It Is Charged That a Scheme Is on Foot to Build Extra Pay for a School Board Favorite. War has been Ueclired between the School Board of AVest Mahanoy township, the principal of the schools and several ot tho teachers, and ha? leillto a law suit by the latter to recover salaries due. The trouble arises over the disputed authority of one 6f the teachers to act as superinten dent of -the schools in that district. It seems tbht the teachers are provided with blank forms upon which they are expected to mako their monthly reports. According to nn arrangement with the board, Prof. Gallagher, the principal of the Lost Creek schools, was authorized to visit all the schools in the township and receive these reports. Several of the teachers in the Browns ville school claim the blanks are addressed to the School Board of the township and following the address, they sent the re ports direct to that body, not recogniz Ing Prof. Gallagher as supervising prln clpal, or superintendent. Prof. Gallagher felt slighted and complained to the board, whereupon that body decided to withhold the pay of all teachers who failed to hand over their reports to the principal. Among the, teachers affected by this action was J. Claude Brown. Last night he came to Shenandoah and instituted suit before Justice Dengler to recover the salary which is withheld from him. The caso wilt he heard at ten o'clock to-morrow morning and it is expected the hearing will be a very inten 3tlng one. The teachers who have taken the stand against the principal practically claim that Prof. Gallagher is enjoying what some people call a plumber's cinch, and that the monthly trips to gather up the reports 13 simply a color duty indulged in to show that the principal earns $150 ex- tra annually,. Jt is also claimed that the School Board has no power to create a superlntendency; that County Superin tendent Weiss has direct supervision of all township schools in the county, and any authority given by the School Board to Prof. Gallagher to assume the superln tendency is illegal. Prof. Gallagher, the teachers say, may supervise tho school at Lo9t Creek, but cannot interfere with any other school In the district. 'Kidnapped Kulp. 'Farmer" Kulp, the recently elected Republican Congressrnnn from Northum berland county, is missing. Mr. Kulp and Wellington Bertolett, superintendent for the P. & R. R. R., with headquarters at Reading, are warm old-time friends.

The "Farmer' was' serenaded uproariously all day and when the band started for the train he accompanied It. He has not been seen since. His Shamokln friends are not worried. They say he is probably recuper ating In Reading from the exhaustion at tending the labors ot the campaign. Mr. Kulp will be the youngest man in the next Congress. PERSONAL. John it.

About three hundred yards ahead of hi" train Engineer Ben. Waters saw the body of a man lying In a heap on the track. He applied the breaks and stopped the train a few yards from the body. iiaggageruaster nenry Cbrrell ran ahead and turned tho body over.

By Good Government the Republicans Can Win the Confidence of the People and Hold the County. Special IIf.rai.d i-orrcspondccce. Pottsvillk, Nov. 0. The election cam paign that closed last Tuesday was one, on the whole, to which tho candidates of both sides may point with pride. It was the cleanest within my recollection. Tho nlmost total absence of indulgence in per sonalities made It creditable nnd both the successful nnd defeated candidates are de serving of commendation for the good judgment they displayed. Inm told that less money was spent this year than during any campaign for years past, and It has been Intimated that bnt few otthe candidates paid their assess ments in full. 1 doubt that this is correct, but I haven't the slightest doubt that some of the candidates hesitated about putting up the "ready John." During my political career 1 have always found same candidates who did not feel disposed to pay his assessment in the absence of a guarantee of an election ; but in nlmo3t every case these candidates have been brought face to face with the cashier's dek after being convinced that no guarantee of an election went with a nonimntlou, outside of the bulldozed Southern states election districts ; and In a few years I believe that guarantees will be up at a premium even down there. Thero wns considerable betting tnlk this year, but the actual betting was not as brisk as the enmpaign warranted. That was not a discreditable feature of the campaign, however, bnt rathe." very creditable. Gambling is not creditable In any sphere. As I predicted in one of my recent let ters Pottsville gave the Republican ticket one of her old-time majorities, I was not led into making the prediction by any wild-cat notion, but by seeing the host of old timere falllnglnto line. Some men who had not voted for years went to the polls last Tuesday. And now that we got thero let us stay. It strikes me that the hatchet is pretty deeply burled and that by judicious management the Republican party will be able to keep the Domocrallc tiger pretty well at bay in the future The last campaign has shown pretty conclusively that with the Republican party united Schuylkill county can be kept within the ranks of that party. It is only when the Republicans are divldod that the county give Ilddiocratlo major! ties, and it is for that reason tlipt the Democrats are constantly trying to create strive among their opponent. Schuylkill Is Republican on defined issues. It true that the Democrats have curried repeatedly during recent years, as well as way back In the sixties aud seventies, bat the successes during the last named periods were only brought about by gross frauds, especially in the townships, By these frauds the Democrats gradually secured, control of all the county offices and patronage and these they used as bulwarks far their political fields. The Republicans now have control of the county offices aud patronage and if they are judicious they can so thoroughly en trench themselves as to retain control o the political situation indefinitely. By this it is not intended to insinuate that the Republicans shall follow the course of their Democratic predecessors by using the advantage referred to in a boodle sense, I mean that by giving good, clean admin istration nnd make wise and efficient ap pointments in the distribution of patron age they will win the confidence of tb people, nnd that will be ot great service to them In future campaigns. Keep It Up. While the general result of Tuesday'; election was mainly due to an upheaval in the ranks of the people, there wns suf ficient in it to demonstrate the value nnd effect of good organization, especially in the local political field. The good work should be continued and it is hoped tho Shenandoah Republican League will re main in harness and settle down at once for effective work. If it does the Repub lican party will be heard from to good ef fect in the Spring election. Wyatt Serenaded. After the elose of its practice last night the Grant Baud marched up Main street and serenaded Joseph Wyatt, the Repub lican Representative -elecl. The band ren dered a number of fine selections in front of the victor's hostelry and were then in vited Inside where they partook of th personal hospitality of the "Geninl Joe." Visit From Brurara. Arrangements are being made to hold the first regular business (meeting of th snenannonn itepumican League some evening next week. Hon. Chas. N, Brumm has accepted an invitation to visit tho club and give a talk on practical politics. Railroaders Paid.
