School Officers Reelected.

At the meeting Of the school
clerks last Monday morning the
present set of officers were re-
elected for the ensuing year.
They are: President, A. l..
Burgan, Vice-President, A. B.
Carter, Secretary, DR.. P. j..
Noer.
Among the business that came
up for consideration were two
petitions for sub-districts. One
with fifteen signers asking for a
sub-district out at the Rummel
and Symes schools and the other
containing forty signers for q
sub district at Soperton. The
first petition came up before the
board at the semi-annual meet
ing last March but was laid over
by the board until the annual
meeting. The board decided not
to grant either petition and as
sub districts can only be created
at one of the two regular meet
ings the matter will now have to
rest at least until the semi annu-
al meeting in March.
The board considered a num-
Der of applications for schools.
The following two teachers of
the village school were retained
for the ensuing year:
Miss Mcdonald, 3rd grade.
Miss Gerringer, 2nd grade.
Miss Tillie Weberg was engaged
fof tsss 1st grade aud Miss Jose
phine Benson was engaged for
assistant principal of the high
school. Miss Weberg and Miss
Benson, the two new teachers,
are from the Superior normal
They have had several years ex-
perience and are highly recon
mended. Miss Merle Chinook
of Wa5eno was hired TO teach at
Padus the coming year.

RECENTLY PLACED ON CARS AT

BE MOUNTED FOR DECORATIVE
PURPOSES.

The two large guns which were re-
Gently shipped to Jacksonville from
Fort Barrancas, and which are to be
used for decorative purposes on the
grounds surrounding the city hall at
JachsUnvillefi have duly arrived at
their destination, as shown by the fol
lowing account in a recent issue OF
the Metropolis:
Two formidable cannon, mounted
on gun carriages, are on the S. A. L.
tracks in this rity, having arrived last
evening
These are the two 32-pounder
Dalghren guns received from Fort Bar
rancas, near Pensacola, from the war
department, by Mayor Sebring, OF
this city, and are to be placed as orna-
ments in the grounds surrounding the
city hall.
"A few weeks ago Mayor Sebring,
who, by the way, was gallant old
Confederate soldier, conceived the
idea OF getting two cannon from the
war department for ornamental pur-
poses solely, and wrote to Washington
asking for the guns. The war off,
Gals informed the mayor that while
they could not give Jacksonville the
guns. they could be loaned for an in
definite period to the city if Mayor
Sebring would attend to the transport
alton of the guns from Fort Barran-
cas-. Fla. to Jacksonville.
Mayor SebTing then wrote to the
general managers of the L. & N and
S. A. L. railroads, and also the Stone
& Webster street car manager at Pen
sacola, asking them if they would
transport the guns over their respect
i've lines to Jacksonville free of cost,
and promptly received word that the
lines would gladly do so, and this
gracious act is appreciated by our peo-
pie.
1T was then found that the cost of
handling the guns from Fort Barran-
cas- to the railroad lines would be
about SIS, and Mayor Sebring asked
the Metropolis to help him raise that
amount. and this paper then asked for
small contributions from Jacksonville,
which were promptly furnished by pub
lic-spirited citizens.
Mayor Sebring SAYS the two guns,
will be taken from the union depot
tomorrow and placed in position near
the city hall. They will show off that
handsome lawn to advantage"

LIQUID VIRUS
KILLING RATS
Louisiana Board of Health
Waging War on the
Rodents.

So far the liquid virus seems TO be
the deadliest of the three prepare
tons being tried on the rats in the
board of health baStile. Two more
were reported dead yesterday in the
cage where this virus is being tested.
Experiment three, which is being
made by a local firm with still an
other virus, seems likely to prove
successful, as the rodents in cage
three are apparently very near the
end of their career
Another batch o. rats will today be
fed certain quantities of the powdered
virus which was used in the first ex-
pertinent of the board of health, and
which apparently proved a failure.
The cause of this apparent failure Is
sought to be explained by representa-
tives of the manufacturers o. the
virus in several ways. First, they as
sert the virus administered by the
board of health officials was exposed
too much The poison is intended to
be distributed at night, as fight and
heat quickly lessen its power. Not
only was the virus weakened in this
way, so the dispensers claim, but the
rats mad the most favorable condi-
tions to live if an insufficient quantity
OF the virus was given them. They
were fed regularly, were in a well
shaded cage, and had an abundant
supply of good water. which condi-
tons they would not generally be
fortunate enough to find. 1t is
known that rats shun the daylight.
1t is said that a rat exposed to the
sun for a few hours will die. While
in tne cage they hubble up in one
corner, each trying to burrow under
the other
The makers of the dry virus, with
which experiment No. l was conduct
ed. wish to correct some impressions
that have been circulated in regard
to the virus. In the first place. they
do not deem il to be a poison in the
ordinary sense of the term. Nor Is
there any fixed time in which il will
act, any more than there is a fixed
time in watch human being suffer
ing from any dangerous maIady will
die. The virus. il is said, is not an
active poison, but creates in the rats
a disease known as typhuS fever. and
this disease is gradually fatal. 1t Is
highly infectious among rats. and one
rodent may obtain it from another by
biting the carcass CO one killed by
the virus II is said in this COnneC-
ton that the rats will not devOur
their dead companions If other food,
such as grain, is within easy reach
When they are extremely hungry
they will suck the blood from the
body of their fellow-cTeatuTe. but
must be suffering unusual hunger to
eat the carcass.
The reports from the field tests
are very encouraging 10 the dealers
in the dry virus. as hundreds of dead
rats have been found in the selected
square. Every day patches of them
are found dead, and il is believed IN
few DAYS the mortality among them
will be enormous
