BEAUTIFUL NEW CHURCH
DEDICATED YESTERDAY
New Edifloe Costing 800 Put into
Service ut Fruita-AN
Ideal Dedication.

Costing about $500, elegantly
appointed and modern, beautifully
situated and admirably located, the
New Baptist church of Fruita was
dedicated to the service of God yes
terday.
Three services were held during
the day, one in the morning. one in
the afternoon and one in the even
ing. The dedication did not take place
until the evening service.
Rev. w. f. Ripley, state secretary,
of Pueblo. delivered the dedicatory
sermon. II was a powerful and i'm
pressive discourse. Rev. II. A. Mill
er. of the Baptist church of this city
assisted in the dedication. Rev. w.
ii. Cox, of Fruita. also took part. The
musical programs were fine and were
well rendered.
The attendance at the service was
very large indeed, the church be-
ing filled to overfowing in the even
ing.
Sufficient funds to liquidate all the
Indebtedness save $500 was raised.
The pretty church is constructed of
concrete blocks. The main building
is 32X50 feet The Sunday school
room 24Xt4 feet. The church is a
credit to the town of Fruita and to
the lower valley. The membership
of the new church has not yet called
a pastor but Will probably do so in
a few days.

MANY SOLDIER BOYS
PASS THROUGH CITY.
Magnificent Specimens of American
Manhood en- Route to the
Philippines.

Companies b. and d. of the 30th
Infantry, United States Army, pass
ed through Grand Junction this
morning en- route from Fort McCook,
Nebraska, where they have been To-
Gated for some time, to San Francisco
from which port they will sail for
the Philippines where they Will be
stationed for at least a year.
One of the companies went through
on the regular No. delayed many
hours, the second company passed
through the city on a second section
of No. at 1880. O'Clock.
The first detachment carried fine
band and entertainment was furnish
ed the crowds at the union depot
with martial music and popular airs.
The boys in blue" were only per
mitted bo stay over in this city but
a few minutes but they made the
most of their short stay.
The two companies must reach San
Francisco by noon on the Fourth and
be ready to sail on the morning of
July 5th.
Many people remarked this morn
ing that they never saw more gentle
manly acting or handsomer soldier
boys than those that made up Com
panies B and ID of the 30th infantry
They were all big, husky fellows.
Typical Americans in every sense
of the word and We wondered as we
looked upon them how long even
the plucky and nervy little JapS
would last before such stalwart, pat
riotic fearless, and home-loving
American boys. Japan may think
she wants to tackle Uncle Sam but
we believe one round with the boys
in blue will be sufficient to convince
the Flowery Kingdom that she was
thinking wrong"
Nearly all of the boys have been
on duty in the far away Islands be-
fore and seemed to contemplate with
pleasure a second visit.

EDWARD J. M0YER.

The body of Edward J. Meyer

residence of his brother on First
street. The funeral was held on
Wednesday afternoon, at two
O'Clock, the services being conduct
ed by Rev. J. l.. Byers, pastor of

and Harry Correll.
The deceased was a son of the
late Philip Meyer. He learned the
printers trade in the COLUMBIAN
office and later went to New York
and other cities, working il large
offices. Recently he had been to
Europe where he studied litho-
graphing. His death occurred in

den and unexpected. His age was
SO years, and he is survived by two
brothers, Valentine B. and George
L. of this town, and two sisters,

and Mrs. Sophia Bell of School
craft, Mich.

TO THE POLE WITH BEARS.

Captain Ronald Amundsen, Arc
tic explorer, arrived in New York
Tuesday on the steamship Oscar II,
and announced that he would make
an attempt to reach the North Pole
in 1910 with the aid of four big
Polar bears, which are being train
ed to haul sleds by an expert in
Hamburg.
Pe also said that he and his
friends expect to petition President
Roosevelt and the United States
Government to allow his vessel, the
Bjoa, in which he navigated the
Northern Pacific in 1904, to be the
first to pass through the Panama
Canal upon its completion. The
Bjoa formerly was a whaling ves-
sci, 74e tons, aud is now under
going repairs in the Mare Island
Navy Yards at San Francisco.
The explorer expects to make a
lecture tour of the country.
Probably this bear story is in
tended as an advertisement.

