THE posi- OFFI(E.

resignation and the air is thick with
post office. On Saturday Il citizen Of
W"rtili. gton circulated il petition rec
ommrndi & himself for appointment,
and who, OF all men, do you think it
WAS? Why. DR.. Il. d. Barber -
Yes, sir. us true us We live! Wish |
| may never die this minute, us the boys
say. if he lsn't after the post otiict!-
The man WHO never ltlh ;t-hand Oft If
ali office if he could get !ol,l nf one. lie
is Probate Judge, Pension Surgeon,
County Physician. Secretary cf the
Graveyard, Special Agent for Ayers
Pills. and row Vents to be Postmaster!
We have heard more laughing ut lis tx
pe''se since this move tina, we ever
heard before, not that he hasn't the
right to apply. but at his ev+rl;.stin ill.,
Suitable greed for every little office ex-
tant.
1t is safe to say that there are not
half Il dom men in Worthingtnn who
desire his appointment and nin-te+n-
| twentieths of the patrons Of the office
are opposed to lis having it. True, Il
number signed his petition, hut they
did SO because his was first presented,
and most OF them regret that they did
| So.
The other applicants are r. r. Miller
| and Z. J. lunistun, either Of whom
would be acceptable to Il majority of
the people. Mir. Miller had four years
experience as postmaster ut Enon VAL
| ley. Pa, and Mr.. Humist"n had an ex-
| peritnrt Of Il year o. Two as clel k in tile
WorthIngt"h office
Should Barber receive the appoint
ment through amy political hook or
| crook, he will go ia against the wishes
Of nearly the whole. community. OF
| course Barber has his fl lends but the nIa~
]ority tor his defeat is 50 large that we
ought al. to throw personal matters
aside aud make his defeat unanimous.

4 NIGHT SENSATION.

On Friday night last, about ten o.
clock, just as the exemplary editor of
that virtuous sheet, the ADVANCE,
was about retiring, with his boots off,
lie heard a cry in the direction of the
park. Whether the cry was ''6re" or
''murder'' or '|help," we could not dis
tinguish, but there was series of about
the most unearthly yells we have heard
since-we(l, since the old rebel yell!-~
Of course We got into our clothes again
| as quick rs possible and rushed out af-
ter first class item. We found stir
| and 4 sensation about the county Jail
and learned that John Howard, in Jail
under Il charge of taking Smiths mon-
ey. had locked Ed. Buciian, the jailor,
IN the cage and had made his escape.
Ed. had used his lungs with an energy
worthy of Il Methodist preacher. to give
the alarm, and he was soon relieve d 10y
some one making his way through the
Sheriff's office, drawing the bolt and re-
leasing the Gagged jailor. Thinking
Sheriff Miller might want to know what
was going on, we took little walk out
to his residence and notified Iii n that
something was up. Arriving 1T the Jail,
the Sheriff learned that Howard had
raised the window in the Office, jumped
out and fled toward the lake. Taking
revolver, and john Dahlstrom S bulbs
eye lantern, the Sheriff started with
several men toward the lake. In five
minutes he returned with the prisoner,
who was found crouching down behind
the door in Il privy in the rear of Loye-
less blacksmith SHOP.
Howard was shrewd enough to get
outside but not shrewd enough to make
good use of his liberty and all ''out of
doors" which was ut his command. 1t
! seems that he had tempered with the
faucet in the cage and got it to leak
ing. lie then called t" Buchan to fix
it. The jailor stepped in to d. so, when
Howard closed the cage door on him,
slipped the bolt, ran out into the Sher-
ifs office, raised the window, jumped
into the park, and struck out toward
the lake. The yells Of the jailor must
have unnerve'l him, for he hid in Che
first clubhouse he could find, intending
| probably to wait till later in the night
and then make for de woods.n
While for the sake Of Sheriff Miller
rs well as the administration OF law, we
think it best to have Howard returned
to jail, on the other hand, we almost
wish lie had made good his escape. His
whole conduct from the beginning Of
his trouble shows that liz has not the
first element at Il criminal III him. He
was tempted to keep the money, wi>eth-
er he stole or found it, but his whole
Conduct since shows that ne is bewill,
errd, depress 4 AID ut his wit S end over
the trouble it has caused him. 1t is bad
for him and bad for the county, that he
must lie in Jail so long waiting for his
trial. 80 far US punishment goes, i..
rs been amply punished already, and
we wish that John IInwart could be
released and returned to his family.

