taken up. / was decided by vote of

after a motion To fix the salery at Sl,5UO
was voted down. The question will be
determined upon the length of school
term for the past year, which seems to
exceed seven and ono-half months, and
it will not likely be less than 1880, but
no part of that sum will be taken from
the appropriation for Forest county.
Nominations were then made as fol-
lows; Il. +. Stitzingor, the present in
cumbont, II. n. Speer and II. L. Arm

The Bodies still Missing.

Since Monday telephone messages from
Cairo have been received every night Civ

ing of bodies, but the waters still keep
our loved ones in their embrace.

which leaves Cairo in the morning at 5
O'Clock for the scene of the disaster, re-
turning in the evening. l.. G. Portertield
has had one gang of men under him and
J. b. White another, and the gruesome
work goes on day after day without re-
suit,

the wreck in the way of toilet articles,
but no clothing or baggage has been To-

missed that they were awakened, had
time TO dress and get hold of the door and
shutter as floats, and then jumped over
board. Whether they were struck 10y

is surmise. But it is generally thought
that they will be found together, as Mr..
Magill. who was a powerful swimmer,
would not have left Mr. Hunter who was
not.
So far as we can learn, the boat or
wheel have not been raised or moved.
and they may be imprisoned under one
