The regular quarterly examination of
teachers began at 1 o'clock this after
noon, with nine applicants, eight young
ladies and one gentleman. Professor J.
C. Neff, who is on the board of examin

night to attend to the duties of the po
sition.
And still the candidates for govern
ment offices are kept on the anxious
seat. It begins to look as though the
president had concluded not to appoint
nntil congress meats next December.
The fact that the delegation has reached
no agreement concerning the appoint
ments also indicates that they are not to
be made soon.
Spokane is to have a grand fruit fair,

thus get an idea ot what can be done in
this neighborhood in the way of fruit

AN AWFUL ACCIDENT.
Irs. C. A. Shurte and Her Two Children
Burned to Death at Arlington
News reached here this morning of a
terrible accident at Arlington last nighf.
that resulted in the burning to death of
Mrs. C. A. Shurte and two children.
Mr. Shurte was almost crazed with"
grief and from him alone the particulars'
could be learned. He went home, he
says, about 10:30 to 11 o'clock and went
to bed, placing the lamp ou a stand and
as he supposed turning it down and out.
He soon fell asleep, but was awakened
by a light in his room., mill iliinniu
that it was on fire, As it did not have
much headway, he ran out doors and
got the garden hose, thinking he conld
soon put it out, but returning was hor
rified to find the door, which had a
spring lock on it, had closed. He ran
to the back door, but here the fire was
in control. Hurrying back he broke in
the front door, but by this time the
whole interior of the house was a mass
Htm flp"1"- Thft firemen were soon on
hand and prevented the building burn
ing down, but were too late to save the
wife and children, who were suffocated
and badly burned, though, as we un
derstand, not beyond recognition.
Mr. Shurte was the manager for J. W.
Smith & Co., in their big mercantile
store, and both he and his wife were
leaders in the Methodist church work,
and were among Arlington's -most re
spected citizens. Rev. R. Warner re
ceived a telegram from Frank, brother
of Mr. Shurte, this morning to come up,
and left this afternoon.

Unless the governor can be induced to
commute the sentence of Kelsay Porter,
be will undoubtedly be hanged at the
date to be fixed by the judge of this dis
trict at the October term of court. It is
generally supposed, however, that a pe
tition will be sent the governor asking
that the death sentence be changed to
imprisonment for life. Such a petition
would no doubt be liberally signed by
the people of the county, but the crime
for which Porter was convicted appears
so grave it would be hard to anticipate
just how the case might appear to his
excellency. Mr. Porter has numerous
friends who will not despair in their ef
forts to save him. The matter will have
to be attended to in the near future to
be of any avail. Union Republican.
LOST.
J. A. Wright, the merchant, and Mr.
P. L. Kelley, of Sparta, arrived in
Union at one o'clock Monday . morning
bringing with them chunks of ore carry.
mg big pieces of free gold which were
picked from a newly discovered ledge a
mile and a half south of Sparta. The
find was made on Sunday by a man
known in the Sparta locality as "Kana
ka Sam," who has been employed in
Mr. Wright's store. A boy riding on
horse-back in this locality on Sunday
so found the out-cropping of an ex
tension of this new ledge and picked out
with his fingers $7.50 in gold.
Claims have been located by J. A.
Wright, P. - L. Kelley and "Kanaka
Sam."
The find has caused no little excite
ment and a big amount ot the quartz
has been boxed up for shipment direct
to the mint. It is estimated that it will
o at least $40,000 to the ton, but of
ourse no one as yet knows bow ezten
ive it may be.
There is a well settled conviction in
Cue minds of all practical mining men
at there is in the Sparta vicinity
rich feeder ledge to the placer deposits
of that district which have yielded per
baps a million dollars in the last thirty
years. Some day this mother lode will
be uncovered and Sparta will become
one of the prominent mining camps of
the world.
