DANGER OF
AN EPIDEMIC
Attention of School Board
Called to It.
Principal Houck's Report to
Directors Treats on Laxity
of Parents in Relation to
Scarlet Fever.
The November meeting of the borough
school board was hold Wednesday even
ing. Those present wore Directors
Kline, Trevaskis, Hell, Isaac, Hrown,
Everltt and McCJolo.
One of the principal matters before
the hoard was a reference in the month
ly report of supervising principal Houck
to the carelessness shown by the parents
of many pupils In allowing their chil
dren to visit and frequent houses where
scarlet fever exists.
The principal supplemented his report
with verbal statements relative to the
subject, and the directors were unanim
ous in their opinion that the laws of the
Hoard of Health should bo strictly obey
ed. There are a number of cases of
scarlet fever in town, and, unless the
parents of pupils carefully follow out
the health laws, an epidemic will natur
ally follow.
The pricipal's report for the second
mouth showed an enrollment of 891.
The average attendance was 92 per cent.
The building and grounds committee
was authorized to have duplicate grates
for the furnaces in the Ridge street and
Washington street buildings cast at the
Salmon Iron Works, so that no school
time may be lost should either grate give
out during cold weather.
Principal Schmidt, of Hirvanton
school, made application for a better
system of ventilation in his buildiug.
The matter was discussed and several
members offered suggestions which if
acted upon will overcome the present
difficulty.
The insurance on Washington street,
Second ward and Third ward buildings
having expired, it was decided to renew
the contracts with Mrs. S. E. Hayes for
three tnofe years and to increase the
amount on the Second ward building
SSOO. The insurance carried on these
three buildings will be as follows:
Washington stroet, $15,000; Second ward,
$1,500 on building and S3OO on furniture;
Third ward, SSOO on building and $l5O
on furniture.
The report of the county superinten
dent showed that all the Freeland
teachers attended institute five days,
with the exception of George McLaugh
lin, who was absent the last day on ac
count of illness.
Tax Collector Malloy's report of taxes
collected and money paid the treasurer
during th 6 lirst sixty days was read and
accepted.
An agent of the Melodian Music Com
pany, of New York city, addressed the
board on the subject of introducing
music in the schools and stated he would
be hero before next term begins to
demonstrate the merits of his system.
He complimented the members upon
the business methods they show in con
ducting their alTairs.
These bills were ordered paid: Wil

There is no pleasure in life if you
dread going to the table to eat and can't

he commenced the use "of Kodol Dys
pepsia Cure, and adds, "Now I can eat
anything I like and all I want and sleep
soundly every night." Kodol Dyspepsia

No Celebration.
Freeland Republicans have as yet
taken no steps toward arranging for a
celebration of Tuesday's victory. It
was understood that if either the
national or county ticket won that the
event would bo commemorated by a
demonstration, but tho magnitude of
the sweep, it would seem, has been so
great that even the Republicans are
dazed and cannot arrange a fitting
celebration. A number of tho party
workers will go to Ilazleton this even
ing and participate in the parade in that
city.
l'A HADE POSTPONED.
On account of the inclement weather
the parade and demonstration in honor
of the Republican victory, to be held
this evening at Ilazleton, was postponed
this morning to a date which will bo an
nounced later.
Some, evening next week will be
chosen by the committoe in charge of
the celebration.
Will Pay Semi-Monthly.
(. 11. Murkle & Co. have notified their
mine employes that the firm will pay
semi-monthly. Tho Tribune has not
learned the date when the change from
monthly payments will be made, but it
is said the now rule will go into effect in
the near future. This action of tho firm
is voluntary.
It is understood that petitions con
taining the namo of almost every em
ploye of the firm are about ready for
presentation at Jeddo. These petitions
relate to tho semi-monthly pay law, and
when presented it will be compulsory on
the part of Markle & Co. to pay tho
employes their wages twice a month.
The employes of the Delaware and
Hudson Company have demanded that
tho company comply with the semi
monthly payment law. The employes
of tho Kingston Coal Company have
made the same demand.
Toadstools Caused Death.
Joseph Turkon, of Throop, Lacka
wanna county, died this week and his
death Is supposed to bo tho result of his
having eaten several of those deadly
fungi, toadstools, while under the be
lief that they were mushrooms, On
Monday afternoon his wife wont into
the fields near the house and picked a
largo number of mushrooms, which
grow plentifully thereabouts. Together
with these she must have gathered
several toadstools, for after the evening
meal Turkon, his wife and two of their
children became violently 111.
Mrs. Turkon and the children were
relioved and soon felt no ill effects from
the meal. Turkon, howovor, grew
speedily more and more sick.
Warrants for Three Men.
Warrants wore sworn out yesterday
for the arrest of three young men of
Audenrled, on tho charge of assault,
preferred by Mrs. Ilalaman, of Gar
wood. The affair occurred on Monday
night, as tho woman was roturnlng from
McAdoo, where she had been on a visit
to her home. A number of prominent
citizens discovered the young men in tho
woods, and attempted to capture them,
but they escaped and have not been
seen since.
Work Resumed.
Tho trouble botweon the Drifton mine
employes and tho coal company at that
place, which resulted on Wednesday in
a lockout, was amicably adjusted yes
terday and the whistles blew last even
ing for work. The employes responded
this morning to the call, and everything
is moving smoothly at tho collieries
today.

