Directors Isaac and Purcell.
Attorney O'Donnell appeared before
the hoard in behalf of Gabriel Miller in
reference to payment of a note for $l5O,
given in August by tin; district as part
payment for Washington street lots.

the note was not to fall duo until
November 1, although the wording of
the document makes it appear to be
payable on October 1.
The contract for hauling coal from
Drifton to the various school houses was
awarded to E. H. Shelhamer at 50 cents
per ton.
Treasurer McColo reported having
$1,091). 10 to tho credit of tho district.

made to him by A. H. Coxe, of Drifton,
in which he offers to erect a fence
around the land on which tho Daniel
Coxe school Is located, at the corner of
Washington and Chestnut streets.
The proposition of Mr. Coxe was ac
cepted with thanks, and a committee
consisting of Directors Tiinony, Kline
and Kelly and Principal Williams was
chosen to inform the gentleman of the
hoard's action and to consult with him
in relation to the design of the fence, etc.
The attention of the hoard was called
to the action of the teacher of East
South Hebcrton primary school, who
refused to participate with her pupils in
the procession hold on September 19 in
memory of President McKinley.
Several motions were made in which
the alleged offense and insubordination
wore to be punished, but as tho direct
ors could not agree upon a disposition
of the matter, the case was referred to
the teachers and pupils committee.

THEATRICAL.
With its distinct air of originality,
magnificent scenic environment and
presouted by a good company, tho
"King of tho Opium King'' should
moot with tho same phenomenal suc
cess hero tonight that attended Its pres
entation elsewhere. The play, based
as it is on life in the real Chinatown of
the country, and the way one thrill fol
lows another, Is enough to satisfy all
who crave for 9onsations. There are
so many thrills that it necessitates
work of no less than four heroes to meet
tho emergencies and foil tho machina
tions of the villains, who attempt to
make away with the American girl
through the medium of opiuui. There
is so much in the play that is sightly
and picturesque, so much that is novel,
amusing and instructive, such rapid
movement, so generous a provision of
unquestionably strong action, that ono
may venture upon emphasis in pro
claiming its merits. An exceptionally
strong cast has been secured, headed by
the California actress, Helen liar
graves.

There is ono scene in "Uncle Terry,"
the comedy drama recently dramatiz
ed from Charles Clark Mnun's success
ful novel, which is bound to attract
attention on account of tho ingenuity
displayed in its construction. The
prologuo, in which not a word is spoken,
is referred to. A shipwreck at sea,
preceded by a storm, is decided with a
vividness which is said to be absolutely
startling. Tho mechanical and electri
cal effects used in tho prologue as well
as tho scenery used in the succeeding
acts were arranged especially for this
production and are transported from
town to town in special cars. James 11.
Waite is starring in "Uncle Terry"
under the management of Harry D.
Orahamc. The piece is booked for
presentation at the Grand opera house on
Wednesday evening, coming hero from
the Nosbitt theatre, Wilkesbarre.

The theme from which the play
"Madeline of Fort Reno," was taken is
from actual scenes and incidents that
occured in, and about, old Fort Reno.
Tho story centers around the life of
pretty Madeline Hartman, daughter of
the old settler and Indian fighter, John
Hartman, whose name and bravery lias
been recorded in the historical writ
ings of the old period. The cast of
players selected, for their ability and
correctness of stature to impersonate
the characters asigned them, could not
ho better. The production will bo giv
en here with the same big cast, scenery,
properties and effects that it enjoyed
during its Npw York engagement.
