lue TWO Drlck Dulldlngs cannot well
be be increased in size and besides the
trend of the growth of the city is not
so much to the north and east as it
is to the south and the west. So
inadequate is the South school that
very large number of scholars from
the Third and Fourth wards have to
walk from half mile to a mile to at
tend the Northside schools. The
South building is three.room frame
structure, entirely inadequate in size
and the plan is to replace it with an
eight.room brick building, that will
meet the growth of the city for several
years to come and which will be
mark of the progressiveness of Grants
Pass. There is movement on now
to annex to the Grants Pass district
large territory south OF Rogue river
and also all of the Dimmick district
to the west of the city. If that is
consummated, and il likely will be,
for that is the tendency OF the times
larger schools and better schools at
a less proportionate cost to the tax
payers, there will be such an increase
of scholars that an eight room build
ing would b. fully occupied within
the next two years.
The question of providing additional
Gnhnn1 10 -
Pass will be submitted to the tax
payers, when they meet at the annual
meeting in December to make the tax
levy for the ensuing year. Taxpayers
will also bear in mind that nnder
the new school law the annual meet
ing for levying school taxes has to be
held in December in order that the
levy may be certified to and the dis
trict clerks report filed with the
county clerk by the first day of the
following January.
A car load of cedar poles was re-
oeived Saturday for the Telephone
Company. Manager Oium will use
them to extend the various telephone
lines into the outlying sections of the
city. There are now on the Grants
Pass circuit 304 telephones. There
have been put in during the year 17S
telephones, which is a greater number
than has been added to the local sys-
TEN in any town in Oregon south of
Eugene. This large increase in the
telephone service for Grants Pass is a
good index of the city's growth and
of its prosperity.

Man BuncOed

Peter Blue, foreman for the Leon
ard Cattle Company of near White
water, who left here several days
ago for trip to Montana. was re-
lieved of a good-slzed roll of money
Monday night of last week at Butte.
The details are given in the follow
ing dispatch from Butte:
Butte, Mont, May 26.-Flim-
fiammed out of 5000 Monday night
in the office of the Pacific Express
Company on West Broadway by two
employees, Peter Blue. an aged ranch
er from Grand Junction, Colo, com
planned to the police, and as result
Harry Lafferty and Harry Kingsland
were today arrested in Denver on a
description forwarded by the Butte
officers.
The two men who turned the trick
on the innocent stranger are Way
Bill Clerk Lafferty and Express Dri-
yer Kingsland, and are well known
in the city. They left the city with
out warning Monday night or Tues
day morning.
Blue said he came to Butte looking
for long lost brother whom he had
not seen for thirty years, and not
caring to carry a large sum of mon
ey with him expressed $3.50 from
Grand Junction.
Blue said he was giving friend
the time of his life in Butte, and the
express clerks prevailed upon him
to leave his money with them, which
he did upon being warned that Butte
was infested with gold brick men of
all classes and that the camp fairly
abounded with crooks. When Blue
returned the following day. after
wearing OFF the effects of continued
spree. the clerks were missing with
the cash.
Blue is manager for the Leonard
Live Stock Company near Grand

Beaten, dispersed, pursued by
many Japanese vessels. the great
Russian fleet under Admiral Roiest-
vensky has lost forever the naval
supremacy of the orient which IL in
fancied security was loudly claiming.
The above dispatch means that the
Russians bold dash for Nladivostok
by way of the Korean straits and
across the Sea of Japan has most ig-
ANONYMOUSLY failed.
That Admiral Togo, the great Jap
anese naval strategist, after months
of waiting and disappearance, ap-
pears suddenly in the Tsuhima chan
mel to bar the way of the Russian
fleet, which all Russia thought was
safely on its sure way to Nladivostok,
shows by the result of this great ma
val engagement that the Russian's
valiant attempt to regain their lost
prestige on land is now dashed.
That the coast of Japan no longer
breads the marrying of the enemy
and that Admiral Togo holds the
straits is beyond any question of
doubt.
When the Russian admiral began
the fight he had eight battleships.
After a grave fight of 80 hours, his
baaied, crushed fleet turned i'm flight,
there were four of these monster
ships lying at the bottom of the kor-
can straits.
Of the cruisers. every vessel car
rying about 800 men, making total
of 5000 men, these losses are befit-
tingly reported.
Admiral Togo made his fight in

of Japan.

A PECULIAR WOUND.
Pieces by q Cannon Ball Which
Did Not Touch Him.

