4 STRONG LETTER TO OR. HALL.

Stevenson. Ala, June 6, 1901. Dear Sir: have been great sufferer from bladder trouble for two years and my case was of a very serious nature compelling me to have several painful and dangerous operations I have also taken many different remedies; I taken Swamp Root three years. Warmers Sale cure two years, and they only gave temporary relief.
 After having two operations and pre- pairing for the third. I saw your Texas Wonder advertised, and purchased a bot tie. And I got almost immediate relief, and have continued to improve every since.
 My doctors said my bladder had grow ed together in three places, and was suffering almost death. No man living can say more than I can say for your Texas Wonder. And I call it Worlds Wonder and I hope all who suffers will give a trial
 Wishing you success, I am,
 Yours Truly,
 W. c. DANIEL, Sold by all druggists. P. o. Box 62s. St. Louis Mo,

Expensive Apples

On Saturday morning at about half
past eleven o'clock, George, the ten
years old son of w. H. Crossley, fell
from an apple tree on the Sloan lot
now owned by E. 8. Tustin, and broke
his left leg midway between the knee
and hip, and one of the bones of his
left wrist. He fell about fifteen feet.
Miss Angie Wireman who resides at
w. S. Rishton's reached him first, and
the neighbors at once gathered to
render any possible assistance. Drs.
Bierman and Bruner were summoned
and the limbs were bound up tenn
porarily, and a cot was provided on
which the boy was taken home by one
of Sharpless Co.'S. delivery wagons
which happened to BE- passing. His
parents reside on Fourth street below
West. Mr.. Crossley is not at home.
DIR. Willis, the family physician, was
summoned by Mrs. Crossley, and he
reports the boy as getting along COM
fortably. 1t will be about six weeks
before the boy will be able to walk.
Boys cannot lie taught TO keep out of
trees. In this case they were not very
good apples, and it was somebody
else's apple tree.

A SERIOUS FALL.

Mrs. John Gross was the victim of
a most unfortunate accident Saturday
afternoon. She was coming down the
steps leading from the third to the
second story of that portion of what is
known as the Exchange Block, where
they reside, when in some manner or
other she slipped and plunged down
to the second story. Her husband
realizing that she was critically in
jured sent for Drs. Redeker and Pur-
man. They arrived in few minutes
and found her suffering intensely.
The examination disclosed that both
knee caps had been broken in the fall
and the left thigh bone fractured.
Other parts of her body were also
slightly injured.

Open Cars Are Inconvenlent.

Many people are wondering why
the Electric Railway don't place some
open cars on the line. There is per-
haps more real pleasure to be derived
from riding in an open car but they
are not without their disadvantages.
The way open cars are constructed
now, without any middle isle, they are
decidedly annoying to employees.
Conductors have to crawl along the
outside steps to collect fares, and are
exposed to all kinds Of weather. After
careful consideration, there can be
very little argument advanced in favor
of the open cars.

A STREET CASUALTY.
J. L. Girton Falls Dead While on His Way
Home.

The announcement of the death of
]. l.. Girton, which occurred about
half past ten Tuesday morning, came
as a shock to this community, and a
great many people could scarcely be-
lieve the report as he had only a few
moments before been in conversation
with some friends at the Exchange Ho-
tel and Geo. A. McKelvy's drug store.
At the latter place he complained of a
severe pain in his left side, and left
saying that he would go home and
rest awhile. He had reached the
southwest corner of Third and Center
streets, just two doors above his resi-.
dence, when he fell over and expired.
The deceased has been a life long
resident of Bloomsburg. He was born
here in October 1885. For many
years he conducted bus line from
Rupert to Bloomsburg. He then
engaged in the restaurant business
which he followed until he became the
proprietor of the St. Elmo Hotel. He
sold out in 1898 to H. F. Dietterich,
the present proprietor. Shortly after
the completion of the river bridge at
East Bloomsburg he established bus
line, and conveyed passengers to and
from trains on the Pennsylvania rail-
road. He subsequently disposed of
this to Bruce Kelchner, since which
time he has not been engaged in any
active pursuit. He was the local rep
resentative Of the'Soclety for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals.
Since the death OF his wife, about
eight months ago, he and an adopt
ed son, Edward (Flnk), have been
living in house just off OF Center
street. Another adopted son, Charles,
is a member of the United States
Army, and is at present in the Philip
pines. Two brothers, Frank M. Girton,
who resides at Plymouth, and Dallas
Girton, resident of Silverton, COL,
survive. The funeral will take place
from his late residence this afternoon.

