Duped by One of Their Race.
DENVER, Aug. 13.-Many colored citi-
zens of this city are anxiously looking
for Charles P. Grove, alias "Blue Dick"
alias the four-time millionaire, one of
their own race. Grove while here
posed as President of the Montana Illi-
nois Mining and Milling Company and.
armed with plats, plans and deeds, sue
ceeded in selling number of town lots
and mining claims in and about Grove
City, supposed to be not far from Butte.
Grove is said to have started on his
career by selling shares in the Gold Leaf
Mining Company, greatly to his own
profit, but not TO the profit of the com
pany. Then he made tour of Eastern
and Southern cities, and by wearing fine
clothes, talking smoothly, worked upon
the credulity of the colored people. His
most profitable fields were Lexington,
Ky, and Chicago. At Lexington he won
the affections of the daughter of wealthy
colored man. The father of the bride,
learning of Groves true character. wrote
his daughter telling her to come home,
which she did. Grove tried to operate IN
Washington. but was prevented from do
ing great damage by threats ofexposure
Montana people who knew about his pre-
tentions. 1t is said Grove does not pos
sess patent of any land claimed by him.
A number of colored people have gone
to Grove City from Eastern and Southern
cities, only to find that they had pur-
chased worthless pieces of paper, and
some of them suffered great deprivation.

CHEYENNE, Aug. ia most frightful
accident, resulting in the death of four
men and the serious injury of two
others, occurred at the McShane camp,
in Granite Canon, on Tongue River,
thirty-five miles northwest of Sheridan.
The accident happened last Friday, but
the news was not brought to the city
until after the inquest had been held and
the bodies of the unfortunate men pre-
pared for burial. The dead are: r. P.
Gallagher. n. F. Watts, William Angovol
and John Hendrickson.
A large force of men were at work on
the Tongue River getting out ties for the
mill, and the men are building an extern
sion to Montana. A fiae is being con-
structed in a bend in the river. A blast
of 300 pounds of giant powder was put
i'll, and after the smoke had cleared away
a number of workmen were engaged in
removing the rock and dirt that had been
loosened by the explosion. Without a
moments notice huge pile of rock fell
from the overhanging cliff, burying the
four men beneath its weight.

Symptoms for the worse have recently
developed rapidly in the case of w. J..
Seaman, the popular young Irish actor,
who. for the past three years, has been
an inmate of Bloomingdale, suffering
from paresis. He has now become sub
ject to frequent fits of violence, and has
to be watched continually for fear that he
will harm himself or others. 1t is not
thought that Scanlan can possibly sur
vive more than few weeks, or months,
at the longest. Maggie Jordan, his faith
ful wife. spends more time than ever at
the asylum. and does all that she can to
make the closing days of Scanlan's life
pleasant for him.

Advance Reporter.

j. j. Kendlen: I think the issue
ing Of bonds the best possible way to
raise funds for the new court house
II have always been in favor OF It.
They draw low rate Of interest con-
sidering the condition Of the bonds;
they can be paid at any time, which
is really better than 4per. cent bonds
running say Is or 20 years. When
the county has a few hundred dollars
to spare, the amount can be applied
on the principal, thus reducing the
interest.
TX
Mayor Shell: BY the city papers l
see there is considerable dissatis
faction growing out Of the way the
management handled the crowd at the
Mckinley meeting. I do not think,
as some charge, that Mr.. Goodnow
acted unfairly in. the distribution Of
tickets, but do think that the build
ing should have been opened and al
lowed those who held tickets to have
gotten into the hall comfortably. II

The total enrolment for the month
was 448, against 1856 for the cores
ponding month Of 1898. The banner
for punctuality goes to the fifth grade,
Miss Humiston teacher. The best
percentage of attendance occurred in
the third grade, Miss Kennedy
teacher.
The following change in the mat
ter of tuition will be of interest to
many Of our pupils. No pupils
have been required to pay tuition
when regularly enrolled in the HIGH
SCHOOL. To become regularly en-
rolled they must pass the State Elk
aminations in Geography, Arithme-
tic, English Grammar and United
States History. The tuition for non
resident scholars in the lower grades
is $1.5O per month. The Board OF
Education has authorized the follow
ing plan, to date from February l,
1894: When non-residents have
passed two of the aforementioned
four State Examinations, tuition
shall be charged them at the rate OF
$1.OO per month; when non-residents
have passed three of the four State
Examinations, tuition shall be charg-
ed at the rate of SOC per month; as
before, tuition for the term is due at
the opening of that term.
Last Monday the last term of the
present school year began. It is ten
weeks long and will bring the year
to an end about June s. The closing
exercises for the schools will vary but
slightly from the practice of previous
years.
The report of the State Examina-
tons was received during the Easter
vacation. The number of certificates
was 173-a much larger number than
for the corresponding term of other
years, and an excellent showing for
the size of our schools.
The Second Annual Visitors Day
occurred March %. The number of
visitors was much larger than last
year, and the expressions Of approval
that we have heard have been very
pleasing. While it is honestly in
tended that the work presented on
these occasions shall b. the same as
that carried on daily in our schools,
still it is unavoidable that there
should be some variations. For this
reason, if not because of, your in
terest in the progress Of your chill
dren, you should not depend on these
special visitors days, but should
come often, when not expected, with
out a special invitation. You will be
better prepared to criticise us, to help
us, to assist your children, and you
will very materially encourage both
teachers and pupils to more Jealous

The school board recently held
meeting and reelected Prof. E. L.
Porter for another year. In view OF
the fact that our schools are making
such rapid strides forward this was q
wise thing to do. Prof. Porter is I'M
firing in his efforts to make the Wor,
Ellington schools equal to any in the
state, not excepting the larger cities,
and he is succeeding admirably. As
an educator he has no superior in the
state, and the ADVANCE congratulates
the patrons upon the fact that he is
to be with us another year, at least.
