nounced his intention of shortly re-
turning to the front. He did so and
met his death.
Sergeant-Major Sherbourne served
in the United States navy in the war
with Spain and subsequently served
in the British army in the Boer war.
He was present at the capture of San
tiago in the former war and in the
latter he earned a medal. After the

To the Public.

The small compensation paid To-
cal agents by Fire Insurance Com
panies for handling their business
and the requirements of these COM
panies as to the prompt remittance
of balances viii not permit of ex-
tended credit to the public and at
the same time allow the industry to
remain on legitimate and profitable
basis to the agents.
Therefore to correct the rapidly
growing tendency towards unlimited
extension of credit, which unfortu-
nately has become quite general in
the insurance business in Pensacola,
we the undersigned local agents have
found it necessary to adopt the fol-
lowing rule with reference to the
payment of premiums, which becomes
effective August 1, 1915, viz:
Premium in full on each and every
fire and tornado insurance policy
must be paid in cash before the 10th
day of the second month following
the month in which the policy is is
sued, after which time if the premium

We solicit the cooperation of the
insuring public of Pensacola and sin
cerely trust they will appreciate the
necessity prompting this action and
the spirit in which it is intended.

TURKISH OFFICER TELLS OF
TRUCE BETWEEN THE CON-
TENDING FOES ON GALLIPoLI
PENINSULA.

General Headquarters, Gallipoli
Peninsula, Turkey, Aug. 14.-Though
the British asked for the nine-hour
armistice, which took place on May
"a, in the Ar Burnu theatre of war,
they were afterwards inclined to
drive a hard bargain for it, according
to Major Renal, adjutant to General
Essad Pacha, commander of the
third Ottoman army. Major Renal
was entrusted with, the negotiations
preceding the armistice, and was
given carte blanche by his superiors
after they had decided what the con-
ditions Of the arrangement were to
be.
"The British sent parliamentary
into our lines on May 22nd," said
Major Kemal to the Associated Press
correspondent. "The officer came with
a white flag and I was detailed to
ascertain his wishes. These were that
we grant an armistice for the pur-
pose of burying the dead, many of
whom had lain between the Turkish
and British lines for 20 since
April %. The stencil had become I'M
bearable to the British, the officer
stated, and a period in which mill
tary operations were to be suspended
by both sides, and in which the
bodies might be inferred, seemed very
desirable.

for the arrnistice and discussion of

"Only two of the conditions are of
sufficient interest to be referred to
here, because the negotiations con-
corning them indicates what the Brit

is" said Major Renal when asked to
speak of the negotiations.
CAS- is the practice during arms

dead as were found on our part OF

the more valuable. Every child in school had some of his work on eX- hibition and it was a worth while object lesson to see him pilot his parent or friend to see 1t.
 It is not possible in q short ar ticle to cover the scope of work ex- hibited. There was so much to be seen that the impressions received are something in the nature of flash lights.
 On a table in the primary room were some dear little sets of paper furniture. On the walls were mat weaving, paper cutting, drawing and water color work. Not the less in- teresting were the lesson papers !n reading, spelling, writing and number work. It was quite evident that the plastic mind and the awk- ward little fingers had both re ceived good training here.
 The next room showed that the third and fourth grades had spent busy and profitable year. The geography maps and the illustrated language lessons were especially good. The Easter week spelling booklets In the shape of well exc cuted little bunnies attracted much attention. The drawing and water color work was excellent.
 The next room showed that child hood had merged into girl and boy hood. The creative period had be- gun. Certainly the fifth and sixth grades had been busy and well busy Representing a new department in the Skagway school and one that promises we'll for the future of the little maids, was the desk exhibit of sewing and crochet work. Every stitch of it done by herself" more than one fond mother was heard to say. The boys exhibit of bird houses, book racks, utility boxes, etc, claimed a large share of at tention and favorable comment.

