A syndicate TO Purchase KlOndIke
CtA1ms

Late advices from London confirm
rumors that have heretofore reached this
side of the Atlantic that a financially
powerful syndicate is in process of for
nation in England, France and Germany
to buy all of the paying claims of miners
in the Klondike region. Of course this
will lead to vast amount of speculative
valuation, but there is claim in the
Klondike, as elsewhere, which it is i'm
possible to underestimate, and that is the
claim of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters to
the foremost place among American
remedies for liver complaint. The bill
ous and coDstipated derive prompt re-
lief from this genial Alternative, which
remedies nausea, yellowness of the skin
and eyebals, fur upon the tongue, and
unpleasant odor of the breath that char
acterize biliousness. Ii also remedies
and prevents malarial and rheumatic all
ments, kidney trouble, lack of stamina,
dyspepsia and nervousness. Like all
standard remedies that have established
themselves in popular favor, it deserves a
fair and persistent trial.

To the crop. and these influences

Prices are now tiuctuating in

has been during the past SIX
weeks a decline in price which
the situation does not Justify.

LAFAYETTE CHTNM Schools.
\ Few Facts.

The Code. 1898 empowers
the school Board To define the
boundaries of and make altera-
tons in school districts. Act
of Feb. 10 1884,. 1895. requires
. square miles or more aud -
children in each district: but in
certain eases, Board may form
regular districts of not less than
~ educablc children. and in ex-
IRENE cases special districts may
be formed Of not less than Ia
children. but these must not ex-
ceed one fifth of whole number
of districts IN the county. In
strict compliance With the Code.
the School Board made changes
in some of the districts. These
changes have wrought incon-
venIen, - to sore and elected
complaints. Ii Is impossible to
accommodate every one. bat
We believe the changes have
been beneficial. The new houses
required have been better. and
the schools improved. For
instance Dallas has a good new
house. Center Hill, Central
Stand, Alcs, Lafayette Springs,
and others. While 10 or L. dis
tricts are preparing to build
nice new houses. and in nearly
every ease large and live
schools are maintained.
Last year We began the
schools without money and run
five months Our receipts dur
ing the year were about sci
600 and expenditures sI6.500.
leaving n balance of si.j0O to
start this year. This will be
used To extend the school term
this year 10 six months, a reali-
zation of the hope | expressed
two years ago. Pardon me for
saying further. that through my
efforts the educable roll was
increased about 500: which adds
about $500 annually TO the
school fund of the county.
