School House Dedication at Lehigh Gap

|
A LARGE GATHERING AND AN INTERESTING
OCCASION Last Saturday, Dec. 23ra, the
handsome new school building at Lehigh
Gap, which has just been finished was dedi-
Gated with appropriate exercises by the
pupils and addresses by visitors. The build
ing is very neat one, and accommodates
two schools. 1t is supplied with the very
best kind of patent furniture, with large
slate black boards, and the windows are sup
Piled with weights, so that ample proyision
/ is made for ventilation. The rooms are
large and commodious, and the grounds, af-
ter they are fixed, will afford ample play
ground for the pupils.
The County Superintendent, and Prof. G.
z. Little, of Washington, D. c., who gave
instruction in drawing last week at the In
stitute, at Mauch Chunk, were present and
took part in the exercises. Supt. Ballet
congratulated the citizens on having one of
the finest school buildings in any rural dis
trct in the county. H. said that the direc-
tors deserved the thanks Of all the citizens
| ofthe community for the deep interest which
they have manifested in the schools hy the
putting up of such a handsome building
| lie said that but fifteen years ago people
would have found fault with school direc-
tors who would have furnished school
building with such furniture, but that to-dsy
all intelligent people considered il neces-
, sity. He remarked that this indicated Il e
rapid advance we were making in educa
t,onal int 'rest'. He said that all that was
needed yet was higher salaries that would
secure better teachers.
After the address, supt Ballet into
duced Prof. Little, who entertained the au.
dence for nearly an hour with beautiful
drawings and sketches. The large assemb-
lage present enjoyed it very nue.. Pre-
Little is one of the finest artiss in crayon
and charcoal sketching in the C. untry and
is rapidly winning for himself national
reputation. His work was quite a treat to
all who had the good fortune Of being pres
ent to see it,
! We may here state that another school
building similar to thu one at the Gap has
| been erected at Mllport This shows that
the school br ard of Towameusing is made
up Of energetic men who have the interests
of the schools at heart.

The GAINESVILLE Convention yesterday
was very tame and formal affair as
compared with its predecessor at st
Clairsville. 1t had been foregone con-
clusion for some time past that DR.. Up
degraff would be re-nominated, and the
primaries last Saturday virtually render
ed a verdict commanding the Conven-
tion to renominate him. This shows,
as we interpret it, that he was the
choice of the party for another term al
though there was wide spread support
of various local candidates in competi-
tion with him. But underneath these
local preferences there was strong un-
dertone for Updegraff, because the farm
ing people of the district believed that
he had made them creditable and eff
cient representative, and because they
looked upon him as belonging more
than any one else to their own distinc-
tive class.
Now that the long contest is over, we
hope that all The personal animosities of
the struggle for the nomination will be
remitted to the background, and not al
lowed to ngure IN Une CdHvaSS. This
the party owes to itself if it really seeks
success above personal revenge. 1t is
almost impossible to have struggle for
a nomination without the engendering
of personal feeling, but where there is
no principle at stake, and where the
feeling has been purely personal, it
should be buried with the nomination,
and all hands should move forward to
battle against the common foe. = Wheel

Disastrous Fire at Lancaster.


A special telephone dispatch to the
o. S. Journal, dated Lancaster, Aug. 27.
says:
The most disastrous fire within the
history of this town occurred this morn
ing at o'clock, in the complete destruc-
tion of the Hooking Valley Manufactu-
ring Company's works-an institution
favorably known all over the West. 1t
was mandatory of agricultural inl-
plements, the largest industrial enter
prise here, and the city's pride. The
loss, carefully estimated this afternoon
by Mr.. E. B. Cartmell, Secretary, is put
down, in round numbers, at $1S5,0O0,
with but S31, 100 insurance.
The structure itself was that known
as the old starch factory, three-story
brick building, 300 feet long by 100 wide,
and was entirely destroyed, even to the
walls, which are heaps of broken bricks.
New machinery, costing many thousand
dollars, including new engine, Fay
planer, elevators and cupola, had just
been put in, and there was at least $685.
900 worth of finished work waiting
shipment, of which nothing whatever
was saved. The establishment was
flooded with work, and orders enough
were on hand to keep the force of 1928
men busily occupied till March first next
year.
The disaster materially affects the bu-
siness interests of the city and is a
blow that will leave a lasting effect. Mr.
Theodore Mithoff, one of the proprietors,
stated this afternoon that the work Of
rebuilding will be begun Immediately.
THERE'S no theory of the origin of the
disaster, save that the fire has been
smouldering in some secret place about
the building for two days. The Office of
the company was separate structure,
which was saved; consequently the
books, ETC., are all safe.

given out no offices. He had arrayed
against him in the canvass nine-tenths
of the Republican press of the district,
nearly all of the Democratic press. and
all of the Government officers, yet had
come out OF the contest fat and hearty.
He hoped the Republicans would ratify
the nomination made to-day at the polls
in October, so that We may have grand
and triumphant victory.
At some length he touched upon the
issues in the present contest, and in
closing urged upon his hearers to bury
all differences in one wide deep grave OF
forgetfulness, and to do their whole duty
At the conclusion of the COlOnels
speech the Convention adjourned.

FRED DoUat ASS, the most distin-
guished colored man in America has
expressed his opinion on the alleged
threatened detection of the colored peo--
pie from the Republican party, and con-
cludes characteristic and sensible state
nent of the question, as follows.
The time may come 3when the politi-
Cal parties of the country shall be SO
equally just and liberal toward the col
ored voters, of the country that such
voters may wisely divide their strength; /;
but, overlooking the field of politics
from a somewhat advantageous position,
j am bound to say that the time thus re-
ferred 10 has not come, and that he is
an unwise counselor who would now
lead the colored voters ont of the only
party. from which they have received
the slightest: adnmbration of justice.
Don't make the mistake of jumping out
Of the frying pan into the fire, of fling
ing away the substance and grasping at
the shadow. Do not let us, either, make
the mistake of seeking outside of the
Republican party that which experience
and common sense teaches can be best
attained inside of that party XII
