The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1902-07-31

One of our exchanges, the Wyo-
ming Democrat, gives out the follow
ing excellent advice in regard TO the
dog nuisance. This is the season
of the year when, as rule. in town,
it is most difficult to get the amount
of rest that one really needs, when
windows are open at night to admit
air, and thus brings noises OF all kinds
from the streets and various sources
to the bedroom, inducing nervousness
aud wakefulness. 1t is such times
that dogs are the most noisy, and
keep up barking, bowling and dis
turbance upon the slightest provoca-
ton, or upon seeing their SHADOW IN
the moon. These barking, bowling
ours keep up their din for hours.
They never annoy their owners. 1t
is blissfu music and comfort to them,
but their neighbours rest is broken,
slumbers disturbed and nerves racked
with his good neighbours cats and
dogs.
But it is not that form of nuisance
that we would write in particular, but
the cur that roams around and of
which the papers daily record attacks
and injuries to children and older
persons. Dogs at any time are ami
mails likely to cause more or less trou-
BILE, and this is particularly true IN the
summer, when heat tends to rabies,
and whether or not rabbies is develo-
ped, makes the animal irritable and
often dangerous. While dogs are
generally disposed to be doclle and
rarely show viciousness except under
provocation, why should they be
allowed to run at large? Why should
they be left to roam at will? Other
animals are not allowed to tear at
will through the streets, and over
other peoples property. If dogs
were not left loose there would be no
dog scares, and it will be out of the
ordinary if we shall not hear of good
many cases of alleged rabies during
the next few weeks. And it is well
to announce to the public that the
physicians IN charge OF the Pasteu'
institutes IN the big cities urge peo-
pie not to kill dogs suspected OF hav
| ing the rabies. They point out the
fact that with hydrophobia dog can
live but a day or two at the most and
that when death ensues the presence
of the disease can be proved or dis
proved instantly and beyond doubt
On the other hand, killing dog
makes necessary the inoculation OF a
rabbit, which may not develop rabble:
for weeks, the condition ofth- patient
being in doubt during the period o
delay. An ounce OF prevention Il
worth a pound OF cure, and although
the dog may moi relish having hi
roaming propensities curbed, yet th'
owner of cur should be obliged t.
keep it within his property bounds.

of Hugh Wynne" and Circumstance" in a

Marie Van Norst's work is compelling at
tenton Just now. Her story, "Angelo Of
the Perfection" promises to deepen this
interest by its strength and pathos, "The
Governors Choice" by Joseph A. Altsheler,
is story of love in politics where honesty
receives a tenfold reward. Caroline Lock

writes about her summer in the Rocky
Mountains. The title is ga Girl in the
Rockies" "The Final Propositions" by
Cyrus Townsend Brady, is, TO quote the
author, "the best short story | have yet

4 Professional Opinion.

From the Philadelphia Times:
A former judge now practicing law
became interested when told by his fav-
orite barber that the latter wanted to
study with a view to admission to the
bar. The lawyer encouraged him in
every way possible, lending him books
and giving him an informal lesson
while being shaved each morning. Soon
the barber began putting hypothetical
cases to his patron, who gravely sound
ly and painstakingly gave information
as to correct procedure. After time

fellow was acting as cut rate attorney

by following his advice. The following
morning the barber opened up by pur-
ting what he described as an imaginary
bit of ligitation to the lather-covered
lawyer, and then asked:
Now judge, what do you advice?"
"Let-me-see, replied the lawyer,

