Drums with Which the Natives Are Able
to Communicate Long Distances.
Captain Five, u Belgian explorer, says
that the people of the Eongo have n curl
Gus and interesting method of tclephoning.
For long time he refused to believe that
the natives really had the power to com
mlnicatc with others ut u distance, though
articles had been sent to him in answer to
such communications At length, one
day, journcying on the river by pirogue,
and being about 90 miles from Basoko he
determined, instead of stopping, to press
OH to the village. Then one of his people
offered to telephone TO the village that the
party would reach the place toward even

ed on arrival.

beat it after Il peculiar fashion and pres.

time and TRANQUILITY returned to his pad

ing ashore, and supper WAS being made

lieutenant, inquired eagerly how he had
learned of the approach of the expedition.
The lieutenant replied that the news had
been brought some hours before by q ne.

proaching by way of the river and would
need supper.
The drum used by tho natives for this
purpose is n small but noisy affair of wood.
1t is constantly employed in communicate
ing short distances, in order to save time
and trouble. In this instance there had
evidently been relays of drummers along
tho whole 80 miles from the point where
the original signal was given TO near Ba.

drums, to signal messages of considerable
length. This particular instance is re

It is desired that all our schools in
this county join, wherever possible,
with the G. A. R.::May 30 in the ma
mortal exercises. Where schools are
so isolated that pupils cannot we'll at
tend then such exercises as shall be
deemed appropriate are earnestly
recommended. The children ought
to know something of the origin of
Memorial day exercises. To simply
dismiss school the day preceding and
announce there will be no school to-
morrow, is out of harmony and is un-
patriotic and un-American. The day
has purpose. Let us teach it's

FUN WITH THE BIKE.
Herb Manchester Has Some Fun
At Our Expense.

Lake Benton News: It is generally
supposed that an editors path leads
forward and upward, if perchance he
has patches on his knees it still shows
that his course has been upward anc
not downward. But it is feared that
Julius Schmahl of tho REDWOOD Ga
zErTE now has patches on those por.
tons of both his anatomy and gar.
ments which indicate his course has
been downward as we'll as upward
For recently he attempted to navi.
gate long and steep hill called
Agency hill, and view the landscape
from the hurricane deck of bicycle
Now a bike is one of those things
which believes in playing practical
jokes on the rider, so when Julius
stepped on board, pulled in the gang
plank and assembled to the hurricane
deck, the result was far different
from the innocent pastime of child
rem navigating a frog-pond on slab.
The machine seemed to have on sew
eral gauges of water all converted
into steam and the throttle valve
pulled wide open. Together they
went down the long hill at lightning
speed.
They wired in and they wired back,
And you couldn't tell, when on the track,
Whether they were:going south or coming
back
At one point on:the journey Julius
came in close proximity to church,
and the spectacle of an editor going
to the house of God, and in hurry,
too, cause wonderment, and he was
asked if he was going to join church;
to which he replied, as the wheel gave
alurch and almost landed him against
the building, mo, he simply leaned
that way" and in a minute he was
out Of sight. Well. the editor finally
reached the bottom of the hill a
sadder but wiser youth. 1t was found
upon investigation that the wheel and
the rider had changed places, the
former on top, prancing around on
the PROSTATE form of the quill driver,
apparently asking for another victim;
while poor Julius was minus hat,
coat, pants, etc. In fact he seemed all
covered with wounds, scars and
dirt. Schmahl no longer thinks it a
small thing to ride bike, especially
if it is headed down hill.

SOUTHERN CONVOCATION.
The Episcopal Preachers Make an
Impression Here.

The assembling of the Southern
Convocation of the diocese of Mime.
sofa in our town, last week, was mat.
ter of much interest and enjoyment tc
our towns-people. The various meet.
ings were we'll attended, and much
good could not fail to be derived from
the speeches, papers, discussions and
sermons.
The number of clergy was not sc
large as had been expected, but it hap.
pens that all the professors of the
school at Faribault are members oil
this Convocation, and just at this time
with the midsummer examinations at
Seabury, Shattuck and. St. Mary's
coming on, these clergymen found it
impossible to leave their duties. 9th
ers also we're compelled to deny them
selves the pleasure of being present.
As it was. there were twelve clergy in
all, this however is not half the Con-
vocation. The Rev. Mr.. Sinclair also
added to the interest in some of the
discussions, and was present at all the
meetings for the public.
The first clergyman to arrive was
the Rev. E. M. Weddell from Wells.
He is secretary of the Convocation
and young man of great promise.
By his quiet, unassuming manner and
other good qualities, he made very
favorable impression on our people.
The last.to arrive was the Bishop, &C.
companied by Mr.. McGonigle. The
Bishop is too we'll known to need any
comment, but Mr.. McGonigle is
new conner, and word or two, as to
who he is, may not be out of place.
Until about year ago he was cler-
yyman in Shropshire, England. He
