Ed tho school duplicates from the county
commissioners and that tho same have
been prepared for the tax collector. Ho
was authorized to place tho warrant for
the collection of taxes in the hands of
tho colloctor. The duplicates call for
the collection of $4,109.11 school taxes
and $3,458.04 building taxes, a total of
$7,507.15.
Tho building and grounds committee
was Instructed to have the- schools and

Tho election of teachers was the last
matter taken up by the board. A
motion to closo tho school at West South
Heberton, also tho South Washington
streot school, received the votes of all
the members, except Directors Fetter
man aud Isaacs.
lu reply to a question asking for in
formation why tho schools named were
to bo closed, President Blattery stated
that tho average attendance last term
was five pupils loss than the previous
term, when only seventeen teachers
wero regularly employed. The recom
mendation of ex-Principal Ilouck was
that at least two, aud possibly three,
teachers should bo engaged. This rec
ommendation was favorably considered
and the corps of teachers was last year
increased to twenty, which has since
been found an unnecessary expense and
not warranted by the board's revenues.
The motion to elect the teachers
named to tho schools and al tho salaries
stated was voted upon as follows: For
Brogan. Buckley,Brennan, McGoehan,
Purcoll, Timony, Slattery, 7. Against
—Fetterman, Isaac, Shellhamor, 3. N>t
voting —Kline.
It was decided that all teachers ap
pointed shall sign contracts before tak
ing charge of their schools; that the
term consists of seven mouths, or longer
if the funds will permit, and that tho
schools shall open on Monday, Septem
ber 15.
Ail of last term's teachers who ap
plied for positions wero reappointed,
with the exception of Supervising Prin
cipal John E. Williams. No now teach
ers wero engaged.
In addition to thoso appointed, appli
cations wero received aud road from
the following:

tyre, of Nanticoke, against John ltos
sotor and Joseph Roveridage, from each
of whom she seeks to recover $2,000.

and almost every known treatment for
the disease. One of the city officials
had had a very similar experience and
I)r. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
had cured him, so ho recommended this
great kidney medicine to his friend,
and Col. Harvey is today a well man,
halo aud hearty. In his own abrupt
way he states his casoi
Dr. David Kennedy,
Dear Sir:—This is to certify tllat I
was permanently cured of rheuma
tism by the use of Dr. David Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy.
Win. J. Harvey.
Nothing could bo more direct or more
to the point than this simple statement.
Rheumatism is but" another name for
uric acid poisoning which is caused pri
marily by diseased kidneys. Cure your
kidneys and the rheumatism disappears.
For all diseases of the kidneys, liver,
bladder and blood, rheumatism, dyspep
sia and chronic constipation, as well as
