Super. intendent Stetler, President Thomp- son, and Directors Maddock, Whittle, Cook, Baltz and Brainard answered to roll call, Immediately after reading and approving the minutes of the last meeting the board granted the re- quest of the Daughters of the American Revolution to use the high school hall on the evening of April 27. . A boy who had been expelled a short time ago appeared before the board and requested that he be al- lowed to re enter school. He was asked if he would be good, and upon receiving an affirmative reply the board granted the request. Several bills were audited and ordered paid. A bill from the John Church Co, which has been running since April 27, 1903, was laid over for future action. A bill for coal from D. Clarey Coal company, for four tons of coal at 85 75 per ton created some dis- cussion. It developed that this was 25 cents per ton less than they have been paying another dealer, and while the discussion was in progress a telephone message was received from still another dealer saying that he would furnish coal at $5.50 per ton, or 25 cents less than the price charged by the Clarey company. No action was taken A committee from the Alumni was preSent and asked that the fund raised by the entertainments at the high school under the auspices of the association be laid one side for the purchase of books for the school library, and it was requested that a joint committee representing the board and the as sociation be appointed to select the books. The board expressed its approval. The president and secretary were instructed to make a temporary loan of funds with which to pay the teachers’ and janitors’ salaries, and the tax collector was in- structed to make a report once a month. A motion was made and carried directing the teachers to present their applications for reappointment on or before April 20th, Superintendent Stetler advised that more stringent measures should be taken to compel more regular attendance on the part of pupils of the borough schools, The matter was referred to the board's attorney. The base ball team of the high school presented a’ request that they be allowed to go to Towanda on Wednesday, April 25, to play ball at that place. It was the opin- ion of the board that these games should be arranged for Saturdays, It was reported to the board that a certain boy, under the supervis- ion of onc of the women teachers, had been whipped on March 5 and again on March 8. The second whipping that he received was be. cause he bragged about the first one, telling the other scholars that if he were whipped a second time he would be prepared for it. On the second occasion it was ascer- tiined that he had on three pairs of stockings, one pair of pants and a pair of rubber .boots, whith he deemed was of ample protection against the wiclder of the birchen stick.

A baaquet uv | IY ADE ROW yf TELE ACCENT Pulled Wife from Track as Pass- enger Running at High Rate of Speed Whizzed By Unusual caution and alertness gained from years of experience as a railroad man was doubtless the agent which saved not only the life of W. R. Raymond, the well known confectioner, but also the life of his wife, when the two by a hair's breadth escaped being run down and killed by an engine attached to a Lehigh special on the Auburn division of the Lchigh Valley. Yesterday afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Raymond walked up the branch and then went to the banks of the Susquchanna river for the purpose of looking for a location lor a summer cottage. They were accompanicd by Mr. Raymond's dog, a valuable Englizh setter, and after looking about for some time, started upon their return home. They walked along the southbound track until they reached a point near the ash track when a number of engines in the vicinity blowing off steam drowned the noise of an approaching passenger from the north. Mr. Raymond, how- ever, realizing the danger about looking backward. Presently he became aware of the presence of a train in the rear, and knowing that it was running at a high rate of specd he grabbed Mrs. Ray- mond and pulled her from the tracks just as the special whizzed by at the rate of 25 miles per hour. The dog in the meantime had run from underneath a string of freight cars directly in front of the passenger and was ground to pieces. The escape of Mr, and Mrs Ray- mond was most miraculous. As he pulled her from the track he felt the engine graze his clothing He attributes his prompt action to the fact that he learned while rail roading. not to lose his head, Mrs. Raymond was somewhat frightened but has suffered no ill effects from her narrow escape. The dog was considered valuable and Mr. Raymond greatly deplores its loss. PRINTING MATERIAL IS COING UP Recently printers’ supply houses have been sending out circulars to the trade announcing a cut of from ten to filteen per cent in the dis- counts on materials used in print- ing offices. This means an equiva- lent raise in the price of these ma- terials, and appears to be in keep- ing with the spirit of the times. RDuring the past year the printing industry has undergone a great change. The hours of labor have been reduced, with no decrease in the price paid for wages, printing maternal of all kinds has climbed steadily upward, and the only res coursc that the printer has is to raise the prices for completed work.
