LACK OF ACCOMMODATION
A Large Number of Children Unable To
Go To School

In accordance with the published an
nouncement, school was formally opened
last Monday. and il soon became evident
that the school house would not begin to
accommodate the children applying for
tuition. An attempt was made toremedy
the overcrowded condition of the build
ing by allowing one-half OF the pupils to
attend In the morning and the other half
in the afternoon. Even this arrangement
fails to meet the requirements. When the
present school house was being built many
thought that II was at least two years
ahead Of the city. but the city has grown
so rapidly and its permanent population
50 increased that il would require build
ing with four times the size and number
of rooms of the present one.
Considerable complaint Is being made
regarding the inadequate facilities. and 1t
is suggested that the directors rent some
rooms and fix them up to be used for
school purposes. The utmost harmony
does not seem to exist in the board of d.
rectors, and 1t is earnestly hoped that the
existing differences will soon be- adjusted.
and that something will BE- done to relieve
the crowded condition of the schoolhouse.

Il met Mr.. Stevens at the house of his
brother ana sister-in-law on the Fourth

was visiting, | am sure was entirely inno-
cent of the trap set by his wife and
brother to entce me into marriage with

der the influence Of drugs, and deny EN-
phatically that ever responded willingly
to any clergyman's questions. have dis
covered, however, that a ceremony was
performed, but by whom refuse to state
at present"
Referring to her alleged husband, Miss
Fales said: "Of all men he is the last
that should have accepted as husband.
He was below the medium height, coarse
lin fact. vulga his eyes were sore and
his whole appearance indicative of a ruff
fan. To his sister-inlaw, who had in
trOduced me, lay all the blame for my

Miss Fales Is rather a pretty girl OF 10.
Intelligent and vivacious, and II her story
be- true will hardly submit to the outrage
that has been put upon her.

ID. Odell. a wealthy New Yorker, who is

come.
One of the sharks, more daring than the
rest, made dash from the rear. Mr.
Odell was unprepared for this attack
The monster caught the mans left arm
IN his wide-Open mouth. The cries of
Mr.. Odell tor help had reached the ears
OF some persons on the shore and they ar
rived az point to see what the trouble
was. When the attack came from the
rear they were only a few feet away. One
OF the party carried a gun. and as the Jaws
of the shark closed on the struggling man
the gun was leveled at the nose of the
monster and discharged. The bullet sped
true To its mark and the Jaw opened and
Mr, Odell was released from his perilous
position.
The shark was only stunned. however.
and while the men We're lifting the rescu-
ed man into the boat It revived and made

Judge w. H. Calkins of Wash
ington Mentioned in Connec-
ton with the Position
1t is Hoped that Chiaf Clerk
Fowler Will Secure the
Coveted Prize

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20-There Is con-
siderable speculation In political circles
as to who will succeed Mr.. Clarkson as
assistant postmaster general. Mr.. Clark
sons resignation will take effect Septem-
Der 1. Rumor has assigned the Office to
Samuel Fessenden, of Connecticut. also a
member of the national republican COM
mittee, but high authority says there is
no foundation for 1t In the first place it
is not expected that another eastern man
will be assigned to so prominent a posi-
ti0n In the department. when nearly all
the higher officials have been appointed
from that locality, and. second. it is not
believed that Mr.. Fessenden would resign
a law practice that is worth $4,000 year
to accent an office that paws only $500.
Mr. Fessenden's visit here at this time
has given color to the report, but his mis-
sion is private one and in no way con-
nected with politics.
Some lOf the other candidates for Mr..
Clarkson's political old shoes are Mr..
Michener the present attorney general of
Indiana; Judge W. II. Calkins, now res
ldent OF washington and former repre-
sentative in congress from Indiana: Mr..
Payne. chairman of the republican state
central committee of Wisconsin. and Mr..
Fowler, for many years the appointment
clerk of the postoffice department and
now the chief clerk of the first assistants
Office
II the successOrship Is TO be given as a
reward for long ana faithful service in
the employ of the government there is a
general hope about the department, in
which Mr.. Clarkson shares, that Mr..
Fowler will be selected. There is little in
the Office that would make 1t alluring TO
politician. Mr.. Clarkson has done his
work well and the few officials subject TO
decapltation who are left are lily calcu-
lated TO stimuldte the ambition OF even
third-rate spokesman. IL Is possible that
when. the other candidates realize this
fact they will drop out of the race, thus
giving the president an opportunity OF
defining his position upon a subject OF
civil service reform.
