Will Audit Expense Accounts

sensation was sprung in court at
Sunbury on Monday morning when
George B. Reimensnyder, attorney for
L. n. Burke, presented petition
signed by five residents of Northum-
berland county, asking that the ex.
pense account of District Attorney
elect A. X. Deibler, be audited, in
order to prove beyond all question of
doubt whether it is correct or not.
Shortly afterwards Attorneys @. Nj.
Clement, W. II, Hsckenberg and j.
w. Gilispie, who had been retained
by the respective parties whose names
appeared on the documents filed peti.
tions asking that the expense accounts
OF L. n. Burke, VIM. Taby and 1. T.
@. Dissinger, respective Democratic
nominees for district attorney, sheriff
and prothonotary..in the recent elec.
tion, be also audited.
Judge Auten, to whom the petitions
were presented, ordered that audi itors
be appointed to go over the accounts
i'll question. The expense accounts OF
the various candidates were filed short.
~ before the thirty day limit expired
iu which they are allowed bv law to
file them. An act of assembly pro-
vides that any five citizens who doubt
the correctness Of the accounts can de-
mand an audit. That this step was
taken following the recent election
has caused general surprise.

Agriculture in Schools.

Commenting ON the decision made
by the convention OF school directors
of Armstrong county few days ago
that agriculture shall hereafter be
taught in the schools of the county and
that teachers shall qualify themselves
to teach along those lines. the Butler
Eagle says: "They are getting partic-
ular in Armstrong. Yet there is much
in the request made. The suggestion
of the teaching of agriculture is not
new, but nevertheless vital The large
element in the rural schools are being
trained for the farm. The scholars
are the scholars of farmers They will
grow up ON the farm and take the
places of their fathers and mothers as
tillers of the soil and queens of the
rural home. Why should they not be
taught best that which they will have
most to do with throughout life? 1t
is an error of the past that all the
schools should do is to give the child
training in the three Rs. They need
more. If they are to be good farmers
and good farmers wives they must
know OF the progress in the best
methods of farming and making of
the business of agriculture the study
and close attention demanded for real
success, As to the requirements for
the teacher, which is the real mean
ing of the request for higher stand
ard for school certificates, the direct
ors probably feel that as they are
compelled to pay more money for the
teacher under the new law they should
have higher degree of efficiency" "

ST. LOUIS GOLD MINE.
Traces of the Metal Once Found With

Traces of the Metal Once Found With
in the City Limits.
st. Louis has never been known as q
gold mining center, but there was once
a gold mine within the limits of the
city, and. what is more, it yielded gold
which is more than Il great many gold
mines in the Rockies have done.
In the sixties of the last century
there was n well dug on a hill lust
east of Carondelet park. and the we'll
diggers, noticing some bright, spar
king yellow particles in the clay at
the bottom. did little washing ON
their own account and found several
grains of gold in the pan. The news
soon got abroad, and two examiners
from the west who were living in the
neighborhood quickly got the idea that
there was money to be made in st.
Louis gold mining, so they sank a shaft
not far from the well, fully expecting
rich returns from their work. They
did actually find gold, but in quanti-
ties so small that they estimated a
yield of about 15 cents per ton of clay,
SO they filed up the hole and gave up
the undertaking in that place as a bad
job.
But they had all the miners enthu-
siasm, and the fact that they found
gold at all merely stimulated their zeal
to try in another place, so they went
to the side of a hill where the Glaize
creek had washed away the earth and
made clay precipice They dug hole
there, where they also found traces of
the precious metal, but in no greater
quantities than before. Then they went
up the creek about quarter of mile
and sank another shaft. with no better
result. They spent the whole spring
and summer digging holes around in
the neighborhood of the park, but the
only benefit they realized from their
work was the sobriquet "two luna
tics" and people laughed at them so
much that both left and went back
west, where digging holes in the search
for gold was taken more seriously than
in st. Louis.-St. Louis Globe Demo

INVISIBLE SNAKES.

wall. laid up without mortar. which

had a southern exposure. The chinks
afforded ample hiding place, and the
reedy borders of the stream promised
good hunting for the species which live
upon small fish, frogs. toads and earth,
worms.
The tlagman, who for several years
had passed ten hours a day at his lei,

there were snakes in the vicinity. mo

few minutes search in the cutters and
