that the state capitol should be
located at Boise for twenty
years, when it's permanent loca-

cided now, withoutany agitation
and with very general satisfac-
ton. What did it was the allow

of the Idaho exhibit at the
Worlds fair, to be held at Port

hibit at st. Louis, last year. Mr..
Mcbride had the endorsement of
every member of the state senate
for the position, without solici-

right man for the place. He was
Mr.. Hurtt's assistant at st.

the mineral exhibit from Idaho.
He is familiar with the work of
which he is in charge and has a
number of carloads of the st.

ground. Thirty thousand dollars
was appropriated by the legisla-

will be of more Importance in adj

Railroad Wreck in Shepherdstown.

Monday night about ii o'clock,
lust as a south. bound freight train on
the Norfolk & Western Railway had
crossed the bridge at Shepherdstown,
three OF the cars jumped the track.
The cause of the trouble is not known.
Possibly the cars buckled-they were
all unloaded and light, two OF them
fats and one box car-or 1t may be
that an axle broke. The train came
to a sudden halt and the three cars
were thrown crossways the track.
Nobody was hurt, and the train crew
soon got busy and called for assistance.
The section men were gotten out, and
the wrecking train OF the Western
Maryland Railroad was sent for from
Hagerstown. The tracks were cleared
about 8 a. m, and the passenger trains
got through. Later the N. & W,
wrecking train from Shenandoah came
down and finished the work. The
two fat cars were demolished, but
the box car can be repaired.

EDITOR REGISTER AT the primary
examinations, held at Harper'S Ferry
on May 18th and at Shepherdstown on
May 18th, 80 pupils took the eXamina-
ton. The pupils were required to make
a general average of So per cent and not
to fall below 20 per cent on any OF the
- branches. Five blocks Of questions,
each containing from three to five ques-
tions, were given on each branch.
Twenty-Five pupils made the required
percentages and received the free school
diploma. Eight pupils, | regret to say,
failed, their percentages running the
lowest on photography, arithmetic and
United States and State history. Teach.
ers will do well to note this and TO drill
more thoroughly on these branches IN
the future. Before closing, | wish TO
mention that only two or three pupils
seemed to be acquainted with Artaxer
xes, and | am afraid you have made
wrong impression when you intimate
that answers were passed down the line
The children, so far as could see, be,
haved well in this respect and shoulo
be accorded full honor.
