directors was held in the high
school building last night. Thomp
son, Whittle, Brainerd, Cpok,
Baltz, Talada and Maddock an-
swered to the roll call. The busi-
ness transacted was of a routine
nature, including the paying of the
teachers’ and janitor’s salaries, and
also the salaries of the secretary
and treasurer of the board.
In the matter of Miss May Wat-
kins, who is entered on the rolls as
a non-resident, was brought to the
attention of the board by her
brother, who was present at the
meeting. It appears that a bill for
tuition had been rendered to Miss
Watkins, but it developed that she
was living in Sayre with a relative,
and although her parents resided
without the state, the board decid-
ed that she was entitled to attend
school the same as a resident.
The truant officet presented a
bill amounting to $5 So, but as the
superintendent stated that there
had been an error in the number
of hours charged by the officer,
the amount was cut to £4 40, which
was ordered paid.
The insurance amounting to $50
on the high school building fix-
tures and text books, was also or-
dered paid, and the tax collector’s
report was received and placed on
file. ;
A new desk was purchased for
the superintendent’s- room. The
piece of furniture was much needed
and makes an excellent addition
to the room.
Superintendent Stetler reported
that seats were badly needed
in the new Fourth Ward School
building. The matter was referred
and action will be taken later.
A sum not exceeding $10 was
appropriated to purchase a treatise
on birds. The teachers have suc-
ceeded in interesting the pupils in
the Audubon Bird society and re-
quested that a work be purchased
which would stimulate this inter-
est,
A resolution was presented and
adopted authorizing the committee
on the central building to provide
cases for the collection of minerals
and specimens received from the
museum at Philadelphia.
The monthly salary of Miss Ful-
ford, one of the teachers, was fixed
at $40.
The Christmas vacation was
fixed from December 23cd to Jan-
uary 2nd, inclusive, whereupon the
board adjourned.
THE KING OF TRANPS
A powerful melo-drama, abound-
ing with startling sensations, beau~
tiful sceriery and a strong acting
company, constitute the main
characters of "The King of Tramps.”
The author has made the central
figure that of a tramp, an escaped
convict, innocent but unjustly
sentenced for another man's crime,
that of murder. He finally es-
capes from prison and to hide
his iJendtity becomes a tramp,
It is a powerful, sensational play,
full of mirth and pathos, but pure
in thought, action and language:
Every lover of good melo-drama
should avail himself of the oppor
tunity to sce this great play and
production at the Loomis, Dec. 7.
Prices 10, 20 and 30 cents,

Leon Wolcott and Floyd Vancise
Held in Bail While Sentence Is
Suspended in the Cases of John
Vancise snd Howard Draper
Yesterday afternoon Judge Fan-
ning ordered Leon Wolcott and
Floyd Vancise to give bail in the
sum of $200 for further appearance
at court and suspended sentence
upon John Vancise and Howard
Draper. The charge against the
four boys was entering Hart's plan-
ing mill east of the Lehigh tracks
and committing various depreda~
tions. In suspending sentence on
the two younger boys the court
placed themein the custody of Con-
stable Spencer Brougham apd
Chief Walsh of this place to whom
they are to report each month,
The court gave the lads some ex-
cellent advice, which, if they heed
will likely keep them out of trouble.
He told them to attend Sunday
school and stay home at night. He
urged upon them the necessity
being good boys, upright and hon-~
est, else they may see the doprs
of prison open and bring disgrace
upon themselves and their parents.
The older Vancise boy and young
Wolcott were held and their cases
will come up later.
In the case of John B. Ackley of
Athens, who was charged with
stealing a load of stone, the jury
brought in a verdict of not guilty,
the defendant to pay one-third of
the costs and the prosecutor the
remainder.
Judge Fanning commented upon
the fact that there were only a few
cases up for trial and that only a
small number of prisoners were
confined irr the county jail
