| cannot too strongly impress upon you my
earnest wish that this committee shall be
OF such high character as will command
the complete confidence of the country ,and
trust you will consent to serve.
William Mckinley"
No sooner had the personnel Of the COM
mittee been announced than there was a
lively protest on the part of the democratic
press. Because five of the committee are
republicans the cry of "packed Jury" was
raised, and the president charged with Sc
lecting men who under no circumstances
would criticise Secretary Alger or the ad-
ministration. This demonstrates that the
charges of incompetency, criminal neglect,
ETC., against the war department emenate
from democratic source, and that lively
effort will be made to convert criticism into
a campaign issue.

All of the grand and petit jurors except

In the afternoon jury was called in the

the county court and two in the supreme
court. 1t involves matter of accounts

A Democratic Ruse.

The American people are learning few
things regarding the critics OF the manage
ment OF the Spanish American war they
are discovering that the critics for the most
part are democratic politicians who
are desperately endeavoring to create
an issue for the next presidential
campaign. These politicians and their
newspaper organs have persistently
demanded an investigation of the war
department, and to this the adminIstra-
ton has consented and the president offered
positions on the investigating committee to
the following nine men last Saturday Lieut..
Gen. John M. Schofeld, Gen. John B.

What El Captain Is.

sci Captain" is described as a comic
opera and is the joint work of John Philip
Sousa, the emine mt conductor, universally
known as "The March King" and Charles
Klein, young and talented author. The
action Of the opera takes place in Peru, a
country of romantic sentiment.
King Philip Of Spain has, for state rea-
sons, appointed Don Medigua viceroy of
Peru instead of Don LUZ Cazarro, whom
he has summarily removed. Upon the
new viceroys arrival in Peru, he discovers
that Cazarro, the ex-viceroy, is at the head
of well-organized army Of Peruvian in
surgents to deprive him of his viceregal
auth ority. Seeing himself in immediate
danger, Don Medigua declines to publicly
pose as viceroy and appoints one Pozzo,
poor dependent, to act as the kings rep
sentative instead of himself thus Pozzo's
lite is constantly in danger, while Don
Medigua, the real viceroy, joins the insur-
gents under the nom de guerre Of Ell Capt.
tan for the purpose Of finding out how mat
ters are, so as to be on both sides. Once
in the enemy's camp, Don Medigua, who is
masquerading as Ell Captain, spends money
freely and acquires an eminent reputation
as fighter, mainly through reports which
he circulates himself and finally, when the
viceroy's palace is attacked, Ell Capitar
himself leads the mob, captures Pozzo
accuses him of being the newly appointed
viceroy and gags him to prevent him ex
posing his real identity, and, having wo,
the plaudits of the gentry by his generosity
and bravado, he becomes the hero of the
hour.

the viceroy, and Eel Captain, the fighter, to
be one and the same person.

she met a middle-aged, very respect

ar in the primary So scholars. This made
it necessary to take out the highest class 10
the intermediate but which had not COM
pleted the WORK of that room by one year as
it should be to take up higher studies.
This class was placed in Mr.. Smiths room
but to finish the grammar course so as to be
ready to do thorough high school work
another year. 1t is hoped another room can
be established next year so as to have four
departments, which it was found could have
been very satisfactorily done at this time had
the means been available. The lower room
in the high school building could be easily
adapted for that use.
The other departments were then, re-
classified with view to putting the whole
course on solid foundation, which is lor 6
step in the right direction and will aid in
bringing about, it is believed, as thorough a
graded system as is found elsewhere.
1t is believed the mileage system is work
ing very we'll, very few complaints so far be-
ing heard from those effected by it. The
system is now being adopted by most towns
in the state so situated as to make the C III
solidation of schools necessary. 1t is some.
what of an experiment here but it is hope q
parents will try to help make it a success.

smoothly and satisfactorily.
