GROVE CEMETERY. This resting place for

every respect than it is at present. The
old part is nicely cared for, the lots moved
and the avenue and cutters clean. The

citizens took from $500 to 81 900 EACH and
thirty-two citizens took from 500 to $500
each. making total of 500 600. To complete
the house the company was obliged to issue
q per cent bonds to the amount of $4,000,
and the bonds were mostly sold to stock
holders For all stock and bonds the COM
pany received full par value At the time
of the fire the company had drawn and paid
| five bonds, to the amount of $1,000. The
$4,000 insurance received was paid on the
| bonds pro rata. leaving the balance OF debt
| ST 900 No interest has been paid on the
bonds since $685.. The stockholders have
lost all the stock, while those who were
bundholders will lose still more, as the

In compliance with the bonds the property
was at first insured for $4,000, but the rates
being high IL per cent yearly-by con-
sent of the bondholders it was gradually re-
duced to $4,000. No dividends have ever
been paid on stock. The taxes were paid

Many Lawyers-Defense Was Con
Quoted in an Able Manner-Gen-
orally Believed That Disagreement
Will be the Result of the Trial.

The C%oughlin case was given to the
jury at noon today, but up to the time
of going to press no verdict had been
reached. Judge Bramel's instructions
to the jury were given at 7 o'clock last
evening and the arguments of the at
torneys were begun at once, Mr.. Ar
mold opening on the part of the state.
The case has been ably prosecuted and
defended, but The Republican has this
criticism to make of the states case:
There were too many attorneys-at
least one too many If Hamlet had
been left out the play would have been
more successfully performed. For the
defense Messrs. Downey and Burritt
have worked in a faultless manner.
From beginning to end they seemed to
grasp the situation and nothing escap,
ed their untiring vigilance. Ever cour
teous. active and discreet, they made
friends all the way through and there,
by aided greatly in the defense of their
clients cause. Their summing up OF
the case was clear. powerful and con.
vincing.
1t was agreed last night that sin
hours should be given to argument OF
the case before the jury, and it was
decided hat half Of the time should be
used last night and half this morning

A FAIR OFFICIAL.
Estelle Reel, Superintendent of Educa,
ton, and Her Career.

Miss Estelle Reel, superintendent OF
public instruction for Wyoming, is one
of h successful women of the day
who are doing mans work without ac>
quiring mannish ways and II
Miss Reel. before entering politics,
was a successful teacher. In 1890 she
was elected county superintendent by
political cleverness for Laramie coun.
ty, Wyo. Four years later she captured
the nomination for state superintendent
by political cleverness unexampled in
the history of Wyoming conventions.
The department which she has man,
aged during the past three years not
only includes the superintendent OF
the states schools, but all of the work
of leasing and selling the state and
school lands, and under her admins,
tration of the Office the income to the
state has grown from this source from
500 a week to 81 900. All OF Miss Reels
assistants in her office are of her own
sex.
Miss Reel is now making a determin-
ed effort to secure a longer tenure of
Office for teachers. At the recent meet
ing of the National Educational asso-
citation at Milwaukee she advocated
this reform in a practical address,
which attracted much attention. THE
profession of teaching" she said.
would be dignified by the adoption of
such a system and would be placed on
an equality with other professions
which are not belittled by the one-year
rule of employment."-Sunday Chica-
