The School Board's Action.
Antelope, April 6, 1897.
Editor Chronicle : In the Antelope
Herald of a week ago the following arti
cle, which explaine itself, appeared un
der tbe above caption :
The recent action ot onr school board
in demanding the immediate resignation
of Prof. Lake from tbe principalsbip of
onr public school is heartily approved by
almost every moral, law-abiding citizen
within the district, and -the unanimous
verdict of the people is that, acting upon
simply Mr. Lake's own admissions and
confessions, and barring the two 'more
Berious charges, the directors could have
done nothing else than dismiss him if
they bad any regard whatever for the
oath wb;ch they took after being elected.
To show that tbe action of the board is
heartily approved by the people, we call
attention to the fact that Mr. Z. Taylor
last week circulated 8 petition, asking
for the return of Mr. Lake to , said prin
cipalsbip, but the petition met with
such a cold rebuke from our citizens that
it was mighty soon dropped, with prac
tically no signatures, except, perhaps,
a very few who were indifferent in the
matter, or least informed as to the real
facts in tbe case. The school board is
composed of three men who were previ
ously warm friends of Mr. Lake, and
who were able to give him a most just
and partial bearing. Tbe said board
were tbe only ones who heard all the
evidence in the matter, and were there
fore the only ones able to judge of the
merits of the case. They unanimously
adopted a resolution demanding Mr..
Lake's resignation for repeated conduct
unbecoming a principal of a public
school, and, let the chips tall where they
may, we have no hesitancy in asserting
that any citizen who, knowing the facts
as they were presented to the directors,
will oppose the action taken by said
board, is himself guilty of conduct un
becoming a good citizen. .
I desire to say that the article above
quoted does not state tbe facts, there
being two notable misrepresentations.
. Mr. Z. Taylor has not at any time, por
baa anyone else, circulated a petition
asking for the return of Mr. Lake to said
principalsbip, or for any other purpose
in connection with the school. It fol
lows that it could not have met with '&
cold rebuke," or that "it was mighty
eoon dropped." In connection ;with
others I canvassed the district to see
how many were in favor of Professor
Lake's being re-instated, and we found
tbe district almost unanimously in favor
of it, there being only about Bix opposed.
A petition was not circulated because
we understood that two of the directors
wonld not sanction bis return, even
thoneh the sentiment of the district
were unanimous in favor of bia doing so
The people generally do not believe
the statements made concerning Profe:
sor Lake, and think . be has been
wronged, and that only the prejudice of
tbe two directors, Sbntt and Condon,
prevents them seeing and understanding
this. . Z. Taylob.

on all Bides. Tbe sale of seats and

vFor more than a hundred years the
Shakers have been studying the "rem
edial properties of plants. They have
many discoveries, but their greatest
achievement was made last year. It. is
a cordial that contains already digested
food and is a digester of food. It is
effective in removing distress after eat
ing, and creates an appetite for more
food so that so that 'eating becomes a
pleasure. Pale, thin . people become
plump and healthy nnder its use. It
arrests the wasting of consumption.

