with, the character of Roaalnl a conception
of the stupendous drama of Calvarv. Its
ht-uuty und exquisite sweetness haa never

Ion of thla famous composer, and the cir

have alwaya atTorded some grounds for Its
exclusion from the aervlcea of the CathoMo
church In which thla liymn forms a part.

profound devotional tone that characterizes
tho composition of Falestrlna, which. In

that may be applied to tho singing ef this

Presentation Well Sustained.
The choir presented a well sustained ren

was no halt In the superb movement and
rhythm of the music, and those portions
which more distinctly display Rossini's
nensuousness and florid treutment were
Ming with such subdued animation that the
deep religloua tone was preserved in har

occasion. Altogether It was a delightful
rendition and reflected, the highest praise on
not only the soloists and chorus, but on the
ciireful training given by the conductor.
The concert opened with the organ solo,
Morrison's "M jflltation," by Miss Judge.

with cases, but the number of doctors nnd

be drawn of the awful conditions existing
In this rart of India when recent official
returns showed that the mortality from

renched the enormous total of 818,000. Of
the whole total the t'nlted Provinces of
Agra and Oudh are responsible for 60
per cent and tho Punjaub for 10 per cent.
Kvery obstacle Is placed in the way of
disinfection of stricken areas and In

reason of caste prejudice and religious re

would be followed by the gravest conse
quences. In the larger of the afflicted com
munities some headway Is being made in
the direction of inducing the people to
temporarily abandon their villages when
shelter can be found for them elsewhere.
As before, the greatest mortality Is among
women. This Is attributed to the fact
that they spend more time In their houses
than the men and rarely wear shoes.

SCOTCH STAND FOR CLASSICS
Rejoice that the Attack on Greek at
Cambridge Met with
Failure.
ABERDEEN, Scotland, April 9. (Special
Cablegram to The Bee.) At a spring gen
eral meeting of the Classical Association
of Scotland, held here this week. Prof.
O. G. Ramsay, Glasgow, advocated the
teaching of classics in all country schools
which had no higher school within reach,
so the pupils might have the chance of
beginning long before 12 years of age the
higher university subjects. Prof. A. W.
Malr of Edinburgh, dealing with the teach
ing of Greek, said that the attack on com
pulsory Greek at Cambridge had been
triumphantly refuted, but np one knew
when the attack would be renewed. If
reform was to come, as come It must, it
was from the universities It must come.
Examination papers ought to encourage
more practical and Interesting methods.
Nothing was to be gained by cast Iron
methods of teaching. The rigidity ol '.:,e
present system was Its greatest bane.
He strongly pleaded for originality in the
tenchers, even though the originality might
tremble on the brink of eccentricity. Prof.
Malr showed how valuable time was
wasted In teaching useless rules and ex
ceptions to rules In the Greek grammar.
Prof. Harrower, Aberdeen, and Prof. Bur
nett, St. Andrew's, among others expressed
sympathy with Prof. Malr's views.

This evening the Board of Education will
meet and transact tome routine business
left over from the regular monthly meet
Ing helrt on April J. Bills will be conoid
ered and ordered paid. The feature of the
meeting will be the advertising for bids
for additional rooms to the Madison and
Corrigan school buildings. The plana for
the.e additional rooms have been approved.
Six rooms will be added to the Madison
school, making it when completed an eight
room building. At the Corrigan school
four additional rooms will be built, making
an eight-room building. Both of these
buildings were planned so that additions
could be made when'needed without mar
ring the general effect of the design. In
building school house additions It Is roughly
estimated that each room costs about $2,000.
This will make an expense at the Madison
school of about $15,000, Including changes
necessary to be made. The four new rooms
at the Corrigan school will cost approxi
mately $10,000, the total cost being est!
mated at 125,000.
Two weeks' time will be given bidders to
submit figures and then when the contract
Is let the board will expect that work will
commence just as soon as the schools close
for the summer on June t.
There Is money ln the school fund to pay
for these Improvements and contractors
will be Instructed to have the additions
completed by the time the schoola open ln

ments for commencing work on the 200-ton
plant which the company will erect this
year. Work on the boarding houses, ma
chine shops and other buildings for the
accommodation of the big force of men
that will be employed has already started
and will soon be finished, so when the
snow goes off the ground the grading for
the mill building will be started. Con
tracts for the plant and its erection have
oeen awarded and when that work is
started It will be pushed as raDldlv as
men can do it. The new plant will be
located on Spearflsh river, close to the
railroad, fnm which a sidetrack will bs
built, so delivery of the heavy machinery,
lumber and other supplies will be an easy
matter. This plant will be one of the
most complete In the Hills, and as its
plans call for power sufficient to operate
a 6W-ton mill. It Is believed that It will
not be long before that capacity will be
reached. Work of development and open
lng the ore shoots Is being carried on at
present with a small force of miners, but
as the ground has been under development
tor several years. It will not be a hara
matter to find sufficient ore to keep the

It which have given excellent returns. The

who do not touch

ones who outlast
those who depend
upon it for that false strength which
afterwards leaves them weaker than
before. It is also true that in the
treatment of disease or in strengthen
ing the constitution, purifying the
blood and rendering the body impervi
ous to the attack of disease germs it is
best to take a safe remedy which is
guaranteed to contain neither alcohol
nor deleterious drugs. An alcoholic
remedy stimulates the appetite and the
brain but usually leaves the body weaker
than before and" most susceptible to out
side germ attacks. That is why Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
the very best blood purifier and spring
tonio that is made. Dr. Pierce does not
believe in alcohol and guarantees that
his "Golden Medical Discovery" for
the blood, stomach and lungs does not
contain a particle of alcohol or other
harmful ingredients. On the other
hand it contains the virtues of medici
nal plants grown in this country. Dr.
Pierce's laboratory where this medicine
is made is open for inspection to the
public. It is most carefully run by
experienced chemists and physicians
Dr. Pierce's large establishment in
Buffalo is one of the most Interesting
places in this country and is well worth
a visit.
A visit iB worth while if only to wit
ness the excellent methods by which
each applicant for aid, whether he be
correspondent or a patient at the hos
pital, receives the care of eminent
specialists in medicine and surgery.

