Wednesday Clerk Grimm and De-
tective Daugherty went down to the
home of krissinger to look for the hid
den knife. They went to the apple
tree referred to by krissinger and
found it in a hole in the tree.
krlsslngcr says the men who say
they saw blood on his shirt were
mistaken, but he showed blood on

1t is thought he lied about the

put it on again.

Attempted Suicide,

Last Thursday Miss Netta Gem
berling, daughter of Amos Gember-
ling, one of the Stalwart citizens of
Penn township, attemptedto commit
suicide by trying to shoot herself.
The ball was evidently aimedat her
heart, but failed to penetrate her
her pericardium. lfblood poison
ing does not set in she may recover.
The cause of her rash act is presum-
ed to be some real or imaginary ills.
One of the reasons that rumor is
parading about is that she wished to
to join the Christian Endeavor So
ciety at Salem and as it would
make it necessary for her to 90 alone
in the evening galong the public high
way, her father objected. This is
stated as one OF the reasons why she
attempted to take her life. She is
able to walk around.

the regular meeting called for or
ganization on the first Monday of
June, each year shall fix time for
the beginning Of the provisions Of
this Act.
A change was likewise made in
the period ofcompulsory attendance.
Formerly it was sixteen weeks, now
1t is 10 per cent. of the term; in
other words districts having a six
month term will have compulsory
period of 81 days, those having a
seven-month term, 9S days, compul-
sory and those having an eight
month term, il2 days compulsory.
The act does not apply to children
between the ages of thirteen and
sixteen who are regularly engaged
in any useiilcmploymcnt or service.
Farmers and all mechanics and ar
tisans possessed of children between
IL and l6 years Of age can avail
themselves of the services OF their
children in corn husking, etc. with
out violating the provisions of this
act. Still it is to be hoped that each
parent will consider the welfare of
his child to such an extent that he
will deny himself OF the services of
his child on the farm and shop ny
much as he possibly can, SO that the
boy or girl may embrace the privi-
leges and opportunities of the school.
Parents can give no richer legacy to
their children than the opportunity
to get a good education. While
their detention from school to assist
in housing the crops, chopping and
hauling the wood may add very
materially the present convenience
and comfort and in many cases, /
doubt not but what their services
are an actual necessity, still my
heart is filled with sorrow when |

Clerk Grimm and Detective
Daugherty, incompany with Coroner
Shindel and Commissioner Cope,
went to the scene of the murder
Tuesday morning Of last week and
spent nearly all day there making
Investigations and securing evidence
that might lead to the conviction of
the murderer. After returning to
Sunbury Mr.. Grimm and Detective
Daugherty went to the Jail and en-
tered the cell where krissinger was
confined. Before going there Mr..
Grimm borrowed a Barlow knife
at Hackett's hardware store, that
was like the one Mrs. Bahncr de-
scribed as having sold To krissinger

have found your knife" Thi,took
krissinger 50 suddenly that he at
once got excited and asked, "Whcre
did YOU find it," Grimm -aid,
just where YOU lost it,, to which
the prisoner replied, Did YOU find
it at the apple tree near the shanty':'
The controversy went along in
that way until krjsSingor told where
the knife was hidden. Grimm then
said to him, "kriSsinger, why did
YOU kill Daisy:' Replying to this
question krissinger made Il clear
breast and told the whole story,
which is as follows:
Il started out about 10 o'clock
Monday morning to 90 hunting, |
took my gun aud dog and went up
the hill. After | got up there | fir
ed load out of my gun to call in
my dog. Immediately after firing |
spied Daisy Smith in the field near
bv. She said that shouldn tshoot
around there as might get arrested
for illegal hunting. Some words
passed between US about the matter
OF shooting and got angry and pull
ed up my gun and shot at her. She
fell to the ground and screamed and
| ran up to her and killed her. She
got up after | cut her throat and
staggered around few steps and
then tell. then went home
There is reason for believing that
there was motive in the criminals
mind, but the nature Of it has thus
tar been kept secret. 1t will pro-
badly not come out until given it to
the court when the case is heard.
Friday afternoon District Attorney
Shipman came to Sunbury from Sha-
mokin and twas thought advisable,
since the confession was made
known, to have a formal hearing
and commitment.
The prisoner was consequently
taken to Justice Shipman's office
