Many anxious inquiries are made
concerning the condition of George W.
Warden, general manager of the extern
sive numbering operations of Wheeler &
Dusenbury at Endeavor, whose illness
was noted in these columns couple of
weeks ago. While yet in precarious
state of health 1t is gratifying to learn that
his physicians are encouraged by their
patients progress, which, though neces-
sarily slow owing to the nature of his all
ment, is nevertheless in the right direc-
tlon.
The Hickory township school board
met Monday and reelected the following
teachers for the com ng year: Endeavor,
High School, Laura Smutz, principal,
No. 4, Iva d. Carpenter, No, 8, Dora A.

Christine Anderson; Queen, Ethel Doug
las; Beaver Valley, Maude Head. On
account of contemplated changes in the
schools, teachers we're not elected for the
Church Hill and Albaugh schools. The
length of the term will be the same as
heretofore, eight months, but the open
ing date was not decided.
The Allegheny river and other
streams are still filled with floating dead
fish, and interested parties, including
fish wardens and fishermen. are begin
ming to wonder If the thousands of dead
bodies seen were the victims of disease
or dynamite. The fish are so numerous
that they leave a very undesirable stencil
along the streams and on shallow RIFLES
hundreds have lodged. They are mostly
of the species known as "soft' fish
suckers, chubs, horned dace and the
like. The fish warden Is puzzled, and
though he has made many trips along the
river he cannot find any trace of dyna-
mite being used except the floating dead
fish.-Wsrren Times.
