Respectfully yours.
u. N. ANDREWS. 3"
Says He Will Resign.

When seen by a Journal representa-
tive yesterday afternoon and asked
what he proposed to do in the
premises, Alderman DAlembeTte re-
piled that he would do nothing until
he had an opinion from City Attorney
Jones, and If the latter gave it as his
opinion that he was illegally holding
office, as claimed in the cOmmunica-
ton, that he would resign immediate
ly.
He has written a letter to City At
torney Jones in which he states the
facts in the case. He cites the fact
that about fourteen months ago he
sold his home in precinct No. II and
moved temporarily out Of that pre-
cinct, because of the fact. that he was
unable to secure a suitable home there
for his family. Since that time he
has been residing outside Of the pre-
cinct, but has purchased unimproved
property in precinct No. II and is con-
sidering plans for the erection of a
home on the same. He says he is a
qualified electOr of precinct No. II
and voted in that precinct in the pri-
maries of May Is and June II.
Since the matter has, reached its
present stage the opinion Of the city
attorney will be awaited with much
interest by those who are endeavoring
to have Alderman D'AIemberte re-
sign, as well as those who believe he
is legally holding Office.

As to Whether or Not He Is Legally
Holding the Office of Alder
man from Precinct No. Y.
HANDED COMMUNICATION BY J.
". ANDREWS YESTERDAY IN
WHICH LATTER CITES PARAL-
LEI CASES, AND INTNMATEs
THAT FURTHER STEPS WILL
BE TAKEN-WILL RESlG If IN
ELIGIBLE.

The question of whether or not AL
derman A H. D'Alemberte can legally
hold his seat in the council and rep
resent precinct No. IL, while he re-
sides in another precinct is to be de-
cided by City Attorney Jones, and
upon it rests whether or not Alder
man D'Alemberte will continue in the
service Of the city, for if the city at
torney should say that it is illegal for
him to hold Office, he says he will ten
der his resignation Immediately.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of Alderman D'Aiemberte yes
terday morning by J. n. Andrews,
when the latter walked into the Office
of the Pensacola Investment Company
and gave Mr.. DlAlemberte a letter,
which afterwards proved to be a COM
municatiOn citing reasons why Mr..
D'Alemberte was illegally holding Of
fee, and intimating that further steps
would be taken by parties interested
if Mr. D'Alemberte did not give a sat
isfactOry answer. Mr.. DAlemberte
states that Mr.. Andrews was not &C
cOmpanied by anyone, as an article
in the afternoon paper would lead one
to believe, and that even Mr.. Andrews
did not wait until the letter was open
ed, although invited to do so.
The Communication.
The communication, signed by Mr..
Andrews is as follows:
Pensacola. Fla, June 20, 1906.
Mr.. A. H. D'AlembeTte.
Pensacola. Fla.
Dear Sir:-Your attention has al
ready been called to the fact that you
are holding your Office as a member
of the city council from precinct No.
II without authority of law, and your
participation in the deliberations Of
that body are illegal. There is too
much involved for the citizens and
taxpayers to sit idly by and have
things go on as they have been. One
of the city boards acted lately in a
case of much less importance than
yours. l refer to the case of Frank
Martin, a city sanitary inspector, and
Mr.. H. Bars no longer being eligible
to sit and represent the people Of pre-
cinct fourteen has resigned. The leg
islature of Florida unseated C. NJ.
Brown. because he had moved his res
idence from one county to another.
Now you have the matter in your
own hands. ] have been requested to
put the matter before you plainly and
unless a satisfactory answer is re-
ceived at once proceedings will be
begun

BOROUGH TEACHERS ELECTED.
Same Corps as Last Year-PrOfs. ThOm-
as and LambersOn and Misses LOgue
and Grissinger,

At a meeting of the board of
school directors of this borough
last Saturday evening the follow
ing teachers were elected for the
ensuing term High School,
Prot. Emery Thomas; Gram mar
School, Prof. B. Q. Lam berson;
intermediate, Miss Stella Logue,
and Primary, Miss Olive Grissin-
ger.
The salaries remain the same
rs last year, namely, $40, $40, $35
and $35. The reelection of the
old teachers is a deserved COM
pliment.
The length of the term will be
eight months, and the schools
will open on the fifth day of Sep
tember.
The Borough's share of the
State appropriation, 1851. 10, has
been received, and that is suffi-
cient to pay the salaries Of the
two lady teachers, while the sum
received from "outside" pupils,
pays the salary of the High school
principal; so, you see, it is up to
the Borough to pay Prot. Lam.
berson, and Keepthe schoolhouses
warm and clean, and to pay other
little incldentals.

