Ohio League is in training for the race
and Is now avowed candidate for the first place.
In the event OF a compromise. he will undoubtedly
be strong factor. and II Is not improbable in view
OF the growing interest In the contest that Ohio will
land the prize.
What the attitude OF the convention will be in the
nomination or man to head the Republican
ticket In the rapidly approaching Presidential cam
pagn Is not yet apparent All the candidates have
been invited to be present. and Governor Mckinley
has been chosen as the chief orator at the grand
banquet to be given on the evening Of the second
day OF the convention. Among the other speakers
who have accepted Invitations Is ex-senator Ingalls,
