There is a bill in congress to regu-
late the stamping of gold-filled cases.
That is, to regulate the amount of
gold which must enter into the man
ufacture of a watch case of a certain
size to be guaranteed to wear so
many years.
Realizing the enormous fraud
practiced on the people this bill has
been introduced. Whether it will
get far enough to reach the presi-
dent for his approval or veto will
have to be proven by time.
Laws of this kind are only neces-
sary to protect the consumer against

FARMERS OIL MILL TROUBLE
Auditing Company Employed to Look
Into Its Affairs Makes Report.
Company May BE Reorganized.


AS is well-known to the general
public the Farmers Oil and Fertil-
izer Co. has been in financial straits
for some time, and recently, on ac-
ton of the stockholders, the Ameri-
can Auditing Company of New York
was employed to go through the
books of the company and make a
report as to its condition.
Mr.. S. S. Chapman was sent to
Dawson several weeks ago to inves-
tigate the condition of the company
and he made his report at meeting
of the stockholders Saturday.
He reported that the Indebtedness
of the company is $4,000, including
$4,000 of bonds that were recently
issued. The total liabilities of the
company, including the capital stock
of $4,000, is $4,000, with assets
of 100000, including the plant,
stock on hand AMI accounts.
There is a movement on foot to
organize a new company of about
ten people and buy the shares of the
present stockholders. 1t is proposed
if the plan goes through, to give
notes for the stock at par value due
five years hence without interest
which would be about SO cents or
the dollar for the stock on a cash
basis
Many farmers of the county own
stock in the mill.
Another meeting of the stockhold-
ers will be Aeld today, when some
definite plan of action may be agreed
on.

Attended and Enthusiastic

Tuesday afternoon a large number
of the ladies of the Methodist church

Deubler, who has been actively in
the Philathea movement since it's
successful development in the Daw-
son Baptist church some months
ago, was present, and gave a clear,
concise outline of the great work
which had its origin in the earnest
desire of few church workers to
promote the interest of Sunday
schools and encourage the social
spirit along philanthropic lines.
Miss Deubler's earnest talk inject
ed much enthusiasm, and was most
instructive and enjoyable.

as teacher for this large CLASS, took
the chair, and the body proceeded to
the election of officers, with the fol-
lowing result:

1T WOULD DRAW.

The officials o. the Columbia
County Fair have decided that the
space inside the race track shall no
longer be used for tying teams.
This is a very wise provision, and
will eliminate the danger that has
always existed, of collisions be-
tween racers and the teams and
people crossing the track.
1t has been we'll suggested that
this space might be utilized to good
advantage by laying out a base ball
diamond, and then secure two Of
the crack clubs, like the Athletics
and Brooklyns, to play on the
mornings of two days of the fair.
1t is believed by the base ball en-
thusiasts and many others that
these clubs could be procured at not
much more than has been paid for
some of the so-called attractions"
that appear on the platform in front
of the grand stand.
This would not interfere in any
way with the racing, and would
almost certainly draw an immense
crowd. The suggestion is surely
worthy of consideration.

A HANDSOME NEW STORE.

For the past few weeks altera-
tions have been in progress in the
Titman Building on Main street for
the accommodation of Harry Rink
er's Crystal Palace. The work is
now finished and tonight the open
ing Of the place will occur. MIR.
Rinker is to be congratulated upon
the handsome appearance of his
store. 1t is surely very attractively
furnished and decorated, and one
must go long way to find a stand
of like character which approach
es it in tasteful arrangement. The
color scheme is carried out in a rich
red, with light ceiling, and an
abundance of plate glass mirrors
empanelled i'll The walls. A rich
looking soda fountain of marble and
hard wood occupies one side of the
front Of the store, and this is nicely
balanced by attractive show cases
of confectionery on the other side.
In the rear there is spacious bal
cony for an orchestra, and this will
be first put to use tonight at the
opening, when Elwel's orchestra
will furnish music throughout the
evening. The lighting arrange
ments are of ample proportions,
there being both incandescent gas
and electric lamps. The floor is
covered with a heavy linoleum.
Neat chairs and tables fill the rear
of the room. No expense has been
spared in fixing up the establish
ment and as a result Mr.. Rinker
has a stand such as one seldom sees
in a town of this size.

LE0NI MELLlCK.
Prominent Philadelphia Attorney Succumbs
10 Disease.

After an illness of month from
acute Bright's Disease, Leoni Mel
lick died at his apartments at 1920
Spruce street, Philadelphia, on
Monday. The remains were brought
to East Bloomsbury on the Penn
sylvania railroad this morning, and
taken in charge by Undertaken
Baker, and at two o'clock this af-
ternoon were taken to Light Street
where they were Inferred in the
family plot.
Mr.. Mellick was a son of the late
Jacob and Elizabeth Mellick, and a
brother of O. B. Me!lick of this
town, and Pulaski Mellick and Mrs.
Samantha Brown of Light Street.
He was born at the old Mellick
homestead in Light Street in 1851,
and spent his youth there. His
age was 81 years.
He was prepared for college at
the Bloomsbury Literary Institute,
and entered Yale, where he took
the classical course of four years,
graduating in 1874. Later he went
to Germany where he studied in
Heidelberg University. Returning
to this country he studied law with
Samuel c. Perkins, Esq. in Phila-
delphia, and was admitted to the
bar in that city in 1877, where he
built up large practice and high
reputation. For some years past
he was associated with Col. Shel
don Potter and Henry L. Dechert,
as the legal firm of Mellick, Potter
and Dechert.
He was a ce-president of the
Art Club, member of the Univer-
sity and of the Bachelors Barge
Clubs, a member of the library
committee of the Pennsylvania Bar
Association, and president of the
Yale Alumni Association of Phila-
delphia. A few months ago he
presided as POSTMASTER at banquet
given by the Yale Alumni Associa-
tion of Philadelphia to William H.
Taft.
Mr.. Mellick was a hard student,
and prepared his cases with the
greatest care. His assiduous devo'
tion to his profession was probably
the chief cause of his death, as he
allowed himself little or no time for
rest and recreation. His taking of
in the vigor of manhood, VIII en- all
his mental powers were at their
best, is source of deep regret and
sorrow to his many friends.
