DAVIS COUNTY SCHOOLS.
Nearly All Are Closed For the Year
Appropriate Exercises


kaysville, May THE schools of the
Eighth district, comprising Kaysville
ana West Layton, closed their year,
MoIh- yesterday, and appropriate exer-
clseS We're rendered at the music hall
az III a. m, before a large audience of
the parents and friends of the pupils.
Ihe programme was an excellent one
many UNIQUE and pleasing features be-
ing introduced. One of these was a
ribton drill by the pupils of Miss Al
lens school, in the course of which q
little child representing Cuba knelt with
the Cuban flag held PROSTATE while the
stars and stripes waved protectingly
over her, and dozen children held
canopy of the national colors above
as if to shield her from harm Another
very interesting exercise was the spade
and rake drill by Miss Barnes pupils,
representing garden work, and per-
formed by a score of little tots, who
moved with the music. Professor H A.
Tuckett of Salt Lake conducted a mu-
steal exercise. The balance of the pro-
gramme consisted of duets, chorus
songs, Rotations, etc, every part be-
ing rendered in a creditable manner
superintendent Porter spoke briefly
at the close, commencing the work of
the teachers. During the afternoon the
children enjoyed a dance, and a bali
was given by the teachers in the even
ing.
Nearly all of the schools of Davis
county are now closed for the season.
Those of South Weber have been closed
for several weeks. The schools in Cen
terville closed on April Is, in Layton on
April %, in South Bountiful on April 20,
in Pennington on April q, and in East
Boz ntiful on May 6. South Hooper
schools will complete the full years
work, until June l. Superintendent
Porter says the reason schools are COM
PEELED to close so early is from lack of |
funds, a condition which certainly !
should be changed.

ANOTHER SHIP DESTROYER
TORPEDO NETS OF NO AVAIL
AGAINST 1T.
Halpine's Terrible Engine of De-
struction to Be Tested By the
Government-Its Description.

New York, May THE Halpine tor
| pedo boat lies in the shed at the long
dock at Willet's Point, all ready for
her trial trip before the engineer Of
ficers who are to pass judgment upon
her. She has been overhauled and put
in order during the last two weeks. Her
storage batteries have been placed
aboard, and she stands ready for ser
Vica.
She is built of copper, "a feet long
and two feet in diameter The body OF
the boat is cylindrical in form. Her bow
has the shape of a semi-ellipSoid, while
her stern has the shape of a cone. The
superior merit claimed for her by her
inventor, Lieutenant Halpine, formerly
of the United States navy, is that she
has the power to shoot her charge can
under a warship that has a torpedo net
out, that she carries her propelling
power aboard of her in storage batter
les, and does not need a dynamo on
land, and that she is a marvel of SIM
plicity.
She can be handled from any point,
and, if necessary, she can tow a small
boat after her, in which the operator
can sit at a distance of two and a half
miles and direct her movements. She
can run II miles, and be started, stop
ped and backed by only press
ing a small button. There are two wire
cables, each two and a half miles in
length aboard, which uncoil and con-
meet her with the operator. One of the
cables controls the boat, while the other
steers her.
She carries two lights, which reflect
their lights backward, so they are seen
by the operator only, and not by the
hostile ship, keeping the operator in
formed as to the actions of the boat.
If one is above the other, she is going
ahead. If sideways, she is making for
the stern or bow of a warship. No light,
the boat has stopped. She runs with
but three inches showing above water,
and can be submerged to 10 feet.
Extending from her bow is a long
spar, with two arms extended. Extend
ed again from these is q steel harpoon,
with two arms lying fat. The harpoon
is forced through the net, the arms, I'M
looSened, spring up on the inside of the
net and keep it fastened there. The
open arms of the spar strike the net on
the outside, and drive the spar back |
into the boat, which strikes the trigger. |
The can, attached to the harpoon by |
chain, falls and is swung under the |
vessel to be destroyed. At the same !
time the leather cap is torn off the |
tube of the charge can. This action I
let's out the potassium, which, on meet
ing with the water, ignites the rocket,
expelling the gas from the can, and ex-
Dloding the charge can.
Meanwhile the boat itself has been
backed out of danger, and returns to
he operator only minus harpoon
;hain and can. The speed of the Hal
pine is 19 knots an hour.

ATRAvELING MAN
Gives Some Valuable Hints Regard
ing the Care of the Health While
Travelling.

