The Debators.

A debate was held at the Spear
fish Normal last Saturday. between
the Normal and School of Mines over
the question:: Resolved, That the
Municipalities of the United States
Should Own and Operate Their In
dividual Street Car Lines" While
the judges gave the decision to the
Normal. it was only won on the
small margin of one third of one per
cent.
The speakers for Spearfish were
Messrs. L. r. Parkins, H. L. Riggs
and H. G. Pryor, with r. r. Carey
as alternate. The School of Mines
was represented by Walter Rose,
John Hogarth and H. L. Long, with
Ole Nelson as alternate. The Spear
fish deqators were for the affirmative
and the Schoo! of Mines the negative
side OF the question.
The judges were W. E. Benedict,
of Belle Fourche, W. S. Elder, of
Deadwood and G.. H. Grace, of Lead.
Referring to the event the Lead
Tribune, whose editor was present,
|says:
"The arguments on both sides
were excellent and showed that
both teams had given the subject a
great deal Of time and study, and it
was indeed surprising that the
young men should have gone so
deeply into the subject. The ap-
pearance Of the young men on the
platform, their gestures and ease
were such as to excite the admi-
ration of ALL"

The Common Soldier.

A decrease in the number of the
right sort Of applicants for the ranks
of the regular army and an increase
in the assertions make problem for
army men and statesmen to worry
over. Numerous plans have been dis
cussed for making the lot of the com.
mon soldier more attractive, and Colo.
mel Larned Of the West Point faculty
Is out with proposition to double the
pay Of the enlisted men and turn the
army into great school. He would
also have the ex-regular guaranteed a
commission in the volunteer service in
case Of war.
To the idea of a general army school
the minds Of many thinking men have
inclined for u generation. The late
General A. v. Kautz urged it nearly
twenty years ago. In time of peace
there is little to kill the monotony OF
the camp, and good men go to the dogs
from having no incentive to action, as
they do in civil life. The wisdom of
doubling the present pay Is open to
question. 1t would make the stimulus
commercial one, and its power would
vary with the times. The feature OF
instruction would be practicable one
and original for this country. The
press Of France is advocating similar
reform In the French army.

keystone Recorder. -Insomuch as
the Downie- Wright Co., has been SO
widely advertised by the Deadwood
boycott, and as it adds y considerable
amount to the taxable property Of
this country the Recorder believes
that a description OF the plant
would be of interest to keystone
readers. At Rapid Saturday Mr..
Downie, secretary OF the company,
was interviewed for this paper and
gave the fullest information regard
ing its plans.
The site Of the works is near to
and includes the old Gate City Roll
Ter Mill. There is magnificent
water power, from Rapid creek
sufficient not only for present use
but for considerable future growth.
Lying near and on the same level as
the railroad yards, track connection
can easily be secured. There are
four main buildings to be erected; a
foundry 70 100 feet, machine shop
GO 100 feet, machinery ware room
40 x,60 feet, building containing an
Office. two stories high, 80 x 80 feet.
and a store room for small work.
80 x 80 30 feet,
.
Besides these buildings there are
sheds for shafting, sheet metal, and
coke, and fire proof pattern storage
building "a x 20 feet. A standard
guage track runs between the main
buildings and narrow gauge track
runs through each so that mate rial
and machinery can be readily trans
ferred from one part of the plant to
another.
The main buildings are of the
modern glass wall construction, the
only portions not glass being the
floor. roof and the timbers which
support the roof. This glass is a
comparatively recent invention and
is known as unbreakable glass. It
is made with a wire netting, about
the same thiag as chicken wire,
in the center of the glass, which is
perhaps quarter of an inch thick.
This kind of constructon is OF course
ideal for manufacturingplant as it
gives ample light to every part Of
the works.
Both foundry and machine shop
are fitted with travelling cranes of

METHODIST ACADEMY FOR LEW.
iSTON.

