of Song, Sunday afternoon at 2.3o
O'Clock, for men only. Each church
will be represented on tine program,
with its very best selection of Easter
music, By this arrangement those
who attend this service will have the
privilege of hearing the very best from
each church. Something they cannot
secure in any other way. On the
occasion of the last Song Service men
were turned away, and as this pro

EDITOR COLUMBIAN:

Wilkes Barre, Pa. April 6, 1895.
EDITOR COLUMBIAN
would like to say a word in behalf
of one Of Bloomsburg's latest in
dustries, namely, the Penn Elevator
Works. l have just completed a
three story block of two store rooms
and four ware rooms, in which Mr..
f. T. Long, my employer, had two
Of the Penn Elevators placed, to the
perfect satisfaction of the Architect
and owner.
Thomas Podmon, Architect, and
S. J. Strauss owner. 1t is simple in its
construction, and yet perfect in its
work.
l have had considerable experience
in elevators myself, but must confess
that the Penn takes the prize for
simplicity. 1t is rapid, yet perfectly
safe, simple yet powerful. The work
was executed in seventeen days, by
Ira c. Seiple and H. c. Rulon, two
expert young men IN that line who
won lots of esteem in this place.
Bloomsburg can certainly feel proud
of such industries as this.

BLOOM POOR DISTRICT.
One Of the Auditors turns on more Liqh
Editor COLUMBIAN:
Dear Sir,

Editor COLUMBIAN:
Dear Sir,
Your article of last week was
timely as throwing some light on
the Poor District business. But
not quite satisfactory, as more light
is needed.
Your quotation from the law in
regard to the matter is no doubt
correct except as to the compensation
OF the auditors. Please look again
and see if the auditors fees are not
fixed by the act at one dollar per day.
You say that, "For some years past
1t has been customary for the auditors
to allow the directors one hundred
dollars per year" A little explanation
seems to be needed in regard to this
fixing of compensation. The facts
seem to be that board of auditors
some years ago was worked up to the
point OF granting to the directors one
hundred dollars as salary, and after
that each succeeding board of audit.
ors was made to believe that the law
fixed the salary at that sum, and that
the auditors had no control over the
matter, and SO il has run on.
The question of directors compensa.
ton was raised at last audit, and was
disposed of by the statement from
one of the directors that the law fixed
1t, and the auditors-or at least part
of them knowing no better, took it
for granted. But we find the law says
the compensation of the directors
shall be fixed by the board of auditors
at each yearly settlement for the next
succeeding year." Now since this
has not been done, what is the posi-
ton of the directors in regard to
salary for this year1 The last cam
paign for the dictatorship, and the
doings since make it clear that reform
is needed. If the directors were paid
something less than hundred dollars
the scramble for the place would not
be SO lively. While the question is
before the tax payers of the district
let the investigation 60 on until all
the abuses that have crept in are laid
bare, then hold the proper parties res
ponsible for the correction of the
same.
Yours truly
A. P. YOUNG.

The smallest sum ever realized by a

The smallest sum ever realized by a
Sheriff's sale in Lancaster county was
that just received from the sale of
the personal property of Isaac Walton,
of Mount Nebo. A few years ago
he was prosperous merchant, but
a series of misfortunes ended ir
financial ruin. At the sale just held
only the neighbors were present, and
these refused to bid against Mrs.
Walton. The Sheriff first offered the
goods at their supposed value in dol
lars, finally dropping to cents, and in
the end Mrs. Walton bought in every.
thing for thirty-one cents.

Some of the salaries of the Bloom
Poor District officers have been gradu-
ally advanced. In 1870 DR.. J. r.
Schuyler and J A. Funston received
fifty dollars each as directors, but
they received some additional pay as
secretary and treasurer. From that
time to 1884 the pay Of directors was
$500 and that of the secretary
$1,000. In 1884 the secretarys
salary was advanced to SIS. In 1888
the directors and secretary received
$SI,a5, and In 1850 it was raised to
$Ioo all around. Singularly enough,
it does not appear by the published
statements. that the auditors ever
performed the duty imposed upon
them by law, namely, the fixing of
the compensation of the directors at
each yearly settlement. They have
followed the same form year after
year, almost verbatim, and their atten.
ton was probably never called to the
fact that they were to fix the salaries
of directors. This is a duty that
should no longer be neglected.

A sing liar case of superstition af-
fecting several hundreds of people ap-
peared at Scranton, on Monday.
Some time ago woman mind reader
predicted that there would be an ex-
plosion In the Saquoit Silk Mills, by
which hundred of the girls employed
there would be killed. When the pre-
diction was made public it created
great CONSERVATION among the opera
tives of the mill, and as Monday was
the time fixed by the mind reader for
the explosion to take place the hands
went to work in the morning with
great misgivings. The terror of the
explosion that they expected to take
place proved too great and 600 girls
quit work almost as soon as the mill
opened. The dread of the impending
explosion spread to the hands at work
ia the Meadowbrook Silk Mill, the
Harvey Silk Mill and button and
woolen factory near by, and 100
hands from these establishments quit
work for the day, making a total of
1900 people who lost a days wages
by the silly prediction of charlatan.

THE WILD HORSES OF NEVADA.
They Are a Nuisance to the Ranchers and
Are Being Shot Wherever Found.


r. L. Fulton of Reno, for number
of years agent of the land department
of the Central Pacific railroad, is at the
California and tells a strange story OF
the myriads Of wild horses now roam
ing over Nevada and Of the steps that
have been taken to get rid of them.
There are now i'll Nevada more than
200, 600 head Of these horses, said Mr..
Fulton, land they are increasing so
fast that they are getting to be a great
nuisance Cattle and sheep owners are
killing them wherever they can.
1.-The last Legislature passed a law
permitting any one to shoot any stall
lions that were found running Wild
and the ranchers have in consequence
been killing them off wherever they
could They do this as well to get rid
of them as to keep the wild horses from
increasing
1.-The trouble is they are eating off
the grass so that sheep and cattle own
ers are having tough time of it i'll GER
tain sections. More than this, the stall
lions are in many cases leading off the
domestic horses from the ranches. So
the ranchers have it in for them and
are making it very lively. Many is the
stallion they have killed, and some of
them are very fine too.
And what do you suppose they do
with them afterward? Why, they turn
them over to the swine to eat. They
figure that in this way each stallion is
worth about 50, which is the top notch
figure that can be realized from them.
Horses are very cheap now the world
over, but probably not since the settle
ment of America have horses been so
cheap as they are in Nevada.
Most Of the wild horses are in the
neighbOrhOod of ElkO and Iron Point.
A few years ago there was turned loose
from the Evans ranch, near Iron Point,
q fine thoroughbred stallion. He joined
the neighboring bands Of wild horses
and could not be got back again.
THE result has been that the quail
ty of the herds was greatly improved.
He left many colts that were much su-
perior to the old stock. The various
bands have increased much since then.
While many of the horses would not be
called first class, others are very fine,
and all are as tough as pine knots and
as fleet as there is any use i'll having
horses. San Francisco Examiner.
