Water Tank Bursts.

The large water tank in the d. S. &
s. Railroad yard at Drifton burst its
hoops yesterday, and for awhile the
residents of No. 2 portion OF the town
were treated to a miniature flood. The
large volume of water contained in the
tank rushed forth with alarming rapid
ity and swept everything portable be-
fore 1t.
The only damage done, beyond the
wrecking of the tank, was the loss Of
three chickens incurred by Engineer
Sims, whose coop was located near the
tank. The fowl were unable to escape
in time and were drowned by the water.
Mrs. John Powelick, aged 65 years,

Consumption From Milk.

A dispatch from Shamokin to the
Philadelphia North American says:
"Dr. Thomas Hickey, of this place, a
graduate of Jefferson Medical college,
Philadelphia, class '94, died today from
consumption, which he claimed he con-
tracted while serving as assistant ply
sician at the Fountain Spring Miners
hospital in 1895.
"He and DR.. Joseph Gallagher, of
Freeland, who died from the same dis
ease several years ago, one day drank
milk during their stay at the hospital.
The two physicians, when the disease
developed, examined two hospital cows
furnishing the milk and decided the
bovines had tuberculosis

ed the school duplicates from the county
commissioners and that the same have
been prepared for the tax collector. He
was authorized to place the warrant for
the collection of taxes in the hands of
the collector The duplicates call for
the collection of 81, 109.11 school taxes
and SO, ,45S O4 building taxes, a total Of
S7,56715.
The building and grounds committee
was instructed to have the schools and
grounds cleaned and repaired.
The election of teachers was the last
matter taken up by the board. A
motion to close the school at West South
Heberton, also the South Washington
street school, received the votes of all
the members, except Directors Fetter-
man and Isaacs.
In reply to a question asking for in
formation why the schools named were
to be closed, President Slattery stated
that the average attendance last term
was five pupils less than the previous
term, when only seventeen teachers
were regularly employed. The recon-
mendation of ex-Principa Houck was
that at least two, and possibly three,
teachers should be engaged. This rec
ommendation was favorably considered
and the corps of teachers was last year
increased to twenty, which has since
been found an unnecessary expense and
not warranted by the boards revenues.
The motion to elect the teachers
named to the schools and at the salaries
stated was voted upon as follows: For
-Brogan, Buckley, Brennan, McGeehan,
Purcell, Timony, Slattery, z. Against
-Fetterman, Isaac, Shellhamer, 3. Not
voting-Kline.
1t was decided that all teachers ap-
pointed shall sign contracts before TAX
ing charge of their schools; that the
term consists OF seven months, or longer
If the funds will permit, and that the
schools shall open on Monday, Septem-

All of last terms teachers who ap-
piled for positions were reappointed,
with the exception of Supervising Prin-
cipal John f. Williams. No new teach
ers were engaged.
In addition to those appointed, appli-
cations were received and read from
the following:

THE PRESIDENT
Of the City Council, Wilkes
barre, Pa, Cured of
Rheumatism.

Col. VIM. j. Harvey, president of
Wilkesbarre's city council, who will
long be remembered for his great work
for the city, was once mere physical
wreck, torn in every muscle and nerve
from the frightful pains caused by rheu-
matsm. He consulted the best physi-
clans, went abroad, took mud baths,
and almost every known treatment for
the disease. One of the city officials
had had very similar experience and
DR.. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
had cured him, so he recommended this
great kidney medicine to his friend,
and Col. Harvey is today we'll man,
hale aud hearty. In his own abrupt
way he states his case;
DR.. David Kennedy,
Dear Sir:-This is to certify that
was permanently cured of rheuma-
tism by the use of DR.. David Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy.
VIM. j. Harvey.
Nothing could be more direct or more
to the point than this simple statement.
Rheumatism is but another name for
uric acid poisoning which is caused pri-
marily by diseased kidneys. Cure your
kidneys and the rheumatism disappears.
For all diseases of the kidneys, liver,
bladder and blood, rheumatism, dyspep-
sia and chronic constipation, as well as
sicknesses peculiar to women, Dr. David
Kennedy's Favorte Remedy is unques-
tionably the greatest medicine known to
the medical profession.
