The pupils OF the various rooms have
now become accustomed to the new
order Of events necessitated by tho
great misfortune that befell us, and are
now determined to put forth every ef-
fort to- make the few remaining months
OF school success.
In the high school aud preparatory
departments all classes are now recitiug
on the same schedule us formerly and
while, perhaps, 1t would have been ad-
vantageous to our interests II the di-
rcctors had been more expeditions in
the ordering Of the text books. yet all
classes are making commendable pro-
gress.
The differences arising between the
cunjuncting of the literary societies Of
the two rooms, have been amicably set
tied and the moonlight of peace and
tranquility again reigns supreme. The
offices have been so arranged that each
society receives au equal allotment, and
so the question that promised to be Of
difficult solution has been arranged in a
manner acceptable to all concerned.
The seniors and juniors are now be-
ginning their work and formulating
plans to insure the success OF the COM
mencement week. As In former years
AN instructor will be here to drill them
in their work, and while the classes
this year will be placed ut somewhat Of
II disadvantage, yet they hope to have
the commencement this year equal, IL
not surpass, those held in the past.
The seniors will finish their work in
Astronomy this week. They have al
ready completed what has been the GUS
tomary years work in Caesar and are
now we'll started in Cicero. The seniors
take pardonable pride in the progress
they have made in Latin.
AT the last meeting of the literary
societies the following officers were
Pres, Effie Milliren, 0l; vice-president,
James Muir, '0l; secretary, Eric Lenk-
erd program committee, Christine
Brown, '02: Ira Bowser, '02, Lawson
Reed, Clyde Murray; critic, Miss Daily;
editor-in-chief, Clement Flynn; assist
ant editor Ralph Kirk.
Chas. Herpel, of San Antonio Texas,
visited the high school Monday morning.
Efiie Milliren, Goldie King and Maud
Hoon, who have been absent from the
working force Of the high school the
past week as the result Of sickness, re-
turned to school Monday morning
A mock trial will be given under the
auspices of the literary societies on
March Is. These trials have grown to
be very popular and those who attend
this one will enjoy treat.
Arrangements have been so perfected
that each school has its own room In
which to recite. The high school util-
zing the Sunday school department
while the preparatory has possession OF
one of the class rooms. The other class
room is used for the principals office.

In January, 1897, the borough of Du-
Bois purchased the water works in that
borough from the Dubois City Water
Works Co. at cost of $6l 800. Since
purchasing the plant the borough ex-
pended $l2, 1920 for new pumping
plant, etc., 100000 for tools, etc. for OPP
GRAFTON, making the water works cost
Dubois borough S74, $50. 20 up to March
!, 1901. Commissioner Daly's report,
as published in the Dubois Express last
Saturday, shows that the total receipts
from the water works for three years
and eleven months, beginning April
lst, 1897, and ending March 1st, 1901,
was 5,367.55. Expenditures, pump.
ing water, tools. material, making taps,
etc., Sl5, ,75I53. Balance in favor of the
water department, S29,6l3.02. These
figures show that the borough of Du-
Bois made good investment when it
purchased the water plant.

At the farmers institute held in Par
adise last month some person-through
the question box-brought up the sub
ject OF farmers being called "hayseed,'
country jake" &C., when they come
into town. The farmers took very
sensible view Of the matter aud were
right In their decision that the towns
people who have common sense will not
call farmer names simply because
he does not always wear his best clothes
when he comes TO town to sell his pro-
duce. One lady said she had enter
tained town people at her home and
when in town, with few spots OF mud
on her dress, these same people made
it convenient TO be looking in another
direction when she passed. A person
who would be guilty Of such ungrateful-
ness is short on brains and long on van
ity. 1t is not the clothing that makes
the true man or woman, and it is fool
ishness for any person to cast reflections
on farmers because they do not live In
town. Some Of Gods noblest men and
women are found In the farming COM
munity and some OF the DEVILS meanest
imps are usually found In towns and
are few and far between among the
farmers.

