An ISSUE Of BONDS
FOR PUBLIC LIBRARY
BOARD OF EDUCATION WILL Al.
UPON THE ORDINANCE
THURSDAY NIGHT.
WHEN THE SITE IS PROVIDED
Andrew Carnegie VIII Make the Do
nation, I'm the Opinion of the
Board - Provisions of the Ordin-
ance, which Will Probably he
Voted Upon in August or septcm-

IL has been many months since the
Carnegie library matter was first agi-
tated in this city. There were many
difficulties in the way, principally Of a
legal character, but these have all been
surmounted. It is condition Of all Of
Andrew Carnegies gifts for library
purposes that the city receiving the
donation must provide a site for the
building and must also make provision
for the proper maintainence OF the in
stitution. The local Board found 1t
necessary to have law enacted by the
recent Legislature giving 1t authority
to purchase site.
Some delay has also been occasioned
by the lack of familiarity on the part
of Mr.. Carnegies agent with the laws
governing boards OF education in this
State. The correspondence between
Mr.. Carnegie's secretary ard represent
atiyes of the Wheeling Board, however,
indicate that Mr.. Carnegie is ready to
make a donation for a library building
to the city of Wheeling. The letters
exchanged have been published in the
Register.
The Board has prepared an ordinance
providing for bond issue to cover the
cost of site. which will be considered
at a special meeting to be held on
Thursday evening of this week. 1t will
be passed without doubt, and will then
be submitted to the voters for ratfica-
ton or rejection. The printed ordi-
nance fixes the date of election upon
August oath, but 1t may not be held
until September BY the time the Or
dinance is voted upon it is expected
that a letter will be received from Mr..
Carnegies secretary, making definite
and explicit offer to Wheeling, although
there is no doubt in the minds of mem
bers of the Board upon this score.
The ordinance provides for an issue
s1f bonds to the amount of not more
than $4,000. If the site costs less than
that amount the bond issue will cor
respond. 1t is considered likely that
a desirable piece of ground, centrally
located, can be secured at a smaller
figure. The bonds will be of the de-
nomination of $500, will run for "a
years, and will bear interest at the rate
of five per cent per annum.
Robert Simpson, John List and Char
les A. Bowers are mentioned in the
ordinance as the commissioners to sell
the bonds at not less than their par
value They should bring a good prem
iium. Before any bonds are sold the
commissioners are required to adver-
tse for four weeks the time and place
of sale and to receive sealed bids, the

news Notes of Intcrest From the Me-
tropolis of Marshall County.
He Carried Concealed Weapons.

A rather complicated case was de-
cided in Squire Pierce's court yesterday.
For some time past Wheeler Francis
and ]. Newton Cunningham, two promi-
nent citizens of Wayman's Ridge, have
been having some trouble about gate.
For Francis to reach his home it is
necessary to pass through the Cunning
ham place, going through gate which
Francis has sometimes neglected to
close when so requested by Cunning
ham. Friday evening they had some
words about the matter, when, it is al
legged. Wheeler called Cunningham a
name rejecting upon his parentage,
whereupon Cunningham knocked Fran
els down. Francis then drew a revolt
yer from his pocket and fired at his
opponent. but fortunately the shot was
wild and no one was hurt. Cunning
ham came to town and confessed to as
sault and battery and was fined So and
costs by Squire Pierce, who issued a
warrant for young Francis, charging
him with carrying concealed weapons.
Yesterday Francis was fined s25 and
costs by Justice Pierce. The case will
probably be appealed.

found his temperature normal, and the
patient doing fairly well. except that
he did not appear to have any energy.
Yesterday morning he said he did not
care for breakfast and was left alone
while the family attended to their
morning duties. In short time his
wife, hearing groans, rushed to his
room to find him lying on the floor
with his throat cut from ear to ear.
Physicians were sent for and every
effort was made to stop the flow Of

SIDE THE HALL
"LABBY" THE GUIDING SPIRIT

LONDON, June 19-Thousands of peo-
pie began collecting outside Queens hall
two hours before the advertised time of
the pro-Boer meeting held there tonight.
When the doors were finally opened the
pressure of the surging mob was so great
that many people tainted. There was
considerable disturbance and windows
We're broken in during the attempts made
by persons without tickets to gain ad
mission. Some of these were expelled.
In spite of the vigilance of the pro-
moters of the meeting many jingoes
gained an entrance to the hail. which
was filled from floor to ceiling. Much
hOoting, mingled with cheers, greeted the
delegates upon their arrival and during
the evening the delivery of speeches was
attended with some difficulty from the
same cause
Mr.. Henry LabOuchere presided at the
meeting and besides ]. W. Sauer (ex-
commissioner of public works of Cape
Colony many prominent pro- Beers, in
Guiding Mr. John Dillon, leader of the
Nationalist party; Mr.. David Lloyd
George (Welsn Nationalis0; Mr.. James
Keir Hardie (Socialist) and Sir WiIfrid
Lawson were present.
POLICE HAVE THEIR HANDS FULL.
During the meeting fully 10000 jingoes
gathered outside Of the Queens hall In
Regent street, blocked traffic and neces,
STATED relays of policemen to keep q
semblance of order in the crowd. Several
men mounted the parapet of the Lang
ham hotel, and, waving Union Jacks,
proposed resolutions against the pro-
Boer agitation, which they declared to
have been carried when the meeting in
Queens hall terminated.
The usual speeches were made and the
usual resolutions were carried amid
resolutions included an amendment in
favor of the complete independence of
the Boer republics, proposed by Baron
Battersea, for the Radicals, which did
not meet with the approval of the La
bouchere party. The meeting ended with
the singing of the Marseillaise.
J. y. Merriman (eX-treasurer of Cape
Colony, and now a representative of the
Afrikander Bund in England) wrote a
letter to the promoters Of the meeting,
apologizing for his absence.
ANTS PROMPTLY THROWN OUT.
Several collisions occurred between the
crowd outside the hall and the police,
and the latter had the greatest difficulty
in handling the assembIage. No casual
ties We're reported.
The Daily Mail asserts that the pro-
moters of the Queens hall meeting Sc
cured the services of 500 or 7CO "stal-
warts" as stewards. These gangs of
foreign ruf1ans" were found inside the
hall, according to the Daily Mail, 'ready
to keep order and eject the malcontents
The 'stalwarts" were drawn from the
low class foreign clubs in Soho. Many
of them were armed with sticks, broom
handles and knuckle-dusters, and the
Daily Mail says they acted with un-
restrained violence in excluding Royal
lists and throwing out undesirable per-
sons

