An ex-United Sites Supervising In.
spsctor says: "a boiler never explodes
from undue pressure, for the simple
reason that it is impossible to make all
its parts of equal strength. When the
weakest part gives way the boiler is re-
lieved as it would be by its safety-va1 re.
The only thing which can cause boiler
explosion is the instantaneous con.
version of all or large quantity OF
water into steam, as powder into
gas"
Last winter the Board of School Trus.
tees of Trenton, N. j., made a cha &c in
the grammar in use in the schools. The
change met with great deal of oppo-
sition, and parents Of scholars refused to
expend any money in buying new books.
The majority of the board finally con-
Guided to transfer $500 from the furni-
ture account to the book account, and
so procure the money needed for the
new grammar. The matter went into
the courts, and Judge Scudder fled
paper reversing the action, forbidding
the change Of grammars.
The university Of Pennsylvania is con-
structing furnace in which the refuse
of its dissecting rooms will be rapidly
consumed. 1t is understood that the

the dead will be generally adopted in
the not remote future.
The average yearly cut of lumber. in

exhaust the timber now growing from
the Columbia to the Frazer, and from

HORRIBLE HOMICIDE.
A Promising Career Suddenly
and Sadly Terminated by a
Careless Hand.

The admonition that Gin the midst of
life we are III death' has come to this
community in a sad way this week, and
the unerring archer commissioned with
death has sent his shaft to the heart of !.
respected fellow citizen. On Tuesday
Frank l.. AXtell drove to the claim of
Omund Nelson. some seven miles east
Of CooperstoWn, for the purpose of
carrying luncheon to some men there at
work planting trees. AS Mr.. AxtelI
drove up to the group (they had quit
work for dinner) he received charge of
buckshot in the chest that ended his ex-
emplary life instantly: dying before he
fell from the seat. The man to blame
for the accident was Daniel Danielson,
an employe of Mr.. Nelson, who had
been and was handling the gun. 1t
seems he lay flat on the ground with
the gun resting over "a gopher mound,
the muzzle pointing upwards at about
30 degrees angle. As the muzzle point
ed direct at Mr.. Axtell, on halting his
horse, he playfully pointed his cane at
Daniefson lemarking: ''Oh, you're mo-
where with your gun" Alas. those
were his last words, for in one moment
his soul was marching to eternity. us in
some maneuver of Danielson the weapon
was discharged with the above result.
On Wednesday Coroner Virgo swore
Capt. NJ. Robinson. Sam'l llomme and
Steen II. Nelson in as jurors. and pro-
ceeded With an examination. The ver-
dict returned was that he came to his
death 'sby gun discharged in an unac-

Third, The amount of PRINCIPAL and
interest upon this amount of bonds at
the expiration of twenty wears Would
not exceed two dollars apiece to the en-
tire population, therefore it will not l,e
burdensome to the people.
Fourth, am assured that the bonus
which will be given by parties who de-
sire to secure the location of the comrt
house near theirinterestsw will he snbstan-
tial, and this amount-three to eight
thousand dollars as the case may he,
more OF less. can be applied to the sink
ing fund and thus help us in redeeming
the bonds--if we do not wish to have
them run for a long term of years.
Fifth, The bonds can readily be nego-
tiated at par value as they are the 'first
bonds" Doubtless a premium can be
secured, as many of the ''tirst bonds''
OF new counties in our territory are
taken at a premium, and ours are as
substantial as any county in the terri
tory.
Sixth, Long term bonds-20 wears
are preferable to short term, as the
amount pro rata will he less as the tax
paying population is increased and it is
just that people coming in here to share
our good fortune should assist in she
erection of these buildings.
Seventh, The expenses for offices for the
county business and Jail would cost
nearly, if not quite the interest upon the
bonds. Therefore on general principles
OF business, economy and prudence. |
am for bonds.