New Engine Fuel.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany is making tests of the fuel
patented by an Altoona man about
which much was recently said in
the newspapers. In one of these
tests comparison was made with
the work accomplished by fuel oil.
Fifty pounds of the patented fuel
were used for starting the fire and
back of this were 1865 pounds of
coal. This latter was fed gradually
on and in eleven minutes there
were three pounds of steam, while
in thirty-four minutes and twenty
seconds the steam guage marked
100 pounds. This record surpassed
the old way by twenty-four minutes
and saved almost 365 pounds of
coal. 1t is on the saving of coal
that the patentee makes one claim
for his fuel, but his chief claim is
that it is unsurpassed for quick
steaming purposes.

Race Suicide in the Middle Class.

multi-nillionaires, 4" writes Anna
Steese Richardson in an article on

November W0maR'S Home Conn.,
paniOA. why do they not investi-
gate the family conditions in the
great middle class, from which are
drawn Our most successful women
Here they will find the great source
of danger to the PRONUNCIATION of
the human race.
To-day it is the young women
and the mature women-of the
middle class who are turning their
backs on the home wherein lies
Americas hope of future greatness.
And for what? To exchange the
birthright of womauhood, wifehood
and motherhood for the mess of
pottage known as business career.
Therein lies the nations greatest

PLACE FOR MONUMENT.

1t has been suggested that Light
Street road at the Town Hall be
widened and Strengthened so as to
cut off the corner of the Hutton
lot, and thus improve the street
and make a good location in front
of the Hall for the proposed Sol
diers' Monument.
Market Square is unquestionably
the proper location for the monu-
ment, providing there is room for
it, and this depends upon the plan
that may be adopted. Here 1t
would be seen by all strangers COM
ing into town on the railroads. But
if the plan to be adopted should re-
quire so large base that the square
would be crowded, then the up
town location is entitled to second
choice. 1t is a question that is
worthy of consideration.

May Bring Coal Famine.

The extraordinary prosperity of
the United States may be the in
direct cause of coal famine in the
big cities of the east the coming
winter. On account of the steady
operation of mills and factories
throughout the country, the erec-
tion of new dwellings where moth
ing but anthracite is used for fuel
has kept the mines OF the hard coal
belt in operation without break
to supply the demand. The coal
companies have not been able to
store much coal during the summer
and they begin the fall with but
small stocks on hand. The scarcity
of labor has Handicapped the mines
and the drought has had an effect
on some of the collieries. The out
put of the mines has been greater
this summer than in any previous
year for the same time.

HOG CHOLERA.

Hog cholera has broken out in
several parts of the county. Sever
al of the drove of Io5 at the Briar-
creek Distillery have died and 9TH
ers are sick. There are other cases
at Martzvile and Lime Ridge.
DR.. J. ]. Mather, of Berwick has
been appointed by the State Board
to act for the board. Every pre-
caution is being taken to stay the
disease. If any owner of hogs in
the county sees symptoms of dis
ease among his stock he should no.
tify DR.. Mather who will make an
inspection, for which there will be
no charge, as the state pays the
bill.