There has been an unprecedented
increase in the price of potatoes in
the wholesale market. 1t jumped
from 10 cents a bushel to $I.Io in
less than week. Ordinarily, at this
season of the year, the tubers can be
had in abundance for IS cents peck,
but the price now is considerably in
advance of these figures. Reports
from other potato producing states
indicate that rains came too late to
save the crop, SO that the drought
appears to have been quite general.

THE CANNING FACTORY.

The canning factory people have
experienced some annoying delays by
the non arrival of some OF their ma
chlnery. Much of it is here, but
some of the pieces that are the most
needed have failed to come. The
tomato steamer is here, and with 1t a
ton of tomatoes can be steamed in
four minutes. The vegetable boilers,

BILE Of doing the work of six men, ard
several other machines are on hand,
but cannot be set up until the other
apparatus arrives. When in complete
running order this plant expects to
employ a hundred hands or more, and
the experience of similar factories is
that they pay a good return on the
investment. This industry will prove
of great Importance to farmers and
others engaged in raising garden pro-
duce, as it will make market for all
the surplus vegetables and fruits.

By recent law tuition has been
made free at State normal schools.
DR.. J. P. Welsh, principal of Blooms
burg Normal, is sending out letters to
old graduates and friends informing
them of this and appealing to all who
want an education to grasp this oppor-

the Bloomsburg Normal is the only
one in the country at which students
enter the dining room at their leisure
and order their meals from printed

taste. The cost to boarders at nor

l5,492 FARES.

Since the opening OF the trolley
line, which occurred Wednesday of
last week, the registers of the differ
ent cars show that I5,49a fares have
been collected. We cannot say Just
how many passengers have been car
ried during that time, and the number
of fares collected does not form any
basis for an estimate For instance,
a great many people, in fact, the ma
jority of them have ridden over the
entire route from Bloomsbury to Lime
Ridge, and return, from each one Of
which four fares were collected. Some
only went as far as Espy, paying two
fares, so that it is utterly impossible to
make an approximate estimate as to
the actual number Of people carried

took fright at some object in the road
above Lime Ridge Monday morning,
and ran away. The driver was hurled

tanning several painful contuslons. He
was removed to the home of his
parents, who reside in Center town

ploy of Scanlon & Co., and engaged
at hauling the workmen on the cleo

MORE TROLLEYS.

Our Lightstreet correspondent says
that the right of way for trolley line
through that village was seeking sig.
natures there last week. 1t is rumor-
ed that releases have been secured
most of the way from here to Orange
vile by the Columbia & Montour Co.
and that an ordinance for a trolley
line through Orangeville is now before
the council of that borough, who will
act upon it on Friday evening.
A charter has been granted for a
road from Bloomsbury to Millville,
and another one has been secured
from Berwick to Nanticoke by Blooms
burg parties. The latter one is in
tended to connect with the Wilkes
Barre system, and will make con-
tinuous line from here to the Wyom-
ing valley region.
On Tuesday charter was granted
to the Bloomsburg & Benton Electric
Railway Co., with capital of SI2o,-
900. This line is to cover several
streets of Bloomsburg, and will pass
through Lightstreet, Orangevllle, Still
water, and terminate at Benton. The
officers of this company are: w. S.
Meyer, President; Grant Herring, L.
N. Meyer, w. H. Henrie, J. c. Rut-
ter Jr. and c. B. Lutz, Directors.
The indications are that there is
going to be some activity in the troll
ley business, in this county. Let them
come. The more the merrler.
