TOLEDO PUBLIC SCHOOL.

Several of the pupils hive been
absent this week, but we hope that
they will all have good reason for
doing SO, for we certainly would
not like to say of any of our school
mates that they are so lazy that
they would not come to school, be-
cause then they would have to
study. There can be nothing more
interesting than our school.
Chas. Hyde returned to school
on Monday. He has been absent
for some time, having to wait on
his sick parents.
Miss Taylor was very glad to see
Nora Krogstad back to school
again. Nora has been sick for
several weeks.
Professor Lowther, Geo. Cham
bers and Mrs. Copeland were visitors
in the intermediate room last week.
Miss Taylor is preparing pro-
gram to celebrate the anniversary
of President Lincoln's birthday.
Miss Collisions pupils have near
ly all returned to school again,
although they cough quite hard
yet.
Professor Lowther made a short
visit in Professor Holm's room
Thursday, January 26. He enter
tanned the school for a short time
by singing two songs, which the
whole school appreciated.
Most of the eighth grade are pre-
pairing for the teachers examina-
tion next week.
We are very glad to say that a
large number of the patrons of the
school visited us last Friday; and
we wish to thank them for their
kind attention and words OF en-
couragement.

ChitwOOd Chips.

This morning we find "Old
Mother Earth" with "her night
cap on" Just enough to make the
ground white. The most we have
had this year here and we expect
1t will be gone before night.
AS tar as we can learn all those
afflicted with the grip are convalesc-
Ing. Uncle Jimmie and Aunt
Margaret Chitwood are much better
but improve slowly. Grip is hard
on old people.
Last Sunday some dogs chased a
deer down to the railroad water
tank, caught and killed it, then
went off and left it, where it still
lies unSkinned and unclaimed. 1t
looks like fine 2-year-old doe. 1t
is said the dogs were quite sick
when last seen. This seems to be
a very unhealthy locality for dogs
at this season of the year-that is,
dogs that chase deer. 1t was in
deed pitiful to hear that poor deer
bleat and try to get away. 1t was
enough 10 almost stir a heart of
stone. The dogs tearing into its
flesh while yet it lived. People
who own dogs that they know will
run deer when they get out ought
to keep them tied up at home. 1t
is shame for the deer 10 be killed
off that way and 10 one to get any
good of them. Such persons could
be severely punished by law. We
hope this will be the last time the
like will ever occur in this neigh
borhood.
February starts in with fury"
but we hope that fury will not last
long.
Claude Wilson seems to be having
hard time getting over the grip.

TIE SAMOAN SITUATION
The Transport Badger Arrives at
Honolulu With the Samoan
Commission Aboard.
Form Of Government Decided on
Largely as Heretofore Outlined

Toral Court Martial Will Acquit
the Santiago Commander
Dewey at Naples.

San Francisco, Aug. 5.-The steamer
Mura, from Hong Kong. brings Honolu-
lu advices under date of July 30, which
state the U. s. S. Badger, bearing two
o the three Samoan commissioners, ar
rived Wednesday, eight days from Sa-
moa, on its way to San Francisco. On
board are Bartlett Tripp, United States
commissioner; Baron Won Sternberg,
representative of Germany. Commits
sioner Elliott sailed via New Zealand for
London to report directly to his govern
ment.
The commissioners declined at first
to state what form of government was
decided upon, but it is understood Sa-
moa in the future will be ruled by a
white governor, appointed by the three
powers. There will be native legisla-
ture, but the governor will have the
veto power and the chief justice will be
the final authority in the land, from
which there is no appeal. The arrange
ment met with the approval Of the Sa-
means. The day before the commission
sailed delegations from each faction
met on the Badger and signed articles.
Thus officially approving the arrange
ment. in the name Of their respective
chiefs, Mataafa ard Malietoa When
the commission sailed all was quiet and
seemed likely to remain so.

