THE SCHOOL ELECTION.

Salem school district will elect Two
directors az the March meeting who
will serve, one FIVE years and one, one
year. These directors Will not only
have voice in the management of
our schools, but will have TO act on
refunding or paying the schOolhouse
bonded deb, which is now paying 9
aud per cent. These men will also
have TO decide on the matter of Dor
rowing money to defray current ex-
penses, as has been done for some
years at 7 TO 8 per cent or funding the
floating debt and getJlng on a cash
basis.
The district should get on cash
basis aud stay there. The interest
burden u crippling the schools. With
IN enormous Insurance bill and other
miscellaneous expenses the district
cannot meet expenses this year with
a six mill levy. The schools are not
too good but certainly should not be
subject to any expense not absolutely
aud lmperatively necessary. They
should be put on purely educational
and business basis, and not subject to
any political or religious pull.
The custom OF bringing out candi-
dates by petition is liable to serious
abuse. Any man cau thus make him
ielf "A candidate while seemingly not
doing SO. Few people refuse To sign a
petition for such purpose, when at
the same time they sign away their
right TO use their best judgment for
the school district. The people have
a right To make nominations and
should use IL.
The Office OF school director is the
most nearly "a sacred office in the gift
of the people. 1t should be lifted
above selfseeking and above self
interest. The financial condition of
the district Is such thai the people
are sorely in need OF disinterested
and patriotic service on the school
board. 1t must be remembered that
the people Of the district have not
been doing the financing" that was
fixed up in secret in the legislature Of
1893, when this district was knocked
out and its back broken and has never
caught up since. The district is now
sixteen months behind. The people
did not do that. The people did not
ask for the law that makes warrants
draw no interest and hence makes
borrowing at the bank necessary. The
people never asked for the law that
makes school bonds run twenty
years, and can only be called in at
the end OF ten years. The bonds
should be payable atcall aud warrants
should draw or q per cent interest
Is all this legislation had been the
cunning cOntrivance of interested
paIties IL could not be more unjust to
the taxpayer, or unfair TO the people.
1t Is time the people were waking up
TO the fact that their school system is
the prey of the jobber and politician.

IL will be interesting TO see II the
supreme act OF treachery Of the Pat

and that kind OF politics perpetuated
in Oregon In the names OF Republic
canism. President Mckinley and
Secretary Gage are no doubt hesltat-

They may know hat In the legisla-
ture of 1895 Patterson was an Osten-
sible supporter Of Senator DOlph for
reelection because he was the caucus
nominee, while in reality he was one
Of Senator Mltchell's and Geo. W, Nc
Brides managers in the conspiracy
TO make Mcbride senator, while Nc
Bride was also ostensibly supporting
DOlph.
Patterson went so far as TO assure
members OF the legislature who were
opposed TO DOlph, out who felt like
giving him support, that II his Pat
terson's) vote would elect Dolph, he
would vote for Governor Lord for
senator which he finally did before the
Mcbride trap was sprung on the last
ballot.
These facts may have been laid be
fore Mckinley and Gage and they
may he hesitatiDg before placing the
crown of olives fiat otiice) on the brow

Miss Mario Corelli, the authoress, is

mandolin.
John Holmes, the brother Of Oliver
Wendell Holmes, was almost unheard OF

LUETGERT CONVICTED
and Sentenced 30 Life imprisonment
He Smiles mt the Verdict.

Chicago, Feb. 1oe-Adolp L.
Luetgert was last night convicted
of the murder of his wife and SEN
te1ced to Imprisonment in the pen
itentiary for the term ofhis natural
life. Luetgert received the verdict
with a laugh.
The sound ofClerk Kuopf S voice
had not died away when Attorney
Harmon was on his feet with re,
quest that the jury be polled. This
was done, each juror affirming the
verdict. Then Mr.. Harmon entered
a motion for a new trial, which was
entered, and will be argued within
a few days.
Luetgert was led back to jail in
apparently good spirits, glad fol-
one thing-that his long suspense
was ended at last and comforted by
the assurance of his lawyers that
he will get a new trial, and that the
state will not be able to convict
him a second time.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Pruning can be done when the trees are
not frozen.
Water should never be allowed to stand
around trees.
Mulching should be done when the
ground freezes.
Pansies sown in the fall should be well
protected during the winter.
The ounce is greatly benefited by heavy
manuring applied late in the fall or early
winter.
All trees and vines that are sheltered
from the winds will bud out sooner than
those that are exposed.
1t is claimed that phosphate fertilil' IS
give rich, peculiar flavor to grapes not
obtainable in any other way.
If any limbs of trees should get taken
off by storms in winter, cut of the broken
part and cover the wound with paint.
Pear blight is less abundant in orchards
where only fair growth is made than
among trees forced along by strong ma
nures.
When setting out trees of any Kind,
never put manure of any sort in the hole
made to receive the roots of the tree. -Ex-

