ALIENS LEAVE COUNTRY.

Foreign laborers continue their
rush to get away from the United
States. During January and Feb
ruary, 1908, roo,I5I third-class
passengers left for Europe. During
the same period only $4,000 ar
rived in the United States, against
SS,I3I in January and February,
1907, a decrease of 55,S7r. The
outward flow began in October of
last year, and, except for the week
between Christmas and New Years,
has continued without a break.
Steerage bookings on the Kaiser
Wilhelm II, which sailed on Tues
day, were closed more than week
ahead, and enough applications
were received to fill the steerage

SILVER WEDDING.

On Friday last, the 2Sth Of Feb
ruary, Mr.. and Mrs. G. B. Gunton
of West Third street celebrated the
25th anniversary of their wedding.
Their home was beautifully deco
rated with laurels and potted plants
The guests were ushered by three
of the BRIDES nephews, and receiv-
ed by the original bridal party,
which consisted of the groom's sis
ter and husband, Mr.. and Mrs. w.
A. McHose of Taylor, and brother
I'll. Gunton, and the brides sister,
Mrs. l.. +. Mowrey of Denver, Col
The evening was spent very
pleasantly in conversation and Rev.
Byers made a short address in
which he commented upon the
happy, Christian true home that
Mr.. and Mrs. Gunton have estab-
lished. A strange coincidence was
the fact that the brides father and
mother, Mr.. and Mrs. William Bel
dleman were married fifty-three
years ago in the same room where
in the present bridal party received.
The guests numbered one hun
dred; the out of town guests came
from Denver, Colo, Philadelphia,
Palmerton, Wcatherly, Taylor,
Wilkes-B Barre and Danville.
A most elaborate luncheon was
served and thoroughly enjoyed by
all, Mrs. Dodson catering.
The gifts were many and valua-
BILE, consisting of silver, cut glass,
china, linen, pictures, and furniture.

THAT OLD PRESS.

We hate to spoil good story
about that old Washington hand
press in the Bloomsbury Daily Of
fee, but really it is a mistake.
There is no press in that Office
whose lever was pulled by the edi-
tor of this paper in his younger
days, nor in any other Office, in
fact. Not being a practical printer
he never amused himself by run
ming presses, as there has always
been quite sufficient in the editorial
and business departments of the
business to fully occupy his atten-
ton.
The old press o. which the Daily
speaks was never in the COLUMBIAN
office. 1t formerly belonged to c,
M. Vanderslice when he conducted
the Sentinel Gil Center street, and
when William Krickbaum bought
the Sentinel he got the entire outfit,
and later moved it over to the pres
ent location. Where the press orig
inally came from we do not know.
1t is possible that it is the one that
was in the office Of the Star Of tie
North when owned by w. H. Jacoby.
There was a Washington hand
press in the COLUMBIAN office in
1875 and prior to that, but that
press came into the possession of
the editor of this paper and remain
ed there until it was sent to New
York in exchange for modern
machinery.
The Sentinel press was in town
at the same time, and it is undoubt-
edly an old press, and an interest
ing relic, and still useful, but the
facts concerning it have gotten a
little twisted.

A CONVERSATIONAL NUISANCE.

1t was our misfortune TO have a
seat at the band concert in Normal
Hail OH Monday night, in front of
pair of students who persisted in
talking aloud from the beginning
to the end of the program. When
the band played loud they raised
their voices, and when Mr.. Escan-
averino played his violin solo, very
softly and sweetly, they never stop
ped a minute. 1t was exceedingly
annoying to every one who sat near
them. The young woman did the
least of the talking, and perhaps
she was compelled to say some.
thing in answer to the incessant
chatter Of her male companion.
Both of these young people look
ed as though they had sufficient
intelligence to know that what they
were doing was not only annoying
to others, but an exhibition of ill
breeding, In the much criticised
Bloomsbury Opera House they
would have been told to shut-up or
get out, 1t is hardly expected that
the presence of policeman is neces-
sary in the Normal Auditorium to
quiet those who are making them
selves obnoxious, Most people who
attend the Normal entertainments
do not require police attention, and
we know that the school authori-
ties have strictly forbidden just this
sort of disorderly conduct.
People who pay their money for
entertainments are entitled to enjoy
them undisturbed by the idle twad-
die of thoughtless youngsters who
prefer cooling to good music.
The case above mentioned is not
the only one Of the kind. In the
gallery several girls chartered until
persons sitting near by asked them
to desist. The practice is one that
ought to be suppressed.

FIFTY. SECOND VOLUME.

The Republican enters upon its
fif.y-second year this week, and to
mark the event it appears in new
dress of type.
Since August. 1875. Mr.. J. c.
Brown has been its editor and pro-
prietor, covering a period of nearly
thirty-three years. During all those
years the paper has been the recog-
nized organ of Republicanism OF
the stalwart variety in this county,
and Mr.. Brown has been the ac.
knowledged leader of his party.
We do not agree with it politi.
cally, but as family newspaper it
is clean and progressive, always
standing for what is best in our 10.
cal government, and always ready
to assist in all things that 60 to.
wards the advancement of the in'
terests of the community.
Though now entitled to be called
a veteran editor, we trust that Mr.
Brown may still have before him
many years of continued useful
ness.

CITIZENS BAND CONCERT.

