gard to fines belonging to school

The question of consolidation in
Indian Springs was first presented
to the Board by the County Superin-
tendent. A map of the three dis
tricts was presented showing the
roads, the location of the schools as
they are now arranged, the proposed
line dividing the three districts into
two, and the distances to the remote
corners of the consolidated districts.
The Superintendent also reports that
in one of the enlarged districts, there
are 139 school children, and in the
other SO. The Superintendent also
presented reports of two meetings
held in these districts for the pur-
pose of discussing the question OF
consolidation. One of these reports
show that at the meeting at Zion 40
patrons of the school were present,
81 in favor of consolidation, and l
agains. it, and two undecided. The
other report shows II were in favor
of consolidation, against and 2 I'M
decided.
Mr.. James Ward presented a Pc
tition against consolidation with 43
n on said petition.
A motion to consolidate was made
by Mr.. w. F. English. Mr., Barnes
Aycock offered the following substi-
tute for Mr.. English's motion: "That
two petitions be circulated in the
districts, one for consolidation and
one against consolidation, and that
said petition be returned to the
Board on Monday, August II, when
the Board governed by said petit
tions will decide whether said three
districts are to be consolidated or
not" Mr. Aycock's substitute pre-
vailed, and the petitions were writ
ten and sent to the people.
A report in full for fines collected
by the town of Eureka was received
and approved. Said report covers
the period from Sept. 5, 1898, to
July 1, 1908, and shows that fifty

Dear, folded hands, so worn with
care,
So quiet on the pulseless breast,
Will any burden need you there,
If Heaven is a place of rest?
And you, dear heart, will you forget
The struggles of these lower lands?
Or is there some sweet service yet
For folded hands?
Yours was the never-ending task
Born of a never-ending need,
Our selfshness, it was, to ask,
Your sweet unseIfshness to heed,
And now in the unwonted rest
Long promised in the better lands,
How can you sit an idle guest
With folded hands?
No tears to dry, no wounds to bind,
No sufferer to tend and bless
Where will those eager fingers find
A need for all their tenderness?
Yet, knowing all they did before.
Perchance the Father understands,
And holds some precious work in
store
For folded hands.

Catarrh OF the Stomach.

When the stomach is overloaded;
when food is taken into it that fails
to digest, it decays and irfames the
mucous membrane, exposing the
nerves and eauses the glands to e
crete mucin, instead of the natural
juices of digestion. This is called
Oatarrh of the Stomach, caused by
indigestion. Doctors and medicines

LIVES AND PROPERTY
WERE LOST IN FIRE,
Thenter and Y. NJ. C. A. Building

Thenter and Y. NJ. C. A. Building
Burned at Springfield. Mo.
Springfield, Mo- Feb. 19.-Three lives
were lost in an early morning fire here
which destroyed the Fountain Square
Theater and the new Young Mems
Christian Association building. The
total loss is s325OOO, insurance $780,
900.
The worst feature of the fire occurred
a little before daybreak, when J. H.
Mulholland, the proprietor of a jew
elry store, aided by several spectators,
was removing his stock. Without any
warning the heavy walls of the theater
block toppled over. 1t is not known yet
how many were pinioned under the
ruins, but so far the following dead
have been taken out:
j. H. Mulholland, Dorsey Crane and
Albert Voorhees,.
The injured are: Harry Erect, War
rem Pickard and Fireman Rude.
All but Rude are expected to recover.
The fire is of unknown origin.

C0TT0N'S RAPID CLIMB.
Bull Operators Chiefly Responsible
for Advances.

New York, Feb. 19.-This was a dav
of sensational developments in the cot
ton market, prices advancing about 20
points over last nights closing. May
contracts show an advance of almost
exactly 1 cent per pound over the clos
ing figures of Feb. 3, an advance of 100
points having developed in fifteen days.
Prices are 2 cents a pound higher than
they were on Nov. IA.
Such a rapid enhancement in value
is almost without precedent in the his
tory of the trade. While the storm
which has been,g general throughout the
country, and which has seriously inter-
fered with the movement of cotton,
is responsible to some extent for to-
days rise, the improvement is rather
more directly attributal to the manipu-
lation of the three cliques of bull OPP
orators, who are credited with con-
trolling the market in New Orleans,
New York and Liverpool.
The New Orleans clique and it's fol-
lowing is currently credited with the
ownership of 100000 bales of spots and
futures. The New York clique, known
in the trade as the Boston syndicate.
is supposed to hold as much, while the
Liverpool market is dominated by a
group of Egyptian operators with head
quarters in Alexandria, whose holdings
are supposed to be at least $4,000 bales.

TRIAL OF DUNCAN
Drew Many Spectators to the Court
in Louisville.


