Mr.. olney for Secretary of State.

To-day's Boston journal is authority
for the statement that Attorney General
Olney has been offered the portfolio of
the State Department by President Cleve-
land. AS Mr. Olney's opinions on the
foreign policy of the Administration,
have at all times, so it is announced, been
thoroughly in accord with those of the
President, there seems to be no prospect
that strong and aggressive foreign pol
icy will replace the weak and 'vacilllat-
ing policy that has so disgraced the Ad-
ministratioD.

The state oratorical contest be-

held at Vermilion May IL. is arousing
great enthusiasm among the rival
schools. This years contest viii be
a peculiarly exciting one, because it
viii in all probability decide who
shall retain the famous chaledony slab.
The slab, which was given with the
understanding that the college win
ming il three times should keep it,
has been contested for six times.
Yankton has had it twice, Redfeld
once, Mitchell twice and Sioux Falls
once. Thus it will be seen that If
either Mitchell or Yankton wins this
year the end is reached in the strag-
gle. Mitchell is to be represented
ky Ethan Coulton. Yankton's man
is A. b. RowelI. Sioux Falls hes
selected a clergyman Of mature age
as her representative. His Grafton is
on Oliver Cromwell. The Sioux Falls
man carried of the EJnors last year,
but it was afterward charged that he
was guilty Of plagiarism, which
charge has never been satisfactorily
disproyed. X. Is. Hall viii speak
for Redfeld college. The Brook

its hopes upon the success of a young

made public, while the state uniyer-

saw f1uCn SlTup.
The sight of a tank car for oil is a
sight so common that no attention what
ever would be drawn to it, but o tank
car for molasses attracted widespread
comment a few days ago as it moved
over the tracks of the Pennsylvania rail
road.
These car carry about 5000 gallons,
which are equivalent TO 60, 900 pounds.
They are loaded through a dome in the
top and emptied by means of an outlet
in the bottom. There is q coil of steam
pipe inside the tank for the purpose Of
heating the molasses, which makes it
III freely and enables the car 10 be
emptied in from 10 to Is minutes.
Under the old system Of shipping mo-
lasses in barrels, holding from 500 TO
600 pounds, nearly so pounds was lost
from each package, being absorbed by
the barrel slaves. Losses by defective
cooperage, which were also very heavy,
are avoided too. philadelphia Record.

INTERESTING EVENT..
Recent launch of a steamer-Anecdote In
That Connection.

Recent Launch of a steamer-Anecdote In
That Connection.
The launch Of an oil steamship at the
Elizabeth IN. ID yards recently is an
interesting event because every launch,
however modest, is an earnest of the
restoration Of an American marine.
A trifling anecdote may be here in
point. A person who had written an ar
ticle on this subject used the expression
in substance that Americans might yet
come TO read Of the launch of an ocean
steamship as a daily occurrence. The
sentence appeared edited with the word
''almost" inserted, TO read almost a
daily occurrence"
He learned that the editors ideas of
the worlds shipbuilding We're upon a
scale such hat the notion of a daily
launch seemed 70 him exaggerated and
preposterous. Asked how many ocean
steamships Great Britain builds yearly,
the editor confessed he had no idea.
He was surprised to learn that the
number exceeded 500, or, in other words,
that ten were launched every week of
the year. The illustration is a neat one
Of the almost total loss among the Amer
lean people, since they abandoned the
sea TO devote themselves exclusively to
railroad construction, of sense of what
commerce and navigation in this age
Of the world really mean

IN TIME OF FIRE.
A New RespiratOr That VIII Prevent Fire
men From Being sufYocated.


A breathing apparatus has been in
vented which is especially applicable 20
fremen who go into burning buildings
where the smoke is dense and poisonous
fumes are thick.
This apparatus was recently exhibited
before the chief OF the fire department
Of New York, when the experiment oon
sisted of filling a room with smoke pro-
duced from a fire fed with shavings, tar,
sulphur and cayenne pepper. When these
things had been burned, the O was
filed with black smoke, which rendered
it absolutely untenantable.
The inventor attached the respirator
TO his back, and taking the end Of the
breathing tube in his mouth entered the
room With an assistant who was like
wise equipped They remained in the
room a quarter of an hour and said when
they came out that they could have staid
In longer if desired.
At the conclusion Of this experiment
the filtering material inserted in the res
pirator for the purpose Of clearing the
air before it is breathed into the lungs
was taken out. This material included
some cotton, and il was found to be
blackened by the impurities extracted
from the air.
The respirator consists Of three small
cylinders, the central one containing
glycerin. The air is first drawn through
layers Of cotton wadding, some dry and
some moist with glycerin, and between
these are layers Of boneblack, or ami
NAL charcoal
The two outside cylinders are filed
with these substances, and after the air
has been drawn I'D through them by the
breathing force of the lungs it passes
through the glycerin for a final wash
ing. By this time it has not only been
cleared Of smoke and other impurities,
but il has also been cooled and is in fit
condition 10 be breathed into the lungs.

To the Honorable School Board of
Webster Independent School Dis
triet. Number 10l.
Gentlemen
As Clerk Of your Board, ! beg
leave 70 submit to you the following
report:
First, as to the Educational con-
dition Of the school corporation, it
affords me great pleasure to report
to you that the school Of this district
is in a highly hourishing condition.
The present corps Of teachers has
proven to be both competent and
painstaking: each and all Of them
have shown a Willingness to take
any amount Of trouble and perform
any amount of work in order t o OBJ
tain the best possible results.
BY enlarging the schoolhouse,
it has been made possible to accom-
modate a large number of nonresi-
dent pupils teachers who
are preparing for work in this and
adjoining counties, The tuition
paid by these nonresident pupils has
amounted to nearly $500 and judg-
ing from the popularity which our
school has attained in adjoining
counties, it is safe to predict that
the amount will be greatly increased
the coming year.
While the facilities Of the school
have been nearly doubled during
the past year, the cost of running it
will be less than $3.50 more than it
was last year. and If the amount re-
ceived as tuition is subtracted from
the cost Of carrying on the school, it
has cost less to run the school for the
present year than it did the year
previous. this, Notwithstanding the
fact that an additional teacher has
been employed and that a larger
building has been cared for and
heated.
have carefully examined and
compared the cost of running the
school for the present year and for
last year and beg leave 10 submit
the following:
