day adopted resolutions on the death of

and endeared him to the hearts of all
who knew him best. His benefcent
influence upon the life of the commun-
ity will be widely felt for many years
to come.
1.-THE Harrisburg Principals Club,
of which Mr. Steele was a member,

in humble submission to the will of
Him who doeth all things well.'

our sincere sympathy, and express the
hope that they may yet live many
years, cheered and buoyed by the mem

kept and sustained by the gracious ia
vor of Almighty God"

lutions consisted of Anne E. Vert, A.

COMPLAINT is DISMISSED
Public Service Commission Will Not
Restore Reading Train From
Philadelphia to Hatboro

The Public Service Commission has
dismissed the complaint of the Business
Men s Association of Hatboro for the
restoration of the train which until No
vember 81, 1914, left the Reading

of lHatboro have two ways to return
from Philadelphia other than by train.
First, oy train to station at Noble on
the main line of the Philadelphia and

boro, and, second, directly by trolley

which carried the comedy end of the

Another part exceptionally well acted
was that of Bernard Coyne as Uncle

moter. Ivan Brockman, as Jack Jami-
son, carried the part of the hero, with
good effect. And all the rest assisted

ROAD IN BAD CONDITION.

The roads between here and White
bird are reported in bad condition, in
fact such roads have not been known
for years. Atty. Hattabaugh and
Stenographer Anger, who were down at
Whitebird on official business the first
of the week, got a horse down on the
return trip near the Adkison school
house and il it had not been for the
timely assistance of John Knorr, seri-
GUS consequences might have resulted.
Another traveller who is experiencing
some difficulty due to the bad roads
is gentleman travelling overland be-
tween south Idaho and Montana and
who arrived in Whitebird the other day
and found it necessary to put up his
machine until the roads improve which
will probably be several weeks before
he can arrive on top of the hill.
UNDER $3.50 BOND.
The case of the State of Idaho vs..
Henry Soards, which was ON trial at
Whitebird Monday resulted in the de.
fendant being bound over to keep peace
under bond of $3.50. It appears the
defendant had made various threats of
violence against citizens of that sec,
tion in times past and after examining
the witness, Justice Zurr, before whom
the hearing was held, decided bond of
the sum stated above would be about
right The bond was furnished by the
defendant who will perhaps use little
care in his remarks in the future. Atty
Gilmore went down to appear fol
Soards.
