THE OFFICIAL REPORT.


The following report of the meeting has
been furnished US since our report above
was in type:
Pursuant to a call issued, mass meet
ing of the citizens of Bamberg School
District, No. a, was held in the town hall
on December 80. The meeting was called
to order by Mayor E. R. Hays and organ
lied by electing Capt. ]. B. Hunter chair
man and Jno. F. Folk secretary. The
object of the meeting was clearly stated
by Jno. r. Bellinger in business like
talk. Prof. G. r. Calhoun, in his usual
impressive manner, called to the atten-
ton of the citizens the pressing need of
better building and larger grounds to ac-
comodate the increased number of chill
dren now in attendance at the school.
Treasurer Jno. F. Folk believed that it
was generally conceded that Bamberg
was sadly in need of better buildings and
larger grounds and would not consume
the time of the meeting by discussing
that, but gave statement of the financial
condition of the district, showing that
it was amply able to erect the necessary
building if it wished to do so.
The following resolution was offered
by Mr.. A. w. Knight and unanimously
adopted: "Be it resolved by the citizens
of Bamberg School District, No. IA, in
mass meeting assembled, that it is the
sense of this meeting that an election be
held on the question Of whether or not
bonds shall be issued by the district to
the amount of $4,000, at rate of inter
est not exceeding per cent. per arnum,
for the purpose of purchasing lot and
erecting and furnishing public school
building for said school district, and that
the said election be held on the 10Th day
of January, 1908, and that j. D. Fielder.
G. A. Rice, and A. S. Easterling be ap-
pointed managers Of said election"
The following resolution was also
unanimously adopted: Resolved, that
committee of three be elected by this
meeting to provide all necessary details
for the election heretofore ordered, and
that if the bonds are voted to be issued,
that said committee prepare bill to be
submitted to the legislature authorizing
the issue of the bonds and providing fol-
a tax levy to meet the interest thereon
and the retirement of one of said bonds
annually, and such other purposes as may
be needed, and generally to transact al
manner of business necessary IN connec.
ton with the election and the issuing ano
| retiring of said bonds"
Pursuant to the above resolution Hon
Jno r. Bellinger, Hon. G. W. Garris, Col
John F. Folk were elected. There being
| no further business the meeting adj journec

determined that the spirit of the law

Many years ago Uncle Sam started

left in the hands of the government
about 500,0O000O acres of this vast

''If our present system of land acts
is continued five years longer. the en-
tire public domain suitable for settle

be no land left for our people who de-
sire to make homes upon 1t.
During the first ninety days of the
present fiscal year 6109, 900 acres of
government land were filed upon.
Should this increasing ratio be main
tanned. between twenty-five and thirty
million acres will be taken from the
public domain the present fiscal year. ="

CURES CROWS OF STEALING.
How Dutch Farmers Get Rid Of the
Little Pests,


The following clever way of keep
ing crows away from a cornfield is
used by the Dutch farmers:
He makes some small caps of stout
paper, and smears round the inner
side of the mouth of each some bird
lime or other sticky stun. In these
he puts some grains of corn, and
stands them about his fields by press
ing their points into soft earth.
When the crow finds one of these
paper caps he thinks himself very
fortunate, until he attempts to peck
at the tempting grain. when, to his
astonishment, he finds the cap at
tached to his head-a regular fools
cap-which will not even allow him
to see what course to take If he flies
up.
However, he succeeds in reaching
some coarse grass or bushes, and af-
ter much bewildered scrambling and
Topping about gets the head out of
this undesirable cap, but ever after
ward avoids the field where there are
more of them.

SANKEY'S SIGHT NOT GOING.
Alarming Rumor About the Great
EVANGELIST ls Denied.

Almost everybody has, at some
time or other, sung out of the Moody
& Sankey hymn book. And last
week it was said that Ira ID. Sankey,
old and in ill-health, had been stricken
blind.
Allen Sankey, eldest son of the
Evangelist, said in reference to his
fathers condition: THE report that
father is totally blind. or is going
to be, is an exaggeration. 1t is true
he has been having trouble with his
eyes for some time and has been
operated upon, but he is getting along
well and we trust his sight will be
little, if any, impaired. Worry about
his eyes and overwork have affected
his general health also. but rest will

Nutritive Value Of Oysters.

Although the actual amount of
hutritiye material in a raw oyster is
small, it comprises all classes of food
substances in a peculiarly assimilable
form. Generally speaking, the raw
mollusc consists of four-fifths water.
The danger-a remote one-of the
oyster containing living typhoid
germs may be obviated by the use of
lemon juice. The oyster is rendered
tough and indigestible by boiling.

throughout the state with the public
statement he issued recently, in
which he says conditions in Bis
marck, the states capital, are dis
graceful, corrupting and inexcusable,
''at least during the legislative ses-
sion," when the leading hotel of Bis
marck presents the features of
saloon, gambling house and a
brothel." He appeals to the people
of the state to improve conditions he
alleges to exist.
The desirability of legislative in
vestigation of the bishops charges
was discussed in Bismarck, but no
action was decided on. The proprietor
of the hotel, against which his
charges were aimed said that his
hotel was no better or worse than
any similar hostelry during a legis-
lative session. He explained Bishop
Mann's attack by saying that the
churchman recently stopped at the
hotel. His room was next to one oc-
cupied by a number of convivialsts,
who were having a jollifcation meet
ing. Liquor was drunk in the room
and some ribald songs were sung, the
meeting being participated in by
some members of the legislature and
attaches.
Bishop Mann succeeded Bishop Ed
sail as the head of the Protestant
Episcopal missionary diocese of
North Dakota. He is a son of the
Rev. duncan Cameron Mann, who
was a Protestant Episcopal minister
in New York, where Bishop Mann
was born fifty-three years ago. He
was ordained a priest in 1876, and
his first charge was at Albany N. Y.
When appointed bishop he was rector
of Grace church at Kansas City,
where he had been since 1882.