Henry Neidig, of Wampun, Pa,
who went to the Alaskan gold
fields early in the Klondike excite
ment, writes to the Pittsburg Times
from Seattle, Wash: ut is con-
sentative estimate that 100000 per
sons will endeavor to reach the
Northwestern North American gold
regions during 1898. Their ex-
penditure is bound to average $7oo.
This means $50, 700. This is
the stake that is being played tor,
and the tremendous clamor may be
understood. To put these men on
an average. $500 head, they mnst
mine $40, 100000! To give them
an average of $1,000, which is less
than their expectations, they must
bring out $5oo,ooo,ooo. No one
who has any idea of the chemistry
involved in producing gold will
claim that this amount will be mined
in the next ten years. This craze
will 60 into history as the most CO.
lossal thing of its kind that has
struck the earth for three centu
ries."

A Wayne county man accepted
$40, 900, in confederate money, in
payment for horse, the other day,
and thought he had struck a fine
bargain. He showed the money to
friend who possessed very little
more information on the subject,
and pronounced it counterfeit,
whereupon both men went in
search of the scoundrel whose vic
tins they were,a young man named
Castle. Of Kentucky. Castle was
overtaken on the banks of the Big
Sandy, and was glad enough to re-
turn the horse for the money, bad
as it was, and no questions asked.
In the last few days a beegar
whose condition apparently was de-
serving of the greatest charity has
been in town. He has made a
thorough canvas of the to vn and
but few have refused to give him
aims. One OF the gentlemen whom
he has approached happened to be
in a hotel short time after the fell
low had been in his place Of bust
ness and found the fellow stopping
at the place. There he sat with
his feet up on a table reading a
magazine and enjoying the fruits OF
the mistaken charity of the people
of the town. The best plan is to
let unknown beggars severely
alone. Usually when man can't
get help at home he don't deserve it
from people anywhere, and no one
can make a very big mistake in re-
fusing aid to the travelling mendi-
cant.

It's a jingle but it seems to be
sense, and is from an exchange:
eff you expect to conquer in the
battle of today you will have to blow
your trumpet in a firm and steady
way. IT you foot your little whistle
and lay aside your horn, there's not
a soul will ever know that such a
man was born. The man that owns
his acres is the man that plows all
day, and the man that keeps hum,
ming is the man that's here to stay.
But the man who advertises with a
sort of sudden jerk, is the man who
blames the printer because it does
not work. The man who gets the
business uses brainy printers ink,
not clatter or sputter, but an
ad, March that makes you think;
and he plans his advertisement as
he plans his well-bought stock, and
the fortune of his business is as
S lid as a rock"

This morning,at about 5 O'Clock
what might have been fatal shoot
ing scrape occurred in front of the
Brilliant cafe, on Wells street.
The facts in the case are about
as follows: John Henderson and
Frank Weekly were out together,
and both were drinking during the
night. This morning at parting
they became involved in quarrel,
when Henderson drew his gun and
fred.
The bail took effect in the arm
just above the wrist, making very
painful wound. We are informed
that no bores were broken by the
bullet and it was merely an ugly
flesh wound. Henderson is the son
of Robt. Henderson, Esq, while
Weekly is a popular driller.
Weekly's brother stated this
morning that they were undecided
about prosecuting Henderson. They
may settle the affair without having
Henderson arrested.
Weekly has been employed in the
Elk Fork field and just came to the
city last night.

SOME PARKERSBURGERS


Besides Many Church Societies in the
State and the Validity of the COnsti-
tuition Are Concerned.
A case of local interest was before
the supreme court at Charleston
and it is important because it raises
the point of the constitutionality OF
a section of the state constitution.
The case referred to is that of w.
E. Powell ct al VS.. the Secretary OF
State aud the plea of the plaintiffs
is briefly as follows:
Their petition sets forth that the
petitioners, w. Z. Powell, Dave D.
Johnson. John S. Stump, H. O.

and ]. H. Knapp, on January 10,
1898, applied to the secretary Of
state tor certificate of incorpora,
ton, the purpose of the corporation
being to conduct religious work
and procure the necessary authority
to receive requests, handle property
etc. The secretary of state, on the
advise of Attorney General Rucker
refused to issue them a charter or
the ground that the constitution
prohibits the chartering Of religion:
denominations or their separate
committees, etc.
The court issued a mandarin:
quasi to compel the secretary O.
state, w. M. o. Dawson. to appear
and show cause why he should no
be compelled to issue a charter tc

argued later on, probably at the
present. term. The mandamus ha:
not yet been served upon the secre

Other societies of other churches
are interested because upon the de-
