Just to disprove the truth of the saying that there is nothing new under the sun, something now in the way of forgeries was sprung upon the people of town during the past few days by a man named Henry Broatlt, the victim of the forgery being John Wellivcr, of Leonard street. Last Friday afternoon a strange man appeared at the office of W. R. Kocher on Seventh street and order ed a load of coal to be sent to 127 Railroad street. As payment for the coal he presented a check signed by John Welliver and made out to Henry Broadt, whom, ho said, was himself. He stated that he was em ployed by Mr. Welliver In his blacksmith shop. The check was for $13, and as the cost of the coal was considerably less than that amount, Mr. Sheep, bookkeeper at the office, gave him the change which amounted to several dollars. A short time afterward the same man appeared at tho office of W. C. Richart and ordered a load of coal sent to the same address as he hud given to Mr. Sheep and in payment for the same presented a check for $12 and received several dollars in change. The coal was accordingly loaded on the wagons and taken to the ahove address when it was found that the house belonged to Dr. Brunei: and that no family was living in the house. Tho check which Mr. Sheep re ceived was taken to the bank im mediately and cashed but the check received by Mr. Richart was not pre sented until Monday. It was then that the officials of the bank began to suspicion something wrong. The check was taken to Mr. Welliver who stated that the checks had not been written by himaelf and that he knew of nobody by the name of Henry Broadt. The signature, however, he stated, was so near like his own that it could be distinguished only by three letters in the name which were made differently from what ho made them. Mr. Richart and Mr. Sheep both think that they could recognize tho man if they saw him but it is not likely that they will ever see him, as there is not the least clew to his identity. QUARANTINE COUNTY DuGS. Agent Fulmer of tho State Live Stock Sanitary Board was in Dan ville Tuesday and established a Btate quarantine of all dogs in that vicinity. Thi3 order in no wise affects the quarantine established by the Borough hut places as well tho authority of the state back of the quarantine. In view of tho fact that tho mad dogs ran amuck in Cooper and Mahon ing townships and in Montour town ship in Columbia County there is a move on foot to extend the quaran tine to those townships. Agent Ful mer looked into conditions there Tues day. With no Boards of Health to enforeo tho quarantine, the duty devolves upon the School Boards and if the me.nbera agree to enforce the quarantine, at special meeting which will bo held, tho quaruntino will bo established. GONE TO PANAMA. Miss Helen Vandet slice left last Thursday for New York City, where she joined Miss Swartz, teacher of elocution in the local Hieh School, and together they j started on Saturday for Panama where they will spend me summer.

On Friday evening a students' recital was given in Normal Auditorium. The Junior contest in oratory was held on Saturday evening at which time an interesting program was rendered.

"The Lady of Lyons," a play in five acta and numerous scenes, was presented in the Normal auditorium Monday evening in the presence of an audience that entirely filled the large auditorium. CLASS REUNIONS. Tuesday was essentially one of reunions at the Normal School, a large number of alumni being present from many classes. The only classes in reunion, however, were 1883, 1893, 1898, 1903 and 1906. The shining light at all of the reunions and es pecially of the older classes was C. B. Noetling, of Beaver Valley, a former instructor at the school and one beloved by all who had the privi lege of receiving instruction from him. He was given a very hearty reception. IVY DAY EXERCISES. Forming two by two, each carrying an orange and black nennant and joined by long chains of daisies, the class of 08 or the Bloomsburg Normal School marched to the lower campus Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock where a most appropriate Ivy program was rendered. DR. WALLER GAVE GOOD ADVICE. Joseph Shovlin, president of the class, acted as chairman of the meet ing and after a few remarks, called upon Dr. D. J. Waller, who very happily gave some good, sound advice to the graduating class. He congratu lated the members of the class upon the success of their efforts and spirit during the time that he has had their acquaintanceship. The class has been a harmonious one and could look back to their days at the Normal with unalloyed pleasure. He told them not to allow the diploma which they would receive to satisfy them but to use it as a fourdation upon which to build higher. The importance of an education is greater now than ever before. Many of the men and women of influence are those with a college education. He urged them to get as high an cdeuation as they could pos sibly attain. In this country you can go as high as you want to in educa tion, it is only a question of deter mination and sacrifice. CLASS POEM READ. The class poem was then read by Miss Martha James and was an excel lent one giving a brief sketch of the three years' work at tho school and many pleasant occurrences. IVY ORATION GOOD. The Ivy oration, by Merrill Smith, was an excellent one and was given in a distinct tone of voice, lie stat ed that tho Ivy used to symbolize the points or tho bright Hide of life but that he was going to use it in a more serious way. He referred to tho Ivy poison, both the three and five leaf kind, and used them as ex amples of the people in life whom we will need to avoid or they will des troy our lives as the Ivy will poison our bodies. Every cloud has a silver lining, is an old saying but tho speaker stated that it should be changed to read every silver lining has a dark cloud. As the graduat ing class is now witnessing the silver lining or the graduating time, they should prepare to meet the dark douda Hot Weather Underwear !

