One Tichborne claimant is scarcely
out of Jail before another one appears,
and this time in America. THIS claim
ant says he was never in Rio de Jane
iro that he was deserted by bis valet
while supposed to be dying in a little
South American village halfway across
the continent from Santiago TO the AT
lantic Coast; that the valet took all his
money, except small amount left to
pay his nurse, and all his effects, and
that the servant being afterwards
struck with remorse took advantage of
the loss of the Bella to account for his
masters disappearance and sent some
of his effects home. The last letter the
family claims to have received from
Roger Tichbnrne this claimant says
was a forgery,
He tells romatic story of his recov.
cry. Rejecting on his situation, he
plunged into the forest to end his life.
stopping to pray, despair gave place to
remorse and resolution, and he rose
from his knees determined TO lead a
better life and not reveal his identity
until he had atoned for his evil past by
living as many years of worthy deeds.
He tells long story of his subsequent
travels. lie was living in San Fran
cisco at the time of the Tichborne

As was to be expected the practice
of boycotting is being resorted to for
the most absurd causes. A case of the
kind has occurred up in Lycoming
County where a GOODNESS has sprung
up on the part of the hardy lumber
men of Moreland township toward the
people of Hughesville because the lat.
ter have prevented the granting of
license to sell liquor in their village.
Such temperance movement is re-
garded by the Morelanders as kind
of fanaticism that deserves their rep
rotation, and they have accordingly
determined to boycott the town by
dealing somewhere else where the sur
roundings are not quite so droughty.

Judge Mcpherson, of Lebanon
county, in deciding that Jury Com
missioners are entitled to reimburse
ment for travelling expenses incurred
while going about their respective
counties for the purpose of making
proper inquiries about the persons
whose names had been handed them,
has helped the cause of honesty in the
selection of jurors. A Jury Commits
sioner who is obliged to pay his own
expenses in making the investigation
required of him by the spirit of the
law as an excuse for doing no travel
ing at all aud accepting instead the
names of political workers and per-
sonal tavorites as handed to him by
township politicians. An unscrupu
lous Jury Commissioner can, of course,
sit still, make up the names from those
so handed him and charge the county
travelling expenses never incurred, but
it will be the fault of his constituents
if they suffer by putting that kind of a
man into the office Times.

in correcting the acidity Of the blood, which
is the cause Of the disease, and purifying

world" W. F. wooD, Bloomington, Ill.

Governor Pattison is still pushing
his investigation of the Soldiers Or
phan schools, and certain papers are
complaining of the expense to which
he Is putting the state. Thus far the
expenses have been about $3.50. The
investigation is going on in a careful
and thorough manner, and the Cover.
nor is doing nothing more than his
duty. Pennsylvania cannot permit a
lot of heartless Spectators to siarve
the children in their schools on the
ground that it is too expensive to in.
vestigate the case. Let the good wol k
go on, and when the blame is place d
where it belongs, either let the children
be placed where they will not be the
victims of a money-making syndicate,
or else abolish the schools altogether.
AS conducted at present, they are with
few exceptions, disgrace to the state.

OL1vET, OAK, Jan. Is, 1886.
S. B. Miller, County Supt.,
Aurora County Dakota:'
Dear Sir: Yours Of the 11th, inst. is
received. stating. that the township
school board Of Cooper school township,
Aurora county, had purchased light
ming rods for five school houses in said
township, in one of which houses no
school had been taught for a year past;
that the township is in debt and cannot
pay it's teachers; and that the school
houses are not supplied with maps,
charts, and necessary out buildings,
and asking advice in the matter.
In reply you are advised that the ppr-
chase of lightning rods for public
school houses, especially under the cir
cumstances described, is without au-
thority Of law and misappropriation
of funds; and, the contract for the pay
ment of'money for the purpose named
cannot be enforced.
If the officers of Cooper school town
shin have already used the school funds
to nav for the lightning rods for which
the contract was made they should be
required to return the money to the
traa ,ury. or suffer the penalty for the
misapprop,riation. This question has
heen clearly dete' uiined by the courts
ona ahould not be misunderstood.
Very Respectfully, Yours
