The School Board did exactly right
in refusing to change the usual time
for the closing of the schools of this
city, by granting one weeks va
cation, and then extending the term
one week later in the spring. The
longer the school term runs, the
warmer the weather becomes, and the
more unpleasant for the scholars.
The teachers generally opposed the
change.

Those Martinsburg Bonds.

The people of this city, the taxpay-
ers. insist on knowing the true in
wardness of this bond business. They
desire to know why they should be
longer burdened with heavy interest,
why improvements, necessary and
prudent. should be endangered, by
reason of the failure to pass the recent
bill before the Legislature, to fund
said bonds. There have been charges
and counter charges. Why did this
bill die premature death in the Sen

labored faithfully for the passage OF
the bill. 1t is true his expenses were
paid by the council. That was per-
fectly proper. The blame for killing
this bill rests elsewhere. Perhaps
our genial State Senator can explain
the matter, for he was cautious and
watchful. Tell us, Senator, all about
the affair. The people will thank
you. Or, if you do not know, tell us
who does. Please now, do. that this
whole business may be made plain tc
the people and to the taxpayers of oul

How is Your Grip?

Not getting along as we'll as you
expected? That is the way grip acts
when it is not taken in hand and
driven out of the system at once.
The poisons lett by the grip germs
keep right on destroying the vitality
and undermining the health. You
lose your appetite for food and what
little you eat seems to do no good.
Your nerves are ur strung, you be.
come weak and overpowered by some
chronic disorder which takes you to
an untimely grave.
Why should you let the grip run
until it gets such a hold on you when
few bottles of DR.. Miles Nervine
would fix you up all right? 1t is the
greatest nerve medicine and health
restorer ever known and thousands of
the grips victims are finding in it a
safe and sure means of regaining lost
strength and vitality.

stomach, and every time tried to eat

The Affairs of Freyschlag, Huffman L. Co.
to be Aired in Court Again.
The Simmons Hardware Co. of St.
Louis last week commenced an action
in the district court at Anaconda against
E. G. Freyschlag, Joseph A. Hyde,
Frank Durand, James Patten, j. M.
Merrill, John P. Rains and H. T. Mahan,
for the purpose Of obtaining an account
ing of the affairs of Freyschlag Huff
man & Co., a corporation which failed
in business here in 1878. The plaintiffs
hold judgment of $1,059 20 against
the defendant company, but have been
unable to find any property upon which
the same could be enforced. A cOnspir-
acy on the part of the defendants is al
legged and fraud is charged. The court
is asked to compel the defendants to
give an accounting for all the property
and profits received by them, and to de.
liver to the plaintiff and other creditors
of the defunct company their proper
tiOnal share Of such property and profits.
The complaint recites brief history
Of the transactions of Freyschlag Huff
man q Co., most of which has already
been published. The case promises to
become quite interesting, as all of the
defendants named are we'll known in

has suffered intense pain. Three physi-

operation for the purpose of removing
an abscess which had formed under his
skull where the fracture had occurred
several years ago, but on Monday after.

his house to operate, they found an
other complication which would not
permit the operation to be performed
at that time. Mr.. Mcleod is suffer-

worried more or less over his condi-

Mr.. McLeod's many friends will be
extremely sorry to learn Of his atflic-

his recovery will be speedy, even more
so than he himself anticipates.

AFTER COPPER PROPERTIES.

Senator Ciark's Expert in Shasta County,
California.
A dispatch from Redding, California,
of July 25th says: 1t is evident that Sen
ator w. A. Clark, the copper king of
Montana, is trying to secure a copper
property in Shasta county. Clark's ex-
pert, f. K. Wilson, was on Saltwater
creek, eleven miles from Redding, Mon
day, examining 16O acres Of rich land
belonging to j. P. Rathbun. The en-
tire property is covered with remark
able gossan groupings, which assay 81
per cent copper. The property has
never been developed. Copper sulpiide
was rea he'd at 100 feet ut the Iron
Mountain mine in the shallowest place
while at the Rathbrm property it is
reached at 30 feet
Expect Wilson declared that If the
property bears out indications it is the
biggest he ever saw Wilson has gone
to Los Angeles to consult with h. III.
Heron, wealthy man, who will be
interested with Senator Clark if the
property is purchased. 1t is certain
that Clark wants a foothOid here and

sayed, runs 80 per cent. copper, and the
probabilities are that he will make a
nice cleanup on the shipment. He has
a good lead and is working it with the
assistance of his son.
Aside from the copper property men
toned above, Mr.. Rhodes has discovered
and located an excellent gold claim
upon which he has done some work. He
says it runs from pay rock to over 1900
in gold per ton, and from all indica-
tions it is likely that Mr. Rhodes will
make cleanup of some money during
the next few months.
Mr.. Rhodes has been unusually for
tunate in the discovery of good proper
ties in Granite county during past years.
He was the discoverer of the Sunrise
gold property, which is known to be
one of the best and richest in the State.
He also discovered the Rhodes property
in Princeton district, upon which Jasper
Huffman and others are now operating,
besides number of other prospects
and mines of lesser Importance.

Superintendent N. B. Ringeling is to

work about the prospective change and
several prominent mining men of this

a subject of speculation.

Work In the Hay Fields stopped by Heavy
Rains and Hail Early in the Week.
There has been a succession of light
ming storms since last Saturday even
ing, accompanied by heavy rains and
hail. which has caused a suspension of
operations in the hay fields in many
places. Saturday night this city wit
messed perhaps, the heaviest thunder
storm of the season, those following on
Sunday and Monday evenings We're
none the less in severity, Many trans
formers We're burned ont and the tele-
graph and telephone lines sustained
considerable damage. Tuesday night
the electric lights had to be put out for
a while, i'll order to save transformers
about the city. Lightning struck III
several places i'll the outskirts of the
city, but so far no serious damage has
been reported. The storm Of Tuesday
night was accompanied by hail, which
was followed by a heavy rain almost
resembling clOudburst in some parts
of the city. The rain poured down in
torrents and the cutters on both sides
of the street resembled small creeks.
Not withstanding these heavy showers,
which occurred nearly always in the
evenings or during the night the
weather was fine during the daytime
and the sky sufficiently clear to warrant
the several Sunday schools to hold their
annual picnics. The damage to hay
which was laying in the fields is light,
as nearly every one suspended cutting
for the time being. On the other hand
the grass which was left standing was
much benefited by the rain and will yet
grow considerably.
