A Good Man Selected for Our Next Superintendent of Schools. The School Directors’ convention held in Somerset, Tuesday, May 6th, was largely attended by people from all parts of the county, and of the 264 di- rectors in the county, 241 participated in the convention. The object of the convention was to elect a superintend- ent of schools for the ensuing three years, as the term of Superintendent Pritts expires next month. There were three candidates in the field for the office, viz: Profs. W. A. Seibert, O. O. Saylor and H. G. Lepley. Mr. Lepley, however, withdrew on the day of the convention, as it was appar- ent to his friends that he stood no show whatever to be elected. In fact his candidacy was not seriously con- sidered at any time by any of the di- rectors. His withdrawal, therefore, changed the situation but very little, ~ When the convention was called to order, Judge Francis J. Kooser, of Som- erset, and Esquire Daniel Will, of New Centerville, were nominated for chair- man of the convention, the former win- ning by a majority of 20 votes. The voting for Superintendent soon followed, and ‘as Tue STAR freely pre- dicted for several weeks, Prof. Seibert proved an easy winner. The vote was 133 for Seibert and 108 for Saylor, As usual, the Salisbury directors were on the losing side. Both candidates are good and capa- ble men, and in choosing either,a wise selection would have been made. Before adjournment the Superin- tendent’s salary was fixed for the en- suing term. He will receive nearly $1,800 a year, or the minimum of what is provided for by law. We congratulate Prof. Seibert on his election, and we are much pleased to know that the candidate of our choice was also the choice of the convention by such a large majority.

I felt an improvement at once, and after a few bottles am sound and well.” Ko- dol is the only preparation which! ex- actly reproduces the natural digestive juices and consequently is the only one which digests any good food and cures any form of stomach trouble.

STATE CENSUS REPORT. Pennsylvania Ranked Second Since 1850 in Manufactures. The Census Bureau has issued its detailed report of Pennsylvania manu- factures. The greater part is devoted to the manufacture of iron and steel, the most important industry in the State. In 1840 and 1850 Pennsylvania was third in manufacturing, but in all succeeding censuses it has ranked sec- ond. Since 1870 it has been first in.the amount of power used in manufactur- ing, which is an index of the factory system proper. ‘Inthe census year-of 1900 it used 16.4 per cent. of all that is used in the United States. The bulle- tin pays particular attention to the factor natural gas has been inthe de- velopment of the glass industry. There were 291 iron and steel establishments, which employed 110,864 persons, or 15.1 per cent. of all the wage earners in the State. The product was valued at $434,445,200, or 23.7 per cent. of the total product value of the State. The increase in the value of the product was $169,773,576, or 64.2 per cent., al- though during the census period the number of establisments decreased from 311 to 281. This decrease, how- ever, resulted chiefly from consolida- tions. The percentage during the pe- riod between 1890 and 1900 was 54 per cent. Allegheny county was the most important center. The bulletin points out that the most characteristic development of the steel industry has been the increasing im- portance of open hearth as compared with Bessemer steel. There were 25 establishments engaged in the manu- facture of tin and terne plates, employ- ing 1,678 persons and yielding a pro- duct valued at $12,530,000. The State ranked first in manufacture. Penn- sylvania ranks second in the manufact- ure of textiles and first in the value of the silk products. In cotton goods the rank is fifth ; second in woolens; first in carpets; third in worsteds; second in knit goods, and first in the manu- facture of wool hats. There were 1,260 establishments engaged in the manu- facture of foundry and machine shop products, which is the industry third in importance in the State. In many other industries the State ranks first, second or third. It was second in the printing and publishing of newspapers and periodicals, with 1,795 establish- ments and a product value of $36,500,- 000. The grand total of the value of products was $1,834,790,860, which is $2,000,000 more than reported in the preliminary bulletin issued on Febru- ary 7th. The percentage of increase in the value of products was 37.8. Will Cure Consumption. A. A.

A pen- alty is provided for failure to carry out its provisions, and those interested in good roads will be conferring a favor on their respective communities by seeing to its enforcement, The law in question takes tke place of a previous act providing for con- tracts with taxpayers to remove loose stones from the main traveled high- ways and reads as follows: SecrioN 1. That from and after the passage of this act, the Township Su- pervisors and Road Commissioners of the several townships within his Com- monwealth shall, by contract or other- wise, remove and take away the loose stones from the main traveled roads or highways in such townships at least once a month during the months of May, June, August, September, and October of each year. Section 2. In case of neglect or re- fusal of the Supervisors to carry out provisions of the first section of this act, they shall forfeit and pay for every: such offense, neglect, or refusal, a fine or penalty not exceeding $10, to be re- covered by action of debt, in the name of the Commonwealth, before any Jus- tice of the Peace or Alderman of the county, with the cost of suit. One- half of such fine to go to the informer or prosecutor, and the other one-half to be applied to repairing the roads or highways of the to enship. A Lesson in Health.

The recent large advance in the price of beef, which the Trust has exacted, has become a seri- ous problem with the committee hav- ing charge of the feeding of this great meat would require a very material in- crease in the amount of money set aside for that article of food, and to overcome this trouble they are quietly buying their own live beef and will have their slaughtering done privately. The committee has been scouring the country in this locality and expects to secure more than one hundred head of cattle during the next ten d»ys.” Traveling is Dangerous.

President Loree Denies the Truth of a Popular Supposition. During a hearing before the Senate Committee on the District of Columbia on Saturday on the bill ‘providing for a union station for the railroads entering Washington, President Loree, of the J Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, made an interesting statement which was a sur- prise to everybody who heard it. Mr. Loree insisted that a great mis- take had been made in'stating that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company own- ed the Baltimore & Ohio. He said the Pennsylvania did not own that railroad and had on its directorate but four of the twelve directors. The Baltimore & Ohio Company had it within its power at any time to nullify th influence of these four directors, in case it did not approve of their management. Such being the case, he said, the B. & O. would prefer to go ahead under exist- ing legislation and put up a $ 200,000 station on the site the. Company has acquired in C street, Washington, just east of its present depot; it would rather do this than enter upon an ar- rangement for the building of a great monumental station at a very much greater cost, as was proposed, in Massa- chusetts avenue. rie Stet A Revelation.
