The study of Physiology and Hygiene
continues to form the leading educational
topic throughout the State. Local and per-
sonal objections here and there step In to
break the even enor of the teachers way,
and many, doubtless, will be the cases re-
ferred to the department at Harrisburg for
adjustment before the present term closes.
Already the department has debided that
pupils who refuse to procure the necessary
textbooks on the subjects may for such re-
fusal be suspended from the school until
they comply with the demands of the law.
The latest question bearing on this subject
that has peen submitted to the department
is /: " Can boards of directors legally author
ize teachers in their employ to execute pupils
in the public schools from receiving instruc-
ton in physiology and hygiene when so re-
quested by the parents Of the children ?"
To this question State Superintendent Hig-
bee answers that The act relating to the
study Of these branches is strictly compul-
sorry law. Its terms are specific and marda-
tory. The directors have no authority un-
der the law governing their official action
to excuse any pupil from receiving instruc-
ton in physiology and hygiene but, on the
contrary. they are required to have it taught
to all the children in their schools, as the
act expressly provides

THE MYSTERY SoLvED.-Why should we
buy our Clothing, Hats, Caps and Gents
Furnishing Goods at Becher's Clothing
Hall? is question that is being asked ev-
cry day. But the answer is easily and plain
ly told The first reason is, that it is the
only place in Somerset, where you can find
an exclusive stock of clothing and Gents
Furnishing goods.
Secondly, There is not any article pertain
ing to a first class Clothing establishment
that can not be found at Becher's Clothing
Hall.
Thirdly, You will find the largest and
handsomest Stock of Suits and 0vercoats
for Mems, Youths Boys and Children's
wear, that has ever been seen in Somerset.
Fourthly, Becher is an experienced Cloth
ier, and he does not sell you old stock tor
new. When he has an article in his store
that does not sell as readily as it should he
reduces the price to such low figure that
customer cannot help but buy.
Filthy, Becher pays cash for his goods.
and thereby saves heavy discount, which
he proposes to give to his customers.
Sixthly, All goods are guaranteed as rep
resented or money refunded.
The public is respectfully invited to call
and examine his mammoth stock before
purchasing elsewhere. and they can readily
solve the mystery.

Mr.. James L. Mitchell, OF this place, mar
rowly escaped with his life a few nights ago.
Having been detained on the Fayette coun-
y side of the Youghiogheny river until q
late hour, he attempted to cross the tempo
rary foot bridge in the dark, and fell into
the swift waters of the river. The fall hav-
ing partly stunned him, he came very nigh
drowning. His cries for help could not be
answered, owing to the lateness of the hour.
and the long distance to any house. Why
is there no bridge over this river
Bob Scott, the coiored man who is accused
of killing the Hungarian at the Chicago and
Connelisville Coke Works, passed through
here twice, first on his way to Cumberland,
Nd, on foot, and second on his way from
Cumberland to Uniontown Jail, by rail, ex-
penses paid. He was arrested at Cumber-
land. Fayette county still keeps a little
ahead in homcides.
Peanuts are being raised with success in
this and Fayette counties. Mr.. II. Fl. Rush
has raised as fine specimens as can be found
anywhere, and Mr.. NJ. Burnworth, of Fay
ette county, also has fine lot OF them. We
love enterprise, and who knows but that
peanut raising in this part Of the county
may not become profitable business. Give
US more peanuts.
The residence of Mr.. Andrew McNear,
just across the Youghiogheny, was destroy
ed by fire on the 22d inst. About o'clock
in the afternoon the children discovered fire
in the roof, and Mr. McNear and his wife be-
ing out in the field they gave the alarm, bur
before help arrived the flames had spread
beyond the hope of saving the building.
About two-thirds Of the furniture was saw

The politics OF the Meyersdale Commercial
are of mixed and spurious quality, and if
its editor was to eliminate from its columns
all that is Democratic and spurious and
publish nothing but genuine, straight-out
Repubiicanism, he could print it all ON one
side of a postal card and have plenty of
space left to publish the names of the con-
tr,butors to the prosecution fund. Yet this
is called Republican paper. Of course,
mongrel sheets are allowed to claim that
which they least possess. The deception
would not be complete without such an ar
rangement Republicans, beware The
Meyersdale Commercial not only advocates,
but urges with all the power it possesses,
which fortunately is not much, you to vote
for Sam Philson, of Berlin, stright-out,
stiff-necked, died in the wool Democrat,
who probably mover voted for Republican
in his life, against John C. Barron, of SOM
erset township, a true Republican, an hon
est, intelligent, hard-working farmer, for the
office of Poor House Director. Mr.. Barron
is laboring man. and would make good
officer, while Philson is an opulent banker.
