A Pleasant Srnprise.
Last evening as Rev. W. C. Curtis and
wife were enjoyingnvhat promised to be
a quiet hour with Mr. and Mrs. Bela
Huntington, Mr.Curtis was called to
the door. There being some failure to
understand just who was wanted. Mrs.
Curtis accompanied him to the ' door,
where- the two remained greeting one
and another, until about fifty of his con
gregation and friends stood around him.
Full half of them had entered the house
before it dawned upon him that it was a
surprise so complete that he came near
being absent from it altogether. Having
almost decided to yield to a certain in
disposition and remain at home for the
evening though some of the more sturdy
ones declared that he would have found
that impossible, as he would hare been
brought by main force if there had been
no other way.
After taking off their wraps the party
gathered around the pastor, when Mr.
Bela Huntington, in, a pleasant little
speech, presented him with a box of sil
ver coin, to help in replacing some of the
books or etudy furniture destroyed by
the fire, while by . word and way the
friends assured the pastor of their res
pect and affection. All of which was
fully appreciated by the pastor and his
good wife. The rest of the evening was
spent in games and social chat, and an
abundance of refreshments being fur
nished for the inner man. All together
making an evening long to be remem
bered by both pastor and people for the
real pleasure of it. .
Settlement of a School District Dispute.
The State Superintendent of Public
Instruction, E. B. Mcllroy, has just
rendered a decision in a case that was
brought before him from the Mosier dis
trict, on appeal from the decision of
County Superintendent Troy Shelly,
that involves matters of interest to the
general public. The history of the case
shows that in July 1891, thirty-five per
sons claiming to be legal voters in school
district No. 8 petitioned Superintendent
Shelly for a division of the district.
Notice of an injunction to stop
proceedings was served on Mr. Shelly in
the following month. In September the
case came fcefqre the circuit judge and
the injuction was dissolved. The dis
trict was then divided and notice served
on the chairman of. the board of direc
tors. This action was followed by a
remonstrance, signed by thirty-seven
persons claiming to be legal voter sin the
district and certain affidavits were filed
protesting against the division ; but the
superintendent" refused . Jo grant a
rehearing of ". the case and an
appeal was taken to the state
superintendent. . The appellant claimed
that the superintendent had failed to
notify the officers of the district that he
had made the division, that the division
would Work an irreparable injury to the
residents of the districts and - that the
district had a right of appeal.
- The respondent in his' answer held
that the district should be divided be
cause a considerable number of children
tin the new district had heretofore been
debarred from school privileges by reason'
oJE the distance .they lived from the school
house f that the 1T1 junction forfeited the
right of appeal : that the district was
divided in compliance with the- wishes
of a fnajority of the legal voters of the
district and that' the appellants erred in
bringing an injunction instead of offering
a reiuonstration or appealing to the state
supefTntendent.' . .
Thy stftts superintendent fully sus
tained the action of the county superin
tendent and affirmed hia decision.

Out in the bay stands the "dear old

Nipeic. It is to be' hoped that both these
historic ships may soon be repaired. All
the world associates the Hartford with

this interesting fact she is one of the
few remaining and one of. the most
beautiful of her type. Hers is indeed
a heart of oak. She is not "dead, "as an
old sailor lately said with a sigh. She
only sleeps.

The tendency of this disease toward
Eneumonia is what makes it dangerous,
a Grippe requires precisely the same
treatment as a" severe cold. Chamber
Iain's Cough Remedy is famous for its
cures of severe colds. This Remedy
effectually counteracts the tendencv of
the disease to result in pneumonia, pro-
viaea inai proper care ue taken to avoid
exposure when recovering from the at
tack. Careful inquiry among the many
thousands who have used this remedy
during the epidemics of the past two
