Upon We plyant Oar.

A fire in a stubblefeld on the O. N.
Macarthur farm near Derry, last
Thursday, destroyed considerable
fencing and caused much excitement
among the people Of that neighhor-
hood. Luckily the flames were
extinguished before any unthreshed
grain or farm buildings were injured.
The fire is believed to have been
started by a spark from a passing
train.

pany, on the first of ten charges Of

OF Monday in the bribery and graft
ceedings
The sentence of Schmitz was one of
the most dramatic scenes ever wit

into the air, arms were waved and
there was such an unrestrained clat-
ter OF applause that the bailiff pound
ing for order, could not be heard.
In Judge LAWYERS court six Of the
twelve jurors to try Vice President
Glass were finally selected and sworn
after the prosecution had used two
peremptory challenges and the de-
Tense four. To the former three arbi-
trary challenges remain and to the
latter six. There was a complet alb
sence OF the spirit of pickering that
distinguished the Ruef and Schmits

In all eighteen veniremen were ex-
amined during the day. Twelve OF
these qualified as to causes.

SCHOOL BONDS OFFERED.
Many from West of River to BE Sold

Thirty years ago sharpers put
building on wheels and run 1t over the
unorganized counties In the southern
part of the state holding school cleo
tons" and issuing bonds for school
buildings in the townships in which
they claimed to be located. These
bonds were floated on the eastern
market, and when the holders came
to realize upon them they found that
there were never any such townships
and nothing on which TO collect. Sew
eral years later when the country In
the Missouri valley was settled and
genuine school bonds issued for the
erection of school buildings the set
tiers found II hard at times to secure
a market for their bonds. Such Sc
curities were looked upon with sus-
picion, but proved to be gilt edge Sc
curities to the holders. Now the cOun-
try west of the river is beginning TO
call for assistance In putting up school
buildings and bonds are being offered.
These bonds will make the best invest
ments for those who have small sums
Of money which they desire to invest,
as the bonds run generally from $500
to $1,000. In that class the Renne-
bee independent school district, of Ly-
man county, is now advertising for the
placing Of 1000 Of school bonds.

The movement of gold has been In
progress since early May, will be con-
tinued by the engagement Of $1,000

portation of gold is attributed by ex-
change experts to the attempt OF the

reserve, which has been lessened by
the withdrawal Of Russian deposits
from France. Since April France has
taken about s22, 100000 from Ameri-

that the movement OF gold to France
