Fell into Good hands.

Maurice Power, the young violinist
with the Kane Opera company, who
was taken i'll while here last week left
Clearfeld Monday for his home in
Berlin, Ontario, Canada, with heart
full ofthankfulness and remembrance
of Clearield and Clearheld people that
he will never forget. When stranded
here Maurice, only IS years of age,
was without money, and total stran-
ger. He was lucky that he took sick
at the Whitmire Inn, for Landlord
Carbon and his family cared for the
boy as tenderly as If he was one of
their own. He rapidly grew better, and
on Saturday he was given an lmpromp-
tu benefit in the hotel parlors by some
of the kind hearted men about town,
at which a neat sum of money was
raised. Sunday another benefit was
extended at which something like $40
was contributed, the members of the
Royer Bros. company giving So. of it.
So on Monday young Power was able
to start for his home in excellent spirits.
He says he will never forget Clearfeld
and hopes to come back ere long
Clearfeld Republican.
The young man will be remember
ed by all who witnessed the presenta-
ton of the "Grand Duchess" by the
Kane Opera Co., in Bloomsburg, a
few weeks ago. He was with them
on that occasion and rendered two
violin solos in a very sklltul manner.

The New Years LadieS' H0mc
/0MWa/ gives assurance of a purpose
to make that magazine more useful
and hopeful, and stronger in its liter
ary and artistic features, during 1900
than ever before. 1t contains a num-
Der of practical articles; besides a
score of features of lighter interest,
and opens with full page drawing by
w. l.. Taylor, illustrating Longfellow's
Village Blacksmith. Early Colonial
social life is mirrored in "The Most
Artistic social Event in America" -
the annual ball OF the Philadelphia
"Assembly," an article that will be
read with unusual interest. A close
range view OF strong interest is given
of Leschetizky, by Cleveland Mofett,
who discloses the methods of "The
Man Who Taught Paderewski," and
Elizabeth G.. Jordan tells "What it
Means to be a Newspaper Woman" a
subject upon which she writes from
her own experience.
Edward Box, in the January journal
writes on "The Rush of American
Women making a plea for more re-
pose, through which the real pleasures
of life are to be extracted. In fiction,
the experiences of "The Girls of Camp

"A Bachelors HONEYMOON

ga Bachelors Honeymoon, which
will be seen at the Opera House Fri
day Dec. 5oth, will act as a pleasant
surprise, both in the character of the
play, and the excellence of the men,
bers of the cast. Hoyt's Theatre, New
York, was the scene of its launching,
and it has ridden on the crest of pros
perity ever since. The comedy is from
the pen of John Stapleton, whose work
as a stage manager and producer has
been we'll and long identified with
stage work in this country. ga Bach
elor's Honeymoon" was written for a
sole purpose of producing laughter,
and it is filled with funny and scream
ingly odd situations. The play has
been constructed in a cleanly and legi.
innate way, and amuses and convulses
without double entendre. In addition
to the merit ofthe play, attention must
be called to the very strong company
which presents the farce. 1t is seldom
that farce comedy receives its pre-
sentation at the hands of legitimate
actors; but in ga Bachelors Honey
moon the exception proves to be the
rule, for every one connected with It
has made his or her name in the dra-
matte field. The company is headed
by Mr.. George +. Nash, the excellent
leading man whose work with Mr..
Joseph Jefferson, MIR. w. ]. Florence,
Miss Olga Nethersole, and other re-
putable stars, will be distinctly re-
membered. 1t is only sufficient to
say that IN the character of Mr.. Paul,
(Small Bottles) in "Chlmme Fadden"
1t stood pre-eminent as strong piece
OF work. Mr. Geoffrey Stem is well
and tavorably known tor his splendid
character work with the Columbia
Stock Company in Washington, will
be seen in the role of Doctor Schwartz
German physician. Miss Edith
Athelstone, the leading lady, who plays
the part of Juno Joyce, will be pleas
antly remembered as having created
the leading part in Mr.. A. M. Palmer's
company presenting "That Man" and
Days "The Ghisha".

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
your water and let it stand twenty-four
hours: sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys;
if it stains your linen it is evidence of
kidney trouble; too frequent desire to
pass it or pain in the back is also con-
vincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
fulflls every wish in curing rheumatism
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, blad-
der and every part of the urinary pass
ages. 1t corrects inability to hold
water and scalding pam in passing it,
or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being com,
PEELED to go often during the day, and
to get up many times during the night
The mild and the extraordinary effect
of Swamp-Root is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need medicine you should have
the best. At druggists fifty cents or
one dollar.
You may have sample bottle and
a book that tells more about it, both
sent absolutely free by mail, if YOU
send your address to DIR. KILMER &,
Co., BGNGHAMToN, n. Y. When writ
ing be sure and mention that you read
this generous offer in THE COLUMBIAN.

The Wife and Her Husbands BUSINESS.

SIT is cause of amazement to me
that a man can go on, year in andyear
out, toiling for family whose men,
bers show no interest in his work
further than to spend the money he
makes, and who look upon him as the
family MINT" writes Frances Evans in
the January Ladies' Home Journal.
My firm belief is that had he, in the
first flush of married life, talked over
his business and ambitions with his
wife, she would have become interest
ed in both, first for his sake, and after
ward for her own and their chiidren's.
Think of the gulf that lies between a
man and woman united in marriage
when he never speaks at home of the
affairs which absorb his entire day!
Mutual interests will bind people to-
gether indissolubly even when indiffer-
ence, that dangerous bridge of sighs,
has swallowed up affection"

Missing From Home.

Frank Woods, a well known travel
ing salesman of Danville, who is travel.
ing for the Catawissa Shoe Manufact
uring Company, suddenly disappeared
from home Thursday, and the c!rcum-
stances point to death by drowning,
MIR. Woods left his residence on
lower Mulberry street, Danville, Thurs
day morning before breakfast. He
was next seen at the canal lock above
the Asylum. In a conversation with
the lock tender, he explained that he
was on his way to Catawlssa. He had
missed the train, he said, and intend
ed to walk up. A short time after a
man answering MIR. Woods description
was seen by the lock tenders son,
walking on the ice out on the river.
The young man went on with some
work he had on hand and when he
looked up a minute later the man had
disappeared, although he had not time
in the interval TO reach either shore.
He felt sure that the man must have
drowned and so informed his father.
Learning later that Frank Woods was
missing from home the lock tender in
formed those in search Of him of the
circumstances of the man disappear
ing on the river, which as time wore
on, left but little doubt that poor
Frank was lying in the river under the
ice. Through the gloomy hours OF
the winter evening and night the anx.
ious watch and inquiry was kept up by
his family and friends but no news
could be cleaned as to his whereabouts.
As far as could be learned he never
reached Cotawissa.
His brother states that 1t was no un-
usual thing for Frank to walk to Cata-
wlssa, where he had business with the
shoe factory. He thinks that he found
walking bad on one side and under
took to cross the river hoping to find
better walking on :he other side as
we'll as to save three miles in the dis
tance and that the Ice gave way be-
meath his weight.
Mr.. Woods family have abandoned
the hope of finding him alive, and
Saturday morning parties began drag
ging the river, hoping to recover his
body. The ice moved off the river
Thursday night 1t is hardly likely
that the searchers will succeed as
there is strong current in the river
and the body was probably carried
along by it for miles. The drowned
man leaves a widow and three daught-
ers.-S unbury Item.
