CHANGE OF MANAGERS.
"THE COMPLIMENT OF THE SEASON"

Geo. II Hentshall who has been
manager of the Columbia Theatre
since its remodeling, has resigned
and S. 4 Bidleman has succeeded
him.
Mr. Hentshall will return to New
York and will resume the business
of advance agent for prominent
theatrical company. During his
stay here he made many friends
Mr.. Bidleman has all the qualifi-
cations to make successful mana.
ger, and he will do SO, provided he
can secure the one very necessary
thing, namely; the patronage of
the public.
The theatre has been made mod =
ern, and first class plays have been
presented, but the audiences have
been small, and the lessees have
lost money. Why is this? For
some years past the complaint was
loud that the Opera House was
badly managed, it was not kept
clean, it was not heated, only poor
shows were given, &c. &c. Now
none Of these causes for complaint
exist. And still the patronage is
not sufficient to make the house
pay,
The frequent cry has been heard
that Bloomsbhrg needed a new
Opera House. Talk of forming
syndicate for the erection of one
was heard at one time. The gen
tlemen who were consi iering the
matter are 10 be congratulated that
they did not waste their money.
The old opera house has been
handsomely fitted up, but the pat
sonage is too small to warrant the
bringing of good shows here.
1t is to be hoped that the new
manager will be able to impress
the people with the necessity of
patronizng a public hall. if they
want the town to have the benefit
of one. Neither the manager nor
the lessees are giving shows merely
to amuse the public, and if those
who enjoy good entertainments
will not attend when the opportun-
ity offers, about the only thing to
do is to cater to TIE class that pre-
ierS cheaper shows.

SHOP AT HOME.

Many people carry the idea that
they can buy elsewhere cheaper
than they can at home. While this
may be true in some instances,
there are SO many reasons why We
should patronize our own mer-
chants, that the few nickles we
might save are lost i'll many ways.
There are few items we can not
buy here and our stores are as good
and cheap as you can tiud any
where. No matter for what pur-
pose money is needed the MGR.
chants are the first men called on
and the first to respond. They pay
heavy taxes, they accommodate us
in every thing we need daily and if
we need little credit. we can al
ways get it provided we make good.
To send money out of town is
dead loss to the town. The person
who makes a business of sending
away for his goods is not a friend
of the town he calls his home.
We make our money here and
should spend it here.

FOUND TYPHOID GERMS.

That the mountain springs dc
not contain pure water, free from
all germs of disease, was proven
Monday, says the Berwick Enffr'
prize, when several members OF the
Board of Health visited the springs
in the vicinity OF Summer Hill, and
Shickshinny Valley and upon ana,
lization of the water, it was found
to contain typhoid germs. Water
taken from the large spring situat-
ed on the premises of Mrs: Smith,
at the foo. of the Shickshinny
mountain was analyzed, and found
to contain many typhoid germs
The proof was one of great sur
prise to the farmers in that vicinity
and every precaution has been tax
en- to guard against an outbreak OF
the fever.
The boiling of the water for both
domestic sand drinking purposes
has been started and pupils OF the
Summer Hill school, are made to
carry their own drinking cups while
at school.

5000, 900 FOR ARM0RIFS.

The Sta,e Armory Board will
ask the Legislature to appropriate
5000, 900 for the building of Armor-
les throughout Pennsylvania, con-
sidering that this amount is neces-
sary because of the numerous de-
mands for such buildings which
have come from almost every
county. The amount appropriated
two years ago was $500, 900 but
this sum was insufficient to meet
more than a fraction of the re-
quests, some of which were accom-
panied by offers of lots if the State
would build the armories.

EVERY CITIZEN A SOLDIER.

Every male citizen of the United
States between the ages of IS and
as is to become part of the military
force of the country and liable for
military duty under the terms
of bill, if passed, which has been
recommended by the President in
special message to Congress The
bill provides for an elastic organiza-
ton, and, as the President says,
under its provisions it will be just
as easy to raise an army of two mil
lions as one of fifty thousand.

MlFFLlN TOWNSHIP VS..
SCHUYLKILL COUNTY
Case Reversed BY Supreme Court.

In a decision handed down by
the Superior court, sitting at Phila-
delphla on Monday the Common
Pleas Court Of Columbia county is
reversed in the case OF the Over
seers of the Poor of the Poor Dis
trict of Mifflin township VS.. the
Directors of the Poor and of the
House of Employment for the
County of Schuylkill, in which an
order of removal was affirmed by
Judge Evans. William Shepherd,
of Pottsville, and William Cnris-
man. of Bloomsbury, represent the
appellant, and Grant Herring, OF
Sunbrrv and T. J. Vanderslice, of
Bloomsbury, represent the appellee.
The decision of the Superior
Court is as follows: "Overseers OF
the Poor for the Poor District of
Mifilin township, Columbia county
vs.. Directors of the Poor of the
House of Employment for county
of Schuylkill, @. s., Columbia }
Third assignment is sustained; the
order is reversed and the order of
removal is quashed at the cost OF
the appellee.
The story of the case dates back
to 1904. when one Harvey Gear
hart moved from Schuylkill county
to Mifflin township. George Dur
lin and w. II. Bachman, overseers
OF the Poor for Mifllin township,
fearing that he would become in
digcnt and a charge on the Poor
District which they represented
took out an order of removal on the
10th day of December, 1904. The
appeal was heard before c. r.
Weiss aud William Bogert, two
justices of the peace, and an order
of removal was granted.
On February s, 1905, Frederick
PORTE, Anthony Schmicker and
Benjamin Kaufman, directors of
the Poor for Schuylkill county,
took out an appeal from the order
of removal, claiming tnat he was
not liable to become a charge on
Miffiin township, and that the or
der was not necessary.
Argument was had on the first
Monday of March, 1907, and on
April /, 1908, decision, affirming
the finding of the justices of the
peace was handed down by Judge
Evans 1t was as follows: And
now, April 1, 1907, the order of
removal is affirmed, and it is furth-
er ordered and directed that the
county authorities pay
the costs of this proceeding.

