Compliments for Our High School.

w. ID. Parker, Inspector of High
Schools from the State Department
OF Public Instruction, spent last
Thursday looking through our high
school. His report, both oral and
written, shows the school to be in
very prosperous condition. Before
leaving he gave the school short
talk approving their work and telling
them in what ways he approved it.
His written report to the school board
includes the following:
81 win state, in general way, after
seeing most of the POI schools that
fall under this inspection, that the
River Falls high school is in state OF
citizenship and scholarship that is in
advance OF the average school OF the
size OF yours. The effort of teachers
was positive in my presence, and d.
rected the attention Of pupils to ap-
propriate topics in ways that make
desired progress possible. The school
spirit was wholesome, the habit was
toward study, and the excellent work
In recitation was positive in character
that may we'll form basis for success
sive days work, and many such days
would, Of course, result in that schol-
arship and in that citizenship that the
friend of every child can desire. Very
little formal work OF teachers was
observed; on the contrary, the express
sion afforded by the teachers was we'll
timed, was positive. and resulted in
evoking from students the best they
could do. -. Your school stands in
my faith as one that is worthy of the
continued patronage and support of
the community, and / venture to
approve it In the belief that the main
things that any good school would
bring are fully in your possession"

DEATH IN FLAMES.
An Old Hotel at Poplar Bluff, No.,
Destroyed by Fire.
-FOUR PERSONS KNOWN TO Be DEAD.
Three Other PersOns Fatally Il jurrd,
Twenty More or Loss Hurt and One
Missing-Guests saved Nothing but
the Night ClOthes Worn.

Poplar Bluff, No., Nov. 13.-Hemmed
in by flames in the upper stories OF
the Clifford house, an old frame struc-
ture that burned like finder, num-
Der of persons were burned or sutfo-
Gated to death, others leaped from the
windows and suffered the loss of limbs
and other injuries from which some
died, while scarcely one of the As or
more sleeping guests in the place got
out without injury and none saved
anything but the night clothes that
were worn at 1890 when the alarm
was given.
Four are known to be dead, one is
missing, three are fatally injured and
more than 20 are burned or otherwise
hurt.
In the halls of the hotel a dozen or
more persons were overcome by heat
and smoke and this leads to the belief
that the loss of life will be much
greater than is now known. There
was a number of unregistered guests
at the place.
The casualties so far as reported are
as follows:
Dead: Berry, Curley, Poplar Buff;
Clark, Heck, Doniphan, NO.; DeHart,
Shelby, Poplar Bluff; Owens, Rebec-
ca, Poplar Bluff.
Missing: Dalton, Eugene, Hot
Springs, Ark.
Fatally injured Hargrove, Etta,Pop-
lar Bluff, both legs broken, internally
injured by jumping from third-story
window; Stowe, Winslow, Tennessee;
unidentified woman.
Seriously injured; Smith, 7. A.,
Poplar Bluff, terribly burned about
the face and hands; Pernaud, Barney,
Desoto, Mo-, hands and face burned;
Stradley, Charles, Poplar Bluff,
bruised and burned; Shelby, Mrs. Ben
jamin, Poplar Bluff, back injured,
burned and bruised; Berry, Pink;
Freshcar, Elmer; Upchurch, James,
Poplar Bluff, severely burned.
About dozen more were slightly
burned or received bruises in trying
to escape from the building.
Only one person, the watchman was
awake in the hotel when the fire
started, and he was unable to
warn the guests, for the flames had
spread so fast that he was driven from
the building. Escape for every one on
the second and third stories was cut
off, and the fire department was I'M
able to give them any assistance. Here
the deaths occurred, and in jumping
from the windows the others were
hurt. There were many acts of hero
ism in the rescue of women and
number of guests had very narrow es-
capes, several having their hair and
eyebrows singed. 1t will be several
days before the number of dead is
known.

Havana. Nov. 9.-The committee on
rules of the Cuban constitutional con-
vention is discussing the advisability
of holding secret sessions after the
permanent organization has been eff
fected, which will probably take place
at the re-opening of the convention
next Monday. La Lucia says: "The
difficulty will not be in drawing up
constitution, but in reaching an
agreement as to the relations which
are to exist between Cuba and the
United States. We take it that the
convention will insist upon three fed
eral points, namely, no relations with
other governments except through
the United States, no power to nego-
tiate loans, and no authority to upset
peace and order"
