Geo. III. Heafford, general passenger
and ticket agent OF the Milwaukee road,
announces in q circular dated the 21st,
that nearly all sleeping coaches are now
in the service and fully occupied every
day. Day coaches will soon be all that
can be supplied visitors to the worlds
fair, and t o secure a sleeper now, it
should be engaged for several days IN
advance. He g all that can TO 60 TO
the fair at once, as it will soon be impos-
sible to furnish comfortable accommoda-
tions either on trains or at the worlds
fair. The rush to the fair is on.
THE DAILY LEADER reporter today
accompanied Prof. Titus in his grand
rounds OF the public school departments
and witnessed the promotions made
from grade to grade at .the end OF the
school year. It was an interesting
sight. The little people, and the big
ones too, were all agog, and much inter-
est conferred in the promotions. Start
ing at the eighth grade or grammar de-
partment where Mrs. Tolles presides we
saw q scholars called out and receive
their certificates OF graduation into the
high school department. These will
constitute the first class to hereafter
graduate from the regular high school
course which will take them just four
years from this time. They were bright
looking boys and girls and il they stay
by their studies until commencement
day will be an honor to their parents,
the school and the city. The professor
addressed some very timely and pointed
suggestions to the promoted scholars,
and so it was in each succeeding room,
there being from Is to 80 promotions in
each department. Examinations have
evidently been thorough and close as
some were promoted with clear records
and others c~onditionaliy with small
shortcomings to bring up. ltwss great
day for the little folks. Eagerness and
anxiety was depicted upon their counte-
nances and a happy smile Of triumph on
many q face. We hardly knew our own
emotions In the event until we reached
the first year Iads in Miss Fuller's room,
when the remembrance of a fiaxen haired
little fellow who would have been in this
group, but is not, brought something in
to our throat and eye that was very
troublesome. We envied the happy
parents who have children at school, in
voked a silent benedictlon upon the pri-
mary teacher whoever and wherever she
may be, and resolved eternal warfare
against whoever would ruthlestly at
tempt to pull down our public school
system.

wood, a town of 200 inhabitants on
the Duluth South Shore and At
lanta railway, twenty-five miles

their lives. They need money,
provisions and clothing. Duluth
and South Shore sent special
train to bring the homeless to
Erwin for shelter and food.
The flames crept In from the burn
ing forests, and everything was so
dry that before the people realized
their danger, the town was in
flames, and it was a scramble
among the terrified people to save
themselves. The loss is estimated
at $4,000.

was totally destroyed Sunday
night. 1t is reported that the wife
