The following information is from a
special correspondent of THE TRIBUNE:
Dupuyer is very pleasantly located
with plenty of water at her command,
and the valleys well adapted to raising

soon to be built. J. w. Mcknight has
enlarged his merchandise store and now
carries a 10000 stock. Dupuyer offers
a rich opening to some live, active news-
paper man to come in and grow up With
the place. Mr.. Mcknight offers IA con
venient and spacious room free Of rent,
and a goodly number of cash subscribers
are ready to give it their support. Du-
puycr offers free rooms for the county

Two Teacher, Elected Reporter, Are Ac-
cu,cd Of Creating Trouble.
Tuesday nights meeting of tie school
board was very short.
Mr.. Hanks presented a report of his
actions in the sale of the $4,000 bonds,
differing in no essential particular from
the report heretofore published.
Miss Abrams at Tim and G. b. Swan
al West Great Falls were elected teach
ers.
The building committee was ordered
to advertise for bids for repairing school
buildings. IL was estimated that the
cost would be about $500.
\ sidewalk was ordered built in front
Of the Whittier school.
Architect White reported that plans
and specifications were ready for the
high school building and invited the
board to inspect them. President Hanks
said that 1t would be suicidal to adver-
tise for bids and proceed with building
if the bonds could not he sold and he
did NOT think they could be so long as
there was a feeling of discrimination in
the board. Mrs. Ladd denied that there
was and said that the only trouble had
been that the reporters were present and
reported all that was said. The matter
was then dropped and the building com
mittee instructed to examine the plans
and specifications and report at the next
meeting. The board then adjourned.

FIRE BUGS AT WOK *.
Two Central Avenue Buildings Visited by
what Seem to BE %Inccndiary Fires.


About 80 IA. m Monday fire was
discovered in the small frame building
at the corner Of Central avenue and
Fourth street, owned by S. \. Beachlcy
and occupied by j. T.. Woodley's paper
and paint establishment. The flames
had good Roadway but the department
promptly responded and soon had the
fire out. The fire originated in the up
per story, which was u~noccupied, and
was evidently the work of an %inccndiary.
No fire had been in the store for some
Sunday. A door was open so anyone
might have entered. The building is
badly charred up STAIRS. Tho loss to
Woodley is between 800 and 500, which
is covered by insurance with Hanks &
Fullerton and Burghardt & Frary in the
amount Of $500.
Sunday mornings fire in the Chowen
block was also probably of incendlary
origin. 1t was discovered about , a. m.
by an A. ID. II. messenger boy who was
sleeping in the Rocky Mountain Tele-
graph Office and noticed the smoke com
ing through the wall against which he
was reclining. He turned in an alarm
and after a desperate fight the flames
were subdued. The fire originated in Il
corner of the Industrial Printing com
pany's office, where were piled 100000
envelopes and other paper, and was
burning iiercely when discovered.
The entire stock of stationery is a to
tai loss. The leather for binding, bound

county records, which they had the con
tract for furnishing, many of the differ
ent machines, etc, are virtually de-

The loss to this company is about
$500, covered by a total insurance of
$1,000 with Chowen e. Wilcox, Phil Glib
son and Joy & Wadsworth.
The damage to the Rocky Mountain
Telegraph company is of little col Sc.
quence and that to the building will
amount to $1,000.

COME OUT FOR SILVER.
An Earnest Meeting Held Yesterday to
Arrange for Il Mass-Mceting.

Arrange for u Mass-Mceting.
At 4 o'clock Monday a number Of
gentlemen assembled at THE TRIBUNE
office 10 arrange the details for a mass
meeting on the silver question. The
meeting was an informal one and re-
suited in a unanimous decision to hold Il
mass-meeting next Monday evening
in the opera house. A committee con-
sisting of Messrs. Brosnan, Holmes,
Raban, Rohrabacker, and MacKniGht
was appointed TO draw up a call for the
mass-meoting and to secure signatures
to the same among all classes of citizens.
The same committee will solicit sub
scriptions to defray the expenses.
1t was the sense of the silver men who
were present that it is essential for
every community where there is IA
sentiment in favor of bi.metallism
to declare its position in time to add its
voice to the note of alalm that will be
sounded by the great silver convention
that is to meet at Chicago on August /.
The Great Falls meeting will be reported
by the Associated Press, so that the en-
tire country will know how this city
stands concerning a question which all
regard as the most vital which has come
before the people since the war, The
call for the mass meeting will be pub
lished as soon as signatures are obtained.

Double Track.

1t is reported that the c., L. and w.
will make double track between Bridge
port and Martins Ferry. The second
track will be on the east side of the pres
ent one, and trestle work will be built
;tll tile way from Bridgeport for this pur-
pose. The trestle will be the very best
that can be built and will cost between
100000 and $4,000, and probably more.
This track will be the main one and will
be used largely for business, to which the
new management is giving SO much at
tention. The present track will be used
almost entirely for freight traffic. The

business makes this move necessary and
that they are doing it only to keep pace
with increasing business, but the w. and

COUNTY COMMENCEMENT.
The First One Ever Held in Belmont
County.

County.
The first County Commencement evel
occurring in the county was held Satur
day in the Court house Hall, and was il
charge of the County Examiners, OF
whom Profs. Murphy and Duncan were
present. Pupils eligible to receive di
plOma from the county on these Occa
sions, must have passed the test provided
before by the County Board of Examin
ers, and must have taken part in pub
lie performance in the township in which
he has been pupil. Saturday there were
twenty one graduates Mollie Michner,
George Pogue, Roberta C. Barrett, Sarah
Fulton, Howard Dixon, Ora B. Gable
B. B. Mcpherson, J. J. Mcfarland, Jes-
sic King, Clara Shepherd, Maude McFar-
land, Ross Drennen, all OF Richland; Et-
ia Moore, Beatrice Kinsey, Howard Will
kinson, VIM. McMasters, G. c. Weekly,
Charles Hood, Luellen Gregg, David Mes
bit and Maggie Nesbit. Only three of
these, namely, Misses Barrett, Michner
and King, were required to give perform
ances, Saturday, and they repeated the
excellent decIamations which they had
given at Louisville, Thursday.
Hon. c. L. Weems addressed the class,
with a speech brief, pointed and spark
ling with wit. His idea was to caution
the class against mere memorizing, and
he illustrated his point with abundant
reference to the study of grammar, ge-
Ography and history.
Sup't James Duncan, of Bridgeport,
presented the class with diplomas 6g-
uratively at least, for as a matter of fact
the diplomas, though ordered, had not
yet arrived. Graduation, he said. bad been
applied fifteen years ago to the town
schools. 1t had been found to work well,
and the present plan was to apply the
same system to the country schools. He
thought it would not be long until-if
the Boxwell law were allowed to stand
and corrected as experience should show
fit-there would be an annual class of
from 25O to 800 before these county COM
mencements. He therefore commended
the law, but thought that it should be
amended SO as to be made mandatory.
He added the observation that the teach
er's moral standing has been greatly ad-
vanced during the past few years, an OBJ
servation which is undeniably true.
