at Perryville Demolished.
DANv1LLE, KY, Feb. 18.-Not since
the battle that made the place famous
twenty-eight years ago has there been
such excitement in the town of Perry
vile. nine miles from here, as there was
at an early hour Sunday morning, when
the citizens were startled from their
slumbers by report that shook the vii
lage from center to circumference
When those rushing from their homes
reached the scene of the explosion it was
discovered that dastardly attempt had
been made to blow up the store of W. II.
Parks, a prominent citizen and one of
the town trustees. All of the front Of
the large dry goods store was demol-
ished. The windows in the neighbor-
hood were shattered, and large chin
ney some distance away tipped over by
the explosion, the report of which was
heard three miles in the country. That
it was the result of malicious work is
undoubted, as there were no explosives
in the store, and the agent is thought to
have been dynamite. A clew in the pos
session of the officers may lead to the
identification of the perpetrators of the
deed.

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Jan. 30.-For
several days past All agent of The United
States treasury department has been in
the city for the purpose of investigating
a reported smuggling into the United
States from Port Arthur, Ont. of large
numbers Of Cinnamon. Government
officials have for some time been keeping
an eye on certain owners of small vessels
resident here and at Duluth, but not un
til the close of navigation has any action
been taken. Since the beginning of win
ter, however, several enterprising individ-
uals have gone into the business of over
land transportation quite extensively. 1t
seems the celestials are brought to Cana
dian ports, from whence they make their
way to Port Arthur. Here they are pro-
vided with transportation into the United
States in sleighs and wagons. in most
eases being brought a distance of about
800 miles to Two Harbors, MINI, at
which point the Duluth & Iron Range
railroad is taken. and their ultimate des-
tination is reached without nolestation.
A prominent vessel owner of this city is
one Of the suspected parties toward
whom suspicion is directed. Arrests will
probably be made within a day or two.
Government agents have a dozen contra
band Cinnamon that are being held north
of here, near Port Arthur, until every
thing is ready for arrests.

THE FIRE BELL
The Home of Frank Fullerton Burned

The Home of Frank Fullerton Burned
AT s o'clock last evening the fire
bell rang out sharply on the frosty air
the announcement of q fire corner First
avenue north and Second street. 1t was
in the dwelling occupied by Frank Full
erton, who had not long before built up a
good fire and left for his office In the La
peyre block, Mrs. Fullerton not being in
the city. How the fire originated is not
known. Mr.. Fullerton thinks it was
from some kiEdling wood he left by the
stove, but other who first gave the alarm
contend 1t was from q defective lue, be-
cause the fire was seen first to break out
around the chimney. Most of the furni-
but the kitchen and contents are t. total loss
as is also the building, which was COM
pletely Quilted by the flames. The loss is
estimated at S'700, which is covered by
insurance,
The need of horses attached to the
hose carts in this kind of weather was
painfully evident last night. 1t was any
thing but a pleasant duty for the firemen
to lug their heavy apparatus through
snow drifts in the face of a biting cold
wind to the scene of the fire. They were
on hand as promptly as could be expec-
ted, but yet the delay was sufficient to
give ii fire such a start that it would take
hard work to get it under control.

Social Happenings Yesterday-"Dove
Parties" Bee ming Popular in
Great Falls.

So much has been said relative to the
crowded condition of our schools that II
tribune representative called at the
school house the other day for the pur-
wose of looking into the matter.
Supt. banks, in order to show the re-
porter through the building, was obliged
to excuse a class of forty pupils and as
sign them work before leaving the room.
lie informed us that he conducts eight
recitations during the day, of classes
ranging from twenty-five to forty pupils,
besides teaching writing and singing,
thereby giving his entire time to class
work, which should be given to super
vision.
Every room was visited and found to
contain from fifty to eighty pupils. How
good, satisfactory work can be done under
such adverse conditions is strange-it GER
tainly can not be of the best. None OF
the teachers are satisfied and claim that
they can do neither the pupils nor them
selves justice, yet the superintendent
says that all are doing the best they can.
Seeing is believing, and we think that
every patron should make it his duty to
visit the school and see for himself. The
question of bonding the district for the
purpose of building a new school house,
will be brought before the people in a
few weeks. If any are opposed to the
measure, let them take the time to inves-
tigate the needs, by a visit to the school.
Two teachers are sadly needed at once,
one for a new room which should be
| opened on the south side, and one in the
high school room to relieve Mr.. banks.
The distance, which many of the little
folks, living in the extreme south side
come, is far too great, and during the Sc
we're weather it will be impossible for
them to attend school. A room should
| be opened there for first and second
| grade pupils, which Would greatly re-
Iieve the teachers in the Whittier build
| ing, and increase the percentage of atten-
dance.
Mr.. banks also informed the reporter
that quite u number had been denied adj
| mission on account of lack of As
spring opens many families may be ex-
pected here from the east, west, north
and south. What is to be done with the
children? Some way should be provided
at once. The school trustees should see
to this matter without delay. Great
Falls has too much at stake to allow such
a state O., affairs. 1--WE must educate
has been the motto Of the world fol
ages; yet to do it WI must have school
houses and school teachers.

The Chaplin Nine.

IRON MOUNTAIN, Mich, Jan. 3n.-All
openings in the Chaplin NINE have been
closed in hope that the fire may be
smothered. Four of the imprisoned
miners escaped through the timber shaft,
but Thomas Edwards and Jerry Bennett
were suffocated. Their bodies were
brought to the surface. 1t is thought the
fire will not spread, as the mine is a wet
one and the timbers are thoroughly sat
urated. 1t Is supposed the fire caught in
the engine room, which was numbered
with two sets of timbers and contained
the tool box, waste, oil and other cora
bustlble material. The damage, aside
from the stoppage of the works, will un'
doubleday be confined to this room.
