uaifDhy Schools

The plan of halliday sessions has
been adopted in some Michigan
schools, in order to relieve The over
crowding of children. Objection to
the plan has been made ON the ground
of its depriving the children of half
their allotted opportunity for the ac-
uuisition of knowledge, but the reports
of schools, when it has been tried. are
conclusive as to its great advantages,
us well us to the fact that In the lors
run the children learn quite as much
rs they do in the double session. Que
superintendent reports that in every
school where the single session has
been adopted. the children, besides
making just as good progress as those
in the double-fashion departments,
have IL freshness aud vigOr unknown
before; their discipline is far less diff
ficult and the need for corporal pun
ishment is greatly diminished.

Soldiers DON'T Want to Omit

Washington, ID. c., Aug 1S-The
War Department has been trying ia
ascertain the wishes of the troops as
to being mustered out. it being the OBJ
ject to accommodate the troops as far
as possible. Up to the present time il
looks as if all the volunteers wanted
to remain, and that the mastering ou
will have to be by arbitrary order.
Information received mt the depart
ment indicates that the desire to re.
main in the service is not confined tc
the officers. but that the rank and file
wish to continue in the government
service. The department will wait un
til what information possible is OBJ.
tained, when, if no troops desire to re
turn to their homes, selections in tho
best judgment of the officers will be
made. The troops, when mustered out,
will be transported to their homes.

CUBANS MUST SUBMIT.
The Junta Has Sent EmIssaries to Insur.
gent Leaders to so AdYIse Them


Washington, d. c., Aug. 1S.-There
have been conferences between Es-
trada Palma and other representa-
tives of the Cubans with officials of
the United States government relative
to the Cubans and what would be
done with them. Mr.. Palma was ad-
vised that the United States would
not consider the compensation of the
Cuban troops, because there was no
power in the government to do so
even If there was an inclination. He
was told that the best thing the Gu
bans could do was to advise the men
in arms to disband, retire to their
homes and engage In peaceful pur-
suits. That the members of the Gu
ban junta recognize that this is the
only thing to do is seen in the fact
that emissaries have already been dis
patched to Cuba with n view of carry
ing out the desires of the United
States government. These emissaries
will try to persuade the Cuban lead
ers that resistance to United States au-
thority would result only in further
disaster and distress to Cuba.

Special Meeting.


At s Friday evening of last week
Mayor Nickel called the special meet
ing to order and stated there was a
misunderstanding concerning the con-
tract for boring the we'll on Savage
mountain. The firm to whom the CON
tract had been let had loaded their
machinery and it was on the switch at
the depot; consequently, the meeting
was called so that Council might de-
eide what to do in the matter.
After silence that was painful DR..
Griffith said that in order to start the
ball rolling he would ask what is the
arrangement the committee had made
with the we'll borers -
The Mayor, replying, said they had
to bore 500 feet. or they would pos
sibly go 600 feet at 50 per foot, but
would not contract to go any deeper.
If Council wanted to drill deeper there
would have to be different machinery
provided.
Mr.. Curry, of the firm of Monroe,
Curry & West, said that he had never
seen any machinery that would drill
any deeper than the outfit they had
except the regular oil-well machinery,
and that it would cost Council 81 900
to put it in position without drilling a
foot.
Mr.. Crump asked if there had been
an agreement between the firm and
the town?
Mayor answered affirmatively, but
it had not been signed, and requested
Council not to take that matter into
consideration, but to make a new deal,
although he would like them to re-
member that the gentlemen had their
machinery here.
&. G. Townsend explained draw
ing made by him from levels that had
been run by member of the eeologi-
cal survey.
Mr.. Shuckhart gave as his opinion
that a well 800 feet deep would be
ample. and give them lots of water.
After considerable discussion as 10
location of well, depth, etc., Mr.. Price
moved that the we'll be drilled at the
location designated in drawing, so
that it would not exceed 20 feet higher
than wall of large reservoir. Carried.
He also moved that a committee Of
three be appointed to draft contract
with the firm of Monroe, Curry &
West for the drilling of well. Carried.
The Mayor appointed Messrs. Price,
Shuckhart, and Attorney Purnell.
The Committee retired and in a
sholt time reported contract pro-
viding for the firm mentioned above
to drill we'll not less than So inches
in diameter inside of easing and not
exceeding Il depth of 600 feet at So per
foot, same not to be paid for until
completion of work. 1t also provides
that the casing be firstclass and placed
wherever it would help the flow of
water. The town on it's part promises
to pay at the completion of the work.
Mr.. Price moved that the Attorney
be instructed to draw up contract in
