recent years is now extending to tho
departmental grades in all the grade
buildings OF the city. according TO
Mr.. Slade. who today confessed that
the school authorities face a big prob
lem in placing the pupils to good adj
vantage.
Salt Creek is no exception to Cas-
per and indications are that two new
teachers will have to be added to the
stan OF four already engaged. This
condition exists despite the starting
of a new school for 25 pupils at the
Ohio camp and a larger enrolment
at the Reasoning camp.
Some have been of tho opinion
that Casper mas been going back
ward but they would be disabused of
tho notion IL they could be with us
today" said Mr.. Sladc. "All indica-
tons point to a much larger enroll

No accurate count OF the enrolment
could be obtained today. due to the
fact hi high school registrations
had not been completed and COM
m~unication with some lower grades
was impossible. Figures viii be avail

A Long Wild Ride.

When General Kearney was ordered
from Sante across to California with

his report back to Washington as soon
as it could be done. The messenger

lone man for his outfit. A haf-dozen
times or more hid in some draw in

too, riding into their herds and roping

Fight With A Lynx.

An engineer, while at work in the
engine-room Of a hour-mill at San
Quentin, Lower California, was at
tackled by a half-starved lynx. The
man was cool, and used effectuallv the
only weapons at hand-a brick and a
jack-knife.
While at work, the engineer heard q
strange purring sound behind him, and
looking toward the door, saw the LYNX
staring at him. No weapon other than
a brick was at hand, and before N.
man could seize that the animal erowI.
Gu and prepared to spring. lust a.
the lynx was jumping, however, the
orlck-thrown with the engineers full
srength-struck the animal squarely
between its eyes, slightly dazine the
orute, though but momentarily check
ing its leap.
But that instant gave the man a
chance to shift his ground, in doing
which he upset barrel of water, and
part OF the contents splashed over the
lynx
This sudden bath confused the ami
NAL and caused it to halt for a second
or two, enabling the man to open his
)ack-knife and meet with its sharp
point the spring of the lynx.
Luckily the knife entered at a vital
point and the lynx fell dead, although
the engineer stabbed it at least doz-
en- times more to make sure OF the fact
AS it was a large lynx, the result might
nave been different if it had been we'll
led and full of visor instead of half
starved.

AS representative citizen, Mr.. Ames
is often invited to say few words to
the students on the occasion OF his Wis
its to the public schools. AS he is an
entirely self-made man, and has gained
his experience and his independence
within few miles OF his birthplace, he
regards his own particular road to sue
cess with great favor. Every boy who
has listened to his stories is we'll aware
that il it is not economy it is industry
that eventually lands one in a posi-
ton OF dignity and power.
The boy who recently drew his con-
clusion from the depths Of personal ex-
perience and guessed wrong was new
conner to town.
Mr.. Ames had been discussing the

accumulation. "And now" he said,
in conclusion, "what does the busy,

Making Speed Records in 1881.

Mr.. Gales, editor OF he National
Intelligencer, wrote on October 3ist,
1881, giving an account of his journey
between Ba itimore and Ellicou's Mills
on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad:
1--WE travelled in large car drawn
by one horse, carrying eight or ten
persons.
ain the distance between Baltimore
and Ellicott's Mills the horse was
changed once, going and coming. In
going we did not accurately reckon
time, but in returning the whole dis
lance Of Is miles was performed in
SO minutes-the limit to the speed be-
ing the capacity Of the horse trotting
rather than the labor he was asked to
perform. The locomotive steam en-
CINE, in the train Of which cars load
ed with persons are occasionally
drawn, as well as those loaded with
materials Of commerce, is propelled at
the same rate and might be propell-
ed much more rapidly il it were de-
sirable. But for our part we have no
desire to be carried by any mode of
conveyance more rapidly than at the
rate OF 10 miles the hour. A much
greater speed We are satisfied would
be attended with considerably liability
to accidents and with 10 little inirrv
to the road. Even a that speed the
greatest care and circumspection are
necessary, and we do TOT think that
we should feel entirely safe, under my
circumstances, in travelling on rail-
road by night at anything like that
speed.
AS great highway OF commerce the
canal is beyond comparison. The ca
nal is far superior to the railroad in
reference to economy, accommodation
and general adoption to the wants Of
the country.
III Will require great care to guard
against accidents. For ourselves, we
met with no accident of any sort. One
OF the cows, which we overlook, cast q
suspicious glance toward us as the car
rapidly passed her, which filled 10 with
a momentary alarm lest she should
attempt to cross our path, but luckily.
Sne took a direction from the road D.

Though he bore one Of the most dis
tinguished names in history, he failed
to live up to il. The Chicago Record
tells Of the failure.

about the way Christmas was cele-
brated at the institution. She went out
there in the afternoon to see how things
were getting on, and found youngstef
as black as the inside OF coal-mine
tied to bed post, with his hands be-
hind him.

she demanded OF the attendant.
