GREW HIS UMBRELLA STOCK.
Infinite Pains st. Louis Man De-
slowed Upon n Maple
SnplinE.

A guest at one of the principal ho-
tells the other day exhibited a curious
and beautiful umbrella handle to n
party Of admiring friends. 1t was a
crook of silver maple wood bearing the
natural bark and its ornament con-
sisted of three heavy gold bands, or
rings. encircling the shaft ct equal
distances. What made it remarkable
was the sclf-evident fact that the
bands had been put on when the branch
from which the handle was made was
part of n living tree and much smaller
in diameter. The wood had grown
through and around the contining
metal and bulged out at either side,
producing an odd and striking effect,
says the New Orleans Times-Democrat.

material ready for this umbrella han

THE NEW SCHOOL HOUSE.
Another Public Meeting Will Be
Held This Evening.

The school meeting held at Hip 5
Hall last Thursday evening to consid-
er the advisability of erecting a ne
school building in Ely was not as large
ly attended as could be desired, but
what it lacked in numbers was more
than made up in enthusiasm.
District Attorney A. I. Stearns was
chosen chairman of the meeting, and
Prof. a. J. Cartwright secretary, after
which the condition of the two build
ings now in use, and the necessity for
a more commodious structure to be
constructed more in accordance with
modern ideas, was discussed.
Contractor Ben Strandman was called
upon and stated that building 24xSO,
such as the Trustees thought would be
required, would cost in the neighbour
hood of 81, 800, provided the lumber in
the old building is utilized.
After thorough discussion OF all
matters connected with the question a
vote was taken on the proposition to
erect new building of the dimensions
suggested by the trustees, and it was
carried unanimously, the general opin-
ion being that any money expended in
repairing the old building would be
thrown away.
This matter disposed of the Trustees
were requested to ascertain the pres
ent assessed valuation of the taxable
property embraced in the Ely School
District, in order that an estimate of
the special tax rate TO be levied might
be arrived at, after which an adjourn
ment was taken to this evening at the
same hour and place.
During the meeting it was stated that
A. D. Campton had offered to convey
to the District the four or five lots ad
joining the school grounds on the east,
for the sum of 800, and it was the
general opinion that they should be
secured without delay.
