(Continued from first page.) he visited his traps to secure tue catch. The foxes, opossums, minks, muskrats, etc., which were found in his traps, he brought to the school house, and at the noon recess, the boys had no end of rare fun and enjoy ment while skinning them. In 1806, a school house, the ex act location of which 1 have been unable to ascertain, stood near the home buildings on the old Thomas Griffith place. School was "kept" in it for several years, A Mr. Young was one of the teachers there. ' In 1809, three schools, up-to- date in character of work done in them, and very well patronized, were In operation in Wells Vallev. The teachers were John Alex ander, Ryan and Roach. The common school system was established in 1834; and ac cording to the law governing tbe operation of the same, the quali fied voters in each borough and township might adopt or reject the system at an election held to determine the matter. In ac cordance with this law an elec tion was held in Hopewell town ship, Bedford county, of which Wells Valley was a part, early in 1835. The election resulted in the adoption of the school system by a decided majority. It would be very interesting to know how Wells Valley voters stood at that election. Very soon after this election, six school directors were elected in Ilrpewell township, of which number Thomas Speer of Wells Valley was one. He owned and occupied the farm now owned by George W. Sipe. He was the father of the late W. A. Speer of Saluvia. Immediately after the organization of this board, they decided to build a number of school houses, two of which were to be in Wells Valley. These two were built in 1835 one at Gib son's, the other at Biven's. The first stood at foot of a steep bill field close to Gibson's Run, and near the present residence of Mr J. W. Gibson. The other was located in an angle formed by the intersection of mam valley road and Roaring Run on left of run and left of road looking toward New Grenada where run is spanned by a bridge near U. B. church. Because these houses were frame weather-boarded build ings, inside walls and ceiling plastered, larger than school house? usually were and warmed by old fashioned ten-plate stove instead of chimney fires, tbey were considered very fine. Each was lighted by three windows one on each side and one in end opposite the door. These win dows were long ones, extending nearly the length of the building and wide as the breadth of three 8 by 10 panes of glass. The Gibson house was used for school purposes until end of term of 1857-8, when it became tbe property of Mr. Alexander Gib son, who used most of it for fuel; but parts of it can now be seen as part of the granary m Mr. J. W. Gibson's barn. The Bivens house did duty as a school house until close of term of 1861 2, when it, too, became fuel. What memories and as sociations tbe thought of those old school houses call up. Tbe seats in those old school houses were made of slabs flat side up supported on stout sticks firmly fixed in auger holes bored in the slabs. There were no back supports to any of those seats, except in case of one at Gibson's. The desks were made of boards resting on strong sup ports fastened to the walls on both sides and one end of the building. When seated at the desks, pupils faced the walls with their backs toward the teacher. The only exception to this style of desk was on the "boys side" at Gibson's. Near the wall ex tending length of building was a double desk at which the boys sat facing one another. The intention was to open free school in those houses in fall of 1835; but it was found that the cost of construction of such fine buildings had exhausted tbe school funds; therefore, the open ing of free schools was postponed until more taxes could be levied and collected. During term of 1835-6 subscription Bcbools were taught in the new school houses by Messrs. Wm. Gray, sr., at Gibson's, and Ebenezer Drone berger at Bivens. (Continued next week,) Exciting Story. Elk lake, in Sullivan county, concealed for a time one of the deepest of Pennsylvania's crimin al mysteries. Nearly fifty years ago John Veitengruber, a little old cobbler, who lived near the lake, disap peared. No trace of him could be found. All during the snow-cov ered and ice-bound winter offi cers of the law made search for the little eld German or his body. He seemed to have vanished as completely as if the earth had swallowed him up. The story is one ot the most exciting of The North American's series of Pennsylvania crime mysteries. All who are interest ed in the criminal mysteries of the state will want to read this number of tbe series. $100 Reward, $100.

Even if you have a luxuriant head of hair you may want to know whether it is in a healthy condition or not. 98 per cent of the people need a hair tonic. Pull a hair out of your head; if the bulb at the end of the root is white and shrunken, it proves that tbe hair is diseased, and re quires prompt treatment if its loss would be avoided. If the bulb is pink and full, the hair is healthy. We want every one whose hair requires treatment to try Rexall '93" Hair Tonic. We promise that it shall not cost anything if it does not give satisfactory re sults. It is designed to overcome dandruff, relieve scalp irritation, to stimulate the hair roots, tight en the hair already in the head, grow hair and cure baldness.

Tbe conditions have been favorable for a good crop. The buds have not been pushed forward suffici ently to be injured by the present cool weather, and when they do open we will not be likely to have frosts severe enough to injure them. About the only thing now possible to injure the crop would be drowning caused by continued wet spell just while the blossoms are open. Mrs. Charles Mellott of Hus tontown, called at the News office a few minutes while in town do ing some Easter shopping last Saturday, THOMPSON. The sick in our community are all slowly improving. J. C. Comerer and daughter Miss Anna, ot Plum Run, spent a day in Hagerstown recently. Miss Annie Douglass is spend ing a few weeks witb her sister Mrs. Will Philips at Warren Point.

The Wisconsin Legislature has passed an act submitting the question of women suffrage to a vote of the people at the next election. Under the act. if it re ceives popular approval, women will have the right to vote for all officers but President To obtain even this concession is a victory for the suffragists, but it will be a great one to secure a majority for it at the polls.
