1.-The conduct of the students was re-
ported by the PRINCIPAL to the director
of high schools. who Immediately pro-
ceeded to investigate the matter. in
the meanwhile. the teachers OF the
school had endeavored to bring the boys
to a realization of the impropritty OF
their conduct, and on Wednesday morn
ing some OF the better disposed boys,
having endeavored to smooth matters
over, went among their companions and
urged that some steps be taken to make
an apology to the principal
''This action was communicates TO the
principal of the school. and later IN
the day the boys who had participated
in the demonstration assembled in the
study hall and an apology was made &c
the principal for the disorder that had
taken place. While the apology was re-
ceived by the principal of the school, it
was with the distinct understanding,
and so stated, that il was not III any
way to interfere with the investigation
that had been instituted.

Comment on Facts.

I'VE, your committee, believe that
many of the students were sincere in
their expressions of regret, as we also
believe that the disorderly actions of
the pupils were brought about by the
leadership of comparatively few
THE statement of occurrences. as de-
tailed above has been fully corrobor-
ated by the principal and by the teach
ers, and, indeed, has been admitted by
number of the participants. In con-
nection with this affair. as 1t has been
presented to us, we find nothing in the
course pursued by the principal to give
the slightest excuse for the conduct OF
the pupils.
Your committee do not consider that
they are to do more than report upon
the incidents TO which they have re-
| fcrred. There are no charges preferred
against the principal of the school Of
which we can take cogniZance, newspa-
per reports not being considered by the
| committee. In submitting this finding,
your committee desire to express their
strongest condemnation OF the conduct
| OF those. who participated IN the demon
STATIONS referred to.

to and we think that the board should

New County Officers Tn.

With the opening of the. New Year
there were several changes made in
the official roster at the court house
when the newly -elected county officials
took charge. Guy Ewing was the
only new official who took his Office
on Monday as he did not have to give
any bonds and he stepped right into
the harness and began to familiarize
himself with his work. The rest Of
the new county officials were OBLIGED
to wait until the board of county com
m1ssloners met and approved their
bonds. This was done Tuesday and
Robert II. King assumed his duties
as clerk of court, Harry Shockley as
sheriff and Charles W. Burnhelm as
register of deeds, and DR.. Bacon as
coroner. Mr.. Burnhelm has an

sheriff so far is William Trumble of

and got out of the hotel, with Just
enough to cover him, not being able
to secure his head gear. He lost all
his clothing, and valuable and
precious keepsakes.
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Stephan, Or.
McRae, and the school teachers. the
Misses Quinn and Tidd, were awav
and lost what property they left in
their rooms. s
Mr.. and Mrs. w. P. Chasesoccupied
corner rooms on the second floor over
the balcony. Mrs. Chase was away
but Mr.. Chase succeeded in SAVING
most of their personal effects.
Miss zilla Davis, one of the teach
ers who had been boarding at the
hotel, had left the hotel few days
prior to the fire and had a room al
Mrs. Eva Keith's. It was fortunate
the teachers were absent as thew had
rooms on the third floor. and had
they been in the hotel at the time. thew
might have had trouble in getting out.
There were only few travelling men
IN the hotel and they managed to es-
cape with their clothes and baggage.
All the help escaped, most of them
saving their clothes.
Morneau. Bros. place their loss al
about 1900, including house and
contents. They had SIS, 900 insurance
on the building and $4,000 on con.

building and 81 800 on furniture. J.

1000 on building, while c. A. Dickev

tiers complete their work.

stampede the guests. Frank aroused
his wife, and they quickly dressed,
seized their little child and few
clothes and quickly made their escape.
In the meantime Peter lighted lamp,

No sooner had the people made
their escape than the fire broke out
with great fury. Fleeing guests
CROPPED through the mass of smoke, to
safety, while the flames roared behind
them, portions of the roof falling into
several bedrooms just after the occu-
pants fed.
The ire alarm was sounded shortly
after three o'clock, a delay being oc-
acasiOned because the steam had run
down at the power house, and the first
alarm was faint, but the department
was early on the scene and a LARGE
crowd soon gathered. Fortunately
there was no wind to carry the flames

Out and In of the Years.