Has the town an active Health Board?
There Is not much evidence Of II. In
isolated cases there Is extra enforce
ment OF the quarantine. but usually
gross carelcssness exists. In few cuses
where intelligent and extensive care is
taken that u contagious disease Is not
spread by the members Of the family
themselves. people get up great bug
bear OF alarm, and after danger Is really
over. A member Of the family Is not
allowed to approach the house or talk
through the window, or to the nurse
who, after taking every precau,ion, met
and talked to the banished father Of the
sick child. This man WAS visited by
member of the Health Board t?) and
taken to task for the alleged impro-
priety. Now other families, who have
no thought of extreme care, are allowed
To go all over town and children from
the infected houses play with and con-
stantly associate with neighbor chill
dren. One noticeable case is this A
house is quarantined where two infec-
tious diseases In the most malignant
form exist. viz: scarlet fever and diph-
iberia, yet the children go any place
they like. Two children from this
house were seen In the jefferson Supply
meat market with number OF other
children, as well AS the butcher and
other adults. II these diseases are
highly contagious might not the germ
even be communicated To the fresh meat
and sent around wholesale. They-the
children from the infected house-had
on heavy WOODEN clothing aud wool is
said to BE- an excellent article to carry
or hold disease. do not know as much
harm has resulted from the carelessness
that has fallen under my observation,
and probably there is II great deal of
nonsense connected with the germ
craze; but the question still arises, why
Is such extreme care taken In one case
and another dozen cases allowed to go
unrestraincd, the only precaution being
a piece of innocent pasteboard that
means nothing to the people OF the
house or to anyone who wishes to go or
come from said house.

The sage of the Punxsutawney Spirit
says: "The voracious novel reader
never reaches high stage Of intellec-
tual development. He naturally reads
the story for the development of the plot,
and not for the fine moralization and
truisms it contains, which he generally
skips. To read pure romance just for
the excite nent of following the charac-
ters has no more educational tendency
than witnessing transforming play
or dog fight"

A Virginia man advertised for wife
and received replies from 1861 women,
but not one Of the whole bunch pleased
the fastidious man, so he sold the list
TO a matrimonial agency and bought a
wheel with the money. Who but a
man of the utmost thrift could have
thus plucked consolation from defeat?

Dear Sir:-One coat OF Devoe Is bet
ter than two Of mixed paint.
The American House, at Tanners
vile, (Catskill Mts.), N. Y, Chas. l..
Wiltse, had two coats Of mixed paint
five years ago; last spring had two more
coats of the same.
Owners were going to use Devoe but
got his mixed paint few cents less.
Right across the street, Charles
Haner painted one coat of Devoe at the
same time-last spring.
The Haner house is the better job:
but wait five years.
The point of the story is that Wiltse
is sorry already. He has learned some
thing that not one man in a thousand
knows-that gallon of one kind Of
paint can contain twice as much paint
as a gallon OF another kind OF paint.
You can't afford to put on anothe er
kind of paint even II you have it given
to you. AT the same time, you see, that

Soft Coal Market.
Coal Trade journal.

Coal Trade Journal
In view Of the prevailing conditions
and the expected advance In railroad
freights April lst. all the indications
point to good business for the bitum-
inous coal shippers during the month
Of March. Railroad traffic is heavy.
All the engineers and available coal
cars are in use. Trains are being rap
idly handled, and enormous quantities
of bituminous coal are being moved
eastward to tide water.
There is still some work before the
district conventions OF unions. and that

on the 9th may insist on the fulfilment
of the eight-hour day rule.
II Is noted that the tonnage OF soft
coal exported grows each month in a
small way, and it would be larger II
vessels were TO be had at less rates OF
freight, and that day may soon come.
We have the coal OF superior quality
and all that is lacking is supply Of
vessel tonnage. II will be TO the great
advantage of the soft coal trade, II
there were Legislation looking to ship
bounty, and every one connected with
1t in any way. should aid In that direc-
tion; with the development of the mines
there is the opportunity for more bus
