DARING THEFT
OF CHICKENS

A chicken theft OF the very boldest
typo was perpetrated Sunday night at
the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew
Weniger, corner of \ aud Spring
street.
The Wenigers have always imagln-
ed their coops to be safe from the dep
relations of chicken thieves. on ac-
count of the arc light on the corner
whero their home is situated. This
daring rascal, however, was not deter
rcd by the illumination. nor did he
even wait until a late hour to make
tie raid.
Mr. Weuiger had retired and Mrs.
Weuiger was about to do so at 10
O'Clock when slight noise attracted
her attention to the rear of the house.
There she saw the man emerging from
the chicken coop. Mrs. Weniger's de
mand for an explanation only served
to cause the rogue to make a hurried
exit and disappear.
Mrs. Neniger thought she had fright
ened the thief away without his booty
but an examination of the coop yes
terday morning showed that two of
the finest chickens were missing.
Mrs. Weniger is confident that she
recognized the thief, and she promises
to institute proceedings unless the
chickens are reformed or she is reim-
bursed for her loss

Ministerial Association.

The Ministerial Association of Dan
willie yesterday morning held its first
meeting since June. when the pastors
began to prepare for their summer VA
cations. The attendance was fairly
good.
The intention was to have made ar
rangements for the Union ThanksgIv-
ing service, but owing to the fact that
one or more of the ministers were abb
sent it was decided to postpone max
ing arrangements until next Monday.
The prolific season and the general
prosperity prevailing ought TO call
forth fervent thanksgiving this sea-
son and nothing less than the usual
interesting program will suffice.
Rabbi Joseph Zeisler of the B'nai
Zion congregation was elected mem

in the moral and religious welfare of
the town than Rabbi Zeisler and he
expects to affiliate fully with the as

shoulder with the members for the
good of the town and community.
Rabbi Zeisler yesterday stated that
the Jewish congregation will join the
Christian denominations in Union

Bloomsbury Expects to Win.

The Rloomsburg Daily has the fol
lowing 10 say about the basket ball
team from ten miles up the road, which
will play the local I'VE at the Armory
Friday evening:
"The local basket ball enthusiasts
are now ormulating plans for the
coming season. 1t is the purpose of
the local promoters to get together
as strong a combination of players as
possible, and only the very best of
teams will be played.
"The best of the local ability has
been secured to which will be added
several star players to be secured else
where.
1.-THE first game of the season will
be on Friday evening when the local
men go to Danville to play the team
of that town. and they are going there
to win.
That sounds pretty good and it is
altogether likely that the visitors
will put up fine game, but as to their
winning we'll, you can't always tell.
There are five boys from right here
at home, who have been pIactiCing
hard for some time. and they put up
mighty good article of basket ball.

PUPIL TEACHER
TAKES CHARGE

Professor Shaw. Principal of the
Third Ward Grammar School, who is
suffering with an attack of diphtheria
was reported by his physician yestt r
day as doing very we'll under the Gil
cumstances, the disease being we'll un.
der control and not at all of malig'
nant type.
Miss Kate Seesholtz, one of the pu-
pill teachers elected, yesterday after,
noon temporarily relieved Borough
superintendent Gordy, who had charge
of the Third ward grammar school
following Professor Shaw's illness.
The Borough superintendent has reg
ular duties TO perform in the line uf
actual supervision, which may at any
time call him away. So that while
his attainments and experience make
him a first class teacher in any of the
grades it is impraoticable for him to
act as substitute for more han a
very brief interval.

lower grades the pupil teachers come
into play very nicely and generally do
satisfactory work. The grammar
school, however, is a pretty difficult
proposition for a young woman to
tackle whose schooling and experience
is within the limit implied when pu-
phi teachers are considered. Neverthe-
less Miss Seesholtz essayed the task and
with the effective aid of the Borough
superintendent got along very nicely.
Miss Seosholtz will continue in charge,
the Borough superintendent looking
in at intervals to see that things 90
rightly, until next Monday night when
the School Board holds regular meet
ing. If necessary. other arrangements
may hen be made.
