Male Choir Concert.

The beautiful Presbyterian church
so generously given for the Male Choir
Concert was Tuesday evening packed
to the door with an appreciative audi
ence to hear the rendering of the pro-
gram, and from the frequent outbursts
of manifestation they were not disa-
pointed. 1t was fore gone conclus-
ion that the readings Of Mrs. J. l..
Richardson and Mrs. Grant Herring
would please, entertain and instruct,
and in this the prophesy was more
than fulfilled. Miss Elsie Hicks in
her usual mastery manner charmed
the audience so that it was necessary
for her to respond to an encore.
The trio entitled "The Barber" in
which Mr.. J. K. Sterling OF Freeland,
sang the solo, was must heartily re-
celved. Mr.. Sterling was a member
Of 1890 choir and could always be re-
lied on. The "Medley" rendered by
the old choir, und their old leader and
organist Prof. l. w. Niles of Wilkes
Barre, was SO enthusiastically received
that they were compelled to respond.
1t is needless to say that the num-
bers given by the present male choir,
whether as choir quartet, Duet, or
solo were warmly greeted, and much
credit is due their present leader, Prof
0. H. Yetter for the proficient manner
IN which their music is presented to
the general public, and we think we
voice the sentiment Of the good people
of our town when we say we apprecl-
ate and are proud of our Y. M. c. A.
choir. In closing this article we de-
sire to go back in the history of the
Y. M. c. A. ten years and drop a
tribute to the now venerable, genial
and affable Prof. l. w. Niles, who
with his musical accomplishments Or
ganized and rehearsed with the boys
until they then was a great drawing
power, and a mighty factor in the Y.
M. c. A. work, and it must have been
to him in his declining years, as we'll
as to his old choir most pleasant oc.
casion to meet again, and for him 10
know and see that his mantle had
fallen upon such an able successor.

Rush To Cape Nome Has Begun.
Nineteen Expeditions Have Left Dawson A.
ready and Many More Will Follow.

Ronald Morrison, Vice-Gonsul at
Dawson City, Can, in repor; to the
State Department, has the following
to say in regard to Dawson City and
Cape Nome under date of January
ID:
Business In Dawson this season
has been very quiet, chiefly because
the population is nearly Coco less
than last year. Prices, however, re-
main firm, and an inquiry at several
of the leading stores shows the follow
ing percentages of profit rtill obtain
ing: On drugs and medicines, 800 per
cent; books and stationery, 500 per
cent; boots and shoes, $50 per cent;
clothing, SO per cent; groceries, 200
per cent; hardware, 400 per cenr.
Champagne, any brand, sells at $a4o
per case of one dozen quarts;
beer, in barrels, containing
eight dozen bottles, $Ioo per barrel;
whisky, SIS to $45 per case Of one
dozen bottles, or $40 to 500 per
gallon.
"In addition to the duty on liquors,
there is further tax of So per i'm
perial gallon, called the "federal tax
Saloon licenses are worth $4,000 per
annum. A singular feature in con-
nection with these is a charge Of $50
for an application for a license. If
the application is denied, the $50 is
not returned to the applicant. The
revenue estimated by the Finance
Committee of the Yukon Council from
liquor permits for the fiscal year end
Ing June 50, 1900 is 100000; for
licenses, 500, 1000.
GOLD OUTPUT MAY FALL.
"The flooding OF many of the mines
on the various creeks, as the result of
the continuation of the mild weather
early in the season, may have an effect
upon the output for the year. 1t is
still rather early to venture on fore
cast. but, taking into consideration
the improved methods now employed,
a conservative estimate places the
figures at from $25,ooo,ooo to $780,
100000.
"Nineteen expeditions have left
Dawson for the Nome District since
December 4, 1909, and as the days
|engthen and the weather moderates
many more will start. 1t is reported
here that 100 are now on the way
from Skaguay. Late news from Nome
BY mail from St. Michaels confirm the
reports of the richness of the district.
and also announces new finds in the
interior, but lack OF fuel prohibits
:hese being worked in winter. Typhoid
'ever has made its appearance, and
the mortality from this disease is in-
creasing."

