Anaconda, May so.-All is expectation in
the school scandal case, which it is be.
licved the committee Of the school board
will investigate tonight.
That Principal J. B. Walker of the
High School, kissed Miss Amy Stebbins,
one OF his pupils, was the charge laid be-
fore tee board by her sister, Mrs. Nellie
Graham, and which will occupy the atten-
tion Of the board.
Other sensational developments are ex-
pected and it is said other charges will be
brought, which will make it one of the
ugliest pieces of news that have come be-
fore the people Of Anaconda for some time.
The sentiment seems to be against the
principal, and it is believed by many that
there is much in store for him.
In an interview he stated that he be-
lieved Mr.. Koontz was doing everything
for the best interests OF the schools upon
which many are asking the pertinent qucs-
tion if the Suppression of the charge of in
sulting his pupils was for the best inter-
ests of the schools
The committee is composed Of Trustees
Jones, Cox and Nell.
1t is recognized by most of the people
here that two members OF the committee
have been interested in the retention of
Mr.. Walker all along, while public senti-
ment seems to be pretty strongly against
him.
A number of the representative citizens
are quoted as stating that they will stand
for no whtewashing in this case, however,
and public meeting is not an improbable
ity.
Mrs Graham states that after the kiss
ing episode Mr.. Walker. seeing that the
girl did not enjoy it bit, threatened to
expel her if she made any trouble. This
threatened expulsion Walker admits. but
says that he spoke tp her because of her
misconduct in the school.
Attorney Duffy wi1 be present in the
interest Of the school district and it is
believed that the principal will also have
an attorney at the Investigation.
A number of witnesses will be examined.
One Of the pertinent questions that will be
asked will be why Superintendent Koontz
kept the matter secret at the first report of
it. and to this extent the investigation
affects him also.

Little Interest Taken.

A number of years before there had
been a hourishing club in Anaconda,
which accounted for the club house. Such
little interest was taken i'll trap shoot
ing, however, that the quarters of tho
Gun club was more often taken for the
pest house, which was close by than for
what it really was.
Messrs. Mahan and Nell stuck to their
shooting, however, for pure love of the
sport. After a time l.. G.. Smith decided
to take up the sport again and he was fol-
lowed shortly by James Cochran. These
four shot as regularly as Sunday came
around. Finally Frank klcpctko joined
them and this raised the number to five.
For weeks and weeks this was the
membership of the club although OCCASION
al shooters dropped in to try their skill.
Then the membership began to increase
and these five original members were
elected the officers of the club. Their
work did not stop there. The state meet

Said He Was Hard-Up and Needed the
 Money.

San Francisco. February IA young man who gave his name to the police as R. G. Sutton, of New Orleans, but who was subsequently, identified as Ray Sut- ton Garlick, of Tacoma, has been arrest ed on charges of forgery and obtaining goods by false pretense. Representing himself as the nephew of William AL word, president of the Bank of Califor- mia, Garlick bought a gold watch and diamond ring from w. E. Vanderice & Co.,, and offered in payment a check for $100, bearing MT. Alvord's signature. He had previously telephoned to the firm that he would call to make some pur- chases, and Mir. Alvord, when notified of the fact, pronounced the alleged nephew a fraud. A policeman was, therefore, in waiting. and after the check had been passed, Garlick was placed under arrest. In his pockets were found six checks. all bearing the forged signature of Will liam Alvord.
 His books showed that he came here recently from Tacoma en route to enter the University of Chicago The young man was well supplied with money when he came here He stopped at the Palace hotel. He said: T forged those checks because l got hard up and needed the money"

TO THE QUEEN.

By Alfred Tennyson.
 Revered beloved-O you that hold
 A nobler office upon earth
 Than arms. or power of brains. or birth Could give the warrior kings of old. Victoria-snce your royal grace
 To one of less desert allows
 This laurel greener from the brows Of him that utter'd nothing base: And should your greatness. and the cara
 That yokes with empire, yield you time
 To make emand of modern rhyme If aught of ancient worth be there; Then-while sweeter music wakes,
 And thro' wild March the throstle calls,
 Where all about your palace walls The sunlit almond blossom shakes Then Madam this poor book of song:
 For tho the faults were thick as dust
 In vacant chambers, I could trust Your kindness. May you rule us long  And leave us rulers of your blood
 As noble till the latest day.
 May children of our children say "She wrought her people lasting good; "Her court was pure her life serene;
 God gave her peace; her land reposed,
 thousand claims to reverence closed In her as mother, wife and queen; And statesmen at her council met
 Who knew the seasons when to take
 Occasion by the hand, and make The bounds of freedom wider yet ~By shaping some august decree,
 Which kept her throne unshaken still,
 Broad-based upon her peoples will, And compass'd by the inviolate ssa.''

 The barber shop sponge must go. Health Commissioner Lederle has so de- creed. "No more nusanitary appliance exists than the barber shop sponge" said Dr. Lederle today. Tt is a menace to every face; it is medium for the car rying of disease. There is no excuse for it, and have decided that it must not be used in New York shops.
 ''Skin diseases are conveyed by the bar Der shop sponge from man to man. At the present time there Is prevalent in Cleve- land and epidemic of skin disease, the origin of which has been traced to barber shop sponges. Every barber in New York will be notified to refrain from using sponges in his shop. I want patrons of barber shops to report to me every case of violation of the rule.
 There is absolutely no hardship to bar bers in this rule. The sponge is the tool of the lazy man.

SIau As a Fertilizer.

