being used for school museum,
another for gymnasium, and in
time as the needs of the classes
require, another will be fitted up
for study and recitations. The
collection of minerals and other
metals for the museum last year,
has grown through liberal dona-
tions until it is assuming credit
able proportions and is already
worth much in dollars and cents.
The largest and most valuable gift
to the collection was made by Mr..
Emanuel McAninch. This con-
sists of a large and beautiful as
sortment of New Mexico minerals,
many of the specimens being par
ticularly fine, and represents a
value of several thousand dollars.
1t is known as the "McAninch
collection" in honor of the donor.

pupil can regulate to suit his purse;
a tuition fee of 81 per month is
charged those enrolled in the Nor
NAL proper; those who desire to
take typewriting and stenography
are charged 81 per month for the
former and 50 for the latter. In
addition to the departments here
mentioned and the course of stud

been established, which is attend

loss by the fire which destroyed the
business portion Of Bismarck Monday
night, is estimated at upwards of half q
million dollars with insurance about

CAPTAIN CLARK is SICK.

Ncws Came as a Shock to His Friends In
and Out of Navy.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. Captain
Charles E. Clark, commander of the
battleship Oregon, now in Cuban waters
of Santiago, has been invaded home.
The news of Captain Clark's illness
came as a shock to his Washington
friends in and out of the navy, who
have followed with interest his notable
trip from San Francisco around the
sHorn" to Florida and noted with added
interest the conduct Of the Oregon in
the battle with Admiral Cervera's
squadron.
Definite information concerning his
illness is not obtainable at the navy de-
partment. Secretary Long said last
night that Captain Clark had been
granted leave of absence on account of
sickness, but that he had no knowledge
OF how sick he was or from what dis
ease he was suffering.
1t is believed at the navy department
that Captain Clark is suffering from
some climatic affection, induced prob
ably by the tremendous strain under
which he has been for months.
Captain Clark entered the navy on
Sept. 20. 1860. He was commissioned
as captain on June 81, 1896, and took
command of the Oregon March II last.
he is powerful man, both physically
and mentally. He has never known
what it is to be sick, having had scarcely
DAVIS sickness in his lifatime
By the naval authorities he is re-
garded as one of the best equipped
officers in the service and his superiors
have the most implicit confidence in
him,
