ITINERANT PREACHERS.

Last Sunday afternoon the blast
of a bugle on the streets of town
disturbed the pacific quietude and
made people poke their heads out
of the windows to see what it was
all about. They saw a wagon, not
unlike the Gypsy type, on which
was sign announcing that the oc-
cupants were "Israelites of the
House Of David" and that they
intended to preach on the street
during the day.
In accordance with this announce
ment the "Israelites" established
themselves on Market Square twice,
in the afternoon and evening, and
addressed a goodly sized crowd.
There were four persons in the out
fit; two men and two women. The
men were conspicuous for their long
hair, which flowed down over their
shoulders. They hail from Benton
Harbor, Michigan, where they have
organized colony.
Their names are Marion, Andrew,
Grace and Ella, and they, like the
apostles of old, use only the one
name. They are Christians, but
have a peculiar creed. With the
Universalists, they do not believe
in an eternal hell. Nor do they
believe in the resurrection of the
earthly body.
AS near as we could gather from
their talks, they believe in the mill
enium, and that all people who are
on earth when it comes will live
forever.
They take up no collection, and
receive no salary, but depend upon
the free-will offerings of their aud
.iences in exchange for a little
tract which they pass around. They
camped on the fair grounds Sunday
night, and went from here to Cata-
wissa on Tuesday.
And now somebody is saying they
are fakes, because the men were
seen to remove their long haired
wigs.

CITIZENS BAND CONCERT.

The popularity of the Citizens
Band was we'll attested on Monday
night when a crowd of twelve to
fifteen hundred people stood for
nearly two hours to listen to a con-
cert, given in front of the court
house. Dozens of teams and auto
mobiles filled the street.
The selections were all highly
appreciated, as was evidenced by
the liberal applause The band re-
sponded several times to encores.
Prof. Chas. P. Elwell, the conduct
or, has brought this organization
up to high state Of efficiency, and
they can always be sure Of a large
attendance at their popular open air
concerts.
They propose to give a series of
Musicals in the Opera House this
winter, and then the people can
demonstrate their appreciation by
giving them liberal patronage. 1t
ought not to be said of Bloomsbury
that they appreciate good music
only when it is free.

THE FISHINGCREEKS.

The stations between Blooms
burg and Jamison City are the fol-
lowing: Bloomsbury D. L. & W.,
Bloomsbury P. & r., Paper Mill,
Light Street, Orangeville, Forks,
Zaners, Saltwater, Benton, Edsons,
Coles Creek, Laubach, Grass Mere
Park, Central, Jamison City:
The whole line of the road being
in the valley of the creek, and the
run being, including stops, about
~ hours. In making the run you
need several days in order to take
in all the camps, parks and other
beautiful stopping places.
There are great promises and as
surances, that the trolley line from
Bloomsbury to Millville will be
built and in operation by the first
of November. The promoters are
not alone in believing that the line
will make itself business by accom-
modating a numerous population
of wide awake farmers and business
men. living within reach of its ac-
commodation, and the terminus at
the new active village of Millville
and some two or three other begin.
nings of towns near by will furnish
trade, travel and traffic to keep it
busy.
Besides that. there are several
points of great beauty as to scenery
and surroundings, and at least two
bends in Little Fishing Greek, where
parks and picnic grounds can easily
be constructed.
Persons not familiar with the wa
ters and country drained by Little
Fishing Creek should make pleas
ure drive above and between the
points of the proposed trolley, and
pick out places for future, and near
future occupation. Now is the time
to quietly pick out the place, Sc
cure it, and you have the choice
near to or far from Bloomsbury, as
you wish.
Instead of chopping down trees
along the waters and streams, you
should care for and plant more. 1t
takes a tree a long time to grow,
and it's growth ought to be watched,
and the natural tree assisted in its
development. Some of that care is
being given them now, but more
and more intelligent care is needed;
care all round, that the streams
are not dried up, and the forests
demolished.

Upton MAY TRY AGAIN.

The new racing yacht Shamrock,
belonging to Sir Thomas Upton,
has been so successful that it has
landed twenty-four out of the
twenty-seven Contests it has enter
ed this season. This has made Sir
Thomas feel pretty happy, and he
is again anxious to try his luck at
capturing the America Cup next
summer.
Notwithstanding the criticism of
English sportsmauship incident to
the unpleasant occurrences at the
Olympic games last month, the
genial Sir Thomas has demonstrat-
ed during the numerous visits he
has paid this country that these
qualities are not characteristic of
all Englishmen. He became pop
ular favorite, and was good loser,
and will be welcomed every time he
chooses to come over, whether he
manages to lift the cup or not.

ON A LONG TOUR.

