women. This interest can be shown in no better way than by a good school building, well located, and competent and sufficient teaching force.
 It is not our business or purpose to say, in what way we can get the for mer. To increase the number of teachers it is necessary to increase the fund of the school. This can be done by increasing the attendance, the apportionment being based on the attendance. If the average so far is kept up during the year, and it should be, there will be material in crease in the apportionment for the ensuing year. We. therefore ask pa rents that if they desire and expect a better school in the future to sup port the one they now have. Every time pupil is absent the future in terests of the school suffer to that ex- tent, to say nothing of present loss to the pupil.
 A new school building is necessity and every possible effort should be made to get it before the beginning of another school year.
 Respectfully,
 J. E. WILLIAMS.

"Well, say," remarked Old Sport when he returned from Lordsburg, Git was most glorious day, and I can truly say that I enjoyed the game. Them ducks down at the junction are dead easy. I didn't think we could work lem a second time, but they fell right into it. Say, it was a pretty game though. We'll, yes, I managed to make expenses on the trip. but they had the pleasure of our company for several hours. Don't you newspaper sharks say anything about them imported players; just pretend like we don't know it. Any how it wouldn't be interestin' without lem. Why, our boys can play the whole s. P. system from New York to Frisco, and do lem every time, too. That talk goes. Say, on the quiet, do you suppose that newspaper man down there will send me his paper. I don't care so much for the news but would like to see it occasionally as a matter of good faith, see?"

The School.

That Clifton should have a larger school building and more teaching force is a fact too obvious for denial. And in so prosperous a community as this, no reason exists why we should not have both. If the people of Cliff ton desire to educate their children, and who would say that they are with out parental interest and solicitude? it is that they should bestir them selves. There is no better test of the progress and sentiment of a commu- nifty than the interest it takes in those who are to be it's future men and

town. After the fifth inning the postmaster said he had some impor- tant mail matters to attend to and begged to be excused.
 It was pretty game from start to finish and would have been a credit to professionals. Williams, the Clifton pitcher, famed out twelve men, and Armstrong, the imported Tucson pitcher, famed out seven. The Cliff ton boys made three errors and the Lordsburgers none. Clifton had five men left on bases and Lordsburg four. The event of the whole game was the stealing from second base to third by Poor, the Clifton catcher, while Arm strong held the sphere in his good right hand. It is said that Williams, the Clifton pitcher, laid over Arm strong, the Tucson pitcher, like dol lar over dime.
 After the game was over the Lords burgers "did the proper thing" with the visiting team. The boys all speak in the highest terms of the manner in which they were received and came home happy, and perhaps little vain. Names of players and position:

tween the LOrdSburg and Clifton hines at Lordsburg Sunday last and proved to be most interesting event.
 The Clifton team left on the a. m. train, and while on the road Old Sport asked the boys if they did not want to get even on the expenses of the day. Of course the boys did. Old Sport told them to let the Lordsburgers have two or three runs on the first inning and perhaps they would forget the drub- ping they got up here two weeks ago and loosen up their purse strings a little. Of course the boys indignantly refused to be party to such a scheme, but it so happened that the Lordsburgers went to the bat first and, strange to say, made three runs. The entire population of Lordsburg was present, and it is said that they were about as wild and woody a lot as could be found on any diamond in the United States. Lordsburgers always back up their own team, and with such odds in their favor, and with two imported players from Tucson and one from Fl Paso, they thought they had sure enough soft snap. They offered odds of three to one in favor of Lordsburg. Old Sport and few others quietly covered their stuff. The Clifton boys made a goose egg on the second half of the first, and then pandemonium broke loose. The edi- <~f he Tiha1-a1 xuh ic usually Chesterfield in department, forgot the dignity at all times due the postoffice department, threw his hat into the air and turned hand springs clear across the diamond. He became so excited that he offered to wager a years subscription against S5, which was taken. Never had Lordsburg felt so gay. The imported players were carried out to their places on the backs of enthusiastic friends, but in the meantime Old Sport was doing business at the old stand. When they lined up for the second inning Williams gave Poor a mysterious wink, and famed out three strikers in succession. On the last half of the second the Clifton boys made another goose egg, but Old Sport was still doing nice quiet bus- mess. And so it continued until the fourth inning, when the Clifton boys made a tally, and in the fifth two more. When the Lordsburgers went to the bat on the sixth inning the game was tie. They made another goose egg and the Clifton boys made a run. On the first half of the seventh the Lordsburgers met with their usual luck, and as the Clifton boys were one ahead they concluded not to play the last inning, as they did not care to rub it in on the Lordsburgers. ! The score stood to in favor of Cliff ton, with one inning coming to the Clifton boys.

