High School
COf1lnleQCet1lent.

Thursday May goth, was q
gala day to the pupils of Mrs.
Drummond's grade. In the even
ing the little boys and girls an
der her charge, gave quite an en-
PERTAINING program consisting OF
songs, speeches, and characters
representing the whole catalogue
Of the virtues as well as of iudi-
viduals. Appropriate costumes,
aags in abundance, flowers in
profusion, and a May pole, all
combined to make each little lad
and lass very happy.
On Friday night the gradual
ing exercises of the class of '97
took place IN the elegant new
Chapel Hall of the Public School
building. It was noticeable that
the people of the town manifest
ed great interest in the occasion
by more than filling the spacious
hall by 8 o'clock. The assemb-
ling visitors were very hand
somely ushered by four of
Clarksburg's most popular young
society men, viz Will Lewis,
Will Wallis, Lee Hedges, and
Lynn Hornor.
AT s:15 the class filed into the
room, led by Prof. McConkey.
They numbered seven-six girls
and one boy, which goes to show
the depleted condition of our
high schools as far as the mas
culine portion is concerned. The
class was seated on the stage. in
semi-circle. The young ladies
were attired in white organdie,
and made a very beautiful ap-
pearance in the brilliantly light
ed hall.
Each member of the class
read a we'll. worded and we'll PIE
pared essay. Itwas very notice
able that they we're largely his
torical in their general out lines,
and were replete with literary
quotations from standard authors
OF whom the Bard of Avon"
seemed to be the favorite. The

THE WOOL nARkET.
Extraordinary Prices Being PAID for Clips In
the West.

The current issue of the American
Cotton and Wool Reporter. in a re-
view of the wool market says:
1.-The movement of territories has
been small, domestic woods generally
being very quiet. Foreign stock has
attracted the greater part of the
business, considerable Australian
and South American crossbreds be-
ing moved. The chief topic of con-
versatiOn today is the extraordinary
prices being paid for wool in the
west. To illustrate, we hear of a
purchase In Nevada at liz cents,
which, on an average shrinkage of
10 per cent for such wool, would
mean a clean price Of 45 cen ts i'm Bos-
ton. We also hear of over 1,0O0, 900
pounds Of wool being bought in New
Mexico on speculation, a part OF
which at least brought l4h cents
there, which is probably equivalent
to 81 cents to 80 cents, clean, in Bos-
ton; this wool. by the way, was car
ried over from last year"

THE TARIFF BILL.
Reported to the Senate On Tuesday Of Last
Week.

Senator Aldrich in presenting the
tariff bill gave notice that it would
be called up ON Tuesday, the 18th
inst. The time for the bill to take
effect is made July 1, instead of May
1, as provided by the house.
The following is the provision in
regard to- wool lead and hides:
Hides of cattle, raw or uncured.
dry, salted or picked, IL cents

ported made from imported hides,
There shall be allowed drawback
equal to the amount of duty paid on
such hides.
Many important changes were
made in the wool and wooden
schedule. First class woods were re-
duced from IL cents a pound to eight
cents; second class woods from II
cents to nine cents; whereas the
duties ON woods of the third class
We're raised. The dividing line was
placed at 10 cents value, woods un-
der that value being made dutiable
at four cents per pound instead OF
81 per cent ad valorem, as in the
house bill. Woods valued at more
than 10 cents per pound, were placed
at seven cents per pound instead oi
80 per cent ad valorem- Wool

The 0ppositiod Say Tariff Bli VIII be Dis
posed Of By JsIy Ist.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-Contrary to
the general impression 1t is not the
intention OF the opposition to delay
the passage OF the tariff bill. A few
men are advocating a policy OF delay.
but they are SO greatly in the minor
ity that they are not apt to accom-
plish anything. There does not ap-
pear to be any warrant for the pre-
diction freely indulged in that the
bill cannot be got out of the Senate
before August or September. The
impression among those familiar
with the situation is that this idea
is started by some who are notsatis-
fed with what their sections are
getting in the bill, but who are not
In position to fight the bill and are
trying to encourage the Democrats
and silver Republicans to make a
fight in their interest.
There is the very best authority for
the statement that the opposition
do not intend to make a long fight.
The leaders of all the elements of the
opposition have had repeated dis
cussions of the question, and their
calculations all look to the disposal
of the whole matter by the 1st of
July. They say that IL there was
nothing to take into consideration
except their opposition, the billcould
be disposed Of before that. One OF
the leaders of the opposition sena-
tors declared that he had no doubt
that the friends of the bill would
consume a third more time In dis
GUESSING 1t than would the opposi-
ton. "we want them to finish it up
as speedily as possible" ne said,

ing that we are not going to delay

Mississippi Exposition.

w. II. Sutherlin, of While Sulphur
Springs, who is vice-president for
Montana and International Exposi-
ton to be held at Omaha next year,
is sending out circular letters solicit
ing exhibits. The letter reads:
Dear Sir: For the purpose of max
ing an exhibit of Montana's resour-
ces at the Trans-Mississipp Interna-
tional Exposition, to be held at

wheat, corn and oats, timothy. blue
Joint, clover and alfalfa hay, pota-
toes and such other products as they

In order to perfectly enter the ex-
hibits, the date of planting, number
of acres raised, number of times irri-
gated, date of harvesting, yield per

required. The samples of grain must
be both on the straw and threshed
while the hay will be in bales and

ARBITRATION TREATY LOST.
The Senate Refuses to Ratify the Treaty N
Its Present Form.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The senate
today by a vote of 43 to 26 refused to
ratify the general arbitration treaty
between the United States and Great
Britain, negotiated by Secretary
Olney and Sir Julian Pauncefote.
The rules of the senate require q ma
joyity of two-thirds for the ratifica-
ton of treaties. Hence four affirma-
tive votes would have been required
to secure a favorable result.
Senator Carter, who from the first
has been one of the most active and
effective opponents of the treaty said
he would put no obstacle in the way
of the postponement of the vote un-
til another day, but II the vote was
to be taken today he would insist
upon it at the specified time. He
made very pungent speech in oppo-
sition. He said there could be no
doubt of the partiality of the govern
ment and the people of the United
States toward the settlement of dis
putes by arbitration, and that for
this reason there never would be any
difficulty in securing an agreement
for the arbitration Of any specific
dispute with any nation, but it was
not necessary for our people to tie
themselves with an agreement of un-
certain scope and purport, especially
with u country which had shown
itself 40 completely out of sympathy
with the feelings of the people of the
United States i'm the position England
had taken i'm European affairs.
Carter advised the senate to LET
well enough alone. Senator HoaI
replied briefly. going over the general
argument i'm favor of the treaty
and contending especially that the
objection of Inconsistency in regard
to territorial claims was not wei
founded.
Senator Davis, chairman OF tn,
committee on foreign relations, de
clined to express an opinion fol
publication, but talked freely will
his friends. To them he attributes
the defeat to the feeling of dissatis
faction at England's course in tn
struggle of the Greeks to liberate tn
iisland of Crete from Ottoman domin
ion and in the Armenian massacre
and with the "evident" designs O
Great Britain upon Transvaal. A
the conclusion of the proceedings, al
of which were in executive session
the senate refused to authorize tn
publication of the details.

the board may take in the matter of
dedicating the home he is of the
opinion that it will not be held until

The board will probably decide to