Mr.. and Mrs. William T. Lewis
of Racine, Wis, and Miss Davies
of Greenwich, Conn, arrived in
town on Saturday evening, and
spent several days as the guests of
Mr.. and Mrs. c. c. Peacock. They
are on a long automobile tour,
starting from Boston to Lake
George down the Hudson to New
York, Atlantic City, Philadelphia ;
thence to Bloomsbury. From here
they went to Eaglesmere, thence to
Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Erie, and
Chicago.
Mr.. Lewis is president OF the
Mitchell-Lewis Wagon Co., and of
the Mitchell Motor Car Co., and
the Yucca Cyanide Milling and Min
ing Co.
During their stay here the party
were taken out through the country
on auto trips, and were very much
pleased with the beauties of Blooms
burg, and the surrounding country.

PAY IN ADVANCE.

Sheriff Ent has made a much
needed rule that hereafter in all
cases when it is necessary for him
to expend money for car fare or
meals on the performance of his
duty, enough money must be ad-
vanced by the party requiring the
service to cover all such expenses.
This is wise rule. Heretofore
in many cases the sheriff has not
only lost his fees for service, but
also the cost expended by him in
performing that service. In the
cities and many of the counties, all
of the official costs and fees are re-
quired to be paid in advance. In
this county it has been the rule that
the sheriff spends year or two
after his term expires in trying to
collect his fees, and then loses
many of them.

THE OLD CANAL.

Remember, the old North Branch
Canal is no longer in existence.
Don't open up streets along its
winding towpath, but straight, and
fill up the old ditch with coal ashes,
cinder, and such matter. Pitch
into the Railroad Company now
owning it aud compel it to abate
the nuisance of high banks and
deep bitches and standing, foul
smelling water.
Don't forget that the whole town
ship of Bloom is now the Town of
Bloomsbury, and reaches from the
Fishingcreek to the Susquehanna
river. Give the citizens access to
every part of it, lay it out as it
ought to be; ignore apparent diff
culties, cut down hills. fill up hol.
lows, drain low lands, layout streets
on paper as they are to be OH the
ground shortly. X,

AT THE HOSPITAL.

Michael Reilly who swallowed
his false teeth, and underwent an
operation by the opening of the
throat for their removal, is report
ed as slightly improved, though his
condition is still serious.
Charles Stetler, I3year old boy
of Danville, fell from the second
story of the addition to the Dan
vile Hospital for the Insane on
Monday, and sustained fractured
skull. He was carrying water to
the workmen. The boy was
brought to the Joseph Ratti Hos
pital where an operation was per-
formed to remove the pressure on
the brain, and he regained con-
sciousness, but his condition is
critical.
Miss Helen Rupert, who was
operated on for appendicitis a
couple weeks ago, underwent a
second operation on Monday.

CONCERNING STREETS.

There are several projects and
propositions to open and widen sew
eral streets in Bloomsbury, adjoin-
ing the built-up portions of the
town Well, Gentlemen of Coun-
ell, sH"1 act and waste no time in talk.
Every street you open and widen
will increase the access to various
places, increase the value of the
property, enable persons to build
new houses, increase the income OF
the town, and in every way tend to
double up our comfort and Our bus
mess and our population.
The longer it is left the more ex-
pensive it will become, and that IS
TO be avoided. The sooner 1t is
done the sooner we will receive in
creased revenue from a small out
lay.

STEAM HEAT PLANT.

The plant of the Bloomsbury
Steam Heating Company is adver-
tised for sale, and there has been
much conjecture and no little anx-
ietysas to whether it will be operat-
ed the coming winter. If for any
reason it should be closed down, it
would be a matter of very serious
inconvenience to those whose homes
and business places are dependent
upon it for heat. If the work of
installing private boilers were to
begin at once, it would be impossi-
bic to get many of them in working
condition before cold weather sets in.
A meeting of the holders of bonds
is called for this evening at the Of
fee of John G. Harman, Esq, to
take action relative to the sale of
the property, which is advertised
for Saturday, August 22nd. 1t is
probable that something will be
done so that the plant will be oper-
ated, as it will cost but little COM
paratively to put it in good shape,
and it is not likely that so valuable
plant will be permitted to stand
idle, as it would very rapidly dete-
riorate if not in use during the
winter.
However, this is all matter of
conjecture, and nothing definite
can be stated until the interested
parties have decided what they will
do.

STEEL CARS TO BE BUILT.

Several of the leading railroad
companies are now figuring on the
purchase of steel cars, the inquiries
representing about 5000 cars in all.
This would mean the expenditure
of six or seven million dollars. The
orders may be placed within the
next thirty days.
1t is reported that the Gould lines
are contemplating the expenditure
of $40, 900, 900 for steel cars. It
these intentions are carried out. 1t
may safely be assumed that the
American Car and Foundry Com
pany will get its fair share of the
work, and this will give work tor a
time at the steel works of the Rer-
wick plant. When that happens
there is likely to be something do
ing at the Bloomsbury shops. We
are tod that the Bloom plant is
closed indefinitely" That does
not mean permanently
When the A. c. & +. Company
has orders that require the facilities
of the local shops, the latter will
undoubtedly start up again. Inc
sooner this happens, the better

MIR. EDISON BUSY AGAIN.

