). ". Armes, contractor, yesterday
began the work of painting the court
house. 1t is a pretty big job and even
with three men employed will occupy
the greater part of a month. Three
coats are to be applied.
The contractor is assisted by Aug

swinging scaffolds usually employed
by painters wele soon placed in posi-
tion yesterday and by noon fair start
was made on the south side of the
building.
The first coat is not a factor as re-
CARDS color, and does not add any to
the appearance Of the building, being
merely applied as binder" to pre-
pare for the other coats. 1t will not be
until the second coat is put on that
the building will reveal any change
in appearance The third coat will
touch the building off in all its splend-
or.
The color selected is q darl, grey
stone color The corner blocks and the
cornice will be painted a light stone
color The effect of the whole, it IS
believed, Will be quite pleasing to the

The date set for the Republican pri-
maries is Friday, July p between the
hours of 6 and p m. The county con-
ventiOn will be held on Saturday, 2Sth
inst, at 10 a. m.
During an interview yesterday with
John E. Roberts, Republican county
chairman, it was learned that notwith-
standing the near approach of the time
for making the nominations candid
ates remain scarce and there is little
enthusiasm or interest shown.
DR.. Samuel will be endorsed for con-
gress by the Republicans of Montour;
Charles G. Evans will be the choice
for judge. Charles A. Wagner, of OF
tawa, will have no opposition for the
Republican nomination for associate
Judge. j. l.. Bitter and Harry Kerns
are rival candidates for jury commits
siOner. A prominent citizen of West
Hemlock township is said ID be an as
pirant for the nomination for sheriff
on the Republican ticket, but no an
nOuncement has as yet been made. No
candidates are in view for any of the
remaining offices Whether any will
materialize between the present and
the date of the primaries remains to
be seen

ABOUT SCHOOLS.

The superintendent of public schools
of Washington county has recently
been saying some good things which
were published in the Washington OBJ
server. He calls attention to the fact
that while Pennsylvania leads all the
other States in Legislative liherality
toward the schools, in the liberalitY of
the districts the State stands thlr-
teenth And he might have added that
some parSimOniOus persons out in one
of the western counties are actually
irving to create sentiment favorable
to the enactment of law relieving
the districts from any financial respon
sibility for their schools While Penn
sylvania has a minimum school term
of seven months and minimum wage
of S35 per month, Ohio pays $40 and
insists that the school must be kept
open eight months New York forbids
relatives of teachers serving on school
boards. Ohio has five directors in each
district each of whom receives S25
per wear, with requirement that the
schools be visited. Here are some good
things for Pennsylvania to initiate.

CATAWISSA WOMEN.

gentle unobtrusiveness. But it seems
that the women in Catawissa, at least,
have traits that border on the Amaz-

but she soon taught them better and

He questioned young Helm, but he
could only tell the officer that he had

that he must tell what he knew about

The boy had held his awful secret

between sobs told the story of the sad
affair to which he was a witness.
Mr.. Voris, the boy said, IN

drowned. " In answer to the questions
then asked him Carr told the pitiful
story.
After the two were left alone they
were playing on the steep bank, and
as Fausnaught was throwing sticks in
to the water he slipped and fell over
the edge Carr tried to reach him with
"A pole but failed, and before he realiz-

\ shocking drowning accident was
disclosed late last night when search
ers dragged from the water in the bot
tom of deep pit at the old steel plant
the body of cleven-year-old George
Fausnaught.
The details of the accident are very
sad and the affair is cnslrouded in an
air of CHASTITY mystery that was aug
mented last night by the silent shad-
ows of the deserted old mill, cast into
relief bv the tIickering lanterns of the
searching party.
The unfortunate lad left home yes
terdav afternoon after dinner and III
company with three other boys, went
TO the old steel plant to swim and fish.
The dismantled mill seems to have
been a favorite playing ground for the
bows. 1t was about three O'Clock when
two of the BOYS. Gus carp and Ralph
Helm. let the mill Young Fausnaught
and Clarence Carr remained behind.
The pool in which the drowning oc-
Cured is the biggest Of the soaking
pits-the one last built at the steel
plant and never used. IT is about 10
feet deep, and is now about half full
of water. On three sides the brick
walls rise perpendicularly, but ON
one side it is approached by a steep
cinder path. 1t was on this bank that
the two boys, Fausnaught and Carr,
were playing after the others left.
After his playmate was drowned
Carr went home, and saying nothing
of the accident during the evening,
went to bed. The parents of the miss
ing boy became frightened as the time
passed and their son did not come
home. He had always been prompt at
meals, and never out at night. The
alarm grew and his companions were
questioned. Young Carr was known to
have been the last one with him, but
even under repeated qucstionings he
steadfastIy repeated that he knew
nothing of his playmate.
As the evening passed and still the
boy did not appear, his parents hearts