NEW MEDALS OF HONOR.
Awarded 10 C. s. eurman and G. W. Mcars

BY act OF congress a new Tedal
was ordered TO be prepared for pre-
sentatiou to veterans of the civil
war who, for acts of special valor
had previously been awarded spec
ial medals OF honor. The old medal
was of bronze, and was a rather
cheap looking affair, and so Con-
gress, believing these brave men to
be entitled to something more at
tractive and worthy to commem-
crate their courageous acts, decid-
ed on a new one.
The new medal is Of gold, APP
pended to silk ribbon, and is very
handsome.
Among the men who had been
awarded these medals i'll 1897, were
Chester S. Furman and Geo. w.
Mears, of Bloomsbury. At the bat
tie of Gettysburg they were i'll a
squad which captured a party OF
sharpshooters. The official an
nouncement from the War Depart
m,nt, in awarding the medal says
"At Gettysburg Pa, July 2,
1868, this soldier was one OF six
volunteers who charged upon a log
house near the Devils Den, where
a squad OF the enemy's sharpshoot-
ers were sheltered, and compelled
their surrender. The prisoners,
numbering II or IS, were delivered
to the regiment. "
To say that these medals are
highly priced is unnecessary, They
are the marks of appreciation that
the government has shown for the
deeds of valor of brave men, and
these veterans are justly proud OF
their beautiful medals.

WHO ARE THEY ?

The Milton Standard of recent
date contained the following:
The Pennsylvania railroad is just
discovering that the ambulance
chaser" methods, so much in vogue
at Philadelphia, are equally popu-
lar along the Sunbury division. In
the city, whenever an ambulance
goes by some one generally follows
it, finds out who is hurt, and, if the
victim was struck by trolley car,
persuades him to bring suit against
the corporation for damages. This
method of procedure is especially
popular among lawyers of certain
class AS the injured man never
fails to get judgment in his favor,
the lawyer himself gets a rich haul
in the costs and his share of the
damages. Along the Sunbury di-
vision, in Columbia county, forest
land frequently catches fire by
sparks from the engines. 1t is said
that whenever smoke arises on the
lower side of the North Branch one
or more Bloomsbury lawyers walk
over the bridge to investigate the
fire and to persuade the owner to
bring suit against the company.
With continued success this prac-
tice is becoming quite popular, as
the damage cases now listed for
trial in the Columbia county courts
will attest.

DANVILLE OPERA HOUSE.

Danville. The new owners Will
make some necessary repairs and
open the house at once. Next year
it will be remodeled.
1t is one of the finest theatres in
the state outside of the cities, and
when put in shape again Blooms
burg people will no doubt patronize
it. as they can conveniently do by
trolley. Danville has always had
better plays than Bloomsbury ON
account of its bet ter accommoda-
tions.

A ROAD OPINION.

Superior Court Judge Porter re-
verses the lower court in the case
of Samuel Brader VS.. the township
of Lehman, Luzerne county. I'm
der the ruling of the Luzerne coun-
ty judge the jury awarded the
plaintiff a verdict of S84S. In re-
versing the Judgment Judge Porter
said:
The evidence introduced by the
plaintiff which went to show that
the road was previously rough and
rocky was entirely insufficient to
warrant recovery in the case. The
authorities Of the mountain town
ships of Pennsylvania are not, un-
der the law, required to constantly
keep the infrequent,y used lateral
roads in such condition that no
driver of an automobile or rider of
a bicycle can possibly suffer the in
convenience of puncturing a tire,
or that no one riding in vehicle
suitable only for race track or
city's speedway can possibly meet
with an accident. Townships are
not to be held to the duty of keep.
ing such roads perfectly smooth
and free from ruts, it is only when
such defects become dangerous and
the authorities have express or inn
piled notice of that fact that the
failure to repair them become neg
ligence.

Memorial Window Unveiled.

In Christ Episcopal church, Will
Transport. last Thursday afternoon,
occurred the unveiling of a win
dow made by the J. and R. Lamb
Company, of New York, the SUBJ
ject being a reproduction of Hoff-
mans "Christ Before the Doctors. "
The window is in memory of Eliz-
abeth and Valentine Doebler. Mr..
Doeblei was for some time vestry-
man of the parish and the first
contributor to the erection of the
church. Mrs. Doebler, his wife,
widowed in early life, spent all of
her life as a communicant of the
parish.
Valentine Doebler was a son
of Charles Doebler who many years
ago lived and died in Bloomsbury.
