Teachers for Next Year.


While the school board has not
formally declared the selection of
any teacher for the next school year
in this city, and members Of that
body individually are reticent as to
the matter, tits generally believed
and expected that most of the old
corps will be retained, with probably
few changes of position. Mr.. Jolly's
advertising that he will conduct here
a summer school of five weeks is re-
garded as evidence that he is conf
dent Of re-engagement, else, it is
reasonable argued, he would be look
ing for employment otherwheres.
Mr.. Donnelly desires promotion to
the first assistant principalship. If
his application be granted it is
thought Mr.. Hammil will be offered
the preparatory department. Miss
Selena Stephens is meeting some
opposition to re-appointment as sec
ond assistant to the principal. Miss
Lydia Stevens, it is said, has been
offered higher wages to take posi-
tion in another city, and wants $40
per month if she remains here. There
is suggestion that the grammar de-
partment might be improved by SUBJ
stituting some other for Miss Cum
mings, and speculation as to her sue
cessor is heard. Some think that
Miss Schaumberg may be advanced.
But all this is rumor, and may be
wholly wrong. We give it as gossip,
gathered in course of conversation
with various people, not members of
the board or teachers, who only say
In response to questions that no en-
gagements have yet been made.
THE daughter Of Mr.J. +. LaMalle,
Miss Anne, report Of whose injury at
Sinsinawa Mounds School reached

ing every possible care at the insti-
tuition. The accident happened two
weeks ago last Sunday. BY the fall
upon stone step at the entrance to
the school, the chords CT her right
limb. near the knee, were severed.
The same limb having been injured
before, makes the case serious. Mr..
LaMalIe and Willie are with her
this week. She will be brought

moved.

A Fragmentary Storm.


While Mineral Point enjoyed a re-

came down gently, with no rush but
a moderate wind and no severe light
ming, other places in tho vicinity had
different experiences. Only 4 miles
east of us, in the Charles Dunn neig-
borhood, the rain came as from a
waterspout, sweeping fences in tho
ravines before it. -Four miles still
further east there was not enough
rain fell to lay the dust, which was
raised in binding clouds by 4 strong
gale OF wind. AT Dodgeville the rain
was very heavy, with fierce
tightening and deafeniug thunder.

The Result Of Short working Hours

An English manufacturer has COM
inundated to a daily paper ar inter-
estlng report of the result of a five
years experience of the eight-hour
rule in his works. He says that at
nrst the wage-cost per ton went up,
then dropped. and is now as low as
II was In 1889, when the t~welve-hour
Jaw was In force. In other words, the
men get as much work done in eight
hours as they used to get done in
WE'VE. This is not attributed to a
e~olhcidental improvement in machin-
cry or the methods Of manufacture.
Inc managers of the work, who have
vohsidered the point, are convinced
,hat, although the men work less
hours, the aggregate efficiency Of their
work Is not diminished. This view Is
supported by the showing of the fac
.ory books, which record greater reg
uIarlty OF attendance, increased appli-
catlon and improved health of the
workmen. Many of them used to be
irregular and drunken, but such cases
are now rare. In the long double
snift at the end Of each week the men
oiten used to be found asleep. Under
the new conditions this does not hap
pen. The men look freshcr and
healthier, and the change i'm them is
markedly shown in the comparatively
niihble and lively gait with which

Special Freight Cars on Electric
Railway.

The freight traffic on electric rail-
ways has led to the construction of
many new forms Of freight cars. On
one line a large quantity of whisky is
handled. A large box car, which also
carries general freight and supplies
for local service. has been made for
carrying TO the station of the steam
railway the barrels of whisky from
large d~istilleries in the district. The
car is % feet long and 10 feet s inches
high from rail TO top of roof. 1t is
also used as a locomotive and hauls
three loaded box cars between the
railway and the disnlleries. The "A
is mounted on a pair of four-wheel
trucks, with a % horsepower motor
on each axle, and weighs about ID
tons empty. In Spokane the electric
cars which haul wheat and -four be-
tween the mills and the railway sta
tlon have displaced the drays formerly
used. The grain cars, which have
been specially built for the service,
are 20 feet long, and the grain COM
partment is - feet long. q feet wide
and . feet & inches high, with a capac-
lty OF 1900 pounds. or 200 bushels Of
wheat. At the freight station the
floor, which is hinged and carries a
steel hopper, is raised. and the car is
loaded with grain from the main line
cars. On reaching the mill the a Is
run over a chute, the gate of the hop
per is opened, and the grain is
dumped. The floor is then let down TO
cover the hopper and the a is loaded
with bags or barrels of -four TO go to
Inc railway station. Whenever the
streets along the line require macad-
amizing the car is used for carrying
and discharging the broken stone. 1t

TeIerraph Experiences.

:, q work on the many phases OF
,rranh life. a sad scene is related.
!, New Orleans operator was slowly
narinp of consumption at the home OF
w. hoyhood in Franklin, Tenn. sum
n,ouing sufficient strength n day,
wv AGAINST the wishes of his devoted
nifo he walked to the telegraph Of
ssmo there and requested Memphis to
l,ace him in connection with New
prleans. Calling Taylor Adams, an
"a chum i'm the office, to the key, the
Onerator requested him TO gather
oronnd him all his old fellow labOrers.
adams complied, and Taylor Brown,
,he operator. opened his key and sent
tho following message: Il am dying
nv inches and my WORKOUT body will
soon be returned to clay. l have come
trom nv sick bed TO say goodbye"
There was a pause of three minutes
uben the key was again used. The
sounder here licked: Taylor Brown
has died in the chair" The hand that
aoshed this, however, was not
browns but that of the regular ope-
rator. A prominent telegraph operator
nj many years experience was asked
what message of the many thousands
that had passed through his hands had
made the most lasting impression on
him. He replied that he should eve
forget a message that vas mailed
some eighteen years ago at Jackson,
Miss. The message was put in at
11.52 a. m, with the Instructions:
.This message must be delivered in
tho hands Of the sheriff Of Wilkinson
county. WOodville, Miss, before
noon" The message was a respite
from the governor of the state on be-
half of a poor wretch then standing
on the gallows awaiting the blow of
the ak that would cut the rope. The
receiving operator. who tells the story,
was in an agony of nervousness, es-
peciaIly as he knew the jail was near
" a mile from the Office. The man.
ager of the Office, however, vas equal
10 the emergency. Mounting a horse
standing In the front Of the Office. he
arrived at the Jail just as the last sig
nal was about to be given, and deliv-
cred the message in time to stay the
proceedings. The unfortunate, whose
life was thus spared, vas e n to the
penitentiary at Jackson, Miss, and af-
Ter serving nine months secured his
liberty, on il being proven that he had
been unjustly imprisoned.
