Lettie turned her back on her mother and gave
her attention to milking the COWS. Her heart
heavy and the tears lay the surface. She

She had known Ben Hanson ever since she was

luscious wild Strawberries and put them into her

her the first unc apple; it Ben who lifted her

Old Hanson drew rein in the shade of

flowers, dark green jungle through which wild
rabbits scutled and the brown mother birds hurried

grandfather. Since that time the
vendetta had gone down with each

as every few years another grave

EVENING SCHOOLS
Teachers Who Will Look Afler
 Pupils For Winter Season.

The board of education at its meet-
 ing held last evening took the first
 step toward building a school house
 to take the place of the present Lin-
 coin school on Sperry street. In a
 long communication to the board Superintendent of Schools Tinker
 stated that when the proposed rail- road improvements in the west end are completed there will be trains running by the Lincoln school every five minutes in the day. He ascer- l tained this from the railroad officials and he judged that the school would be most undesirable for school pur- poses. With the clamor of passing trains and the dirt coming from them in smoke and cinders he considered 1t would be- advisable for the board to look up another school site before the present lots are all secured.s The present building is in a growing dis trict and cannot well be enlarged, he said, in his communication, and the lot is too small for present needs and additional land cannot be secured AS soon as the new railroad tracks are ready fifteen passenger and twelve freight trains will pass over them every day. not to mention specials and mixed trains. After some con- sideration of the matter it was left to the committee on school houses and hygiene, that body to report at the next meeting of the board.
 The southern boundary of. the Dug- gan school will hereafter be the new railroad tracks, but not including Porter street.
 The following were appointed teachers in the evening schools.

Sun and Moon.

1t is gratifying to learn that the Sun
and Moon officials have approved the
plan for opening up the property lying
between the Newhouse tunnel drift and
the upper workings so that the raise can
be put through. The entire matter has
been in the hands of R. C. Bonney,
manager of the company, and finds ap-
proval of the officers so that the new
work will become an accomplished fact.
Just as soon as the agreements made by
Mr.. Bonney in behalf of his company
can be approved at special meeting of
the stockholders in thirty days work
will begin. The money was raised be-
fore the unsettled condition of the mon
ey market in the east so that the pres

A Mexican Boiler cleanen

Consul General P. c. Hanna, of
Monterey, gives the following as an in.
stance of a successful invention: A
fluid invented by the Monterey man
and manufactured in this city, de-
signed for the purpose of cleaning
steam boilers Of scale or preventing
the formations thereof, is meeting with
great success. 1t is said to effectually
remove scale from boiler tubes and
that it works no injury to the tubes
nor the boiler shell. The compound
has been introduced into various coun-
tries in America and Europe. 1t is
manufactured wholly from vegetable
substances from plants found in Mexi-
co and is developing into a large local
industry. 1t is known as "Anti-Se-

Older specimens are a portion OF a

The Evergreen property, in the Pine
Creek district, is not working at pres
ent but the water is being hoisted to
keep the shaft clear for working pur-
poses. This property seems to be some
what in litigation and it is too bad that
some understanding cannot be arrived
at. The Evergreen is producer of rich
ore and it is hardly necessary to state
that this property will come to the front

The Masterpiece Of MIrlh, The Bad Boy |
Story and on The Stage.

When George w. Peck was applied to
for the sole permission to dramatize his
phenomenally successful "Peck's Bad
Boy written short time prior to his
election as Governor of Wisconsin-he
consented to entertain the proposal pro-
vided the book was satisfactorily dra-
matized and the play, under the title
name. staged in first class style and in a
manner that would receive the approval
of good people and the press. Twenty
years of continuous and enormously
popular production are behind the farce
comedy of "Peck's Bad Boy" which
comes to the opera house Friday even
ing, November Sth, to prove not only
the governors entire satisfaction with
the theatrical result, but the spotless
delight that countless thousands have
found therein as well. The play not
only differs essentially from the Buster
Brown and other inferior limitations
thereof, none of which are original and,
therefore, must be relegated to the sec
ond class, but the current version has
been rewritten, in urder to admit of the
introduction of additional mischief, mis-
haps and incidents from the governors
inimitable story and of stronger cast
and many exceedingly novel and attrac'
tive features. 1t is now about as per
feet as combined genius, versatile tai
ent, long practical experience ane
abundant outlay can make it.
