School Bonds Sold.

At meeting of the city council Of
Laurel, $4,000 worth of municipal

erecting brick school building, which
has been contracted to cost $25, 900.
The bonds were twenty-year 5 per
cent bonds, and were sold to a firm
in Cincinanti at a premium Of $940,
which speaks well for the city's cred-
il, and for this part Of the South as
field for investment Of Northern

Japanese and Russian Plenipotentia-

Representatives Of Japan and Rus
sia who have come to this country tol
enter into conferences looking to the
negotiations of treaty of peace were
formally introduced to each other by
President Roosevelt on board the
Maynower at Oyster Bay. When both
peace commissioners had been recelv-
ed and formally presented to each
other they were entertained at lun-
cheon on the Mayfower. AT luncheon
the president proposed the following
toast:
Gentlemen, propose toast to
which there will be answer and to
which I ask you in silence standing:

perity of the sovereigns and peoples
If the two great nations whose repre-
sentatives have met one another on

The harbor was filleee and on the
shore every available po.at of vantage

arrived at the pier, wher he had driven
from Sycamore Hill. Se was met at
the pier by Rear A ,iral Coghlan

a national salute was fred.
It was just a few minutes before
this That the warship, with the jap

rived and anchored astern Of the May

the national salute as the bugles and
drums on the Mayfower sounded and
the band played the Star Spangled
Banner.
After the president had been greet

the Mayfower, preparations were
made by the japanese commission to
ge aboard. Soon afterward the Jap

proceeded to the Mayhower. A salute
Of 10 guns was fred in honor Of the
Japanese. As the ENJOYS boarded the
Mayfower they were greeted by Com

they were presented to the president.
In the meantime the warship bearing
the Russian plenipotentiaries had ar

Railroads.

Denver, April 2O.-Vast improvement IN rail-
road construction is a feature Of the Rocky
Mountain States. Passes that were pronounced
fnsurmouutable a few years ago have been
scaled, seemingly impossible canyons have been
threaded, and mountains have been tunnelled to
cut down heavy grades. until the barrier Of the
Rockies has become no barrier at all
Only a generation ago engineers were pro-
nouncing Colorado hopeless from railroading
standpoint Yet to-day there are several rail-
roads making daily climbs OF the main range IN
Colorado. and a brand new road, built out OF
Denver toward Salt Lake, has climbed the bar
rier at a point where ten years ago cIVn en-
gineers said no roadbed could be successfully
made
This new railroad is the Denver Northwest

road, for the reason that It has been projected
and buflt by David II. Mofat, OF Denver. The
road crosses the main range at an altitude OF
i1GGO feet This terrific climb Is made only by
means OF the most tortuous WindIngs and nu-
unerous tunnels. At one point. called the Bow

WHY SUFFER /?
Long List of Sure Cures for
Meningitis.

Who says that there remedies for
cerebro-spinal meningitis? Health Commissioner
Darlington has received 200 different "sure
cures" each one better than any other and every
one guaranteed to put the patient his feet
of course providing that he is old enough to
walk-wthin as many hours as it usually takes
days The contributions to the current knOwl-
edge of the medical world have come in from
every part Of the country. Most writer's give
their advice and prescriptions freely. others
withhold some of the vital features Of their
treatment and offer to come to New-YOrk City
and demonstrate their ability to handle cases
of the disease, for a consideration.
Among the remedies proposed are some start
ling ones which Drs. Darlington, Biggs and
Guilfoy say they have never even heard Of
before. One Of the most peculiar of the letters
comes from an inmate of well known insane
asylum of the State where the writer freely
admits that he is at present recuperating. but
is nevertheless willing to sacrifice himself to
the extent of coming to this city and showing
the doctors how to care for meningitis pa
tients.
Several Of the letters advise that blood be
drawn from the patients. and old woman
suggests the application Of Ieeches to the base
Of the brain, two each side for adults and
one on each side for children Mustard plasters
and other plasters which are supposed to have
the power to draw out Inflammation are largely
advocated. Several doctors are among the
trbutors. One advocates the use Of iron pills