The annual encampment of the De-
partment of Pennsylvania, Grand
Army of the Republic, to be held at
Gettysburg, June a to 6, will be the

will be made to care for the immense
crowd which is certain 10 visit Gettys-

The Farm journal is unlike any
other paper ; for one thing it prints
no quack medical advertisements;
for another it takes five year sub
scriptions and gets the paper to its
subscribers the full time if they are
anywhere on this planet, even if
they move two or three times; if
they die their heirs get it. Now
we are going to combine with the
Farm Journal and send THE COL
UMBIAN one year and the Farm
journal neary S years (remainder
of 1900, and all Of 1901, 1902, 1908
and I9o4) to every advance paying
subscriber, new and old, to THE
COLUMBIAN. This great offer had
better be accepted before it is with
drawn.

$500 IN OASh PRIZES.

Anna Catherine Green is one oil
the most famous of American writer's.
1t would seem, therefore, the an
nouncement of the Philadelphia Sun
day Press that it proposes to give free

with next Sundays Press (Philadel-
phia, March IS), her greatest novel,
would create a sufficient Juror. 1t is
the rule of the Philadelphia Press,
however, not to do things by halves
consequently, in addition to giving
free this great novel, announcement
is made that $500 in cash prizes will
be distributed among readers on a
very simple plan. There will be one
prize of $Ioo, FIVE of $40 each, ten
OF $40 each, so that no person need
to be entirely disappointed. Read
Anna Catherine Green's story in the
Illustrated booklet, which will be given
free with next Sundays Press, and
you will learn how to secure one OF
the cash prizes. The demand is GER
tain to be great therefore, you had
better order next Sundays Press in
advance.

Fast Cotton Pickers.

Col, ]. n. Crockett handed US
two clippings sent him by his
Son, Mr. ". II. Crockett of Texas
showing how some of those Texas
people can pick cotton. They
are as follows:
Miss Hattie Guynes, aged sin
teen years, of Chatfield, daughter
of Mrs. George Guynes, besides
being very handsome young
lady, has other qualities of high
sterling kind. Last Monday she
went into her mothers cotton
field to help pick cotton and her
days work weighed up 6O3 lbs.
This record has been beaten in
Navarro county by Mr.. and Mrs.
McNiver, who between them,
picked 1863 pounds, but for a
young lady sixteen years old it
shows up well in the cotton pick
ing records.-Texas Star.
Emmett Berry, who weighs only
l15 pounds, on Monday picked
All pounds of cotton Luna, who
wheighs SO pounds picked410 lbs;
Alice, weighing II, picked 800
pounds; and little Elmer. weigh
ing only 6S, picked 322 pounds.

Fire In the County.

The barn, stable and crib of
Mr.. w. B. Bruce of the Heath
Spring section were destroyed
by fire Friday night last about
III o'clock. Besides the build
ings, he lost lot of fodder,
some gears and two mules, the
latter of which belonged to one
of his sons. 1t is thought that
the fire was started by some
miscreant who had ridden one
of his mules and dropped a
lighted match when he put the
mule back. There was no in
surance, and the total loss was
several hundred dollars.

man when 1T is revolving to relate her
private troubles to a man.
Many women suffer in silence snd
drift along from bad to worse, know
ing full well that they should have

modesty impels them to shrink from
exposing themselves to the questions

Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to freely
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at
Lynn, Mass.
All letters are received, opened,
read and answered by women only.
This is positive fact-not a mere
statement. 1t is certified to by the
mayor and postmaster of LYNN and
others whose letters, all in little book,
Mrs. Pinkham has just published.
Nrlte for copy, it is free. Thus
has been established the eternal csst-

women of America which has never
been broken and has. induced more
than 100000 sufferers to write her for
advice during the last few months.
Out of the vast volume of experience
which she has to draw from, il Is
more than possible that she has gained
the very knowledge that will help
your case. She asks nothing in re-
turn except your goodwill, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Here