TRAMP MURDERED AT

SISTING ROBBERS

SHAKOPEE. Mimi, June 19.-(Special.)
Two colored men from st. Louis en-
tered a car at Merriam Junction Tues
day night to sleep. Later three whites
came in, and about 2 a. m. three mask
ed men entered, one carrying a thirty
eight-caliber revolver and one an iron
bar. The other stood around. The one
with the gun said, Line up" and they
were marched out of the car on a side
track and searched, giving up about 80 so
The man with the gun then returned to
William Riggs colored and said he had
more money, which was tied to his shirt
tail. The robber went to unbutton Riggs
pants, when Riggs said he would get it.
Then Riggs scuffied with him and the
young fellow shot Riggs, the bullet en-
tering the abdomen and striking the spi-
nal cord, after passing through the right
kidney, killirg g him instantly. The other
negro started to run and was told to
stop. Then two of the robbers ran to-
ward Jordan, six miles southwest, and the
ether disappeared in the woods. The dead
man was about forty-flve years old, FIVE
feet eleven inches tall, weighed $50
pounds. The two negroes came from Chi
cago and were on their way home to st.
Louis. The others are in the county jail.
Riggs was buried at Shakopee today.

THOMAS d. EDMONDS, OF MAssA-
CHUsETTS, CAUSES RELATIVES
AND FRIENDS MICH ANXIETY

BOSTON, Mass, June 19.-(Special.)-
Thomas S. Edmonds, eighty-four years
DID, wants to get married. There has
been a standing request at the city
clerks Office in Lowell, that a certificate
allowing him to get married shall not be
given him. Judge Mcintyre gave all day
today on a hearing for the appointment
of guardian for Mr.. Edmonds. The
petition for the appointment of
guardian for Mr. Edmonds is signed by
F. Merrill Edmonds, clergyman of
Minnesota, and others. Much of the tes-
timony today related to Mr.. Edmonds'
efforts to get married and his peculiar1-
ties. He is a reader of newspapers con-
tanning matrimonial advertisements.
Frank F. Dunbar, counsel for the petit
toners said tonight: Mr. Edmonds did
not intend to marry any particular
woman, but we found he had been cor
responding WITH several and we thought
it was about time to stop it by having a
guardian appointed" Some women with
whom he corresponded gave up the cor
respondence when they found out how
old he was. There may be some woman
who would not give up an intention to
marry him and she might squander what
little money he has saved to care for
himself in his declining years The
guardian whom we desire to have ap-
pointed is another son living in Boston,"

HARRISBURG, Pa, June 19.-The
house passed finally on special orders to-
day the two bills supplemental to the
rapid transit acts signed by the governor
recently. These bills We're introduced
and passed IN the senate last week, and
they now go to the governor for his ac-
ton. The one constituting the governor,
secretary of state and attorney general
board to pass on applications for rapid
transit franchises was attacked by sew
eral anti-administratlon Republicans and
Democrats. In the course of a speech
Mr.. Coray, of Luzerne, a Republican
leader of what is known as the "Insur-
gent" element, said:
Two weeks ago the office of secretary
OF the commonwealth presented a scene
which viii go down in history. There
were lot Of hungry parasites and a lot
OF milionaires present in obedience to
the orders they had received to raid the
treasury.
They carried away valuable fran
chisos. and now it is proposed to prevent
others from getting similar favors by
placing the power TO grant them in The
hands of a board
McClain, Republican, of Lancaster,
said, in defense of the measure, that
many applications were made at the state
department for charters that were to be
used for purely speculative purposes, and
this bill is to prevent such speculation in
charters.
The bill passed by a vote of 105 to Go,
receiving In its favor only two more than
the requisite number of votes.

from the United States and further that
the provisions of paragraph 626, of the
act of July a. 1897 the Dingley tariff
law, apply to the country where the oil
is produced, and not to the country of
expectation. This decision, it is contend
ed at the treasury department, is the
only one which could be made in view Of
the plain wording of the law. The only
other action in regard to the importation
of petroleum, treasury officials say, which
has ever been taken by the department,
was that Of March g. 1861, which required
invoices of product OF crude petroleum
to be accompanied by the United States
consular certificate, showing the place
where the petroleum contained therein
was produced. No reference whatever it is
said at the department is made to any
particular country save calling attention
to the decision of the board of general
appraisers. AS far as the department
knows not dollar in duties has been coll
lected on Russian petroleum imported Gi-
rect, nor was the action ef March 8, it is
claimed, taken with any special reference
to that country.
