School Board Ousted,

The petition presented by the citizens
OF Centralia asking that their school
board be ousted was heard before Judge
Herring on Tuesday. He handed down
a decision ousting the present board and
appointing In their stead six other direc-
tors. The trouble arose two years ago,
when Professor j. II. Eisenhower was
contracted with to act as principal OF
the borough schools for three years.
He taught one year, when a new board
was elected, who refused to recognize
the action OF the former board and ap-
pointed another principal.
Mr.. Eisenhower brought suit for the
years salary and obtained judgment.
lie applied for the position again this
this year, when the board again refused
to appoint him. The schools, which
should have been opened September /,
were kept closed until tho present time
while the question was argued pro and
con. Tho citizens became tired OF this
and last Saturday petitioned the court
to oust the board and appoint their
successors, which was done.

condition that they be given the use OF

the banks bonds or default in their
bondsmen, will mulct the treasury and
the people instead of the treasurers
The act referred to is a concession to
popular opinion created largely by
Democratic platforms, Democratic
newspapers and Democratic stump ora
tors, but it is far from being as safe
for and profitable to the state as was
an act originating with the Democrats
in 1883. and passed by the legislature
of that year and approved by the then
governor, Robert E. Pattison. That act
was known as the Humes' sinking fund
actand provided that when state bonds
were not to be had the surplus moneys
in the sinking fund should be invested
in United States bonds. 1t was the GUS
tom in those days to carry the big end
of the balances in the sinking fund
presumably because, when moneys go
into that fund, there is no legal way of
getting them out again. except to paw
the states bonded debt, and having
large sums there insured large sums for
distribution among the banks There
were about $2,500.00 then in the sink
Ing fund, and not quite as much in the
general fund. Senator Humes (Demo-
craft the father of the act, pointed out
that 900 of the sinking fund bal
ance, which was not needed to take up
bonds, could be utilized to save the state
during the term the bonds then out
standing had to run from one to three
and half millions. The bill was fierce
ly fought by the retaners of the Re-
publican machine in both houses, and
did not pass the lower body until the
night before the adjournment. when it
did not have a single vote to spare.
However. as already stated, it was
signed by Governor Pattison and be-
came a law. For eight years it remain
81 In operation, and it is the testimony,
both of those who had to do with the
execution of the act and of the books,
that 1t operated largely to the advan-
tage of the treasury. 1t brought the
state considerably more than 11h or 2
per cent on its moneys that would 9TH
erwise have been farmed out to the
banks gratis, and it involved absolute
ly no possibility of loss.
Its repeaf was not actual, but vir-
tual. 1t was not manly, but tricky,
after the manner of all the doings of
the machine. In 1891 legislation was
had largely lessening the flow of money
into the sinking fund, so that there re-
manned in that fund practically nothing
to be invested under the Humes act.
This was not because the balances car
ried were any less. In fact, they were
larger in that year and the year fol-
lowing than ever before or since. But
they were kept mainly in the general
fund, and the banks got them again,
ana the machine treasury and the ma
chineites reveled correspondingly.

that. when the Democrats are in, they
do real reform work, and that the
great ado recently made in so-called
independent reform circles touching the
debauchery of our politics through ma
nipulation of the state deposits is a
very old story to the workers of the
Democratic party.

ing, October Is, of witnessing the strik-
ing musical comedy, 1.-The Real Widow
Brown" which is under the well known
management of A. Q. Scammon, who
has under his direction some OF the most
successful plays on the road. 1.-The
Real Widow Brown created great
sensation when first produced abroad
and has met with unprecedented success
in this country, where it sprang into in
Simultaneous popularity. The real widow
is charming impersonation of her class
The mistakes and complications which
arise from another endeavoring to fill
her position are ludicrous in the ex-
treme. The entire company is compos-
ed OF clever people; the comedy is full of
clean, wholesome fun, nothing sugges-
tive or vulgar in the whole play; the
specialties are neat, aud of high order
of merit, everything first-class having
been selected regardless of expense to
the management. The opportunity of
seeing them should not be neglected.
1.-The Real Widow Brown" will charm
all who pass the evening with her.
Performance commences promptly at
O'Clock. Ample time to take cars for
all points on the North Side.

How IA Peasant Washed the Tiger.


A story is told, in La France du
Nord, about a Cossack, ignorant Of
the French language and equally
ignorant of fear, who was hired,
at Moscow, by the lion-tamer,
Pezon, to clean the cages of his
wild beasts. says Emily Mayer
Higgins, in Lippincott's Magazine.
Their understanding, or misunder-
standing, was arranged by means
Of gestures and dumb show, as that
unfortunate Tower Of Babel hindered
Ineligible speech, and Pezon thought
that the man thoroughly understood
what he had to do. The next morn
ing the Tartar began his new duties
by entering, with bucket, sponge and
broom, not the cage of tame beast,
as his master had done, but of
splendid, untamed tiger. The fierce
animal fixed his eyes upon the man,
who calmly proceeded to wet his large
sponge, and to approach the tiger.
At this moment Pezon appeared
upon the scene, and was struck with
horror. Any sound or motion upon
his part would intensity the danger by
rousing the beast to fury; so he quiet
ly waited till the need should arise to
rush to the mans assistance.
The moujik, sponge in hand, ap-
preached the animal, and, perfectly
fearless, proceeded to rub him down,
as if he had been a horse or dog:
while the tiger, apparently delighted
by the application Of cold water, roll
ed over on his back, stretched out its
paws, and, purring. offered every part
of his body to the Cossack, who
washed him as complacently as a
mother bathes her infant. Then he
left the cage, and would have repeated
the hazardous experiment upon anoth-
er savage from the desert had not Pc
zon drawn him off. with difficulty.

a Stream OF AIT IS Forced Out OF luDe
in Such a Way as to Bore a Hole Through
the Fog-By the Use oft Pilots Can Pick
Up Buoys in Foggy Weather.
The latest invention is a fog dis
peller. The apparatus consists of
horizontal outlook pipe eight feet in
length and eight inches in diameter.
At the mouth of the tube is wide
flange; the rear end is covered with
thick disc Of glass. About two feet
from the rear end pipe enters the
tube from below, at an obtuse angle
with the forward section.
This connection is made through a
sort of turntable, which permits the
outlook tube to be pointed in any di-
rection desired, up or down, from one
side to the other. The pipe below con-
meets with blower down in the vessel.
When the dispeller is in use, the
blower sends powerful stream of air
up through the pipe into the tube, and
the current hurtles into the fog, bor-
ing hole through it, as it were.
The action of the suspended moisture
is twofold. The fog is rolled back in
| every dlrectlon, the high pressure or
the blast produces cooling influence.
| the moisture in suspension condenses
and falls in rain. A great cone Of
clear atmosphere, with it's apex at the
mouth Of the tube, results.
The eye of the pilot is at the glass
at the rear of the tube, and he gazes
into the bowels Of the fog. With its
aid pilot can readily pick up his
buoys in fog, and keep an eye out
for vessels ahead.
With a powerful blower, the invent
or hopes to make the fog-dispeller use
full at 1000 feet.
No claims is made that the dispeller
would be practical except when the
vessel is going at slow rate of speed,
which is customary when there is fog
gy weather.
