He was quite al athlete, of chival-
rous bearing aud had many warm
friends in this city who sincerely
mourn his death in that far off couE-
try. Large Of heart and of fine APP
pearance, he certainly deserved a
better fate than to have fallen at the
hands OF ~OarbarOus nalVeS OF a els
tunt island. Those vino are welded
to the present administration should
blush with shame when they see the
| best Of u yOung lei in the prime
Of manhood shot down for no good
purpose. The life Of such a true
heroic fellow Us Win Smith, is worth
a million Of the half naked vayabonds
whom Mckinley is trying to subdue,
and it seems a burning disgrace
that many OF the country's bravest
sons should be sacrificed On SO
lynODle an alLar.--DeadwOOd hide

And nov comcs Prof. Cook of the
~Spcartish Normal and says that the
report Of a petition asking fer the
closing OF the school of mines is
false, that nosuch paper has circu-
Iated at Speartish, We are thorough

would probably have no effect, at
Pierre, it would certainly not b,
creditable to SpAarish and that