inspected it must be acknowledged by
even the most skeptical that the " patent

many ludicrous mistakes, but It Is on the
right lines. It must not be civilized in
the brute material sense that has been the
manner of Japan's transformation. Mate

8 to Improve Mill.
Superintendent Gray of Wasp No. 2, who
has been absent In the east for several
weeks, has returned to the Hills and he Is
authority for the statement that Improve
ments will soon be made in the mill of that
company by which Its dally capacity will
be at least doubled. As la known, the Wasp
No. 1 plant Is running on the lowest grado
ore treated ln any milling plant ln the
Black Hills, 150 tons a day being put
through it, none ot which will go as good
as ti, but, despite this fact, so economic
ally is the mill managed and so advan
tageously Is Its ore mined that Wasp No.
2 Is one of the best, if not the best, pay
ing propositions that Is being worked In
the Black Hills outside of the large cor
porations. With the proposed Improve
ments made In the mill Its monthly clean
ups should be something big, for there Is
any quantity of this low grade material
lying around on the company's ground, and
It can be handled at ao small a cost that
there would be a splendid profit In a mill
of double the capacity ot the present one.
As It Is, the mine has made five or six peo
ple wealthy since it has been operated.
It Is expected that the Lexington Mill
company will soon start up its mill on
Spruce gulch, the big tunnel which the
company has been running having made
connections with Champion shaft, and it Is
pow possible to work the ore from several
levels and send It by gravity to the mill.
In the tunnel itself there has been a great
deal nf ore exposed, and by connection
with the Champion shaft It ill be possible
to lower a great deal of ore from the upper
levels to be loaded on cars for delivery to
the milling plant. Jrom Its portal to where
It connects with the shaft the tunnel Is
1,660 feet In length, and as It passed eight
feet below the bottom of the shaft, which
Is 275 feet deep, a' raise had to be made. In
driving the Lexington tunnel It passed
through 124 feet of quartzlte and sixty-three
feet of ore. The ore, which is largely
hematite, lies immediately above the quart
zlte, which forms the floor, and la uniform
In the values which It carries, and should
the company he able to make the proper
extraction at Its milling plant It will prove
valuable addition to the ore bodies which
have already been exposed In the ground.
It Is expected to replace the present electrlo
drills, which have never given the best of
satisfaction, with air drills, and to this end
a compressor has been ordered and will
probably be delivered at the ground next
week.

and other necessary machinery, a largo pit
excavated to bedrock, from which a drift
300 feet In length was driven into the
gravel of the bar, which proved to be rich
In placer gold. Several years ago this bar
waa worked (n a primitive way and from it
two men In 1 the course of three months
washed out $5,000, some of the gold being
very coarse. This year the company which
owns the ground will work It on an exten
sive scale and by Improved methods, and
expects to make a nice cleanup by the end
of the season.
Some weeks ago an expert from the east,
said to be ln the employ of a mining com
pany operating In Alaska, visited the dis
trict nnd made a careful examlnatloi of It.
His special attention was given M anti
mony ores, of which a number o'' veins
exist In the district, but on whici very
little work of development has been done,
and It is said that he has expressed nlm
self as being very well pleased with what
he saw and examined. Some of these ores
average better than 126 a ton, and at places
exist ln large quantity.
Osborn Strikes Fine Ore.
On the Osborn group, four miles south
of Sliver City, some fine gold-silver ores
have been struck. Ore from one thirty
foot shaft when tested gave an overnge of
8 gold, ten ounces of silver and 10 per
cent lead, while from other workings on
the same property manganese ore running
from 45 to 87 per cent and carrying gold
values of 13 per ton has been taken.
On the Nugget group of eleven claims,
adjoining tho townslte, much development
work has been done and a number of fine
gold, silver and lead ore bodies have been
uncovered. Ore has been taken from this
property which has run as high as M0
ounces sliver, $2,50 to $9 gold and 14 per cent
lead.
J. C. Sherman A Sons, who own a large
acreage of pjacer ground along Rapid river,
will start work so soon as the high waters
subside, and expect to make a good
cleanup. They have a steam plant on the
ground, which they worked last spring and
summer with excellent returns. They also
own a number of promising quarts claims,
upon which they have done a great deal
wuik, wmcn nil exposed several fine
ore bodies.
One of the promising prospects of the
district Is the Strode fraction, which from
the meagre development that has been done
upon it shows up big, the ore body that Is
being worked on assaying high In gold
values.
On the Day and Michigan lodes much
work has been done, and Its owners have
an excellent prospect, the ore carrying
galena and pyrites and runs about $9 In
gold and twelve ounces of silver to the ton.
On the Alexander group of four claims
some promising ore bodies have been
opened up by shafts, tunnels and open cuts.
Ore from these workings carries gold values
of $40 a ton, besides some silver and lead.
Sam Bryer, owner of the Grandvlew
group of fourteen clulms, had several tons
of ore from this ground treated last sum
mer at the State School of Mines at Rapid
City, and received returns of $39 per ton
gold. It also carries some silver and a fair
per cent of lead.
