The secretary of the commonwealth has directed that certificates of nomina tion and nomination papers be modified to conform to requirements of recent legislation.

Nominations for state officers and judges by nomination papers must be tiled 35 days before election and of county offi cers 21 days. The Supreme Court has laid down two rules which make it difficult for bicy clists to recover damages from a railroad Company ror accidents at crossings. The first is tiiat no recovery of damages can be had if theie is any contibutory negligence on the part of the persons injured, and again, everybody must "stop, look and listen" before crossing the track. Some time ago a bicyclist at Phiadelphia was killed 011 a crossing aud his widow sued for damages. Although it was shown that the company was negligent in not giving any warning of an approaching train, and although the bicyclist "looked and listened" and made a circle with his wheel before crossing the tracks, the Supreme Court decided against the widow because the man did not dismount. The case was that of Robertons vs the Pennsylvania Railroad, which is reported in 100 Pen nsylvania reports, page 48, in which the Supreme Court held that the bicycle stop—circling about—is not the legal stop, but the bicyclist must dismount, "look and listen'' before crossing rail road tracks.

Oil Monday morning at the bidding [ of the old Jefferson street schoolhouse s bell more than 2,000 boys and girls as sembled in the four public school build irigs in Butler and for the next ten months the pupil who likes to go to school and the one who don't like to go , will answer to roll call with more or t less regularity twice a day. The above 1 figures are those given out as a rough estimate by Superintendent J. A. Gib I j son. Particularizing Prof. G ibson stated that 170 "six-year-olds" ha 1 ' j started in and the High School class ' for the year lit'H( at present numbers 75, making a total of alwut 150 iu the ' school. Last year the number of pupils ; enrolled was 1925. Allowing for a loss | of 100 by graduation and other ways I still leaves a net increase of at least MM) I pupils, or about 5 per cent. ! All the buildings were in proper ■ shape for occupancy except the ad j dition built to the McKean building for ' i the High School and while its interior is being prepared High School will be located in tn.- second story of the Y.
