TeaCher's Institute.

An institute of the Garrett county
teachers was held in the public school
building in Oakland on Saturday
last. Secretary Palmer presided
over the meeting and the opening ad-
dress was made by Mr.. VIM. Hine-
baugh. About twenty teachers were
present, the small number being on
account of the inclement weather.
Various topics of interest to the teach
ers were discussed, among them being
the explanation by Examiner Palmer
of the injustice of the division of the
State school fund among the different
counties. This was explained in such
a clear manner as to be readily under
stood by each teacher present, and we
hope will insure the cooperation of
the teachers in the agitation of the
subject until the parents and patrons
understood it thoroughly. When
this is once accomplished, in our opin-
ion, the road to the remedy will be
short.

PLUCKY BRYANITES OF BOSTON
THEY MAY DEFEAT GOLD-BUG
QUINCY TODAY.
Campaign On Their Part Has Been
Conducted With the Greatest
Vigor-Republican Victory Prob
able.
Boston, Dec. 2O.-The municipal cam

Boston, Dec. 20.-The municipal cam
paign closed tonight with rallies by
the supporters of all three of the
leading candidates, and tomorrow the
100000 or more electors will choose a
mayor, seven aldermen, eight members
of the school committee, a street COM
missioner for three years and three
councilmen from each ward.
The candidates of the two leading
political parties are the same as two
years ago, Mayor Quincy heading the
Democratic ticket, while ex-Mayor
Edwin U. Curtis is the candidate of
the Republicans for the third time.
The disturbing factor in the cam
paign has been the candidacy OF
Thomas Riley, who is running on the
Bryan Democratic ticket, and his
campaign, which has been strongly
antagonistic to Mayor Quincy, has
been conducted with great vigor by
several young politicians. The cam
paign has been marked by its intensity
of feeling, especially on the part of
the Riley supporters, whose ouslaughts
on Mayor Quincy has been exceedingly
batter.
AS the election of Mr.. Riley is con
sidered out of the question, the con-
Test apparently depends on how many
votes he can draw from the regular
, Democratic candidate. Although the
city gave a Republican majority at
the state election last month the
registration has been heavily Demo
cratic, and it is normally of that
tendency.

Urges United Action By All the Free
Silver Forces.


Ben. T. Rich made an address to the
members Of the Washable club at their
regular meeting last night. Mr.. Rich's
talk was in the strain of advocacy of
free silver, and favored the union of all
the silver forces, whether Democrat,
Republican or Populist, locally as we'll
as nationally AS for himself, he is a
Silver Republican, but if the Democrats
remain true to the Chicago platform
he will be found working for them and
with them. He drew a strong picture
of the moral heroism required to bolt
the St Louis convention. He said he
expected to be accused of being a Wa
Shake and Democrat, just as Senator
Cannon was after he addressed the Wa
Shake club, but that nevertheless, he
is a silver Republican.
John A. Boyle, mayorelect, made a
brief but forcible speech.
A. j. Weber set the boys to laughing

is to have silver Republicans and silver

WATCHING LAND BOOMERS.
Literature Scattered Abroad Offering
Commissions For Sale.

, Washington, Dec. 20.-Interior de-
partment officials are watching the
operations of land boomers who, it is
alleged, are making arrangements to
enter the lands of the Wichita and
Apache Comauche Indian reservations
in Oklahoma. A treaty for the opening
of the latter is now pending before
congress. Some of the literature of the
persons who are working up the boom
has been received at the department,
in which commissions of membership
are offered for sale at the rate of So
each They have been scattered broad
cast throughout the country. The
agents are said to receive 81 for each
member enrolled.
The opinion is expressed at the de-
partment that the persons behind the
scheme have no idea of being permitted
to occupy the lands, but that they will,
after interesting a large number of
persons in it, cease their operations.
No particular rendezvous for the pro-
posed ''sooners, it is said, is indicated
in the pamphlets received at the de-
partment The Indian agents have
been warned of the proposed move
ment and have been directed to call
on the military to assist in preventing
the forcible occupation of the lands.
Commissioner Jones of the Indian Of
flee has recently returned from a visit
to the Indian country and is disposed
to give little credit to the probability OF
any invasion of the lands, and says,
after an investigation of the reports,
that there is nothing to be feared.
