Graduates in Positions.

The excellent reports received from
the graduates of the commercial de-
partment proves very encouraging to
the Borough Superintendent and fac
ulty of the high school and serves to
convince the school board that it made
no mistake when it decided to add
short hama, type wrIUIHg anu UulroI
studies that go to make up CONNER
cial course.
The Remington and the Smith Ere
mier Typewriting Companies volun-
teer to find positions for graduates
who learn on their machines and for
that purpose have established an en-
ployment department. 1t should be
stated, however, that the diploma
from our high school or any other in
stitution counts for but little with
the typewriter people until they them
selves have examined the graduates.
Thus they are brought to thoroughly
understand the qualifications OF the
young man or woman and know pre-
cisely what they are recommending.
What is especially gratifying is that
those of the fifteen graduates OF our
commercial department, who have ap-
piled to the type writer people for
assistance in getting positions have
not only passed the examination with
credit but have been placed in very
desirable positions.
Borough Superintendent Gordy yes
terday received letter from the en-
ployment department of the Smith
Premier Type writer Company stating
that Mr.. Arms. graduate, who was
placed in a position with the Bell
Telephone Co., 10th and Columbia
ave. Philadelphia, at a salary OF $40
per month, is getting along very nice
ly and is giving very good satistac-
ton. Report from Mr.. Engel, who
also has been placed in position, and
others that were examined by the em-
ployment department is corresponding
! ly encouraging.
The above should remove the least
doubt as to whether or not our COM
mercial department can give prac-
tical business education and impart to
its graduates degree of expertness Ill
type writing, shorthand etc, that Will
enable them to compete with the
graduates of purely business colleges.
Our school board can not help but re-
fleet that in establishing the CONNER
cial department it has done grea
deal for the young men and womel
of Danville and has given them al
advantage never before enjoyed b.
the young people of town.

Arrested for Shooting Frogs.

IL would seem that there are persons
who have not learned that it is illegal
to capture Dull'frogs at this season OF
the wear. Two young fellows of town
were arrested by local officers Tues
day, for shooting frogs in the canal
below town. The disposition of the
case is still pending.
The act of April 6, 1908, makes it
unlawful to catch, take or Kill any
bull frogs only from the first day OF
July to the first day OF November and
imposes a fine of twenty-five dollars
for each and every otfense, which
shall be payable to the school district
in which such offense is committed
and NAV be sued for and recovered be-
fore any alderman or justice of the
peace of the proper county.
The old canal with its swampy bot
tom affords an excellent breeding
place for bull frogs, many of which
attain great size. 1t is well known
fact that large numbers are taken
from the canal during the closed sea-
son. 1t has seldom happened, however,
that persons have been so bold as to
go after the frogs with gun i'll the
day time. Chief Mincemoyer thought
that the offenders i'll this case were
proper ones to make an example OF,
hence the arrest The men arrested put
up the plea that they can not pay the
fine and the officers are holding the
case under advisement for few days.

During conversation one CLEANED u
great deal of interesting information
relating to Zion City and was able to
see many things i'll quite a different
light from that in which they are us
ually presented
To begin with Mr.. Anderson says it
is fact that not more than fifty per
SONS of Zion City's five thousand in
habitants still adhere to Dowie, the
rest all following the standard of Vol
iva. Mr. Anderson himself for many
years was a faithful follower of Dow
lie, but he how sees in Voliva all the
virtues which formerly belonged to
Dowie. Upon being asked what Dow
les shortcomings might be attributed
to after so many years of faithful
leadership, he replied that summing
all up it resolved itself into the one
fact that "he could not stand prosper
ity. As long as he was poor-as long
as he was humble minister struggling
with his people he was the very in
carnation of goodness and devotion,
but when the point was reached that
money began to pour i'll i'll millions it
seemed to turn his head Dowie's
followers never attributed any divin-
ity to him, although they recognized
i'll him great magnetism, which made
him leader of people just as Roose
welt is. DOwie was the recipient of
divine power, which he welded for
the good of his people. He came by
this power naturally just as any of his
followers came by IT, by being right
with God, by prayer, by leading clean
moral lives so as to avoid any of the
consequences of sin.
To explain, the people of Zion City
observe the moral law they lead clean
and virtuous lives they do not smoke
nor chew, they do not drink nor use
drugs i'll any form. They are consist
ent in this and in the city of five
thousand people there is not a saloon
or any place where liquors are sold,
there are no cigar nor tobacco stores,
neither are there any drug stores and
what is more surprising there are no
doctors The people shudder at the
thought of drugs and would not take
medicine in any form. They have no
use for doctors. When person be
comes indisposed tits regarded as the
result of excess or sin and recourse
to prayer is the remedy adopted

VILLA NJ FLANAGAN
SERIOUSLY INJURED

William Flanagan, an employe of
John Keim, was thrown from horse
Tuesday afternoon and sustained a
very serious fracture of his left leg, as
the result of which he may be confined
during the rest of the summer, even if
he does not lose the use of the limb.
Mr.. Flanagan about O'Clock was
riding one of Mr. Keim's horses from
the brickyard to the stable near Mill
street and was passing along the alley
at the rear of the Jail, when some boys
playing ball frightened the horse caus-
ing the animal to suddenly spring to
one side throwing the rider. Just how
the serious injury was inflicted is not
known, but the bones of the mans left
leg are completely fractured just above
the ankle. 1t was compound fracture
and the end of the broken bone pro-
truded from the wound
The man was found lying i'll the al
ley by some people living near, who
quickly notified W. A. Shepperson and
J. Stutterheim, who were on their way
to the hospital for the insane. The
gentlemen picked up the injured man
and in a few minutes succeeded III
getting DR.. Oglesby to the spot. DR..
Oglesby, however, was not able to take
charge of the case. He dressed the leg
temporarily and did all that could be
done to relieve the pain, after which
Mr.. Flanagan was driven to his home
at No. SOS East Market street, i'll Mr..
Keim's spring wagon.
In a short time Mr.. Shepperson, who
had started out in search OF physl-
clan, arrived with DR.. Stock. The
physician considered the injury as a
very serious one and thought the man
had better be taken to hospital. He
dressed the limb preparatory to the
trip and otherwise endeavored to make
the patient comfortable. He was tax
ell to the Joseph Ratti hospital at
Bloomsbury Tuesday evening.
Mr.. Flanagan is man OF about
middle life AMI has family OF ten,
the eldest of the children being grown
up. He has been employed by John
Keim for many years and is capable
and trust worthy workman. He is en-
titled to much sympathy.
