He purchased a keg of whiskey and gave the plan a trial. His wife sold him liquor by the drink at the rate of 15 cents a glass.

The street paving ordinance would have passed at the special council meeting Tuesday night, but it was found that the law requires that each property hlder concerned be notified.

COOPER REMOVED. The Veteran Principal of the Edinboro Normal Compelled to Resign. The startling rumor of trouble between Principal J. A. Cooper of the Edinboro State- Normal School, and the trustees of that institution, was confirmed by the action of the latter body Friday evening.

Recent developments indicate that the breach between the trustees and Prof. Cooper has been widening for some time, the board claiming that the Principal has not been In harmony with it in. relation to the manner of instruction and the conducting of the school in general; and further, that he has been irregular in the matter of paying bills and careless in contracting debts. As early as three years ago, the trustees relieved the Principal of many of the financial duties of the school and it is evident that the present board believe he has overstepped his authority. A meeting was called by President Scrafford for Friday evening, at which the question of Prof.

Cooper's removal was brought up and answered in the affirmative, pending an investigation. Prof. Cooper began his work in Edinboro in i86r, and has been in general since 1863. Through his energy and ability it has been eminently successful in every particular. His name is ilmost a household word in this section, and his many friends will not condemn him until they hear his story, which he promises will be forthcoming at the proper time.

Prof. Alex. Benedict, of Towanda, the new principal, is on the ground, and the envelopes containing the circulars now being sent out are made turnablfi to E. J. Meissner, the teacher of voice culture.

Despite the fact that Prof. Cooper rules with a rod of iron, he has had at all time the good-will of the pupils, and his cause is warmly espoused by the present pupils, who hreaten to leave if he is not reinstated. I1OS8 EXAMINATION. Out of 18 Only Throe Wore Reminder for Mine Operators. At the recent examination for mine bosses, held at Mercer recently, the following applicants were examined: John E.

Allen, Jackson Center, Mercer county. Jown Bowie, Grove City, Mercer Co. Chharles Whitlatch, Stoneboro, Mercer county. Reese Davis, Coaltown, Butler county. Nicholas Smith, Coaltown, Butler Co.

Sylvester Davis, Wampum, Lawrence county. Daniel McGrath, Wampum, Lawrence county. George Rigby, Wampum, Lawrence county. William Brown, Wampum, Lawrence county. Edward Flinn, Cannelton, Beaver Co.

Arthur Berry, Cannelton, Beaver Co, Amos Goss, Faljs Creek, Clearfield county. Fred Kulow, Rimer, Armstrong county. James Colman, Kirtland, Westmoreland county. Thomas Hodges, Ashbaugh, Westmoreland county. John Hirst, Reynoldsville, Jefferson county.

Robert Roys, Rock Point, Beaver Co. James Tanner, Rock Point; Beaver county. Mine Inspector Thos. K. Adams did not finish examining the papers until last Thursday, when it 'was found that only three candidates were up lo the required standard.

The successful men were Thos. Hodges, John C. Hirst, and Robert Roys. We take this occasion to call the attention of mine bosses, coal operators and mine owners, to the law relative to the employment of miners underground or "inside." The law plainly provides that no miner shall be employed inside, who has not worked on the "outside" of some mine, two years or more. For obvious reasons the enactment is worthy ol strict enforcement and in case a newly-arrived foreigner is employed "inside," not only is this law broken, but the national statute prohibiting contract labor is violated as well.

Carelessness in this regard may result seriously. Republican WEST SALEM. The Republicans of West Salem town- spip will meet in joint caucus Feb. 13, at p. m.

The freight business of the Lake Shore is something enormous. The fact that water was taken at the Girnrcl tank over 2,000 times during last month, gives some idea of the volume of the traffic. A line between the Nypano main line and the branch just west of Leavittsbnrg has been surveyed and it is believed that a cross-over track will be built, permitting through freight train service be- ween leveland and Kent. George Soday, of this place, a freight brakeman on the Nypano, was injured at Franklin, Thursday. In coupling cars, he slipped and his right arm was caught between the bumpers.

As only the fleshy part of the arm was crushed, the injuries will not be serious. The Butler Times tells a good one on an old lady taking her first ride on the train.

The recent decision in thecnseof Mrs, Catherine Reiser against the Pennsylvania Company brings up the incident which lead to the suit.

It is the duty of an operator to write out the order on manifold paper as it is received, and report it to the dispatcher.
