BRITISH SEAMAN TELLS OF The
RECENT NAVAL BATTLE
London, Sept. 5 (By Mail to New
York).-A British seaman, writing Of
the recent naval battle. tells of
slaughter on the bridge Of the Lib
eTty when all except one man were
killed, and of freak of the fight
where a clock on one of the boats
had its glass face smashed and one
hand carried away, but kept right on
running.
"The destroyer Laurel seems to
have suffered the most" the seaman
wrote in letter to a friend. "She
had one funnel carried away and the
others riddled like pepper boxes, One
shell struck her right forward, went
through her bulkhead, through the
galley door and out. The cookie was
in there at the time, but it missed
him and cut through the other side
of the ship.
ct was on the bridge and around
the guns where they suffered the
most. On the LbeTty's bridge every
body except. one was killed, In fact,
they were never seen since. They
must have been carried right over
board. The skipper of the Laurel had
both his legs shout away.
"The scout Arethusa came In last.
She brought in 100 Germans picked
up from the cruiser Mainz. They've
got one keepsake from her. They
picked up German officer, but he
died, and they buried him at sea.
They've got his uniform hanging up.
Two cooks were in the galley of the
Arethusa, just having their rum,
when a shot killed one and blew the
others arm of. A funny thing,
they've got a clock hanging up; it |
smashed the glass and one hand, but !
the blooming things still going"

BOWDO|N COLLEGE
 TO RAISE SALARIES
President Wilson's PTteeptoriaI
 Method to Be Tried There.

'~The preceptorial method of in struction inaugurated by President Wilson at Princeton University has so amply proved it's value that number of other institutions have been led to adopt it wholly or in part" declares Dr. s. F. Capen, specialist in higher education of the United States Bureau O. Education, in 8 statement Just issued. Bowdoin college is one of the latest converts to the idea, according to pr. Capen.
 In Bowdoin college the preceptorial method has been applied to history, government, and English literature. Group conferences of five or six students have replaced "quiz" sections in these subjects President Hyde finds that the new plan "costs double 1T. money, time. and labor, but bears fruit four-fold in vitality responsibil- ity and scholarly ambition One of the developments of the work at Bow doin has been a course in English composition for the best six writers in ccllege, with six professors to teach them. President Hyde answers one of the objections sometimes urged against the plan by declaring: Giving the most vital and costly instruction to a limited number of those who prove most competent to profit by it is not inconsistent with democratic equality of opportunity freely offered to all."
 Dr. Capen points out that the only reason many more colleges do not adopt the preceptorial plan is the ex- pense involved. This plan requires a substantial increase in teaching force and successful "preceptors" must be men of high ability sound training, and culture. To attract such men good salaries must be paid. and Bow C!oin proposes to devote bequests amounting to $6O0,000 to the single purpose of raising salaries.

LIGHTHOUSES STILL USE OIL Inferior to Electricity, the Latter's Ex. treme Cost Prevents It's Gen.
 eral Employment.

The latct he feat of inc light house engineer in British waters is the building of the new tower on the Fastnet rock, a small pinnacle of The eoast of Ireland. it cost no Iess aau S2lan.uo0, though it should hr added that in this item is included the expenses of a special steamer that was built 10 carry the stone blocks Co the rock. The light here is given by a series of incan- descent burners. producing a power { l.g0u candles. By means of mir TOTS this is intensified and concen- tratpd into single flash of ,5o.O00 candle power and capable of being -#au on clear night twenty miles e#t at seq
 It is remarkable fact that, de- spite thc wonderful advance which electricity has made oil is still gen orally uscd m Lighthouses. The truth is electricity has been found too costly for lighthouse work and there are few stations that boast of their electrical installations, the most fa- mnus exception being in IIeIsoIand lighthouse. whose electrical beams arc eqaal to l3.ooo.ooo candle power. The light here alone costs 5000 a year to maintain.

really more than they pay in to
I'll in the way of taxes. l have
noticed in the /, commissioner 8
proceedings that whenever we
have court that the bills for
jurymen and witnesses from the
north and always look exorbit-
ant. This, o. course, is due to
the long distances that they
have to travel and the time that
they spend coming and going.
The same is true with expenses
for election-the expense of a
precinct is twice as much up
in the north end as it is in the
Wilton precinct. Every year
there are several hundred dollars
expense on the Indian reserva-
tion and not a cent in taxes are
ever paid from this territory.
Take it all in all l think that
the north end is really dead
load to us and l am in favor
OF plIchlng IN ana helplng tnem
get a county organization of
their own and they will then be
satisfied and they can adjust
things to their own liking and
we will be saved lot of trouble
and expense with the good set
Of county officers that were
nominated at the primaries we
will be assured Of good, econo-
mical landing of the county S
business during the next two
years and l think it would
really be a business proposition
to dispose Of this county division
business this fall. l have talked
with many Of the voters around
here and the sentiment is all
in favor Of dividing this fall.

