COIOred Man Drowned.

George CASTOR, II deck hand en-
ployed on the steamer Crescent, was
drowned in the lake last Sunday
morning. The accident occurred at
the boats dock, foot of Central ave.
The deck hands had just finished
scrubbing the boat, and, as is their
Sunday morning custom, turned their
attention to scrubbing themselves.
Three of them had jumped into the
lake and were swimming about. Cas-
ton, who could not swim, sat on the
deck, made some inquiries as to the
depth of the water, and was advised
not to come in. But the sight of the
other hands swimming about looked
good to him and he determined to
try it himself. Herman Terry, the
fireman on the boat, was the only
white person who saw the drowning.
He says that CASTOR called to the
men in the water to catch him, and
then made jump. He struck the
water feet first and went down like a
log; but, unlike a log, he didn't
come up.
The boys in the water waited for
him short time, and when he failed
to rise, they got scared. Will Cole
man, foreman of the gang, dived for
him but failed to find him. The boys
tried to locate him by the bubbles on
the surface, and the bubbles seemed
to lead away from the boat and some
distance out from where the man
went down. His body was located
with pole after he had been in the
water nearly an hour.
When brought to the surface the
body was hauled onto the dock and
laid out in the warehouse.
The circumstances attending the
drowning were communicated to the
authorities in Palatka by the deputy
sheriff and as it was purely accident
al, it was decided that an inquest was
unnecessary. A good many people
went to the warehouse during the
day to view the body and make in
quiry regarding the accident. The
funeral was held at an early hour
Monday morning.
CASTOR was a young man not over
28 years of age. He had been en-
ployed on the Crescent as deck hand
for about one year and was a steady
hand. He came from Albany, Ga.

Mayor Cowles held his first court
Monday morning at six o'clock. The
cases were those of the three sur
viving deck hands of the Crescent
who went in swimming off the boat
Sunday morning at the time George
CASTOR was drowned. 1t has been
the custom of these men to go in
the lake every Sunday morning.
No one has seen them but anyone
might see them. Anyway the prac-
tice is clearly against the ordinance.
The mayor imposed fine of So and
costs, making total of 81 that each
had to pay. 1t will probably stop
the practice.

Work for Us All.

Word comes to the News that Mr..
George H. Libby of Portland, Maine,
who recently purchased the Lake
view block from M. H. Read, is doing
a whole lot of hard plugging for
Crescent City and that it is more
than likely he will interest several
families to the extent of getting them
to come here next winter, and with
the view to becoming permant resi-
dents. This is certainly nice in Mr..
Libby, but not more than could be
expected of any wide-awake Ameri-
can, who, when he has a good thing,
is always anxious to share his good
fortune with others.
Mr.. Libby, as a prospective resi-
dent of Crescent City, is doing well
to get others to come here. 1t is
now his town and he is going to work
good, and earnestly, for its advance
ment.
There is a lesson in this for all of
us. We may not all be able to do as
much as Mr.. Libby, but all can do
something. We can all begin now
and work as individuals to keep our
own premises neat, and we can work
collectively, as a town, to put the
town in order.
One thing in particular has attract
ed much unfavorable comment this
winter, and that is the present diIap-
idated condition of the lake Crescent
front to the town. There are too
many old wrecks in the water. They
should be removed.
1t is quite generally believed that
Crescent City is about to enter upon
an era of prosperity. Each one of
us, and the town officials, have q
part to perform in bringing about
that time. And the present is a good
time to begin.
Let us present pretty town to the
eye of our northern visitors when
when they come down next fall.

CONSIDERED A DESPERATE PAIR
Rounded Up by Billy Moore and
Landed in Jail Last
Evening

l',go cosy corners in sam Logan's
hotel were occupied last night by Il
couple Of horse thieves who were landed
by Billy Moore, the deputy sheriff {
Stanley county.
The names of the unlucky two are
Sammy Dolphus ard Louis LaBrock.
That they are Il desperate pair is shown
from the fact that the former is said to
have served term in the penitentiary
and the latter for some reason has found
it advisable to so under an assumed
name, his real name being Boucker
The place from where they took the
horses, which belonged to John Hol-
land, was at a point near the Cheyenne
river. 1t was discovered last Sunday
that they were busily engaged in
changing the brands on the bunch of
horses and they were allowed to pro
ceed with the work, the discoyerers
being willing to await developments.
| This work was going on in pasture
but Notwithstanding the fact that the
animals were fenced in seven of them
got away after they were properly dec
GRATED with the new brands, and the
promoters of the enterprise found it
necessary to start out with only three
head.
Although they were suspected, they
succeeded in making good start tow
ard escape but were followed up by
! their trai! toward the north and caught
by the deputy witN the three horses in
their possession.
1t was a tired Billy Moore who, too
tired to sleep, stood on the street this
morning. aFer three days and nights
he had been in the saddle without a
| wink of sleep, but he has the satsfac-
F; ton of knowing that he has probably
rid the country of a pair of decidedly
| undesirable citizens.

PUPILS WORK
Literary, scientific, mechanical and
artistic. An exhibit of pupils work
may be made to represent the work of
a school with considerable clearness
and fidelity; but in order to do this it.
must be honestly prepared and intelli-
gently labeled. Very often exhibits of
/ the written work of pupils are almost
worthless as a representation of the
Hmethods used, and results obtained, be-
cause they show nothing of what has
been done to prepare the pupil to pro-
duce the written work. Bound vol
umes of work arranged by years or
grades, and illustrating fully the curri-
cnluia iSse the solid, scientific and in-
| dispensible portions of an exhibit.
Free-hand drawing, color work, Illus
STATIONS, map-draWing, etc, from the
nature of the work, always occupy a
prominent place, and specimens of pu-
pills work in physics, chemistry and bi-
ology are valuable exhibits.

Industrial and technical training, man
nal training has made great progress in

and typical exhibit will be prepared uli-
/ der the supervision Of all expert.
EXHIBIT REGULATIONS
Flat exhibits charts, drawings, pho.
tos, ETC., should be shown in wall
! frames or wall cabinets. For the latter
4 the standard dimensions of the cards
! Will be 22x2S inches, the latter dimen-
sion being vertical 1t is recommended
i that all cardboard used for this purpose
be OF court gray color.
The use OF wall cabinets for complete
exhibits is also recommended, as the ar
rangement of all material is thus on the
''eye line ami is much more readily oh.
served than when spread over the same
4 amount OF fiat wall. A further advan-
tage is that system of drawing, Ian
guage study, nature work, etc, can be
Rdeveloped continuously in one or more
OF these cabinets, thus avoiding both
/ the laborious methods Of turning over
ruo or bnc =
process OF tracing italong an extended
. wall.
Photographs for albums or wall cab
inets should be either SxlO inches or
llxl4 inches i'll size, and should be
mounted directly on the full sized card
boa"d.
WRITTEN WORK
l. Pupils work should be written or
paper Sxl0 inches in size, except in the
subjects of drawing and botany.
z. The paper should DC of good
grade, and at the left cf each sheet d
margin OF III inches should be left fol
binding. Three fourths of an inch
margin is recommended on the Other
sides. Pupils may write on one or bot!
sides of the sheet, at the option OF the
teacher, care being taken to preserve
the binding margin.
3. In drawing and mounting botani
cal specimens, tie standard sizes OF pa
