ported themselves with becoming grace
and dignity. Tables were spread up
on the lawn, and dainty refreshments
were served by bevy of prettily
gowned young 1adies-an attractive
feature. The whole occasion was de-
lightfully formally informal.

BOaro of Education,

The board of education held an in.
formal meeting on Monday evening
for the purpose of considering the
matter of sewer connections, or what.
ever other provisions must be made
tor furnishing the building with pro-
per closets.
I. There was a general discussion OF
the various ways and means of &C
complishing the desired end but no
definite action was taken other than an
unanimous expression, by formal y ote,
not to tap the head of the Main-st.,
sewer. This is wise. The school
building iss not on that system.
There were number of citizens pre-
sent at the meeting, and eveayone of
them heartily approved the decision
of the board. It now remains to pro-
vide some other method, and two
opinions were expressed. that nothing
be done for a year, awaiting the laying
of q sewer as planned in the regular
system; and putting in cesspool as a
temporary expedient-for year or
two, until such sewer shall be laid.
The matter will be taken up at a
regular meeting to be held on Friday
evening.

the safe, but TIE third. on which was
the time lock, resisted the force of
the explosives. and citizens. who had
been aroused by the noise. rushed into
the streets with shotguns and drove
the robbers away before they had Sc
cured any plunder. Believing the rob-
bers were concealed in the bank, n
posse kept watch until daylight, when
1t was discovered that they had es-
capped. Secreted in vault in the
bank was $4,000. for which no search
was made. AS result of the raid

robbers were caught near Albert City,
Clay county, and taken to Sioux Rap

they would be lynched if taken to Al

replied to the latest proposals of Mr..
Dickinson, diplomatic agent of the
United States in Sofia. This is be-
lieved to be due to the. fact that the

latter are unable to agree among
themselves. There is general i'm
preston here that time is being frit-
tered away while waiting for the bri-
gands to reduce their demands. 1t is
felt that the only means by which
matters can be brought to head is to
inform them as to the sum available
for ransom and to declare that this
cannot be increased for any considera-
tion whatever. Such an ultimntum
might endanger the life of Miss Stone.
but 1t Is more probable that the bri-
gands will accept this condition. Be-

he will not take action until the sub
fleet is thoroughly considered from
every standpoint. Though elected as
Populist. he has always taken the
stand that capital should be thorough

hand, he believes that the interests OF

Manila, Nov. 1S.-Company E of the
Ninth infantry. Captain F. H. Shoef-
fel. was attacked by SO bolomen and
several insurgents armed with rifles
at point six miles from Tarangan,
in the island Of Samar. The insur-
gents tried to rush the Americans, but
failing to accomplish their purpose,
they quickly broke and scattered.
The men of the Ninth had a corporal
and scout killed and one private

capped.
Ten Hotchkiss rapid-fre guns will
be sent to the southern islands for
operations in the mountains. Captain
Herman Hall of the Twenty-first in
fantry has been scouting for several
days in Batangas province. He had
four separate engagements with the
insurgents there. Judging from the
firing on these occasions, Captain Hall
estimates the force of each band OF
the rebels at from 80 to so. They
made no attempt to charge Captain
Halls party. Captain Halls scout re-
suited in the capture of one insurgent
officer and $4,000 pounds of rice.
General Sumner, commander of the
district of southern Luzon, highly
praises Captain Hartman and his
troop of the First cavalry. who last
Wednesday morning attacked 400 in
surgents entrenched in rifle pits at
Buan. Batangas province. and routed
them. General Sumner says the blow