! Mr. r. W. Wincherdon, a commercial
traveller from Birmingham, whose busI-
ness keeps him almost constantly on
the road. relates in the Sunday News
the dangers to health resulting from
/ constant change OF. residence and the
effects
! He says: One thing people travelling
cannot very well avoid is the constant
change in water and food; the ston-
acn never has an opportunity to be-
come accustomed to anything and in
a few years or much sooner the aver
age travelling man becomes a hopeless
dysneDtic.
For several years 1 suffered more or
less from indigestion, sour stomach,
headaches, distaste for food. often no
appetite, gas on the stomach and the
usual unpleasant effects of imperfect
digestion
Nearly every travelling man las his
favorite remedy for different troubles
and l tried all of them with Indifferent
results. Finally. on the train between
P1ttsburg and Philadelphia one day, L
overheard a conversation between two
ladies, one of whom mad suffered Sc
Verely from indigestion and stated she
had been completely cured by rem
edy which she called Stuart's Dyspep-
sla Tablets: l remembered the CONVEX
sation because it directly interested
me; and at the next town I inquired
at the first drug store and bought a
package for 80 cents, and from that
day to this 1 have never been without
them. They are pleasant tasting tab
lets, not secret patent medicine, but
composed of vegetable essences, pure
pepsin. fruit salts and Golden Seal;
being in tablet form they never lose
their good qualities like a liquid medi-
cine would, but are always fresh and
ready for use
| carry a box in my pocket continu-
ally. and whenever l see any symptoms
or Indigestion I take one, also one after
each meal, and for a year and half
l nave not lost a day by reason of poor
health and can eat anything and relish
what L eat; my digestion is absolutely
perfect as far as l can judge from my
FEELINGS and although there may be
other stomach medicines just as good
as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, [ do not
know what they are. Certainly for
people who travel they are far ahead
of any liquid medicine, as they are so
convenient. they can be carried in the
pocket and used whenever needed.
believe they are sold by all druggists
at 80 cents, and believe anyone who
will try them will agree with me, that
for indigestion and stomach trouble |
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are un-
equaled.

Chicago. May MAY wheat advanced
to 1.70 per bushel on the board of trade
today. 1t closed at Lei, a net advance for
the week of exactly so cents per bushel.
Joseph Letter has apparently proven
himself complete master of the situation,
with entire control of the available wheat
supply, and the shorts are at his mercy.
Another surprising advance at Liverpool
today started the wheat market here
strong and drove from the minds of local
scalpers Tor the time being, all thought OF
the big reaction they were calculating
upon with great confidence the day be-
tore. July, which closed yesterday at
l.0l, opened with buyers at from 1.02i4Q
1-03. and in the course of 40 minutes 1t
sold up TO 1.0i3s without material set
back September in the same time rose
from around S41s and So, where it hung
during the first 20 minutes to S5A, its
closing price yesterday having been 1875.
May started only &c higher or at 1.50 The
next short to come in, however. did it
at 1.55.
The advance in May wheat at Liver
pool was equal TO 31ac a bushel and in
July 5s- The quotations per Genital at
Liverpool showed the price of May wheat
to be bringing the equivalent of 1.54A,
July 1.43A, September Liz and Deem
Der 1.03A. Frantic efforts to buy the
golden cereal began again after brief
rest at LOS for July and 1.55 for May.
The market got at last where bearlsh
reports no longer influenced it. 1t be-
came mere matter of disappearing
margins with shorts and aggressive con-
1dence with longs.
July rushed up from around Los to LOG,
dropped in two minutes back to 1.051s and
five minutes after it was bringing 1.O61s.
In the last 10 minutes of the session it
surged up and down in great swelling
pillows of excited trading between Los
and 1.06s4, the closing bell tap cutting it
short when 1.063s was the current price.
May after reaching 17O, closed at 1.67 an
advance of 171z cents for the day. The
net gain in July was 52s; September rose
to S71z, and closed at S1A, or $3.50 net ad-
vance. Letter reported cash sales of $780,
900 bushels No. northern to Ohio
millers.'
The trade in corn was not much more
active than usual, but it sympathized with
wheat. The days advance was 1c in May
and y in July.
Oats ruled firm on light trade, May
closing &c higher and July &c higher.
Provisions had the Liverpool market to
contend with in addition to heavy receipts !
Of hogs and under the condition prices |
were maintained with difficulty At the |
close July pork was sc lower for the |
lay and lard and ribs each 21ac higher
me leading futures ranged as follows:
