THE SCHOOL BOARD.
New Members get together and
Organize for Business.

II. Pickenpaugh is elected President
and w. H. Bailey, Secretary City
Superintendent Brand is re- reelected
There are many applicants-A Board
OF Examiners App0inted--Ex
lions will begin the first Monday in
August-The new building and its
Completion Eight Months School
next Year.
The new school board has taken
up the the reins of government for
the independent district and has
gotten down TO work. They have
held their first meeting and have or
gained themselves tor the transac-
ton of business. The members of
the board are; Drs Brock and Fitch
and Messrs. L. Pickenpaugh, w. II.
Bailey and Col A. Fairchild
The first step that was taken was
the election of officers. This result
ed in the choice of I. Pickenpaugh
for president and w. FL. Bailey for
secretary. Both of these men are
eminently qualified tor the discharge
of the duties of the positions to
which they have been elected and
they will aid the board very mater
tally in the work which it has before
it during the coming year.
This having been done the matter
of a city superintendent was taken
up. There was great many appli-
cants for this place but after can
yassing the field the board decided
to re-elect Prof. Harvey Brand who
has SO acceptably filled the place for
the past seven or eight years. There
was no mistake made in this selec-
tion as Prof. Brand is a hard CON
scientious worker and a man who
is in every way fitted for the duties
of the position.
The board designated Prof. L E.
Hodges OF the University and Miss
SADIE Coyle together with the city
superintendent to conduct the ex-
animation for.~the teachers of the
school. This examination will be
held on the first Monday in August.
The board decided that next year
that there was to be eight months
school and that new room was to
be added to those already establish
ed. This will make it necessary to
elect one MORE teacher than they
had last year. There is great
number of applicants but it is not
generally thought that there will be
many changes as the members of the
teaching force have been doing earn
est, faithful work and the board is
to keep them where they
can have the benefit of the exper-
fence which has been gained
Some of the members think that
they will be able to get into the new
school building by the first of No
vember but the rest are of the opin-
ion that it will be the first of the
year before the building is ready for
occupany and they will have to rent
rooms for part of next year to ac-
the pupils.
The rest of the business which !
was brought up was laid over until
the next meeting which will take
place on next Tuesday night.

ocean disaster confirm the
first reports. The loss of life
was about what it was stated
to be. The fact that but one
woman was saved from the
wreck of La Bourgogne is a
terrible commentary on the
chivalry of the men who were
saved.
Seven Spaniards who have
been firing into ambulances
have been caught and they
will likely be executed. Many
wounded men have been shot
by them.
Cervera and the Spanish off
GERS with him who were cap
tured when the fleet was de-
stroyed will be brought to
Boston and confined at Fort
Warren.
The Russian news papers
say that it is time for interven-
ton and that the terrible war
should be stopped.
Negotiations are in pro-
gress for the exchange of Hob
son and his men. The basis
of the exchange has not yet
been arranged.
Fifty prisoners on the Har-
ward obtained arms in some
way and last night attempted
to escape. Six of them were
killed by the guard and fifteen
wounded and the rest gave
up.
The House annexation res
olution for the annexation of
Hawaii has passed the Senate
by a vote of AZ to 81. 1t only
waits the signature of the
President to become a law
and the island will be added
to the territory of the United
States. This is a radical de-
parture from the principles
of our fore-fathers and marks
the beginning of what has
proven with every other ma
ton that has ever existed but
the beginning of the end.
The Alfonso XIII was sunk
while trying to run the block

All operations at Santiago
have been delayed by a ter
rible storm which we stated
yesterday was supposed to be
raging at the time down there.
Next Sunday has been desig-
mated by the President in a special
proclamation as day of thanks
giving on the recent glorious vic
tories. 1t will be httingly observ-
ed everywhere.
