ABSOLUTELY PURE
ABSOLUTELY PURE

The HERALD hopes the county
commissioners will reject the petit
ton now before them for division
of school district No. II. To divi-
de the district as proposed, and at
this time, would be little less than
a calamity to Bonner's Ferry, and
our educational interests. A spec
ial tax has been levied in this dis
trict for the purposes of paying off
Indebtedness against the district,
making necessary improvements on
school building and un1s, and
sustaining school nine months in
the year, which tax is expected to
yield a revenue of $17S5, of which
$500 at least will come from the
railroad company. If the district
is divided as at present proposed,
about $3.50 will be lost to the
school fund-neither the new nor
the old district will get it. If dis
trict No. 1 is held intact until the
present tax is collected for the dis
trict, then it will not work any
serious hardship if the district is
divided. But for the present, it is
to be hoped that the commissioners
will reject the petition. We do not
blame the people who have petit
toned for a new district for wait
ing a school, if they can get enough
children in the large area they
propose to cut off, so located that
they could attend the school, but
even then we think that a spirit OF
fairness would dictate that they
ought to give the Bonnel's Ferry
school a chance to get on its fee
before they slash the district up
A second consideration of the mat
ter, we are satisfied, will Undue,
them to put off division till mex
spring.

SPANISH CRUISER SUNK
Second Warship Lost by Spain in Cuban
Waters.

second Warsh1p Lost by Spain In Cuban
Waters.
HAVANA, Oct. 3.-Following close
upon the loss of the Spanish cruiser
Btrcastegui. which was sunk in col
llsion with the Spanish merchant
steamer Mortera off Mora castle, at
the entrance of this harbor, at mid
night on September lS, comes the
news of the wreck and probable total
loss Of the Spanish warship Cristobal
Colon. a second-class cruiser Of about
1.2OO tons displacement and 1900 horse
power.
The Cristobal Colon formed a part of
the fleet of Spanish warships detailed
to watch he coast of Cuba in order to
prevent the landing of filibusterine
expeditions from the United States
and elsewhere
The disaster occurred in storm off
Colorado point in the Gulf of Quad
lana, south of the town of Mantua in
the province of Pinar Del Rio, near
which territory Havana is situated.
Every thing possible seems to have
been done to save the cruiser, but all
efforts in that direction were useless,
and she was finally abandoned, help
less wreck, pounding herself slowly to
pieces on the Colorado reef
Some OF the crew swan ashore,
others reached land by means of pieces
of wreckage, and in the boats, but all
the crew, officers and men, were saved
by one M ans Or the other.
OF course the friends OF the insur-
gents are circulating the usual sensa-
tional stories regarding this latest dis
aster to the Span ards, claiming that
the cruiser was sunk by torpedo ex-
ploded by insurgents. In official Cir
cles, however, this report is classed as
being nothing more than an inven-
tion of the rebels .