RELIEVED NICHE OF TIME.
Privation and Suffering Commencing to Be Pretty Keen at Iadysmith.

Privation and Suffering Commencing
 to Be Pretty Keen at LadYsmith.
 London, March 1.-Genaral Bull leI's relief of Ladysmith came in the niche of time. Despite the cheerful heliograph reports, the beleaguered garrison was in dire straits. Only the belief that relief was certain this time enabled the garrison to hold out. Private reports show that the garrison was not only short of food, but the water was poison, be- ing nothing less than sewerage from the Boer camp. Those who escaped fever or dysentery are in wretched physical condition. For long time the garrison subsisted on horse and mule flesh. Luxuries were beyond the means of the majority. Eggs sold at S9 a dozen, canned milk g tobacco S25 a pound, case oi whisky S700.
 Ladysmith has been in siege about four months. Relief has been costly both in men and treasure. Some idea as to the obstacles with iwhieh Butler had to contend the Colensc correspondent cables no one cGn de scribe their difficulties. Ridge rise: after ridge, like waves of the sea Each can be enfladed by the enemy and until one is taken it is impQs' sible even with the keenest scout: to know what fortune lies beyond.

NEWS NOTES AND COMMENTS

Senator Bard of California was sworn in yesterday at Washing ou.
 Democratic National Committee n1an Thomas Gahan Of St Louis wrote to Kansas City hotel for rates for four rooms with baths. He has received reply that the charge Tor each room would be S25 day As a result he Is ready to join movement to take the convention away from Kansas City. It is said that such step may really be taken.
 It is said that the British ministry believes that the amount of the debt reduction by England in the past twenty-one years will be offset by the cost of the present war in South Africa. The expenditure at the present time is at the rate of about S50,0O0,000 a month, which Is not far below the highest outlay of the United States during the war of se- session.
 Four widows of the revolutionary war are still on the pension roll, al though the war Of the revolution ended lZ0 years ago. They range in age from S2 10 99.
 Colonel Anderson, with the Thir- ty-eighth infantry, ambushed the enemy near Batangas. The Ameri- cans took the insurgents completely by surprise and fired vollevs into them before they were aware of the presence of troops. Twenty-four Tagals were killed and thirty wounded.
 Prophets of high standing are not lacking who assert that war be- tween England and France is mat ter only of time, time so short that they say it will come closely on the heels of the last days of the Paris exposition. They take this position because of the gradually increased acuteness of the relations between the natives on the two sides of the channel, a strain which has been growing ever since Fashoda.

THE STORY OF THE SIEGE.
The Various Engagements Around Ladysmith With the Varying Suc-
 cess of Both Armies.

London, March 1.-The story of the seige of Ladysmith, which has just been raised by General Butler, is as follows: October F, immedi- ately after the declaration of war, the Boers moved in force into Natal, carrying war from the outset into British territory, and October 20 the first engagement in Natal was fought in Glencoe, resulting in heavy loss to the British. On the following day General French captured the Boer position at Eland's Laager, but only after severe loss. These en- agreements were followed by series of skirmishes around Ladysmith, and on October 24th, the British, after scoring a nominal victory and forcing the Boer lines. were com pelled to abandon the ground they had won and retire to Ladysmith General Yule's forces reached Lady smith October 26, and October 2e the Boer forces invested Ladysmith
 October 30, the British met with : terrible loss in battle at Ladysmith

Trains abandoned yesterday were coming in from the north today. While little information is yet to be had there certainly has been great suffer ing amonguthe poor in the snow bound cities of Ohio.