Ihe latest bulletin issued by the Department of Agriculture-No. 144- discusses soil fertility, and the use of basic slag as fertilizer. The slag is rich in lime and phosphorus. The phosphorus is driven out of the molten iron by the use of an extra quantity of lime in the stack The slag con tains 15 per cent of free lime and about 40 per cent combined of other substances. Slag of average quality contains from ,15 to 20 per cent of phosphoric acid. The only thing needful in the use of slag is fine grind ing, the finer the better. At present in this district there are two cement mills that grind slag to the utmost degree of fineness, and there is no reason why the farmers of Alabama should not utilize this fertilizing ma terial.
 The bulletin states that slag has been used for fertilizing purposes in Europe for many years. In 1899 it was used to the extent of 1,655.000

Alabama Public Lands.

The Troy Normal School and the Montgomery Normal School for ne- groes are endeavoring to grab through a bill in Congress 50,000 acres of pub lie lands in the State. There are about 500,000 acres of public lands remaining unsold in Alabama, and it is shame that these lands must be left to be grabbed by this or that Institution that can command pull" at Washington. instead of being handed over to the barefoot boys and girls of the State impartially.
 These lands are so unstable un. der the standing regulations of the government that the annual sales within the State are not sufficient to meet the annual expenses of their care, and the government would Der haps be glad to be rid of them.
 It seems strange that first one school then another can lobby a bill through donating a slice of these lands, and that the entire Alabama delegation cannot push bill through giving these lands to the pubic schools of the State It is an illus tration of modern Congressional prac- tices, however. What is everybody's business is nobody's business.
 Congressman Bennett introduced a bill in the first days of the session giving all the Alabama public lands to the public schools of the State. Is the Alabama delegation unable to pro- cure favorable report of that bill? Has it tried to secure one at all? What is the delegation doing, any way?

MISSING MINISTER FOUND.
His Family Had Long Since Given Him
 Up as Dead.

New York, February 7.-After five years absence. the Rev. Edward A. Wal doo who formerly was connected with the University Settlement Society of this city, has been heard from at San Fran cisco.
 MT. Waldoo himself, after the long silence following his mysterious disap- pearance from New York ia the summer of 1896, first sent word to his family, who had long ago given him up as dead and his brother. George B. Waldoo, an artist of this city, has started for San Francis co. It was to his aged father. Simon S. Waldoo. one of the leading business men of New Haven, Conn, that the missing minister sent the letter. Realizing their probable fears of a joke, he had taken the precaustion to have the letter coun- tersigned by a San Francisco minister, with whom he is temporarily staying.
 Mir. Waldoo left the headquarters of the New York University Settlement So- clety on the afternoon of July 1S 1S96 and between there and his home he disap- peared. Detectives traced him as far as a Mississippi river town where he was supposed to have boarded boat for New Orleans, but there the cew ended.
 Once before Dr. Waldoo had similar experience He labored in Chicago before coming to this city, and while doing mis- sion work there he disappeared. He had been raising a large fund for the purpose of buying provisions for the poor of Chi cago. Some weeks later Dr. Waldoo was found wandering aimlessly about the streets of Tallahassee, Fla. It was three weeks before he could tell his name.

Former Senator Edmunds' Exhaustive Report on the Ship>Subsidy BILL

Americans have absolute free trade in foreign-going ships, so no shipbuild- ers' trust is possible under the bill. Shin builders can import now, free of dufv. materials for ships for foreign trade. SD no combination to raise prices of ma terials is practicable.
 "If an American shipowner would build his vessel in the United Staates. employing home labor, employing Ameri- can officers and crews, performing cer- tain services for the American govern ment, and using the vessel to promote American commerce he will be paid a subsidy sufficient to put him on an equal ity with the foreign shipowner employ ing foreign labor and serving a foreign government.
 'The average cost of building ocean steamers mainly for cargo is $102 per ton in the United ,Lates and $76 in Great Britian Average monthly wages on ocean steamers mainly for cargo are: American. s36 British, $26; German and Scandinavian, s17. The general subsidies proposed equalize American and foreign costs on these bases.
 "The bill will promote the building of new vessels of large carrying capacity which promote export trade at low freight rates. Combined with our geo. graphical position, it gives special ad- vantages to American vessels in the Pac- fife trade.
 Based on actual navigation of Ameri- can vessels in foreign trade in 1900, the subsidies proposed would amount to $1, 075,0O0 divided as follows: Steam (Exclud- ing mail vessels), $559,0O0; sail, $513, 00O Geographically: Atlantic ocean, s444,ooo; Pacific ocean, s467oO0; square-rigged ships on both oceans, $161,0 ,000.
 Full compliance with all requirements for the bill would fix the initial expendi- lures at between $S00,OO and $9OO,O ,OOO.
 Under the general subsidy increase in expenditure depends on increase in ship building. The completion of 100000 tons of ocean steamers for foreign trade in one year. involving $1,300,00O in subsidies, will place the United States in advance of Germany as a shipbuilding nation.
 "The deep-sea fisheries bounty Is to en- courage an industry which from the bat tie of Lexington to the battle of Santi- ago has furnished more men proportion ately for the national defense than any other American industry. The annual ex- penditure Is estimated at $175,0O0. This amount offsets $16o0Oo paid to prpmste fisheries by Canada, which uses for vhe purpose the annual interest on s5,50ONuo paid by the United States to Canada kn- der the Halifax award in 1S7S For Av- enty years the United States paid boVn- ties to deep-sea fishermen.
 "The President of the United States has general supervision of regulations to enforce the act''
