SCHOOL TRUSTEES MEET


bills for the teachers on Saturday in
payment of the last two weeks sala-
ries due them. He was also authorized
to have a number of books from the
school library rebound.
Mr. Richards reported that num-
Der of books in the Washington build
ing had become lost while in the care
of various teachers. AS there is rule
holding teachers responsible for all
books while in their possession and re-
quiring them to pay for lost books I'M
less they could be satisfactorily ae-
counted for the board instructed the
clerk to deduct from the teachers next
due bills the amounts for which each
is liable.
On motion of Mr.. White the board ac-
cepted the bid of the Thompson Invest
ment company of $4,000 for the WASH
ington annex property.
Mr.. White suggested a change in the
method of checking up and passing on
bills and accounts against the district.
AT present all the work Of investigat-
Ing and checking bills is done by the
finance and auditing committee. He
suggested that as an ordinary and safe
business method eVery bill should be
first o. KID by the committee or by the
committee contracting the debt and
Mr.. Moulthrop, a member of the finance
committee, said he has made up his
mind not to indorse or sign any more
accounts or warrants unless such
check as suggested by Mr.. White is
adopted. A new rule to cover the mat
ter will probably be adopted at the next
meeting of the board.
Assistant Supervising Architect Kelly
reported that work on the new school
building was progressing very slowly
but satisfactorily as far as it went. In
answer to questions from the board, he
gave it as his opinion that the build
ing could not be completed by the 18th
of August. He asked the board for in
structions relative to the interpretation
he should put on certain specifications
in the contract, and the matter was re-
ferred to the building committee

ANOTHER LYNCHlNG.
Negro Woman and Her Husband Will
Probably Hang.


Atlanta, Ca, May SO.-Because of in
suitlng remarks made by the wife OF
Samuel Perry, negro, to the children
of J. Il. Proctor, a. white man, at Cam
eron in South Georgia, yesterday af-
tefnoon one of the most prominent
white men Of that section is dead, an
other is dying, third and fourth
wounded, and the woman and her hus-
band will probably both be lynched.
An armed posse of more than 200 men
is now searching the community for
Perry, and his escape is believed to be
impossible. That he will be lynched
there is no doubt. He may share the
same fate as Samuel Hose, and be
burned at the stake. Perrys wife was
caught this morning and is being well
held by the mob pending the capture
of her husband.
Perry's wife cursed and abused the
children of Mr.. Proctor during the alb
sence of their father, their mother be-
ing dead. The woman was abusing
white folks" in general.
Frank Evans, who heard her, stepped
up to rebuke the woman. AS he did
so Sam Perry rushed out of his house
with drawn revolver and began
shooting at Evans, cursing him all the
time. Evans fell at the first shot and
died without even a groan.
Mr.. Proctor then appeared on the
scene and was shot down, two bullets
entering his body. Proctor's son was
also shot at, but not hit.
Thomas Lee, another prominent citi-
zen, who was driving past in his bug
gy, ran toward the negro and was also
shot, but not seriously.
His revolver then being empty, Perry
began to reload it, but before he could
do so Brown Evans, a brother of the
murdered man, appeared at the head of
a posse of men, crying al the top of his
voice: He has Killed my only brother,
and I will kill him, if it takes me life
time!'
Perry ran, and though shot at by the
posse, escaped to the woods. His wife
had escaped during the fusillade and
excitement
All the railroad agents We're immedi-
ately notified of the murder and
crowds were organized at every station
to search for the negro. All night the
search continued, and to-day the posses
were augmented from every section of
the community. Squads are now sta
toned a mile apart in all the public
roads and at crossings. Every boat
landing along the1Savannah and Ogee-
chez rivers for miles each way is guard
ed and the county is ablaZe with ex-
element. 49,
Perry and his wife are desperate
characters, and since the recent lynch
ings have been unusually insulting to
the whites.

in speech before the Hamilton club
last night.
I am frank to state" he said, that
II 1t should fall to my lot to preside
over the house of representatives, my
method would differ from that of the
late speaker of the house. My method
would be to give to each member from
every state his full need of power and
responsibility. / believe it is due to
the constituencies of congressman, who
have faith in the ability and judgment
of their representatives that all con-
gressmen be allowed their proper part
In the framing of legislation. I believe
the responsibility will steady them for
proper action.
II believe the next speaker should
be thoroughly in harmony with the
administration. We live in an epoch
making period--a period of momentous
questions, many of them new and yet
unsolved. We have expanded already;
the question now is whether the presi-
dent shall receive the united support
of the people and congress 1t will be
my purpose to support the president
in his policy of progress. and ven
ture to say when the four years of
his term have passed away he will
see commercial prosperity heretofore
unknown"

IN SORE STRAITS.
Mr.. Lindsay Complains of the Alleged
Perfidy of n Friend.

