Educational TroubIes.

The board Of education OF Beaver
district is having some troubles Of its
own at this time on account of having
its school house at Dain, a small VII
lage two miles below here, closed and
a notice Of mo trespassing" posted on
Its doors. In plain English, the school
property was, for some unaccountable
reason, sold for taxes, probably taxes
due on the lots before they were con-
veyed to the school board, and the
property was purchased in the regular
way at sherifl's sale by Mr.. Wilson,
living here. 1t seems that no attention
was paid to the matter and the trustees
employed teachers and the schools
were TO begin the first Monday in Oc-
tober, when the trustees were notified
that the school board did not have any
school house, and Furthermore, that II
the trustees or any one else attempted
to take possession there, they would
be arrested. Then 1t was that the
trustees began to take notice, and a
hasty trip was made to sec the presi-
dent Of the board, with the result that
a special meeting Of the board Of edu-
cation was called at which a salts
factory adjustment was made and the
embargo on education in that par
ticular part Of the hemisphere has
been, or will be removed. and that the
purchaser of the property will be $50

Honesty Tested.

I. L. Bosh, the popular and armless
proprietor of "Pete's" cigar store on
Main street, is always looking for some
new idea and here is his latest for
testing the honesty Of his patrons. He
has small box made with a glass
top and a drawer in which are placed
one and two cent postage stamps for
sale. On placard on top of the box
is printed in large letters something
like this: Postage stamps for sale.
Help yourself; make your own change.
Be honest" And there, where every
one may help himself are not only the
postage stamps. but all kinds Of small
change as we'll. In speaking to the
writer concerning the venture, no said,
What do you think about It? Can /
stand it?' We remarked that We
thought II any one wanted TO steal
he would not try it on a person with
out hands. mo, you are mistaken
there" he said, 'if a person is going
to steal, he is INSCRIPTIONS, and will
steal every chance he gets"

GENERAL STRIKE
AT REDWOOD
IS ENDED
Industrial Trouble is Settled
When the Men Take Their
Jobs Back.

REDWOOD. Sept. 23.-The indus
trial strike which has been on at the
william F. MoSser tanncry and the
Cherry River Extract Company's
plants here for the last three weeks,
is now thing OF the past The local
labor union, which was organized the
first OF this month by the employees Of
these concerns. made certain demands
OF the companies, chief among which
was that they be recognized as a labor
organization, and this was the very
thing the companies absolutely re-
fused TO do, Consequently a strike
was ordered and the employees, num-
bering approximately $50 men, walked
out and the plants were shut down.
Guards were stationed around the
works and for time no one was al
lowed to enter for the purpose OF go
Ing to work for tho companies. Later
car load Of strike breakers were
brought in from Pittsburg to take the
place OF the men who quit, when the
train bearing the men arrived here
there was considerable excitement.
The train was met in the yards by
the strikers and the engineer was or
dered not to run his train down to the
tannery. Distractions were thrown
across the track, and after making an
attempt or two TO land the men at the
tannery, the engineer gavo ii up and
the strike breakers were unloaded in
the yards. They were met by the
strike leaders, and to them the men
claimed they were deceived into coming
here. They asserted they did not
know that strike was in progress
and when they were acquainted with
conditions they refused to go to work.
They were cared for and transporta-
ton furnished them back TO Plttsburg
by the union and sympathizers. After
holding or for week or two, some
of the men began to weaken and began
to go back TO their jobs. New men
were taken in and gradually their
places were filled until the plants
were again operating as before. A
meeting was called one day this week
and the strike was declared OF and
the most of the men are now back at
work. Thus ends the first serious lab
or trouble the town has ever exper-
fenced.

CITY Politics Buzzing.

With the terms OF the city commits
sioners about to expire. there is gem
eral revival OF interest in city poll
tics which had been permitted to die
down during the regime under the
present non-partisan form OF govern
ment. Grafton has been under the
commission form OF government over
two years and is just getting TO a
place where the real worth Of the
new system can be realized. The
friends Of the new system claim that
the commission form of city control
is a great improvement over the may
or and councilmanic form, but there
are, OF course, many who want re-
turn to the old form. The fact that
the matter is now supposed to be out
OF the hands OF the political parties
will cause at least half dozen can
didates to enter the race for mayor,
it is predicted. The present commits
sioners now have two Democrats and
one Republican in Office on the non
partisan election result. and this has
caused some dissatisfaction among the
Republicans, who are nominally in
control Of the city and county. 1t is
expected that each party will put up
its own men and that, even on the
non-partisan ticket, it will be virtual
ly the repetition of the old fight be-
tween the two dominant parties. The
name Of Ray NJ. Parrish is receiving
the most favorable attention. He is a
widely known real estate man and is
chairman OF the main committee of the
Republican county committee. The
Democrats have not yet shown any
open preference for any candidate in
particular.
