TREASURER OF SCHOOL BOARDS.

The legal decision emanating from
the Supreme Court that a school dir.
ector cannot be the treasurer of the
school board will necessitatc change
in more places than Bloomsburg. In
fact we think as rule this official has
heretofore been chosen from the mem
bership of the board. The change vii
no doubt be of good effect.
There is in fact generally too much
disregard of either law or equity in
filling the minor Offices. Whether com
patible or incompatible is seldom TAX
en- into the consideration in the rural
districts, where it frequently happens
that the man who can get the most
holes the most offices, and his sover.
eign right to do SO is seldom question:
ed if he gets the majority vote for the
Office.

PROF. OALEF,s TEST.
Drives Blindfoldcd TO Addison G. Mars S
Law Office.

Prof. Calef gave one of his cele.
brated driving tests between 1890 and
1880 to-day in the presence of a
large number Of people. He drove
from the City hotel down Shamokin
street to Independence and in ten
minutes from the time Of leaving the
hotel he found ten cent piece, which
had been placed in a sliding panel in
A. G.. Marr's law office. The great
and myStfying performance was greet
ed with applause Everything per.
tanning to the test was honorably per-
formed.
At 1880 Messrs. Henry Hover Of
the Daily No,oS, Lawyer J. Q. Adams,
II. G. Steel and J. F. Haas, of the
Daily Uerald, entered Prof. Calefs
room at the City. Mr.. Adams, as
notary public had the committee of
above gentlemen, including himself,
affirm that they would perform their
duty honestly to themselves and Prof.
Calef. A double carriage was in wait
ing and Messrs, Adams, Steele and
Hoover left the room to hide an arti-
Gle. Mr.. Haas guarded the professor.
Mr.. Adams and party drove down
Shamokin street and stopped at Shiss-
ler's drug store, after which they drove
down Spurzheim to Rock and Indepen-
dence and placed the ten-cent piece
as has been already stated.
Then they drove to the hotel and
were admitted to the room by Mr..
Haas, after which the mind reader
was blindfolded. A map of the bor
ough suspended from the wall. The
professor, with lead pencil, traced
the route traversed by the committee
and pointed the exact block and lot
on which Mr.. Marrs office stood.
While doing the tracing the mind
reader grasped each of the committee
mans hand alternately.
The entire party left the room and
entered the conveyance. The profes
sor drove and stopped for brief
period at Dreher's Bros, Chris Lessig's
and N. Schr elders after which he
entered Mr.. Marr's Office and while
holding Mr.. Adams hand made the
marvellous discovery. Tomorrow
night he performs in the Opera House.
The above is taken from the Sham
okin Herald of last Saturday. Prof.
Calef will give entertainments in the
Opera House next Monday and Tues
day nights, and will give his wcnder-
full driving test on Monday at IL
o'clock noon, starting from the Elk
change Hotel. The evening enter
tainments consist of mind reading,
sleight Of hand, spiritulistic exposures,
and other similar feats. Prices, IS,
IS and 50 cents.

FOR THE U. 8. SENATE.
Capt g, A. Ashe Announces H1mseiI
Candidate for Vance's Seat.

Cant g. A. Asbe Announces Himself q
Candidate for Vance's Seat.
To THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE OF
NORTH CAROLINA:
| Having never been a candidate be-
| fore you, / now announce myself with
| out hesitation.
| Ioffer myself for the seat in the
| United States Senate made vacant by
| the death of Senator Vance. In do
| ing this, 1 do not antagonize either of
the present Senators, but aspire to an
office that neither of them seeks.
Thestwo great questions involved in
the Chicago platform were Tariff Re
form and Financial Reform. The tar
1T bill just passed does not fully meet
expectations, and | favor slch modlh-
cations Of it as will deprive every
trust and combine of any advantage IL
allows.
On the tariff, and on most subjects,
/ stand with our Democratic Presi-
dent, and give him a cordial and zeal
Gus support. l regret not to be able
to agree with him in his financial pol
icy. Financial reform is of the most
pressing Importance, and | favor i'm
mediate action in respect to that
matter.
To many the result of the first reg
ular session of our Democratic Con
gress has been something of dlsap-
pOi1tment. DisappOintments come
to all parties. The Republican party
is at present disappointed at the re-
peal of the Mckinley tariff law; at the
enactment of an income tax; at the
repeal of the law placing our elections
under supervision of Federal Mar
shals; at the continued supremacy of
the Democrats in the Southern States
aud their full accession to power at
Washington, and at the complete fill
ure of Republican plans and purposes.
Our disappointments are but tenn,
porary in their nature. They should
make US the more determined to press
onward until the principles of the
Democratic party are fully carried in
to Operation-tO the lasting benefit
and advantage of the people, and TO
the glory of our country. In this
cause l have already spent many
years of my life, and | shall esteem it
a privilege to continue my work in
the new field and high station to
which 1 aspire. L therefore solicit
your favor and support, trusting that
you may esteem me worthy to repre-
sent you in the Senate Chamber, and
l beg my friends, wherever they may
be, who favor my election, to be &C
tive in urging it. S. A. AsHE.

WINSTON TOBACCO MARKET
The Tobacco Jourr ais Review for the

The Tobacce Jourr ais Review for the
Week Ending Aug. 25sh
The sales of leaf tobacco on this
market during the past week have not
been large. and appearances indicate
that the old crop is giving out of
planters hands and we cannot expect
large receipts this year again. The
quality is about IS usual. Some fine
grades of dark wrappers and filters
have been on the breaks, but the com
mon grades still predominant. Prices
have heen well sustained on all classes
of leaf.
The new crop is now being harvested
and cured, and some really bright,
clear stock has appeared on sales and
give promise of as fine bright crop as
was ever marketed. The weather is
now dry and warm, and just suits the
planters at this season for curing
brights, and while the acreage is I'M
dnubtedly short of the usual planting,
the quality of the crop will pay the
planter more handsomely than If
full crop had been realized.
Prices of the new are satisfactory to
sellers, and the bright color Is warmly
welcomed by the buyers.