The Advantages Of Being II
Boy

AT the closing Of the Railway, n. J.
grammar school, Adolph Jacobs, aged
thirteen years, composed and read the
following composition an The Advan-
tages of Beng Boy:'
"a boy is generally born when he Ia
very young, and gets 10 be man before
his mother. A boy is not so shlllish as
a elrl. He takes a mouse, which would
scare his sister hall TO death. and ties
string to its tail and swings it over his
head. Then he Is in his glory and laughs
at his sister, who is looking Tor n
knot hole to hide 10. He wears no lace
bibs or corsets, pet,icoats or skirts. a
boy possesses ten lines more cheek
than a girl, but if be ever does any mis-
chiefh he owns up 10 it with bright
and smiling face. Girls are a great deal
of trouble 10 their parents, VINO haYe 10
keen them until somebody tails in love
with and marries them. Not so with
the boy-he takes care of horses, works
in The mine and raises cane. All that
e,rls do for exercise is to make dolls'
chemises and crochet work, while the
boy. the spark of mankind, is putting
up some job TO play on hls teacher or
playipr the glorious game OF base
ball. Huirah! then, Tor the boys.
They are tie standard bearers OF the
world !!

The Enemy of the Schools.

A vote for Cameron and the Riddle
berger bill is a vote against the Hepkel
bill. This last is the life OF the schools,
The Readjusters In taking this bill as
their platform virtually declared war on
the Henkel bill. The Riddleberger bill,
il passed, will repeal the Henkel act. In
the latter billi IS provided as to each Of
the certificates that
This certificate shall be received by
the county treasurer on whom drawn
a, It's face value for all taxes due the
Commonwealth when signed by 1.-The
Superintendent OF public free schools for
the county.
Take the above from the Henkel act
and that law is a nullity. The Riddle
berger bill provides that "tbe several
tax collectors OF this Commonwealth
shall receive in discharge ef the taxes,
license.taxes. and other dues, gold, sil-
chr, United States Treasury notes, nation
al bank currency and the temporary tod"
certificates as hereafter provided, and
nothing else
Here, it will be seen that the Riddle
berger clause prohibits the school cerll-
Gates from being received. The county
treasurer must only take gold, silver,
United States Treasury notes, Dational
bank currency and the temporary loan
certificate for which the bill provides but
not the Henkel bill certificates.

His return broke in upon her medita-
ton, and after receiving the money she
hurried away to her humble lodgings.
The following afternoon was even
more clustering and stormy; the wind
roared and the sleet tinkled against the
windows of the little room in which
Pansie and her father sat. Severe mis-"
fortunes and reyerses had reduced them
to poverty, and the old man being an
invalid all the care fell upon Pansie's
shoulders. She sat down with her
father reading aloud from a new book
which she had bought him with some
of the money received for the jewels.
Her sweet face was was wan and sad,
and her future stretched before her, sad
hopeless and gloomy.
There is a rug at the door, and SER

Fontenay. An exquisite bunch OF pam

Pansie sat amazed for moment, and
then a rich bloom darted into her
cheeks.
oh, father she said, Il kaow HIM !
I know him! We haYe found Ross at

An instant later Ross was in the
room clasping her huttering hands in his
and into her blue eyes looked with q
glance that brought bloom to her
face. And few weeks later, when the
clustering winds were oyer, aud the
hearted pansles bloomed on the
garden borders, little Pansie became
Ross Dunbar's bride and for bridal
gilt he gave her back her string oil

A large school of boys and girls were
