Investigation to Be Mado Concerning
Different Applicants for Relief,
A committee of four was appointed
at yesterday's poor board meeting, to
Investigate the cases of various peoplo
on the books and dcvls new und better
methods of relief. The committee con
sisted of Messrs. Fuller, Dlckert, Shot
ton nnd (llllesplo. It was also decided
that the different people, accepting re
lief from the board, be summoned to
n. meeting -and go through on examin
ation. This will tnke tip considerable
time, but the board will consider tlio
cases by districts and give them a thor
ough overho.ullng.
These moves were made owing to tha
fact, that although this year has be?n
In every respect a more properous. and
better ono than last year, the expen
ditures for relief up to Nov. 1, are over
$14,000 while In U98 they were only
over $12,000.
There were seven applications for
relief yesterday, three being refused.
Mr. lieemor, superintendent of the
Hillside Home, presented his report,
which was accepted. During the month
ot October thirteen sano men nnd four
Insane men were admitted to I ho lnstl
tutlon while nine women, six Insane
and three sane were nlso admitted.
During the month two Insane men and
eight pane ones vierc discharged from
the Institution, and two sane women
vrre discharged. Tour lnsuno men
and one sane died, and one demented

that the teachers In the various dis
tricts organize rond'ng circles and ar
range programmes not only for tlio
intellectual benefit to be derived but
nlso for the opportunity afforded by
these gatherings for social Intercourse.
Superintendent Taylor also made a
brief address to the teachers In which

worked out and arranged all the plana
for the Institute together. He urged

and school grounds neat and attrac
tive looking.
He announced that the first Friday
in December nnd the first Friday In
February wore appointed visiting dnys
and asked the teachers to see that the
parents of the children were properly
Invited to attend the schools on these
days. Ho also referred to the fact
that there Is a great deal of laxity ot
discipline prevalent and he Instructed
the teachers to tench the children that
the brain should be tho master of thJ
tongue Instead of vice versa.

A. Walker, Callicoon DEror, N. Y.
by Dr. Schaeffer, who spoke on "Th"
Story of the Oregon Country."
In beginning his remarks he said
that the most Interesting place In
Scranton to him was, the public li
brary, where he spends much time
when he comes to this city nnd whero
he was enabled to find a certain rare
book which he needed for reference
yesterday.
He spoke of the last land maps Is
sued by the land olllce showing that
Oregon was not Included in the origi
nal Louisiana purchase of 1S03. Ho
said the United States were entitled
to the territory now Included in Oregon
by rights of discovery, exploration,
settlement and occupation.
Ho then dcscrlued the LewiS' und
Clark expedition sent out to explore
the country by President Jefferson. He
related in a truly graphic manner a
scene at a banquet given after a set
tlement had been nm.de when an In
dlun from the wilds of Canada deliv
ered a speech which the doctor said
ranked with the finest gems of Cicero
or Demosthenes. The Indian and some
companions had come hundreds of
miles to get what they called the
"White Man's Hook of Heaven" and
the Indian's speech was a sorrowful
outpouring of hl heart when he
learned that there were no mission
aries or no book to teach hlin and his
people the Great Spirit.
When tills story reached the east It
stirred up ministers of the gospel and
many of them went out to this wild
region. Including the celebrated Dr.
Whitman, to spread the faith.

TELEPHONE BILL
HAS BEEN STOLEN
THE LACKAWANNA ORDINANCE
TAKEN FROM THE FILES.
Was to Have Been Presented nt
Thursday Night's Meeting of Se
lect Council Under the Head of
Concurrent Duslness but It Was
Not nt Hand When This Order of
Business Wns Reached and Noth
ing Has Since Been Heard of Its
Whereabouts.
The Lackawanna Telephone ordin
ance Is lost, strayed or stolen. It was
taken from City Chirk Lnvolle's ofllco
some time during the ufternoon or
early evening, Thursday and up to the
close of oll'cc hours yesterday no trace
of It has been found.
The ordinance passed thltd reodlnff
at the last meeting of common council
und after being entered on tho minute
books by Clerk Hugh A. Jones, wa3
sent down to the city clerk's olllce with
a bundle ot other measures that were
to go before select council for concur
rence These measures, ns is ttie practice,
were placed In tho "Fifth order" box,
which Is kept In an orou cabinet In thu
city clerk's olllce.
At Tihutmluy night's meting thu
lifth oidir or concurrent business wart1
all presented and uctcd upon but no
telephone ordinance appealed. City
Clerk Uivello did not notice that th
ordinance was missing until one of tho
members came to him after the meet
ing and asked what had become of It.
LAVELLE KNF'.V NOT.
CIcy Clerk Lavelle wu-i .it loss for an
answer, and could only e ly he would
look It up. Yesterday ne looked It
both up and down, but his search was
unavailing
Clerk Jones of the common council
when questioned about the matter said
lie knew nothing of the present where
abouts of the ordinance. If it was In
his o'llce it was there unknown to him.
in.- ii4iu it uuwn sia.irs 10 in" cuy cicnt i
and if It was not there he could off or
no suggestion ns to when- It had got
ten to.
City Clerk Lavelle says that Clerk
Jones enmo down In the afternoon of
Thursday unci nsked to be given the or
dinance ns some of the members did
not want It presented until the suc
ceeding meeting. As Clerk Jones Is a
new man In city hall and Inexperienced
In the "doings" of Its denizens. City
clerk Lavelle offered hhr. some ndvlcii
Ir. tho matter of granting requests that
were liable to get him Into troublo
and Mr. Jones departed is far as Mr.
Lavelle knows without the o'--linanco.
JONES MEVNT NO WRONG.
Mr. Jones thought theie was nothing
Irregular In the request made, ho
says, and the fact that he practiced n&
surreptitious methods in attempting to
carry It out, tends to prove his inno
cence of any wrong doing.
The fact still remains that the ordin
ance Is missing and that there was a
desire on the part ot certain persons
that It should disappear for a time at
lesse. City Clerk Lavella will not ha
pntlsflod with the return of the ordln-
nnco He will Insist on knowing whit
caused its disappearance, and who
caused It to disappear.
