to delay the market.

beginning that the life and tone of yester-

good many cases the market looked lower

from start to finish and the day was Well
advanced before anything like a clearance

The cow trade was in just about the same
condition as the market on steers. Buyers
were slow about starting out and I'm most
cases their bids were lower. Some uf the
best kinds that just suited them held Just
about steady, but as a general thing all
of the gain OF yesterday was lost. Sellers
were not willing to make the concessions
asked and as a result trading was very
slow.
Bulls, veal calves and stays all felt the
effect of the eakne to some extent on
steers and cows.
The supply of stockers and feeders was
again very light, so that the demand was
able to take what was offered at steady
prices. Spectators claimed they all
wanted strictly good cattle and that they
would be willing to pay strong prices in
order to get them, but practically all the

TIE FACTS IN THE CASE.

lust before the opening OF the
Mock Trial at the Opera House last
Friday evening, it was announced
that DR.. Aldlnger had sent word only
few moments before, that he would
not be present to take part in the
trial. This of itself would have re-
quired no explanation or comment,
but for the statement in the Daily on
Saturday that this announcement was
received by he audience 7oiM disgust
That there was any disgust shown by
the audience is untrue, and the state
ment was unnecessary even if it had
been true. There were many people
present who know DR.. Aldinger too
we'll to telleve that he would, with
out cause or reason, abandon his part
at the last moment. He has on many
occasions shown his willingness to as
sst in entertainments for charitable or
public purposes, and his general char
acter and reputation will bear us out
in the statement that he is not a man
who is influenced by the whims OF a
moment, or who would do what might
have the appearance of mean act.
DR.. Aldinger has asked for no vim
dicltion. He did not feel that ne
had done anything that required him
to make a defense to this charge,
even though he had declined to stand
as the defendant in the rooster case.
Feeling that an injustice had been
done DR.. Aldinger we asked him for
his statement OF the facts and he in
forms us that he never agreed to take
part in the mock trial, but had posi-
lively stated a month ago that he
would not do so. On Friday, the night
of the show, he was called by tele-
phone to the Opera House at 6 p. m,
after the rehearsal had taken
place, and he then informed Col
Newton that he had an engage
ment tor the evening and coult
not be present there unless he coulo
change his arrangements. Finding
this impossible he sent word by mes
senger that he would not be there
and Col. Newton replied that if h'
'sdidn't come an announcement woule
be made to the audiencs that wouldn'
do him (Aldinger) any good" Mr.
Ikeler, not knowing of the converse
ton between DR.. Aldinger and Col
Newton, was given to understand tha
the former had promised to be there
and then failed to appear, and witt
this understanding he made the an
nouncement, very naturally feelln
somewhat annoyed.
1t is unfortunate that anythin
should have occurred to mar tn
pleasure of the occasion, and we fet
sure that this presentation OF DR.. A
dinger's side of the case is all that
necessary to show the public that h
deserved no censure for his action
the matter,
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1902-01-30
REV. ]. ]. MUNhO'S LECTURE.

DR.. Welsh was not to blame. He
took the word of the Lecture Bureau
for it, and got taxed. The bureau
that manages Munro ought to go out
of the business. If 1t manages Munro
a little while, it probably will 60 out
of business. A more fatigued audi
ence probably never sat in the Audi
torium. Up to Monday night Ernest
Seton Thompson held the belt for
being the poorest lecturer ever heard
here. Now it is different. Munro
has been here. His so-called lecture
was very poor sermon, poorly de-
livered. He didn't know it, and
could scarcely read it from his man
uscript, though the stage was rather
dark, as lecturer and not reader,
was expected. AS we said before,
don't blame the management. Mr..
Munro was highly recommended by
what was believed to be reliable
authority, and he cost the course just
as much as a real lecturer could have
been procured for. No one regret:
the mistake more than the managers
of the Students Lecture Course.

CANNING FACTORIES.

Last year and for several years
past, number of canning factories
were organized. The one which was
started here in the match factory
property, is advertised at Sheriff's
sale. 1t never got started, but died
a-bornin'." 1t is not the only one,
however, that did not succeed. The
following is taken from the Tunk-
hammock Democrat
"Our canning factory here is likely
to "go to the wall" because of the
