TEACHERS RESOLUTIONS.

The following resolutions were
passed by the Teachers Institute
on Friday:
Be it resolved
First. That since it has pleased
an overruling Providence to call
from our midst one of our fellow
laborers, Chas. Dice, we as a body
of teachers extend our heartfelt
sympathy to the family Of the de-
ceased i'll this, Our common sorrow.
Second. That we extend our
hearty thanks to the Catawissa Pa
per Mill Company for their courte-
sy shown us during Our visit TO the
plant, to their employees, and es-
pecially to Mr.. Beckley who so
kindly explained the process of pa
per making to us.
Third. We highly appreciate the
work done by the Governor, the
Legislature and in particular Rep
resentative Snyder from Schuylkill
county in securing the passage Of
the Teachers Salary Bill.
Fourth We wish to commend
our worthy Superintendent, Mr..
Evans, for his deep interest shown
in the welfare of the boys and girls,
the teachers and the parents as evil
denced by the following:
First. The course of study as
outlined for the common schools.
Second. The course OF study for
our village and township high
Schools.
Third. His attendance and as
sistance and the many local insti-
tutes which we believe to be great
help in educating the people and
acquainting them with many prob
lens that are so often the source of
friction between parent and teacher.
Fourth. His efforts in placing
readable and interesting books into
the hands of pupils, teachers and
parents by the introduction of the
circulating Libraries of which we
believe there are now nearly hum
dred.
Fifth. The School Bulletin which
furnishes many facts pertaining to
school work which it would be i'm
possible to give otherwise.
Sixth. The establishment of the
Teachers Preparatory School at
Benton, which we believe to be a
good means for helping some teach
ers who do not find it possible to
attend other places of instruction.
Furthermore be it resolved, that
we extend our thanks to the princi-
pal ard trustees of the Normal
School for the use of tho auditori-
um; to the principal and board of
directors of Bloomsbury for the use
of the High School building, and

town for the many courtesies shown

TO CONTEST ELECTION.

y petition was presented to caurt
last week, Wednesday, by c. c.
Netier Esq. as peliminary step to
contest the election of William
Krickbaum as associate Judge at
the November election.
The petitionis signed by fifty seven
voters, and the allegation is that
Whitney Hess acted as judge of
election at MifIlinville instead of A.
i. Johnson who was the duly elect
cd officer, and that therefore tie
election board was not legally con-
stituted, and the vote ought not 10
have been counted. Krickbaum
received Io7 votes, and Hughes 50,
giving the former a majority of 81
in the county. If this vote had been
thrown out it would have given
Hughes a majority in the county.
After hearing the petition Judge
Evans made the following order:
Now, Dec. 4th, 1907, the within
petition is adjudged sufficient and
the same is directed to be filed Of
record in the Court of Quarter Ses-
sions of Columbia county and the
18th day of December, 1907, at
10 O'Clock a. m, is fixed for the
hearing on the same. Notice OF the
fling of this petition with copy Of
the same shall be served on William
Krickbaum together with a rule
hereby granted upon said William
Kriclbaum to answer the same on
or before the 18th day of December
1907, the day fixed for the hearing
which said notice, copy and rule
shall be served upon William
Krick baum at least ten days before
the hearing. The Court further
directs the petitioners to furnish a
bond in the sum of $1,000 within 10
days as provided by laws regulat.
ing contested elections.

Bertha, the Sewing Machine
Girl" will hold forth at the Grand
Opera House Dec. 20. The title
suggests the theme of the piece,
which is said to be one of the best
from every point of view, to be
seen at the Grand Opera House
this season. Bertha, The Sewing
Machine Girl" is a play of sensa-
tions of the thrilling type, whose
story, said to be consistent and
plausible, is laid in New York City,
where its heroine, Bertha, tolls at
the sewing machine to get the
necessities of life, for herself and
Jessie, her blind younger sister.
The fight is strenuous one but
our heroine is brave, and she wins
out in the end. The piece has four
acts and twelve scenes. The com
pany will be found thoroughly
competent in every respect, and the
performance will be well worth see
ing.

est of the family, my experience in
early life was that of rough and
tumble, over stumps and stones.
Fathers farm, III common with
neighboring farms, was very stony.
But then there was lots OF fun
aud sport. I think l enjoyed life
in youth, in spite of all drawbacks,
as well as the youth enjoy life in
this late day.
told you last week what some
people told me about the shad. In
my youth Our streams had an
abundance of fish, suckers most
prolific, and many good catch did
| enjoy. But, oh, could you see
the vast hocks of wild pigeons that
l have seen, even the heavens
spread over with them, it seems to
me that the river full of shad
would be no circumstance to the
pigeons. Some expert pigeon
catchers caught as many as hun
dred dozens in a season of good
pigeon flight Yes, excitement,
sport and game were not lacking in
my young days.
My motive for improving this
golden opportunity was to have a
little chat with all you Bloomsbury
people on topics most of you do not
remember, and to give you as much
ruralistic and antiquarian informa-
ton as possible.

Dean considers himself an authority

With hundreds of people looking on,
Dean entered the cage of wolf to
prove that the animal would not
attack q human being, even upon

contended in his magazine fight with

He tainted the wolf, which sprang
at him, finally, and lacerated him so
badly he had to be taken to a
hospital.