BIacksnake For Table Ornament.

The Huntingdon News says,
Mrs. Joseph Cyrus, of McCon-
nellstown, had quite a thrilling
experience with a blacksnake.
Going into her closed-up parlor a
few days ago, she noticed some.
thing coiled up on a table. She
went out again undaunted and
asked her son Clarence why he
had tried to fool her by placing a
piece of rubber hose on the par
lor table. He denied the accusA
tion, and investigation revealed
the fact that the supposed rubner
hose was a large blacksnake
which seemed unperturbed by
the families excitement. The
lad procured hoe and soon had
dispatched the reptile. 1t is a
query as to how the reptile got
into this room as it had been clos
ed for several days.

THAT CRAVE ON MOUNTAIN.
Party From cConneIlsburg Weat Up Last
Week and Opened H. Found Bones.

In order to satis fy themselves
as to the speculation about the
motives whicI, led TO the disturb
ing of the old grave on top of the
Cove mountai about which the
News told last week, a party com
posed Ut Charles Trltle, Martin
Wolf, Robert Sinner, and Robert
Jackson, took n shovel along when
they went ON the mountain for
huckleberries last week, and
made careful examination of the
grave.
Among other theories advanc.
ed for the motive which led to the
tampering few weeks ago, was,
that, probably, some one had com
nltted murder, and thought to
hide the evidence of the crime by
placing the body of the victim. in
the old grave.
The party of young men refer
red TO above, opened the grave
carefully, and found that whoever
had opened it few weeks ago,
had been down to the skeleton,
had throwl 1T out, and searched
the bottom of the grave. There
was nothing to show that they
were rewarded for their search
by finding any hidden treasure,
and that when they were done
searching they had thrown the
bones back into the bottom of the
grave in a promiscuous heap, and
filed the grave with the earth
they had removed IN opening 1t.
The party who opened it last week
say that some of the principal
bones of the skeleton are miss,
ing.
From an article IN the Fulton
Democrat last week we learn that
MIR. A. K. Alexander of this place
says that he recently received a
letter from his brother, D. E.
Alexander, of Des MONIES, Iowa,
stating that the latter had talked
with man by the name of Smith,
who many years ago, lived with a
man by the name of Fagley. This
Mr.. Fagley, was keeping the old
tavern at the top of the Loudon
mountain IN the year 1882, and
Mr.. Fagley SAID that the grave
was there at that time, but did
not know how long before that
time 1t had been made, and could
not give any further particulars.
We are informed that some of
the old settlers claimed that it
was an Indian grave.

FELL DEAD IN PULPIT.
The Rev. 7. N. AIderton Stricken While
Preaching.

The Rev. Thomas N. Alderton,
of Great Cacapon. w. Va, aged
so, dropped dead from apoplexy
in the pulpit at Greenwell Baptist
Church, at Rees Mills, w. Va,
last Sunday, while preaching.
The Rev. Alderton was nearly
seven feet tall and weighed over
300 pounds. He belonged to the
Primitive Baptist church, and
was an ltinerant. Among the
churches which he served was
the Tonoloway church IN this
county, two miles north of Han
cock.
Mr.. Alderton was well known
IN the lower end of this county,
having been preaching In the diff
ferent Baptist churches for sew
eral years.
1t is coincidence that Rev.
Thomas r. Palmer, of Needmore,
a co worker with Rev. Alderton,
dropped dead at the breakfast ia
BILE at his home, less than year
ago, of apoplexy.

Tired OF the Chicken Diet.