Lewiston has been offered a propo-
sition by the Columbia River confer
ence of the Methodist church for the
establishment of a Methodist academy
IN this city. The proposition calls for
an expenditure of 100000 on the part
Of the conference embracing the whole
territory between the Nevada line and
British Columbia, the Rocky noun
tins and the Cascade mountains
Two well known local men have
made generous offers of lands Louis
Delsol and William Goldthwaite. and
Il Is stated that the commission ap-
pointed by the conference looks with
favor on Lewiston for the location Of
the academy.
With the railroads now building
into this city, Lewiston will be one
Of the most centrally located towns in
the whole territory. and IL climate is
an inducement, no locality in the
northwest can offer such inducements.
The winters here are mild and delight
full, the equal Of California as a re-
sort. The climate is healthful and
natural surroundings conducive to a
study of the aesthetic.
Spokane is figuring on securing the
Methodist academy. But with every
thing In our favor why shouldn't the
institution come to Lewiston? We
believe Lewiston people will begin
right now and work increasingly until
this institution of learning is located
here.
1t can't be secured without work
and hard work at that. Let's all help
It along.

ROYAL CHEF IS
CLEVER COMEDY
Principals and Chorus Work
Hard and Please Large
Audience.

A dish fit for the gods and the most
exacting epicureans was served by
The Royal Chef and his whirlwind
broilers last night. and the appetite
Of the guests, who taxed the capacity
Of the Temple theater, was most de-
lightfully appeased. The evening was
nothing short Of a banquet and the
delicious courses of the two-hour-
and a-half menu came in rapid sue
cession and were relished with the
greatest of enthusiasm and enjoy
ment.
There is nothing flimsy to the mu-
steal comedy. The songs are catchy,
clever, the chorus girls are winsome
and can dance and sing, the costumes
are new and pleasing to the eye and
the stage settings are of the highest
order. In brief, The Royal Chef is a
high-cless attraction and deserves all
the praise that can be given it and
the support to which a good show Is

Harry Harmsen plays the role Of
Heinrich Lemphauser. German from
Chicago, who Is made the Royal Chef

rival there. The comedy hinges on
the work Of The Royal Chef in the
Rajah's household. One admirable
feature of the show is the grace and
vividness with which the members Of
the chorus enter into their work. Es-
pecially noticeable was this in the
"Old Mother Goose" number, when the
audience demanded six encores. On
this occasion, the girls engaged in
some clever gymnastics.
The musical features of the per-

Death Of A. H. Danforth

The following obituary notice of a
former well-known resident of this
place is taken from the Hamburg,
(lowa) Republican and will interest
many of our older readers:-
A. ii. Danforth was born in Danville, VT,
Sept. 20, 1927 and died at his home in Ham
burg Saturday, Dec. g. 1905, aged rs years,
two months and fourteen DAYS. He was
married in Morrisyille, Vt, Sept. o. 1851, to
Lucia Clement, daughter of the late VIM. Glenn

and Mrs. Alfred Dodge of this place, and to
this union four children were born, Mrs Eva

South Omaha, G. A. and Charles. OF this city,
all OF whom are still living. He moved with
his family to Hamburg, Nov. 30, 1873, and
engaged IN the grocery business, which he
followed for good many years. He has
also been engaged in the feed business and the
buying and shipping of hides and furs. de
served one term as mayor of this city and
several years as councilman. He was very
active even up to the day OF his death, he
having been around at his usual work Satnr-
day and attended to his evening chores and
then went into the house and laid down on
the sofa and was telling his wife of his days
work. He had complained some that day OF
not feeling very WELL but nothing of q serious
nature. His wife went to the door to answer
the call of the gill who delivered them milk
and when she returned he gave one gasp and
was dead, thus ending long life of usefulness
and activity and leaving to his family and
friends that priceless heritage of a spotless
life. In business and private life he was al
ways upright, honest and fair, leaving moth
ing to cast blot upon his fair name and
setting noble example of life that is worthy
OF emulation. The Masonic lodge of which
he was a member, had charge of the funeral
which was held from the residence Tuesday
morning at 1890 o'clock, being assisted by
Chas. A. Highfeld, Of the Presbyterian
church.
