Our New Principal.

OF our new principal the Allentown
Democrat says: Prof. A. F. X. Kraut,
of Coplay, has been elected principal of
the public schools of Lehighton. in place
of Prof. StetLler, who goes to nOylestown.
We congratulate the citizens of Lenghton
upon the choice made, for in Mr.. Kraut
they will have an active, earnest and pro.
gressive educator, man of long time ex-
perlence as a teacher, and who is in every
way well fitted for the position 10 which
elected. He was in charge of the High
School a. CoplaY for continuous period of
fourteen years, and last winter was the
principal of the schools at Emlentown, We
mango Co., Pa, and It is to be said that he
has always gwen satisfaction in the highest
degree. He was chosen from among 81
! applicants for the position, and we are quite
sure the directors of the borough made nc
mistake. Mr.. Krout has applied the best
portion of his life 10 educational work
and what he eosen't know about il isn'l
] worth learning.

ARRESTED FOR LARCENY.-Last Tues
day afternoon Sheriff Mackay received
a dispatch from J. G. Birdsey sheriff
of Jackson county requesting him to
arrest Harry Preston printer employ
ed In the Leader office, ON a warrant
sworn out by J. B. Sallnen, a Jackson
vile tailor, charging him with larceny
of diamond ring, two pieces of suit
ing, and So in county scrip. Deputy
Sheriff Orsborn made the arrest and
escorted his prisoner to the county Jail,
a search resulted in finding the dla-
mond ring in Harry's inside coat
pocket. Sheriff Brdsey arrived from
Jacksonville on Wednesday morning.
Upon being questioned, Harry admit
ed that he took the ring and suit
patterns, the latter he disposed of to
James Smith of this city fer $3.50,
but he denied taking the scrip. A
search of his trunk, however, disclosed
the fact that he was no movie at the
business. It seems that he has been
carrying on a system ofpetty larceny for
some time. His trunk containednumer-
GUS small articles such as silver spoons,
cigars, fishing tackle, perfumery, and
large amount of fine clothing, proba-
blv the value of which is about $500.
Many of the articles were identified
as stolen goods, having been taken
from residents of Jacksonville. The
evidence against him is very strong
and it is doubtful if he will escape
serving a term in the penitentrary.
The arrest Of Harry Preston on the
charge of larceny was great surprise
here as we'll as IN Jacksonville, be is a
young man of about % years of age
and formed the acquaintance of many
friends in Corvallis, and always conduct
ed himselfin in gentlemanly manner. In
Jacksonville he went into the best
society. He came to Corvallis about
two years ago, found employment in
the Leader office, and after working
about a year he went to Jacksonville,
and worked in the Times Office until
about two weeks ago when he re-
turned to Corvallis.

fifty more good cottages could be

our property owners would only take
hold of this matter they could make
good interest on the money invested.

of their property, but when people
come to our city to live amoung us
they should not be turned away for
