A special meeting of the School Board was held on Wednesday night for the purpose of considering sanitary matters and such other matters as may arise. Principal Heckert was appointed secretary pro tern. in the absence of Sec.

Tyson. All the directors but Paxson were present. Director Stauffer reported that Mr. Saylor gave him prices on the outside drinking fountains as requested by the Board. The price submitted is $27.75 each not including the work of installing them.

On motion of Stauffer and Stager two of these (Murdock) Bubble Fountains were ordered to be installed at the main building by W. J. Saylor. Mr. Stauffer also reported that the oil for the oiling of the school floors has been ordered, and that the bill for the same is here.

By the terms of the bill two per cent. discount is offered for payment within ten days. Therefore an order was drawn for $79.50 to pay the bill as soon as the goods arrive. Director Stauffer presented the blank book for the treasurer's orders which he purchased and an order for $1.60 was drawn to pay the same. Director Stager reported that he and Principal Heckert together with the janitors inspected the several buildings to note repairs needed.

The secretary read the list as prepared on the tour of inspection. Some of those repairs were directed to be attended to at once and on others prices of costs are to be inquired into by the Building Committee. Mr. Stager reported having taken up the matter of the furnace repairs, with Mr. Campbell of Orwigsburg.

The Board adjourned. I I To-morrow, Saturday, the weather being favorable, will witness the most stifly fought contest of the entire season. It will be waged between Pottsville and the local ball on the diamond here. The stakes being very high, the championsinP title of the Schuylkill County base ball league for the first half of the season, the game promises to be nip and tuck. The locals will make every effort to win this game.

Even with winning Saturday's game there- is a possibility Of the local team being tied with Tremont for the honor, providing Tremont wins their game with Shenandoah. There is one game which is being contested, that of Cressona which was played at Tremont. Cressona was compelled to leave the field before the game was over in order to catch their train. The score was in favor of Cressona and almost completed. "limp." Kelley who is rather in disfavor here forfeited the game to Tremont.

All base ball rules provide for the forfeiture of the game by the team leaving the field. There are however, exceptions to this rule and especially when the home team fails to put in an appearance until 1.15 o'clock when the game was called for 3.15. Had the Tremont management begun the game On schedule time the game could have been finished in time to catch the train. Umpire Kelley refused to consider this side of the matter. The Directors of the league also seem to be somewhat divided over the question.

A meeting of the league will be held the coming week the matter will again be discussed and some decision made. Tremont has won eight games and lost four. Sch. Haven has also won eight and lost four. SUIldity'S (LtMeS.

Sunday, Cressona will pia at Pottsville, Schuylkill Haven at Shenantioth and Tremont at Alinersville.1 (Continued on page 6) Upon the api the "flyer" the men left the One of the men left a jack stmg in under the track. Bojack noticing it endeavored to get it out before the train reached the point, but misjudging the speed with which the train was approaching could not get out of the way in time. The train hit the jack and the jack in turn struck Bojak a teriffic blow on the back of the head crushing in the entire upper portion of his skull. He was hurried to his home on the hill near by and Dr. Heim summoned.

Upon the arrival of the physician he pronounced life extinct, death having occurred almost immediately after being struck. Bojack was an unusual character. He was a most esteemed citizen being enabled to talk English very fluently. He was a valuable employee of the P. It Company and considered and held in high honor by his fellow countrymen not only in this town but in the surrounding towns.

He was of a quiet disposition, law abid- NV ing and ni his fellow countrymen occasionally-I came boisterous or un- ruly, his ints once over them almost immediately pacified them. His sudden death has caused great sorrow among his fellow workmen and the residents of "Goat Hill." Members of the gang in which he worked discontinued their labors upon learning of his delth and it is probable they will refrain from work until after his burial. Besides the grief stricken widow, six children, three boys and three girls survive. Edit of The Call, Dear Sir: 1 want to send you a brief account of the many things that have happened since the Boy Scouts left home. On the way out they were like all children, asking a million things about what station is this, why doesn't the train go, ad libitum.

But when we arrived at the bridge, you never saw such a swarming of boys in your life. From the place where the railroad officials stopped the train for us, as a special favor, to the camp spot is a distance down of about 150 yards. We had five tents with poles, innumerable boxes and bundles and suit cases, some heavy as lead and the boys took off coats and shirts and toiled like galley slaves. Since the unloading have gone up and down the road several times and wondered how in the world they did it and survived. Did that dampen their spirits? You would not ask that if you had seen the all night shirt tail brigade in action at the tent where I did not Sled).

One fellow tells me that he and another slung the five gallon jug of molasses on a pole and together with that had a suit case in the other hand and they toted that load down that mountain side. After the hips were made and we found the cocoa all spilled in the beans for soup, and we set to work. And work it was. We put up the tents and tried to get the grub and cook tents in order. Each fellow cooked his dinner and supper the first day.

