members of the convention which
framed the present constitution of Hi
nois. He received an invitation from
one of the leading bureaus to lecture,

The New School House Contracted For.

The New School House Contracted For.
The board of education of Shep.
herdstown district has awarded the
contract for the erection of the new
building for the shepherdstOwn Grad
ed School to Cushwa & Small, con-
tractors, of Martinsburg. The price
is $10,58S.96, from which is to be de-
Quoted $500, the sum allowed for the
old school building.
The new building will be large
and conveniently arranged structure
containing ten rooms, assuring ample
accommodations for some time to
come. It will be SO feet long and IS
feet wide, two stories high, with base
ment under half of the floor space.
1t is to be of brick, with stone foun-
dation, Indiana stone base, slate
roof, with brick partitions. The
height of one story is y! feet
and of the other y feet. 1t is de-
signed to be heated by hot-air fur
naces, though these will not be put in
until later. The cornices will be Of
galvanized iron. a modern system Of
ventilation is provided for.
The building will be placed on The
lot occupied by the old structure, in
about the same place. The fine shade
trees in the yard will thus be pre-
served.
The contractors are allowed six
months from the signing of the con-
tract to complete the building, with
provision protecting them from de-
lay caused by unusually severe wealth
er. They expect to put large force
of hands at work and will push the
job as quickly as possible. Alex Hen
son, of this place, will furnish the
brick, of which 100000 are required.
Samuel P. Humrickhouse, Of Shep-
herdstown, is the architect. He drew
the plans and will superintend the
construction The contractors say
that they will employ as much home
labor as they can.
The board of education is to be
commended for its action in provid-
ing a suitable school building. 1t is
an absolute necessity, for the old
school has been insufficient for num-
Der of years. The board is composed
of E. H. Reinhart, president, Robert
Banks and Walter L. Herr. President
Reinhart and Secretary Hoffman are
the building committee.
Workmen are now at work tearing
down the old school-house. It's mas
sive stone walls will be RACED and the
stone used in the foundation of the
new building. This structure was the
county jail when Shepherdstown was
the county-seat some thirty years ago.
1t was converted into school-house,
but its lack Of ventiIating facilities
made it anything but model school.
Some years ago the school outgrew
it, and a small frame building was
built nearby.
The following were the bidders and
the amount of their bids for the con-
struction of the building;

MISS Anna Lowry on Robert
Burns"
II see amid the fields of Ayr
A plowman, who in foul and fair,
Sings at his task
So clear, we know not If it is
The laverock's song we hear or his,
Nor care to ask. % %
Clear indeed is the song of this Ayrshire
plowman. 1T is itself harmony as per-
feet as the song of the linnet and the
thrush piping to a summer evening Of
peace on earth, n glory in the western
sky" In a little clay-built cottage about
two miles from the town of Avr - the
year 1859, there was born this singer who
was to become not only the greatest
poetic genius of the eighteenth century,
but a poet whose love for his native land
has endeared him to Scotland for all
time, above all otter, and has made the
name of Robert Burns
"One of the few, the immortal names
hat were not born to die
He has touched every phase OF human
nature. Over the dauntless battle hymn
rises the sad and solemn music.
Farewell, my friends, farewell my foes
My peace with these, my love with those
The bursting tears my heart declare
Farewell, the bonnie banks of Ayr"
Through the wierd anu mysterious
naturalness, as sweet as the perfume Of
the wild rose. breathes. All that is joy,
full and full of mirth is penetrated witr
Misunderstanding cries. They are as songs
as immortal as owe and as pure as the
mornings dew, n which cheer hu.
man endeavor, songs which exalt human
life. and songs which console human sor.
row, but there is a common refrain and
that is Scotland. In them all Scotland's
breezes rustic, Scotland's waters muir.
muir and S~cotland's sun shines. With the
sweet cadence can be seen a solemn
mountain in his own beautiful Scotland
wrapped in a dense cloud. Suddenly the
cloud lifts. There are the brier rose and
mountain daisy, there the hare-bell is
lifting it's beautiful head. Hark! the
cushat is moaning, the curlew is calling
the plover is s~inging-and a flood of sun
shine as beautiful as day crowns the
! whole scene, Gods own blessing,
All, Robert Burns, sing on forever, fl,
as long as the human heart beats, thu
son will be music to human ears.

Largely ESTATE.
Mrs. Largey Petitions for Permission
to Distribute a Portion.

Lulu r. Largely, widow of the late Pat
rick A. Largely and Administrative of. the
estate left by the latter, petitioned the
district court today for permission to dis
tribute a portion of the estate among
the heirs. In the document she states
that the debts of the deceased have all
! been paid and there is now in her pos
session $57 900 in cash: hat Largely, dur
ing his lifetime, owned a half interest
in the Spectacular lode claim; that this
interest, she is informed and believes,
can be more profitably handled if dis
%tributed to the heirs-at-law (of whom
there are five. the petitioner and five
children) than If it remains a part of the
estate in her possession until the final
distribution of the entire estate is made:
that the $57, 900 in cash will be sufficient
to a all X and charges now exist
ing or that may hereafter be incurred in
the management of the estate.
Mrs. Largely asks the court to give her
a third of the half and each of he minor
children a sixth.

Thielman, the Sioux Falls pitcher
who was signed by the Buttes about a
month ago was suspended indefinitely
by Manager Powell last night. With the
suspension goes the cessation of salary.
Thielman was to have pitched yester-
days game of ball and when the time ar
rived for the game to begin refused to go
INTO the box. He said, in explanation,
that he would pitch no more ball for
Butte until he received an increase Of
salary. Powe" told him that he woul
stand suspended without pay until he ex-
perienced a change of heart.
The directors say the amount Thielman
demands is in excess Of the salary that
was promised him in the event Of his
proving satisfactory. Manager Powell
says that under no circumstances will
Thielman be released.
C. F.. hme and William Hammond
