Yesterday forenoon DR.. W. E. stathers
hitched his horse in front of the INTEL
LIGEHcrR office. Soon one of n. schulz's
delivery wagons was driven out Of the
alley and it struck the hind wheel Of
DR.. stathers's buggy, carrying the
buggy out into the street and breaking
four or five spokes OF the wheel. DR..
Stathers blamed the accident on the
drivers carelessness. In the afternoon
the same horse was turning from Six
teenth street into alley b when, in some
inexplicable way, it got its foot caught
between two stones and was thrown
down. 1t was got up with no more Sc
rious injury than cut on its right foot.

the brave act of Thomas Fleming, of
MoundsviIle, yesterday. A team of
horses belonging to the firm of Weaver
& BardalIs, and attached to big wagon
loaded with limbs of trees, was standing
in front OF the residence Of Mr.. Hum

horses became frightenedat something,
and Mr.. Humphreys little boy was
thrown out Of the wagon and between
the two horses. He chung to one OF the

ly Discharged.
On Wednesday Charles, the young
son OF Jefferson Rowles, OF JacobsburG,
Belmont county, went out hunting in
the woods near his home. In the even
ing he did not return to his home, and
his friends becoming uneasy, party
was organized to make thorough
search for him. After n long tramp
they found his dead body lying in the
woods by the side OF fallen tree. The
place was about three miles from
Jacobsburg,
His head was lying down the hill.
Only one barrel OF his gun had been
loaded, and it had evidently been acct
dentally discharged as he stepped over
the log, The whole side of his face was
blown off, and his injuries were such
that he probably died instantly.
The young man was only little over
twenty years old, and was much liked
by large circle OF acquaintances. For
several years he had been engaged in
teaching country schools in that part
OF Belmont county, and he was very
successful teacher for his age. His
death causes general sorrow in the
community.

pectfully submitted,
w. II. ANDERSON,
Superintendent City Schools.

The recommendation oil the superln-
tendent was referred to the committee
on teachers and schools.
The examining committee recon-
mended renewal OF all certificates OF
teachers and. substitutes for one year,
and that after the close OF the present
school year all teachers and substitutes
excepting those coming under article
10, OF the general rules, shall be exam
ined in arithmetic and spelling. The
recommendation were adopted.
A request Of the board Of directors OF
the Stale Fair association; was received
asking the board to grant holiday on
Friday, September II, to enable the
school children 10 attend the Fair. Mr..
Bloch and DR.. Campbell were in favor Of
granting the request, believing that the
children would attend the Fair anyhow,
and interfere with the school. Colonel
Miller did not know that there was
much at the fair that would benefit the
cause OF education. ueconsidered that
the horse racing was the chief attrac-
ton. The Colonel did not know Of any
other city, besides perhaps, st. Louis,
that closed the schools on account OF II
public fair. He knew it might be n
good thing for the Fair management,
but he, as a stakeholder, thought they
had asked the people Of Wheeling for
charity too often, and he wanted the
Fair to stand on its own bottom. Mr..
Ebeling thought the board ought to
select its own date for giving holiday,
and Mr.. Miller suggested that the ques-
ton be referred to the Superintendent,
who, in conjunction with the board OF
the directors OF the Fair association,
should select some afternoon for half
holiday. The motion was carried.
Mr.. Bloch nominated Mary l.. Jcn-
nings as teacher in Is Grade, Lincoln
school, vice Mary Champ, resigned.
The Board then confirmed the nomi-
nations for principal and teachers OF
the Union sub.district school. The
Committee on Library was instructed
to attend to rendering safe the
stairway to the Library, which is in u
bad condition.
Mr.. jefferson asked that the Board
grant the Commissioners OF Clay dis
trict the power to pave the yard around
the janitor's, house in the rear OF the
school.
The committee on buildings and
grounds reported bills aggregating
s., $50 and recommended the erection Of
stand pipe in the Union school
building. The committee on Public
Library recommended payment OF bills
aggregating SSN As. The committee on
accounts recommended payment OF bills
asgregating SSl6 "a. The reports were
received and filed.
The librarian reported that tho circu-
lation OF books for the month OF July
had been 4,27B; the average circulation
per day, 1854; circulation in reading
room, $50; amount received from fines,

Since there is now no arrangement for

recommend the following:
1t shall be the duty OF each principal
OF each school to have all the primary
teachers meet him in grademeeting OF
at least one hours duration, once each
month during the school year. lie may
combine the teachers OF the A and b
divisions in the same meeting, and in
the same manner those OF the . and d
divisions, but no NEE ing shall be held
at such time us TO shorten the hours OF
regular school work. 1t shall be the
duty OF the superintendent to meet the
teachers in these grade meetings as often
as mis- other duties will permit, and the
principal shall SO arrange the time for
Them thatno twoscloolss shall hold them
at the same hour. The principals shall
meet once each month, and the gram
mar school teachers once int months,
us the superintendent may arrange.
Each teacher OF the district shall be
allowed one whole day or two half days
during the school year to visit the cor
responding grades of other schools in
the district or elsewhere, the time for
such visits to be fixed by the principal
OF the school 10 which the teacher be-
longs, but not more than two teachers
shall visit from any school during the
same time. At such time the principal
Of the school shall call the substitute
teacher or teachers, who shall be paid
by the board one dollar per day for such
services.

what particularly awakened my interest.
We have been taught by the best wor6s on
insects that the young of spide,s derive
their food mostly from the moisture in the

growth Of commerce through tho sound
is wonderful indeed, but the figures
mean much more than mere record.
What will be the through
this channel in ten years on q compare
tive basis with other ports? The great
bulk Of foreign trade is to come through
this corner Of the United States. The
prestige Of San Francisco ms a Pacific
seaport is gone forever, and it is not
likely that San Diego will ever become a
serious rival to the coast cities il the
race for ocean traffic. The United
States is reaching into foreign fields for
new markets. The Oriental trade must
come to us through the Puget sound.
1t is the natural American seaport for
the west South American trade. The
trade with European countries will con
tinue to become one sided as we ad-
in the cheap production CT manu-
factured goods. Tho great m
the future will be with newly devel-
oped countries and these are for the
most part to the west of us. The heavy
imports and exports will roll through
great northwest aud all cities in this
section will receive advantages resultant
from closer connections with new mar
xets.

THE question, Does Prohibition Pro-

way in Iowa. In Maine it is always
q subject for discussion. The MAYOR of

Maine has a prohition law and Port

as we Gid here on Saturday evening.

TOPEKA, Kan. Aug. a.--A week ago an old

Western Kansas, in the ~treeless part of the

of man reaches, a desert. Speculation Is
rife over the discovery, and many theories
are advanced to account for the existence
of these articles in this place. Some con-

an ancient semi-civiliZed race which ocou-
pied the land when it was capable of sup

During the progress of digging a curious
condition of the soil and rock was observed.
The soil was very hard and of n honey
combed nature, while the rock was soft
limestone, mingled with a large amount
of some yellow mineral which closely re-
sembled gold. Some of the mineral was
taken to a chemist, who found it impossi-
BILE to get any chemical reaction from it.
His opinion is that a new mineral has boon

have been some remarkable cures in the

One popularity of this water ia that it
