STRONGER TONE
BUTTER MARKET
DEALERS ARE PAYING FIFTEEN
CENTS FOR THE SHIPPING
PRODUCT.
The Receipts of Hens and Eggs Con-
tlnue to Be Very Heavy
Locally.

There is no material change in the
quotations on produce today, the
only variation being in the price of
butter, which is listed at fifteen cents
per pound for shipping stock. 1t is
firm at these figures.
Hens and eggs continue to pour in
upon the local produce men. The
movement is very heavy. Eggs are
being shipped directly to other cities
for storage during the hot season. IL

ALL SCHOOLS IN THE
CITY ARE OVER AND
CHILDREN ARE FREE
NONE OF THE FACULTIES HAVE
YET BEEN ANNOUNCED TO
THE PUBLIC.
MOST TEACHERS WILL Be BACK
Rumored That Dan Cupid viii Re-
move Few of the Teachers From
Pedagogical Ranks, and Their Sue
cessors Will Have to Be Elected.

The commencement season is over.
Some are glad, others are sorry.
The sweet girl graduate, in filmy
white, with arms laden with flowers
and her sheepskin, will be seen no
more for twelve months. The boys
are free to hunt and fish and work
for the next three months. The irk.
some duties Of the school room will
not bother them for a season at least.
The teachers are also free to get a
few weeks of rest, recreation, and
study before the advent of another
term.
The Central High School, the Co.
lumbia Institute, and the Military
Academy are all bleak and dreary
and quiet after the noise and hustle
of the last nine months. They seem
like deserted sepulchers at present. In
a week more the grass and weeds will
begin to creep around them.
None of the faculties of these
schools has been announced. How
ever, it is very sure that the most Of
the members will return. At the high
school it is likely that there will be
one or two changes, the rumor being
that Dan Cupid will take away one
or two Of the young ladies'.
At the Institute, the faculty will be
changed but little. Most Of the mem
bers have been there for years. There
may be some changes in the lower
grades
Col. Hulvey will arrive at the Mil
itary Academy within the next ten
days or two weeks, and after he has
made careful study of the situation
will announce his complete faculty.
It is understood that he will retain
most Of the old teachers. Capt. Nor
toms place will have to be filled, as
he goes to Gallatin this fall to as
sumo charge of the public schools at
that place.

CLOVER CUTTING
IS IN PROGRESS
MOWERS RUNNING OVER CoUN-
TY-cRoP Is VERY SMALL
THIS YEAR.

The cutting Of clover has started
over the county. Mowers are running
full blast in the fields. 1t is rather
early for this kind of farm work, but
the clover was ready and so the cut
ting was started.
The crop is very small this year
There is not nearly so large an acre
age as there has been in the past,
owing to the dry seasons of the past
two years, which killed most of the
young clover. Most of the clover is
of the alsike variety.

ALKAHEST WILL
LIKELY BE BACK
MANAGER SAYS THAT HE HAS
THE GUARANTEE OF NEARLY
ENOUGH TICKETS.

Il think We have the assurance of
enough tickets to warrant us In COM
ing back to Columbia next spring."
said the manager of the Alkahest
ChautauQua Co. Wednesday afternoon
just before leaving the city.
I'VE have pledges for about $50
season tickets, and l think that with
the start that we have made this
year we can raise this. to 500 very
easily next spring.
1--WE had a delightful time here,
and I am very anxious to see the
Alkahest come back again. The city
is delightful, the people are cultivat-
ed and refined, and our stay here
was most pleasant one.

HESSIAN FLY IS
CAUSING DAMAGE
NJ. Z. ALLEN EXHIBITS STALK
WHICH HAS BEEN CUT DOWN
BY FLY.

When the dry weather is not effect
ing wheat it is something else. This
time 1t is the Hessian Fly, which is
damaging it.
This morning Milt E. Allen brought
to this Office several stalks of wheat,
which had been completely cut down
by the fly. There were also several
other stalks, in which the egg had
been laid, and which would have top
pie over in few days. He is of the
opinion that there is a good deal of
grain which is suffering from this
pest Of the fields.

MOST OF CADETS
HAVE GONE HOME.
OUTGOING TRAINS WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON AND NIGHT TOOK
MAJORITY AWAY.

The city is almost clear now of for
eign pupils. The Institute girls went
home some days ago, while most OF
the young soldiers at the Academy
made their departure Wednesday aft
ernoon and evening for home, sweet
home.
It has been six months since a ma
jority of the boarders had been back
to their homes, and consequently it
took but little urging to get them
away. They caught the first train
out There were about fifty or sixty
of them.

LONDON, May 27.-The British
battleship TRUMP has been sunk in
the Dardanelles. This official an
nouncement was made tonight.
The disaster to the Triumph is de-
scribed in brief statement by the
admiralty, which says that while op-
Grating in support of the Austrian
and New Zealand forces on the shore
of the Gallipoli peninsula yesterday
the Triumph was torpedoed 10y a
submarine and sunk shortly after
ward.
| Most of the officers and men, in
Guiding the captain and commander,
are reported to have been saved.
The submarine was chased by de-
desroyers and patrolling small craft
until dark.
The official announcement does not
! say whether the submarine was Tur-
kish or German, but it probably was
of the latter nationality, as the Brit
ish legation at Athens recently offer
ed a reward for the sinking of Ger
man submarines supposed to be in
the Mediterranean.
The battleship Triumph was built
at Barrow in 1902 for Chile, but was
purchased in 1903 by Great Britain.
She was laid down under the name Of
Libertad.
Since the present war broke oue
the Triumph has been in operation in
both far eastern and European wa
tiers. AS flagship ofthe British ASH
attic squadron she participated in the
bombardment Of the German base of
Tsing-Tau, China, last October and
reported to have been damaged by the
she'll fire of the German forts.
In the latter part Of April the Tri-
umph bombarded the Turkish trench
es on the western end of the CALI
poll peninsula and afterwards went
into the Dardanelles to search the
trenches from different angle. Here
she came under the fire of a Turkish
| Howitzer battery on the Asiatic shore
which dropped sixteen shells around
her and threw three missiles on
board. Little damage was done by
the wounded. The battleship silenc-
ed the Turkish battery before retir-
ing.

