dispoSit ION of $500, 600 of town bonds, as re-
qu rel by law. II is rumored that large
portion of the bonds, II not all, have been
hypothecated, and that there is an apparent
shortage In Mckane's account of S200. 100.
McKanc's friends say the the apparent short

tp his lack of business methods In conducting
the afTuirs Of the town.

The school Tax

Ono of the main subjects to be discussed by
"the committee of sl' interested in the
schools Of the state at tho meeting 1t Boul-
der, March %, 30 aud 80 will be State Super
intcndent Murray's scheme Of equalization.
Mr.. Murray favors a state tax Of six mills
which he says would give nine or ten months
schooling In every district, whereas under tho
present system some districts get only three
or four months school and the teachers spend
the balance of the year sin washing dishes or
some other occupation"

For the week ending March there were
York, Philadelphia and Boston b6 1902 tons Of
2.2i0 pounds each, which was an increase Of
l3,003 tons over the corresponding week of
last year. The rushing forward Of the Cuba

that the crop ia excessively large and must

1t may be asserted that never since its or

penetrated the inner circle Of Bohemian
life in Paris, Munich or Warsaw. The
painting is after tn . French school and
is en- grisaille. The peculiar grey tone
which ir the predominating feature of
the work, throws into bold relief the
five female figures iu the foreground.
Its greatest beauty, however, lies in the
wonderful values against the sky, and.
while the technique is remarkably
clever. the dreamy, poeticsl tone, as we'll
as the generously broad treatment of
color, makes it delight to the eye.
The painting is valued at $l2,0 900.

Nothing else but the time honore1 ex-

dreds of electric lights glttered and
cleaned on the bright array of color.
and O myriad sparkles were reflected
back from the jewels in the long lines of
show cases in the French, Italian, Rus
sian and Turkish displays.
A large crowd, almost a jam" of
people ceaselessly paraded through the
long aisles separating the booths, or
seated in the galleries above gazed
down to take in one sweeping glance the
bewildering scene below.
The little midway, which is off to the
lett of the main hall, WAS crowded all
evening. It's attractions are not many,
and those which are now there are far
from complete as yet. but they form u
part OF the entertainment, and the via
