BURGLARS At
SOUTH DANVILLE
Operated at two Places Early on Sunday
Morning.

The residents of South Danville Sun
day morning were thrown into state
of excitement by the news that burglars,
for several months inactive on that side
of the river, had again begun their dep
relations. The residence of Harrison
G. Kase, Sunbury street, was robbed
during the early morning hours, the act
being characterized by spirit of bold
ness and audacity seldom equalled.
About a. m. Mrs. Kase was awaken
ed by some one in her bed room. Think
ing that it was her daughter she address
ed her by name. Receiving no reply
she repeated her words, asking what
was wanted. By this time Mr.. Kase
was awake. There was no reply from
the intruder, but the daughter, who oc-
cupied another room hearing her name,
called out asking what was the matter.
There was shutf1ing sound in the
room and two men tiptoed out. BY the
aid of light burning in the hall their
retreating figures were reflected in a mir
ror in Mrs. Kase's room. The reflection
OF the men was only momentary and in :
adequate to convey any idea of the
burglars appearanceN The men were
heard to pass down the stairs and out of
the front door, which they carefully
closed after them.
A search was instituted about the
house to see what was missing. Mr..
Kase's purse, containing $3 so had been
taken from the pocket of his pantaloons.
This money along with two umbrellas,
which the robbers were heard to take
from rack in the hall when they left,
SO far as could be determined constitut-
ed the booty. 1t was raining at the time
of the burglary, which perhaps suggest
ed the THEFT of the two umbrellas.
The key of the front door was found
on the floor which would seem to in
dicate that the robbers possessed dup
licate key by means of which they push
ed the right key, from the lock and un-
locked the door.
Upon arising Sunday morning Mr..
F. Ii. Nannan discovered that he also
had been robbed. During the night he
was awakened by noise and sat up in
bed for some time listening for repeti
ton of it. Everything remaining quiet
he tumbled off into sleep again.
Upon awaking Sunday morning he
found his pocketbook containing dol
lar or so in change, his gold trimmed
spectacles and his pocket knife missing,
while the floor up stairs and down bore
the marks of two pair of very muddy
shoes, which had come in at the front
door.
At Mr.. Vannan's entrance was effect
ed by means of pair of burglars nip
pers, which clasped the key and turned
it in the lock.
The articles stolen had been placed
upon the bureau in his bed room by Mr.
Vannan upon retiring the evening be-
fore. On the bureau lay also Mr.. Van
mans gold watch and the gold watch be-
longing to his wife. These the burglars
overlooked or they declined to take
them by reason of the risk of detection
they might run with them in their pos
session.

Rev. j. F. Hover Returns.

At the recent meeting of the Central

ing Monday night with President Fischer
in the chair. Other members responded
to the roll call as follows: Orth, Fenst-
ermacher, Green, Barber, Burger, Curry,
Werkheiser, Keefer and Lunger.
A communication was read from Rep
resentative~ James Foster with refer
ence to resolution adopted at prev
ious meeting of the board asking that a
special appropriation be made for high
schools, which he stated has been pres
ented to the House and referred to the
committee on appropriations. Itwould
give him pleasure, he said, to urge the
passage of any measure which might
add to the proficiency of the High school.
Miss Jennie Lovett rendered her res
ignation as supply teacher assigning as
her reason the fact that she intends to
take course in the Normal school.
= Misses Blanche Campbell and Alice
Bookmiller, graduates of the High school,
both of whom received the endorsement
of Superintendent Houser, were elect
ed as supply teachers to succeed Miss
Lovett.
On motion of Mr.. Lunger it was order
ed that the schools of the borough be
closed on April 5, Good Friday.
Superintendent.Houser presented his
report for the past month, showing the
total number of pupils as 1l47-574 males
and 573 females. The total number of
pupils enrolled up to date is 1919. Num-
ber of pupils sick, 1856.
On motion of Mr. Lunger, it was or
dered that insurance on the school prop
erty represented by several different
policies be renewed as they expire.
Tiffany's Natural science cabinet, the
purchase of which at last meeting VAS
referred to the supply committee, again
came up before the board. The supply
committee stated that it was not yet
ready to make report. J. G. Zea,
agent for the cabinet, was present. He
offered to furnish two cabinets, with two
extra cases free. By dividing each cab
met into two parts and using the extra
cases, four schools could be reached with
the price of two cabinets. This is the
plan adopted by Bloomsbury and Mil
ton.
superintendent Houser's report show
ed great deal of tardiness in the differ
ent grades, which it was thought must
initiate against the progress of the pu-
pills.
DR.. Harpel stated that the teachers of
the High school are often deceived by
the pupils, who present "bogus" or
forged "excuses" granting them per-
mission to visit the Y. M. G. A. rooms,
where they add to their fraud by de-
ceiving General Secretary Laumaster in
the same way. Principal Gordy being
present was called to the floor when he
acknowledged that in all probability
himself and fellow teachers were iu.
many cases imposed upon by the pupils
1t is serious thing, he said, as one of
the first objects of the public schools is
to develop character. 1t was the sense of
the school board that radical measures
should be adopted to break up habits of
deception. On motion of DR.. Harpel it
was ordered that pupils found guilty of
forging excuses should suffer suspension
during the balance of the term.
The High school committee held a
secret session after the school board
meeting.
The following bills were approved for
navmant.

shots of the club, journeyed to Danville
last evening to meet in battle royal on

of the Moneta club. The local players
had quietly tipped their admirers that
the match was ''cinch" for them and
they would win hands down, but strange
to relate their calculations went amiss
and the Danville boys won out in easy
fashion much to the chagrin and con-
sternation of their hackers in Blooms

amounts of cigars, bon-bons, etc., on
their success. The seal lp that they were
