We think this will be a very good way to have the bridge put back on the township again and our present supervisors deserve a cookie for this way of serving the township.

WILL BE A HOT FIGHT County Supsrintendency Contest Already On the Way. is FOUR CANDIDATES OUT The Mot In Ukcly to ImTcitxril llcftire the Election Which Occurx In Mny, IS1MK Although a new superintend ent of schools will nut be chosen un'il next May the campaign is now on. Nor this any ordinary skirmish or the us- lal preliminaries which murk such an event, but openly avowed c-uididates for place are hustling and as the farmer making hay while the sun shines the candidates are doing the same thing in a figurative sense. The 'hay" in the alter instance is more valuable than the irst as the position pays a nice salary and holds good for three years.

Among the first to formally announce lis candidacy was Prol S. H. Miller, 3resident of Fredonia institute, who has seen sending his friends cards contain- ng these words: "Permit me to announce that 1 am a for the superintendeiicy of the Mercer county schools I trust I may lave the honor of an' interview in the near future. Yours very truly, S. H'.

MILLER." Pro Miller is a college graduate and was a member of Thiel's faculty before accepting his present position. Prof. J. S. Fruit, of McElwain institute, making a very active canvass and has covered this section of the county quite thoroughly.

Prof. Fruit was educated at Grove City college and has been in educational work a number of years. Another candidate is Prof. J. B.

Scott, ol Jamestown. He was for some years connected with Hall institute, Sharon, aeing its principal at one time. Of late years he has been principal of the Jamestown schools. Prof. F.

VV. Magee, of Mercer, who has been successful as an educator, is spoken of as a candidate and very likely will enter the race for keeps. Prof. Haggerty, who has taught some years in the northeastern part of this county, and who held a portion in the State Superintendent's office at Harrisburg, may also be a candidate. It will be seen, therefore, that the school directors of the county will have plenty of material to select from.

This list may be enlarged or contracted before the time comes but it will not be surprising if all these candidates stand at least one ballot. BTOMBBORO. Miss Frances Miller, of Mercer, is the guest of Miss Lucy Larned. Corporal John Bell, of Co. I4th Regiment, is home on a fifteen days' furlough on account of a sprained ankle.

MATTERS AT THE TUBE WORKS Miu'hlnrry t'roin Other IN Now Hi'I UK Hi-ought to I lie r.ri!«>nvlll«< So much has been said of improvements to be made at the plant of ihe Weldless Tube trust that it is with some trepidition that the subject mentioned in these columns.

The new organization, however, does not deal so much in futures as the old and the prospect is decidedly improved. One indication of better things is the surveying of a switch by the Bessemer railroad people, from the main line south of town, to the plant. It will be quite a long affair and cost quite a sum of money. The company will buy their coal from the P. B.

L. E. and the new line will improve the shipping facilities by the addition of a competitor. The Erie has heretofore had the field exclusively. Several of the Shelby Tube company's plants are being dismantled and the machinery brought here.

Two large boilers have already arrived, and also two complete electric lighting plants, including engines and dynamos, beside other machinery. A consignment arrives every few ua'ys. FORTUNE WORTH HALF A MILLION Ilitil Struggle Hut Fliiully Got Mm. Altui HUH Oulte niHtinttloii. The many friends of S.

T. Lippey in this section and especially his near relatives in Kinsman will be pleased to learn that his strike in the Klondike gold fields is much better than expected and he and his first white woman to visit the made a fortune. The Klondike News, the first paper to be published in the gold fields, says that the miners are making their spring clean up, and that the Lippey claim, No. 16 Eldorado Creek, will, it is estimated, clean up from one-third to one half a million. Mr.

Lippey was a prosperous business man of Seattle when the first rumors of rich finds of gold in the frozen north were brought to the States by returning prospectors Possessed with an ambitious disposition he at once began preparations for making the long journey, and closed out his business. Early in lune of 1896 he and his wife and little four-year-old son bade their friends farewell and started on their perilous journey. They went by way of the famous Chilkoot pass which they crossed with comparative ease, taking with them their baggage and provisions. In the summer season this is not such a formidable undertaking, but when the mountains are covered with snow is a dangerous, traitorous barrier confronting the sturdy miner. They arrived in Dawson City safely located a claim, built a cabin and com menced work.

Mrs. Lippey nssisted her husband in working their claim which panned out rich pay dirt. While in that country their little son sickened and died and they buried him under the moss on the hill side in sight of their cabin. In few months they cleaned up more than $60,000 worth of gold dust, and value their property at MEADYILLE COMMERCIAL COLLEGE, Kohler Block, Comer Water and Chestnut Streets.

SANDV LAKE, Craig, aged 17, whose home was at Jackson Center, began wearing a new pair of shoes several days ago, which he complained did not fit his feet, but he continued wearing. Two days ago he found that one of his toes was slightly scraped and becoming painful. Boy like, he grumbled some, but gave the matter no further attention until yesterday, when the condition of the toe became so serious that medical aid was summoned, and it was discovered that blood-poisoning had set in.

It was too late, however, to render aid, and the boy died today in great agony. ADDITIONAL LOCAL.

Dorsie Winans rode to Oneida, Butler county, on his chamless Columbia, Saturday, and returned home on Monday. The ride down was made in four hours and nine minutes, and the return in four hours and five minutes.

Bob Hunting, manager and clown of Hunting Bros." circus, shot Thomas F. Lqddy, leader of the band, during a dispute at Canandaigtia, N. Monday morning. The musicians claim tlicir salaries are overdue, and Hunting feared that Leddy, who has considerable influence over them, would induce them to strike.
