More Revenue ' in Sight For
the County.
THE CONTROLLER BUSY I
lie Intends to Ask All Justices of the
Peace to Produce Their Old Kecords
and Show All Due to the CountyThe
Controller Has Much Support.
Special Heiiald correspondence.
Pottsviiae, April 10. The County Con
troller has an important move to make on
the Schuylkill county checker board and
will make it in the near future. It will
create quite a stir in the musty pigeon
holes of many Justices of the county
and there will he some great figuring.
The Controller Intends to make every
Justice of the Peace nnd others account
for fines collected and due to the county
treasury, such lines as are paid for viola
tion of the game laws and like offences.
It is said the accounting will bring
thousands of dollars to light.
The resurrection is not to be limited tn
the past year or few years, but will cover
periods reaching back several years. It is
Baid a large number of justices have
never felt duty bound to pay over to the
county treasury money collected In such
cases. The Controller will ask for tho
production of all books of accounts for
examination uy bimseii ana assistants.
Another bit? lob the Controller contem.
plates is revision of the lists of all tax
collectors of the county, so as to get as
near as possible to the number of people
wno lire exunernteu irom payment ot
taxes.
This movement has already been very
successful in Butler township. It Is the
result of this step that has led the Con
troller to extend the movement to other
parts of the county. A big revenue is ex
pected from corrected lists.
The Controller docs not expect to com
plete all these reforms during his term,
but he intends to devote himself so
assiduously to the work that his successor
win nave clear sailing.
The threatened rummacrlnz of lusttces'
offices has provoked greatklcktnglnsome
quarters, out tne controller says tnns no
amount of kicking will swerve him from
ms duty, nuu ins administration thus lar
leads the level-headed citizen to believe
this.
It Is explained that tho withholding
fines from the county treasury Is not
lookea upon in tne light oi uisnonesty on
the part of the justices, but more as
neglect, in part due to a lack of system in
the management of county affairs.
The Controller's office will be a very
busy place hereafter, Now that Judge
Weidmnn has rendered a judgment of
ouster against the Couutv Auditors the
Controller will be obliged to take up their
work and may requiro the services of ex
tra clerks.
There is no doubt this office is the most
Important of all in the county and when-
gpptne taxpayers are called upon to elect
man to mi it tnev win ue obliged .to
exercise great caution. People who can
nil the nlace are not counted bv the thou
sand and a mistake made in the selection
would prove disastrous, it is an oillce
which, when properly managed, as it Is
at present, can save the taxpayers
thousauds of dollars annually, but if
mismanaged tho loss would be beyond
estimation.
The Controller is fortunate in havinc a
board of County Commissioners like the
present one in co-operation with hlra.
This board is comprised of active, Intelli
gent and industrious men w;ho have
adopted most excellent business methods.
and wno on an occasions seemed uent
upon one purpose to administer the
affairs of the office for the best interests
of the people, regardless of the conse
quences tolhe politicians who might be
greatly benefitted by an administration
of another character.

AN APOLOGY.
Press Ilreakn Down nnd the "Herald" De
layed, The lateness In tho delivery of tho
Herald to subscribers last night was due
to an accident to tho press. After the
moll and second editions and half the
third edition of tho paper had been
printed nn Important piece of mechanism
proke and the press was brought to a
complete stop. Tho rest of tho edition
vas run off on tho Sunday Nows press,
and we take this occasion to thank the
publishers of that paper for their courtesy.
Diligent efforts were made to repair the
damage, in time to have tho editions out
as usual to-day. Telephone communica
tion was opened with the press manu
facturers at New York City and a dupli
cate part of the broken mechanism or
dered. It arrived ot nine o'clock this
morning, but It was then discovered that
some alterations would have to be made.
As a result, the press was unfit for use to
day and wo have been obliged to combine
all tho editions in ono to facilitate the
printing ot tho paper on our neighbor's
press. For this reason we ask our patrons
to overlook any shortcomings In tho paper
and ask their indulgence until to-morrow,
when we expect to have all repairs mado
and Issue all editions In their regular
order and on tlmo.
RESULT OP AN OLD INJURY.
Jacob S. Williams Mint Undergo a Very
Delicate Operation.
Ex-Town Clerk Jacob S. Williams, who
had been confined to hta homo on East
Coal street for several months, owing to
an attack ot typhoid fever and complica
tions, was yesterday taken to the Miners'
Hospital at Fountain Springs to undergo
a very delicate operation, lie withstood
the journey to the hospital very well and
a telephone message from the hospital
to-day said he was in good condition and
would be ready for the operation the
latter part of this week, or early next
week.
The operation Is a result of Injuries
sustained by Mr. Williams in a railroad
wreck at Pklllipsburg, N. J., several
years ago, when his ribs were broken and
otherwise Injured. Of late these ribs
have "caused Mr. Williams considerable
suffering. A consultation was held and
it was decided that an amputation was
necessary, as the bones had been attacked
by necrosis. It will be necessary to re
move several ribs on the right side. Dr.
J. C. BIddle, tho superintendent nnd
surgeon-in-chief of the hospital, will per
form the operation, which is class)! with
those of the most delicate and dnhg?,-')us
character, but it is hoped will bo ocS In
plished with success to the patient as frell
as to medical science.
Necrosis is described by surgeons ns
mortification, especially, that state of
bone when it is deprived of life. It is to
the bones what gangrene is to the soft
parts.
Against 1'rrjudlce.
"Prejudlco Is n thief and robs us of
many good things." Not the least of
those of which it deprives some of us is
tne aiu oi tuo most valuable medicines.
upon wlilcu we look witli suspicion,
simnlv because thev are proprietary pren-
nrations. Yet in certain cases, those
medicines are the nrefected results of tho
highest scientific knowledge, undoubted
professional skill and long patient experi
ment, There is Dr. David Kennedy's
cnvprlte itemedy, put up in accordance
with a, prescription that he employed with
unbounded success ror many years beiorc
ue ouonieu it totue nuuiic. mere is ac
tually nothing so good for the restoration
to health of the disordered vital organs
and for the purification of the blood.
This has been proved in thousauds of
cases. The person who would hesltato to
use favorite remedy because it is proprie
tary medicine, would be foolish.

"Well, well, well, did you ever see such
weather In tho month of April I" wns the
exclamation made by some of the oldest
inhabitants to-dny as they listened to tho
howling winds and watched the swift
fleeing snow flakes skip past tbelr win
dows, It is certainly romarkablo weather
for this season of tho year nnd in its
effects is similar In many respects to the
great blizzard of a few years ago. Many
people look upon It as far more disastrous
than tho blizzard, especially in tho farm
ing districts.
The effect of the storm In thin town nml
vicinity is felt by tho business nnd travel
ing public. Many of the streets were
deeply covered wltn snow that few
teamsters ventured out and people went
out to mako purchases only in cases of
absolute necessity.
The traffic on all lines of railway was
considerably delayed and many connec
tions were cut off. A number of drum
mers sat In the waiting room ot the Lehigh
Valley depot this morning playing cards
nnd roundly denounced blizzards, trains
and everything else.
The Lehltm Vnllov train due here from
Shamokln at 9:08 this morning failed to
get through the storm and on account of
this failure in copnectlon there was no
train over the Pennsylvania short line to
Pottsvlllo nnd no train from Pottsville
over the same line at 10:55.

All the teachers In the township schools

A number of the collieries in this dis