Election Echoes
The Freeland friends of Bernard
Ferry, of Butte. Montana, were gladden
ed yesterday by the receipt of a tele
gram announcing his election to the
legislature of that state on the Demo
cratic-Fusion ticket. Two years ago
he was defeated by a small majority.
The young man is a son of Mrs. Morris
Ferry, Washington street, and was a
visitor here last spring. Mr. Ferry is
the second Freeland young man who
has been chosen to represent Silver Bow
county in the Montana legislature.
The other was Charles Boner, a son of
Mrs. Patrick Boner, South Washington
street, who served a term in that body
some years ago.
The Republicans in Lackawanna
county elected everything but their
candidates for judge, sheriff and register
of wills. There was remarkable inde
pendent voting. McKinley lias a ma
jority of 1,200, and John P. Kelley, the
Democratic nominee for judge, has a
majority qf 4,100. Judge Kelley Is the
only Democrat on the Lackawanna
bench. lie was appointed some time
ago to the vacancy caused by the death
of Judge Gunster.
The Republican committee of the
Fifth legislative district claims to have
discovered overwhelming evidence that
wholesale frauds at certain voting pre
cincts have been committed, so that it
would be made to appear that Burke
had been elected. A thorough investi
gation has been ordered, and the com
mittee claims a contest will show that
William Strange, Republican candidate,
has been elected.
Timothy Hayes, at one time a resident
of Freeland, went down with his fellow-
Democrats on Tuesday. He was a can
didate for the legislature in the First
district of Lackawanna county. Hayes
received 3,538 votes and his opponent
4,031.
Silas E. Jones, of West Ilazleton, the
defeated Democratic candidate for pro
thonotary, is In the field for the nomi
nation for sheriff next year.
Explosion of Powder.
A peculiar explosion occurred in No.
5 colliery, Jcddo, yesterday. A box of
dynamite and a quantity of common
blasting powder went off In some un
known manner in the gangway worked
by Thomas Elliott. The latter and his
laborers happened to be absent from tho
Immediate vicinity at the timo. While
they escaped danger from the explosion,
they wore in peril of being suffocated
by tho Intense smoke It created. To
obtain pure air they had to pass through
tho smoke, which they did with great
difficulty and were completely exhausted
when they reached a safe spot.
The cause of the explosion is un
known. No person was near tho pow
dor at the time, and why It exploded is
a mystory which will probably remain
unsolved.
No Change in Strike.
There is no change of any account in
the strike at the silk mill. Tho plant
continues to run with tho force which
remained at work, but the lack of help
has badly handicapped the management
and there are rumors that tho mill will
close down for an Indefinite period un
less sufficient help is soon procured.
Tho striking employes are less demon
strative of lato than they were during
the early part of tho trouble. They
claim, however, that there are no de
fections from their ranks and that they
will stay out until the mill owners com
ply with their demands.
Sheriff Harvey was prosent at the mill
on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons
at quitting time.
Teachers' Institute.
The semi-monthly institute of the
teachers of Freeland borough schools
was held Wednesday evening In the
Washington street building. There was
a good attendance and all tho teachers
evinced a great doal of Interest in the
papers read. A number of tho subjects
on educational matters which camo bo
fore tho teachers during the county In
stitute at Wilkesbarro last month were
discussed In an able manner. These
will also bo a basis for discussion at
future local institutes.
Miners Threaten to Strike.
There is a threatened strike at tho
coal washery of the Philadelphia and
Reading Company at Wadesvillc, and at
tho Kaska William colliery, operated by
tho Dodson Coal Company, near Middle
port. Tho trouble has boon caused by
tho discharge of union men. The United
Mine Workers of America have demand
ed that tho tnon bo reinstated at once or
they will all go out.
