Education.

That teachers usefulness 10 not
confined to the classroom has been
demonstrated by Mr.. C.. J. Jordan,
teacher Of the Dominique school IN
the sixth ward. One month before
the assumption of his duties as
teacher Mr.. Jordan saw that several
repairs were needed and he went
about the community and explained
to the patrons that if they gave him
their incidental fee in advance he
would be enabled to make the ne
cessary repairs and have the school
ready for an uninterrupted session
Of work. The patrons appreciated
his efforts in their behalf and
twenty five families cheerfully paid
the incidental fee, thus enabling
Mr.. Jordan to make the necessary
repairs. But this was not ali. In
going from house to house he was
incidentally engaged in an educa-
tional campaign. Every family
visited saw the earnestness and en-
thusiasm Of the man and. they them
selves became enthusiastic over the
school and were anxious to send
their children to a teacher who put
himself to so much trouble for their
welfare. What was the result3
While many schools in the parish
have been closed for lack of attend
ance the Dominique school is full to

Somebody, we do not knoy who,
wrote the following statement,
which is true to all papers: There
never was a country paper in any
locality that gave all the local
news. 1t is often that some per-
sons come or go that the editor
does not sec. 1t happens that a
family is missed several times.
They get the impression that the
paper does not care to mention
them or has a grudge againstthem.
1t is a mistake. The paper has no
ill feeling, no spite, no enmity
against anybody. 1t is going to
do what is right by everybody.
Most people take the local paper.
Don't be afraid to tell the editor
you have friends visiting you.
Perhaps you think the paper shows
Partially, but try and e if it
doesn't treat you well if you give
it a chance"

CAUSED MUCH EXCITEMENT.

Quite an excitement was caused Satur-
urday evening by VIM. Cooper. foreman
of Blossoms ranch, coming into town
and reporting that he had found human
bones and a lot of old fashioned spec
tacles and sun glasses. The find was
made in a bend OF the Humboldt river
neal the fence which divides the Bios
som and Layton ranches and about 200
yards from the old emigrant road. Mr..
Cooper was out looking for cattle and in
riding over this bend from which the
willows and brush were burned last Fall,
he saw a small box partly burned which
was found to contain tho spectacles and
sun. glasses before mentioned. Nearby
we're several piles Of charred bones
which Mr.. Cooper concluded we're those
of human beings.
Sunday morning H. r. Lemaire, F. e.
Woolcock, r. c. Blossom, R. M. Horton,
Hugh Driscoll. Jas. Blossom, John Har-
loe, and r. Lee with VIM. Cooper went
to the place and made a careful examin-
alton. Other bones were found, also a
lady's bracelet, the heel Of a lady's shoe,
a badly rusted hatchot, an empty musk
ct cap box, and several brass buttons
such az are used on soldiers uniforms.
About thirty yards from where the bones
were found is what seems to be a cres-
cent shaped embankment. 1t was sup
posed that this was all that remained of
some emigrant party that. when crossing
the plains in early days. was attacked by
the Indians and forced to take to the
willows where they made their last
stand. The embankment might have
been thrown up as a protection from
the bullets OF the savage foe.
Monday another party went to the
scene and after a careful search were un-
able to reveal anything that would in
any way disclose the fact that the bones
found were those of human, and there
are many theories advanced in relation
to the bones found because they are in
such a crumbled condition that it is very
hard to determine to what animal they
belong. The boys are trying to explain
when and how it all happened.
Probably some Of the old timers might
have heard of such a massacre taking
place and will be able to throw some
light on this subject which is now caus-
ing considerable discussion, il SO we will
he glad to publish anything pertaining
to the above.

the month and that was on the 18th, 1875,
when 0.41 of an inch fell. 1t is therefore
seen by the past records that this is the
first rainy spell which has occurred dur
ing the first part of August in the last
quarter of a century. Up to 1890 P. NJ.
yesterday 0.73 Of an inch of rain has
fallen during this month.

CL0UDBURST AT OLD BATTLE NOUN
TAIN.


A large ~cloudburst occurred at Old
Battle Mountain at about 12:45 last Fri
day afternoon by which VIM. Mac
donald had a miraculous escape from
being drowned. As soon as William saw
the large body of water coming down
the mountain he ran down to the stable
which is situated a short distance from
the house to let the horses out of the
corral.
Mr.. Macdonald and his two sons Don
and William, had just returned from the
mines and were putting on dry clothes
when all at once they heard a loud peal
of thunder which made the ground
tremble. On coming out of the cabin
and looking up the mountain could
plainly see the large body of water tear
ing down the canyon increasing in sound
every second until it was almost deafen
ing. Will ran to the stable and found
the two horses unmanageable and try
ing their utmost to get out. Cutting the
halter ropes one of the horses ran out on
the side hill but before he could get the
other horse out. the water and boulders
struck the stable and corral and com-
pletely carried it down the canyon. Will
was carried at least one hundred yards
down the canyon where he was seer by
his brother Don who rushed to his res
cue and helped him out OF his perilous
condition from the mad. rushing and
roaring water in an unconscious state.
After a few minutes Will regained con
seriousness and was taken to the cabin
and Saturday was brought to town. After
a careful examination DR.. Hood found
he was hurt internally ana it may be
some time before he will be able to re-
turn to work again.
The horse that was washed down by
the water was found dead in the fat
about two miles from the cabin.
Places twenty feet deep were washed
out by the water. Had all the water
came down the canyon that broke upon
the mountain the cabin would also have
been taken away.
A large amount of the water went
down Alder Creek on the other side of
the mountain but we understand no
damage was done more than washing
the road out quite badly in several
places.
Nj. Mcdonald informed us yesterday
that they were visited by another cloud
burst Monday afternoon and was equally
as large as the one that occurred on Fri
! day.
