A JOYOUS NEW
YEAR.
(Goodwin's Weekly J

The New Year is close upon us. Its
coming has been hailed with joyous ae-
claims since before history or even
tradition was born The first record
speaks Of it as day of festivities and as
though it always had been such day.
The shortest day, the longest night of
the winter have passed. The lengthen-
ing daylight is notice that the sun has
started on its return, and it carries with
il the promise of spring blooms and the
fruition of another harvest. The day
brings varied emotions. To the young
the memories of the year Just closed are
all joyous and hope pants new delight
and new triumphs for the year to come
on the mind. There are homes where
there are fresh tears over the spectacle
OF an empty chair, there are other homes
where the coo OF baby that the old year
brought, fills the house with music.
Echoes of marriage bells that we're last
year ruug still beat with perfect ryhthm
on the ears of young wives, and expect
ant brides are almost sure that they al
ready hear their melody.
There have been fortunes made and
lost 10 the year just closed; men have re-
deemed their tarnished names, other men
have lost their good names in the year
just passed. Our country has maintain
ed its high place among the nations;
never was the world outside go much
awed by its prestige and power as now.
And it has been greatly blessed. The
harvests were wonderful in their magni-
tude and quality. the wheels of industry
are everywhere rolling with ever-increas-
ing clamors; even the strikes that arc
distracting the public mind are strong
evidences of prosperity, for in times OF
depression there are no strikes. The
mineral harvest has likewise been ample
This is fast becoming metallic age
the age of iron and Of gold; there is a
metallic ring in all things from the run

Redeeming War Stamps.

Since the repeal of the war taxes
the treasury department has had a
large force constantly employed in
counting and preparing for redemption
and destruction the various classes of
adhesive stamps required under the
law which imposes the war taxes.
The stamp division has just COM
pleted the counting and cancellation
of the largest claim Tor redemption
ever presented. 1t contained over
$4,000 worth of cent stamps and
weighed several tons. Twenty per.
sons were occupied thirty days IN
counting the stamps. Many packages
of greater value than this have been
received at the treasury, but none of
such great weight.
1t is said that more than 90 per
cent. of the war revenue stamps have
been redeemed.

Court convened OH Monday at ten
o'clock with all the judges present..
The most important business Of
the session was an injunction case,
the parties being w. c. Richart of
Bloomsbury and William Krum Of
Montour township, The facts as
brought out are that Richart leased
from Isaiah Hagenbuch, lane
along the eastern side of his farm
in Montour township and leading
from the public road to switch OH
the Philadelphia & Reading Rail-
road. The defendant Krum, who
for some time past has been burn
ing lime on the David Mauser
property, has been using the lane
to ship the lime away. Richart by
reason of his lease claimed the ex-
elusive use of the lane and notified
Krum to cease hauling. Krum re-
fused to obey the order, hence the
proceedings. The case occupied
the entire Monday session. The
argument took place on Tuesday,

counsel in the case were 7. J. Van

The Law Against Fishing on Sunday.

A well known lawyer gives the fol-
lowing opinion in regard to the fish
ing law. THE legislator who drafted
the new fishing law, evidently forgot
all about Sunday fishing, or perhaps
assumed that it was understood that
no law abiding citizen would fish on
Sunday, for he left out all reference
to 1t. This law also repealed the old
law providing for fine for Sunday
fishing, and SO far as Can see per-
sons who so desire can fish all they
want to on the Sabbath without fear
of arrest"
Game Warden Malloy of Hazleton
says: "The new fishing law is silent
on the matter of prohibiting fishing
on Sunday. My attention was called
to this some time ago, and l wrote
to the commissioner about it and he
replied that he could not give me
DECISION"
"Then you would rot undertake
to arrest any person for fishing on
Sunday ?" he was asked.
"No," he replied, q would not
care to take the risk Of taking such
person before justice of the peace.
| would arrest anyone for hunting on
Sunday, but SO far as / can judge l
cannot legally do so for Sunday fish
ing"

Resolutions of Respect.

Bloomsburg, Pa, April a5th 1905
At meeting of the propretors and
employees of Meyer Bros. held this
afternoon the following resolutions
were read and adopted:
Whereas, 1t has pleased Almighty
God in His wise providence to remove
suddenly by death our fellow employe
and co-'aborer, Paul |. Traub.
Whereas, In the death of Paul we
have lost genial. obliging, courteous
and respected fellow employe and
dear friend, and his family a son and
brother.
Resolved, That to the bereaved father
and mother and brothers we would
extend our heartfelt sympathy in this
their hour of darkness and sorrow,
but fully recognizing how inadequate
is human sympathy TO soothe the sch.
ing and wounded heart, we would
affectionately commend them to Him
who is ever willing to wipe the falling
tear from the eye of the mourner and
to soothe the spirit into submission 10
the righteous will of Him who chastises
in mercy, who wounds to heal.
Therefore be it further
Resolved, That in respect and
esteem of our friend Paul, the store be
closed at the hour of the funeral and
all the employees attend in a body.
Resolved, That copy of these re-
solutions be sent to the family OF our
deceased fellow worker and also be
published in the town papers.
