HARTMAN's ENLARGED STORE.
A Busy Place These Days.

Notwithstanding the very large
addition recently made to the store
OF I. w. Hartman & Son, by throw
ing the entire first floor of their build
ing into one room. they still find that
they need more space for the proper
display of their large and varied stock,
and they have therefore fitted up the
basement for mercantile purposes.
This gives them another good sized
room, easy of access, down short
and easy stairway. Here they have
arranged on shelves and counters a
fine lot of china, vases, plates of vari-
Gus kinds, fruit dishes, and many
other we'll selected pieces; toys OF all
kinds, and many other goods desirable
for the holiday trade.
The main store room is handsome
ly decorated and presents very at
tractive appearance. Additional
clerks have been employed SO that all
customers can be promptly waited on.
The rush OF visitors to this old and
reliable house indicates that the public
appreciates the progressive spirit that
is shown by the firm in endeavoring
to cater to the wants of their trade
Christmas purchases will not be com,
plete without visit to the store of l
w. Hartman & Son.

AN OLD NEW STORE.
Pursei's Mercantile House in Holiday Attire


A few weeks ago we attempted to
describe the improvements at F. P.
Pursel's store, made by the erection
of large addition to the building.
With nearly three times as much floor
space as before, this old stand is more
crowded with goods than before the
enlargement. and yet there is plenty
Of room for the accommodation Of
their customers and tor the convenient
handling Of the varied lines Of mer-
chandise.
The store is nicely decorated with
arches and plants, and the effect is
very pleasing. Among the attractive
counters are those containing china.
CUT glass, silverware, glass ware, dishes,
jardinieres, lamps, &c. The furniture
department on the second floor con-
tains bedroom suits, couches, book.
cases, side-boards, rockers and num-
erous other handsome pieces of fur
niture. A large assortment of dolls
and toys is new feature, and excites
the admiration of the little folks.
Space forbids special mention of the
various departments. A visit to this
store will assist in the selection oi
Holiday gifts. A large force of sales.
people are ready to attend to the
wants of all customers.

HIGH WATER.
Great Damage Done to Railroads, and
Traffic Stopped for time.

The heavy rain of Saturday. and
the rapid melting Of snow at the head
waters, caused sudden rise IN the
Susquehanna River and its tributaries.
The streams began to swell on Sun
day morning and continued to in
crease until Monday afternoon, when
they began to recede. At the foot of
Market street the water was up to
the bank top, and the back water was
over the road at the culvert, and ex-
tended back up over the East Bloom
road SO that driving on that road was
abandoned. The East Bloom bus
travelled down Market street all day
Monday.
Trains we're delayed on all the rail-
roads. A number of people went to
the Pennsylvania train at 4 o'clock,
Sunday afternoon, but the train could
not get through owing to washouts.
Passengers for the ID. l.. & w. at 6 sc
we're informed that there would be
no trains run through to New York.
The water was over the track be-
tween Nanticoke and Plymouth, and
also between Rupert and Catawissa,
and at other points. Mr.. E. S. Form
wald, ticket agent, informs us that at
one point on the main line there was
a washout a thousand feet long, and
thIrty-fve feet deep. On the Syracuse
division all the bridges were washed
away.
The mails reached here over the
Pennsylvania, on Monday morning,
but in many places this road suffered
severely. At Newbury, above Will
Transport, bridge gave way while a
freight train was crossing, and the
engineer, fireman and brakeman
we're all killed. Their bodies could
not be recovered until the water sub.
sided. The men all resided in Sun,
bury.
At ten O'Clock Monday morning the
water was % feet above low wate
mark at the Reading railroad bridge
at Rupert.
Fishing creek was very high, bu,
not so high as in 1889. The roat
along the creek below the doubl,
bridge was flooded. Considerable
damage was done at Mainville by the
overflow OF Catawissa creek. 4
county bridge over this stream, a
Peter Fishers in Beaver township
was carried away.

Supplements.

Owing to the demand upon our
space by advertisers at this season,
two supplemental pages are issued
this week and next, so that our read
ers may have the usual amount of en-
pertaining reading matter and not feel
that THE COLUMBIAN is an adver-
tising sheet only.
The use of our columns by adver-
tisers shows that the paper is known
to be good medium for publicity.
At the same time subscribers should
bear in mind that it is the advertising
that enables the publisher to sell the
paper at the low price of only one
dollar year.

CALENDARS FOR 1902.

AS has been our custom for several
years, THE COLUMBIAN has issued a
handsome calendar for the coming
year. They are intended for sub
scribers who have paid in advance,
and for our patrons and customers
generally. They are not for promls-
cuous distribution and will not be
given to children. The printing was
done entirely at this Office, except the
date pads. Each one contains half
tone picture showing the buildings
from THE COLUMBIAN to the First
National Bank. This calendar is
easily worth ten cents; at least it is a
handsomer calendar than some we
have seen which were ordered from
out .of-town parties, and which cost
the purchasers ten dollars a hundred,
or more.
Persons desiring this class of work
would save money by consulting us
before ordering from strangers.

Interesting History of senator Turks
Great Copp.r Nine.

Like all rich mines. the United
Verde. the greatest copper mine IN me
world and which Is owned by Senator
w. A. Clark Of Montana. has an IN
terestlng history. Clark bought ne
mine. which now earns sl2 .0Vl go 4
year profits. from two ONE Tor
$500 900. This was the way IL came
about. Two rsnchers in the Verla
valley located the property. They sold
out for $4,000 to William Murray ani
former Gov. Trittle of Arizona. One
of the ranchers promptly proceeded 10
drink himself into de!irium tremens
with his share OF the money. Mlrray
and Trittle induced two New York
women OF independent fortune TO back
them to the extent OF $500. 900 in the
development OF the mine. This money
was nearly all spent and the prospects
were blue when the miners struck a
pocket OF silver ore that paid 5000.
Murray died and Tri,tle failed 10 ger
any more profit out of the mine. Il
was abandoned for several years.
Clark with his foreman came down
property. They saw the Verde. liked
IL. went TO New York. found the wom-
en- only too glad to sell their stock for
its face value and got possession.
Clark proceeded TO develop the mine
scientifically and soon found that n
was right on the ore chute" as min
ers say. Then he built 4 hundred-ton
smelter and set about taking u the
ore that has made him the copper
king OF the world. There are about
5000 shares OF stock In the mining
company and Senator Clark owns then
all.