Of the Senate, and Representative Kitohin, of North

It will probably be found that most of the innuen-

THE BATTLE WON OVER TYPHOID.

During four months of the spanish-Ameriean
war seventeen years ago, there more than 1000
Of typhoid among 10000 soldiers In Flor
ida camps In 1911, among 10000 men In our army
camps there were only three cases of the disease.
This marvel, the practical extinction OF what was
once the most terrible scourge OF the United States
army has been wrought by the compulsory use of
the anti-typhoid serum. The Public Health Service
argues very truly that II such degree of immunity
can be harmlessly conferred upon a body of men
living under adverse conditions the conclusion is that
protection can just easily be afforded to ordinary
citizens
A fast-increasing demand from the general pub
lie for antityphoid incubation is reported by the
Public Health Service which estimates that last year
more than 1000 persons throughout the country
we're immunzed, and 1t is believed that the number
this year will be trebled This readiness Of the peo
Pile to avail themselves of OF the greatest boons
ever offered to humanity by medical science gives
promise OF time in the very near future when

rare but entirely preventable

"PENNsY's" CONTRIBUTION TO DEFENSE

The reported plan of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company to give a months vacation to any of It's
employees who desire to into military training
camps is too late for this year but next summer
when there will be of these camps scattered all
over the country. 1t should prove an immense con-
trbuton to the movement for national preparedness
As one enthusiast It, the railroad will offer to the
United States government army of 100000 men,
or force larger than Meade commanded at Gettys-
burg.
The example is good one for all other railroads
and Industrial establishments to initiate Necessa-
Ily such scheme could not be worked out in full for
long time, railroads and industrial plants cannot
stop while their forces go a-soldering But If they
adopted systematic plan of this sort, nearly all their
employees could be brought within its scope in the
course of few years. Great employing corporations
might establish training camps of their own, under
Federal control at places convenient to their work
ers certain spirit of competition and pride might
he engendered in this way which would greatly pro-
mote the movement for national defense

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
The Man Who Beat Franklin Pierce at Checkers

Judge william Folsom, leading
citizen Of the town of Henniker, N.

very interesting anecdotes associated
with Franklin Pierce, who was elected

articles-including the sword which
Pierce wore when serving in the Mex
lean war-which are associated With
Pierce.
When I was a young man heard
General Pierce speak. He was a very
fine orator. With the exception, pos
sibly, of Daniel Webster, he was the
finest orator New Hampshire has ever
produced. My recollections OF Cen

and tender than any which Is asso-

was a. boy about twelve years OF
age I went with my father into the

Civic Courtesy

In the rush and hustle of daily toll,
which is all that prevents life from
being worth living in our local city,
there Is evident a tendency on the
part of the populace toward neglect
of the feelings of their fellow men
that the Bugle views with profound
regret. Where the citizenry are all,
at one and the same time, rushing
hither and yon in the vortex of COM
merce, it Is too easy to forget the
duties of courtesy and refinement
which go so far toward making the
day pleasant.
The jitney men are noticeable in
fringers on the rules of good conduct.

stead of bowling their wares and get

CHITCHAT
A Peach of a Story

One of mans assurances that he's
going to have more or less unhappi-
ness in his globe-tr through life
Is that he never knows just how good
thing he has until he has lost it.
John j. Green, clerk of the Bureau of
Contagious Diseases of the Board of
Health, has been lachrymose all week
about those peaches of his: not about
tho dozen he did get, but about the
scores he didn't get.
1t seems that last winter some
italian goats (Mr. Green swears
they're Italian because the owners
are) avoided the penalties of insult
ficient nutrition by banqueting upon
some youthful peach trees I'm Mr..
Green's place at 30S Riverside ave-
nue..
Last month the trees bore fruit
to be exact they bore twelve peaches,
and it was when Mr.. Green looked
at those peaches that he realized
what he had lost. Each one was of
a size to bulge a mans outside coat
pocket. The pit of each was no more
than an inch in length and thick in
proportion AS for the taste, Mrs.
Craster, wife of Acting Health Of
fieer Charles V. Craster, added to
Mr. Green's woes by saying she'd
eaten pCAChVS III 1AhA Opb iilu Oll IilO
Mediterranean and in Oregon and in
New England, but never had she
known a peach such as those.
DR.. Theodore Teimer, of tho Board
of Health, looked at one of the
peaches and ssfd 1t wasn't possible.
1t was wax, he was sure, until he
tasted it, and then no one could get
that peach away from the doctor.
Altogether they were some peaches,
and Mr. GREEN'S throat grows husky
each time he thinks of what a supply
he might have had If the goats
hadn't gotten there first.
