The Out iu the School Appropriation. Governor Stone's action in cut ting clown the school appropriation of Pennsylvania has caused many bitter denunciations ot Ins course as well as of the Legislature, which retusea to provide tne proper amount of revenue for the appro' priation bills they passed. The Senate refused to pass the House bill to tax beer, which would have saved the cutting down of the school appropriation. The brewers held too strong a hand. 1 he cut in the school appropriation will make the following differences in the counties named : Coimtv. Appro'n.

How strange this seems, and yet it is truly character- ( istic of that country. Thus again j is it proven, tnat tne second thoughts are the best. Concerning Barber Shops. ine loiiowing article is going the rounds of the newspapers ot the state: "The law recently enacted at Har risburg regulating Barber shops will work an innovation in the shops all over the state. Under the law it will be necessary to subject the shaving brush to a steam bath every time it is used, while the razor used upon a customer must be dipped into an antiseptic solution before being applied to another man's face individual cups must be used, as no two persons are to be shaved with lather from the same cup while fresh soap must be used with each customer. A fresh towel will also be provided for each person shaved. Combs, brushes and other implements must be steamed, thor oughly cleansed and the shops must at all times be clean and tidy. In order to secure the enforcement cf this law three inspectors are to be appointed, and it will be their duty to canvass their districts just as is done by the factory inspectors. There is some mistake about this No copy of such an act has been filed in the Prothonotary's office as required by law, and we are inform ed by Representative Chrisman tnat sue 11 an act was introduced m the Legislature, but did not piss.

Frank Thompson, President of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany, died at his home in Marion at 7:20 Monday evening, alter a short illness. The cause of death was heart failure. He had been in ill health for some time, but at no stage of his sickness was his condition considered critical On Monday a sudden change was noticed and his physicians were at once summoned, but de spite their efforts to resuscitate the patient, he lapsed into uncon sciousness and passed peacefully away. Mr. lnompson was born in Chambersburg, this state, July 5th 1841, of Scotch ancestry, his grand father having sailed from Scotland and settled in the Cumberland Valley in 177 1 . He was educated at the Chambersburg Academy, and at the age of 17 entered the Altoona shops of the Pennsylvania Railroad, from where he graduated as me chanical engineer four years later. From this time on promotions came rapidly from one position to anoth er, until October 1882, when he was made first vice president ot the road Mr. Thompson, by reason of his vast experience and great ability took hold of that part of the business entrusted to his care in a most masterly manner and at the death of George B. Roberts in February 1897 he was advanced to the presidency. He reduced railroad management to a science and was considered by all, to be one of the ablest of American rail road managers. His duties occupied his time to such an extent that he was never identified with much else. He was however a director of the Equitable Life Insurance Company of Phila delphia. There are few meu who can show a record better than that of Frank Thompson, and his won derful capacity for work and organ ization which he displayed during his brief term as president, will make it extremely difficult for his successor to maintain the high standard which he developed and maintained. STATE NEWS ITEMS. Hx-Representative Byren, of Fayette, charged with alleged brib ery, , entered $800 bail, at Harris- bmg, Tuesday.

LOTS OF BARGAINS- AT TOWNSEND'S Star Clothing House Pawne2 Bi t's Wild West Show- drew big crowds at both perform ances last Saturday. In the after noon many people were compelled to stand, while in the evening every available seat was taken. From the manager we learned that this was the best town they had struck this season. There was nothing very beautiful about the street parade, but it was illustrative of true wes tern lite. Judging irom tne ap plause the show was one thoroughly to the liking of the crowd who at tended it. ' Charles Whitmire dropped dead at his home in Center township Monday morning from heart failure.

A CARD TO THE PUBLIC The story being circulated by my opponents and some of their friends tnat I, as one of the school direct ors for the Town of Bloomsburg, seconded the motion to change the salary of the County Superintend ent from $1075 to $1500 at the late convention of directors, is false in every particular. I did not second the motion, but on the other baud, voted against it. This is the truth of the matter, and those that sat near me will bear me out in it. It shows to what extremes my ene mies will gd to wrong me. J. C. Rutter, Jr. The foregoing statements sworn to and subscribed before me, May 31,1899. Guy Jacob y, J. P. Card of Thanks. . Col.

Underneath the sod-of -our Ceme- tries lie the mouldering ashes of our comrades who when our country call ed for men, bade adieu to home and loved ones and for four long years made their breasts a living bulwark between those who would destroy our government and our northern homes.
