WE SHALL TRY AGAIN.

The school board of Denver has
taken no action upon the application
of Miss Lucy Buchanan for position
as teacher in the city schools. 1t has
neither refused her a position, nor has
it granted one. In some respects, it
is gain to know that ColOred ap-
plicant, could have such evident fit
ness, that it would be rank injustice
and race prescription to turn her down,
yet it is sad blow "a disheartening
decision for them to remain silent and
withhold the reward of merit. Having
qualified herself in the city schools
and in the State Normal, the Colored
people had hoped that the five mem
bers of the school board would
measure up to the best there is in
American statecraft and appoint her.
All this is apart from any rights
which we have as citizens to equal
consideration, because of our citizen
ship or tax-paying. The spirit of the
American schools is against caste of
any kind. Therefore it was not too
much to ask of the school board that
it set an example of freedom from
caste distinctions
In the discussions of this appoint
ment, various members of the board
said that they had no personal objec,
tioas to Colored teachers in mixed
schools, but feared the objections OF
white parents. In rebuttal city after
city was cited to show, that no i'll
feeling developed elsewhere, and they
were urged to give our own girl q
chance, as other cities have done
They have failed to do so, and we are
disappointed. While we construt
their silence as some gain over re-
fusal, it is sorry handicap to put
upon our struggles to withhold re
ward for the cultured and striving
Negro, over his shiftless and illiterate
brother. The men composing the
school board have risen in life from
lower stations. They are Americans
and cannot believe that anyone should
be circumscribed by the conditions Of
his birth. They cannot overlook the
ever increasing number of tax payers
among us. And when Negroes buy
property out of wages that do not av
erage over SEQ per month, when they
look up under the hard conditions that
surround them, and strive to be good
citizens, it is unbelievable that the
school board will fall below the tradi
tions of Americans schools and tel
lis we fight in vain. Let Omaha speak
in behalf Of Miss Buchanan. Chicago
Cleveland, New York, Philadelphia, all
pay tribute to the Negro woman who

qualities herself to teach. Denver is
silent, but another year we shall ask
again and we hope with better sue
cess.

Firemen Incur Big Debt.

1t was stated in THE STAR last week
that Hope Fire Co., under whose au-
spices the two-day celebration was held
at Reynoldsville July 3 and 4, had in
Cured debt OF about $4,000 in giving
the celebration, but after all bills we're
turned in the fire laddies find that they
are "in the hole" Sl45.5O instead of
$4,000. This is certainly discouraging
to the firemen. The firemen, who are
interested in the town, else they would
not work as hard and faithfully as they
do, without compensation, when pro-
perty is endangered by fire, thought
that there should be a celebration in
Reynoldsville and as no other organiza-
tion would take up the matter they
took hold Of it. 1t does not seem fair
that because the receipts were not suf-
ficient to meet the indebtedness that
the fire company should pay the de-
iciency.

Thunder and Milk.

To many persons the curdling oi
milk in thunderstorm is a myster-
ious and unintelligible phenomenon.
Yet, according to scientists, the whole
process is simple and natural. Their
claim is that milk, like most other
substances, contains millions Of bac-
terra. The milk bacteria that in a
day or two under natural conditions
would cause the fluid to sour are Pc
culiarly susceptible to electricity.
Electricity inspirits and invigorates
them, as alcohol, cocaine or strong
tea affects men. Under the currents
influences they fall to work with
amazing energy, and instead Of tax
ing a couple Of days to sour the milk
they accomplish the task completely
In half hour. With an electric bat
terry 1t is easy on the same principles
to sour the freshest milk.-Brookville

Electrical Storms Do
Damage in County
Dubois Also Suffers From the
Violence Of Lightning
and Wind.

