Forecast Based on Last Years Results.
Last year there were 300 persons Of
school age in city district, and the rec
ords Of the Goodland school show an
enrolment Of 2s7; the per centum Of
attendance being nearly 90. This year
the number Of school age viii exceed
$50, and If there viii be as high per
centage Of enrolment for the school
year OF 1899 1900, the GoOdland schools
viii have an attendance Of about 335.
But there are q number Of young men
and women Of school age in Goodland
who have completed the high school
course. Making allowance for these, it
is not far from the truth to say that
this district is educating about 9s per
cent Of those between 3 and q years Of
age in need Of school advantages.
Owing to the crowded condition Of
the school, it is probable that the
board Of education viii be compelled
to exclude nonresident pupils unless
the outside districts furnish a teacher.
For such an emergency there is va
cant room in the city school building.

Hobo - Kept 90.

1t was way back in the los" said an
old engineer. 81 was pulling the Iimi-
ted east from Council Bluffs to Chica-
go over the Rock Island.
'sThe night was bitterly cold. We
were about 20 miles out and had stop
ped at a night Office for orders and had
started up again, when the fireman
reached over and said:
" There's a hobo on the pilot. Saw
him get on at the depot 'Sure?' said.
SO out on the running board and see
il he's there yet The fireman did as
he was ordered to do and returned with
the information that the hobo was still
there.
81 Well I said, it's bitter cold night
and if he can stand it out there am
willing he should ride with me-
"And we went toward Chicago with
old oil barking like sixty at the low
joints ahead, and forgetfuI Of our head
end passenger on the pilot.
"By and by, by the faint glimmering
Of the headlight, thought I saw ahead
what seemed to be a bunch of cattle on
the track
aAs We approached it the bunch
seemed to grow larger. It was now too
late to do anything, so I just pulled
her wide open and old I'll hit that
bunch Of cattle 'ks-bif'
ITO paraphrase the language Of Ten
nyson, who glides into raptures Of ad-
miration over the charge Of the Light
Brigade at BalakIsFa, there was just
simply cattle to the right Of rs, cattle
to the left Of US, and more in front

aAfter it was over our thoughts re-
verted to the hobo on the pilot. Go
out and see If he is still there said. 4"
"Well,n said an old brakeman, under
whose feet the frosts Of many winters
had cracked as he wended his way In
the dark over many long train Of box
cars, who had been listening to the
story, "Well," said be, SWas he killed." I

WAS A FAMOUS MAN.
John Russell Young, Late Librarian
of Congress.
Accompanied Grant Around the
World and Served His Country as
Minister to China-Began Life
as Copy Boy.

John Russell Young, librarian of
the congressional library, who died at
Washington, ID. c., January II, had
notable career as journalist, diplo-
matist, public official and the intimate
associate of distinguished public men.
He was born in bennington, Chester
county, Pa, November 20, 1871. The
family moved to Philadelphia, and he
was educated in the public schools of
that city. Later he went to New Or
leans, where an uncle lived, and con-
tinued his school work in the New
Orleans high school. Returning to
Philadelphia, he secured place on the
Philadelphia Press in 1857 as copy boy,
and from this dated his newspaper
work. When John w. Forney came to
Washington in 1864, to become secre-
tary of the senate, he brought along
Young, who by that time had become a
fluent writer. While acting as Col.
Forney's private secretary Mr.. Young
continued his writings to the Philadel-
phia Press, and it was by his descrip-
ton of the first battle of Bull Run that
he won his spurs as a graphic war cor
respondent. He followed the Army of
the Potomac to the end of the Chicka-
hominy campaign. In 1864 he accom-
panied Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks on the
Red river expedition. On returning he
became managing editor of the Phila-
delphia Press, which he resigned in
1865 to start the Morning Post, which,
however, was not success.
He had contributed to the New Yorl,
Tribune, and his pleasing style at
tracted the attention of Horace Greeley,
with the result that in 1866 Young be-
came managing editor of the paper with

tinuance of the work. About Is years

the sea in ships" for many years, came
to Kent and opened a store. After mer-

pretty little home near the village of
Pomona and started sawmill. Finally

ribs slowly assumed position, and win

Years passed. The first timbers began
to decay, and before the completion of

country President Arthur sent him In
1882 as United States minister. He re-
manned in China until the opening of
the first Cleveland administration,
when he returned to this country and
engaged in literary and business pur
suits.
When the new library of congress
was completed attention was directed
to the choice of librarian embodying
literary ability and executive manage
ment, and President Mckinley named
Mr.. Young on July 1, 1897. He entered
upon his duties while the library was
still in its cramped quarters at the cap
itol, and saw it expand into the classic
temple of thearts and literature which it
now occupies. The transition involved
not only a removal of vast stores of
precious volumes, but the complete re-
organization of the library staff. Mr..
Young directed all of this, bringing
about the change from the old to the
new with s1noothness and success. tits
said that his time had been spent in
part on a contribution to literature
which he had hoped to complete as the
chief literary achievement of his life.

which Greeley had been so long asso-
ciated. AT that time Young was only
Is years old. His leisure time was de-
voted to the study of the law, and in
1867 he was admitted to the bar in New
York city. In 1870 he again tried the
establishment of newspaper of his
own, this time the Standard. About
this time, however, Secretary Boutwell,,
who was at the head of the treasury de-
partment in President Grant cabinet,
induced Young to go abroad to look
into financial affairs. While abroad on
this commission the awful days of the
Paris commune occurred, and Mr..
Young's account of the rise and fall Of
the commune, and of the stirring days
through which the French capital
passed, is regarded as one of the best
examples of English descriptive writ
ing.
In 1872 he became the European rep
resentative of the New York Herald
and spent two years in London and
Paris and another year in work and
travel on the continent. In 1877 Gen.
Grant started upon his memorable
trip around the world, and on his invi-
tation Mr.. Young joined the party.
This made him for two years almost a
friend of the family of the great gem
eral, and a warm friendship sprang up
between them. After the return Mr..
Young wrote around the World with

During this trip Mr.. Young was spe-
cially interested in China. to which

Cleveland, June 23.--The hope OF a
settlement OF the street railway strike
was shattered last night when the
strikers. at meeting, rejected by a
unanimous vote the proposition sub
mitted by the company 20 the special
committee OF the city council. and TO
which the strikers committee had
agreed I'm the afternoon. The propo-
sltion Of the company states that II is
ready and willing to take back into its
employment. as II has ever been, such
OF its employees as its business de.
mands, aggregating at the present
time so per cent of such employees, and
as vacancies occur will give preference
20 such former employees, excepting
always those that have committed un-
lawful acts against the company. It's

ent strike
II was generally believed after the
conference of the representatives Of
the company and the committee Of the
strikers was concluded that the end
OF the strike would come this morning
and the action of the strikers last night
came as a surprise After rejecting
the proposition of the company the
strikers began the work OF drawing up
a proposition Of their own, which will
be submitted 10 the council committee
today.
