Farmer" Kulp, the recently elected
Congressman from Northum-
berland county, is missing. Mr.. Kulp and
Wellington Bertolett, superintendent for
the P. & r. R. r., with headquarters at
Reading, are warm old-time friends. Mr..
Bertolettwas so well pleased over Kulp's
election that on Wednesday he hired the
Germania Band of Reading and took it to
Shamokin by special car. The "Farmer"
was serenaded uproariously all day and
when the band started for the train he
accompanied it. He has not been seen
since. His Shamokin friends are not
worried. They say he is probably recuper-
ating in Reading from the exhaustion at
tending the labors of the campaign. Mr..
Kulp will be the youngest man in the
next Congress.

TOWNSHIP
SCHOOL WAR
Teachers Dispute the Authority of
One of Their Number.
THE SALARIES STOPPED !
II is Charged That Scheme is on Foot
to Build Extra Pay for a School
Board FavOrite.

War has been decl lred between the
School Board of West Mahanoy township,
the principal of the schools and several of
the teachers, and has ledlto a law suit by
the latter to recover salaries due. The
trouble arises over the disputed authority
of one of the teachers to act as superinten-
dent of the schools in that district.
1t seems that the teachers are provided
with blank forms upon which they are
expected to make their monthly reports.
According to an arrangement with the
board, Prof, Gallagher, the principal Of
the Lost Creek schools, was authorized to
visit all the schools in the township and
receive these reports.
Several of the teachers in the Browns
vile school claim the blanks are addressed
to the School Board of the township and
following the address, they sent the re-
ports direct to that body, not recogniz-
ing Prof. Gallagher as supervising prin
cipal, or superintendent. Prof Gallagher
felt slighted and complained to the board,
whereupon that body decided to withhold
the pay of all teachers who failed to hand
over their reports to the principal.
Among the teachers affected by this
action was J. Claude Brown. Last night
he came to Shenandoah and instituted
suit before Justice Dengler to recover the
salary which is withheld from him. The
case will be heard at ten clock tomorrow
morning and it is expected the hearing
will be very inter sting one.
The teachers who have taken the stanC
against the principal practically claim
that Prof Gallagher is enjoying what
some people call plumbers cinch, ant
that the monthly trips to gather up thu
reports is simply color duty INDUCED il
to show that the principal earns $3.50 ex
ira annually. It is also claimed that tn,
| School Board has no power to create
superintendency; that County Superin
tendent Weiss has direct supervision o
all township schools in the county, anC
any authority given by the School Boart
to Prof. Gallagher to assume the superin
tendency is illegal. Prof. Gallagher, the
teachers say, may supervise che school al
| Lost Greek, but cannot interfere with any
other school in the district.

A PATHETIC CASE.
Husband Mangled in the Mines, Wife
on the Ocean.

Anthony Buchinski, Pole, residing on
Chestnut street, was carried to the Lehigh
Valley depot on feather bed this morn
ing and placed on train for Ashland,
and from that place was hauled in an
ambulance to the Miners hospital at
Fountain Springs.
While Buchinsld tosses on a couch in
the hospital his wife and two children are
on a steamship bound from Europe to
this country. 1t is their intention to join
the husband and father here by next
Saturday They are ignorant of the
accident'which has befallen their beloved
one. When be was at work in breast of
the Maple Hill colliery yesterday a large
piece of coal fell without warning and
crushed him under its great weight.
Other men working in the place hastened
TO the rescue with picks, bars and shovels
and succeeded in rescuing the man alive,
but terribly mangled. Three of his ribs
on the left side were crushed and the
back, legs and arms were terribly lacer-
ated. 1t is thought the injuries may prove
fatal The victim is thirty years of age.
The situation of the wife and children
will be a sad one when they get here.

Keen II Un.

While the general result Of Tuesdays
election was mainly due to an upheaval
in the ranks of the people, there was suf-
ficient in it to demonstrate the value and
effect of good organization, especially in
the local political field. The good work
should be continued and it is hoped the
Shenandoah Republican League will re-
main in harness and settle down at once
for effective work. II it does the Repub-
lican party will be heard from to good eff
feet in the Spring election.