forward in the cure of indigestion as this

POST OFFICE SECRECY.
Ask a tetter Carrier tbe Address of Your
Friend, and He Will Ittj: "Ekcum Me." -
It is not generally known that Uncle
Sam looks upon the address or where
abouts of one of his citizens as an in
violable secret; Such,- however, is the
case, says the New York World.
A New Yorker who had been out of
the city for some time found upon his
return, a few days ago, that one of his
intimate friends had changed his resi
dence without leaving his exact new
address. All he could gather was that
bis friend "now lived in a fiat on the
north side of a certain street. .,
When he arrived at the block in ques
tion he found to his dismay that every
house in it was a flat house. He would
have to go from door to door 'until he
found his friend's name over one of the
bells.' , - .
. He had not proceeded far when he
met a letter-carrier making hi3 usual
delivery., Here, he thought, was the
man who could save him a lot of time
and trouble.
' "Yes, sir," replied the postman, in re
sponse to his inquiry, "I know the party
very well. But I am sorry to say I can'
not give you his number. It is against
the rules." N '
.The same -secrecy is observed at the
post office. The postal address of any
body will not be given by the federal
authorities even to a state officer. . This
rule is in accordance with the general
principle that a man's dealings with the
government are of a confidential na
ture.
JAVA'S NATURAL WONDER.
Home of the Hot Devils Possesses Great
. . Interest to Travelers.
The greatest natural wonder in Java,
if not in the entire world, is the justly
celebrated "Gheko Kamdka Guniko,
or "Home of the Hot Devils," known to
the world as the "lsland.of Fire." . This
geological singularity is really.a lake
of boiling mud, situated at about the
center of the plains of Grobogana, and
it is called an island because the great
emerald sea,' of vejretation which sur-.
rounds it gives it that appearance. The
"island" is about two miles in circum
ference and is situated at a distance of
almost exactly 50 miles from Solo. Near
the center of this geological freak im
mense coluixms of soft, hot mud may be
seen continually rising and falling like
great timbers thrust through the boil
ing substratum by giant hands, ana
then again quickly withdrawn. Be
sides the phenomenon of the boiling
mud columns there are scores of gigan
tic bubbles of hot slime that fill up like
huge balloons and keep up a series of
constant .explosions varying with the
size of the bubble. In times past, so
the Javanese authorities say, there was
a tall, spirelike column of baked mud
on the west edge of the lake, which con
stantly belched a pure stream of cold
water, but this has long been obliterat
ed, and everything is now a seething
mass of bubbling ' mud and slime, a
marvel to the visitors, who come from
great distances to see it.
CURSES OF INTERMARRJAGE.
Afflictions Entailed Upon tbe British Royal
Family by Blood Marriages.
A writer. in America, discoursing on
the results cf intermarrying, gives an
appalling list of the diseases and de
formities with which various members
of European royal houses are afflicted,
owing to this cause.' Frommere facial
deformity up to insanity, says London
Truth, there is scarcely any distressing
affliction 'with which humanity is af
flicted which does not find a place in
the list. Very possibly this catalogue
may be incorrect, but experience un
questionably proves the fact that there
is a degeneration in royal families. To
a certain extent this may be due to in
termarriage, but I suspect that it is
still more due to the species of cult that
is paid to royalties from generation to
generation, and which must in the na
ture of things weaken their intellectual
fiber. Nothing can be more mentally
injurious for a man than to have nil his
wishes anticipated by a crowd of syco
phants, and through life to find all
agreeing with him with whom he is
Drought in daily contact, instead of be
ing subjected to the discipline involved
in social equality. Just as we have lost
the tails that were the appendages of
our .primeval ancestors because grad
ually the habit of wagging them fell
into disuse, so all mental virility gradu
ally disappears from families that arc
long regal, because- they have no op
portunity to exercise it. "
HER EFFECTIVE METHOD.
Fair Passenger Makes a Request for More
Room in the Street Car and Gets It.
. She was Jittlc and meek looking; he
was big and a bully. This was apparent
the moment they entered tbe ear, "says
the Chicago Tribune. The impression
was intensified by the timid way' in
which. she crowded herself, into the
least possible space; while he spread
himself all over. His coat sleeve was
interposed between her face and the
rest of the car, and the skirts of his long
ulster almost covered her lap. " The
other passengers supposed them mar
ried as a matter of course, and when
.the little woman spoke, she might al
most as well ha.ve fired a bombshell.
Slowly and carefully extricating her
self from the foJds of his garments.she
gently but decidedly seized his arm,
and lowered it into a position which per
mitted her to see the conductor as he de-manded-his
fare. Then she addressed
him quietly, but in a clear voice, which
was audible all through the car;
' "I am afraid T must trouble you a
moment," she said gently. "Will you
kindly ask this gentleman nextmc to
remove his elbow from my mouth?"-
The conductor stared, .the other, pas
sengers laughed, but the ilttle woman
never moved a muscle or an eyelash,
ond the elbqw came' down to normal at
titude suddenly. -