Then came camp council at the mess tent at which duties for the following day were assigned, stories Nye re told and prayers said and then we went off to bed. Spruce boughs had been broken and straw had been hauled from a nearby farm house, the boys supplying the mule power to move the spring wagon on which the straw was piled. On the straw and boughs we spread our blankets and rolled over thinking of the foolishness of leaving good springs and matresses at home and paying to come out and do this. Some slept, some did not, some got night mare some did not. One fellow who lives on Main street roused the big tent by sitting up and yelling, "The forrest is on tire, give me a tooth pick," then lay doNvn again.

Another sat (continued on page 5.) I in our editorial columns that the time was about celebration or a oi some kind. The opportunity- a demonstration has presented it- scif unexpectedly. Not within a i year or two but within two mon Ls will the itizens of this town 'be privileged to have a ilemmistralion of their patriotism and in honor of no grander a body ni men than Veterans. The surviving members of the Fifteenth Regiment Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteers, about two hundred in number. The Veterans of the Fiftieth have decided to hold their annual reunion Schuylkill Haven.

The date has not been definitely decided upon but vill be during the month of this year, probably on the second or third Saturday. The annual gaLhering of these Civil WIt- Veterans has been held in Schuylkill Haven on two previous occasions. The thst for the town was held many years ago during the month of Februai in Metamara Hall. was held here about five years ago on a Labor Day in Keystone hall. Many citizens will no uoubt remember the occasions.

Few of our present day generation are aware of the grand S110 this old burg made during the Civil War. She ual herself proud in that she furnished six hundred and forty-two of her sons during that long bloody civil war to the cause. Of this number Idti enlisted in the Fiftieth. In this Regiment there was one Company that alone was composed of all Schuylkill Haven Sons, it was Company C. Twice was this Company recruited to its full cmoto from Schuylkill Haven, the first time early in 1861 and then filled up in 1864.

When reunions of this regiment were held here on previous occassions the town gave them a rousing welcome and entertained them loyally. It must be their ranks are rapidly thining out and it will not be many more times that the town will be called upon to welcome them. Since their last reunion at Birdsboro, last year, just about nine months to this date, seventeen of the veterans have answeed The opportunity is now or will be, in two months time, given this town to give the "Old lloys" some welcome." Let the slogan for the town be "some NVelcome" and let every one take a hand in inaking such a welcome possible. 'UNCLAIMED LETTERS.

IINDEI0VoOD TO MAKE IMPPc.NEMENTS AT LIGHT PLANT. A special Inc. Council was called Tuesday e. ig at the electi ligtht, plant. IL was for the purpose of viewing certain conditions NI-Lich it proposed to improve.

There be no quorum present no business was transacted but as the electric light committee has the authority to make the hnprovments, work will be started on the same shortly. It is proposed to raise the roof of the annex recently built as the heat is almost sickening anti can hardly be endured by the employees at the plant. In the entire building there is not one ventilator. In the annex the space between the roof and the large wheel of the new machinery is about two feet and when this machinery is in operation the heat is intense and is injurious to the machinery. It is proposed to raise the roof and place ventilators in other parts of the building-.

The coal storage bins will also be increased in capacity and repaired. A scraper line Will he installed for the purpose of storing the coal. At present the coal is dumped from cars on the siding about fifty feet above the plant and is shot through an inclined hute. It is necessary to shovel or handle the coal three and four times before it is properly placed in the coal bins thus requiring the labor Of several men every time a car of coal is dumped. The expense necessiated by these improvements will be made up in a short time through the labor and time saved.

EVERYTHING in our store except groceries will be reduced off the Dollar during our Sale. Visit this sale. FELIX'S read a most interesting paper. Ilis subject covered the progress of medicine in 41 years. Dr.

The ordinance fixes the speed at the same rate as the State Law. The State Law fixes; the speed at twenty-four miles per hour, except when signs are posted every quarter Of a mile the speed limit is fifteen miles per hour.

On the signs to be erected must be the words "Danger Run Slow." The letters must be not less than five inches in height. As the borough will very shortly have these "Danger Run Slow" signs erected the speed limit will therefore be fifteen miles per hour. KNITTLE FAMILY REUNION The Fifth annual reunion of the Knittle Family and relatives will be held in the Moyer Grove, 11,4 miles from 0 rwigsburg. The date set is August I st, 1914. Invitations viil be issued very shortly.

BETTER PAY YOUR 1913 TAX. Years ago when delinquent taxpayers for some reason or other, refused to pay tax it was the borough, the school district and the county that suffered. Things have changed and the tax collector is now the victim as the law requires the tax collector to make good all taxes appearing on the duplicate. The County Commissioners have issued orders to the tax collectors of the county that unless payment is made within a certain period prosecution will follow. This in turn means that the tax collectors will bring suit against all delinquent tax payers.

There are some delinquent tax payers in Schuylkill Haven and it might be well for them to settle up before suit is brought by local tax collectors for 1912 or 1913 taxes. Boy's wash suits at one half price $1.00 suits at $1.50 suits at 75c. $2.00 suits at MOO, $2.50 suits at $1.25. E. G.
