MEET in TOPEKA.
VIII Be Held at Washburn on
May %.

A temporary agreement to last for
one year was agreed upon by repre-
~sentatives from Washburn college,
Baker university, College of Emporia
and Ottawa university who met Mon
day afternoon in the interests of hold
ing an intercollegiate track meet.
The agreement was entered into as
a tentative association. 1t is expected
that by next spring the agreement will
be made permanent and embodied into
an organization with a constitution,
bylaws and the other necessary ct
ceteras. From the expression at the
meeting yesterday it is evidently the
intention not to take in any other col
leges.
Washburn had no difficulty in Sc
curing the meet for Topeka, all of the
representatives agreeing that Topeka
is a more favorable center.
The date of the meet was not def
nitely decided upon but in all prob
ability it will be set for the 9th Of
May. The date is contingent upon the
success of the Baker and Ottawa dele
cations in securing special train service
on Sunday from Lawrence over the
Ottawa branch. Should it be impos-
sibIe to secure enough passengers to
insure securing the special train the
meet will be held on the 25th.

Holiday Shopping.

Gentle reminders are being given
by the merchants of Bloomsbury to
customers not to delay in TIE work
Of holiday shopping. Indeed it is
not too early to talk about the ad-
visibility of doing Christmas shop
ping early. By so doing much
trouble will be avoided to both the
storekeepers, their employees and
the public.
Fully nine-tenths of the presents
you want for Christmas are in the
stores now. You can find every
thing your heart desires for holiday
purposes OH the counters and on
the shelves.
You can find competent aud cour-
teous clerks who are not too busy
to wait on you. You can shop
quietly and calmly, which is good
for the nerves of all concerned.
Then there is another item. 1t
is. often easier to purchase S. worth
of Christmas goods week for three
weeks, than it is to save the money
for splurge in single shopping
tour.
Good advice may be wasted on
some folks, but there are enough
people who desire to avoid shopping
trials, and who are grateful when
their memories are logged, to make
it worth while to call their attention
to the fact that Christmas buying
when done in a rush is hard work.
The stores of Bloomsbury are full
of fine display of goods, and if you
want good selection, take this ad-
vice and go early.
With a shopping list carefully
made out, and following the sug-
gestions of the advertisements in
the COLUMBIAN, Christmas shop
ping may be made delight instead
of the bore it oftimes is.

The Same Wrong in Pennsylvania.

Thomas c. Platt's s admission that
;ome of the life insurance compan-
es had paid large sums to him for
the Republican campaign fund
with the idea that he would exert
1is influence in their favor with
The Legislature Of New York, has
caused a general denunciation OF
The New York Senator. While
his is we'll deserved, it is we'll for
he people of Pennsylvania to recol-
tect that the same state of affairs
aas long existed in their own Com
nonwealth The senatorial bosses
Of Pennsylvania have tor many
years received immense SUMS from
he big corporations to be used for
campaign and other purposes, the
payment of which was made solely
with the idea of securing the in
1uence of the bosses with the mem
,ers of the Legislature. AS re-
,ul, the big corporations of Pennsyl-
vania have practically dictated leg
islation. The state of affairs will
continue until the people of the
state elect a Legislature controlled
" them, and not by the bosses.-

BIG BEAR IN SULLIVAN

A big black bear attacked party
of five hunters in the woods of Sui
livan county Wednesday afternoon
and badly injured Hugh Burns, of
Larksville, near Wilkes Barre.
The hunters were taken by sur-
prise. Burns was knocked over in
the rush and the bear seized him,
rolling over and over with him,
biting, scratching and hugging.
Burns friends, Thomas LOTUS,
John Fogarty, Peter Blaine and
Henry Reidler, rushed bravely 10
his aid, but their guns were loaded
only with bird shot, and it was
difficult to shoot owing to fear of
hitting Burns, and they fired only
when they could press the muzzle
of their guns against the bear S
side. 1t took ten of these shots to
kill the big animal, which weighed
42S pounds.

TO CHANGE INAUGURATION.

The last Thursday Of April was
decided upon at the meeting of the
National Commission on the pro-
posed change OF Inauguration day
as the day to recommend to Con-
gress for future Presidential inau-
gurations. 1t was decided that no
action should be taken on propos-
ing a new date ior the assembling
of Congress.
The committee having the matter
under consideration consists of fif-
teen residents of Washington and
the governors of the states and ter
ritories.
Governor Lea, of Delaware, was
the only state executive present,
though letters commerding a
change in the date of Inauguration
had been received from all the re-
naming states and territorial gov
ernors.
Attention was called to the fact
that the resolution Of the late Sena-
tor Hoar of Massachusetts, naming
the last Thursday in April as new
inauguration day, had passed the
Senate but had not come to vote
i'll the house. 1t was stated that
death of Senator Bates, Ambassador
Aspiroz and Judge Lawrence Wei
don were the result of exposure on
the last Inauguration day. The
committee vote in favor of the last
Thursday in April was unanimous.

February 18th.

The winter season for tuning
pianos is the most advantageous of
the year and extends from Novem-
Der until February. 1t is not ne

ants who has the patronage of the
most critical piano users throughout
the territory he covers, is meeting as
promptly as possible all the en-

AUTO AND HORSE
Judge Says that Animal that Cannot Be
Driven Past Machine Properly Man
aged Should &c Kept OF tho
Highway

IN setting aside a verdict of $50
given by a jury last summer at
Norristown Tor damages sustained
by collision between a team and
an automobile, Judge Weand says
in bis opinion:
'An owner of all automobile has
as much right to the highway as
the driver of a horse and carriage,
If horse cannot be driven past a
vehicle properly managed, the OWL
er should keep him off the high
way, or submit to the conse-
quences. He says that owing to
the hostility and feeling in the
country against the reckless use Of
automobiles the jury may have
been misled. In this case the
weight of evidence being in favor
of the defendant the verdict is set
aside and new trial granted.
