The pastor of a Methodist church at
Dorrancetown, In Luzerne county, has
been removed by the Presiding Eldor
because of the stand be has taken in re

f.'iOil in debt and the members proposed
to reduce it by giving fairs and suppers.
At the recent monthly meeting the pastor
read a paper which created a great sensa
tion ainont his llock. Among other things
be said: "It is wrong for the religious
organizations to compote with stores,
restaurants anil concert nans to secure
the money necessary to meet itsexpenses
These should be met by unobtrusive,

Fearful of (be effects nf a northern

somewhere in the country away from tl e

still tho sweet soul ol the old days when
ho was with Moody, but the knowledge
that he is blind forever bears hard on
him. He who sang in front of thousands
now shrinks from the presence ol sympa

his days wailing his end. Once in a

Found Dead In Ills Wittfon.
Charles Detar was found dead in bis
wagon while returning from a trip to
IJallton, Elk connty, last Saturday. He
had been In the employ of N. F. Hoover,
of Marionvillo, who has been jobbing In
the bark woods at Wyukoop run, In the
edge of Elk county, and Mr. Hoover had
sent him out with the last load of bark,
and to br'ng back a load of feed. On h's
way back be came up with another team
ster and had lain down on the bags con
taining the feed. The head teamster sup
posing tliat ho had fallen asleep, kept
watch of the horses. Mr. Hoover, know
ing the roads to be rough and that dark
ness would probably overtake him, had
started on the way to meet Detar, which
he did about hall way between the two
places. Slopping the team be attempted
to rouse the supposed tleeper, when he
found to bis utter astonishment that
he vas dead. All efforts to find any
signs of life failed, though the body was
still warm, and Mr. Hoover thinks the
man could not have beeu dead moie thau
fifteen or twenty minutes. Arrange
ments were at once instituted for the
holding of an inquest, the jury returning
a verdict tl a', the mini had come to h a
death by unknown causes. The deceased
was well known In the vicinity of Ty

an orphan when but a mere child. He
was aged about 35 years, aud single. M r.

Ihiiitinir Horse Thieves.
On Friday night a mare, buggy and
harness were stolon from the stable of J.
K. Dale, of Pitchpine, Clarion county.
Mr. Dale is a member of the Anti-Horse
Thief Association and his home is equip
ped with a farmer's telephone. Insido of
an hour after the loss was discovered
there were 40 able-bodied farmeas and
their sons scouring the country in all di
rections for the missing property and the
Ihioves. Two of the party, Austin Sig
worth and .1, W. Kountz, arrived hereon
Sunday afternoon, having been on the
search for two days, but secured no trace
of the property. The animal is fat, 14
years old and has never been more than
20 miles sway from the owner's barn,
alio l bay In color, with a white stripe
on her face. The buggy is black, with
ied wheels and greeu cushions. As the
anlninl was very slow In locomotion it is
believed that (lie thieves abandoned her
alier a i-hoit drive. The gentlemen who
wore here Sunday explained tho methods
of the association. They each and all
p'ede themselves to respond to any
call made hy a member and keep up the
chase for three days if necessary, paying
each his own t xoenses. These associa
tions aro becoming common, and with
the system of ?o operative telephone
lines maintained by larmeis, t. e occu
pation of the horse thief is about gone in

The Smart A Silberberg store, In Oil

fire on Monday evening of this week, the
first discovery of the flames being about

occupied a porlioii of the ground Hour of
the big block, and bis stock was also
practically ruined. A tier of ollicts oc
cupied a part of the second lloor, and
o'.her oflices were located on the third
lloor. The losses are estimated at about
$275,000, wilb probably not more thau
one-third the amount covered by insur

Wild I'iseoiis My Keturn.
A special from Chardon, Ohio, of recent
date says: A flock of fully 500 wild pig
eons passed over Chardon last Saturday
afternoon. Hundreds of people who are
lamiliar with the markings of the wild
pigeon witnessed the sight. Tho llock
was also seon at Aquila lake. The reap
pearance of these birds after an absence
of 23 years has caused considerable spec
ulation among the sportsmen of this lo
cality. Wild pigeons were last seen near
Clmrdon in April, 188:1.
The last great flight of these birds iu
Northern Ohio was witnessed in the
spring of 187(1. The pigeons reappeared
In the spring of 1S77, but in greatly di
minished numbers. Their total disap
pearance later caused the belief to become
general that t' e birds bad become anni
hilated by markot hunters. For years
the Smithsonian Institution has had a
standing offer of $1,000 for a single speci
men of the American wild pigeon, At
various times the presence of pigeons has
been reported iu remote sections of for
eign countries, but all efforts to locate the
birds in the United States has proved
fruitless.

a tor considerable lung exercise started
out on foot over the rugged hills of Kings
ley t iwnship, to a little village known as
the Branch, bore they surprised the
hostess and enjoyd one of the mo t boun
tiful luncheons iu the history of the hive,
after which they gave their Lady Com
mander a fond adieu, and proceeded
homeward. But before we could lose
the last glimpse of the little village the
la lies made a motion that Lady Gillespie
make a stump speech which was im
mediately carried out, aud still feeling
that bor speech had done justice to tho
occasion she followed by a parody "Did
your fathor pcddlp fish," followed in the
0'jorus by the remaining ladies of tho
bivo; and then proceeding homewaid
experienced no more excitement, as all

The Clarion Democrat gives the follow
ing facts conceVnlng a case which has at
tracted considerable interest, not only in
that but other countii s, and demonstrates
anew the importance of school boards
knowing they are right before going
ahead :
"The case o A. J. Davis vs. The
school District of East Brady Borough
was tried before arbitrators October 28th,
and resulted in an award in favor of the
plaintiff in the sum of f!01.25. This
cade was brought by tho plaiutill, A. J,
Davis, to recover his salary as principal
of tho East Brady schools for the latter
part of the school term on the grounds
that be bad been unjustly removid lie
fore tho end r.f tho term without cause
and without a hearing.
"The plaintiff ulloges in his statement
ordain) that on or about October 1:1, KW3,
bo was elected principal of the East Brady
schools; that he entered upon bis duties
as teacher and principal on the l:ith day
of October, 1903, and continued to dis
charge the said duties until January 4th,
1001, when bo was dismissed and ousted
from the said school by the defendant
without a hearing and without reasonable
aud legal cause.
"The defendant in its affidavit of de
fense admitted the election of the pluintill
as principal of this schools, but alleged
that be was incompetent and negligent in
discharging his duties for which cause be
was dismissed. Afterwards, the defend
ant filed an amended affidavit of defence
denying that the plaiutill' was legally
hired and therefore he could not re' over.
The act of Assembly of Aptil II, 1802,
Section 4, provides as follows:
" 'That no tax for school or building
purposes shall be levied, no resolutions
shall be adopted for the purchase or sale
of any school real estate, no sch.iol bouse
shall be located or its location abandoned
or changed, no teacher shall bo appointed
or dismissed, no an nil a I school term shall
be determined on, nor shall any general
courses of studies be adopted or annual
seriea of text-books be selected, in any
common school district, except by the af
lirmalivo votes of a majority ol tho hole
number of 'bo directors or controllers
thereof; and in each of said ases the
