Foster School Districts Report.

The auditors statement of the inan-
cial standing of Foster township school
district appears in the TRIBUNE today.
The showing made by the board is re-
markable, when it is considered that
the taxes collected. due to the decreas-
ed valuation of the township, were
several thousand dollars less than in
previous years.
Had the revenue last year been as
great as that received by the boards of
recent years, Foster directors would now
have handsome balance in their treas
ury.
1t is the intention of the present
board to live, il possible, within its
means, and at the same time give the
pupils nine months schooling next term.
As soon as the tax duplicate is receiv-
ed from the county commissioners, the
directors will estimate their probable
expenses for the ensuing year and ex-
pend the money accordingly.

Bursting Dam Floods Mine.

A big rush of water into the Mt.
Lookout mine on Tuesday night threat
ened the lives of number of employees.
The men escaped, but the flow continu-
ed for some time. Then it was dis
covered that basin holding about
2,0O0,0 600 gallons had emptied into the
workings, which are located near
Wilkesbarre.
About two years ago ''pothole" was
discovered in the mine, which was the
cause of q great cavein, general sink
ing of the surface and heavy flood in
the mine. In order to stop the flow of
water dam of solid masonry was built
and this has since been confining about
1000, 900 gallons of water
An investigation next morning reveal
ed the fact that the coal alongside the
dam had cracked and through this aper-
ature the water is pouring and flooding
the veins lower than the shaft. 1t will
be necessary now to erect another wal
to stop the flow.

''Only recently it was ascertained
that spontaneous combustion in a pile
of government coal stored in Honolulu
threatened the destruction of the entire
stock, nearly 100000 tons, and when
finally extinguished large quantity
of coal had been rendered practically
useless by the heat and water.
''1n view of the many serious dangers
and losses which result from the use Of
soft coal for such purposes, it would
seem desirable that the navy depart
ment should make series of tests of
anthracite, which is absolutely free
from all danger of spontaneous combus-
tion, to see whether, under proper con-
ditions, it would not perform as salts
factory service under the boilers as does
soft coal. 1t is claimed that anthracite
is not suitable for such work, but since
no thorough trials have been made,
there is not any ground upon which to
base such assertions.
1.-The only records of using anthracite
on board naval vessels, on file in the de-
partment, are those of years ago, or
of sporadic attempts made with Il few
tons, on CRATES not adapted to the coal,
and fired by men who were accustomed
only to flaming Goals. 1t is manifestly
unjust and unreasonable to point to
these, as has been done, and attempt TO
prove by them that anthracite is not
satisfactory and would not be when the
conditions as to area of CRATE and skill
of firing were as much in its favor as
they are now in that of soft coal"

500 Reward, 800,

The readers Of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages and that is
catarrh. Halls catarrh cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being constitu-
tional disease requires a constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation OF
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.
The proprietors have 80 much faith in
its curative powers. that they offer one
hundred dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

Sons of Veterans Encampment.

The nineteenth annual encampment
of the Pennsylvania Sons of Veterans
opened Tuesday morning at Hazleton
with 100 delegates present, Division
Colonel Moultrop, of Dubois, presiding.
The first business taken up was the
presentation of officers reports. The
total state membership, according to
these reports, is 6,75O, made up of fifty
camps, gain of 1,2OO members and ten
camps since last years. Over s., 500 was
spent for relief during the year and
forty deaths occurred The order is
free of debt, balance of $50 remaining
in the treasury after the payment of all
expenditures.
The officers elected were: Division
commander, s. S. Horn, of Easton;
quartermaster, w. b. McNulty, Phila-
delphia. The next convention will be
held at New Castle.
The parade of the order took place
yesterday, The Citizens band, of Free
land, headed the Easton camp, which
had the right of line.
A large number OF people were at
tracted to the place, expecting to see a
great demonstration. For some un-
known reason only few hundred mem
bers were in line and the disappoint-
ment of the crowd was general.
A convention of the Ladies Society,
an auxiliary to the Sons of Veterans,
also held its convention there.

Anthracite for the Navy.

A recent issue of the Anthracite Coal
Operators Journal has the following with
reference to anthracite for naval use:
1.-The establishment by the govern
ment OF coaling stations for its naval
vessels is good in itself, but If these are
to be supplied with soft coal there will
always be a depreciation in quality to
be provided against after it has been
stored for any considerable period, and
further, the liability of the coal to
spontaneous combustion always keeps
the chance of at least part of the
stock being destroyed or unfit to use.
1.-THE following is the announced list
of stations with the tonnage to be
maintained at each: Manila, $4,000;
Guam, 10000; Honolulu, $4,000; Page

The closing exercises of the Freeland
public schools were held at the Grand
opera house on Monday evening, and so
great was the number who applied at
the doors that many were unable to
gain admittance and to accommodate the
disappointed the program was repeated
the following evening.
The pupils acquitted themselves
creditably on both occasions, and nc
doubt the public closing exercises will
hereafter become one of the features of
the school term. Notwithstanding the
warm weather and the crowded condi-
ton of the building, the audience ap-
preciated every number and came away
well pleased with the showing made by
the children.

of Using Ground Elsewhere for Picnic

of Using Ground Elsewhere for Picnic
Purposes-This Brought Forth Mrs
Coxe's OHer-Council Accepts.
At a special meeting of the borough
council on Tuesday evening an Offer
was received from Mrs. Eckley b. Coke,
of DriftoD, to build Il dancing platform
in the Public park. The offer was
accepted by the council and the opening
date, July 4, was given to Citizens Hose
Company, No. l..
The platform will be 5Ox5O feet and
will be located nearer the center of the
park than the former one was.
Mrs. Coxe's offer is regarded as very
generous donation by the pleasure
lovers of town, and dispels the gloom
which has overshadowed them since the
old platform and seats were removed
from the ground.
The members of the Citizens Hose
Company desired to conduct a picnic on
July and had asked permission from
the council to use the park. Not re-
ceiving satisfactory reply committee
waited upon the Cross Creek Coal Com
pany and sought the privilege of using
the ground near the old Lehigh Valley
Railroad station for picnic purposes.
Mrs. Coke, it appears, learned of their
intention, and, after acquainting her
self with the facts, made to the park
committee of council the proposition to
erect the pavilion.
The iiremen are naturally gratified at
the unexpected turn of affairs, and at a
special meeting on Tuesday evening
appointed committees to make the
Fourth in Freeland day of real pleas
ure and enjoyment for the people of
this region.
A committee was appointed to ex-
tend invitations to the several Or
CARNATIONS of the town and vicinity to
parade here on the afternoon of Indepen-'
dence Day.
After the parade addresses appropri-
ate to the occasion will be delivered by
orators whose names will be announced
later.
A picnic will follow these speeches
and continue during the evening.
The committee which has been given
charge of the arrangements for the
parade consists of T. j. Moore, Henry
Hincer, Richard Scott, Francis Mooney,
j. ID. Myers and George II. Hartman.
Now that the movement to celebrate
the Fourth has been started, let every
organization and individual give all the
assistance possible to make the day
rousing success.
