The New schoolhouse for ward one.n


The new schoolhouse to be erected by
the city in Ward One was designed by
Architect Thompson. The building will
be two and one-half stories high and a
handsome structure. There will be eight
school-rooms in the new building, four
on each floor. In each of the four corners
on the first floor room will be located
Corridors of ample width run through
the building, one east and west and the
other north and south. The second
story will be nearly the same as the first,
except that it will contain an office for
tho principal. There will be hall on
the third floor. The heating and venti-
lating will be secured by the fan system
similar to the one in the High school,
the best thing for the purpose now
known. The arrangement of the rooms is
admirable for school purposes. The prin-
cipal of the school can stand IN the centre
of the first floor, look into every school
room and dressing-room on that floor,
without stirring from her tracks. She
will also be able to see every pupil who
comes downstairs from the second story.

AN FEAST DEERINo STORY
Which Has Set the Tongues of the Gossins
Wagg ing in that Town,

On Friday afternoon a young girl ran
wildly down Main street in East Deering
while in pursuit of her was man, who
in his haste, had forgotten to put on his
shoes and was making frantic endeavors
| to catch the girl. This he finally succeed
ed in doing and tried to induce the girl
to return to her home, which was only a
short distance away. This the girl re-
fused to do and the man, who was the
young lady's father, attempted to force
her to go back and finally by the aid of
another man succeeded in taking her
to the house.
This incident was viewed by several
people and to one Of the witnesses of the
scene the man, who was Mr.. j. A.
Brown, told the following story. He said
that his daughter Eva, who is seventeen
years old, and very nicely educated and
refined young woman, had fallen in love
with a young man named Morrill,, who
is clam digger and works for man in
East Deering. Mr.. Brown said that he
had not known his daughter was keeping
company with the young man until very
recently but as soon as he learned of it
he forbade the young lady to meet or see
Morrill,. Despite her fathers commands
the young lady continued to meet Morrill,
and at last Mr.. Brown said that he had
forbade the young man to come to his
house and had kept sharp eye on his
daughter. On Friday afternoon the
girl had escaped from the house and
startedSto meet Morrill,. When the father
found that she had gone he went in pur-
suit of her. He overlook her in the street,
her home.
Shortly after the father had taken his
daughter into his house an unwilling
captive, Morrill, appeared in the vicinity
in carriage and it was thought that he
had been waiting for the girl Failing
in meeting the young lady, Morrill, looked
in vain for q chance to see her and finally
on Monday, so it is said, sent note to
her by the hands of young man named
William Tinsman. Tinsman went to Mr..
Browns house with the message and in
the yard encountered Mrs. Norris, the
mission to see her neice and ordered him
to leave the premises. Mr.. Brown ap-
peared about this time and it is said that
lively scene took place during which
young Tinsman had some trouble with
Mrs. Norris and during the melee the
aunt accidently broke her finger. She
complained to the Deering city marshal
about the matter and yesterday, it is
stated, City Marshal Clark was over in
East Deering making inquiries about
young Tinsman and it was supposed that
he had warrant for the young man S
arrest. But young Tinsman was not to
be found yesterday by the city marshal
and last night no arrest had been made.
Young Morrill,, who is about twenty
| five years old is said to be very nice fell
low and youth of good habits and he
| is well liked in East Deering. Mr.. Brown
| is candy maker and lives in the house
| known as "The Cedars'' not far from

PORTLAND,
TIME feeling is instructive that wooden UNDER
J. clothing is ''hot" in warm weather; that if
wear wool in winter to keep warm
something different should be worn in summer to
keep cool.
DR.. Jaegar says this is mistake and he has
written little book culed "Health Culture and the
Sanitary Wooden System, which explains all his
theories and contains plenty of convincing reasons
why wool clothing should be next the skin
the year round, summer and winter.
Copies Of this little book can be had at either
Of our Underwear counters free.
We keep complete stock of the sanitary lgar.
ments made by DR.. Jaeger's Company including
union suits in all weights for any and for any
climate. Some of the leading physicians have en-
dosed it and strongly recommend it to those whose
constitutions not robust or whose health is inn
paired. Illustrated catalogues with samples of the
fabrics free for the asking.

BOTTLED COCKTAILS.
Those Who Keep Them in Stock Must Pay
RCctifyers License.

St. Louis, March 30.-What local
liquor dealers declare is a death blow
TO bottled cocktails has been dealt here.
The United States Treasury Depart
ment has decided that all retailers who
keep bottles of cocktails on their shell
YES for sale must pay a rectifers Ii
cense. A year ago a st. Louis liquor
merchant was requested by the United
States Commissioner TO pay the recti-
tiers license. He contested the right Of
the government 70 demand such pay
ment, saying he had already purchased
the materials used in compromising the
cocktails and had paid the usual reve-
nue. license. The case has been hang
ing fire ever since, and has just been de-
cided.
The retailers say there is no money
in handling the bottled cocktails if
such a tax must be paid. 1t is likely
that hereafter the man who likes his
mixed drink bottled will have to get il
prepared at the bar and take it away
fresh.

FRANKFORT, Ky, March 30.-The con-
tinuous balloting for Senator this after
noon. resulting in no further loss OF
strength by DR.. Hunter. is evidently very
pleasing TO his friends, who had been
threatened with a stampede from their

shake the siXty-siX who are solidly stand
ing for him. and that the gold Democrats.
who are determined to have an election,
viii sooner or later come to him and more
than supply the needed three votes The
alti-Hunter people claim that the trial
demonstrates that the nominee cannot get
the necessa Y Yotes. cannot be elected
and therefore should withdraw or he with
drown in favor OF some other Republican.
There are hundreds Of schemes Matching
and some fifteen or twenty candidates on
The ground. ready to inherit the mantle of
the nominee -'henever II is possible TO do
so. The indications tonight are that DR..
Hunter has no idea of Withdrawing that
no attempt to get him to withdraw is be-
ing made. and hat the final fight will be
= close finish between Hunter and Black
burn or Hunter aaG Bradley, with Hunter
a probable winner.
Twelve ballots were taken today with
out change in the result.
The latest scheme tonight is a fusion on
W. c. =. Breckenridge by the Republicans
and gold Democrats and there are dozens
of men here who really believe that Breck-
inridge may be elected.
