Brazil, Ind., March 22.—The city school board to day sent a written doinand to Prof. Emery Munce, prin cipal of tho Moridiau street school, for his resignation. Tho demand slated that charges had been made against Prof. Muucie to tho effect that lie had attempted to embrace aud kiss one of his young lady pupils Miss Mabel Monroe. Prof. Muncio replied to tho board ho was not guilty of (ho charge, and refused to tender his resiguatiou. Tho charge against l ’ rof. Muncio was made by Miss Monroe to Oscar Honk aud John A. Kridur, members of the school board. Miss Monroe made the statement that she mot Prof. Muncie in the hall j and that ho threw his arm around her and attempted to kiss her.

Coghlan is about to be advauced five numbess on the list of naval captains through the remission by the president of part of tho sentence of a court-martial from which he is now suffering. Years agt>, when tho captain was a junior officer, he clashed with the detail officer of tho navy department, and for writing a sharp lettor was court mnrtialod and sentenced to 11 numbers in his grade By the special act rewarding tho captains o f the United States fleet engaged in the battle of Manila bay Captain Coghlan regained some of tbo lost numbors, aud ho now seeks to be completely restored. This will place Cuptoin Coghlan second on tho list of naval captains, just below Captain Sands, jumping him over Captains Clark, • Cook, Wise and Yates Sterling, and he would become a rear admiral in the course of a year through the retirement of Rear Admirals Remey and Farquabar. P r e p a r e s T o H ang. At St. Ann’s church, at 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon, Rev.

Last evening, the wedding party was euterlaiued at dinner by Mrs.Oglesby at her homo at 910 Fifth avenue north. Mr. and Mrs. Graetz will loave this morning for Gold Butte, where they will make their home.

Cauada will also bo asked to send statistics. When all reports are in, there will bo an effort to socuro legislation to preservo aud foster tho herds wherever found. The government has engaged in other counts of animals, a notable one being the general census of tho seals takon ou tho Pribilof Islands of the Bering Sen. T w o Land C o n t e s t s D e c id e d . Helena, March 20.—Two decisions of the commissioner of tho general land office and one of tho interior de partment in land contests from north ern Montana have been received at the Helena land office, tho local officials being sustained in oach case. The contest of Henry A. Howe against the homestead on try of B. Percy Clark, near Raymond, Teton county, is sustained. Howe 'alleged abandonment. Tho commissioner sustains the desert land entry of Jane Thomas on Box Elder creek, near Maddux, Choteau county. The contest of Daniel O’Neill is dismissed.

Critos of Quitman, both of whom aro promi nent feeders iu Missouri, are author ities for tho statement that fat cattle in tlio northwestern part of that state are scarcer than ever before. Not half as many will bo marketed this year as usual, and not half as many aro boing brought for sum mer feeding. “This same condition prevails iu other sections,” said Judge Woods. Tho result is going to be a continuation of high prieos. I sold seventy head of steers in Chicugo a week ago at §6.45 a hun dred, and believe that the price is going much higher; in fact, I believe those who have fat cattle next Sep tember will be able to get $S.OO to $.9.00 a hundred for them.” T e d d y to F ire T w o . Now York, March 23.—Commis sioner o f Immigration Fitchie, who has returned from Washington, talked very freely today of his call on President Roosevelt. He said he felt that his visit had done no good, and that both ho aud Assistant Com missioner McSwoeney would have to leave their positions. He sai^: “I asked tho president to seud gen tlemen of higher personal selection in whom ho had perfect confidence to tho island and let them look into our methods and see where we could do any hotter for the immigrant than we are doing. Ho would not listen to my proposition, but said that he directed, becauso of the friction be- Caspor, Wyo., March 23.—Cbarlos Woodard, tlio solf confessed slayer of Sheriff Ricker, has given up all hope of reprieve and is preparing to meet his fate next Friday. Woodard insists that ho will make a statement ou tho gallows which will cause a sensation. He has not made public the nature of the statement, but it is said that he will charge that his enemies hatched up the plot which has been the cause of all his troubles. C h iefly By A d v e rtising. A London journalist tells the business men of that community that tho surprising success of Ameri cans in placing their products among the English people is chiefly due to the skill and courage with which the Americans advertise. “They prove,” ho says, “ that tremendous influence of advertising in its effect on tbo success of an industrial nation.” The article is a striking tribute to the importance of publicity to business.

Coup, Principal; From the first number of the Choteau Calumet, dated December 18,1885, we learn that. “C. W. Ayers, of Benton is pre pared to ship fresh oysters to any part of the county at the low price of 90 cents per gallon.” * “ Choteau is well supplied with cordwood at S5@$G per cord.” “A load of turkeys and chickens, brought in by Matt Monroe last week were sold before the owner had' time to get out of his wagon. It is remarkable that our farm ers do not pay more attention lo raising hogs. With bacon at 14@17c and ham at 17@20c this industry certainly offers inducements.” “Ben Steell, proprietor ofthe Cho teau and Sun liivei; Stage company has just built a barn half way be tween the two towns.” “The Valley hotel, under the able management of .John Jackson and ’ son, is a model hotel in its way and enjoys a well-oarue(J reputation with the traveling public.” “It seems about time that Choteau had a daily mail service from Heleua, and also a money order offico. While Sun River, Fort Shaw and other neighboring communities have en joyed these advantages for ma. y yoars, Choteau has had to be conte it with a tri-woekly mail and no means of transmitting money except by drafts or registered lettors.' Wo trust that Delegate Toole will interest him self at tmeo in securing these needed facilities.” “Tho young tornado that struck Choteau on the 3d inst. confiued its attentions principally to outhouses, chimneys and fences. It however made such a clean sweep of Charley i Lepage’s blacksmith shop that a por tion of the building is supposed to be still traveling toward the Atlantic coast, and the proprietor is contem plating a trip to the states in search of it.” The school report shows that Miss S. Talbot was teacher and those pu pils neither absent nor tardy from Nov. 30 to Dec. 30, 1885, were: Hattie Schmidt, George Schmidt, Carrol Schmidt, Julia Schmidt, Ella Hamil ton, Harrv Martin, Wilbur Martin, Charles Dunlap, Frank Racine and Wallace Martin. A letter from Browning says: The excitement on the ceded strip is increasing and as a result all the land from the international boundary line south to the head of Cut Bank has bpgn located. Oil seepages are quite numerous in this district and there is a large amount of oil shale. A Riulla.Lake company has located a large tract of land in this district and reliable parties state that there . will be a drill in the St. Mary’s country in a short time. A large' force o f men is at work building a new bridge across the riyer at Main, so the traveling public will have no trouble on account of high water.— Gt.