Much havoc was caused Yesterday
afternoon by the two fierce electrical
storms which swept over this section.
Both storms were accompanied by a
heavy wind and trees and crops suffered
to great extent.
This immediate section seems to be
the only place near here that suffered
from the violence Of the storm. At
Punxsutawney the storm is reported to
have been very light and at Medix Run
there was but little rain and that little
was needed very much by the farmers
Numerous fires, the result of light
ming, were reported at various places
yesterday and last night and the local
firemen were sent off on wild goose
chase twice. Once during the afternoon
when the storm was the heaviest and
once in the evening.
Minor troubles as the result OF the
lightning and wind are innumerable.
Shade trees saHered all over town and
fields Of grain were laid low. The tele-
phones were also out OF commission
part OF the time and the current for the
street cars and the lighting system was
shut off at the power house for some
time during the storm in the afternoon
and also in the evening. No fatalities
are reported in this section.-DuBois

CARRIEDOFF
TOMBSTONE
Meanest Mortal on Earth Has
Fairly Clinched His Title
by this Deed.
BEULAH CEMETERY THE SPOT

We have heard of people stealing
flowers and plants out of cemeteries and
have always considered such thievery
contemplate, to say the least, but to
steal a tombstone that marks the
resting place Of some persons beloved
dead, can certainly be branded as the
meanest kind of thieyery on record.
Several years ago Frank McMann
died and was buried beside his father,
James McMann, and several other
members of the family in Beulah ceme-
terry. His mother, now Mrs. J. F.
Foltz, had tombstone set up at
Franks grave with just his name,
Frank, on it. Recently Mrs. Foltz
went to the cemetery to fix up the
graves OF her loved ones and to her
great astonishment and surprise the
tombstone at Franks grave was gone.
Some person had stolen 1t. 1t hardly
seems possible that man would steal
q tombstone from grave In one ceme-
terry to erect it at the grave of some
one else in another cemetery, and yet
what would any person want to steal
tombstone for If 1t was not to mark
the grave of some other person. This
is certainly the limit.

Loose Powder.
FIRE COMPANY CALLED OUT

Joseph Thompson, six year old son OF
John Thompson, of Jackson street, had
little Fourth OF July celebration all to
himself last Wednesday afternoon that
grew too exciting for pleasure. The
lad with companion, had gone into a
vacant house on Railroad street, owned

In the cupboard small quantity OF
loose powder. Just to see the pyro-
technics Joseph applied match and
the flash that followed nearly cost him
his life. His face, hands and side were
badly burned. When he ran from the
the house quantity Of smoke from the
explosion poured out the door and pas
sersby promptly raised fire alarm.
Hope Fire Company dashed to the scene
but found that physician for little Joe
was more In demand than the services
of firemen. The boy was carried home
and will soon recover.

AS SEEN BY OBSERVER
Merchants who Object to Fifteen
Hours Day at Counter


1t seems to a casual observer that the
merchants of our country are beginning
to think that 1t is an accommodation to
the public for them to keep business
place and sell wares at nice profit,
judging frcm the closing hours in vogue
at the present time. Just this time of
year the farmers are busy harvesting
and cannot go and do shopping in mid
day and II any accommodation is ex-
tended or due, it would be for the mer-
chants interests to serve his customers
at any time best suited the farmers
convenience. The merchant must
waken up to the advantages that have
been extended to the rural districts of
late with telephone in almost every
farmers house, and free daily delivery
mail, puts him In close communication
with the outside world, and when home
supply accommodations become so re-
stricted that it ceases to be an advan-
tage, he soon finds other sources more
convenient and profitable and is not
adverse to making use of them, and the
consequence is the merchant gradually
finds his business falling off and the
mail order house business increasing;
or he will be compelled to do things
less profitable than closing at all kinds
Of hours which suit his fancy best. In
parts of Clarion county, quite near
home, the merchant sends out his wares
in wagon and trades with or sells TO
the farmer at his own door and at Just
such prices as the best merchants in
the nearest centers Of population are
quoting Just so soon as the merchant
begins to realize that person entering
his place and trading with him, and
paying his price, which carries with 1t
fair profit, is under no obligation to
the merchant whatever, better service
will be rendered and business will be on
the increase. AN OBSERVER.
