PORTUGUESE KING
AN EXCELLENT SHOT,
Often Shoots Apples Which the
Queen Holds on Her Head.

LONDON, Dec. ,.-The recent
visit of the king of Portugal has
interested Englishmen to a greater
degree than they are usually inter
ested in visiting royalty, for the
king is very popular in England.
The king comes of literary stock,
although he seems to possess little
taste in literature himself. His
father made what is considered a
very good translation of Shakes
peare into Portuguese.
The present king takes much
pride in his ability as shooter. In
a shooting gallery recently he fired
16 shots at the manikin used as
a target and at each shot hit the
figure in the shoulder, the point
aimed at. His skill is so well
known that the queen often allows
him to shoot an apple from her
head in the manner of William Tell.
The queen herself is a woman OF
high intelligence and is very pop
ular among her people. She is in
no sense Questioning. and if she
were forced to earn her living she
could easily do so as physician or
q nurse, for she has taken full
course in medicine and surgery and
is an accredited physician.

PACKERS PLAN RAILWAY.

The allied packers of Kansas City
and Omaha have formed a gigantic
plan that embraces the connection of
Sioux City, Omaha. Chicago, St.
Joseph and Kansas City by a double
track railway and an extension into
Texas and the cattle country of the
southwest
The plan is in fact, to ship stock in
their own cars to their own consum-
ers over their own lines to cattle
centers of the country.
1t means the control of the cattle
from the time they leave the ranges
until they are dressed ready for mar
ket. With such a railway in opera
tion the packers will be able to defy
railroads and tariffs west OF Chicago.

EFFECT OF ADVANCE.

The coming advance of rates on

are skeptical about the rates from
this northwestern territory. from
Chicago to the Pacific coast, remain

There is a movement on foot to
advance the export flour rate from

ers maintain the rate is exorbitant
ana that if an additional 5 cents a
barrel be added it will affect their
rates in the east, and possibly cut off
export sales entirely.

ALL teachers
RE-APPOINTED
ACTION TAKEN BY COMMITTEE
LAST NIGHT.
The Only Changes Will Be Where
Teachers Have signified Their
Intention Of Resigning - High
School Teachers Will Also Be Re-
tained in service-Probability Of
the Erection of an Academic Build
ing Adjoining Proposed New Nor
NAL Training School.

At meeting of the teachers COM
mittee of the board of control. held last
night, 1t was decided to re-appoirft all
the teachers employed at present by
the board. There will be but two or
three vacancies. as far as Is known at
present, and Chairman Barker refused
to announce the names of those APP
pointed to fill these.
The high and training committee de-
cided to re-appoint all the High school
teachers. AS far as is known at pres
ent there is no prospect of any vacancy
at that institution.
At the meeting of the high and train
ing committee the manual training
school question came up for discussion,
and 1t seemed to be the concensus OF
opinion among the members present
that the board should erect building
adjoining the school for academic pur-
poses. The manual training school Is
to be devoted entirely to manual train
ing work. but it is intended that the
pupils studying there shall take up
other lines of studies as we'll and for
the purpose of giving instruction in
regular school work it Is deemed adj
visable to erect this other building.
The trustees appointed by Mrs. Smith
to assume charge of the fund of $50,OO0.
which she set aside for the erection of
the manual training school, are to meet
with the special committee of the
school board in the near future to de-
eide upon an architect to prepare plans
for the building.
The building committee met last
night also and approved the plans for
the two-roon addition to No. SO, pre-
sented by Architect John A. Duck
worth. 1t was also decided to recon-
mend to the board that the ground
around schools No. 20, 90 and 80 be
graded, and that retaining wall be
erected in the rear of No. 16 school.

A New Industry.

A short time ago the Boston Herald
commented on the scarcity of timber
for pulp in the United States. stating
that the paper making industry of the
world will soon be largely dependent
on Canada for timber for pulp. AT the
same time two trade papers, the Fourth
Estate and the Southern Industrial
Review. commented on the same i'm
portant ISSUE The Fourth Estate Of
May 10th, 1902, stated that pulp enter
!prises in Canada are attracting the at
tention of British and foreign capital,
which realize the great opportunities
which such investments offer, while
the Southern Industrial Review wrote:
"A material which nature may renew
yearly must be discovered and adapt
ed to the trade and the most natural
sources must be sought in the field Of
agriculture or among the flbres and
grasses which have annual growth"
Hardly We're above remarks in
print when the industrial world learned
through the announcement of the Ma
tional Fiber and Cellulose Co., of
Chicago that that company had
secured the exclusive ownership of
the Sherwood Process for turning
waste cornstalks into pulp for
paper which will make the United
States and the rest of the world inde-
pendent of Canada in regard to their
supply of pulp. The products of the
National Fiber & Cellulose Co. are the
best that can be furnished. An idea
of the magnitude Of this new industry
can be formed when one considers that
the waste tonnage of cornstalks in the
corn belt of the u. $. amounts to over
5S.O00O00 tons annually. All this waste
will be turned into wealth. While the
enormous supply will renew itself with
every years corn-crop,
The Mail Order Journal in COM
menting upon the matter says; ''This
new industry will be a great blessing
for farmers, laborers, railroads and in
vestors. Before long there will be
erected in every corn producing section

WILL BE FOR PATTIS0N,
Lackawanna Delegates to Democratic
State Convention Favor the
Philadelphian for Governor.

Lackawanna will send solid Patti
son delegation to the Democratic state
convention, at Erie, next Wednesday,
and one of the delegation, Colonel II.
j. Fitzsimmons. will probably make the
speech nominating the Philadelphia
man for governor.
From the advices reaching here, there
is scarcely a question as to the head of
the ticket. Pattison is wanted, and Col
onel Guffey, who will be in control of
the convention, is set on having him.
Guthrie, of Allegheny, and Kerr, of
Clearfield, are discussed simply as al
tentative propositions. Guthrie has the
Allegheny delegation pledged, but it is
not likely he will fight, with Pattison
in the field. Kerr is considered nothing
more or less than lightning rod. There
is every indication that Colonel Guffey
will dictate Il slate with Pattison at the
head and that this slate will go through
without opposition.
Guthrie can have the nomination for
lieutenant governor il he wants it, but
1t is not probable he will care to take
it. 1t Is desirable that there should be
an Allegheny man on the ticket and if
Guthrie is not on 1t, the chances are
that John b. Larkin, the new city con-
troller of Pittsburg, will be named for
one of the offices.
Colonel Fitzsimmons Is pretty we'll
satisfied that Lackawanna can have a
place on the ticket If 1t seeks one. AS
yet no one from this county has been
discussed as possibility, but there is
plenty of available timber and it is not
altogether impossible that some Demo-
crat from up this way will be given a
place.