652 N. u. 15, we quote Judge En-
gerudes dccision." The plaintiff
contend that the cattle in q,1es-
tion were seized outside of Nc
Lean county, where the defendant
and the taxing officers of that
county had no authority to act.
The defendant contended, on the
other hand, that the place of
seizure lies within Mclean coun-
ty, and that the seizure and "ale
was therefore legal. The plead
ing fix the place of seizure upon
Section %, township 14S, range
86. This is within the boundar-
les of Mclean county as fixed
by chapter so, l29, laws of 1891,
!! the same being an act to in
crease the boundaries of Mclean
and certain other counties. Coun-
Gil for the Plaintiffs contend that
this act is void for the reason,
that the subject Of the act is
not expressed in the title, and
to sustain their contention rely
upon the decision of this court
in Richard V Stark County 8,
N. D. 1892, N. w. 1863. We are
agreed that the right of Mclean
county to exercise its corporate
authority over the territory add
ed by chapter so, p 129, Laws of
1891, i. not now open to question
This court held in State VS.. Nc
Lean County, II N. w. 356, 92
N. w. 1856, in a direct attack
by quo warranto upon the cor
porate authority being exercised
by Mclean county over the ter
ritory in question under the act
of 1891, that because of the long
continued and general acquies-
cence in the validity of that Act.
and for the reasons stated in
the opinion, it could not be
questioned, whether upon the ap-
phcation Of a private ,e'ator, or
even upon the application of.the
State. We are entirely satis-
fled with the concluson announc-
ed in that case. But regardless
of our conclusion in the, above
case, in no event can the present
attack be sustained. The former
was direct attacked. The pres
ent attacked is entirely collater-
al. Mclean county has been ex-
ercising jurisdiction over the ter
ritory in question under the as
sumed authority Of the act above
referred to for Is years. It is
settled law that "where Munci-
pal Corporation is acting under
color of law, and it's existance
is not questioned by the state, it
cannot be Collaterally drawn in
question by Private Persons.
1t is manifest thereof, that to
the extent that the plaintiffs
right of recovery rests upon an
alleged want Of authority in the
officers Of Mclean County to
impose and collect Taxes in the
territory in question, it is not
well fOunded.'

county. We Wilt have a good
set of officers now and the tax
es will be even ltss and not
more than they have been, and
both counties can be handled
easier and with less expenses
than it has been as a whole, so
if you, Mr.. Reader, will look
over everything in business
way and lay all parties aside
You will see it is only a tax
payers proposition. We believe
if you look over the map care
full y, study the articles in the
past, you will make a cross for
Hanna county. Then your duty
has been done as good tax
payer and a citizen.

THEY FAVOR THE
COUNTY DIVISION

j walton, N. u, Oct. ~, l9lE
Editor Leader: In the past M
neighbo1s and myself have al
ways opposed county division
and have encouraged everybody
to vote against it. In doing this
we have figured that the lines
and the shape Of the carving
was such that it was not right
and the. proposition looked to
us as though it was the schem-
ing Of some fellows who had an
ak to grind or who had some
thing up their sleeve that they
wanted to hand somebody in
place Of proposition to divide
the county. The dimes propos-
ed by some Of the county divis-
ion schemers have certainly
been ludicrous and there is no
wonder that the voters rejected
them. We have been studying
the map that shows the lines
for the new county Of Hanna
and this appeals to us as real
division proposition. The terri
tory is about evenly divided and
the lines are straight and the
proposition looks as though it was
on the square, aaasnot the work
|of some political schemer. I can
not figure out Lines that would
look better or that would be
more equal. We have Also been
looking into he merits Of this
thing and we have decided down
here that it would really be a
business proposition for us to
divide at this time. The people
up in the north end are the ones
that have always been doing
the kicking ever since this
county DIVISION agitation start
ed and have been complaining
that they were getting the worst
Of it. It has been the talk that
they have been paying the taxes
and getting nothing in return
and that the south was running
things to suit themselves and
that the only recognition the
north end people got was pay
ling taxes. If / am correct in
my conclusions pretty much Of
all of the territory that goes to
make up this new proposed
county of Hanna is detriment
to the. Mclean county organiza-
ticn, as l figure that the ex-
pense to the organization is

es along these roads that are
almost impossible and there is
not one half the distance where
roads follow the section lines.
On a stretch of grading done on
the main road between here and
Max, it is impossible to drive and
this piece of road has been in
that condition for more than
three years. All this time the
rulers Of the county have put up
the cry of 'no money to build
roads" and at the same time
have spent thousands Of dollars
for law suits and county affairs.
The roads are good in the south
ern part of the county and Of
course the opposition will claim
this is due to the fact that part
Of the county is older, more clost,
ly settled and has more taxes TO
make roads. We admit they
have more, but we should have
some, enough to plow a ditch
anyway. That is just where the
rub comes, the southern part of
the county is too strong for us
at the polls and the northern
part Of the county gets no rep
tresentation at the county seat,
unless it's some ''bone head' that
the southern part Of the county
knows they can work easier than
what they have got.
|. What are we getting for our
taxesi What are we getting for
supporting Washburn as the
county seat and holding Mclean
county as it isi Nothing, and
we will be getting the same re-
turns fifteen years hence. We
