544 Congress st.

W. R. Chapman of New York, who is to
conduct the great musical festival, which
is to be held in this city next October.
Prof. Chapman is native of Maine and
has acquired great fame in New York
city, and in the Middle States as a con-
ductor. He is conductor of the Rubenstein
club, swell organization of New York,
and of several other musical societies of
that city. At the Haydn rehearsal, at
Kotzschmar hall, this afternoon, Mr..
Chapman will take charge, and the re-
hearsals of this evening, and that of to-
morrow at City hall will be under his
direction. In the evening of Tuesday he
will also take charge of the concert at
City hall, Prof. Kotzschmar yielding up
the baton in order that the society may
get used to Prof. Chapman's style of con-
Quoting preparatory to the fall festival.
After tomorrow evenings concert the
Haydn's will adjourn until fall, when
work upon the festival music will begin
in earnest The programme given below
is very attractive one, and the choruses
were selected by Mr.. Chapman from the
list he has prepared for the festival. Much
curiosity exists as to how the Haydns
will behave under a new conductor, and
there promise to be large attendance.
This will be the programme of the City
hall concert:

Just what there is in the deem
hole made in the ground by the
Oil Company recently organized at
Central City, no one outside of
those intimately connected with the
concern seems to- know. On Tues.
day afternoon the report was circu-
lated that a considerable strike had
been made. An investigation re-
suited in finding the sand consider
ably impregnatod with oil with a
small volume of gas. Later, there
was much excitement created over
the report that paying quantity of
oil had been found. YESTERDAY
evening it developed that the hole
had detected to one side and it be-
came necessary to fill it up for n
few feet in order to straighten it by
starting the drill again. A leading
stakeholder stated Co the Herald
that there was good showing of
oil at the time the partial filling &C.
Cured. This was at the depth of
1865 feet.

Ncrcuo, W. "a, NOV. IL, 1897.
The second regular meeting of
the teachers of the Ceredo In.
dependent District was held in the
Central building, Monday night,
Nov. 8, 1897. All the teachers
were present, except Miss Bette
Lambert, and responded to roll call
by quotations from Gray's Elegy
on country church yard and which
was part of the programme.
On motion by Mr.. Mitchell the
Secretary was ordered TO include a
more minute report of the meetings
in the minutes SO az To reflect their
true character and give full and
complete portrayal of what is going
on.
Nearly one hour was then spent
in giving reports. Cases of hardness,
truancy, etc, were considered with
the most expedient ways of dispos-
ing of them, and how to prevent re-
petition. Ideas on teaching and gen
eral school work were exchanged az
the result of practical experience
and as exhibited 10y the latest school
and educational journals.
Attention was called to the rule
that all pupils whose attendance is
regular, department good and who
have not been tardy and have an
average of 80 per cent. should be
promoted without examination.
The compulsory attendance law was
carefully considered as to it's applica-
tian to pupil and teacher.
The Superintendent then gave
his report covering the excusing of
pupils from school to take music
lessons, which was decided to be
detrimental to the best working of
