THE impressive feature of the trial of
State Senator Farris at Jefferson City,
Mo-, on Wednesday, was the story of
shame contained in the testimony of
former Lieutenant Governor John A.
Lee, who told how he paid over 81, 900 of
the Royal Baking Powder Company's
money to be distributed among Farris
and six colleagues and retained 81, 800 for
himself. 1t would appear that large
percentage of men seek Office now for
what there is in it.

Especial Dispatch to the Alexandria Gazette.I

day decided to take up the report Of the re-

AT THE close of New Jerseys fiscal
year, October 81, Governor Murphy an
nounced a balance of 5000, 95l, 697.
This, together with the fact that New
Jersey has no public debt, jussifes her
claim OF being the richest State in the
Union in proportion to population.
Much Of the money which makes New
Jersey rich is secured from the taxes on
corporations and trusts which help to
make the people in other States poor.

DeWitt's Little Early Risers are unequaled as
a liver pill. They are rightly named because.
they give strength and energy and do their
work with ease.--W. T. Easton, Boerne, Tex.
Thousands of people are using these tiny pills
in preference TO all others, because they are 80,
pleasant and etfectual. They cure bilious
ness, torpid liver, jaundiee, sick headache,
constipation, etc. They do not purge and
weaken, but cleanse and strengthen. Sold by
all druggists.

church at Excelsior, Pa, last week dur

and, observing a pile of manuscript ser

ate them all. If the goat succeeds in
digesting the sermons it will probably
accomplish more than many of those

School Directors Convention.

Pursuant to call of the County Super
intendent of Schools the Directors of For
est county met at the court house, at loo
O'Clock on Friday, July 18th, 1908, and
were called 10 order by Superintendent
Stitzinger, who read the law providing
for the convening Of such convention
passed by the Pennsylvania legislature
at its last session. In accordance with
the provisions OF said act the directors
proceeded to organize temporarily by
electing j. +. Wenk, of the Borough, as
President, and Frank Dickinson, ofHowe
twp as Secretary.
The permanent organization was then
effected by the election of the following
officers for the ensuing year:
President, Z. w. Bowman, of Tionesta
Vice Presidents, Lyman Cook, OF
Green twp, and A. w. Albaugh, of
Hickory twp.
Secretary, r. l.. Haslet, OF Tionesta.
Treasurer, Herman Blum, of Green
twp.
The convention was addressed by Prof
ID. W.Morrison, Principal of the borough
high school, upon county uniformity of
examinations and graduation in our pub
lie schools. Mr.. Morrison gave an out
line of plan which he bad known to
work well, aud which seemed to be rather
taking with those present. Supt. Stitz-
niger also spoke for uniform course of
studies, saying he had long had desire
to see such system in vogue in our
county.
On motion the chair was empowered to
appoint committee consisting of three
OF the prominent educators of the county,
including the county superintendent, to
prepare plans for putting the system in
operation in the county, and ifpossible,
to begin with or during the current or
school year, this committee to submit
their conclusions to the several school
boards of the county. The chair appoint.
ed as such committee. Profs. Morrison,
of Tionesta, Stewart, OF Hickory, and
Sleigbt,o Marienville.
There were present about twenty |
five of the sixty directors of the county, |
quite good turnout for the first conven-
ton, and considering the unfavorable
season of the year. The interest in the
meeting was quite marked, and in an
other year, when a program can be ar
ranged, the interest will doubtless be |
much greater, aud will continue to in
crease as the objects and aims of the con-
vention become better known and ap-
preciated. 1t was suggested that the
meeting be called for next year on the
second Friday in June.

Lightning's Queer Freak.

j. s. Hood of the north ward lost fine
healthy March calf Monday afternoon in
a rather mysterious manner. About 2
o'clock severe storm came up and he
and Mrs. Hood being in the garden were
driven into the barn for shelter. After
the first hard shower vas over they went
to the house, after which the storm again
broke ard was accompanied with consid-
cradle electricity, but there we're no close
bursts Of lightning. When the atmos-
phere had again cleared Mr.. Hood went
to the barn, where he found the call stone
dead, and broom that stood about eight
feet away had been ignited and was still
smouldering. lie examined the critter
but found no mark upon its body to indi-
cate that it had been struck by lightning,
and the closest scrutiny has thus far failed
to reveal a spot about the building indi-
eating a stroke of electricity. OF course
it was lightning that did the damage, but
how it did it is the mystery that puzzles
Mr.. Hood, as there seemed at no time
during the progress of the storm bolt,
sufficiently near to the premises TO cause
such a result.

Secretary of the Comm


sour Boys" journeyed to North Clar-
endon last Wednesday and got mixed
with the speedy team of that town to the
extent of leaving game with them, but
not by any heavy majority. AS with the
Tidioute aggregation the week prior, the
Clarendon contingent made most of it's
scores in the first few innings, (six runs. J
After that it was series of goose eggs,
while Tionesta piled up so many of the
same sort of eggs in the first eight in
nings that they couldn't connect to the
full extent in the ninth, although they
had the premium oil producers in bad
state OF "rattles" in their halfof that in-
ming, batting the sphere out for five runs,
closing the pretty game with score of
So in favor of the p. OPP. The team came
home praising their hosts for the nice
treatment accorded them, and having not
kick to register against the umpire,
which is truly refreshing contempla-
ton. 1t is hoped the Clarendon team
may give us return game soon, when
we bespeak Tor them the same elegant
treatment accorded our boys on this oc-
caslon.
1t is noted with good deal of an xious
apprehension that the Clarington ball
sluggers have "called the bluff of the
Marienville aggregation in its attempt to
arrogate TO itself the baseball champion
ship of the county. 1t is horrible to con-
template the possible outcome of this up
rising, but it is hoped it may pass over
without bloodshed or an inter-township
imbrogio of any sort.
