The School Bond Election.

By order of the Mayor, Thursday,
August 13, has been set as the day on
which an election shall be held for the
voting of s2l, 600 in bonds for school
house purposes. The bonds are to run
twenty years and bear 2 per cent. in
terest. Tho proceeds of the bends are
to be used in the purchasing of three
eligible sites, one in each ward, and
the building of three stone school
houses, one in each ward. The pur-
pose for which these bonds are-to- be
voted is comtnendable one and should
be carefully considered by all voters in
the Hot-SMinga Ipdepenaent-School
district. .File necessity for ..Aetter and
moro convenient school facilities is
apparent to every one who knows
anything about our school matters.
The school population now reaches
over 800, nearly equally divided IN the
three wards, and is fast increasing.
Some provision must necessarily be
made to accommodate these children.
1t seems more expcdient, at present,
to have school house in each ward.
than to have a single central School
building. Every citizen Is, or should
be interested in the matter of schools
and no doubt this order for an olectior
by the mayor will bring the matter
prominently before the people. The
amount of the bonds is not excessive
ana should be no objection. The inn
petus that will be given to the build
ing operations now going on in the
city by the erection Of these buildings,
the increased value in real estate that
is sure 10 follow and the inducements
that we will be able to offer prospec-
tive settlers are all good reasons for
voting for the bonds. With such an
array of school facilities our city will
take first place among the cities of the
Black Hills in educational matters and
add another incentive to visitors to
make this their permanent residence

The French Tariff.

The French Chamber of Deputies
has passed Mckinley bill by the en-
rhatic majority Of 3S7 to 11O. The
free traders did their best to defeat
the measure; England threatened re-
tallatlon. not only in the newspapers,
hut in Parliament. and the New York
Evening Post threw its weighty edi-
torials, like the sword of Brennus, in
to the scale of free trade. But all in
VAIN. The French thought they un-
derstood French interests better than
did the English or the Anglo.New
York Evening Post. They adopted a
tariff which, in the opinion of English
manufacturers, is largely prohibltory
Of foreign trade.
And yet no one will pretend that the
Industries of France are in their in
fancy. They are venerable, even as
compared with British manufactures,
and, if ever established, they are es-
tablished now. But the French, who
are among the shrewdest people on
earth, recognize that protection is not
a matter only OF fostering industries
to the point of vigorous existence, but
that 1T is needed also to keep them
profitable. They recognize that, with
a great nation, no market can be more
important than its own, and that pro.
lection stimulates and strengthens a
nation in reaching out for the markets
Of the world.

electrical age. New inventions are
being recorded daily. The latest
step in advance is in the form of an
improvement upon the present
method of electric lighting. Some
five or six years ago young Aus
tro- Hungarian, Mr.. Nikola Tesla,
came to this country and soon at
tracted attention to his expert
ments with alternating currents as
a motive power. At the recent
meeting of the electricians in New
York, Mr.. Tesla gave an account
Of an invention by which the pres
ent system of electric lighting is
likely to be superseded. The or
dinary alternating currents now in
use alternate from 100 to 200 times
a second. Mr.. Teslashas devised
machine which gives a current
with over 100000 vibrations a
second. By usinug a current with
very large number of vibrations,
Mr.. Tesla does away with the me-
cessity of wires connecting with
electric lights, and can produce a
lamp that may be carried about.
To light room, Mr.. Tesla brings
wires from the power house into
connection with two sheets of
metal, one on each side of the room.
Exhausted glass tubes brought
into the room will glow brightly by
induction. By the employment of
a metallic wall paper, the tubes
may be moved about the room, and
will still give forth light.-Min-

"The fight will not be allowed to take
place in Ramsey county, and further

COLUMBUS, O.. July s5.-The jury at
p. IN. gave notice to the throng eager
ly waiting about the court house that
no verdict would be reached during the
night. That information, however,
had no effect upon dispensing the multi
tude which hung around the doors until
the last light was ont at -. m. All
then went home sadly disappointed,
but assured that nothing would tran
spire during the night which they could
not get. The day had been long aud
very tedious one for the jury. Impa-
tience took high pitch toward night
and many side threats could DO heard as
to what would be done with the jury
in case of a disagreement. The general
belief now is thst eleven stand for the
popular verdict, while one hangs for
second degree. A quiet scheme was
worked by the reporters by Which the
jury was watched from the floor below.
The transon over their door served AZ
an excellent mirror, and nearly every
motion could be seen. Large crowds
congregated around the Jail aud in the
alley at the rear of the court house in
hopes OF catching some glimpse of the
jury, but the windows had been care
fully blinded and nothing could be seen.
One Of Bill Elliott's particular friends
was approached for an opinion as to the
result. He did not say much, but bore
an air OF perfect confidence that the ac-
cused would not sutfer. Such is the
prevailing feeling among the accused's
supporters. though they give little out
ward manifestations, for SERIOUS trou-
bio might result. As excitement now
stands. it will not fare we'll with the
man who dares hang the jury.

The greatest game Of base ball on
record was played at Devils Lake, N.
d., Sunday July 19. Neither team
got man across the home plate in
twenty-five innings. The game lasted
four hours, when it was called to en-
able the clubs to catch the train for
the east. Eleven double plays were
made, and during the game twenty
five men were left on bases. The
longest game ever played previous to
the one above was played at Boston,
Mass, May II, 1877, between the Har-
ward and Manchester club, which was
twenty-four innings, score nothing to
nothing, game called on account of
darkness. The next longest one was
at Tacoma, between the club of that
city and one of Seattle which was
twenty-one innings. and won by
a score of five to six. Thus it will he
seen that the Fargo and Grand Forks
teams break the worlds record for
the longest game eyer played without
score being made by either club.

between 5000, 900 and s750,0OO. It is be-
ieyed to be covered by insurance. The
fire was a fierce one. The building ex-
tended about 200 feet on Washington

Twelfth street. It was filled with in
fammable material and when the flames
got good headway but little effort was
made to check them, the fremen direct

thrown out Of employment by the con-
Aagration.