NEGROES NOT WANTED.
Cuban Papers Object to Proposed
Scheme of Colonization.

Cuban Papers Object to Proposed
scheme of Colonization.
Havana, Aug. 5.-The Democracia. of
Manzanillol. says: The proposition.
emanating from the United States. to
bring 100000 of negroes for Cuban
is beyond all right and
reason. Naturally the United States
desires to get rid of what is an in
cumbrance to the country and it may
be that under this pressure there are
those who fancy it would be possible
to make use of these negroes in Amer
icanizing Cuba. 1t looks as if the
Americans had launched themselves
here at a time when the Cuoans are ex-
hausted and unable TO resist
Ell Diario de la Manana, citing these
observations, asks Democracia what
remedy it has to propose. The Patria,
while rejoicing at the suppression OF
the Reconcentrado, deplores the fact
that any excuse has beed given to the
intervening government for having re-
course to the military law and says
that the civil law should be extended
TO protect individuals against such
treatment. Discussing the question of
an American protectorate the Discus
sion and the Patria say that Cuba is
sufficiently protected by the Monroe
doctrine.

report of Maj. carriere, who represents

report of Maj. Carriere, who represents
the government, the court will adjourn
to allow the defense time to study the
secret dossier. The trial Is expected to
be resumed Wednesday or Thursday,
A wave of disappointment swept over
those interested in the Dreyfus case on
the announcement that the presentation
of the secret dossier will form the COM
mencement of the trial, and that only
iDreyfus' lawyers and the council of
war will be allowed to participate in its
examination and discussion. 1t is be-
lieved that the study of these docu-
ments will last some days, practically
postponing the public trial for at least
a week, although the witnesses and au-
dience will be allowed to be present in
the large hall while the dossier Is re-
vealed in an adjoining room.
Gen. Chanoine, who has been in
trusted by the minister of war with the
charge of the secret dossier, has been
instructed to preserve it's ultra-s secrecy.
This dossier ranks third in Importance
as proof of Dreyfus' culpability, and is
composed mainly of a mass of forgeries.
Disclosure has been made Of a letter
which practically convinces even the
avowals of guilt. This interesting let
ter was sent by the prisoner to Du Patty
de Clam. 1t shows how foreign to him
was any idea of avowing guilt. 1t was
written in 1895 from Devils island, and
was as follows: After my condemna-
tion. you came and found me, delegated
by the minister of war to do so. de-
clared to you again that l was inno-
!. =
imputed to me. You then promised in
the name of the minister to undertake
researches in addition to those promised
in your name to warn me if any fact
was revealed which could bring doubt
as to my culpability. Your word. as
given, is sacred to a soldier.
Strong in my innocence, await the
result of your promises"
The letter is in Dreyfus' own hand
writing and gives final and overwhem-
ing proof that he never made any avow-
ais of guilt. This letter settles one of
the most difficult questions in the case.

from Gen. Funston has been received
by ID. r. Anthony, Jr., of the Leaven-

the Kansas regiment left the firing line
for quarters in the city of Manila and
the general announces that he will stay
in the army until the war in the Philip
pines is at an end. Mr.. Anthony Is a
close friend of Gen. Funston, and the
letter, aside from matters of a personal
nature, says:
II am human enough to be very much
gratified by the way my advancement
has been received by my home friends.
care whole lot more for the good
wishes and good opinions OF the people
of my home state than for those of any
other section of Uncle Sans now wide
ly scattered domnions.
II have just returned from seeing off
to Manila the last of the war-worn and
battered Twentieth, and feel lonesome
with them gone. Their place in my bri-
gade is taken by the Ninth Regulars, a
fine regiment, 1000 strong.
II would like very much to go home
with my old regiment. but of course I
feel delicacy about asking to be mus
tered out before the war is over, and
really think that under the circum-
stances it is my duty to remain here.
II believe strongly in the justice of
this war. while regretting the circum-
stances that made it inevitable.
