dropped in upon us wholly unexpected
Wednesday noon. The afternoon he
devoted TO a close inspection OF class
work. equipment, etc. On the whole
he expressed himself as well satisfied
with conditions, asserting, among other
things. that our school, in points OF
quality instruction and general equip
ment. rank well mp with the better
high schools of the state. He suggested
the necessity of another instructor in
the high school department "a specialist
in English. In truth. such teacher
should be added to the corps, and her
work in English should include the
eighth grade English, thereby reliev-
ing the overworked eighth grade teach
or and materially strengthening the
whole English course.
The school concert last Friday after
noon and evening was thorough sue
cess in every way. Both entertain
ments were well patronized and the
spirit Of the audiences showed hearty
appreciation. The Indian drill was
a happy hit. Indeed the whole enter
tainment showed careful preparation
and reflected much credit upon Miss
Mcdonald and her co-laborers, as well
ne upon the pupils participating Ex-.
pressions of commentator were heard
from all sides for the special excellence
of the work OF Bessie Sensiba, Adelaide
Abbott and Master Geo. Wilson. The
financial receipts, devoted TO the art
fund, were all that could be expected.

Bright, clear days followed the

it proved disastrous to much If no

EYE GLANCE STARTS RUN
Bank In New Jersey Has Disastrous
Time as Result of Careless
Wink.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-A wing that
was not caught. started the run on
the Mechanics Trust company, of Bay
onne, N. j., which lasted three days.
The winker, detectives learned last
night, was Henry Verm, who the day
ing with James Shannon and John De-
vanny, Of No. 81 Hobart avenue, Bay
onne John Nevins, of No. IA Siffon
street, joined the group
Sure, the bank is busted said De-
vanny. Glad l haven't any money
there."
Shannon did have money there and
he couldn't see the joke. His face fell
and Verm says he winked at Nevins,
who also looked serious, meaning by
the wink to say it was all joke on
Shannon. Nevins did not catch the
quick closing of Verm's eyelids, and
soon he was busy repeating the story
he had heard, that the bank was in
solvent. 1t travelled like wildfire and
in half an hour Constable Hook as
wei as Bayonne was af1ame with it.
When the rumor was running through
the Hook, Thomas Bull, thinking to
discredit it, called up John Muller, q
Bayonne saloon-keeper. asking him if
it were true. Muller had not heard, and
he called up other saloons. In this
way the alarm spread.
Those Immediately concerned in
starting the rumor, which caused so
many poor depositors to lose their in
terest, will be arraigned this morning
before Recorder Lazarus. A charge of
malicious mischief will be made
against them.

Commemorate UnbeIief.

RAVENNA, o., Feb. 25.-Out in the
North Benton cemetery is a mOnu-
ment just erected by Chester Bedell
to commemorate his infidelity. Bedel
Is a famous infidel. He claims to be
more of an unbeliever than Bob In
gersoll ever thought of being, and of
antedating Bob's infidelism many
years.
Bedell has made four trips to the
Holy Land for data to disprove the
Bible. He is now 80 years old, and
well preserved. The monument he has
just erected shows him in the act of
treading the Bible under foot. On it
he has inscribed that he is the great
and only infidel.
Bedell is one of the largest land
owners in the Mahoning valley. He
has $500 acres of the richest farm
lands, worth many thousands of dol
lars. He was born poor. His father
died when he was very young, leaving
a debt of $500: This he paid to his
fathers creditors before he was Is
years old.

WOMAN WINS FORTUNE QUEER.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Feb. 25.-By
being able to produce in the state cir.
cult court for Pennington county q
| ring made of Black Hills gold, and
| bearing her name and the date. to.
gether with the words, From her ia
t.ler," Mrs Flora Belle Hollis, of Els
worth, Me-. has been able to win a
fortune amounting to $4,000.
The fortune won by the Maine wo-
man is a part of the estate Of Jerry
eer, who died in western South Da-
kota last June. Kings entire estate
amounted to more than $4,000. The
attorneys for Mrs. Hollis were Messrs.
Hale & Hamlin of Maine, the senior
member Of the firm being United
States Senator Hale, and his partner
being son of former ice President
Hamln.
The story in connection with the set
Element of the affairs of the estate of
Jerry King is an interesting one, and
is not without it's romantic features
King located in the Black Hills in
1880, when DeadwOOd and the other
mining camps were among the tough
est in the world. Although he spent
several fortunes. King was able to
accumulate the estate, the greater part
of which has just been awarded to the
Maine woman, who convinced the
court that she was daughter of
King.
The jury, however. returned a Ver-
dict in favor of Miss Ray, awarding
her the sum of $11, 900 and interest as
her share of the estate. This verdict,
taking into account the interest on
the amount awarded Miss Ray. nearly
covers the amount Of the $4,000 in
certificates of deposit Unless the case
is appealed, the bank will be required
by an order of the court to pay her
the amoutn of the certificates.
Mrs Flora Belle Hollis, whose iden-
tity was questioned by the admins
traitor. was able to prove beyond a rea-
sonable doubt that she was in fact a
daughter of King. The ring offered
by her in evidence was given to her
by her father while on his last visit
to the old home in the east coast state.
Mrs Hollis also brought with her
from Maine a number of witnesses TO
further establish her claim and iden-
tity as the daughter of Jerry King.
Her feature of the case was tried be-
fore the court. which rendered de.
cision in favor of Mrs. Hollis and
awarded her as the daughter of Jerry
King the remainder of his estate,
which consists of bank deposits and
real estate. to the value Of more than
$4,000.
it is believed this finding of the
court is the final disposition of the
gold of Jerry King

Muncy's store, in the center of the city
and adjoining hotel property was saved
from destruction by fire this morning

the receiver was off the telephone and
that she could hear burglars in the
store. The cat had knocked the tele.
phone of the safe, and it struck againt

the steam pipes led Central to be.
lieve that burglars were in the store.
The police were unable to find that
the place had been entered, but when
called second time by Central they
were more diligent, and effecting an
entrance, found the place filled with
dense clouds of smoke. An alarm of
