From the Conneaut News.
A half-starved. ragged knight of the
road strolled down one of Conneauts
principal streets a few mornings ago.
Every now and then he would knock
at some back door in quest of crust
of bread. He met with receptions more
or less tender according as he struck
the home of the big hearted citizen or
misery hanger-on of the town. Final
ly he came to a residence from which
physicians sign was croaking out
soul thrilling music as the sweeping
November wind swung it to and fro.
The noise attracted the tramp, and he
thought to himself that doctors are al
ways kind-hearted fellows. So he
walked to the kitchen door and raped.
A domestic flung open wide the portal
and greeted him with pleasant smile.
Mr. Tramp told his piteous story of
hunger and wretchedness, and his tears
met a warm response in the eye of the
kind lady and a good breakfast was
set out for the wanderer. He partook
of the meal in silence, but was evident
ly deeply thinking. Here was more
kindness than he had encountered be-
fore for weeks. He thought of his rags
Doctors always dress well, he reasoned,

Firefiy's Lights.

In a communication to the Scientific
American by c. NJ. Broomall of Media,
Pa, on the light of the FREELY, the
conclusion is expressed that the light
contains invisible Photographic rays
from the extreme violet end of the
spectrum, in addition to the ordinary
light rays. In regard to the construc-
ton of the light producing apparatus,
Max Schultz's statement is cited,
namely, that this organ in the glow
worm consists of a pale, transparent,
superficial layer. whose function is less
obvious. The italian FREELY, both the
male and the female of which are lu-
minous, has been examined, and, as
in the glow Worm, the organ consists
of two layers. 1t has also been found
that the ultimate branches of the ira
chea, or air tubes are distributed
through the photogenic apparatus,
nerve ibers being also present In con-
nection with the cause of the light two
very peculiar facts appear, namely,
that carbonic acid extinguishes the
light and oxygen intensifes ft-facts
which, in conjunction with the known
distribution of air tubes in the photo
genie body, are thought to point very
strongly to the probability of the
lights being the result of some form

as there were none here to be had it

There is no precedent, however, for

live in hopes of being promoted when
occasion arises, l hope that it won't

vote, even if by his vote a tie should

A CHORD OF D|SSENT|ON
at the Meeting of the Board OF
II, Education.
"A NIGHT OF EXCITEMENT
The Usually Serene Members of the
Board tangled Over the Appoint
sSj ment of Principal OF the
ts Adamo School.

At the meeting of the board of edu-
cation last night a faint, yet quite per-
ceptible echo of an old chord of dissen-
tion in the old board manifested it
self and the usual serene and some
times jovial session was not the order.
Nay, nay, there We're some things
Which, when added together and sub
tracted from the whole and the result
divided into five parts, made a night
of excitement and deftly concealed
anger. 1t all arose over the appoint
ment of Miss Downey's successor as
principal of the Adams school. Miss
Downey is the newly elected superin-
tendent of county schools.
THE matter had previously been re-
ferred to the teachers committee, which
is composed of Messrs. Lane, Clinton
and Burke. Lane and Burke favored
the appointment of Miss Burt, assist
ant superintendent of the Adams
school. Clinton favored Miss Mullins,
late county superintendent of schools.
Clinton submitted minority report
and DoraiS moved for the adoption of
it. Clinton seconded.
Mr.. Burke is a representative from
Silver Bow in the legislature and he
was absent. There was considerably
random talk before the main question
was put. On roll call Miss Mullins was
elected, the vote standing: Miss Null
3lins--Clinton, Dorais and Mcdonald.
Miss Burt-Lane and Long.
Thanks to the Legislature" ,retorted
Mr.. Lane when the result of the vote
was announced.
I'VE must abide by the decision of
the majority - said Chairman Long.
a"For myself, 1 don't think outsiders

teachers comprising the regular list of
substitutes. If we establish such pre-
cedent there will be nothing for the ad-
vancing teachers to look and work for
We are not here to pay political debts
I think, however, that Miss Mullins is
good teacher Pvt Miss Burt, who
has risen to the position of assistant
principal, will, bv the action of the
board, be given to understand that her
services as principal are not wanted
That is not our purpose. We have al
ways selected teachers from our regu-
lar list for promotion. But, gentle
men, the matter has been decided by
the majority and we must take our
medicine"
During the course of Chairman
Longs remarks, Mr.. Clinton sendeav-
ored to Get word in between breaths,
but the chairman reminded him that
he could talk as; soon, as he (Long)
finished.
MY explanation for my vote is this:

in the news but shortly after the opening
it became, evident that most of the heavy
bull traders were convinced that a reac-
ton was due and that the ruling prices
justified profit-talzing. There was also
the selling of wheat by the class of spec
ulators who invariably put out short
lines after Jan. /. Bull news was plenti-
full later in the session, but in the mean
time the selling movement had become
general. professional short sellers adding
not a little to the weakness the market
developed by pounding it vigorously.
Before noon a very material decline had
taken place. May reached 702sc shortly
after noon. Weakness that developed in
corn was given good deal of attention
by wheat traders and affected prices more
or less. Expectations in regard to the
visible decrease were realized, the figures
showing q decrease of 1,s90,000 bushels.
This steadied the market. Near the close
May rallied to 705s@704c an closed at
that price.
Corn was active and weak. Gables were
weak and lower and receipts were large.
The feature was the closing out of a large
line of long corn, showing good profits,
which caused a sharp break in prices.
May closed 7sG1c lower.
The market for oats reflected corn in
every particular. There was heavy liqui-
dalton and the market was weak from
the start. May lost 5s@ac.
Provisions until late in the day showed
good deal of firmness. The market
finally broke in sympathy with wheat
and corn, but toward the close support
again developed and part of the decline
was recovered. AT the close May pork
was about 10c lower, lard sc lower and

He replied that he would pay as soon

terday the company sent one of its
servants to shut the water off. The
patron armed with a shotgun met him
and asked him if his salary justified
him in mourning unnecessary funeral
expenses. The servant replied that it
did not; he was not hired to go to war
and he would let General Sherman turn

REMARKABLE OPERATIONS
Some Methods of Surgery Not
Found In The Books.

A Brooklyn, n. V, physician recently
performed a remarkable operation, says
an exchange. y little girl swallowed a
screw one and a half inches long. A
surgical operation would have en-
dangered the child's life. The doctor
took some fine strands of raw silk and
mixed them with some bread, which the
girl was induced to swallow. He
waited eight minutes for them to re-
vOlve in the stomach. Then he pulled
on the threads and the screw came
out, having been enmeshed in ne silk.
This reminds one of the PHI nix man
whose little boy while pla-- .g one day
swallowed a button. The father, who
had great presence of mind, immedi-
ately tied a buttonhole on the end of a
string and made the young man sWal-
low it. Presently the parent felt a
twitch on the line same a she did in
the good old days when he used to go
fishing and got "a bite" A moment
later he landed the button.

We SHOULD PROFIT
BY EXPERIENCE.

Do you remember the past years how
you have put off buying your heater
until you woke up one morning dread
so cold and your legs shook so you
could scarcely get your pants on, and
when you ate breakfast you spilled the
coffee because your arm shook like an
aspen leaf and your wife made it all
the colder with the look she gave you,
and all this because you put off get
ting your heating stove until you just
had to have it, and then when you got
down town there were a hundred other
people just like you, all wanting
heater up in fifteen minutes? Now
you know this is just the experience of
hundreds of people every fall. Now
don't you think the wise thing for you
to do would be to come around to our
store during this week and pick out a
stove and have it set up in shape for
the first cold snap.
We have fine line of Chicago hot
blast air-tight heaters. Also the finest