Upon the filing of the proper
bond with William Chrisman and
I. l.. Gunton, as sureties, in the
sum of $500. an appeal was allow
ed Schuylkill county and on May
5, 1907, a writ of certiorari was en-

MORE NATURE Taxing,

In recent magazine there ap-
peared an article headed, "In Pursuit
of the Wild Honey Bee" Has it come
to this? How long before we meet
with wild Insects I have Known" or
the Hunt of the Green Caterpillar? ?"
We do indeed remember that a Rus
sian did write a stirring novel called
the "Gadfly," but from now on one
should consider we'll any such incen-
diary literature as Lady Bug" Even
the Presidents hunting trip in Africa
should be well attended with success
in this field of insect romance. Next
we shall listen to a monograph on the
Fly in Literature" Still we welcome
the insect in literature more than in
other places.

IN RE MRS. IoNGWORTH.

Three self appointed Kentucky Col
onels with that courtesy which we
have come to regard of as innate in
not only Kentucky gentlemen, but of
gentlemen everywhere invited Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth TO be a guest of
honor at the national convention of
the prohibition party. Now it appears
that the convention doesn't want her.
Mrs. Longworth is not regarded as
being 'perefect lady" She has been
known ITO be seen in the company
of George B. Cox of Cincinnati. at
cigarettes. Besides they averred she
is not the type of woman the delegates
ought to select as a guest
Laying aside the fact that Mrs.
Longworth may or may not agree with
the propaganda of prohibition, it was
in very poor taste to expose her to
criticism of public discussion. 1t
would not nave .nurt the party TO De
looked at by one of the gentlest born
women in the land. No one in the
democratic, party felt for an instant
that Mrs. Longworth was very .enthu-
siastic about their party nor wished
them success, but she was invited and
entertained in a cordial. and hospitable
fashion. 1t would have been a feather
in the cap Of the prohibition party had
they succeeded in Turing Mrs. Long
worth from her alleged wicked life.
But perhaps she receives a compliment
in being thought SO attractive.that she
might make the members Of the party
err. There is all the mere ground to
this belief in as much as the most of
the opposition, came from lone wo-.
man On the committee. Was it feminine
jealousy or simply a disregard of the
laws of politeness?

CONVICT CAPTURED
Indiana Murderer OverpoW-
cred in Kentucky Foot
hills.
TAKEN TO MICHIGAN CITY.

Michigan City, Ind, July 17.-Nelson
Fritz, an escaping convict from the
Michigan City Prison since August 10,
last, convicted of first degree murder
and sentenced to life Imprisonment
from Bedford, Lawrence county, seven
years ago, was captured in the foot
hills of the Cumberland mountains, IS
miles from Barbourville, KY, by Pris-
on Agent Thomas Larmore. The cap
ture was effected after months of eff
fort on the part of the prison agent.
While at Michigan City Fritz was
employed generally about the institu-
ton. Carefully choosing his time he
made q successful bolt for liberty. He
finally found refuge in the mountains
of Kentucky.
Agent Larmore after tracing his
man through the Blue Ridge and Cum
berland mountains finally located him
at the home Of a brother-in-law near
Barboursville, Ky.
The fugitive kept himself concealed
in a clump of bushes a short distance
from the house, his meals being car
ried to him by his sister-in-law.
1t was when the woman was on a
visit to the convict's hiding place that
she was followed by Larmore. After
a struggle Fritz was overpowered and
was brought to this city by Agent
Iarmore.

STATES RIGHTS.

One of the most ludicrous OF the
cratic platform is the proposal Eve
infer of Mr.. Bryan) to compel the CO..
porations doing more than twenty five
per cent of the business in any COM
modify to take out a federal license
before it can engage in business.
Where are now the democratic broth
ers who have for many years bewail-
ed the delegation of states rights to
central government and who have
seen danger in the increase of federal
power?
Not content with the licensing of
corporations, future democratic con-
gress will protect the public from
watered stock. How? There the dem
ocratic party pauses, but at any rate it
is certainly more delegation to the
central government"
But there is still more. "a law CON-
Polling such licensed corporations to
sell to all purchasers in all parts OF
the country on the same terms after
making due allowance for the cost of
transportation" Where is such pow
er to be found under the constitution?
There is no paragraph which applies
to interstate commerce which could in
any way be distorted so as to give
congress the right to fix the price of
any commodity. Such a course would
kill the business of the country only
too quickly.
To put it tersely. the democratic
party is not content to regulate the
corporations, but would give congress
the right to absolutely control them
and all the business OF the country
together with the prices.
On this subject the New York Sun
says: This is socialism run mad. If

Eitted to the policy embodied in that
plank in the Denver platform, no true

An eastern paper remarks that Col
onel Bryan has begun to teach Kern
the art Of keeping still. We confess
that we would rather lean toward the
opinion that he had come to a very
poor tutor. 1t may be that Bryan wants
to do all the talking, that Mr.. Kern
has nothing to say or that he consid-
ers that the least said about things,
the better. In such a case the expla-
nations being many, we refrain from
offering or selecting any. Mr.. Kern
did say one thing however: We hope
sound very confident. But it is al
most more than he could say truth
fully.
