The testimony brought out at this
mornings session Of the bounty fraud
hearing brought out testimony from
Charles Jones that disclosed the en-
tire scheme OF the operations to bleed
the states treasury. Mr.. Jones fur
nished the missing links in the chain
of evidence that connects Davies and
Phillips with the entire fraud. 1t also
shows Phillips to have been merely a
go-between rather than a criminal
pure and simple.
Among other things brought out was
the fact that a meeting had taken place
Mt the New Southern hotel at which
Davies, Phillips, Gorhman and Jones
were present where the conspiracy
started involving the deputy clerk and
his cousin, Phillips, the "Kid' IN the
deal
1t was shown that many times cer-
tlncates had been issued where no
hides had been presented and where
the certificates had been given to the
conspirators In saloons hotels and on
street corners,
DAVIES GOT BIG SHARE.
In most OF these latter cases Davies
received a share varying from one-half
TO one-third Of the net amount Of the
certificate, according to the testimony
adduced at this hearing.

mony In the case that he should es-
cape prosecution. He stated that he
had a conversation with State Auditor
Tngey in December of 1903, but as to
It's details his memory was sadly de-
fective. Roberts was then excused for
the present.

London, Feb l6-The correspondent

interview with Gen. Stoessel chiefly
denying the charges made by the Pekin
correspondent Of the Times concerning
the surrender Of Port Arthur and its
defensive condition, Gen, Stoessel at
tributed the Japanese success I'm great
measure TO the superior quality Of
their drilling tools as compared with
those Of the Russians, which latter
quickly deterorated when used
against hard rock. The general en-
phatcally declared that all the pub
lie descriptions OF the second line OF
forts were purely imaginary These
forts, he said, were only temporary
defenses,
Gen. Stoessel further declared that
the strength OF the garrison never
amounted TO $4,000 men. At the end Of
April, before the Investment became
total the Russian forces on the
Kwantung peninsula were only 1858,
lie adhered to the original reasons
given for the surrender and through

TEACHERS MEETING.
Second Annual Meeting of tn e
Northern Education Assoc
citation at AndOver.

At Andover April 9th and z, was
one of<the best educational rallies of the
year for the teachers of the northern
part of the state. The enrolment was
ninety-seven, while the attendance was
in the peighborhood of one hundred
thirty-fve.
Only a few of those on the program
failed to appear, while those who We're
present more than made up for this by
the readiness with which they entered
into the discussions. The spirit of the
meeting from the first paper to the close
of the address of DIR. Sell, was all that
could be desired; it was alike an inspir-
alton to the college man, the teacher in
the high school, and the country
teacher.
The evening of the 9Th was especially
enjoyable. The vocalist, Miss Grace
Bryant, being encored, while Senator
E. G. Toy, with his school boy feelings
and mastery senatorial equipoise, in
behalf of the citizens of Andover, babe
the assembled guests hearty welcome
The response by Prof. $. @. Hartranft,
of Aberdeen, was equally felicitous
The sentiments uttered will go long
way toward producing that hearty pub
/ lie sentiment so necessary for the sue
cessful prosecution of school work in

regretted that the remarks in full can
not be reproduced for the benefit OF
those who could not hear them, Many
communities have fine school houses,
bright aud intelligent children but are
sadly lacking in public spirit Such
speeches as that made by Prof Hart
ranft are of great value to any com.
munity.
Miss HerpePs reading was highly
enjoyed and called forth many compli
ments from those familiar with readers
of wide repute
Dr. Chalmers, of Brookings, gave .
thirty minute address on Joy in You
Work" This was full of good common
sense which could be understood anC
appreciated by everyone present.
The last day of the meeting was jus
as full of good things as the first hac
been The discussions were full of lif,
and to the point
The business session resulted in th'
selection of Ipswich as the next place o
meeting Prof J. M. Hunter, o
Groton, was chosen for president; Mis-
Janette Lewis, of Ipswich, secretary
! j. f. Johnson, of Bowdle, treasurer
} The address of DR.. Sell was full o
helpful suggestions both for the ladie
and the gentlemen, for the house
keeper, and the hat trimmer, for tn
artist and the architect
Those who attended this meeting vii
be worth much more to the commun
titles which they serve. 1t is to b
