A GREAT SHOW.
Two Immense Audiences Witness the Finest
Amusement Enterprise that Ever
Visited Bloomsbury.

A little more than two weeks ago
when the advance advertising
brigade of the great B. +. Wallace
Show posted the bills announcing
the coming Of the circus and menag-
erie few people had any idea that
it was the stupendous gigantic affair
that it really is. Bloomsbury has
been visited in past seasons by
numerous shows, including Barnum
and Forepaugh, but this was posi-
lively the finest that has ever come
our way.
The train of twenty.seven cars
arrived over the D. l.. & w. Rail-
road about six O'Clock Tuesday
morning having came from William
sport by way of Northumberland.
A good sized crowd had gathered,
all eager to watch the process of
unloading the animals, which is
always a feature of a circus. 1t is
interesting, not only to the urchin,
but to the average human being. 1t
appeals quite as strongly to the
adult as to the juvenile. The first
feature that impressed the spectators
was the fine horses. There was
large number OF them and if there
was one that was not well groomed,
fat and sleek, it was not taken from
the train.
The outfit Of the Wallace Show
is noted throughout the circus world
for its always neat condition, and
particularly at this time when winter
quarters are less than a month be-
hind, the wagons and all sorts Of
paraphernalia are exceptionally
gorgeous and striking. There was
small army Of men at work dur
ing the unloading process, but those
who remained to see this work did
not realize that another army was
at work on the lot in putting the
acres of canvass together and
arranging for the performances.
The parade left the show ground
precisely at 1920 and traversed the
principal streets. The pageant was
nearly mile in length and was SO
neat and clean that it could have
been driven through parlor. A
glance at the passing exhibition
demonstrated the pride taken in the
equipment.
AT one O. clock when the window
in the ticket wagon was elevated
for the sale Of seats, the rush was
fierce. Hundreds Of hands con-
tanning the admission price were
showed out toward the ticket seller,
but everyone had to await their

The Pennsylvania Canal to be Utilized for
the Sale OF Water Power.

In speaking Of the bill, signed by
Governor Stone last week, which
gives the railroad companies the priv
ilege to sell water from the canals in
their control for private, domestic, or
other purposes, the Harrisburg cores
pondent to the Philadelphia North
AM<Siean says:
"The act is general in its character, and
applies to every canal in the State, but it
particularly affects the Pennsylvania Canal,
owned by the Pennsylvania Canal Company.
The canal has recently been abandoned from
Loyalsock to Columbia, stretch Of la
miles, and in order that the Company may
utilize its water rights it was necessary to Sc
cure The passage of this bill.
The Company expects to supply water
power to manufacturing estal lishments and
other industries at Harrisburg, Nanticoke,
Sunbury and other points along the line, in
the vicinity Of its dams in the Susquekanna
river. Many industries at Bloomsburg, Cat
awissa and other points, from Northumber-
land to Wilkes Barre, will now get their water
power from the Company.
The oed of the canal at certain places will
be eventually filled up and covered with rail-
road tracks, and along certain other sections
the towpaths will be utilized for this purpose
Under the Stineman bill the Company is not
required t. maintain the bridges across the
canal
The Railroad Company expects to fill up
the old basin at the terminus Of the canal at
Columbia and lay tracks to increase its yard
facilities The canal parallels the railroad
from Harrisburg TO Columbia, and the
ground it occupies can be utilized by the rall.
road at very small cost From Clark's
Ferry to Sunbury the canal is on The oppo-
site side of the river from the railroad, while
from Snnbury TO Muncy, and from Sunbury
to Nantcoke it runs along the tracks.
BY signing the Stineman canal grab bill
Governor Stone has encouraged the promot-
ers Of the Erie land grab scheme 10 redouble
their efforts to force II through the House.
They are confident The Governor will approve
the bill, II given a chance, in the face OF the
precedent set for him by Governor Hastings
in vetoing similar measure in 1897"
The bill has passed the Senate and
its position on the House calendar
will proba bly, bring it up this week.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1901-05-23

We have learned quite recently
of the entertainment given at
Orangeville on Memorial Day last
year. Should tie good people of
that borough desire the services
OF a good, active committee, they
can probably get some Wilkes
Barre gentlemen to act in that
capacity. Mr.. Frank Ricketts, can
furnish their addresses. If they
want to engage the Light Street
band they must speak in time.

latter were marvellous. The tricks
performed by them defy the laws OF

The attendance in the evening
was not quite so large as the after
noon, but it was estimated at about
FIVE thousand.

Brain-Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori-
ties. They have dispelled the silly notion
that some kind of food is needed for brain,
another for muscles, and still another for
bones. A correct diet will not only nour-
ish particular part of the body, but it
will sustain every other part Yet, how
ever good your food may be. its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion or dys-
pepsia. You must prepare for their ap-
pearance or prevent their coming by
taking regular doses of Green's August
Flower, the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids diges-
ton, stimulates the liver to healthy action,
pnrifies the blood, and makes you feel
buoyant and vigorous You can get DR..

There is more catarrh i'll this section oil

supposed to be incurable. For a great

catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treat

A gigantic railroad corporation, with
capital of $500, ooo, ooo was incorporated
at Trenton, N. J., OH Wednesday, to con
solidate seven lines of northwestern rail-
roads, having an aggregate mileage OF
47,372, and representing capital stocks OF
$I,o42, S37, 1855. The new corporation Is
the Northern Security Company, and 1t Is
the outcome of the negotiations for the
settlement of the Northern Pacific war
There is something radically wrong
with a system of government which per-
mits the incorporation of such gigantic
concerns, with almost unlimited powers,

rights. To what lengths will such cor

That Rabbit Story Again.

Apropos to the Sampson Schley Court
of Inquiry which has occupied the atten-
ton of the public for the past month and
more, the Kentucky Journal republishes
the following famous story:
"Since the Sampson Schley contro-
versy has grown acute again, there hes
been considerable reference to Proctor
Knott's rabbit story in connection with
the credit for the victory at Santiago. 1t
is here reproduced Mr. Proctor Knott
and John Yerkes were discussing the
claims of Sampson and Schley to the
credit of smashing Cervera at Santiago
Mr.. Yerkes took the ground that all the
honor of that memorable conflict belong
ed to Admiral Sampson and was inclined
to entirely ignore Commodore Schley's
part in the affair. The governor listened
until his companion had finished, and
then with that characteristic twinkle in
his eve, he said MY dear sir it is ex-
ceedingly gratifying for me TO hear you
take the position you have i'll the matter.
1t is like balm to my conscience and

Fire at Berlin.

The town of Berlin, Worcester
county, Nd, suffered heavy loss
by fire and had II narrow escape
from total destruction early Tues
day morning.
Odd Fellows Hall, the Southern
Methodist Church, two banks, two
livery stables, several fine private
residences, and several smaller ones
were burned before the flames were
checked. The damage will exceed
$4,000.
The blaze started in the residence
of Emory E. Bell, at the southern
edge of the business region of the
town. A high wind was blowing
at the time which spread the flames
with great rapidity.
Berlin has no fire apparatus OF
any sort. Men and women did
what they could against the march
of the fire with an insufficient
supply of water moved in buckets.
1t was finally checked by covering
houses in its path with wet blank
cts. Even then the flames over
leaped one of these houses and
burned the building beyond.
Berlin has been visited by diSas-
trous CONGREGATIONS twice pre-
viously, on March II, 1895, and
August 4 of the same year. The
fire on August 4 swept over about
eight acres of territory in the heart
of the town and destroyed pretty
nearly all the business houses in
the place. More than go buildings
were destroyed, and the total loss
was upward of $4,000.