Reform Movement i'm Blooms sburg

Bloomsbury is getting into line in
the reform and anti-graft" move
ment with a vengeance. Following
closely on the heels OF an announce
ment by District Attorney G. A Small
that the investigation of suspected
cases of iFregularity by public officials
would not stop with any one office,
came the formal demand to the school
board for an examination of the past
records of the board and statement
showing in detail all amounts paid to
School Director j. c. Brown for sup.
plies furnished to the board or schools
That move is taken as preliminary
to bringing criminal prosecution
against Mr. Brown, if the facts war
rant such action, the charge being that
the selling of supplies by a public
official to any board of which he is a
member is contrary to the act of assem-
bly,.
A formal communication was receiv

board and the letter had been read at
the meeting of the board on Monday
evening The district attorney asked
that all back accounts and records be
gone over, and full statement Of such
expenditures made out by the aid of
which he might govern his actions.
No action has been taken on the mat
ter as yet, however, as Mr.. Small is
out of town, and Mr.. Hartman wishes
a full understanding Of the situation
before taking any steps.
And as yet, upheavels have only just
begun, it is stated Mr.. Small says
this is the beginning OF Investigations
to some, and asked the amount and
date of every order given Mr. Brown
since his term as school director which
covers a period of over twenty years.

council Warns
THE PUBLIC

Pursuant to action taken by council
al its last meeting notices were post
ed about town NJ onday calling atten-
tion to the act to prohibit the throw
ing of waste paper, sweepings, ashes.
nails or rubbish of any kind on the
street or the disturbing of the contents
OF any receptacle placed upon the
street or sidewalk
1t was decided by council to strictly
enforce this section of the act after
discussion showing the Indifference
and caTelessness of most people in mat
tars pertaining to the cleanliness and
welfare of Mill street. 1t was the
sense Of the members that the pro-
prietors of the wagons in the curb
stone market are great offenders in
this respect and that each market day
great deal of extra labor is imposed
upon the borough employees by oblig.
ing them to haul away refuse of many
sorts left behind by the market wag-
Ons.
All this it was pointed out is in
clear violation of the above act. 1t
was also shown that merchants and
Others residing along Mill street offend
i'll a similar manner and that the
evidence of their carelessness can be
seen at any day by waste paper and
the like strewn over the paving.
The act was approved April 20, 1905,
and to assist in the observance of sec
tion | the borough at considerable ex-
pense installed rubbish cans at
convenient intervals along the street.
That these cans are used ouly occas-
ionally is fact we'll known to every
person acquainted with affairs along
the street. 1t is not the intention of
couRcil that the cans should be used,
at least to any great extent, by the
vendors in the curbstone market, who
are expected to take care of their own
vase matter and offals, reloading
cabbage leaves, corn husks and the like
upon the wagon and hauling them
back to the farm.
The section quoted provides that any
person or persons who violate the pro-
vision shall upon conviction thereof
before any magistrate be sentenced to
pay the cost of prosecution and to for
felt and pay fine not exceeding ten
dollars for each and every offense and
in default of the payment thereof
shall be committed and imprisoned in
the county Jail for a period not ex-
ceeding ten days.
The safe course to pursue would be
to comply with tine above section, for
council evidently intends to enforce
the act as indicated by its action in
causing the notice to be posted.
