Miss Gertrude Higgins has completed
the annual statistical and financial re-
port of the schools in Rosebud county

many items of interest to those
who have the welfare of the pub

4 time when the several school districts
Of the county We're in better condition
financially or otherwise. There has
been a marked increase in attendance
and the increase in value Of the school
buildings and the number of books
added to the libraries is very satisfac-
tory to one who likes to see the public
schools keep step with the progress in
other lines.
The school district Of Forsyth shows
a gratifying increase in attendance
over previous years. The report shows
that for the fiscal year ending Aug.
81, 1901. the number of school children
in the county between the ages of 6
and 21, was 635, Of whom o72 belonged
to the Forsyth district. There We're IS

females. There are II teachers in the
county and 5 of these are in Forsyth
The number of pupils attending pri-
vate schools in the county is 9.
Schools We're i'm session O. months in
the county last year and the total num-
Der Of days attendance during that
time was 20, ,255. The average dailv
attendance was .21+ pupils. The per

values-gold, silver and copper. This
mine, so lar as has been developed,
including explorations and diamond
drilling below the present workings
shows an immense ore chimney, 400 by
oOO feet across, that has been explored
by shafts, tunnels and drill holes to a
depth of 1,4OO feet. Just how far it
1t will be possible to work this mine
before the heat limit is reached is
hard to say, but reasonable estimate
would be 5000 feet. An estimate bv
one OF the best mining engineers in
this country shows that the mine to the
depth Of 1,+O0 feet contains $50, OOO. 900
cubic feet of ore, and estimating II
cubic feet to the ton there is practically
23,O0O,O 600 tons in sight. II we carry
these figures little further on the
present four values of the United Verde

OF course if these figures are correct
there need be no longer question as to
who is the richest man in the world.

others in the race that there is no dam

EDWARD P. DEACON DEAD.
Sensational Incident in Paris Re-
 called by His Demise.


 Boston, July 6.-Edward Park Dea- con. member of a wealthy Boston fam fly. promiennt in society few years ago, and who married daughter of Mrs. William Astor, and who was prin- cipal in a sensational shooting affair in Paris, is dead. Mir. Deacon was a vic tim of brain disease.
 The Deaccns came from one of the oldest families of France, and for many yesrs Edward lived in Paris. After his marriage he resided at the French capital, being connected with a bank ing firm. Mrs. Deacon was Miss Flor ence Baldwin. daughter of Rear Ad- miral Charles H. Baldwin, then con- sidered the most wealthy officer in the United States navy. The marriage took place in New York in 1872.
 Twenty years later, in a hotel at Cannes, incidents arose which awak- ened Deacon's jealousy, and the culmi- nation was a scene in Mrs. Deacon's apartments, in which M. Emile Abeille was shot and killed by MT. Deacon. A French court convicted him for homi eide, and he was sentenced to one year imprisonment at Nice on May ?. 1892. and was pardoned September 20, follow ing. by President Carnot. with many other prisoners, in commemoration of the one hundredth anniversary of the French Republic.
 In 1897, while on visit here, MT. Deacon became insane and was taken to an asylum. He was 4b years of age.

DAUGHTER OF VICTORIA.
Woman Claimed Herself to Be of
 Royal Birth.

New York, July GA woman who, with almost her last breath, held to the story that she was the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria and the Prince consort, is dead in this city, having expired in the German Hospital, a victim of the heat and of insufficient nutriment. Through the charity of a doctor who believed her story implicitly and who learned of her demise. her body was not buried in the p3tter's field, but was buried this after noon in Calvary Cemetery
 The woman. who was known as Sophia Adelaide. and Mrs. Kent. always insisted that as an infant she was taken from her royal mother and in her place was substituted the daughter of Prince Albert by his morganatic wife. :he Countess De- Reuss. Up to the time, it is said, of her coming to America. which was shortly after the death of John Brown, the Queens Highland attendant Sophia Ade- laide received remittances in Paris or wherever she might be. through the Rev. Ward Bouvie of Coles Hill, England When these ramittances were stopped and she inquired into the cause she found that MT. Bouvie was dead and thenceforth her remittances were paid to her by John Brown himself. it is sad.
 At his death they ceased altogether She made several intellectual attempts to obtain settlement. and when this failed she came to this country and brought out book which it is said has been sup pressed in England and Germany. It con tained her contentious.

This includes the Azores, and all of the waters of Europe and North Africa.
 Admiral Cromwell has been until now commander -in chief of the Southern Atlantic station, and his new assign ment created a vacancy which will be filled for the present by Captain Pen- dleton of the Atlanta, now at Rio. If additional ships are sent to the South Atlantic later, Rear Admiral prob- ably will be named for the command, but for the present, there Is no pur- pose of increasing the ships on that station. Neither is there any present prospect of adding to the ships on the European station. The re-establish- ment of the European station is said to be entirely devoid of political signif- canoe. and to be simply a move In the regular procedure of the navy to place thze service in the same condition that was prior to the war.
