BATHING BEACH
GETS SHAKE.UP
Management Placed in
Hands of superintendent.
COMMITTEE is DISMISSED
Municipal Authorities Hope to End
Constant Friction Over Con-
duct of Affairs.

Trouble long brewing IN the affairs
of the Bathing Beach Committee has
reached a climax and the committee
as a consequence win be discharged and
the entire control of the beach placed
in the hands of the superintendent un-
der the direct supervision of the District
Commissioners.
1t appears that ever since q commit
tee was appointed to act as intermediary
between the superintendent and the
Commissioners there have been dis
agreements and unseemly wrangling. A
study of the statements made by the
various parties to the alteration forces
the conclusion that there have been too
many bosses" at the beach.
Committee Is Discharged.
Commissioner West has apparently
reached the same conclusion, for he has
recommended that the committee be
discharged. He says:
The committee has devoted a grea
deal of time and attention TO the bath
ing beach and the work which it has
done is thoroughly appreciated, but the
present system is in the nature of a
divided responsibility. which it would
seem to be good administration TO
avoid"
Commissioners Macfarland and Bid
die have approved the recommendation.
The action was precipitated by a COM
municatiOn from superintendent w.
X Stephens, setting forth long list OF
grievances. and revealing the sad lack
of cooperation between himself and
the committee, which consists of Engi-
neer of Bridges Douglas, William Tin
dali, secretary to the Board OF Commits
sioners, and Plumbing Inspector H 3.
Davis.
Cause of the Friction.
The friction between the suPerintend-
ent and committee was chiefly caused
by the construction of flume, which.
1T is said, needed constant resonstruc-
ton
Commissioner West sought the views
of each member Of the committee
Mr.. Douglas and Mr. Davis Joined In
admitting there had been constant diff
ferences of opinion between them and
the superintendent, and expressed the
opinion that the time had come to dis
pense with the services of the super
intendent or to abolish the committee
They suggested placing the beach under
the head of a. department which could
also assume control of comfort stations
and public baths.

EDITOR IN CHIEF, LEONARD HARRIS.

Last Wednesday our schools were Wis

| County Superintendent OF tn" Loyal
Temperance Legion, which is junior
organization of the ". G. 7. U. Mrs.
Cowan conducted the morning chapel
| exercises and in her address to the
| pupils proved an effective speaker.
During the day talks were given in the
primary rooms and Mercy Bands were
organized. A recent school law makes
compulsory tn. teaching Of kindness to
animals to the primary pupils. Mrs.
Cowaus visit and efforts aroused much
enthusiasm in this line of work.
A new fumigator of improved modern
construction has been placed among the
other sanitation apparatus in the school
building. Its frequent use on all provo
cations makes more certain the present
healthful condition OF our schools, The
S. curing of this apparatus shows the
2 al OF our directors for the welfare of
the pupils.

i'll in her room, No. IA, last Friday
morning. At present writing we are
clad to know that she is improving and
hope that she may soon be able to re-
sumo her school work.
1t has been deduced that the disagree
able odor which permeated the atmo-
sphere of room No Is last Wednesday
morning did not come from burnt chew
ing gum as was thought. But alas,
sufficient evidence has been produced to
prove that the "neckternal regions" of
some of the Juniors came in too close
contact with the heat from the stove
and as a result-well, tits known by
those unfortunates who by attending
circumstances were compelled to inhale
the fragrance therefrom.

TWO REYNOLDSVILLE MEN
Who were Chosen to Fill County Offices
at the Recent Election.

Grant ScheafnOcker, sheriff-elect of
Jefferson county, who came to Reyn-
odsville almost fifteen years ago in the
employ of the Oil City Fuel Supply Co,
and whom we still claim as citizen of
our town, although he built residence
d couple OF years ago on Mabel street,
just over the borough line, on the
Winslow township side. Mr.. Scheaf-
nocker is well known to the citizens of
this community and is highly esteemed.
He is an honest and hard working young
man and we'll deserves the honor be-
slowed upon him by the people in elect
ing him to the office of high sheriff of
Jefferson county on the Republican
ticket Knowing Mr.. Scheafnocker as
we have for fifteen years we feel conf
dent that the people of this county will
have no reason to regret having elected
him sheriff, for we believe he is capable
of filling the office creditably and that
he will discharge his official duty faith
fully and conscientiously' He is yet
young man, only 80 years old.
Mr. Scheafnocker will take the oath
of office the first of the coming year
and will move to Brookville about that
time to reside in the sheriffs residence
adjoining the county jail.

E. T. McGaw, of Reynoldsville, Demo-
cratic candidate for county commission
er, was one of the successful candidates
at the general election last week, but
the vote was so close between Mr.. Nc
Cav and Frank Woods, the other
Democratic candidate, that it required
the count of the official ballot to decide
which one of the gentlemen was elected,
and Mr.. McGaw won out by six votes.
1t might not be out of place TO mention
here that Mr. Woods is strong man in
the county and not an easy opponent to
defeat.
Mr.. McGaw, who was postmaster in
Reyuoldsville during President Cleve-
lands last term, is stalwart Demo-
crat, one of the party's best workers in
the county. We unhesitatingly make
the assertion that Mr.. McGaw will fill
the Office of county commissioner credit
ably and will look very carefully after
the interests of the taxpayers of the
county. We consider him well quail
fed to fill the Office of trust to which
the people have elected him to.
The other commissioners elected, in
fact all the county officials, are honor
able and worthy gentlemen, but Mr..
McGaw and Mr.. Scheafnocker being
home candidates we give them special
mention.