Thomas A.. Edison has kept in
the background for some time, out
he now comes forward with plans
for an airship which seems to be
superior to any yet advanced
Henri Farman, the French airator'
who is considered one of the leading
experts in aeronautics, visited MI
Edison on Monday, and after look
ing over the plans declared that
they were superior to those OF the
machine with which he has been
making his flights at Brighton
Beach during the past week.
The Wizard" may keep silent
awhile, but he is always on hand
with something better in every line
of invention.

UNSANITARY CONDITIONS
ALONG CANAL.

Attention has often been called
to the condition of the old canal
bed, and various schemes have
been suggested to have this nuis-
ance abated. The present nnsani-
,tary conditions which exist where
Market street crosses the abandon
ed waterway is disgraceful, and
should be remedied at once. A
thick green scum covers the stag
nant pool, and acts as an admirable
disease breeder. 1t is from just
such sources that epidemics spring,
and that illness has not yet develop
ed from it is remarkable. When
one considers that little stagnant
water in tomato can will breed
enough mosquitoes to infest many
houses, the possibilities of the old
canal may be realized.
If the owners of the property
cannot be persuaded to remedy it,
the local Health Board would do
we'll to do something Immediately
for the safety of the community.
A few dollars expended in oil to
pour over the surface of the offend
ing pools would help matters bit.
Just because an epidemic has not
been started is no reason to neglect
precautions. 1t is generally the
case that the cause is attacked after
it has done its harm. Let's not
wait.

BEASLY TRACT SOLD.

The property of the Catawissa
Coal Co., in Conyngham township
was sold by Sheriff Ent at the court
house on Tuesday for $63.Io, sub
ject to mortgage of SIS, 900, and
tax liens and costs of $7e6.25. The
tract is known by its warrantee
name as the Johnson Beasly tract,
and is valuable coal land. Some
years ago it was the subject of
much litigation in court. 1t is said
that the present sale took place for
the purpose of perfecting title.

Mr.. Yetter is the we'll known

President of the Town, and the
bride is one of Bloomsburg's popu.

MEETING OF COUNCIL.

At the meeting of the Town
Council Monday evening steps were
taken to enforce the payment of
taxes for 1906 and 1907. There
are a great many delinque nts, and
as the town needs money it was
decided to take decisive measures.
Upon consultation with Collector
Robbins the plan is to be adopted
of taking the first five names from
each letter in the alphabetical list
of 'delinquents and against these
executions will be issued to collect
their taxes.
George Trump was given per-
mission to use portion of Scott al
ley for threshing his crop.
E. E. Yohey was exonerated
from the payment of dog tax as
he has no dog,
Report was made on market fees.
Sums collected $50, and costs of
cleaning up the street s. 90, which
gives profit to the town.
The council ordered a new issue
of bonds for IS, sos to redeem bonds
due August I, 1908.
The pavement on Fifth street
and Sixth street was discussed. 1t
is reported as being too low. The
town engineer was instructed to
examine it.
After ordering a number of bills
paid council adjourned.

CHIMES IF NORMANDY
 WILL PEAL AGAIN
Phoenix Musical Enthusiasts Show
 Much Interest in Its Preparation.

The Bells of Cornville" alias The Chimes of Normandy" which is to be performed Thursday night at the Eli;s' theater by some of the best talent of our city, promises to be a big success in every way. The list Of patronesses practically assures its success financially while our home talent productions already have q record which assures the musical sue cess. Last season the sentiment was freely expressed that the home talent productions surpassed many of the one night companies that played here. Professor Grunn promises even better things next Thursday night. It is said that to listen to the augmented orchestra is alone well worth the price of admission. And taking this support to the carefully trained cho rus of forty voices. with a dozen principals, everyone knows there will be something doing.
 The staging of this opera is under the direction of MT. Joseph Wheelock, Jr., which alone is sufficient guar antee of quality. According to the argument. the Chimes of Normandy" is particularly adapted to fair week. Henri, Marquis of Bonneville. who has been an exile since childhood, returns to his ancestral home on the oc- casiOn of the great annual fair. He falls in love withetaoshrdletaoins falls in lore with Germaine, niece of Gaspard, an old mis- CT, who wishes that his niece chould marry the principal magis- trate of the district. With the aid of a fisherman named Jean, Ger maine manages to escape from the power of Gaspard and. taking ad- of a privilege of the fair, she becomes the servant of Henri. the Marquis. The second act deals with the supernatural, and after many un- canny scenes those battled against finally drive Gaspard crazy, espe- cially when he hears the bells of the chateau ringing for the first time since the exile of the Marquis. The third act represents the last day of the fair, when an especially good time is enjoyed in honor of the re- turn of the Marquis, together with his betrothal to Germaine, who it is discovered is the true MarchiOness The musical program is as follows:
