The Board of Health held a regular
meeting in the Council chamber last
night and considered the reports of com
mittees on the general health of the bor-
ough and nuisances The members present
were Messrs. Spalding, Miles, McIIale
and Broughall.
Secretary Scanlau stated that there
have been no contagious diseases in the
borough for several weeks, but during
the month of June there was great
increase in the death rate the board hav-
ing received during that period fifty. six
certificates Of death. This increase is due
to the summer sickness which attacks in
fants.
Health Officer Miles reported that he
had made an investigation of the nuis
ance on North White street complained
OF to the Borough Council and located
the source at the Tobak property. The
owner promised to remedy the evil by
connecting the property with sewer and
will begin the work next Monday.
Mr.. Miles also reported that many
other nuisances are in existence in the
borough, but owing to the hardness of
the Council authorities in acting upon
what the Board of Health requests, he
has been unable to enforce the laws as
they should be. In some instances, he
Salu, the VlOlatOrS OF Une law are WnOlly
Indifferent to all notices.
This sentiment brought up discussion
on a nuisance existing on property owned
by member of the BOald of Health, and
for a while there was some pretty plain
talk, in which it was declared that a
membership on the Board was not n bar
to anything the organization is expected
to take in other cases of like character,
and if the member does not abate the evil
he will be proceeded against.
1t was decided to have special meeting
of the Board next Tuesday evening, and
the Sanitary Committe of the Borough
Council will be invited to attend so that
nuisances existing in the borough and
steps to abate them may be considered
jointly.

MIR. watson a Candidate.

After a long and steady pull many
prominent and influential Democrats OF
the county have finally induced Hon. NJ.
c. Watson, of town, to become a candidate
for the nomination for Senator in the
Thirtieth district on the Democratic
ticket and a formal announcement OF
the candidacy appears in another column.
This is one of the most important develop.
men's in the campaign, and it may be de-
pended upon that henCeforth the fight for
the nomination will be n lively one. rs
Mr.. Watson is not only exceedingly popu-
lar and strong among the masses, but also
has the advantages OF experience from a
winning fight for the same office and an
excellent record as a champion of the
workingmen's interests in the State Sen
ate from 1SS6-90, this record being well
known to all readers. Many of the lead
ing Democrats, and in fact other inhuen-
tial and conservative men, have declared
that Mr.. Watson's candidacy would be
the salvation of the Democratic party in
this county next fall, as on account of the
great depression it must be expected
that the Democratic vote will fall off,
but with Watson as candidate
the party will more than likely be able 90
hold the vote through his great popu-
larity with the working classes and en-
able the Democrats to at least elect a
Senator. Mr.. Watson's candidacy is not
the result of a sudden thought, but follows
calm deliberation, and now that he is in
the fight he will remain in it TO win.

SUPP. Shaw held teachers examina-
ton at the Normal the first of the
week. There were AZ applicants for
certificates. 1t was remarked by one
of the'oldest and best known educat-
ors of this part of the state that the
teachers of today present a striking
improvement over those of ten or tif-
teen years ago in personal appearance
and professional bearing. This is no
doubt true. Several causes have con-
tributed to bring about this result.
First, the growth of the country and
the consequent improvement in man
ner of living, enables the inhabitants
to give more attention to self culture
ard less attention to the difficult task
OF making a living in a pioneer coun-
try. Second, the general improve
ment of the country has enabled the
district schools to advance accord
ingly. This movement is not peculiar
to this locality, but common to the
greater part of the country and espec-
tally the Northwest. There are few
communities, if any, where ? most
decided improvement has not been
made in the schools in materia equip
ments and methods of teaching in the
last fifteen years. A third cause, and
one peculiar TO this community, is the
presence OF the State Normal School.
The influence of the Normal in this
locality since 1875 has doubtless been
such as to make a marked improve
ment in the personal appearance and
professional bearing of the teachers of
the present time over those OF ten
or fifteen years ago.
