1913, 8; in "a, 81, IA total of IS graduates, G3
of whom were residents of this city. OF
the 300 pupils enrolled for this year, 81 are
from outside cities aud places. The Otta-
wa High School was organized on the
thirteenth of April, 1873, and at once took
the place of the old city High School. 1t
is supported by the city and by the two
adjacent townships of North Ottawa and
South Ottawa The first Board of Direct,
ors consisted of Dr. j. G.. hathaway, vii.
liam Calvin and James II. Pickens. Tn
der their efficient management the school
was placed on firm basis and the present
beautiful building erected.
Much of the success of the school Is due
to the energy and organizing ability of the
first Principal, Henry L. Boltwood, who re-
manned till June, 1888, when he was sue
ceeded by the present Principal, Charles
w. Tufts. The school is under the man
agement of separate Board of Trustees
and has no connection with the city schools,
except that pupils graduating from the
city ward schools can enter the first year
class in the High School on diploma with,
out examination. The growth of the school
has been remarkable. Starting with about
one hundred pupils it has grown in seven
years to be the largest of the six Township
High Schools in Illinois, and the largest
High School of any kind in the state out
side of Chicago. This growth has come
not merely from the city, but from all the
surrounding townships and counties. Near
ly all parts of Northern Illinois are repre-
scented among the pupils.
The graduates who have attended school

Herds of Wild Horses.

The herds of wild horses northeast
of Cheyenne have got to be very
troublesome lately. The wild animals
entice away the tame ones in consider
able numbers. The loss sustained by
various horSe-breedcrs has at last be-
come so large that some measures must
be adopted to reclaim them and also to
prevent further loss, if possible. From
the horse ranch of Hon. NJ. Z. Post,
situated about fifteen miles northward
of the city, nearly two hundred mares
have wandered away, and of that num-
Der it is thought fully one hundred are
now with the wild horses. Other horse
raisers have suffered proportional
losses, and so it has come about that
an organized effort will be made this
winter to exterminate the stations, for,
once rid of them, entire bands may be
rounded up and secured. To that end
a party of hunters will soon leave for
northeastern Wyoming. They will 60
with long-range rifles and will carry a
large supply of forage. so that their
horses may be fed during the winter.
The rest is easy Mounted upon their
granted animals, the hunters will
pursue the wild bands when they are
somewhat weakened by the rigors of
winter. Riding as close as possible,
the hunters will then shoot down the
stations from time to time. BY this
means it is hoped that by spring near
ly all the sta lions will be killed and
the capture &f the mares thus be made
possible.
in addition to the killing of the stall
lions the men will, to use familiar
term, "wolf it, as opportunity may
afford. Coyote pelts are worth nearly
81 in the market, while a territorial
bounty of $3.50 on each and every pelt
makes the value of each about $3.50.
The hunting party will be paid month
ly wages and will be gone all winter.
A report of their success and adven-
lures will be Of interest in the spring.

How Gen. Grant Divided His First
Months Pay.
New York Special

On Wednesday night, when the Gen.
eral was sinking fast, the check for his
first months pay as General on the re-
tired list was handed to him. He
seemed glad to get it, and called for a
pen and endorsed it. Several times
through the night he spoke of it. The
next morning, as soon as he recovered
from his bad turn, he spoke again of
the check. At o'clock ex-senator
Chaffee went to the bank and drew the
money, 81 900, and brought it to the
General. Rousing himself, the sick
man counted over the money, and laid
it beside him in piles of 5000 each.
Then he called all the family to him,
and as they stood tearfully beside him
he gave to each of the children one OF
the five piles, and the remaining one to
Mrs, Grant. Then he asked for his
pocket-book, in which he said he had
a little money. He opened 1t and took
out every cent, counted it carefully,
and requested that it be given to his
sister, Mrs. Dent.
When the family had withdrawn he
said to ex-senator Chaffee: "That's all
I've got to give them. | have two bug
gies and two sets of harness down at
Smiths, but they have no use for them
They are the last of my worldly posses
siOns.o
By "Smith" he referred to livery
stable keeper at Long Branch.

The uprising in the northwest ter
ritory is not merely an indian revolt.
IL is rebellion against what appears
to be gross injustice on the part Of the
government. The rebelsare halfbreeds,
the sons, graudsons, and great-gran d.
sons of the Hudson Bay company off,
cials and trappers who took unto them
selves indian wives-because there were
no Others to be had. Most of these
trappers were French-Canadians, the
officials English and Scotch. The half
breeds number several thousand in all,
the greater part of them, before the
Hudson Bay territory was sold to the
Canadian government, living in the
Red river and Saskatchewan valleys.
They had taken up land and lived
principally by agriculture. In order to
enable these settlers to live near togeth-
er along the river banks and give each
one river frontage, their farms were
very long and narrow, generally four to
eight acres wide and two miles in
length, like the old French "claims"
along the st. Lawrence and Detroit
rivers. The half-breeds had no title
from the government for their farms.
The government bought all the lands,
except few specially reserved by the
company, and proceeded to take pos
session without much regard to the
moral rights of the settlers. Trouble
first began i'm Manitoba, in and around
Winnipeg, and in 1850, Riel, the leader
of the present rebellion, organized
armed opposition to the survey of their
lands by the government with the
view to sale, and there was some blood
shed at that time. This trouble was
settled by the government giving each
halfbreed square farm for his very
much elongated claim and paying
Riel So 900 to get out of the country for
five years. The new trouble is located
on the Saskatchewan, over 500 miles
northwest from Winnipeg and over
200 miles north of the Canadian Pacific
railway. The cause is the same as in
the fOrmor case, surveyors having
undertaken to lay out the narrow farms
into sections. The halfbreeds demand
ed to be as favorably treated as their
brethern in Manitoba. The govern
ment refused, or neglected, the survey
Ors were run out of the country, the
mounted police interfered and shooting
at once began. Riel is now at the head
of | 900 to 800 armed and determined
men fighting for their homes, and is
backed by the sympathy of the whole
indian population, which may become
very active at any moment. The gov
eminent will be compelled sventually
to grant their reasonable demands, but
it may not do this until it has taught
them a severe lesson tor taking up arms
and attacking the police-if it can.
This will be very difficult and very eX-
pensive, for the country is an empire in
extent without railways or steamboats,,
in which the halfbreeds and indians
could make effective resistance for
years if they choose to keep up the
fight. Cleveland Press.

When Humbolt visited the City of
Mexico he recorded the depth of Lake
Texcoco at sixteen feet and ten inches.
To-day its greatest depth is six feet and
eight inches, and scientific observations
show that the bottom of the lake is ris-
ing at the rate of one and one-half
inches annually. Its bottom is now
but nine feet below the level of princi-
pal streets of the capital, and at this rate,
unless the lake is drained, it is shown
that before many years the City of Mexi-
co will be permanently under water.
The sewage of the city is now drained
into the lake, which in Summer is not
more than three feet lower than the bot
tom of the main sewer, while in the rainy
season the rise of the water in the lake
causes the immediate backset of all
sewage. 1t is no wonder that Mexicos
death rate is high. No efforts are be-
ing made to drain Lake Texcoco.
