COMMON SCHOOLS BY anotice in our adver-
school trustees have called an election to de-
tevmine whether money Shall be raised to build
an addition 10 the public school building, SO that
our school may be divided into three depart
ments We are for the tax, and haze mo doubt
it will carry by an almost unanimous vote.
These common schools are'the only educational
institutions that the public should be taxed to
support, and to that tax, with but few excep-
tons, cheerfully submit The people oweit to
their future welfare and Government to give
every cbilssa con,-lcr, English education there
the public duty stops ana there let the child S
education, at public expense, stop. If every
child in the land is given good common school
education, then the public has performed its
duty well toward the rising generation. Our
school buildings need charging and improving,
and we say to the readers hope they will
respond to the call of the trustees without a
murmur.
'rThe people will be called on to vote the sum
of 81 $50 90 to enlarge the building and employ
an additional teacher If the railroad would
pay up its back taxes for 1868 and 1872 there
would be largely more money IN the school
district fund than would be wanted for TINS
purpose Voters, when you go to the polls you
may say tto yourselves, 'If the railroad had
paid its taxes we would have been spared this
trouble and money"

FIRE-NAKRow ESCAPE FROM DEATH Last
Wednesday morning messenger came rushing
in town with the news thatthe Auburn mine was
on fire, and twomen IN the shaft, We, with
others, Immediately started to the spot, which
we shuddered to think must inevitably be the
scene of most terrible calamity. But imagine
our happy surprise on arriving at the mine, when
wefound the fire mostly subdued and the two
men whom we had thought consigned to an excru-
ciating and untimely death, 250ft under ground,
stepping about on the surface of mother earth
without bruise or even pale face from fright.
The fire had originated in the roof of The black
smith shop which was connected with the store
house and building which covered IN the hoist
ing works In q short time these buildings were
all ablaze, and before the men could be signal
ed to come up the fire was burning Immediately
over the mouth of the shaft. The blaze ascend
ed high over what seemed their deep grave and
from the cracking ruins came in rapid success
sion the explosion of nineteen kegs of blasting
powder and six cartridges of giant powder, which,
added to the thought of the two men below,
made the scene awful in the extreme. The first
they knew of their dangerous condition was when
the rope fell They examined it and found it
had been burned off at the top; this alarmed
them, and they at once started for the surface
On ascending about 100 feet, they realized their
condition fully and the smoke was so thick and
suffocating they could not well ascend further
They famed themselves with their hats to catch
what air they could They were beginning,
though, to feel sensations of suffocation, when
large stream of water came laundering down
the shaft turned in by those above in hopes of
afording relief to the sufferers should they still
De alive. To escape the force of the falling
stream they stepped into the mouth of drift
and from the reviving effects of the cool water
were, by the time the fire had burned out above,
able to climb bravely to the surface. The names
of the gentlemen who thus narrowly escaped q
horrld death are James Cadden aud Michael
hlley. The damage by the fire. including build
lngs tools and supplies, is estimated at about
$l,Oo0 The water wheel and pump are COM
paratively uniptned. Altogether it is lucky
escape from what might easily have been a most
terrible calamity in the loss of life and property
Ihe owners may be proud the fire did not burn
away the timbers Of the shaft and almost ruin
al their past works; and We congratulate Messrs
oadden and Riley that they are still on this side
OF eternity.
