TROUBLE N
DISTRICT 1s
Mrs. Workman Resigns Her
Position a. Clerk.

As result of disagreement
over the site for new schoolhous,
and the failure Of plan to con
soIidate districts IS and 19, Mrs.
H. S. N'orthman. clerk. has resign
ed from the board, and County
Superind-nt Bean has been called
upon to endeavor to settle the diff
eIences and smooth .ver the trouble
that has been brewing for year
past.
District 19 is located across the
river north of this city. 1t is six
miles long by four wide and em
braces all the territory from the
county line west to Pat Edvalson s
farm and fiom the river to the foot
hills that skirt the bench. The
board is composed of Merv. Han
thorn. chairman. Mrs. H. S. Worth
man, clerk, and John Burger.
A year ago last April, the dis
trict voted to issue 1890 in bonds
to build new schoolhouse on the
bench. The old schoolhouse is
located at the foot of the bench
land. but since the bench land
has come under irrigation and is
being settled up the old building
was found to be in an inconvenient
location for the majority of the
families who have children. Be-
sides the building is unfit for school
purposes. So it was decided to
erect new building as near the
center of the district as possible
and to endeavor to consolidate
districts 19 and 55. the latter be.
ing known as the Price Bane dis
trict and joins No. 19 on the west.
A petition praying for consolids- /
tion was presented to the county
commissioners. but the Bane dis
trict patrons fought the proposition
and the petition was turned down.
Then arose the question of site
for the new building. aud the dis
trict was divided into two fac
tions. one wanting it located on
the Birmingham farm and the other
on the Mrs. Hunt farm. which is
the center of the district. To ad-
just the differences, a committee
composed of T. A. Gordon, D. D.
Farusworth and c. W. Lake was I
appointed to ascertain the best S
site. They reco nmended the lat c
ter location. q
Owing to the friction among the '
board. Mrs. Workman last week S
sent in her resignation. Miss Y
Bean will personally investigate T
he matter and endeavor to adjust i
he differences. so that work on c
he new building may begin at e
once and school facilities provided e
or the children of the district. P
During last year, eight children "
rom north of the river attended o
he Emmett schools free of ex- Q
y anse, but the coming year it is
probable a tuition fee will be re-
Iuired of ali pupils from outside

From toe Philadelphia Public Ledger
Some years ago there lived in Arkansas
q man named Reynolds who owned a
narrow-gauge railroad from Malvern
Junction to Hot Springs II was partly
due 10 the fact that he had put by neat
little fortune and partly 70 his habit OF
wearing an enormous diamond shirt stud
that he had won the nickname of Dia-

It was Diamond Joe's boast that no one
had ever stolen a ride on his little twen-

telling this TO his friends he offered a re-

BITTER PILL FOR o'BRIEN.
Double Cross Has Given Burns the
Chance TO Get Easy Money.


Philadelphia, May T.-What a bitter
pill it must be for Jack O'Brien to see
Tommy Burns picking up so much easy
money in Europe, all because of that
double cross Tommy gave Jack out in
California one year ago Squlres. Moir,
Palmer. Roche, and Smith would likely
have been nearly as easy for OBFien as
they proved TO be for Burns, and it
would have been Jack. and not Tommy,
who would have been coming the cash
had Burns kept his promise and lay
down to O'Brien in place of licking him
O'Brien has not had a decent fight
since that last affair with Burns on May
S, 1901. and had his business ventures
turned out pr0fitably. he very likely
would have been given another chance
fought or faxed again. But for good old
charitable Philadelphia, o. Brien probably
would have been given another chance
to fight in public, for he admitted that
nearly all his big matches had been
frame-ups. After a long rest, he re
entered the ring in this city with a queer
bout with BIZ Heveron, and then opened
up a club Of his own with a six-rOund
bout with Jack Bonner, who had both
game for some time.
Now O'Brien is matched with Jack
Blackburn, the husky colored fighter.

weight. and who has offered 70 make i33

Better Gas Engines.

From Y0ith's Companion.
The third report of the gas engine re-
search committee Of the Institution OF
Mechanical Engineers in London records
showing that the highest economy is
obtained with compar atively low maxi
mum temperature. The Implication Is
that gas engines should be subjected not
only to lower pressares, but to lower
temperatures. Thus. Il is said, many
dinlculties that arise in large engines
where charges Of rich gas are used
might be avoided and the maximum pres
sure kept down to quite reasonable limits.
If constructed to work only with mod
crate pressures and temperatures the
whole Of the working parts might be
very much lighfened,

FROM A RECENT NOVEL.

Prom SuCCess Magazine
She dropped her eyes; he threw up his
head.
Her face fell; he ground his teeth.
Her cheek burned; his heart sank.
She grew cold as ice; his brain was on
FIRE.
Her heart came up in her throat; his
brow grew dark
Her eyes flashed fire. he tore his hair
Her very soul was rent; he could have
bitten his tongue in two for saying it.
She cast the lie back in his teeth; he
swallowed lump in his throat.
She shuddered as with a mortal wound; /;
he grew weak as water
An icy hand clutehed az her heart;
then he trembled like an aspen.
She grew faint and sick; he was in
agony.
Plainly she strove for breath his eyes
blazed
She swept from the room; he fell in a
heap on the rug,
Plainly, after all this, life could never
be the same again for either of them.
