CITIZENS' MEETING ONJOUTH SIDE A citizens' meeting was held in | Gearhart towsshlp Saturday night for the purpose cf taking action looking ; to the establishment of a high school ' on tlie south side. The meeting wan held in the public school ouiluiug, South Danville, uud was well attend ed. There is a division among the resi dents of Oearhart township on the subject of a high school, which was an issue at the spring election. As re vealed by the vote a large majority were in favor of a high school. The directors elected since entering upon their office, however, have become alive to certain conditions, which in their opinion militate against the suc cess of township high school. As a re sult the.v have uot shown that prompt ness and alacrity in entering upon the preliminaries that was looked for by the taxpayers who voted for a high echocl. Realizing that no time Is to be lost, if a high school ia to be provided for by the opening of the next term, the citizens in favor of the measure are a'ming to set the directors Into lice in order of the wishes of the majority may be carried out. The meeting, Saturday night, was preceded by one held on Tuesday nigl r of last week, at which time the coun ty superintendent of the schools was present with the board of directors and the law bearing on the subject was fully considered. It was made clear that 110 legal obstacles intervene and that the district having the re quired number of children eligible for high sciiool can proceed to establish one. There are those, however, who see complicatons ahead growing out of the fact that the south sida pupils up to the present at school ia Dauvllle would not attend the high school on the south side,but would elect to com plete the course at the Dauville high school with its higher and more com prehensive course of study. No action was taken at the meeting Tuesday uigiit. At the meetiug Satur day night after a prolonged aud earn est discussion a committee was ap pointed to look into statistics aud gather other information relating to the high school proposition. The com mittee will make it- report at a meet ing to be held at the same place next Thursday evening, « • 11 seine definite and perhaps diMtic a< tlon will betak en. Meanwhile there is a general holdup of the alTair* of the school dis trict and the teachers fjr tiie ensuing year have not n« yet been elected. Park Rapidly Losing its Charm. The want of ruin is piainly shown at Memorial pari;, where in spite of epriukiing the grass is dying in spots and the flower-- seem dwarfed and stunted. Whether greater quant; ; * of water regularly aud systematically a; plied by sprinkling would wholly take the place of rain anil would reinv:,:- orate the grass and flowers may bo a question. Considering what is at stake, however,any experiment woul i be justified regardless of the amount of water used aud of the labor involv ed. The park as a result of the drought is rapidly losing oue of its principal charms, which lies in the sod and flow ers. FLAG POLE NOT KAISED. The steel flag pole was delivered at the park a week ago aud it lies on the spot where unloaded, at the eastern end of the tract. Up to the preseut 110 move lias been taken looking to the actual planting of the pole, which is a matter of surprise to many people. The great flag would look very pretty floating on the summer breeze, when the occasion calls for it. The change of season will be here almost before we dream of it, when naturally tie park will lose its charm and cease to be an attraction to the masses. Tl e flag can not be raised too soon. The planting of the flag pole seems to rest in the hands of tiie council manic committee of public improve ments, which no doubt has had some reason for uot beginning work up to the present.

INDUSTRY BOARD PUSHING TOWN Northumberland id uot content with sitting idle accepting what taue iks Hie coming ui tia el» s;t:nation yards o( tne Pennsylvania railroad may bestow. lustead, in terms of the great American game.it is "crowding its lack.'' Two oiktanizatious have fi rat ed with the purpose ot pushing the town, of bringing its advantages as a center before tne general public, of making it more attratcive as a resi dence town. The first of these organizations is a bureau of industry, formed on March aud, through the efforts of Sa.-iuel Todd, A. K. Jacoby and Harry T. Leisenring. Its officers are O. D liolig, president; Waireu Gutelius, secrttary aud John Sheef, treasrrer. It lias 13<> ooutribu' ux uieiubeis, all actively engaged in ii- s pport.

The second oiganization. whose wuik is as important as the first, is the Civic Improvement societv. Its aim is to make Northumberland a more at tractive place to live in. Regarding cleanliness as an essential virtue, it has urged each citizen to take person al pride in the town, and to keep his own premises in the best condition. An important move is the ordering of steel boxes which will be placed on the streets, and in which people will be asked to put their rubbish, instead of tossing it into tlie streets. The cost of street cleaning will in this way be considerably reduced. Another way iu which tlie town has shown a sensible attitude toward its prospective prosperity is that the bureau of industry has urged the peo ple not to raise the price of property to a prohibitive point where no buyer would purchase it, but to keep the price within reasonable limits so that capitalists seeking investments iu oither building homes or erecting busiuess places, might be given addi tional inducements to do their share toward building up the town Everyone would be benefited by tak ing Foley's Orino Laxative for stom ach aud liver trouble anil habitual contipatiou. it sweetens the stomach and breath, gently stimulates the liv er aud regulates the bowels and u much superior to pill> aud ordinary laxatives.

The bovs, nin- of whom W6re over sixteen years nf age, were given treat ment for cuts and bruisas by Dr. Mar ion Vastine early on Monday morn ing, and were badly cut about the face aud neck.

When tiie traiu reached Oatawissa Seltz aud Henderson jump ed. and were sent rolling against the side of the mountain b9low the sta tiou. and both were rendered uncon scious. Wiieu they came to tiiey ware bleeding from many wouuds, aud ly ing iu a gutter alongside the track. At Rupert tlie other boys jumped. They were sent rolling down a teu foot embankment, aud were also cut aud bruised. Picking themselves up they walked painfully to the Oata wissa -tation, where they found the other two boys more dead than alive.