GOOD WORK OF
 PUBLIC SCHOOL

Among the several functions which made busy last week for the teachers and pupils, none was more important and interesting than the exhibit of the work done in the public school and in the manual training and domestic science de- partments of the Parent-Teacher as sociatiou. This exhibit was held on Monday evening in the several school rooms. It occupied desk and wall space, and its arrange meut represented time and work for both teacher and pupils. It was a most instructive and interesting ex- hibit and should have been seen by every person who is interested in our school system. That it repre- sented the routine work of the school and not merely an exhibit prepared for a display, made it all

pays a high price for it's schools. The Pilgrim Fathers started the movement, Skagway keeps in step in a financial way by paying about seventy dolla2 per pupil per year for it's public schools. Here, as in all the cities of the states, the system represents the greatest muni- cipal ownership. Every great business has experts to direct 1t. The school system in the best schools of the country is 0 careful ly worked out plan. Some of the brighter men and women in the world have Fut their minds to solving it's problems. President Will son, first of all Is q teacher.
 That the Skagway school has followed along the lines indorsed by the best schools and greatest educators of the present day is surely a matter of .congratulation. That the school be kept up to a high standing is the duty of every one interested in its great work.

EASTERN OTTO MINING

 The mines i1 Muskingum county are of the three-fool vein, and it $ almost impossible to use mules,
 orses or machinery in the entries, so dogs have been substituted, the buskies pulling the loaded cars along the .tr9rks. Nearly 200 dogs are working in the mines in this one county.
 Most of the dtas are owned by the miners, who take great pride iu the "huskies" and frequently stage dog races betT cen teams.

that child will enter with enthu- siasm into the spirit of the work if his mates are working too, where as it would be hard to get him in- terested if he worked alone, the educational value of this new de- pattment can scarcely be over-esti- mated. The industrial maps, the Panama canal and the Alaska book lets, the latter with cover designs in water colors representing some thing characteristic of Alaska were especially good. The free hand drawings and water color work made the walls of the room very attractive.
 In the principals room, the sey- enth and eighth grades, and the high school pupils had wrought well. The history booklets . with the filled in maps by the pupils, and the pictures, illustrating the topics, gleaned by the pupils from books and magazines, made the study of history something more than the memori2ing of dates and facts, whose association ic not al- ways seen. TNc illustrated book lets on Better Babies "The Early History Of SkagWay and many oth- CT subjects, made the spectators finger over them. The blackboard exhibited some work ir geometry, which showed clean clear reasoning in the tenth grade pupils. The dainty and useful garments made by the girls in this room, received much favorable comment. While the manual training exhibit made by the boys excited suprise and admiration. The writing desks showed better and more aspiring work than the parent in general had believed his boy capable of. The book and plate racks and Oth- CT subjects were attractive and useful articles. When one con siders that only one afternoon in two weeks has been given to the lessons in manual arts, the re suits achieved seem rather wonder ful.
 During the evening the Parent Teacher association held a business and social session in the assembly room. MT. Hahn being called upon for a speech, said among other things that the school, during the past year, under good leadership and splendid team work, had. been brought up to the standard of the best schools in the states. As a members of the school board, he officially announced that the last two years Of high school work were to be taken up, thus giving the public a chance to complete the high school course at home.
 Mir. Britt being present, was called upon for a speech and re sponded in a talk along education al lines. Among other things. he said that the educational bill passed at the last session of the Alaska legislature, was, in sort, memorial to the principal of the Skagway school. He had sem draft of the proposed bill to her. and to several other school principals. asking for their opinion Of it. Miss Keenan had criticisel the b:l as it then stood, and had suggested changes, which had Teen taken up in the legislature, anG after due considera- ton, had beeu incorporated in the bll.

COMMISSIONS
Right to Boost the
Irrigation Charges

LINCOLN. Feb. S-(Specal) -Included
among the call OF supreme court cases
TO be heard at the session commencing
Monday, February Is, the appeal Of the
customers of the McCook Irrigation and
Water Power company from the order
of the State Railway commission. which
grants the company an increase in It's
maintenance charges.
The appellants, who came in as re-
monstrants when the application of the
company was before the commission, con-
tend that the State Railway commission
is without jurisdiction to fix irrigation
rates Considered on this point, the case
has a most important bearing.
The appellants have the further point
that the action of the commission in
raising the rates was contrary to the mo
abridgement of contract" requirements
of both the state and federal constitu-
lions. The rates were increased from 81
to 81 per annum per acre. The original
contract with the company called for but
a 81 rate. This contract, the company
now claims, was improvident.
The case is set down for hearing on
Wednesday, February II.