The oration was an excellent one and'showed much prep aration. PROF. SUTLIFF'S PRACTICAL TALK. Prof. Sutliff was then called and gave a very practical talk which was well received. He stated that he had nothing personal to say of the class of 1908, and that he had no degrees to offer as is often done in the colleges but he had a choice variety of advice to give. The Ivy typifies many things and he expressed a wish that the class of 1908 might have many heads that a crown of Ivy might adorn in future years. JAY GRIMES READ WILL. The class will was well gotten up and was read by Jay Grimes. He bequeathed everything the class own ed to different persons at the school, including the faculty. He referred to the money which had been left by the class for tho remodeling of the grove and making it into a handsome park.. Following the Ivy song by the class, the Ivy was planted along side of the building by Joseph Shovlin. CLASS DAY EXERCISES. Before a large and appreciative audience of parents and others inter ested in education, tho Class Day ex ercises of tho class of 1908 held in Normal auditorium Tuesday evening proved to be one of the best and most appreciated numbers on the Com mencement program. The stage was beautifully decorat ed with large palms and numerous boquets of cut flowers, while stretch ed across the front of the stage was a black banner upon which were in scribed tho words, "Facta nun verba," the class motto, translated deeds, not words. Around the gallery was a black strip of bunting upon whith hung numerous orango and black pennants and festoons of orange artistically drapod around the gallery. While tho Normal orchestra was playing a selection tho graduating class marched into the room two by two, the officers of tho class and those participating in the program taking seats on tho stage while all others occupied seats in the front part of the auditorium. President of the class, Joseph Shovelin, then gave the President's address in which he ex tended a hearty welcome to all pre sent. After paying a glowing tri bute to the principal, Dr. D. J. Waller who is held in tho highest Continued on page 8, SEIKO'S THE SPRING ELECTION. A Proposed Amendment to tho Constitution That Will Abolish It. The proposed amendment to the constitution of Pennsylvania passed by the Legislature at its last session will be considered by the next Leg islature. They should be the sub ject of free and considerable dis cussion by the people in the canvass for the election of members. There are several of these proposed amend ments, but those which are of the widest concern to all the people of the state are the ones providing for the abolition of the February elec tion. If these amendments are adopted all the elections thereafter, both for general and municipal of ficials will take place in November. The intention is to so arrange the tenure of the several officials that the choice of the state officers, with congressmen and members of the Legislature, shall fall upon the even numbered years, while those offic ials that are new chosen in Febru ary shall be elected in the odd uum beied years. This is with a view to still keep the general and munic ipal elections separate. SENIORS ALL PASSED. At 12 o'clock on Thursday night the students at the Normal School were called into the chapel, and the announcement was made by Depu ty State Superintendent Teitrick that all the members of the Senior Class had passed the examinations by the State bourd.
