'Mike" Vincent Trumps Up a Charge Against a Liquor Dealer and Offers to Settle for $5. "Mike" Vincent is an ex-con vict, he having served a 5 years' sentence in the Klmira reformatory Borne years ago for stealing cattle About three weeks ago Vincent who has been staying at the county house, came to Towanda and trumped np a charge against ward Quigley for selling liquor to minors. Vincent tried to get warrant for Quigley's arrest iu the borough, but 'Squire Orcutt would not give him one, so he proceeded to Monroeton aud got the warrant The trial was Bet for Ut Friday and before the hearing took place, Vincent offered to settle the case for the Burn of 85 and would go Owego. But Mr. Quigley would not listen to Vincent, knowing that it was a case of blackmail.

At the trial Mr. Quigley was discharged, no witnesses appearing. Vincent I as returned to the county house Constable Hollon knows manv of these blackmailers and hehasdoue much in breaking them up in the past three years. Previous to his holding the office of con Bt able there were numerous blackmailing cases againBt the liquor dealerB. This is the second time within the past month that blackmailers have tried to "work" Mr.

Quigley. OF INTEREST TO TAXPAYERS. In hiB inaugural address Governor Stone indicated that he desired the Legislature to do two things at least that would be a great hard-bhip upon the taxpayers and increase their burdeus. He -desires the state appropriation to the public schools to be reduced and also the state tax to be retained by the Auditor General from all the couu-ties for a period of at least two years in order to replenish the depleted Treasury. If iu the first the Btate appropriation were cut down, more funds would have to be raised by taxation in every Bchool district to meet the necessary expense of maintaining our schools.

Therefore every school board should take action at once, protesting against a reduction of appropriation, direct its secretary to notify our members in the Legislature of such action and urge them to use their influence in keep ing the annual appropriation where it is. As to the second point if the county's part of the money on state tax were to be held by the state, it would make an annual loss to this county of nearly $9,000. This amount taken out of the county funds, would make that much more, which would have to bo raised by a tax upon the people. County Commissioners from all over the state are making an earn est effoit Ut defeat the movement, and save the people from farther burdens. The East Towanda Koad Case.

It has long v-1 a fact well known to persons pbd in (durational mailers tUt the public schools ot lowauo am shamefully low and im fhcient in many respects and that there is urgent need of re form, if they are to be placed on an quality with ob houls of the Maine grade in the country. The reason of the present inefficient condition in me hcihmhk is that they have for years Ueu kept under control of the political "machine," and no otie allowed upon the board who was not acceptable- to machine bosses.

The Star believes- it in the duly of every good citizen, without re gard to politics, to do everything in his power to remedy this evil. If there is one branch of the public government which ought to be, free from political branch is the public school-. The people of Towanda bad a bitter experience within the last year wheu a worthy principal was dismissed without any apparent reason except to grat ify the Bptte oi a small politician. There was. a great outcry at the time against political school boards.

aud ths people now have it in their power to show now much sincerity there was in that cry The Democrats have shown their sincerity in the matter by indorsing the nomination of W. E. Lane, Republican, because they believe him a good man for the place.They now make the very reasonable re quest that all good citizens who are in favor ot non-parusau schools, tbout regard to party should re ciprocate by voting lor Arthur Head lor scnooi director. Mr. Head is a man who has had a large and successful experience as a teacher, is well posted in educational matters and deeply mterested in the welfare of our schools, himself having several children at present in school.

If the people of Towanda fail to Bup-port Mr. Head for school director under these circumstances, it must be because they are in favor of po litical schools. The Star has nothing to say against Mr. Mix, except that his nomination is purely a political one, made by politicians, for the purpose of keeping the schools under political control. We leave it to the fair mind -d Republicans of Towanda borough, whether it is not just and right that the schools should be, if possible removed from the influence of partisan politics, and directors elected who have knowledge and experience in edu cational matters, and who will at least take the pains to visit the schools occasionally to see how things are run.

The people now have the matter in their own hands. If they desire to continue the schools under political control, of course they will vote the 'straight" ticket selected for them by the politicians. If they deBire non-partisan schools they will cnt loose from the politicians and elect a board of directors who are interested in the schools and who will work for their best interests regardless of politics. PEACHES 91 YEARS OLD. Preserved Pear' of Tht Were jt Tears Tears Old.

While living at Farmington, yeare ago, Mrn. J. W. Allen, wife of the patrolman, preserved a jar of peaches. After the peaches had been sealed up for 21 years, Mrs.

Allen thought it about time to test them, so on last Saturday the jar was opened ana the peaches partaken of. All who were fortunate being treated to them, pro nounced the peaches iust as sweet and juicy as though they had just oeen preserven. a woman who can preserve peaches in this manner is hard to fiud, and we predict Mrs. Allen's Ber vices will be much sought after when preserving time comes.

Mother and (tneen. The following etory is told of the late Queen Louise of Denmark, who was as model a mother aa she was a queen One day Empress Anprusta woe talking to her daughter-in-law, the present Empress Frederick of Germany, who had been complaining to her of the difficulty she experienced now and again of keeping her children in order. We need not, therefore, taka it that those youngsters were more unruly than others of the same age and less exalted po sition; bat, as a matter of course, they had their fits of too exuberant spirits, and the then crown princess of Prussia, who was at that moment, as she was nearly always, engaged iti some philanthropic project, may have grown somewhat fretful under the circumstances. 'What am I to do with them insisted the crown princess. "Ask your mother," replied the empress.

Then, after a slight pause, she changed her mind, "No; don't ask your mother. She always had all of you dangling round her skirts, too, when she was your age; she was always frightened that the mother might be lost in the queen. Askyoursistcr-in-law'smother; ask Queen Louisa of Denmark. There an equal proportion of the queen and the mother about her, and I know of better brought up ofcildren than hers.
