THE kIMBALl PIANOS.
Take Place Of the Steinway and A. q.

CoIleQe.

The Chicago Musical College. one
of the largest musical institutions in
the country, presided over by DIR. F.
Ziegield, who for more than 80 years
has been a central figure in the mu.
steal upbuilding of America, than
whom but few are nor competent
to pass an opinion on piano struc-
ture, and piano tone, has within re-
cent years removed fifty Steinway
and A. B. Chase pianos from their in.
stitution and replaced them with new
scale Kimball pianos.
Now. when an institution of this
character. which. during its existence.
has been the center Of musical activ-
ity. impulse and influence. places in
its instruction rooms fifty Kimball
pianos, which include Is grades and
one full size concert grand. for the
recital hall, 1t means much. hence the
selection Of these instruments, by
such an authority is one of the most
flattering Of the many tributes show
cred upon the Kimball piano by
some of the most illustrious artists.
The Kimball instruments stand to-
day par excellence the highest musl-
cal production of the world, having
taken the highest award at the worlds
fair, held in Chicago in 1893, besides
having the Endorsement of the leading
musical artists of the world, such as
Lillian Nordica, Adelina Patti, Emma
Games, Sousa, Emma Calve, Minnie

Jean and Eduard De Reszke. and a
large majority of the most famous

POPULATION
IS INCREASING
Several Hundred More Children This
Year Than Last, Shown by su.
perintendent's Report.
LIBRARIES IN THE SCHOOLS
Greater Interest Being Taken by the
School Boards-other Statistics
Found in Annual Report.

Through the failure of some OF the
district clerks to send in their re.
ports the report of County Superin.
tendent of Schools Meyersick was un.
avoidably delayed this year. Even at.
ter waiting as long as she did there
were a few of the districts which were
not sent in and the county report had
to be made out without some of the
statistics. These were of small dis.
tricts. however. and would not effect
the general report to any appreciate
extent. so far as statistics are con-
cerned.
The report shows a substantial in.
crease in the number of children Of
school age in the county during the
past year. The report of 1902 showed
the number of children in the county
between the ages of 6 aud II years to
be 2.234. The report just issued
shows this number to have increased
to 2.4S3. The increase in the number
OF children under 6 years Of age is
of about the same proportion.
In district No. 1. of which Lewis
town Is a part. there are S21 children
between the ages of 6 and 81. or these
All are boys and 404 are girls. There
are 80 children under 6 years Of age.
1873 OF them being boys and 1853 being
girls. The district built two school
houses during the year. The value Of
the school property In the district Is
$37. 500. The report shows that only
five out OF As districts In the county
voted favorably on the free text book
proposition last fall. Some Of these.
however. have found the system not
what they thought II would be and
have failed to purchase the books.
Sixteen of the az districts have H.
braries. This part of the school equip
ment is receiving the attention Of the
trustees. and not only the number OF
libraries. but the number OF books In
those already established. are rapidly
increasing. The county superintend-
ent is encouraging the purchase OF H.
brary books and II Is safe to say that
almost every teacher In the county
is working to the same purpose. This
united effort Is awakening the trls-
tees to the value of the library in gen.
eral school work. and 1t will be but a
few more terms before every school
in the county can claim some sort Of
a library.
There are 80 log school houses in
Fergus county. But many of them
are capacious and all Of them are
comfortably furnished. There are 10
frame and 2 brick buildings. The
value of the school buildings Of the
county Is $3.50. This will be in
creased by at least 100000 by next
year, as the new high school building

a stop, the GREY having found out in
some amer that the other train was

This time the stop was only five
hours. There were thirty passengers
in the small caboose, which did not
have seats for half that number. They
took turns at resting. To add to the
general pleasantness of the situation
on the way up from Lombard, the
oil was out of the lamps and the only
light furnished was from a brake.

half candle power, and furnished II.

The next move was up towards Gar

two hours the passengers were trans

was on this side of the sno drift.
Several members of the party have
expressed themselves very emphati-

management on the part of the Off

be absolutely incapable of telling
what step they should take next. A

Tacoma. Wash. Dec. 1.-THE pres.
ent Treadwell mines on Douglas Is
land, Alaska. will be dwarfed in mag.
nitude by the same company's un.
foreground workings when the two
miles of tunnel now being started by
order OF ID. o. Mills are completed.
The mine is already FAMOUS as the
largest gold mine in the world. Az.
ter more than a year of civil engineer
ing work was started last week on the
tunnel, which is intended to tap TWEEN
ty rich lodges in the Silver Bow ba-
sin near Juneau. The tunnel will be
nearly 10000 feet long. With contin
uous work II can be completed in
eight months.
The tunnel commences 600 feet
above tidewater on Gastineux chan
mel and will pierce the mountains
with a gradual slope, giving water
drainage. Electric drills, compressed
air fans and other modern equipment
will be used.
The boring of the tunnel follows a
recent acquisition by the Treadwell
company of a group of rich Silver
Bow basin mines on which the Now
ellis of Juneau and Boston had al.
ready expended s1,00O,00O. The min.
ing engineers believe the tunnel will
cut many lodges besides those ar
ready traced along the surface. II il

digging machine can be made to pro-
duce large profits. Several Lewis

costs several thousand dollars and,
having located the grounds, the next
object will be to raise sufficient
money to purchase the machine.
