Public School Notes.

The following named ladies at
tended the Easter exercises by Miss
es Coston's and Schneider's pupils in
the latters room last Friday after
noon: Mesdames Webb, Orr, Foor,
Wilson, James. The exercises were
exceptionally good and all present
were very much impressed with the
manner in which the little folks car
ried out the program. 1t is to be
regretted that more of our people do
not visit the schools and by their
presence show an interest in the work
being done by the scholars. All
those who appreciate worthy endeavor
and an honest struggle for an educa-
ton should delight to visit the school
and lend encouragement to the ambi-
tious, hard working student. Their
presence would mean much to the
average pupil.
A little boy in the third grade few
days ago asked and answered this
question: "Why is Idaho like. a
Nigger's shoe?" because it has a
Blackfootinit " Cute, indeed, com
ing for boy SO small, and through
it all he main tanned the dignity of a
prince in the zenith of sober triumph.

kIMBERLEY'S RELIEF.
Lord Roberts' Manner of Receiving
the News.


A royal engineer, writing home from
South Africa, described how Lord Rob-
erts received the news Of the relief Of
Kimberley. He said:-, H.
"It was at Wegdraai drift, five miles
from Jacobsdal, that Lord Roberts re-
ceived the telegram, from Lord Kitch-
ener stating. that General French had
entered Kimberley and dined at the
club. When the field telegraphlst
handed it to Lord Roberts, he read it.
aloud and remarked, We'll, that's good
news During the day we sent a bri-
gade into Jacobsdal and established
communication there. We had one
man wounded and a mule shot, belong
ing to the telegraph party Lord Rob-
erts expressed himself as well pleased
with the telegraph work that day, as
we had kept in touch with all the cell
umns, and he was thus able to direct
operations so well. There was fighting
all round us during the day. Lord
Roberts was often waiting near the
tent for news. One of the telegraph
staff mentioned that the convoy was in
trouble, and he remarked, oh, that
does not matter, my lad, so long as we
get the men away meaning that the
object had been attained. General
French had entered Kimberley, Jacobs
dal had been taken and supplies could
also be got through from Modder river.
1--WE have found General Roberts a
thorough gentleman. He has a knack
of putting any one at ease when speak
ing with him. At Jacobsdal we seized
the postoffice. which is better than a
tent for our work."

Sight Returned After sixteen Year,

An extraordinary case Of lost sight
returning after 16 years Of total blind
ness has just been made known. The
case is that of Emanuel Mandel, father
of Philip Mandel, who lives in Trenton.
The elder Mandel lives in Newark. He
spent last summer in Trenton visiting
his son. At that time he was totally
blind and had to be led from place to
place. Some time after returning to his
home In Newark Mr.. Mandel was TAX
en- sick, and his illness continued until
a few weeks ago, when he began to ex-
perience pains in the head. One day he
put his hand to his head and saw the
hand distinctly, says the New York
Sun. Astounded at the CLEAN of day
light which he perceived after 16 years
of gloom, he looked up and saw the
face Of his wife. From that time his
sight improved until now he can see as
well as in his youth.

AT an informal meeting of the new city
council held last evening no agreement
could be reached as to the future city
officials. 1t appears that from opinions
expressed the Republican aldermen are
intending to elect marshal who will not
strictly enforce the mayors order for
Sunday closing, and Mayor Seymour is
determined, if possible, to secure the
election OF marshal who will enforce
his orders The council will meet in
regular session this evening to elect Off

Snow Slides Mt silver Plume.

A Silver Plume special to Sundays
Denver Republican says: Saturday morn
ing about I o'clock three snowslides oc-
CURED near Silver Plume, one at this 7:3O
mine and another at the Pelican mine,
the largest carrying tons OF rocks, dirt
and snow, together with trees, which it
had uprooted in its path, and depositing
the mass opposite the Silver Plume de-
pot. No damage was done except to
block the wagon road to the 1880 mine.
Seine of the miners were going to work
when they were met by others coming
back who told them to run for their lives
as there was snowslide. Most of them
remembering last winters experience,
turned their horses and ran, but as they
left the 7:30 gulch, the slide on the other
side came laundering down. This was
followed by a smaller slide, which buried
the horses and men. They struggled
through it, and il made an cxcitingsrace
for the winners.
About $3.50 a. m. larger slide occur

The selection OF w. r. Backus for
marshal and Fred Rudolph as city clerk
by the city council of Black Hawk shows
the high esteem that their services are
held. This is Mr.. Backus' fourteenth
year as marshal, and never complaint
has been made as his services have al
ways given satisfaction. Mr.. Rudolph
now commences his sixth term, and for
one more year the clerks chair will have
a most efficient occupant.

Since the time of Columbus "a passage

culties of the Panama route. Two hun
dred and eighty million dollars have been
sunk. in this scheme, and yet the work
seems hardly begun.
Since 1854 the United States has had a
grant from the government Of Niearauga
to construct canal through its territory.
There has been concessions made to other
interests for canal and railroad purposes