The old year passed into oblivion,
with the customary social holiday
events, but there was nothing to in
dlcate much change in the even tenor
of events.
At the Methodist church there was
a Watch-night service by Rev. Swim
merton, beginning at II p. m. and con
oinulng until the hour when the bells
sounded the passing of the old and
the arrival Of the new year. $3.50
As. New Years day came on Sun

gay OF 1908, but on Monday there
was cessation Of business, the banks
and all stores being closed, as we'll as

= stamped tickets for 'sdown'' and
up passengers, but no express was
received, nor was any freight handled.
There was quite a heavy travel and

mass of debris on the site of the ia
nous old hostelry.
No one can tell just where the fire
started, but probably under the range
in the kitchen, where a fire originated
last summer during the day time. The
woodwork must have ignited at this
point about midnight, and with the
building tightly enclosed, made little
progress for some time. It burned
slowly. the flames gradually feeding
on the dry woodwork until they
reached the roof, but it is a mystery,
how those in the hotel were not awak-
ened by the smoke, or cracking noise.
Frank MOrneau was up and secured
glass of water for his wife Just a
half hour before his brother, Peter
dlscoveed the fire Frank did not de.
tect any indications of fire.
There were many very narrow es.
capes. Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Keith
who had rooms on the second floor OF
the south annex, grabbed a few
clothes and made their way through
the main hall to the ladies' stairway.
They lost all their property in the
room. amounting to about $500. .
Mr.: and Mrs. W. B. Ingalls, occn-
pied a room in the old part of the
hotel. AS soon as awakened thew
hurriedly dressed, and the smoke was
so thick in the hallway that Mr.. In
gals tied a wet towel over his wife,s
mouth. They lost SIT in cash and p.
few clothes. Miss Emma Logan.
local uperintendent of the Mamie
Leaf Telephone Co. said that when.
awakened the smoke was rushing into
the room through the transom and il
was with great difficulty that she es-
capped. She had left her own and the
company's money in tin box in
the Office of the telephone exchange on
the first floor of the hotel building

and the box as we'll as the switch
board was saved.
G. O. Dahl. stenographer and clerk
for M. S. Rutherford & Co. had a.
room on the third floor of the south
annex and it was with great danger to
his life that Peter Morneau, made a
second attempt to arouse him. Dahl
did not heed the first alarm, and when
Pete discovered that he was not up.
Pete went to the room and saw that
Dahl was safely out. In making his
escape Dahl was cut about the head
and neck by glass.

Devouring flames completely de-
stroyed the Commercial hotel in a
very short time early Tuesday morn
ing. The ominious cracking of the
material the flames were at work on and
the sitting, suffocating smoke was dis
covered by Peter Morneau about 2:3O
O'Clock. 1t was his usual hour to
look after the furnace and the heat
ing plant, and he had not gone far
from his room on the second floor of
the main part of the hotel before he
discovered that the hotel was all afire.
He quickly ran to his brother Franks
room On the same floor and told him
the awful story. All was done quietly

the flames, and they, too, were burned
slick and clean in less than an hour.
The two streams of water played on
the fire simply dampened the unburned
portions of the building, and were
really of no use. The water came in
very handy in wetting down the barns
and the power house across the street
from the doomed hotel. Had a wind
been blowing from the west or north
west, nothing could have saved the
barns or power house.
By five O'Clock all that was left of
the big hotel were the warped and
blackened walls, and twisted piping,

PREPARING FoR COAL STRIKE
War Between United Mine Workers
and Anthracite Operators.

War Between United Mine Workers
and Anthracite Operators.
P%ittsburg. Pa, July 31.-That war
will be declared between the United
Mine Workers of America and the
anthracite coal operators at the expi-
ration on April list next, of the present
three-year working agreement, is
feared by the former and at least an
ticipated by the operators. John Nit
chelrs speeches in his pro-union cam
paign in the coal regions daily grow
more fervid and pointed, and are ha-
wing at least one desired result
that Of winning back to the mine wor-
kers' organization the hundreds who
dropped out after the declaration of
three years peace. His more recent
addresses have taken the form of
fiat warnings to the toilers that their
welfare after April 1st may depend
upon their preparation at this time.
1t has been general knowledge for
at least two months past that the op-
orators have been storing immense
quantities of coal. This fact is the
keynote Of President Mitchelrs ad-
dresses. He and other leaders see
in his accumulating of large quaint
ties Of coal preparations for a long
siege. If a struggle be precipated at
the next conference, in March, be
tween the miners and the operators.
The fact that the operators are
storing such immense quantities OF
the smaller sizes of anthracite is held
by President Mitchell to Indicate
their realization that a sympathy
strike on the part of the bituminous
men would prevent another soft-coal
! relief such as was afforded in 1902,
when no PREPARATION had been made
against the invasion of the hard coal
market by the bituminous operators,