Freeman Foster was Tax Col
lector of Rutland for a mum ber
of years. He kept large flock
of hens, says the Boston Herald.
The neighbours hens had a habit
of trespasslng on Mr.. Foster s
domain. AT last he could stand
1t no longer. He interviewed the
neighbor and said II hGve just
shut my hens into the henyard.
Now, the next hen I see on my
premises I'm gong to shoot"
A few days passed before Mr..
Foster noticed a hen scratching
IN his garden. True to his word,
he got his gun, shot the offender,
and threw it INTO his neighbor s
yard. TIC nelghbor promptly
dressed the fowl and had chicken
for dinner. This act was repeat.
ed mum ber of times.
The nelghbor became tired of a
steady diet of chicken. So, just
after the last hen was thrown IN
to his yard, he addressed Mr..
Foster thus "You'd better take
this hen and treat some of the
other nelghbors. We're getting
sick OF so much chicken.
"I'll teach you to keep your old
hens at home" replied Mr.. Fos-
ter.
"But," explained the nelghbor,
81 sold all my hens a couple of
months ago. Nobody else has
hens around here. You We been
shooting your own hens. I've
seen them flying over the fence. T"

WILL FIGHT VACCINATION.
Clubs Formed to Work for Repeal of
Compulsory Law.


Antl,vaccination CLUBS are be.
ing organized and they will en-
deavor to have the existing vacci.

Mrs. Lola q. Little, of Mlnne-

pronounced and most Prominent
of the anti-vacclnists in this coun
try, is leading the fight against
the law and is now touring the
anthracite region. Mrs. Little
has been working IN this State
since April. In that time she has
organized clubs IN Berks, Clinton,
Dauphln, York, Franklin, Luzerne,
Colum bla, Carbon and Schuylklll
counties. In recent interview
Mrs. Little said We have knock
ed out compulsory vaccination in
three states-Minnesota, Indiana
and Illinois-and we expect to do
the same thing IN Pennsylvania.
In fact we are going to do it next
winter. 1 find the opposition to
compulsory vaccination very
9trong in Pennsylvania and par
tlcularly IN Franklin county. In
investigating the epidemic of last
fall have come to the conclusion
that the disease was bred and
spread chiefly by vaccine virus.
Mrs. Little's plan is } organize
good-health leagues in every town
and city of considerable size IN
the State, and already the total
membership of these leagues in
the State is formidable.

ONLY As STARS ON THE FLAG.
Salutes Fired for 40 States, bur Okla
hOma is Not in UniOu.

hOma is Not in UniOu.
A lot of people in different parts
of the country have been firing
salutes in honor of the forty six
States of the Union, when there
are only forty-tve. There seems
to be universal impression that
Oklahoma has become a State.
The error travelled as far as Ma
Mia, for it is reported that Okla
homa was included IN the national
salute fired at the Luneta. What
is more astonishing is that at
some forts IN this country, some
even as near to Washington Us
Forts Howard and McHenry, Md,
salutes of forty six guns were fir
ed.
There are just forty.fve stars
on the flag, and there will not be
any more than that before July
4, 1907 Then there may be for
ty-slx or forty seven, according
to whether Arizona decides to
come INTO the Union. 1t is not
yet officially known even that Ok.
lahoma is going to come into the
Union. The law admits her if she
wants to come, but she hasn't vot-
ed to come yet.
Along about the end of next
June the quartermaster generals
office will begin to turn it's atten-
tlon to a Encouragement of the
flag so as to add tine new star, or
stars, as the case may be, in the
most artistic and effective way.
Until that time the flag will go on
looking as it does now, and per-
sons who fire salutes IN honor of
the Union need not shoot more
than forty-five times.

over 722, 100000 bushels, as indi-
Gated by the last government re-
port, Is nearly 10000, 900 bushels
greater ihan the prospects of a

cations. A good cotton crop Is
also promised, the average estl-
mate being 11,000,00 bales.
Should we have large wheat
crop, that means much prosperi-
ty for the farmer, inasmuch as it
is large money producer. A
big corn crop means much not

rections into which 1t enters for
consumption, such as pork, beef,
whiskey, starch, glucose, etc. A
large cotton crop will be beneficl-
al, inasmuch as the larger portion
