THE REPUBLICAN. ~yr. EI. CDKWHT, - - • - K4it»r. ygiPAY. JAHUARY airTros! Townahlp nigh Mehsel, Representative Emerson Collins, of Lyeoming, introduced a bill in the House Thursday which is the first step toward establishing high ochools in the rural district*. The measure allows two or more districts to establish joint high eehools to be classified as of three different grades—those in which the course of study is of four year's duration to be known as the first grade; those in which the course is three years to be known as the eeo ond grade, and those of two years as third grade. From the aunual appropriation for the support of high schools the first grade shall re ceive not more than SBOO annually, the second S6OO and the third S4OO. In case of insufficiency of appropria tion each grade is to receive a pro« priational share. The bill desi gnates the studies in which the tea chers of auch schools ahall be exam ined, requires an annual statement to be made to the Superintendent of Pablic Instruction giving full infor mation as to the teacher, classes and courses of study. The course of study is subject to the Approval of the Superintendent of Public In struction. Divorced Six Times. Mrs. Mary J. Dunley and James P. Dunley, six times divorced and seven times married, were united for the latest—and they say the last— time by Justice Randall H. White at Chicago, Saturday. It was rather • surprise to the groom, (or he did not expect to be one of the chief par ties to a wedding when he came in to court. Instead he expected to answer to charges of assault and battery and making threats to kill. The charges had dcen brought by Mrs. Dunley, but when she had again e*cnred James as a husband she de cided to forgive him and the prose oution w°s dismissed. Mr. Dunley is forty-two years old, the bride is forty. They were Drst married in Pennsylvania, nearly twenty years ago. They got along pretty well for some time, until James, so Mrs, Dunley says, took to drink. Then she left him and secur ed a divorce. Shortly after they aet, mad* up, and were again mar ried. After another family quarrel Mr. Dunley got divoroe No. 2, and moved to Ohio. There they were again married, and there divorce No. o wa3 obtained. Anether wedding we.B celebrated in Michigan ami then the couple moved to Chicago. A divorce was one of the firnt things tliey got in that city. Again they decided to try married life. James was doing pretty well in tin coal business, but not eo well in wedlock, end divorce No. 5 w*9 in order, then he repented, and again Reeking bis first love succeeded in inducing her to forgive hira. Justice Lyon married them thr.t time. Pretty coon they disagreed and divorce No. C was in order. Mrs. Dunley was sure that she would never again be married, and as she had the coal business she caused her name to be inserted in the city directory as "Mary J. Dunley, widow of James, coal, No. 1713 Dearborn street." STEMLTOK PA., Jan. 31, 1895.

This most gamy and once the most abundant of the game birds of Pennsylvania is in danger of extinction at the hands of the pot hunter. It is proposed, therefore, to make it illegal to kill any ruffled grouse or pheasant until the year J 905 or to sell or purchase or tran sport from the State any pheasants kill within the State. The bill should become a law. It is a choice betweeu that and the extinction of the pheasant. Wyoming Kemul»llem»i» Chme E. J. Jordan lor the Yarauey In ConfrcM.