Pittsburg, Feb. 19.-The criminal
court was crowded to-day when the
trial of DR.. Ellis Duncan of Louisville
KY, who is charged with the felonious
shooting of Bruce Head, formerly of
Louisville, was called.
Both Head and Duncan were wit
nesses. Head testified that Duncan fir
ed at him without warning. DIR. Duncan
said he accused Head of intimacy with
Mrs. Duncan. Duncan said to Head
when my wife reached Pittsburg
you met her at the station. You took
her to a restaurant. You made her so
drunk that when you took her to GER
tain house she thought she was at the
Anthony home. You kept her in that
house two nights and two days. Twice
after that you wronged her and me-"
He attempted to deny it and / said,
"You need not lie; L have your letters
and my wife's confession. l have come
here to horsewhip you" With that he
cried out, You have come here to kill
me- but l will kill you first"
HE then jumped at me, drawing his
revolver. 1 tried to get away, but he
was on me, and knowing he meant to
kill me, l drew my revolver and fired"

Accident Is Ascribed to That Fact
by Attorney.
New York, Feb. 19.-Walter w. Ross,
general counsel for the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railway
Company made a statement to-day.
Where the crossing is" Mr. Ross
said, there is a steep grade, which we
have been informed sloped about eight
feet in seventy-hve. 1t is the rule and
custom for trolley cars to come to a
full stop at all crossings. At that
point we have a gate and a watch
man.
He received a signal by bell from
Roseville, about a minute or q minute
and a half before the train came, and
so lowered his gate. The trolley car
came down the steep grade, the mo-
torman having lost control, and
smashed into the gate. The gate is
broken Off showing that 1t had been
down. The car crashed into the
front and side of the engine OF our
train, breaking off the beam and part
of the steam apparatus of the engine.
The side of the cab was smashed. in
juring our engineer.
From all the information we can
get there was absolutely no blame to
be attached to the engineer, and the
accident was the result of no fault of
the Lackawauna road.
"As far as we can learn, the accl-
dent was the direct result of the over
crowding of the trolley car. / am
told that there were at least 100 per-
sons upon it,"

wild Excitement.
Los Angeles, Feb. 1.-Two uhmasked
men held up and robbed a carload of
passengers on the Los Angeles-Pasa-
dena train last night. Thirty-two pas
sengers, one-half of whom were wom-
en-, were forced at points of revolvars
to surrender cash and jewelry to the
amount of between $500 and $500.
The robbers performed their work
Quickly but effectively. The car was
held for ten minutes. The men then
left it and disappeared in the dark
ness. The hold-up was carried out in
a way that marked the two outlaws as
being old hands at the business.
With revolvers in their hands, they
stood in the doors and in foul language
ordered everybody to dig up the coin
and jewelry without monkey business.
The robber at the rear door stood
up on a box, and from this command
ing position covered the startled pas
sengers with his revolver. The other
robber passed down the aisle, taking
pocketbooks, coin and watches and
thrusting them carelessly into his coat
pockets. While taking the property of
the passengers, the bandit kept up a
flow of abuse.
Called Bluff at Resistance.
John w. Gay, agent of the Ray
mond- Whitcomb excursion, narrowly
escaped being shot by the robbers. He
resisted being searched, pushing the
robber back. Instantly the man SHOW
ed his revolver towards Gays face.
The latter struck the weapon upwards
just as the trigger was pulled, and
the bullet passed through the roof of
the car
Another passenger showed some in
clination to resist.
Get your heads out of the way,
there" ordered the man at the rear
door, until get that mani"
With that he turned his revolver
upon the unwilling passenger, who
quickly gave up his valuables.
The women passengers were terroriz-
ed, MANY of them screaming. No dis
tinction Of sex was made and the
women gave over their money and
watches without a show of reluctance.
The conductor and motorman were
told to keep their hands above their
heads. The robbers forgot to search
Conductor DaNhoff, and consequently
missed about $50.

RUMORS HURT STOCKS.

Sent Down MetropOIitnns and
Metropolitan Securities.
New York. Feb. 19.-Rumors affect
ing the financial policy of the Metro
politan Street Railway Company,
which had been current in the financial
district for several weeks, eliminated
to-day in what appeared to be a bear
attack on the shares of the Metropoi-
tan company and Metropolitan Secu-
rites, the holding company of the OPP
Grating line. The shares of both COM
panies suffered severely while the raid
was on, the traction stocks making a
maximum decline of over 8 points. and
the Securities stock selling off even
more. Partial recovery was made by
both issues before the close.
The attack on Metropolitan began
soon after the opening of the market
and gained in force shortly after noon,
when rumors of many sorts were cir
culated. One of these rumors reported
a defalcation of several million dol
lars, while another rumor limited at
| gross irregularities by insiders. To ado
to the feeling of distrust there were
heavy selling orders of Metropolitan
for Philadelphia account.
Officials of the Metropolitan COM
pany made prompt deniel of any trou-
BILE and characterized all such rumors
as malicious and inspired for stock
jobbing purposes. This view was ac-
cepted by the conservative element In
the street"
One of the partners in a leading
banking house, which has close rela-
tons with Metropolitan interests,
stated that he had made an investiga-
ton into the reports circulated recent
ly, and as a result of this investiga-
ton felt convinced that they were

Then the question was asked: Did
you hear him say you had sent him a
message by any one?" Mr.. Gonzales
answered: mo. he said something
like that. I sent him no message, so

The lawyers argued for several
hours.
