PURSEL'S NEW STORE.
Enlarged and Improved, it is an Up 10 Date
Establishment.

One OF the oldest business houses
in Columbia county stands on the
corner of Main and Market streets,
Bloomsburg. 1t was established in
1S4o by William McKelvy & Co., and
passed successfully into the hands of
McKelvy, Neal & Co., then to l. W..
KcKelvy, and in 1894 it was purchas-
ed by F. P. Pursel and Samuel H.
Harman. After year Mr.. Harman
sold his half interest to Mr.. Pursel who
then became sole owner. For num-
Der of years Mr.. Pursel had been the
head clerk and buyer in l. w. Nc
Kelvy's store, so that he entered upon
the undertaking with useful experience
and thorough knowledge of the busi-
ness. His wide acquaintance, his
general popularity, his well-known
character as young man of strict
integrity coupled with his experience,
gave him start such as few young
men who engage in an enterprise for
themselves are favored with. His ven
ture has proven success from the
start. An infusion of young blood
and new ideas into the old store
frightened it up wonderfully. New
lines of goods were gradually added
and the business enlarged until the
old store room became entirely too
small, and the enlargement of the
building became imperative. A few
months ago this was decided upon
and the work began. The old fame
storehouse which had long been an
unsightly object was torn down, and a
brick addition erected to the rear o1
the store building. This addition is
so by 60 feet, two stories high, with a
cemented basement of same dimen'
sions. This makes three floors each
ia by 50 feet, with storage room be-
sides in the third floor. Each hool
has $500 square feet OF floor space, ol
, a total of I7Ioo square feet besides
the third floor.
The basement is used for genera
storage purposes. The first floor con
tains well-stocked departments for dry
goods, notions, coats and suits, grocer
les, queensware, glassware, tinware
agate ware, jardinieres, china ware
cut glass, fancy goods, etc, and a very
large department for shoes. The lines
handled in ladies' wear are the Rad
cliff and Patrician in fine goods, anc
the Bay State in cheaper grade. Ir
mems wear are the Bostonian, and
Keith's Konqueror in fine grade, ano
the Bay State for less money. Other
lines are handled also. This depart
ment contains a stock that would
make large shoe store by itself
Rubbers, gum boots and felt boots

VIOLATED HEAVENS COMMAND.
Peter R. Baldy Takes His Own Life.

BY the selfinhicted death of Peter
R. Badly, Catawissa has lost resi-
dent who in earlier life was one of its
most potent business factors. The
announcement of his suicide was a ter
rible shock to the people of our neigh
boring town, and many were loath 10
place any credence in the report until
they viewed the body with their own
eyes.
He had gone 20 the back porch,
fastened rope to bird cage hook,
then about his nee ID to make sure
work OF it had raised his feet from the
floor. He was discovered in this posi-
tion by a Mrs. Rhawn, who had stopp-
ed to make call. She quickly spread
the alarm. Charles +. Randall and
Fred Hartman, nearby nelghbors were
the first to reach the scene. They
cut the body down and worked with
1t for some time in the hope OF start.
ing respiration, but 1t was too late.
Mr.. Badly had taken advantage of
his wife's absence. Sne had gone out
short time previous to spend an
hour or SO with the family of her pastor
Rev. U. Meyers, and was greatly
affected when informed of her hus-
bands rash act.
Mr.. Badly was we'll advanced in
years and in few months would have
reached the allotted three score and
ten. He was first class business
man and possessed of excellent judg-
ment. why he took his life is be-
yond the ken of his relatives and
friends. His mind must have been
affected. No person with all his facul-
ties will run away from this worlds
Ills, that at the very worst, and par
..cu.arly in this case, will soon blow
Q e thinking to mend ourselves by
boldly venturing on world unknown,
and plunging headlong in the dark.
It's madness. There is no other frenzy
half SO desperate.
Previous to committing the deed he
had written three letters, one to each
of his sons Frank and Stephen and
one to w. H. Rhawn. Their contents
have not been made public.
Beside the two sons above named,
a wife and one daughter, Mrs. Eliza
beth Derr, survive. Mrs. Matilda
Hughes of this town is sister.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1901-09-12

