FORGERY SCHEME WORKED.
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.

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.

COMMENCEMENT WEEK.
Well Rendered Proqrami CIojci a Success
tul Year's Work at the Normal.
On F'riday afternoon at 5 o'clock
the music pupils of the first, second
and third grades give a recital. 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. On Sunday after
noon the baccalaureate sermon was
preached by Dr. D. J. Waller, Jr.
MIDDI.RRS DRAMA.
"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

in later years. 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

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. Speeches were
made by each ot the examiners.
