Harness Stolen and Returned.

William Metlcr of Riverside "A few
days ago had a singular experience
with thieves who stole a valuable set
of harness and later replaced them in
the stable The harness along with a
curry comb and brush were abstracted
from the barn about Thursday. On
Friday morning Mr. Metler found the
harness, which bore evidence of hav-
ing been used recently, back in the
stable.
Mr.. Metler was very glad to recover
his harness with such little effort and
will no doubt forgive the remorseful
thief for his omission in failing to
bring back the brush and the curry
comb.

Practical mining men IN the employ
of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron Company say that the coal
deposits in this region are sufficient TO
last hundred years and TO furnish
steady employment throughout this pc
riod to probably more hands than are at
present employed At the mines Recent
provings have shown that the deposits
OF minable anthracite are practically
incxhaustible But 20 get nc these
seams will require the sinking OF
shafts or slopes to profound depths.
The most serious problem IN deep
underground mining will be that of
conveying the product TO the surface
which will entail extra expense and
have a tendency to raise the price Of
marketable anthracite to an almost
prohibitive figure to all except rhe
very well-tO-do.
Numerous shafts and trial slopes ar.
now being driven at many OF the coll
lieries for tine purpose of tapping un-
deriving veins Immense steam driv-
on fans will be erected 70 voutthr. fhe
working, which will be more gaseous
than the lifts above them.

| Board Monday;night. Jacob Fischer of
| the Building and Repair Committee
reported that upon examination the

A hole in the ceiling Of the fifth
school should be plastered up.
Crates for the two stack furnaces
and four back plates for the furnaces
should be bought.
Repairs to the spoutiug were also
recommended
SECOND WARD.
The cellar should be white washed.
Seats in the fifth school should be
dressed and vanished
No coal is needed, thirty-fve to
forty tons being on hand.
WELSH HILL BUILDING.
The drain pipes leading from the
Chambers street corners should be re-
paired to run the water into the creek
Lime should be bought and the Gel
lar white washed
THIRD WARD.
New stone steps should be laid ut

the furnace irons now in the cellar.

tions, with the exception of Mr. Fis.
chell, elected instructor in the Com
morcial department.
DIR. Harpel of the Committee on
Teachers and Certificates reported
that Mr.. Fischell had accepted posi-
tion in the public schools of York be-
fore he heard from Danville. He read
a letter from Mr. Fischell explaining
his position in the matter and recon-
mending several other young men.
The Board, therefore, finds itself
without a teacher for the Commercial
depar tment. Teachers of experience
for such positions do not seem over
plentiful and considering the lateness
of the season the School Board does
not feel cheered at the prospect of Sc
curing the right kind of a teacher.
They will proceed to look up several
of the young men recommended.
The following members of the School
Board were present:
Keefer, Orth, Burns, Harpel, Pursel,
Werkheiser, Won Blohn Fischer, Evans,
Hancock and Greene.

DON'T WANT HERD LAW
Beaver County has Kick to Register
Regarding Matter.

Guthrie o. T.. Jan. a.-The Gyman Her
aid says: The territorial legislature will
soon be in session and determined effort
will be made TO place all of Oklahoma
under a herd law. Such legislation would
be against the best interests of this coun-
ty under existing conditions and the peo-
pie of this county are practically unani-
nous against herd law legislation. The
settlement of this question is of more
Importance to Beaver county than state
hood, school land matters or any other
question up for consideration. On the
stock law question this county stands
alone against a multitude because of all
other counties of the territory are de-
manding herd law, so it is necessary for
Beaver county to get very active in sup
port of its desire to. remain as a free
range district and arrange to put up a
substantial fight in support of it's side of
the proposition. Our councilman and
representative viii work for this county's
interests, but it will also be necessary
for the people of this county TO get in
the game and back them up good and
strong. This county will lose the fight IL
the people of the county remains inactive.