Speaking of what cannon balls were
capable of doing, while seemingly harm
less" says Dan r. Anderson, in the In
ter Ocean, brings to memory a strange
case of an Ohio soldier at the battle of
Missionary Ridge, November % or "a,
1868. He was brought to the general
field hospital, Army of the Cumberland,
and was put in tent near the commits
sary tent, so that could hear him groan
in his agony. His groaning was eXces.
sive and something altogether unusual
so much so that it caused me to go to
him. l met one of the contract surgeons
coming from the tent and asked him
what was the cause. He said: There's
nothing the matter at all He is playing
off and am going to send him to his reg
iment.' | went in to the sufferer, asking
him where he was wounded. He said all
he knew about it was that as he was
going up the ridge a shell from a rifle
cannon had passed in front of him. so
close that it took him off his feet. knock
ing the breath out of him, and that when
he came to his senses he experienced the
most unusual pain in his bowels, and
that there was no let-up to it.
There was no visible discoloration.
His pulse was normal and the only thing
to indicate anything wrong was in his
respiration, which was like that in a
case of lung fever. | called the doc
tors attention to his way of breathing,
and they all, except the major in charge,
said "Malingerer!' and one of them took
hold of him in no gentle manner and
tried to pull him off the cot, and said
mean things to him. | can see now the
agonized look the poor fellow gave the
doctor, pleading to be let alone that he
might die, protesting all the time that
he was mortally hurt, and he died while
yet the doctor was tugging at him, and
in the presence of more than dozen per-
sons, one of whom was Mother Bicker
dixie. Was Mother Biclserdike indig-
nant? Well, should say she was! And
there were others that were, and there
is one who hasn't got over it yet, and
who spoke his piece at the time. In
honor of Americans | will say that that
assistant contract surgeon was a Cana
dian, and, further that if he will call at

THE soldier was not long dead before
the doctors had him on the amputation
table holding a post-mortem. | was
allowed to be present and saw one of the
most unique cases on record brought TO
light. The man had sustained a com
plete disintegration of his small intes.
tines-torn ell to pieces-and yet there
was no swelling of the abdomen to in.
dicate any such condition. That Cana
dian got his walking papers that day.
The facts in this case can be found in
the official papers of the general field
hospital, Army of the Cumberland, on
file at Washington, and if this should
meet the eye of any of those present at
the time l would be pleased to hear
from them. The commissary sergeant
of that day is very much alive yet"

manded by Col Everett Peabody, of
the Twenty-tifth Missouri. who was
killed during the battle of the first day.
Three companies of the Twenty fifth
Missouri, under Maj. Powell, were sent
out at three O'Clock to reconnoiter, and
at 4:33 on Sunday morning they stru&
the confederate pickets and a sharp
fight ensued, which lasted until about
six o'clock, when Woods brigade drove
Powell back, when he was REINFORCED
by four companies of the Sixteenth
Wisconsin that had been on picket near
by, and by five companies of the Twen-
ty-first Missouri, under Col. David
Moore, who at once took command
and sent back to camp for the bal
ance of his regiment. Capt. SAKE,
of the Sixteenth Wisconsin. was
killed at the first fire. and Col.
Moore was soon after so severely
wounded in the leg that it was ampu-
tated. After his recovery he procured
wooden leg returned to the field and
fought with distinction to the end of
the war The loss of the Sixteenth
Wisconsin was among the heaviest of
the troops engaged. being 22S killed
and wounded. The Eighteenth Wis
consin, Col. j. S. Alban, killed during
the battle, was also in Prentiss di-
vision, in the Second brigade. COM
manded by Col. Madison Miller, of the
Eighteenth Missouri. 1t fought from
eight a. m. on Sunday until $3.50 p m.
Its last stand was with what was LETT
of Prentiss' division at the Hornets
Nest" When surrounded and out of
ammunition it was compelled to sur
render. The loss of the regiment as
reported was 103 killed and wounded.
In Prentiss' division was the Eigh-
teenth, Twenty-first, Twenty-third and
Twenty-fifth Missouri. The Eighteenth
Wau commanded by Lieut.. Col. |. ".
Pratt, the Twenty-first by Lieut.. Col.
H. M. Woodward, after Col. Moore was
wounded, the Twenty-third by Col. J.
Il. Tindall, who was wounded, then by
Lieut. Col. r. T. Van Horn. 1t will
thus be seen that the troops from Wis
consin were under the command of Of
fcers from Missouri. The men from
the two states fought side by side
through those terrible two days where
more than 10000 men were killed or
wounded.
