Seth Annual Fall Opening and Exhibition
of Importations.

The great mercantile house of Jonas
Longs Sons, whose weekly Chats are
so eagerly read by the readers of the
COLUMBIAN, announce their Grand
Fall Opening of millinery goods, dress
novelties, silks and carpets. The
mere mention by this enterprising firm
of their intention to make such a dis
play should have the effect of crowd
ing their magnificent stores to over
flowing. Our readers are aware that
this firm conducts the largest business
of any like establishment in the Wyo-
ming valley, and their success is due
simply to the spirit of progressiveness
that dominates in every department,
and individuals in their mammoth
store. The stocks to be exhibited
this season are on par with the met
ropolitan stores and embraces the very
cream of textile fabrics. Having estab-
lished representatives in New York
they are in constant touch with the
leading settlers of fashion and their
general stocks indicate that that part
of their business is ably and carefully
managed. An insight into the plans
of interior decorations, especially de-
signed for the occasion, brings to mind
scene from wonderland; everything
that can be done to make the store
attractive and pleasant for strangers
is being carried out with a carefulness
to details of the firm. The 9th Regi-
ment Band under the personal direc-
ton OF Prof Alexander gave delight
full promenade concert on Wednesday
evening, the goth inst, to inaugurate
the grand event, The general open
ing and exhibition days will be on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Oct.
I, 2 and 3. Our readers are very
cordially invited by the firm to visit
the store on the occasion.

Last week bills were placed in all
newspapers sent out from this office,
inside the county, where the subscriber
owes for one year or more. There
were over five hundred of them, and
the bills aggregated large amount.
They were sent out, not for amuse-
ment, but because the money is due,
and is needed. Up to going to press,
two persons have paid their bills, and
two more have promised. -Four people
out of five hundred And yet some
think that we ought not to dun our
subscribers through the paper. If
we could live on wind, and pay our
bills with promises never fulfilled, we
wouldn't have to dun anybody. But
as it takes cash to pay wages and
other bills, we again say to those who
received bills last week that they were
sent out because we want the money.
1t is hoped that attention will not
have to be called to the matter again.

A LARGE NAVY
Germany's Emperor and Cabinet Con
sidering Il Project for a For
mdnhie Increase
IN !R0NclADS AND CRUISERS
A Financial Difficulty Exists, but
There Is "A Plan to Over
come This.

Cable Copyrighted, 1895, by Associated Press
BERLIN, Jan. p, a project is now be-
ing seriously considered by the emperor
AND cabinet, providing for a formidable
increase of the German navy. 1t is well
known that his majesty has long wished
to do this; but the refusal Of the reich
stag to vote the necessary funds rem
Qcred the scheme impossible up to the
present. Recent events, however, cspeC-
tally the attitude of Great Britain tow
ard Germany, have ripened the plan to
accomplish an extension of the navy
without d grant Of large sums Of money
by the rcichstag.
The emperor, during the past fort
night, has had number of conferences
with the authorities on colonial affairs
with reference to the position and tine
needs of the German colonies, as com
pared with naval powers, and the made
quacy Of the German navy, particularly
in first class ironcads and cruisers, to
maintain Germary'a pretensions as d
colonial power was generally recogni2ed
This years budget shows hut small
item for new battle ships and the present
reichstag, which expires in 1898, will not
vote arge sums fer the navy. Therefore
in order to overcome the difficulty thus
presented It is now proposed to raise d
loan Of 30OOCOCNO marks, means for
