and of the remodeling and extension OF
the Leavitt street school house ana

VILLAGE ind that the amount voted by the
town at the special meeting called for
that purpose in Inadequate and they also
deem it judicious and economical TO eNcct
walls of two story structure on the
South side and finish OFF the first story
only this season, and the second story
within a very few years when needed,
rather than erect one story building
now and put on the other story when
needed. The extra expense OF the walls
of the second story would not be great,
and it will make much better building
than if erected piece meal. Therefore
after thorough conference with many
citizens Interested in the good of our
schools and the jndicious investment of
money for the erection of school houses
tn. selectmen have concluded To call 6
town meeting to give the citizens OF th'

Sir George Stephen haa rendered his reeig-
nation as president Of the Canadian Pacific
railway and w. C, Van Horn vice president,
was unanimously elected in his stead. Sir
George Stephen remains director of tho
company and a member Of the executive COM
mittee.
There has been some serious laundering in
forwal ding Canadian troops to Skeena
Forks, the scene Of the Indian uprising in
British Columbia, which according to advices
received from the Pacific may result in COM
plete humiliation of tho expeditionary force
now on their way to Skeena river Too late
the militia department discovered they had
made terrible blunder in the route of
transport in sending troops up Skeena river,
which has to- he undertaken in canoes
through country reported to be wholly alive
with hostile Indians armed with Winchester
rifles and strongly intrenched along the river
in the high impregnable bluffs, which bound
it on either side. The Mass river route would
have taken the expedition through Il coun-
try not infested with hostile Indians up to
within a short distance from where it was OK
Pected the first engagement would take place.
1t Is stated by traders recently down from
the scene of trouble that the Indians are ac-
lively preparing to resist an attack and
have intrenched themselves all along the
the river, from which position twenty Indians
could wipe out the whole detachment with.
out fear of losing man.

Bennettsville, Ind, holds within
it's confines a remarkable freak.
The wonder is Henry Luegeman.
Three years ago, during storm, he
was engaged in gathering tan-bark,
when the tree from which he was TAX
ing it was struck by lightning.
Luegelman received a severe shock.
1t transformed him into q genuine
electric man. Any one who shakes
hands with Luegeman now receives
n severe shock. By passing the
blade Of q knife between his thumb
and finger during the progress of a
storm he charges the metal SO strong
ly that heavy weights can he lifted.
When flies alight upon him they
drop dead, and when he is in a dark
room sparks fash from his flesh and
his eyes shine likeincandescent lights.
Whenever storm approaches
Lucgeman becomes highly charged
with electricity, and it is dangerous
to touch him. He claims to feel no
Inconvenience, except that he will go
near no moving locomotive, for fear
Of being drawn against it and killed.

LANDGRAF's CRIME.
The crime for which Henry Landgraf suf-
fered the death penalty was committed on
the night of March S, 1885. The victim was
of less than eighteen years Of age. Jealousy
prompted the deed. On the dag of the MUIR

revolver with which he killed her in his peck

great depth is being sunk to supply

journal says that a depth Of 1920