From the Ohio State Journal:
The relic room of the statehouse has
been enriched by the addition ia
piece Of the first flag pole ever raised
in the United States in honor Of Abra-
hma Lincoln. The pole was Of white
oak and was raised at Decatur, Ill.
April %, 1860. 1t was 80 feet in height,
three feet in diameter at the base and
stood for many years after the assas-
sination of the martyr President.
It was preserved as one of the great
est treasures Of the town and on Mem
orial day of the present year the Grand
Army posts Of Decatur held a great
celebration. Tt was decided to cut up
the historic pole and to distribute pieces
of it among various posts and historical
societies. There was an immence crowd
in the Illinois town, excursions being
run from all parts of the state. The
pole was separated intos small pieces
and one Of them was given to Lieuten-
ant ]. M. Worrell, confederate veteran
who was guest of the Decatur post.
Lieutenant Worrell was member Of
Garnett's brigade, Pickett's division.
Longstreet's corps Of the army Of Vir-
ginia. He has been making his home In
Columbus for some time and Thursday
he decided to pres snt his piece il the
old pole to the relic room of the state
house. He gave it to Captain Stryon,
who will have it suitably mounted and
it will be placed with the other treas
ures of the state. The piece is about
one foot long and four inches square.

At Beach Creek, N. c., in 1862

At Beach Creek, N. c., in 1862,
Lieutenant Worrell, in command of a
detachment of confederates, captured
Captain Styron and his entire company.
It was discovered that fifty seven mem
bers Of the company was deserters from
the Southern army and all were hanged
by orders of Lieutenant Worrell. It
was not until long years after that
Captain Stvron met Lieutenant Worrell
in Columbus.
The Lieutenant is a quick-spoken
Southerner and thereby hangs good
story. Several weeks ago, two promin-
ent Democrats Of Columbus were walk

lieutenant and No. introduced Dem

thing is now certain. that this peculiar
variety Of palm is Indigenous to the
Pacific island mentioned by Cambren-
sis, Outside of that of Baudiern, there
is no record Of any specimen of the
plant growing in other parts of the
world e.
The number of palms in the island
to which it is native is very small
and, for a number of reasons, there is
little likelihood Of there ever being any
material increase. The questions OF
altitude and climate conditions make
it extremely improbable that the palm
can ever be successfully grown any
where other than in it's little islano
home. A few feet higher or lower in it's
relation to sea level determines against
necessity. Only by the most patient
and persistent experimenting have
something like the conditions necessary
to- the preservation of the palm been
procured These conditions, however,
can only approximate the natural state
in which this rare exotic thrives, and,
therefore, despite all arduous care that
is being given and painstaking efforts
that are being put forth by the agri-
cultural people, it is feared that this
strange, hypnotic, almost uncanny
wayfarer from the far-off Pacific isles
must droop and die.

A New Invention.

From the Ohio State Journal
Frank Wells, a machinist, and an
other workman, both Of Columbus,
have invented device for refining oils.
The Standard Oil company has offered
zone million dollars for the exclusive use
Of the patent, and the offer has been
declined.
Mr.. Wells is experimenting in the
use Of oils and has long thought that
in the refinem ent of the crude product
much valuable material was lost. BY
his method only avery small per cent
of the crude material is wasted, and
most of that previously Of no use is re-
i claimed.
Z The. process is simple 1t consists of
system Of rectors In which the oil
is placed and subjected to great heat.
The oil which results is good for al
most all commercial purposes and of a
much finer grade than any yet pro-
duced. The heat used is derived from
steam and not directly from fuel, and
thus takes away any chance Of an ex-
plosion.

A self-supporting daughter is lux

boring seats In a Harlem express. II
appeared that these two men were
classmates thirty years before, and
since then were alumni in good and

been a cause for no little sentimental
satisfaction that their two daughters
should be classmates, and, like their
fathers before them should obtain the
good old B. A. But now, on meeting.
the parents found that the experiences
and adventures Of their daughters first
year of alumniship provided flood for
thought The daughter Of the one
had enlisted in some charitable enter
prise which supplied the workers with
board and lodging, with the result that
by midwinter she had broken down
physically, and was even yet recuper-
ating under the auspices OF famous
sanitarium. The daughter of the other,
having secured a position as teacher,
had invested her entire year salary in
q sealskin jacket, and then, nnder the
impression that shefwas model finan-
cier, had appealed to her father for
other incidentals Of human natures
