from lob at stake" import

was called Wednesday. The entire
day was consumed in taking evidence
and night session was necessary.

Moser was being cross examined was
rather salacious. When drawing out
certain information from the defen-

could go on in the same strain until
the following day. But all agreed
with the Judge that they had had
enough.
The arguments were made to the
jury this morning. Attorneys Withrow
Morgan and Byron were all there to
musical degree with the forensic
eloquence. 1t waited through the
large court room like the tunes Of an
Aeolian harp in spring zephyr. Whetl
the jurors retired to their room to
deliberate upon the case surely they
must have been in a quandary as to
whether they should let the prison

After being out three hours the
jury brought in verdict of not

A LITTLE ALCHEMY.

Alchemists have for ages, worked
over the problem of making gold
from dross. Gold has been changed to
brown powder. Apparently non
metallic, this would be equivalent to
reducing the gold to other than a
metallic base. II the brown powder is
non.metallic, were it possible to re-
duce the powder to other elements? ?
In other words. what are the COM
ponents Of the powder; metallic or
non-metallic? II non-metallic, this
substance divided or its constituents
determined, were 1t not possible to
produce the brown powder without
the use Of gold?
The same in the case Of lead. Sub
lined lead is Of hair-like appearance
and rs fine as silk; an earthen look.
and the question arises, why is 1t
not possible to separate this into
other than its original form? BY do
ing that-finding the constituents Of
the earthen thread-like substance,
could not lead be thus produced?
There may be an element of origin
ality in this upon which assayers.
chemists or metallurgists might waste
= little time In trying to prove. The
opinion is that the gold to which
the brown powder has been reduced
is still gold, and the lead. in the sub
lined state is still lead and that
only. always and forever. The sub
ject Of metallurgy is not all specula.
tive, and science is we'll advanced in
determining the constituents Of most
anything by chemical analysis.

TEACHERS APPOINTED.

structors in the Central schools who
have been serving the past year or
more will be pleased to learn that
while the school Is to lose their con-
nection, they have all procured very
satisfactory positions in other fields.
The close Of school year, though it
may bring to the scholars many pleas
ures there are always certain changes
that transpire to cause keen regret.
The severance of close association
between the pupils and the teachers,
even though the instructor may not
leave the city-the passing of the
pupil from lower to a higher grade.
| is a change which no school boy
or girl can experience without some
feeling of sorrow.
Miss Anna Taylor, who had done
such efficient work in the High
school, takes the position of instruct
or in science in the High school of
Eaton.
E. G. Green, who has rendered sig
nal service in the capacity Of Latin
and German instructor, has been
called to a chair in one of the best
and most prominent colleges in the
state of Texas. located at Fort
Worth
1t is not known at this time where
Miss Lola Taylor will again resume
teaching, but she will decide upon a
school in some part of the state.
Miss Taylor contributed her indi-
vidual work the past year in making
the efficiency of the corps of teach
ers in the Central school complete.
Charles Brown, as has been an
nounced before, has been elected in
structor in science in the Lamar High
school. Mr.. Brown gave the highest
satisfaction here and Lamar is to be
congratulated upon his acquisition to
| their force of teachers.
The retirement of Prof G. r. Mo-

force Of untiring energy in building
up the Central school during the

his three-yeaf term before he had
brought about a decided change for
the better in school affairs. 1t was
but short time before he had won
the confidence of the school board /.
the highest regard and devotion of
the scholars, and the hearty coopera-
tion Of the parents. Under his direc-
tion the school has prospered and he
leaves work that was well and
thoroughly done.
The list of teachers for the High
school have not been selected, but
number of good instructors are
under consideration. The selections
will be made within a week or two.
In the grades. Prof. J. H. Matthews
who has been in charge of the Black
Hawk schools for years, has been
named as principal. The grade teach
ers are: Misses Susie Richards, Lo-

There will be one teacher less in the
grades this year than last. owing to
the decrease in the enrolment.