The concert given by the Citizens
Band in the Normal Auditorium on
Monday evening was a most enjoy
able entertainment. 1t was under
the auspices of the Philologian
Literary Society.
The program included the Ameri-
can Pioneer March, Crown Dia-
monds Overture, Merry Widow
Waltz, The Glow Worm, Pilgrims
Chorus from Tannhauser, The
Royal Chef, Empire State March,
and several encores, by the band.
Mr.. Escanaverino played a violin
solo, Evening Star" accompanied
on the piano by Miss Burge. 1t was
a beautiful selection, and was well
played, as are all of this popular
violinist's performances. He was
encored, and rendered another
selection equally as well.
Mr.. Chas. O. Skeer sang the
Toreador song from Carmen, with
accompaniment by the band, and
this too elected loud applause which
compelled repetition.
The band surprised even its best
friends. They played with vim
and spirit that was greatly enjoyed.
There were 20 members in the
band, and the Instrumentation was
we'll arranged and very effective.
All the numbers were played with
fine expression, and in the J0rke
measures there was great volume
of harmonious sound.
Under the leadership of Chas. P.
Elwell the band has made rapid
strides, and is already conceded to
be the best band Bloomsbury has
ever had. 1t was remarked that it
would rank with such organiza-
tions as Alexander's, of Wilkes
Barre, Ringgold, of Reading, and
Repasz of Williamsport. This may
be putting 1t pretty strong, but the
boys have every reason to be well
satisfied with themselves.
1t is hoped that they will give
more concerts in the near future,
but just here it may be we'll to re-
mark that if Bloomsbury wants a
good band permanently, the people
must show their appreciation by
giving them good audiences.
E. M. Savidge, the manager, has
done much towards making the
band a strong organization, and is
entitled to a full need of praise.

CHANGE AT FIRST NATIONAL.

Frank Ikeler Esq, has been
elected Cashier of the First National
Bank of Bloomsbury, and has en-
tered upon his duties. Mr.. Ikeler
is a graduate of Lafayette College,
a lawyer, and had three years ex-
perience as Cashier of the Farmers
National Bank when it was first
organized. He is conservative and
possessed of ripe business judgment,
and his selection for the place is an
excellent one.
Eugene F. Carpenter, who has
been the Cashier for some years,
resigned the position last week,
and has gone west for few weeks.
The bank has large capital and
surplus, and was never stronger
than it is now,

RURAL CARRIER MARRIED.

Mr.. Claud Maust and Miss Ella
Mausteller were married at the
home OF the bride on Danville R.
F. d. No. 3 last week Wednesday
at noon. The bride is the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Mausteller,
and the groom a son of Mrs. Joseph
Maust. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. G. d. Strait of
Buck Horn. Owing to the fact that
the groom's father was buried lon,y
the day before, only the members
of the families and near friends
were present.
Many beautiful presents were re.
ceived by the bride. They will re-
side in Bloomsbury, where Mr..
Maust is government employee
in the position of carrier on a
rural free delivery route.
Before accepting his present posi-
ton he was employed in this office.

JUDGE LINDSEY AT NORMAL.

Hon. B. B. Lindsey of Denver,
Colorado will appear in Normal
Auditorium on Tuesday evening of
next week in his celebrated lecture
"The Misfortunes of Mickey"
The lecturer is Judge of the Juvenile
Court in Denver and in his official
capacity has already won a national
reputation.
A magazine article says of him
Partly by reason of his position,
but in greater degree because he is
the man he is, Judge Lindsey is
mighty power in the Court of Boy
vile. To the youthful offender he
occupies position unique and un-
assailable. He stands between the
boy and the "cop!"
Every Denver boy knows that he
will get "square deal," that the
"Kids' Judge" will stand by him
long after others have given him
up. and so long as he has shred

tense loyalty calls forth respon-
sive loyalty on the part of the boys.
1t is this fealty that holds true
ninety-fve per cent of the boys in
the Juvenile court. 1t is this same
instinct that has led thirty of the
most persistent of these little law
breakers to take their writs of COM
mitment to the industrial school,
go down to the depot entirely with
out surveillance, board train for
Golden and deliver themselves to
the superintendent of the reform
school "to take what was comm
to them" Could loyalty go far
ther than this, shat street gamin
should voluntarily deprive himself
of the liberty to roam about at his
own sweet will simply because he
would not "t'row down de judge"
Not one of them has failed, not
one out of thirty"
You should not fail to hear this
distinguished man.

Lower Susquehanna.
Plans to Make II NavisabIe Up to Columbia.

The Susquehanna river is to be
made navigable by a system of
canals and pools, between Port De-
posit and Columbia, Pa A bill to
enlarge the powers OF the Susque-
hanna Power Company, which is
constructing the great dams and
electrical work on the river near
McCalls Ferry, has been intro
duced in the Maryland Legislature.
1t will authorize the company to
build other dams and transmission
lines for electric power and to utilize
its dams for navigation. When con-
nected by canals with tide-water it
will be permitted to charge tolls to
vessels. The plan is to construct
canals with long pools back of
them, connected by locks. There
will be -four miles of canal below
the lowest dam. When completed
the company will be able to supply
navigable water distance oftwenty
nine miles to Columbia, Pa.

Women's Patriotic Clubs.

The societies of the Daughters of
the American Revolution and the
Colonial Danes of America have
done and are doing valuable SER
vice to the present and coming gen
erations of our country. They have
encouraged study and investigation
of our early history. of men, places
and events, that have had to do
with the formation and develop
ment of America into what we
know it to be and what we hope for
it. 1t is especially significant that
all over our own state the pupils of
Our public schools are searching the
records for the early history of
local events. In Philadelphia the
school children are searching for
sites and relics of men and incl
dents connected with the early
Philadelphia. The boys and girls
of Bloomsbury are beginning to ask
for such information concerning our
early history. Such study arouses
interest and enthusiasm in affec-
ton for our home, and as this study
is extended into the history of the
state and nation, lessons of pa
triotism, of devotion to the nations
interests, incentives to right living
and righteous citizenship are un-
consciously inculcated.
