DENVER, CoLo., May 28.-There has
been big boom in mining shares during
the last lew days. and the scene around
the pit of the Mining Stock Exchange
resembles the days of 1895 when every
body went wild over stocks.
The most noticeable advance was in
Mollie Gibson. Gibson was drug on the
market last Saturday at Is cents. Last
night 1t closed stIong at So cents, and
some curb sales were al 65 cents. Ar
Gentum Juniata, another Aspen stock Of
the same class. has advanced from IL to
81 esnis since Monday. Anaconda, Isabella
and other gold stocks of Cripple Creek,
which have been on bedrock for q month,
ware in great demand.
The Improvement is caused by the dis
covery OF vein of four feet of silver ore
between the first and second level OF the
Mollie Glb bson, which runs nearly 10000
ounces to the ton. This is supposed to be
the lost vein from which the mine several
years ago paid over $4 600 600 in dividends.

thought brought out the fact that this
would be unfair TO others, so it was
finally decided to allow any one wish
! ing it to come in. The endorsement
/ of the Board was what was wanted
/ There would be no expense to the de-
partment.
! The Board seemed to be in favor of
the scheme, and Mr.. Townsend said
that he was perfectly willing to take
the thing into his hands.
1t was then voted that the scheme be
undertaken by the department. Very
probably, if it proves a success, the
department will take it in as a special
branch
H. S. Townsend reported that he had
picked out about 80 books to be used
in a travelling library in the schools
of Honolulu. The Board moved that
they be submitted to a committee, and
in case of their approval, they be
started on their travels Immediately.
w. A Bowen read an application,
written by himself, of a young lady
for a position as teacher in a certain
school, She did not care to have her
name mentioned, and did not care to-
have even the name of the school
mentioned.
A letter from a lady on the PENN
sula recommended Miss Mabel Sumter
for a position as teacher in one of the
schools of the city.
Referring to trouble between certain
two teachers in the city, Mr. Bowen
said that he had received a call from
one of the men, who recommended |
leniency in the case of the other when |
action was taken. He wished it to be |
that this was meant in no
spirit of impertinence to the Board, |
but simply as a word by the wayside.
! President Cooper said that he was
ready to speak his mind as a member
Of the committee, to whom had been
referred the examination into the
cases Of two teachers, against whom
had been made. The other
two members of the committee were
not ready to report, so the matter was
held over until the next session.
At Ais p. m. the Board adjourned,
subject to the call of the chair.

New Scheme of the Inspector Gen.
eral-BookS for Travelling Lib
rary Have Been Chosen.

At the regular weekly session of the
Commissioners of Education, yester-
day afternoon, there were present the
following: President Cooper, Mrs. E
w Jordan, H. S. Townsend, Professor
Alexander, w. A. Bowen, J. F. Scott
Minutes OF the previous meeting read
and approved.
H. S. Townsend read the following
appointments made by the Teachers
Committee:
Miss Frank Eaton to the position of
assistant in the Hilo Select School.
Adopted.
Sam r. Dowdel to a position in the
Makawao School. Adopted.
H. K Dana to Waialua School.
The point was raised here as to what
was due Dana in the matter of salary.
His salary was second class, and H. S.
Townsend stated it as his opinion that
a great deal of work had been taken
in the Kamehameha School that could
not show in the examination, but
which would show in the school room.
In recognition of this fact, it was Mr.
Townsend's opinion that a larger sal
ary than ordinary should be paid 1t
was so voted by the Commissioners.
President Cooper was not favorable
to raising the certificate on account of
the work taken, and so expressed him
self. If the work in Kamehameha was
to be taken as a years experience, he
was willing to grant the extra amount
on that ground The Commissioners
changed their minds and granted the
salary agreed on at first, but with the
understanding that the certificate be
named second class with one years ex-
perience.
Miss Grace Sharp to Lihue Adopted
Miss Helen Kelsey to the position
of principal at Kekaha. Adopted
Miss Abbie Guerney to the position
of assistant in Kekaha Adopted.

sition of assistant in Hanapepe. Adopt

son. Adopted.

hau School. Adopted.

alahau, Maui. Adopted.
M. Soares to the position of assist
ant in Koloa School. Adopted.
Miss Trinidad Marcos to a position in
he Punaluu School. Adopted.

