Last Friday an inspector was in the borough looking over our proffered sites for the office, from' which one will be selected after tta first of January. The four bids which have been placed are: Tb* present location te the Bland building, the Argonne hotel owned by Fred J. Hotover, the Dysart bunding, long used as a hardware store, now vacant and ownedl by Mrs. R. M. Dysart, and the old First National bank building. AU of the buildings are on Main street,' and are conveniently located in the business district of the borough.

It is large andj commodious and affords ample room for the dispatch of the business.

NOTICE IS GIVEN Some time ago a notice was prinftr- ed requesting our citizens to look after tte drainage from their house roofs which was permitted to run over the sidewalks, thereby creating a dangerous condition in winter by freeking. It seems that no action has been taken to abate this nuisance. I am hereby serving notice on all concerned that no leniency will be shown this winter on accumulation of snow and ice on the sidewalks, which endangers the life or limb of pedestrians. Also the low hanging limbs of shade trees to which no request ha* been paid that they be trimmed to a height ao as not to endanger tte eyesight of persons walking. All trees must be trimmed high enough ao persons can walk under, them without being annoyed by tte low hanging limbs. EDGAR McKlNNEY, Burgess.

President Judge Marion D. Patterson presiding at tte hearing called to tte school dispute. Attorney John M. Klepser was counsel fer tte Antis township citizens opposing the school consolidation. At torney Bernard J. Jubelirer, solictor of tte Antis school board, represented that group and Attorney Paul J. Smith, solicitor of BeUwood borough, acted for the borough government On the matter. In opening tte hearing, Attorney Jubelirer askea for a dismissal of the petition on the grounds that tte '"petitions** were without ttct or tow to support their contentions;" Attorney Klepser said1 it was ths contention of the Antis township citisens ttat the "board acted without consulting tte people.'' "The law sets forth ttat the joint operation of two school districts, such as in effect between Antis township and Bellwood borough, may be brought about without consulting the people," said Judge Patterson. "It is unfortunate that aach is tta case, bat tte supreme court upholds such contentions and we aa judges have no alternative." Considerable argument ensued as to whether or not "cojrri'ce" had been practiced by tha Antis achool board. This was not found in evidence, according to tte judge's ruling. •etmal adlrsstoi* " by tt* people and they are em powered to join in consolidation witt another district. The courts are without jurisdiction unless the school directors do so, joining in an unlawful manner. There is no unlawful procedure, nor fraud, apparent fo this action," pointed oat the judge, who- took occasion to score the "centralization of school powers at Harrisburg." > "'The whole township may be' 100 per cent against the plan, yet school directors stand above tte courts in such matters," continued the judge, j After tte court ruling, Attorney Klepser voluntarily (withdrew the petition. He stated that he had made known to his clients that the laws failed to support their "opposition!."' •■%;**' Attorney Jubelirer then outlined ttat "all of the school board's files are opern to tte people. We will gladly show them tte advantages of tte joint school operation. We want tte citisens to know that the school board acted In good faith and for tte best interests of the township." A large delegation of Antis citizens waa on hand for tte hearing but no testimony was token. The Antis school board members and tte Bellwood school officers also were present. The action to restaaln the jointing of the two school districts was introduced into court Aug. 28 by Attorney Klepser. Meanwhile, tte two districts inaugurated the union when tte 1888-39 term had tta inception last year. 1 ers ■ ANOTHER DAY TO REGISTER BeUwood citisens of voting age will be accorded another day upon Which to register their party preference.

Ber|I Heaver, Superintendent, Nasea Hospital Itisai lag Spring, Blair Co., Pa. Had we lived 150 years age, the occurences described below and persented to Louis XVI of France by M. Tenon, an eye-witness, would have been a commonplace. "Our committee". Tenon wrote, "saw convalescents in tte same rooms aa the sick, the dying and the dead. They saw the dead and the living together, the room allotted to the insane, near that of the unfortunate creatures who had suffered the most cruel operations and who can obtain no repose In operations and who ean obtain no repose 'in the neighborhood of these madmen, whose frantic cries sre heard by day and night. "The room where operations are performed > tretpanning, cutting and amputating*' (anesthesia had not yet been discovered "contains at the- same time those who are being operated on, those who are I awaiting operations and those whe I have a,lrea,dy Undergone them. "The operations take place to the middle of the room itself. One sees there the preparations for the torture, one hears tte cries of those who endure it, he who to . to suffer tomorrow has before him the pibture of his future agonies; he who has passed through this terrible trail, imagine how deeply he will be moved by sheas cries of pain." How slowly, yet how surely, wa have advanced. Surely all who realize they escaped such horrors by just a few generations, should offer up b slent prayer for modern hospitals—and anjesthesia.

Trading Po»l of Early Saltier*
Suffer* Severe Damage
An eld landmark oa the Lowthes
farm southeast of the borough
suffered severe lorn by fire last Friday forenoon, when tte flames
broke ont on the roof of tte old
building, which m situated) near tt*
concrete bride on tte. highway
leading to Altoona. Ties building
was occupied by W. W. Pfahler
and family as a dwelling and the
fire evidently had its origin from
the shingle roof, the same being
quite dry and inflammable due to
the long perJod of dry weather
which had prevailed in this section.
The members of the BeUwood
fire company responded to the
alarm and fought j tte blaze for
more than an hour. A conservative estimate of the damages to the
propery is .placed at $1,000. The
building is owned by tte heirs of
the James Lowther estate.
It was one of the landmarks of
the community, having been erected by tte late B. Frank Bell, who
will be remembered by only th*
older readers of the Bulletin, ft
waa erected possibly one hundred
years ago, long before tte borough
of Bellwood came into existence.
It was used for store purposes aft*u
it was built, and It was also tte
site of the Bell's Mills .postoffice,
as the community waa then known*
For years it was the old time trading post far tte old time settlers
of this part of tte Logan Valley,
and it was here they went to get
their supplies and mail. ,
Up until a year or two before
they passed away, tte building was

one will be selected after tta first

have been placed are: Tb* present
location te the Bland building, the
Argonne hotel owned by Fred J.
Hotover, the Dysart bunding, long
used as a hardware store, now
vacant and ownedl by Mrs. R. M.
Dysart, and the old First National

district of the borough. Announcement of the selection will be made

in tte Bland building for the past

room for the dispatch of the business.

is problematical, but it ia said that
a change may be made.
