TIE BOARD PLEADS GUILTY.


The most interesting case before the court
this week was that Of the Blythe Township
School Board on the charge of misdemeanor
in Office. The trial was begun Thursday be-
fore Judge Bechtel, and some startling iu-
formation has been developed.
The most interesting witness was Michael
Brennan, the former secretary of the Board.
He testified that no record of the meetings
of the Board was kept and that himself and
the Directors got divvy out of every order
that was issued. In 1891 when orders were
drawn for paying the teachers for attending
county institute, the Directors put the money
iu their pockets, the teachers getting nothing
Brennan also testified that out of an order
for STA, in favor of Matthew Wheelen each
Director received $40. On August T. 1894, an
order was drawn for $3.50 in favor of the
Board for expenses to Pottsville. Shortly
before this an order was drawn for nearly
$500 to pay for preparing plans and superiu-
tending the erection Of a new school building.
out of this deal. witness said, every member
of the Board who had relative teaching in
the district received So each, while witness
and Kenna, who had no one teaching, Ee-
ccived SOS each. Another order was drawn
in favor of Bernard Dougherty for $50 for
repairing school buildings. Out of this order
each Director received S25.
Brennans testimony implicated all the
Directors, and when questioned as to whether
he had been offered reward for making his
confession, replied mo, sir; expect to go
to Jail with the rest of them"
The case took an unexpected turn yester-
day afternoon, when the defendants with
drew the plea of not guilty and entered
one of guilty. Mr. Wadlnger asked sus-
pension of sentence fora reasonable time to
give the defendants opportunity to arrange
their affairs. District Attorney Bechtel
agreed to a suspension until after the case
against the auditors was disposed of. Finally
it was agreed to suspend sentence until No
vember Both, each defendant to give $1,000
bail for his appearance at that time.
Judge Bechtel said the question of restitu-
ton would be considered. The institute
money retained from the teachers should be
restored to them. The law says it belongs to
them and they should receive it.

With the return of cool weather hosts of
men and women who relied on their summer
vacation to make them strong and well came
home still tired, with poor appetites and de-
pressed by the thought of the months of hard
work ahead.
Their roverwrought nerves and bodies to-day
demand something more than mere rest
Their blood needs to be swept of its impurities
and the entire nervous organization reinforced
and built up by genuine invgorator before
good appetite will wait on digestion and
health on both.
The bracing weather of November with de-
biitating summer past, and the severity of
winter not yet arrived, is the very best time
for recruiting the strength and getting rid of
disease. Contrast the healthy, well nourished
appearance of persons who have taken Paine's
celery compound with their former bloodless,
nerveless, drowsy condition Men and women
getting along in years find a remarkable
increase in vigor and brighter, more cheer
ful state of mind from the use of this great
remedy.
Don't NOPE along and submit to indiges-
ton, liver disorder, continual headaches or
rheumatism. Paine's celery compound will
make you strong and keep you so. Its nour-
ishing, health making virtues have been so
carefully considered, and so exactly fitted to
the needs of the tired, exhausted body, that
its work does not have to be done after it.

Paine's celery compound always provides
throughout the body, even to the minutest
nerve filaments and blood capillaries
David Hirsch, the well-known Broadway
merchant, New York city, writes as follows
to Wells, Richardson & Co:
II am advocating Paines celery compound
among my many friends, because it has done
me so much good in a very short space of
time. / have been suffering for years from
indigestion and all its consequent ills, sleep
lessness included. | had lost about 80 pounds
in weight, and was getting weaker and more
nervous every day | was unable to stand
exertions of any kind, and l used convey
ances for every short distance.
After taking two bottles of Paine's celery
compound I feel in every respect better,
stronger, more cheerful and willing to live.
1 will certainly never forget the efforts of
Paine's celery compound upon my system,
and wish to state that l am now past 6s
years of age. l have travelled most all ever
the world, and now feel l can keep ON doing
it and also enjoy it,"
Paine's celery compound has done as much
for thousands of others.