NO TRACE OF GOFF.
The Embezzlement May Amount to More
Than Reported.

The ENLIGHTENMENT May Amount to More
Than Reported.
Notwithstanding the Singer Manufac-
turing Company has taken prompt steps
to run him down, no trace of John w.
Golf, the company's escaped defaulting
Tamaqua agent, has been secured. But
the failure to make a re. e.capture does not
seem to worry the representatives of the
company to any great extent. They say
that all hopes of getting back the
money Golf embezzled are gone, as
he has nothing with which to
make restitution, and that in the event
of another arrest the balance OF the pro
ceedings will be a mere matter of form at
tending a prosecution and conviction be
fore the court at Pottsville The company
is confident that Golf will turn up some
day aud it will not go to any great ex-
pense to run him down. The amount
Golf embezzled was reported as being
1914, but it is believed a checking of lists
will greatly increase that figure. The
amount given is confessed.

MANGLED BODY FOUND.
Picked Up on the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Near DelanO.

Near Delan0.
The crew of the Lehigh Valley pas
senger train that left here east bound at
73S O'Clock this morning made a CHASTITY
discovery on the railroad between Delauo
and Lofty. About three hundred yards
ahead of his train Engineer Ben. Waters
saw the body of man lying in a heap on
the track He applied the breaks and
stopped the train few yards from
the body. Baggagemaster Henry
Correll ran ahead and turned the
body over. 1t was frozen stiff
and had to be rolled to bring the face
to view. The head was terribly crushed
and the body had evidently been on the
track several hours. 1t was picked up
and placed on the train. At Hazleton the
body was placed in the freight station to
await identification Nothing was found
by which the body could be identified,
The body W q evidently that Of Pole
or a Hungarian, and was dressed in a
miners suit. In one of the pockets the
crew of the train found two dollars. 1t is
supposed the man tried to jump on coal
train some time last night aud was killed
without being observed by any of the
crew.

Remarkable Experience Of one
of Names Oldest Physicians.

Experience is rough school but from
it we derive all that is practical in life.
Experience accumlates with age, but age
alone does not signify experience. DR..
VIM. H Work Of Arson, Maine, had
battled with disease for twenty-seven
years, and no doubt. was frequently the
victor But when his little girl, twelve
years Of age, developed Scrofula humor,
he found all his medical experience pow
eress to stay its ravages. She had
Scrofua punches and sores on her neck
and her blood was thoroughly saturated
with the poison. What made her cure
even more discouraeing was that three OF
her cousins had died from the effects ct
ocrofula humor. After several Years trial

cases by the medical profession, without
this child receiving the least Der et1t, DIR.
Work became a thoroughly discouraged
man He became skeptical OF the powers
of medicine TO cure this disease. HIS
daughter strength wasted away slowly
but surely, every day finding her weaker
than bcf )re. At this time a messenger
of hope entered his home in the shape OF
paper, in which several prominf Mt
physicians endorsed and recommended

year in the same fut, but sad to relate,
are more common among physicians than
in any other profession, He is progress
siye and believes that we live in an age
of discovery and improvement. If, he
argued, this remedy was not OF value and
a great Improvement over all others for
this disease, it would not be used and
endorsed by so many prominent physl-
clans He boughta bottle and we will
give the result in his own words after
using the first bottle we found to our
happy disappointment that our child was

We were confident that we had found

Six bottles completed the cure. Why,
gentlemen, have practiced medicine for
twenty -seyen years and | fully acknowl-
edge never used a medicine that works
in the blood, clearing it and carrying OFT
the impurities, as does Rodolis New

physicians would say that this cure was
IRREGULAR because the remedies are
advertised. But this class Of men are
happily growing less each day. Progress
sive physicians at present do not inquire
what school Of medicine gave birth to the
remedy. but what will it do. by this
standard Rodolf's New Medical Discovery
is entitled to high rank among aerofula
cures and blood purifiers