H. S. Townsend spoke of Mr.. Bur-
nette, a business man now in town,
who had applied for position in the
Night School as a teacher in book
keeping, commercial arithmetic, etc.
He explained that he had not yet
spoken to Mr.. Lightfoot, the present
principal of the Night School, about
he matter.

THEY STAMPED HIM TO DEATH.
Urbana Mob Wreck Vengeance on
the Assailant of Mrs. GHumcr.

Urbana, Ohio, June 5.-After the fir
ing of the militia on the crowd of spec
tatOrs during the early morning hours,
Governor Bushnell ordered Company
E of the Third infantry of Springfield,
to come here at once. They were notl-
fled that they were not needed, ana
marched away The local military
company had previously refused to
serve longer, and had gone to the sec
ond story of the sherff's residence, and
there gone to sleep. With no resistance
offered the crowd at once made a rush
for the side door, two strong and deter
mined men kicked it down in snort
order and gained admission TO the
jail, the crowd following. There were
plenty of sledge hammers, chisels ana
other tools and the men went to work.
Part of the crowd had previously forced
themselves upstairs into the private
apartments of the sheriff, and found
bunch of keys. which proved TO De the
keys of the jailor The crowd got into
the Jail in short order. Ihey ana nol
wait to unlock the doors of MitchelIs
cell, but burst the lock with sledge
hammer, and the door soon flew open.
Mitchell was standing in his cell, ana
offered no resistance, and ala not utter
a word. Some one in the crowd had d
rope and it was placed over the brute's
neck and the crowd made for the door,
Mitchell following at the end.
In going down the steps OUTSIDE OF
the Jail, Mitchell fell down, and the
rope snapped off of his neck. The
crowd surrounded him and jumped on
him like a thousand hungry dogs after
a bone. The brute was kicked. beaten
and nearly killed. The rope was quick
ly slipped over his head again and
rush made for a tree in the corner OF
the court yard The end was thrown
over a strong limb and a thousand
willing hands pulled the wretch up.
The end was tied to an iron fence ana
Mitchell was left hanging there in fun
view of several thousand people, to die.
All this was done in shorter time
than it takes to tell the story.

DISCUSS THE Wool SCHEDULE.
senator Mantle Makes IA Two Hours
speech.

Washington, June Sin his speech
on the tariff bill Senator Mantle Of
Montana said that there had been no
opportunity for presenting the wool
growers side of the contention in the
other branch OF congress- for the reason
that, owing to the brief time allowed
for debate, the wool schedule had new
er been reached in that body, He pre-
scented. fully and supported with nu-
merous tables and statistics the wool
growers side of the controversy and
showed the enormous losses sustained
by the wool-growers in the depreca-
ton in the value of sheep and wool
during the past six years. He declared
that by reason of the enormous impor-
tations, in anticipation of a tariff law
the wool-growers would not receive
much benefit from the protective tariff
for four years to come.
He asserted that whenever a Ariif
law is TO be enacted the powerful man
ufactFing interests of the country are
always on the ground pushing their in
terests, while the farmers and wool
growers are an isolated and scattered
class, from the nature of their vocation,
and are thus lacking in effective organ
ization; hence they had not rec alVed
their just share of protection. The
great majority of the wool-grow ars Of
the country are protectionists and le-
puhliCanS most of them are believers
But the questions of protection and
free coinage having been divided IN the
last campaign, the wool-growers ac-
cepting the pledge contained in he re-
publican national platform in favor Of
ample protection for wool, and believ-
ing protection to be the paramount is
sue, cast their votes in the doubtful
states for Mckinley and elected him.
The tariff bill as ii passed the house,
and as now amended by the senate,
utterly fails 10 meet the expectations
of the wool-growers and is regarded by
them largely as a reputation Of the
republican pledge.
The wool-growers of the country. he
continued, are indignant over tlis
treatment, and he warned the ~epuOli-
cans that they must change the pro
posed rates or they would lose the sup
port of this numerous element in the
ensuing campaign. He asserted that
the Mckinley law had not afforded the
necessary protection to wool-groW ars,
and quoted statistics to prove his as
sertion.

Stouch absolutely refuse IS to cooperate

notoriety of late by his eccentric ac-

back of the head, and then put pistol

for protection, and he was placed under
bonds to keep the peace. Since then the
girl has received several threatening
letters from him, in the last of which
he announced that he would do some
thing which they would both regret.
Barber also came before the Wash

role a few days ago, being brought into
police court for an assault with some
sensational features arising out of
