'CONTINUE IT 'WAS A QUESTION OF SALARY Fourteen Members Were Evenly Divided and tho Fifteenth Member Was Hunted for by a Committee. EADDOCKS aro nov elties on the local School Board. It is seldom that the board is so divided as t allow one to occur, but last night one bloomed and it looked for a while as if the divided parties would "sit it out." Tho division arose on a pro position to restore the old-time salary of Secretary Gable. "When the School Board was organized last year 6ome of the Re publican members of the board had Dlroctor Bachman slated for secretary Gable, who then filled the office, made an arrangement by which he was to secure the Democratic votes for secretary and he, it is alleged, was to vote for Thomas Bellis as treasurer. Gable was elected, but when the vote for treasurer was called for ho voted for Lamb, and Bellis was defeated. The feeling over the election was bitter on all side. The Republicans felt sore because Bachman was beaten and the Democrats were equally worked up because Giblo failed to support Bellis. In retaliation the board fixed the salary of the secretary for the yeir at $S5, Instead of $275, which had been the figure for severalyears. The evident purpose of the reduction was to so disgust Gable that he would resign. He did not do so, however, but declared that he would do tho work as secretary under the $35 salary as he had done it the year previous under $'275. But time changes all things, and changed the spirit of some of the Repub lican members. They argued that Gable had performed his duties faithfully and satisfactorily, and before the expiration of his1 term tho salary of tho office should bo restored to the old figure. Accordingly, several weeks, ago D.rector Beddal) brought the matter to tho attention of the board. Director O'Hoarn, one of the Democratic members, made a vigorous 'protest and claimed that the reduction of the salary was a just punishment. The mattor dragged along until at recent meeting of tho board a motion to reconsider tho motion that reduced the salary was carried. Then a motion to fix the salary at $275 was defeated. Last night President Beddall told the directors that it was nocoisary for the board to take some definite action; that the motion to reconsider left the secretary without any salary. Messrs. O'Hearn and Muldoon thought the matter had already been sufficiently discussed, but they consented to take an' other vote upon the statements of Directors Dayenport, Ogden and Beddall that tho secretary would very likely have good grounds to' sue tho board for services ren dored in the absence of any fixed salary, Director Davenport moved that the salary' of tho secretary be fixed at $275, Ogden seconded the motion, and on a vote being taken Messrs. Hanna, Baird, Ogden Beddall, Davenport, Trezise and Gable voted 'n the afflrmativo.and Messrs. Oonry, .O'Hearn, Williams', Brennan, Gallagher, JIuldoon and Bachman voted in the negative, Tho vote being a tie 7 to 7 tho motion was declared lost. Another discussion followed and finally O'Heatn movod that tho salary be fixed at $35. Williams' seconded the motion and again the vote stood 7 to 7 and tho motion was declared lost. It became a question whether the mem bora would continue voting, or remain seatod until some one would give in Somebody suggested that Director Butts, tho fifteenth member be sent for, and by (nutual consent Directors Muldoon and Davenport woro. appointed a committee to keek Mr. Butts and oscort him to the meeting. After an abionce of about half an hour tho committee re-appeared at the mooting accompanied by Butts. Hanna moved that the salary of the secretary be fixed at $274 per year. Daven port seconded tho motion. Conry amended that tho salary be fixed at 835. Williams seconded the amend' ment. Davenport moved an amendment to tho amendment that the salary be fixed at $275 and this was secondod by Ogdon. The gum having boon loaded the firing commenced. Davenport's amendment to tho amend' ment was dofeated by 8 to 7, the vote being as follows : Against O'Hearn, Oonry Williams, Brennan, Butts, Gallagher, Muldoon and Bachman, For Hanna, Baird, Ogden, Beddall, Davenport, Trozleo and Gable. A vote was then taken 00 Oonry's amend- ment and it wab carried by a vote of S to 7 nd the motion as amended being put was carried by the same vote, so tho salary 0' the secretary remains $35 per year. William H. Dettrey, representing Major Jennings Council. No. 307, Jr. O. U. A , asked permission to erect a platform Ir, front of the High school for' speakers on the Fourth of July, and the request wa1 granted. In response to a request of tho sarat order thd board decided that the president of tho board shall receive the flag that will be presented on the Fourth. The' other business transacted was of a routine character pertaining to tho closing of the board's businsss for tho fiscal year. l'KllSON'AL.

NERGY URGED FOR THE FOURTH After Which He Munches a Hotel Strawberry Short Cake Ho Also Touches on Mining Matters. HE Indications point conclusively to be'.tter times in store for the miners in this section The coal market is steadily improving, and tho price of coal has advanced. The increase of one por cent, on the rale of wages for this month is an indication of brighter prospects , for tho 'coal diggers," and although the amount is small, it is an evidence of tho improved condition of the coal market. Another favorable sign is the1 fact that, with very few exceptions, all of the best producing collieries of the Reading company are now working, some four days a weok and a few full time. Tho officials of ttft Reading company have Btated that all tho collieries under their control will be working full time as soon as some of their new markets aro opened. I trust tho bright prospocts promised by the coal officials will be realized by our miners, and that, too, in the very near future. . One month and.a few days from now tho Fourth of July will be here, and the day should be appropriately celebrated by our citizens. I understand that the American Mechanics have been granted permission by the School Board to raise an American .flag over the High school building In town, and that the various societies have been requested by this organization to take part in the ceremonies and parade The day could not be more appropriately observed, and it Is a dutydevolving upon each citizen of tho town to exert himself and aid tho good work in every manner possible. The stars and stripes have beon placed inside .the school rooms by'the P. O. S. of A., and it has undoubtedly stimulated love for tho flag in the hearts of the young. V Tho good work of placing the flag over the school buildings throughout the country is; a patriotio undertaking, and nearly every town and hamlet in tho country has tho stars and stripes waving to the breeze over the schools. It creates a feeling in the hearts of tho children similar to that fell by their fathers, who were taught from the cradle to manhood to love tho country from which they came. It is a grand work the ordor of American Mechanics have undertaken in this town, and they.deserve tho' assistance of every patriotio citizen, no matter from what clime hq hails, and I believe they will receive it. ... The season has arrived when it becomes necessary to take up the careful considera tion of the strawberry shortcake as it ap pears in both' private and in public.