Through the efforts of Rev. d. N.
Kirkby there have been collected the
portraits of nine former fectors of St.
Paurs P. E. Church. They are the
Revs. May, MARBLE, Rudderow, Weilly,
Russell, Cullen. Hewitt, Zahner and
Leverett and Bartlett, an assistant
in 1879. These have been neatly
framed and hung in the sacristy of
the church, An effort is being made
to secure portraits of all the Bishops
under whose jurisdiction this parish
has been since 1898. They are
Bishops White, Onderdonk, Potter.
Bowman, Stephens, Howe, Rulison,
and the present Bishop Talbot. Por-
traits of Bishops Potter and Rulison
have been procured. The former was
presented to the parish recently by
Rev. ]. McAlpin Harding, the cler-
gyman who for many years was the
missionary in charge of St. Gabriel's,
at Coles Creek. A photograph of
Bishop Stephens is now being enlarged
and will soon be added to the collec
ton.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1901-09-12

are also kept in great variety.
At the rear of the store room is a
Warner elevator with a capacity OF
1900 pounds.
On the second floor the furniture
department occupies space OF so by
60 feet. Here are to be found bed
room suits, side.boards, chairs, rock
ers, couches, iron bed-steads, combi-
nation book eases, sc. Oil cloth and
carpet chain also have space on this
floor.
The old shoe department is now
occupied by blankets, curtains, pillows,
window shades, mattresses, bed-spring
etc.
Eleven clerks are employed in the
several departments, besides the pro-
prietor, cashier, book-keeper, cellar
man and delivery man, making six
teen people in all. Extra help is EN-.
ployed during the holidays, or when
ever the trade demands it.
Besides the improvements named,
others are contemplated, and it will
probably not be many years before a
new front will be put in the store, and
the main building raised another story
with square root.
These improvements have made
Market Square one of the prettiest to
be found in the State, and Mr.. Pursers
enterprise should be rewarded by a
continuance OF the very liberal pat
ronage heretofore extended, and which
has encouraged him to go to great ex-
pense in order to meet the demands
of his large and growing business.

RECEIVING TAXES.

County Treasurer Mehl is at present
engaged in receiving the taxes from
the town treasurers of the various
towns, and this must all be collected in
given time, for during the latter part
of next month Mr.. Mehl will have to
make his returns to the state treasurer.
Town treasurers are therefore given
until the second Monday of the month
in which to turn in their taxes to the
county treasurer. So far not many of
the towns have made their settlements,
but it is expected that within a few
days the money will come pouring in.
The receipt first issued was to the town
of Mcmillan, which was for S41S.S5.
This village invariably, in years gone
by, has been the first to settle. The
total taxes to be received from the town
treasurers is S1tO, SILT, of which about
1900 has now been paid in. The school
tax to be raised is $1S, 146, but Mara
thon county receives back from the
state S19. 5G5.71, of which the city will
receive S5,341.18. OF this school tax,
allotted by the state, the town of Wes-
ton receives the greatest amount
S93961; five towns receive $500 or
more, while the others receive smaller
amounts

NEED ASSISTANCE.

Poor Commissioner Fred Holz has re-
ceived word from the Oshkosh author
tiles of a case that now demands his
attention. Manley H. Bickford, who
formerly lived here, moved to Oshkosh
early last season in company with Joe
Greenkorn and started a pop factory
and during the summer he was taken
sick and died At the time of death he
was in very Strengthened circumstances
he had invested what little money he
had and the business had not paid very
large dividends. His family was large
and of course the funds on hand did
not go far. In time, things came to
such pass that the family was obliged
to apply to the city authorities for
but they making an investi-
cation, found that they had not resided
in the county year and were therefore
not charges of the city of Oshkosh, but
of Wausau, and so notified the poor
here. Mr. Holz is at
present looking up quarters for them
and as soon as he finds a suitable place
will forward transportation. Why this
family should be so poverty stricken is
a mystery to many, for of the numerous
children there are number that are old
and large enough to earn a living for
the other members until they become

THAT COURT HOUSE.

AS another development to the Mer-
rill court house affair another iniunc-
ton has been served, this time on the
building committee of the county
board. The plaintiffs are those who
issued the first Injunction, H. W.
Wright and A H. STANCE. The papers
were issued by Judge SilverthOrn and
the order restraints the committee from
letting the contract for the erection of
the proposed new court house building.
The committee is cited to appear in this
city on February 18th, and show cause
why the order should not be made per-
manent. Petitioners allege IRREGULAR
ties in the meeting of the county board
and that no tax levy had been made
for the purpose.
When the lawyers appeared yester-
day before Judge Silverthorn to argue
the first injunction it was asked that a
postponement be taken to Feb. 9th,
which was granted.
A special meeting of the county
board of Lincoln county will be held on
Feb. LIST for the purpose of providing
for the building of a court house; to
provide for the issuance of bonds or
tax levy; to take action on former
resolutions and actions of the board,
and to do any and all business neces-
sary for the providing of funds and
erection of a new court house. Thus
the war goes merrily on and it remains
for the Merrill papers to take sides on
the question.
