Mr.. William H. Davis, Phar. D., Of

Salt Lake, Utah, Aug. 27.-
Sheriff Christensen OF San sose
county, today made a formal APP
peal TO United States Senator Raw
,ins for the relief Of ths Navaioe
Indians Of Southern Utah, and
the Latter has teIegrnphed the sst

sen COZ dsms the report that the
Navajoe's are in a desperate con
dition and predicts that unless
relief is gwen serious results may
follow.
Thirty thousand NavajDe In
dians are actually at the point Of
starvation in southern Utah, New
Mexico and Arizona, said the
sheriff today. "Unle.s something
lis done to mitigate .heir condi-
tion soon there will be an uprising

all Of their cattle. II has been
impossible to raise corn and game

TO BUILD NEW
HOSE HOUSE

According TO appearances the Con-
tinental Fire Company Will have a
new hose house in the near future.
The present structure, erected some
forty years ago, has been condemned
by an expert.
There has been a great deal of com
plant during the year or so past as to
the unsafe condition of the building.
Pursuant to orders from Council, the
Building and Repair Committee have
at least twice recently looked over the
promises and each time reported un-
favorably, showing all complaints well
founded.
The foundation of the hose house
has sagged. The walls are rent with
assures, which have lOOsened many of
the bricks so that they can be remOv
ed by the hand. The hose tower, how
ever, has been the cause of the greatest
soliCitude among those, who occupy
adjoining properties. With every
high gale of wind they have stood by
expecting to see it collapse.
Owing to stringency of finances our
borough has been Obliged to adopt
policy of little or no improvements.
Council, therefore, did not propose to
rush into the building of new hose
house unless satisfied that the present
building is actually beyond repairing.
In order to get decision that would
be final S. NJ. Trumbower of the firm
of Trumbower q Werkheiser, was en-
ployed to examine the hose house.
Mr.. Trumbower presented his report
on Monday night. He condemned the
hose house as wholly unsafe, explain
ing that repairs are out of the ques-
tion, owing principally to the bad
foundation. The tower, however, to
which the main building is anchor
ed, ?" he considers the safest part of
the structure. He recommended not
only that the building be torn down
but also that it be removed from the
spot, which he considers wholly un-
suitable. He advised Council to make
haste in the matter as the building is
in such a state as to make delay dan
gerous.
Mr. Dougherty and others at once
put themselves on record in favor of a
new hose house on wholly new site.
The idea seemed popular with the
members and it was decided to put
on foot negotiations for the purchase
of ground at the northwest corner of
Mill and Centre streets to be used as a
site for the new building.

Death of Jacob K. Sechler.

Jacob r. Sechler, brother of Coun-
Gilman NJ. d. L. Sechler, and who
grew to manhood in this city, died at
his home i'll Sechlerville, Wisconsin,
on Sunday, August 10th, after high
ly successful business career.
The deceased was born in Danville
SO years ago and is we'll remembered
by several OF our older residents.
Among his brothers in addition to the
Councilman are Frank Sechler of this
city and Alem Sechler of Kipp's Run.
The deceased never lost his interest in
Danville. Several times he jOurneyed
east TO revive the associations of early
life. His last visit here, which occur
red about three years ago, was especial
ly felicitous, not only by reason of the
reunion it brought about between
himself and brothers-all rapidly ag
ing-but also owing to the many endur-
ing friendships formed with oul
townspeople, who were won by the
courtesy and genial, kindly manner of
the visitor.
In 1S43 at Williamsport, this state,
Mr.. Sechler was married to Miss Susan
Harris. His wife preceded him TO the
grave some years ago. He is survived
by three sons and two daughters, eleven
grand children and three great grand
children.
While in the East Mr.. Sechler was a
carpenter and contractor. In 1855 he
removed to Wisconsin and began farm
ing in the town of Hixton. This was
the start of Sechlerville where he resid
ed up TO the time of his death.
The deceased was man of integrity
and business sagacity. Under the firm
name of Sechler and Son at the time
of his death was operated one OF the
best grist mills III the state, a success
ful creamery, and large general
store. The firm also had under a fine
state of cultivation farms aggregating
1900 acres employing many men the
year around.
The funeral took place on Tuesday
of last week Mr.. Sechler was indeed
sincerely mourned as is common when
"a good man passes away whose life has
been an inspiration and help to others.
The funeral cortege contained $50 car.
riages and the church would not hold
one third of the people. The pail
bearers were of his own employees.

TO DISCONTINUE
EXAMINATIONS

1t now seems that monthly eXamIna-
tions which FOR many years past have
been popular feature of the routine
of public school work are to be dis
continued in this city, as they already
have been in Shamokin and in other
wide awake towns in the state.
This is news that will cause no dis
may among our public school teachers,
as there are probably few who have
not discovered that the monthly ex-
animation as a test Of real advance
ment often fails of its object, while it
opens the way to many abuses, which
seriously embarrass the teacher
The local School Board has had the
matter under consideration for some
time. At the last meeting it was re-
ferred to the High School committee,
of which DR.. F. E. Harpel is chair
man. There is little doubt as to the
nature Of the committee 5 report, which
will be made at the next meeting, nor
of the action of the board with refer
ence to it, as nearly every member has
already gone on. record as opposed to
monthly examinations.
Borough Superintendent Gordy was
interviewed yesterday OH this moOted
subject. He had nothing TO say in
favor of the monthly examinations. In
his opinion better results could be
achieved if the daily recitation were
made the educational unit on which
to base promotion. As the matter
stands, he says, the fairly bright boy
may absent himself from school dur
ing the first half of the month there
by losing the benefit of daily prepara-
tion and recitation and yet be able to
pass the examination by examining
his head during the last half Of the
month. This is serious blow at
good attendance to say nothing of
what is lost to the pupil, although he
may pass the examination with some
degree of credit.
By basing promotion upon daily rec
itation, Professor Gordy says, good
attendance would be insured Reg
ular reviews would take the place of
monthly examinations. The pupil
would work hard to keep his daily
standing up to the required percent
age. The reward for it all would come
in not only with an exemption from
monthly examinations but also from
the final examination the greatest
| bugbear Of them all-at the end of the
term For those who might fall
below the required percentage.in daily
| recitation final examination would
be provided that would enable them
to show whether or not they are quail
| flied for promotion.
