TOPICS OF THE TIMES
The School Boards Latest Real
Estate Purchase,
ARRANGEMENT OF THEDEAL
The Real Purchaser Was Kept In the
Background to Prevent specu-
latlon and an Increase In
Price.

The announcement that the School Board
had purchased the two lots on North White
street that were owned by O. e. Ttman
and are now covered with ruins of the dis
astrous fire on the 1st inst, was a surprise
to many people and some are bothering
their minds over the method by which the
purchase was made. The procedure was
perfectly authorized at regular meeting
of the board, although this fact did not
become generally known 1t was reported
to the board that the property could be
purchased for $1,000, but the offer was not
sent TO the board. 1t was made to an in
dividual Experience of the past had
taught the school directors that to let the
public know the School Board wanted to
purchase a site for a school building melted
competition and speculation and caused
owners to raise prices Consequently it was
decided to conduct this transaction differ
ent to the methods by which others were
governed and 7. r.. Beddall, Esq, the
solicitor for the board, was instructed at the
last meeting of the board to make alb ar
gain for the property as attorney and make
deposit on the contract without disclos-
ing the real purchaser. This Mr.. Beddall did
and it was not until after he had the bargain
for the purchase legally tied that it became
known why the lawyer wanted the prop
erty. AS to the wisdom of the purchase
there can be no doubt. People excellently
acquainted with local real estate say that
the price is by no means high and that the
purchase is a good speculation, if nothing
else. However, the deal is not of a specula'
tive character, but move to take time by
| the forelock. Under the recently enacted
compulsory education law there is nj
doubt that the number of attend
ants at the public schools will be
increased by at least one thousand and
under such circumstances the School Boart
would find itself pressed to furnish ac
commodations, even after the completion o
the new school building at the corner o
Jardin and Cherry streets. To make ;
hunt for and purchase of property afte
the time of necessity arrived would sub
ject the board to the mercy of propert!
owners and it would be lucky in securing
a site at from IS, 600 to 100000 The boarC
had an option on another property ol
North White street, close to the one it pur
chased and discussed the matter at lengtl
before taking final action, but it was de
cided that the location and price was no
as favorable as the conditions attached t
the property it purchased. The board will
not put the property into immediate use
1t will take time to figure on the probabl
increase in the attendance at the schools
so that the board may be guided in decid
ing upon the style and size of building re
quired This purchase was in grea
measure the incentive for the issuance @
SIC, 900 which the board decided upon at it
last meeting. Half of the issue is to b

to be paid for the property.

Some of our contemporaries who are busy
predicting the evil the Quay county bill
will bring to Schuylkill county should wait
and see what a year may bring forth. 1t
is a great mistake to prophesy evil unless
one is absolutely certain of his inspiration
as prophet. We might say that there
will be deluge of frogs next year and that
the Republican frogs will swallow up the
Democratic frogs or that the clouds will all
have a silver lining-that would not make
it certain. We might say that if the
Democratic convention straddles currency
bicycle or fails to declare for silver certain
well-known Democrats will bolt the ticket
that would not make it certain. Let us
wait and see. Sufficient unto the day is
the evil thereof

JUMPED THE SWITCH.
A Little Furry on the Lehigh
Railroad.
CARS ALMOST TOPPLED OVER
The Rear Truck Thro wn From the
Rail by a switch Being Turned
Too Quick--Reading Coal
Cars Wrecked.

A disastrous wreck was narrowly averted
at the Pennsylvania junction of the Le-
high Valley railroad in the southern part
of town last evening. The train that ar
rived at the Pennsylvania station from
Pottsville and was due at the Lehigh Val
ley depot at 5:26 pulled up near the turn
table and waited for the train bound from
Shamokln to pass before switching on to
the Lehigh tracks to make the run into
town The Shamokin train came bound
ing from the west and the passengers on
the stationary Pottsville train, with their
heads out at the car windows, were ad-
miring the speed when, suddenly, there was
terrible rattle, noise of crushing
timber, clanking noise, such
as is made by pieces of iron and steel COM
ing in violent and rapid successive contact
with each other. The train bounded on
with the rear car following in hop, skip and
| jump fashion, the rear truck having been
derailed at the switch. Two or three times
the car lurched in such a manner that it
threatened to upset and fall over the en-
bankment and upon the train that was
waiting for clear road. The passengers in
the jumping car were badly frightened and
many of them jumped up and seized the
back of the seats in front of them
in anticipation of tremendous shock,
or a turn over. But, fortunately,
the couplings held fast and the derailed
car was kept up right by the car in front
until the train was brought to a stop, which
was done by the engineer after run of
about three hundred yards past the switch.
The stop could have been made in better
time, but the train proceeded some distance
before the engineer realized what had hap
pened. Many of the passengers of both
trains were considerably excited over the
affair, but became reconciled after the
Shamokin train stopped and they saw that
no person was injured.
An investigation was made at once by
the crews of the train and they concluded
that the switchtender had been too quick
in turning the switch. 1t was turned after
the first truck of the last car had crossed
the switch, but before the second truck got
over it.
Traffic was delayed but short time. The
, Pottsville train and the one bound from
Ashland passed the disabled train by tax
ing the west-bound track and the derailed
truck was soon replaced.

A LICENSE CASE.
Judge Bechtel Holds over Sexton
Anserawicz's Application.

