High School Board Examination

The North Dakota state high school
board gives examinations twice a year to
determine the character of the work
done in the high schools Of the state.
The Bismarck high school which has
adopted a four years course took exam
nations in December, 1895 and Nav.
1896, in all subjects in which they were
prepared with the following results:
In Arithmetic, 25 pupils were ex-
amined, II passed and8 failed:in Gram
mar, 26 passed and 3 failed: in Geoera-
ply, Il passed and l failed: in History.
33 passed and s failed; in Physiology.
ID passed and IA failed: in Algebra.
only 3 were examined and all passed: in
Latin Grammar 6 were examined and
5 passed: in Rhetoric S were examined
and 4 passed: the total number exam
ined in all studies was 1856, of which
number l45 passed.
The class in physiology took the ex-
animation, though not studying a text
book as advanced as the one on which
examinations are based. Had the class
pursued the study in a high school text
book instead of the elementary work
used a larger number would have passed.
The thirteen who did pass are certainly
to be given great credit for doing so.
They were supposed to have done one
half a years work more than they did
do.
There are now 25 pupils who grade as
high school pupils in preliminary stud
les, S are high school pupils with con
ditions in one study, and 4 conditioned
in two studies, and17 doing partial high
school work.
Counting all who are pursuing high
school work, there are 80 pursuing full
courses and l6 pursuing part of the high
school purse making 48 in the high
school as against thirteen at the open
ing of last year.
After the Christmas holidays there
will be three distinct classes all pursu-
ing the full high school course.

The Tax Lew,

n Tax Levy. t.,
The city council met Tuesday night to
make the tax levy for the ensuing year.
The following communication from the
mayor was read, on this subject:
BISMARCK. N. D.. Sept. Is, 1896.
Io the city council of the city of Bismarck,
North Dakota:
GENTLEMEN: In regard to the tax levy
for the coming year, which is enc of tie
most important matters CT which we are
required to take action, | desire to call
your attention to what has been done DUR
ing the administration and what | trust
we will be able to do during the balance OF
the year. Up to the present time we have
not issued a warrant on the general fund,
and consequently nave not made one cent
or Indebtedness against the city. The en-
tire running expenses of the city as well as
all new crossings al the principal crossings
on Main street and all sidewalk repairs
and street work have been paid for out Of
the revenue collected from licenses. If
our present revenue system is continued
we can remain on the same cash basis.
Under this system we not only make no
debt but continually cut down the old out
standing debt in the shape of general
fund interest bearing warrants. Every
cent collected from last year levy for gen
eral fund purposes has been and will be-,
u,lder 0ur present financial system, taken
to wipe ont this old interest bearing debt,
you can readily see that a continuation of
this system for a few years will leave us
with nc debt. l would therefore recon-
mend that you make the general fund levy
the same amount as previous years, not for
the purpose of running the city thereon but
that the Old debt may be wiped out, as no
money Will be used by this administration
except that collected from Licenses. if we
remain successful in collecting the same
aldEare not prevented by the action of, those
not interested in the financial welfare of
our city. Respectfully,

Republicans of hat District VIII Or
ganize for More Effective Work.
A large and enthusiastic meeting of Re-
publicans from the Thirty-eighth Assem-
bly, District to consider the organization
of Republican district club was held in
the rooms of the County Committee last
night. The meeting was called to order
by the State Central Committee who ex-
planned the object of the meeting.
Aft er considerable discussion it was de-
cided that committee consisting of the
State Central Committeeman, Mr.. Berg
erot, the County Committeeman, Mr..
Grove P. Ayers, and five members to be
appointed by Chairman Bergerot should
investigate the matter and provide means,
with the support of the County Committee,
for the organization of district club. Tie

was in attendance to officially take over
the vessel. The Mare Island tug UnadlIla
brought down $50 sailors and marines and,
without any fuss, they walked aboard and
took up their quarters. Quite mum ber
of naval officers and invited guests were
aboard and after the formal ceremony OF
transferring the ship was over al sat

soon forgotten and every body had most

Drake will be executive officer. As soon
as the Webster court-martial is over the
officers will all report for duty, and the
battle-ship's first run will probably be a
cruise to Portland, the capital of the State
after which she is named.

THE PESTHOUSE PRIORITY
The Goto Remedy Has Resulted
in an Aristocracy Of
Cleanliness.
Chinese Leper Patti, nts Coltending
Over an Important Question
of Precedence.

The enthusiasm of the lepers of the
Pesthouse over the Goto remedy remains
undated. 1t is the subject of their con-
versation from daylight until dark, and
topics of conversation are all too rare in
this isolated little world of misery.
mot Gman among all the lepers," de-
clared City Physician O'Brien last even
ing, ''but is confident of speedy recovery.
OF course it is too early to obtain any
palpable results from the specific rene.
dies, but the patients are buoyed up by
hope, and there is no doubt that the men
tai has a very material effect upon the
corporeal Deing. One thing is certain.
They all look a sight cleaner than they
did. Cleanliness is always great relief,
and, even if there was nothing else bene-
fetal in the remedy, the daily baths would
be great aid"
DR.. o. Brien was anxious, however, not
to be understood to be deDrecating in any
manner the efficiency of the remedy. On
the contrary, he considers the authority
upon which the Goto cure is RECOMMENDED
TO be very high. He referred particularly
to a member of the Hawaiian Board OF
Health named Brown. Mr.. Brown was in
this City few weeks ago, and visited the
Pesthouse in company with DR.. o Brien.
Brown has made a most extensive study
of leprosy, especially for a layman. He
was in the habit of making frequent visits
to the leper colony at Molokai until he
declared he knew every leper there by
name. Mr.. Brown stated there was no
doubt in his mind that the Goto remedies
would cure some of the worst cases here.
There were no new developments in yes

Work on the Sunken Ship BIairmore
Progressing Slowly.
Work on the sunken Blairmore is pro-
crossing slowly. Just when she will be
raised is problem that no one can solve,
but, judging from past experiences, it will
be several weeks. Captain Burns is taking
no chances, and Captain WhiteIaw is re-
pairing broken fences. When bids for the
raising of the ship were opened the lowest
was $4,000. This the underwriters con-
sidered excessive, and trey determined to
raise the vessel hemselves. Since that
time over $1,000 has been spent, and the
Blairmore is no nearer being on an even
keel than she was month ago. The
stumps of her Inasts are again showing
above water, but it will be several days
before the pumps are again in position
and at work.

nausea on the part of one of the patients,
but this circumstance in no wise disheart-
ened him with the treatment. Strangely
enough, the Chinese patients partake
equally with the whites in the enthusiasm
over the cure. They, however, experience
difficulty that has not confronted the
whites. There are only three bath tubs at
the municipal ramshackle used as a pest
house. One of these the woman Annie
uses, another is given up to the
four whites and the third is used
by the nine Chinese. The whites
have satisfactorily settled the question of
precedence, but with the yellow patients
1t Is yet much mooted. As result Of the
limited bathing facilities an aristocracy of
cleanliness has sprung up among the
Chinese, and a position in the front rank
is deemed very material honor.
DR.. O'Brien states that he will keep a
very careful account of the progress or de-
terioration OF the patients under the cure,
and he will submit the results in one of
his reports to the Board of Health. AS
this remedy has never been tried in this
country, the report will be awaited with
great interest by the medical fraternity.
