him:

The faroff clock strikes H. The little
brass hands meet. He raises the pistol
on level with his temple and takes de-
liberate aim. But simultaneously with
the report of the pistol there falls upon
the still night air the crash of steel strik-

the steady. tense fingers, sending the
weapon spinning against one of the long
mirrors. shattering 1t into fragments.
And he stands with tingling fingers
white and startled, gazing down upon his
fathers fallen sword.
STOPPING, he raises it, while the swift
blood of shame mounts to his brow-his
fathers sword, now dulled and corroded
by the tooth of time. When he bore it
upon the battlefield, it was bright and

is rusty and the name besmirched. With

EASTER VACATION.

The teachers were consulted this
week by Superintendent Whitworth
regarding a spring vacation. Twenty
one teachers favored, eight were op-
posed and three did not care, so the
Board yielding to the wish of the
majority voted vacation during the
week, beginning April Is.
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
board, that it is expedient to assist a
free library association by levy of $40
of one mill on the taxable property OF
the city.
Resolved, Furthermore that it is
the sense of the Board, the Library AS
sociation already formed, should con-
fer, and if possible, harmonic the in
terests and objects with the statutes,
under which the Board is authorized to
make such levy.

THE ADA STUDENTS.

Mr.. EDIToR--In your issue of Feb.
II, 1900, we notice an account of some
Ada students disturbing public wOr-
ship in church of that place, and
wish through the columns of your pa
per to say that we regret very much
that such thing should have occurred,
and do not understand why minister
of the so-called ''Dowie faith" should
any more than any other preacher of
the gospel, and since Ada gave him a
place to preach, Ada should have seen
that he had fair chance at least.
We have Patronized Ada school in
days gone by, and may have occasion
to repeat it in the future, but will not,
or advise others to go unless more re-
straint is exercised on the part of those
in authority, who are expected to use
their best efforts in keeping students
in the path which leads to sober, law
abiding citizenship, and not allowed at
will to become band of law-breakers,
trampling upon the rights of others,
which thing, if they do, should be dealt
with like any other mob, for their own
good and for the good of all concerned.
And so far as Mr.. Dowie's work for
humanity is concerned would say like
one of old, that ''if it is of man it will
come to naught, and if of God ye can
not overthrow it," We understand
that the denomination to which the in
stitution at Ada now belongs is very
much opposed to Dowie's teaching, in
so much that they informed Miss Lehr,
(who is an ex-teacher of that school)
that her religious views were quite an
objection to her as one of their teach
ers, for which reason Miss Lehr politely
resigned her position, stepped down
and out, rather than give up her reli-
gious belief. for which we commend
her, and are quite sure she had per-
feet right to entertain unmolested any
friend, and especially relative on the
occasion of her marriage to Mr.. Ken
nedy, and furthermore wish to con-
gratulate her in her choice of a COM
panion for life. Sincerely
E. L. BROWN.

OUR OWN WINNIE CLYDE.

Mrs. Winnie Clyde-Cherry is making
a fine reputation as a vocalist in her
far-away home. We have been favor
ed with a program of an organ recital
given by Clarence Eddy, of Chicago,
assisted by Mrs. U. S. G. Cherry at the
First Congregational church in Sioux
Falls, February %, 1900. The Press of
that city ater praising the fine organ
music, thus compliments Mrs. Cherry:
''Mrs. U. S. G. Cherry gave two vocal
numbers on the program, singing, first,
'Sing, Smile, Slumber, )" by Gounod and
lastly "With Verdure Clad, from
Haydn's sCreation." Her splendidly
cultured voice rendered these songs in
perfection, and her numbers added
greatly to the pleasure of the evening" ;"
A few days before, the Mankato,
Minnesota Review, mentioned her sing
ing in that city in like manner: It says:
"Mrs. U. S. G. Cherry, of Sioux Falls,
charmed and delighted the audience
with her singing. She sang the
''Shadow Song,'' from the opera Deb
orah, most difficult rendition, which
she was equal to in every way. Mrs.
Cherry's voice is very sweet, of wonder
full compass and highly cultivated. Her
song was heartily encored, to which she
responded"
1t gives us the greatest pleasure to
publish notices of this kind, for Winnie
Clyde was a sweet singer even before
she thought of becoming Mrs. Cherry,
and Bellefontaine claims her as it's own.