Mr.. Lindsay Complains of the Alleged
Perfidy of n Friend.
Through lack of appreciation on the
part of the public and the alleged du-
plicity of supposed friend, the heroic
and tragic actor, Mr.. John S. Lindsay
found himself in sore straits last night.
Mr.. Lindsay called at police aheadquar-
tiers shortly after midnight and asked
to have one Roy E. Elvers arrested.
In explaining his reason for making the
request Mr.. Lindsay said he had once
upon a time employed Elvers as ad-
vance agent at the princely stipend of
50 per. Elvers had proved himself al
together too aesthetic for his job by ac-
tually refusing to post bills and it had
become necessary to let him out This
all occurred two years ago, and since
that time Elvers has come to Butte to
live. When Mr.. Lindsay's company ar
rived in Butte a few days ago Elvers
came around to renew acquaintance.
The past was forgotten and the TRACE
dian and his erstwhile advance man
became good f1fendsr again. Sunday
night MIR. Lindsay was in need of a
man to stand on the door and enlisted
the services of Elvers, who performed
the duty and settled with the theater
management turning in the shows per-
centage of the take with due regularity.
Last night Mr. Lindsay again needed
a man on the door and again drew Ell
vers into service. This time, however,
he was not so punctual in turning over
the shows part of the gross. Mr.. Lind
say said he had not seen Elvers since
he left him on the door and that ne
had in his possession the $50 that was
coming to the show. For this he would
have him arrested. Captain Leyden was
inclined to the opinion that Elvers. was
in all probability collecting some back
salary and declined to have the police
department used as collection agency,
but informed Mr.. Lindsay that he
would have to swear out warrant this
morning. Mr.. Lindsay then confessed
his real anxiety regarding the money.
He said he needed it to get his show
out of town, but Captain Leyden re-
fused to make the arrest without a war

Decline of Siam.

From the Boston Journal.
Siam has surrendered another slice of
her territory to France, and now, If prece-
dents count for anything, England will
present her claim for a bit equally large.
Not much remains of Siam, because of the
working of this system.

may be had here, so that after death,
when the body is moved here for prepare

Those who want the services at a church
may leave the body here, and have 1t
taken hence to the church direct. When
bodies are to be buried exclusively under
the auspices of a secular society, the
chapel answers every purpose. There arc

THE AMERICAN PLAN
Accurately Specifies the Type of Permf
nent Tribunal.

nent Tribunal
London, May S1.-The Daily Tele-
graphs correspondent at The Hague
says:
THE American scheme deals with the
entire question. Not only does it &C
curately specify the type of permanent
tribunal, but it also provides satisfac-
torily for the mechanism of such court
in all it's details. The Americans, how
ever, are willing to have the best fea-
lures of the British. American and Rus
sian proposals amalgamated in a no.
meogeneous whole. The Americans
propose that in the event of new facts
coming to light after a verdict such as
would justify fresh trial the case shall
be heard again by the same tribunal.

SCHEME OF MEDIATION


London, May 9O.-The correspondent
of the Daily News at The Hague says:
The Americans will submit to-mor-
row a scheme of mediation distinct
from their arbitration scheme. I un-
derstand it is entirely original and full
of new and ingenious and practical
ideas. The Americans refuse to con-
sent to compulsion in any category of
cases for arbitration or at any stage
of the proceedings, Disputes, there
fore, can only be referred to the perma-
nent tribunal by the desire of both liti-
giant states. They also hold that to
oblige independent states to enter into
binding treaties with each other would
revo1utionize the law and the Monroe
doctrine"

DISTILLERIES OF KENTUCKY
In Fair Way TO He Combined In One
Corporation,

Louisville, KY, Jan. 31.-The Evening
Pest today says: Word has been received
that the deal combining ali the important
distilleries in Kentucky into one great
corporation has been about successfully
concluded in New York City. 1t has been
known for some time that all the indi-
vidual owners had signified their willing
ness TO turn their plants over TO the new
company on the terms offered, and IL only
remained to secure the necessary capital
in New York. This. according 90 the
local distillers, has been accomplished.
The company is 10 De capitalized a.
So. 900, 600. of which s12o 900 Ss to be pre-
ferred and $50, cC0. 900 common stock. One
and one-half million dollars OF each kind
OF stock is 10 be retained in the treasury
and one million dollars in cash is also 10
be placed in the treasury for a working
capital for INN ediate use. The combin-
alton includes some sixty distilleries in
the various portions of the state with
outstanding bonds and between 1900, 600
and 10000 900 million gallons Of whisky
now in bond.
II is believed that the consolidation will
have a wonderfully strengthening effect
upon the entire whisky market and there
is already bullish feeling manifested in
the trade.

