SEARCHING FOR
 MANS DEAD BODY

York, Pa., January 13.-Directing force of 50 men, District Attorney Ammon to- day began a search of the farm of Chas. Keener, near Seven Valleys, York coun- ty, for the body of an unknown man. who, according to a statement made by Miss Irene Tawser, was murdered and buried there on the night of July 21 190S by the farmer. When the work was halted this evening no trace of the re- mains had been found, although excava- tions were made at the point designated by the young woman, where the body was said to have been buried.
 Failure to obtain any material corrobo- ration has not shaken the belief of the authorities in her story, which she dic- tated when she was seriously i'll, and under the belief that she was about to die. The impression prevails that jealousy prompted Miss Tawser to duplicate Kee- ner.
 Further search of the Keener farm will be made tomorrow.

LAWYERS FACING
 BRIBERY CHARGE

New York, January 1S.-Carl Fischer Hansen and Alexander Michaelson, law partners, were arrested in the district attorneys office today and held for ex- animation in bail of $15,0oO and s1oOOO, re- spectively, which was furnished. They are charged with bribery of witnesses, or payment of money to witnesses for the purpose of withholding the truth.
 The case grows out of an investigation bv the district attorneys office to ascer- tain why the testimony of Tony Macaluso, a youth who testified at the trial of Carl Fischer Henson, last June, when the lat ter was acquitted of alleged extortion, was so materially changed one day from what 1t had previously been, Maoaluso had made charges of a serious character against Joseph E. OBrien, decorator of Philadelphia, and Fischer-Hansen had been accused of trying to extort Sl5,OOO from O'Brien and an additional $lo0OO for the boy. as the price of Macaiusos silence.
 Fischer-Hansen and Michaelson both de- nounced their arrest today, saying it was unfair to invite them to consultation in the district attorneys office, as had been done, and then cause their arrest in an arbitrary manner.

The New Year

1908, Get off the line And give your place to 1909 The old years out And the new years in, And all that's good And all that's sin Are just the same this year as last And the futures similar to the past, Yet Well, when new year comes We seem to think We oughtn't to be quite so gezink On certain lines, and try to be A sample of near-purity; Not more like angels, maybe, But
 To be not quite the pie-faced mutt We were last year, And so we make A resolution that will shake The old things off an Do we? Say? Tomorrow not much like today. Is 1t? Still, Men and women, if you will, Just a thought Of being nearer what we ought Uplifts us some, And in that far We're less of clod And more of star. So think you will, Although you won't; And try to do, Although you don't, And let the New Year spirit give A touch of how to better live. 1908 is done for;

PRISONER GETS
 AWAY FROM JAIL

Atlanta, January 1S.-A. Caldwell Smith, who was arrested last night for complicity in the murder of w. L. Buck, disappeared from the city prison today in a most mysterious manner. According to the turnkey, former Deputy Sheriff N. A. rhastain, accompanied by man unknown to him. called at the prison and asked for Smith, saying that he had come to take him to the tower prison. Thinking that Chastain had instructions to get Smith, the turnkey delivered the prisoner to him and the city and county officers state that nothing has been seen of Smith since.
 The chief of police and the county sher- if deny that the prisoner was removed from the city jail on any instructions from them.

Since child was distressed and hu- initiated by an unwelcome growth of hair on my race and arms. tried all the de- pilatories, powders. liquids, creams and other rub-on preparations ever heard of, only to make 1t worse. For weeks I suf- fered the electric needle without being rid of my blemish spent great deal of money on various things in vain, until a friend recommended simple preparation which succeeded where all else failed
 This simple remedy enabled me perma- nently to find entire relief from all trace of unwelcome hair, and forever end my embarrassment. It is simple, safe, sure and can be used privately at home, with out fear of pain or blemish. It makes the electric needle entirely unnecessary.

SCHOOL FUNDS MAY BE ISSUE

TRENTON, July 20.-The board OF
managers of the State Council Of tn,
Junior Order of United American Me
chanics has sent out a circular callins
upon all members of the organization II
use their best efforts in securing tho
nomination of candidates for the Legis.
lature pledged to prevent the alleged di
version of school moneys for State pur-
poses. The circular was signed by Graf
ton E. Day, Everett Gray, William Fl
Miers, the State secretary; Joseph NJ
Thompson and j. Morgan Read.
The circular is as follows:
The order for two years past have
as is well known, been making a fight
for the preservation of the school moneys
of this State. Last year, and this year
a persistent effort was made by the ad
ministration to turn the school money
derived from the tax on the main stem
of railroads, into the State Treasury fol
miscellaneous uses.
Through the efforts of our order these
attempts proved unsuccessful. Eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty
The effort to divert these moneys from
the schools has in no wise ceased, and
the influence that is working to this
end is endeavoring to secure the nomi-
nations of candidates for the Legislature
from the various counties, who, if nomi-
mated and elected, will favor this policy
We urge every member Of the order in
this State to be on guard, and to see
that the nominees for the Legislature are
friendly to the schools, and will resist
any effort to divert from the use of the
schools such proceeds of the main stem
railroad taxes as under the act of 1906
are pledged to the free public schools Of

BUDGET MEETING

July is one Of the months IN
which two meetings of Council are
held, but this double turn does not
always make more than spoonful
of business at the tail end.
Mr.. Scofeld was the only absen-
tee at Monday nights seance.
A verbal request was conveyed,
that Councilmen meet with the
Board of Education at an early
date to make up the 1909-10 bud
get. This excited the Mayor and
Councilmen to protest. They feel
that as they are at the head OF the
Borough's departments the time
and place Of meeting should be des-
ignated by themselves The Mayor
said that from time immemorial
the two bodies have been at logger
heads; they have never worked to-
gether, but always miles apart. He
thinks, as do lots Of other people,
that it is time to come together III
making up the budget, and the
Councilmen agreed. Clerk An
drews was accordingly instructed 10
notify the Board of Education that
the joint meeting will be held on
Monday evening next in the Coun
Gil chamber, as the most convenient
and central point.
Councilman Conover introduced
the subject of wagon tax at Non
day nights session, in this way
How much license should the own
ers of a wagon drawn by three
horses he obliged to pay?
According to the ordinance gov
erning the license system, one-horse
wagons are taxed So; two-horse,
IS; but no provision is made for
an outfit such as used by Morrison
& Quinn.
Mr.. Conover's question remain
ed unanswered.