A Big BLAZE!
The Carriage Factory Of Barker
Z FOulk Burned.
LOSS ABOUT $25OO, COVERED
BY INSURANCE.
Successful Fight By the Fire Depart
ment.

At eight o'clock last evening, the
Fire Department was called out by a
fire in the Carriage Mandatory of
Barker & Foulk, just south of the Cen
tral School Building on Detroit street,
The building formerly known as the
old United Presbyterian church.
The fire was bursting from the tower
of the building when itwas discovered,
and before the Department reached
the scene, the courthouse tower was
lighted up. by the flames.
The fire seems to have caught in the
attic, from defective fue, south of
the tower, and to have spread through
the attic and up into the tower, before
it burst through. This fact made it
very hard for the firemen to get at
the fire, but in due time they had it
under control. But by this time it had
worked through the attic to the west
end of the building, there being a
strong wind blowing from the south
east to blow it in that direction.
Angry flames broke through the
west gable. Immediately over Smiths
livery stable, and as the barn loft was
full of hay, there was prospect of
another big blaze. The horses had all
been taken out, in expectation of the
stable being burned, as the two build
ings were frame and stood close ag
ainst each other. But the Depart
ment got line.of hose onto the roof of
the stable, and fought the fire at the
west end of the carriage factory till
they triumphed, and about that time
success crowned their efforts all
through the building.
Nichols & Kiser have $1,000 insurance
on the stock, and Thomas & Arnold
$500 on the stock, and $1,000 on the
building. A new roof was put on the
building few months ago. The fac
tory had very large stock of material
and work on hand.
There was large crowd out to see
the fire, and good many tried the
sickness of the ice, enroute.
The alarm was some little time be
ing sent in, because the alarm boxes
are all on the outskirts.

rlR. POOLS THANH RIVER BILL.

Our Representative, Mr.. L. HI. Pool
advocating cleaning out the Miam
river certainly knows that it will be +;
great injustice to the people, not onl!
in the Western part of the county, bu
to the people within radius of 10 or q
miles around.
This act means the tearing out of the
Quincy mill dam, and consequently
the destruction of the water power
that runs the milling plant here. AL
linger & Sons damage would not be
put under $4,000.
Now before Mr.. Pool was born this
Quincy dam was in the river here, and
the few who have farms on the river
have come into possession OF the same,
with the water, the dam, and the river
about as it is now. Many years ago
when Mr.. Eicher owned a mill plant
here, milling company at DeGratf at
tempted to have the dam lowered a lit
tie. After a great lawsuit, Mr.. Eicher
gained the suit, and as far as we know,
everything has been quiet on the Miami
here ever since. At Miami river bend,
two miles up the river, and this side of
the mouth OF Stony Creek, in times
of low water there is rifle so that
there is no back water when the river
is at this stage above this point.
The Quincy Roller Mills is plant, of
which we are justly proud, and the per-
son or persons who should do a thing
that would rob our citizens of such a
boon, would, we think, bring censure
and condemnation on their heads, that
would never be forgotten.
There are, we believe, nine or ten
pieces of land between the dam and the
bend that border on the river: but we
never heard a word of complaint from
any of these parties, as it would be uL-
reasonable, as they came into posses
sion with present conditions existing.
We think Representative should rep
resent his constituency as impartially
as possible, ana should strive to win a
reputation of which he and his friends
would be justly proud. Such an act of
injustice would be resented by our peo-
pie in the clearest and most forcible
manner.
We trust the fate of this bill may be
ike that of some others, and the auth
or will make haste slowly, and then
kerhaps the best interests of the whole
people will be subserved, and Mr.. Pool
may be justly called the advocate of the
peoples cause. ENoS STILES.