Judge Bechtel Holds over Sexton
Anserawicz's Application.
Several applications for transfers Of
saloon licenses were made before Judge
Bechtel at the Pottsville court yesterday,
among them one by George Anserawicz,
who has been filing the position of sexton
at the Lithuanian cemetery. 1t is queer
change of business, but that did not enter
into the question before Judge Bechtel
The question was an entirely different one
and the court has taken time to consider it,
If the grounds Of the objection to the APP
plication are correct and the court sustains
them, the decision may have bearing on
many applications in the future.
NJ. NJ. Burke, Esq, appeared as counsel
for Mr.. Anserawicz and in support of the
application called to the witness stand
John Doolin, who became possessed of the
license four months ago and is anxious TO-
dispose of it to Mr.. Anserawicz for $3.50.
Mr.. Doolin came from Minersville and
wants to go back to that place He says
the saloon has not been financial success
and his physician advises him that he
must either forfeit the license, or his health.
w. D. Seltzer, Esq, did not disclose the
name of the party he was acting for in
obiecting to the transfer, but it became
quite apparent that his client was Peter
! Puscawitz a former holder of the license.
1t was learned that until few months ago
Puscawicz ran the saloon and was tenant
Of John Bowling, the owner of the prop
erty. which is located on South Main
street. Puscawicz and Bowling disagreed
as to renewal of the lease and it resulted
in the eviction of the former. The license
was then transferred to Doolin and Mr..
Seltzer claimed that at the time the trans
fer was made Doolin stipulated under oath
before the court that he did not ask for the
transfer for the purpose of turning the
place over to anybody else and that ne
would not make a transfer within a year.
Mr.. Seltzer claimed that the transfer forced
from Puscawicz and the application for a
transfer from Doolin was scheme in
: speculation. Judge Bechtel said the court
notes taken at the time of the previous
transfer would show what stipulations
were made and if they showed Doolin had
stipulated not to transfer the place within
year that would settle the matter,
whether there was speculation in connec-
ton with it, or not.

Leon VOLTS Ride,

While Leon Wolf, of Shamokin, was ex.
ercising race horse for H. S. Weaver, of
Montoursville, preparatory to race at
Williamsport, the horse ran away, for a
distance of three miles. Then he jumped
a fence and post sticking above a num-
ber of others struck Wolf on the leg,
knocking his left foot out of the stirrup.
The horse tripped and fell, when Leon was
thrown off and dragged 100 yards with his
other foot in the stirrup, He managed to
work the foot loose when he was struck in
the small of the back with the horses
hind hoofs, and while being dragged the
tendons of Wolf s left leg were sprained,
The doctors say that the young man will
not suffer serious consequences. Wolf is
a son of A. Wolf who was a horse dealer
in this town for several years.

Many newspaper readers have doubtless
missed something as they looked through
their favorite sheet during the last few
weeks with a vague idea that they did not
find all the features that seemed appro-
pirate to the spring season, and they were
right. The great sensation during the
spring of 1894 was CoXeyism and the ''in-
dustrial armies" Many timid people be-
lieved that such outbreaks of tramps
would become a regular thing, and that we
could not expect a spring to pass without a
repetition of last years performances, very
likely on larger scale. The hesitating
and sometimes laundering course which
the authorities at first pursued seemed well
calculated to infect the tramps with the
idea that they were powerful force in the
social organization. But not a CoXeyite
has peeped this year. 1t is as though
there never had been any industrial
armies The net result of all last year S
performances was conviction on part OF
of the tramps that the army idea had
proved fraud, that the people would not
stand it, and that the first men to attempt
a repetition of it this year would suffer
roundly for it. Thus Coxeyism has en-
tirely disappeared.

ABOUT SLEEPLESSNESS.
WHAT IT IS A SIGN OF.
One Of the Most Common Symp.oms of
kidney Disease, Sometimes of
Brain Trouble.
How it Can Be Cured Without Dangerous
Drugs and 0piates.

Sleeplessness is more common than il
should be.
1t Is sign of dangerous sickness which
may turn out badly.
Sieeplessness means either one or both
OF two things: First, kidney trouble
second brain trouble.
But if there is brain trouble, it is prob
ably complication of the kidney trouble.
Bright's disease, the most dangerous
kidney trouble there is. is generally ac-
conpanied by sleeplessness.
Nine times out of ten the snfferer from
brlght disease doesn't find out that be
mas it until it is almost too late to he
cured
The symptoms are so like unimportant
sicknesses that yon don't think you need
doctor, and so things go on until the
doctor can't help you.
Even then DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney
Pills would probably be able to cure you.
But that is another matter.
To return to sleeplessness.
NO one can do without sleep for more
than few days
sleeplessncss is drain on your brain
and your vitality. Il must be stopped or
something will give away.
DIR. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills will
cure sleeplessness.
They do it by curing the kidneys, BY
taking away the cause CT the whole trou-
BILE, by purifying the blood.
Asparagus has a special effect on the
Kidneys as every one who has eaten it
knows.
This effect is strengthened and made
more powerful in DR.. Hobbs Sparasus
Kidney Pills
If it is your kidneys which cause your
sleeplessness, DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kid
ney Pills will cure it by toning them up
and giving them fresh life and strength.
If it is your BRAIN by cleansing and re-
newlng the blood through the improved
action of the kidneys, DR.. Hobbs Spara-
gus Kidney Pills will cure the brain by
giving 1t fresh nourishment and new
life.
To be healthy and to do your best
work, you must have enough sleep.
When you are losing it, Il few doses of
DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills will
cure you and bring rest to your tired body
and mind.
Besides sleeplossness, the symptoms of
kidney trouble arc headache, nervousness
shortness of breath, evil forebodings, loss
OF flesh, swelling of the feet and ankles
pain in the back.
All these symptoms are caused by sick
kidneys. All of them can be cured by
DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills.
When no other drugs or medicine will
give you relief DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kid
ney Pills will. The preparation of As
paragus from which they are made (and
which is made by special process for
these pills. has never been known to fail
