Tho defeat OF tho champion olght Dared
crew OF America, tho Atalantas, by an
eight from Yale university proves that tho
system nowadays OF training college crows
is apt 10 produce such fine results that
only corresponding training by another

difference In weight of tho two orows
which recently raced, II Is found that tho
Yale men spent on an average four times
The amount Of time on tho water ~ their
opponents, and rs che art OF rowing IL 40,
qulrod only by slow process OF building
up strength, II can be seen that the Yale
mon who have been In training for over
six months must bo better than tho Ata-
lantas. The latter have been rowing very
steadily together for several months, mud

A New smoke Consuming Apparatus.

An English exchange calls attention 10 a
recently Invented and patented apparatus
for the combustion OF smoke In ordinary
furnaoeh II consists Of an arrangement Of
brlolswork channels placed underneath the
boiler Near the first bridge there ID a
ventllating door, which can be opened or
closed at will. The apparatus ID connected
with second bridge or air chamber, where
the air 10 heated 10 over 400 dega, In passing,
The hot air causes complete combustion, II
IA eontonded that three advantages arc
gained by the invention, In tho nrat place
the fuel generates more steam, and "A the
second there n great saving OF fuel, Tho
gases which ordinarily pass up the chimney
into the atmosphere are lgnltod aud con

What the Law COntemplates.

While there may be question as to
whether the new board of education law
contemplates the election, Tuesday
when full board of seven is to be chosen
OF majority of the outgoing board, it
is nevertheless not only the clear intent,
but the plain provision of the law
that after this first election each new
board shall contain majority of old
and experienced members. The law
says: 1.-Two members shall be elected
annually, three tri-annual]y." tits thus
clear that next year two new members
will be elected, while five old members
will hold over; the same the year after,
but the third year three new mem-
bers instead of two will be chosen. The
framer of the law was evidently we'll in
formed as to the practical workings of
the public school system, and had prob
ably seen the evil effects of a clean
sweep of experienced men and the elec
tion of men unacquainted with the many
requirements of the thankless position.
At any rate the law is drawn to cover
and prevent any such contingency in the
future. Any one who stops to consider
the matter for even moment must see
that it is awise provision.

''Concienceiess Swindlefs."

Mclean County Mail: For set Of con-
cienceless swlndlers of the public, recon-
mend us to those metropolitan dailies
and the wheat buyers of the Twin cities
whom they are eternally catering to.
For instance. last summer, at harvest,
one of the Pillsbury mill men was out
about Aberdeen looking around. That
year was the poorest the jim River val
ley has known-theress was scarcely any
crop in comparison to those of former
years. It was so all over the territory.
But in the face of the staring facts, and
in spite of the notorious deficiency in the
harvest area, that miller had the hardl-
hood to report to a Minneapolis paper
that there was more than an average
crop in all Dakota; that the dakota
farmers had such chronic habit of kick
ing that they grumbled if they did not
get something marvellous" The object
Of that lying statement was to impress
the Minnesota farmers with the idea that
the big crop here would soon affect the
whole market, and that they would be
liable to lose if they held their grain for
rise in the winter.

The case of Kidd VS. McGinnis. testi-
mony in which was taken Monday before
Referee Frye, is one of the most impor-
tant which has arisen in this county for
several years. It grows out OF the old
city park matter. Some years ago, it
will be remembered, Messrs. Kidd and
McGinnis proposed to donate, under GER
tain conditions, to the city, a certain tract
of land on the bluffs north of the city,
the same to be used as public park.
The city at first accepted and then
backed out. Several years after Capt.
McGinnis donated to the jamestown
college for site his part Of the tract,
of which it was proposed to make a park.
and Kidd now sues him for $4,000 dam
ages. claiming that by so doing the estab-
llshing of park was forever prevented;
that such park would have increased
by $4,000 the value of lands lying con-
tiguous thereto and owned by him and
that MrGinnis' action had therefor
worked him damage to that amount.
