and specifications were John A.
White, Of Vernon, j. S. Cobb, of
LewisvilIe, O. G.. Rockmore, Of
Amarillo, Scott Il Roland, Joe
Service and W. d Kirkland,
Some nine different plans were
introduced by these gentlemen
aud the board finally decided
upon one offered by Mr.. White
and this gentleman agreeing
thereto, it was decided to invite
bids thereon, to be further con
sidered by the board March t.
In adopting Mr.. Whites plan
the board agrees that should
his, Whites, bid be rejected and
the contract awarded to any of
the other bidders, on said plan,
that he, White, is to receive as
compensation as the architect
the sum of 2 per cent on the
contract price of the building,
1t is estimated that the build.
ing proper when completed will
cost about eleven thousand dol
lars. As payment the contract
or agrees to accept $1,000 in
school bonds at par and the
balance in cash.
Our school board has done
work in this matter-it

Pneumonia in Chicago.

Over 5000 people died of pneu-
monia in Chicago last year. In
every case the disease resulted
from a cold Had the cold been
promptly and properly treated at
the outset almost everyone would
have recovered. This statement IS
abundantly proven by the fact that
among the tens of thousands
throughout this country who use
Chamberlain 5 Cough Remedy to
cure their colds, no case of pneu-
monia has ever been reported,
which shows conclusively that this
remedy is a certain preventive Of
pneumonia. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy has gained its wide repu-
tation and enormous sale by the
prompt and eftectual cures of colds
and can always be depended upon.

MARKET REPORTS
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET,
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, March 31.-The suspension
of two trust companies. one in Cleveland
ana one i'll Boston. had a somewhat chill
ing effect on speculation. today. The
pendehcy OF tomorrOw'S Good Friday hol-
iday was cited as a motive for some cur
tallment OF operations. and today'S Jewish
monday OF the passover was also the oc-
caslon OF some absences of the stock eX-
change. The suspension of the trust com
rather than to any general conditions and
so were of little direct influence on the
market Interest grows in the foreign
exchange situation and the coming out
ward movement of gold. The exchange
rate today. was at the point where gold
shipments would show a margin of profit
but owing to lack Of shipping facilities no
gold is likely to go out until next week
when it Is expected several millions will
be shipped. With conditions in the eX-
change market az at present it is not
probable that when the Panama canal
payment is made the proceeds will re-
main in New York. The effect on the
money market will be watched with in
tereSt. The domestic movement of cur
rency appear to be still in favor of New
York in spite of the completion of the
remittances of government deposits. The
strong stocks in today's market were
amongst the Southern group and the soft
coalers. due to favorable reports of earn

DANIEL INGALLS, DEAD.
Death Of the Hermit of Little Spruce
island.

Machias. Me-, March 3l.-Daniel ingalls,,
one of the three Ingalls, brothers who
have lived for many years by themselves
on Little Spruce island in the town of
Rogue Bluffs. passed away, last week
William ingalls,. the eldest died just a
year ago this month The story of the
three brothers. their hermit life and their
peculiar ways have been much written
and talked about during the past few
years They have frequently been spoken
of as Mrs. Jack Gardner's hermits. owing
to the fact that the island which they
occupy is the property of the Gardeners of
Boston and also the fact that in way
the hermltS have been cared for by them
During the time when the brothers sail
ed coastinG vessel it was their custom
to haul up their vessel for the winter
months in the thoroughfare near the is
land where they afterwards took up their
abode. Twenty-Five winters were spent
on board their little craft hauled up at
that place. 1t was their home. and when
the shipping season was over they would
would remain until tie opening of spring
would again oblige them to get their yes
sci out for the seasons business. w hen
finally they retired from the coastlng
near which they had passed so many win
ters. and there building for themselves
rude hut they entered upon their hermit
life. Twenty-four years have, passed
since they settled there, and until year
ago the trio remained unbroken.
Several years ago one. Daniel became
dissatisfied with the rule of his elder
brother and went to a remote part of the
island. where he erected a hut for him
self and undertook to live apart from the
others. But a reconciliation was effected
later and he returned to the home which
he left. But no such separation ever took
place between William and his brother.
who was commonly known as Capt In
gals Until they We're separated, last
year, by death they had not been away
from each other more than a day at a
time for more than 80 years. Capt. In
gals is now left alone in his island home.