COUNCIL OF CANCELLATION
To settle Differences Between Blsh
pSpauiding md Dean Hart.

st. Louis, Mo, Jan. 31-As a council of
Cancellation, to decide question between
Bishop John Franklin Spaulding of Colo
roda and Dean Martin Hart of st. Johns
cathedral of Denver. five Protestant Epls-
copal bishops of dioceses contiguous to
that OF Colorado met here today. Those
present are Bishops NJ. n. Gilbert of
Minnesota, E r. AtwiH of West Missouri,
A. G. Carrot of Dallas, Texas, F. r. Mills
paugh of Kansas and D. 5. futile of ST.
Louis. The last named is acting as chair
man of the council.
The difficulty to be arbitrated began
thirteen years ago over the disposition Of
s., 800 raised by Dean Hart on an eastern
lecture tour. II was claimed by Dean
Hart that the money was paid on a s. 600
mortgage on JARVIS Hall, now the House
of Nurses for st. Lukes hospital in Den
yer. Bishop Spaulding denied any knowl-
edge of this, although a banker of Denver
claimed that the money had been paid 10
him in the bishops presence. AS a result
of the disagreement Bishop Spaulding has
RETAINED from visiting the cathedral as
required by the canon law Of the church
To settle the matter, Bishop Spaulding
asked for the council, which today ebgan
reading the written testimony presented
Neither Bishop Spaulding nor Dean Hart
IS present.

ment issues, good or bad, is being flied
with great rapidity. In other words, sup
ply is overtaking demand.
We do not profess TO know when II will
fully overtake it, or whether it has al
ready done so. But what every expe-
rienced man does know is. that a season
of excited stock speculation creates ficti-
tious values. that sooner or later these
bubbles must be punctured and prices
forced back 10 their proper level, ard that
when this happens. a large part of this
outside public" will be left with securities
in their hands. some OF them intrinsicaIly
worthless, others bought at a valuation
which may not be reached again in years
IL ever. We are not sure. however. that
this part of the result is by any means
misfortune. Considering the kind OF spec
ulative methods the outside public" still
persists in practising. in the face Of its
repeated experiences in the past. it is hard
to conceive what would become of legiti-
mate trade and industry If the non-pro-
fessional dabbler in stocks usually ended
his ventures with a profit.

COTTON.

New York, Jan. 31-The break of 21Ld3
points in cotton futures and the small
spot business at Liverpool caused a tenn
porary decline of 1 to points on the
opening call here. But the weakness was
temporary. Buying orders from outside
sources came in freely and turned the
market. Then the market settled back
again 10 about the lowest point under
foreign selling. The remote deliveries
showed relative weakness. The bulls
claimed that the indication of increas-
ing receipts was a temporary feature.
Outsiders continued buying today in the
face of the unfavorable Liverpool ca
bles. At HIS a. m. the market was
active, but nervous at a point or two

HOGS FIVE LOWER
Light Supply and:QuaIity Gen.
orally Low.
TOPS STICK TO 1892 ~
Only Two Cattle Sales But at
Good Prices.

The Wichita hog market yesterday
showed again signs of inherent and natu-
raj strength. Though the market was
lower. it was not so much lower as most
of the others, not did it reflect any sym
pathetic weakness to the extent that
might naturally be expected. The days
business was light, but it was all done
on basis Of cents lower. Other mar
kets reported weak to 10 cents lower, and
TO 10 cents lower all along the line
while comparatively this market was
strong enough to more than hold its own.
The best top price yet pair for hogs,
that placed on the closing sale of Satur-
day night, $3.6212, was again paid for i
fine bunch of 1l2 wagon hogs of heavy
weight and extra good quality. They
were all spayed sOws and young barrows
and were in well fattened condition. This
was Nhe only sale Of Importance during
the day There were three cars sold and
light line Of wagon stuff other than the
big herd mentioned above The car stuff
was of inconsiderate quality but sold
" ell The average weight showed up well
for them and was along with few
pounds Of the weight of the day before
and the same day last week. There was
h good demand, eastern order buyers be-
ing on the market for shipping hogs. Ev-
erythin9 on sale was taken and at the
best prices the grade of stock would war
rant. The severe weather prevailing all
over this territory since Friday night and
still continuing had the expected effect
Of diminishing receipts, and this mar
ket showed it no more than all the others
IN the storm belt. With more favora Bile
weather and the operating higher prices
of last week there would have been IN
douotedly small boom in the hog trade
The demand a all the points Including
Wichita has been keen and at this point
at least still remains so from one source
or another. The balance of the week will
no doubt show a normal line of receipts
in the hog division should the weather
amehorate soon. The hog pens were
cleaned out on the close last evening of
everything, even the skips and lights and
those Of rather common quality were all
disposed Of and more wanted. 1t was a
!lght day Of trading owing, of course. to
the small offerings, but il was active
enough while sale stock lasted
