The report of the finance committee on
teachers' aalarles presented by Chairman
Stewart recommended a reduction In the
remuneration of the principals. The report
in part was follows ;
"Your committee has made no change In
the salaries ot last year of any of the
teacheri , excepting a few instances , other
than that provided by the established rule
ot this ( board.
"It has been the practice of the board to
pay the principals of schools an additional
salary ; the amount of such addition has
bcen , fscertalnod aa your committee under
stands it , by the following rule : Five del
lars Is added to the regular salary for the
flrst two rooms ot a building , nnd a dollar
per room additional as compensation more
than the regular teacher.
"This rule was established before the
practice obtained of furnishing a substi
tute tor the different principals for
ono halt day , permitting the principal to de
vote the * other half day to the matter ot vis
iting the rooms of her building and exam
ining reports , etc.
"Under the rule , such teacher would not
bo entitled to full pay as teacher , but
would be entitled to one-half pay aa teacher ,
and full pay as a principal. Thus the
district is paying In tbo case ot < slx-room
buildings , $41.50 for the ervlces of the prin
cipal only , and In such instances your com
mittee has allowed In this report the prin
cipal full pay AS teacher , but has allowed
nothing additional as compensation for actIng -
Ing aa principal. And In the case ot a six-
room building , the salary , Instead of being
$74 is $65.
"Your committee Is unalterably opposed to
such a multiplicity of teachers in small
buildings. It would take a strong argument
to convince It that this is not a useless ex
travagance of the people's money and no
benefit whatever to the pupil. In fact a num
ber of comolalnts have been presented to
the committee from parents , based on the
fact that their children are furnished ono
teacher one-bait of the tlmo nnd another
the other half the time , which they deem
unprofitable and unadvlsablo in the case of
young children. The committee believes In
employing good teachers , and In order to
do this Eood salaries must bo paid ; but be
ing opposed to the plan of giving a half
day In these small buildings for the princi
pal to do nothing other than act as princi
pal of these 'buildings ' , your committee feels
that It has been moro than Just when It
places th salary at full pay as teacher , ns
df they had taught the full day.
"Your committee has reduced the salary In
ono or two instances as compared with last
year , as the teacher waa evidently by some
oversight , drawing moro salary than the rule
allowed.
"Your committee has no recommendation
whatever to make aa to the salary ot the
supervisor of grounds and buildings as it
is of the opinion that this offlco has the
virtue of ornament rather than that ot ne
cessity , and Jt is in favor of abolishing the
offlco entirely. If the wisdom of the board
should not concur in this view , the commlt-
tee prefers the board should flx the amount
of the salary that will bo attached to the
office.
"Tho salary of the Janitors are left the
same as they Tvero last year , with the ex
ception that your committee has adddd $5 per
month to the Twentieth Avenue salary ,
making it $70 Instead of $65. Tbls is a very
large .building . and there will bo two ses
sions of kindergarten in it , and your com
mittee .believes . that it is just to thla jan
itor to raise the salary to that amount , as
it only equals the salary of the janitors of
buildings ot like elzo and fixed at $70. "
President 61ms opposed the reduction of
the salaries of the principals , but a motion
to restore them to th same amount as paid
last year was lost and that portion ot the
committee's report adopted. Member
Cooper , of the flnanco committee , moved that
the position of assistant to the principal bo
abolished , but oa being put to the vote ho
tailed to carry his point.
Stewart followed up his report of the
finance committee with a motion that the
office of supervisor of buildings and grounds
bo abolished , but the majority o fthe board
was against him and the motion was lost.
Several changes In the report as to sal
aries were made before It was finally
adopted , among the principal changes be
ing the raising of the salary of Miss Boesche
o ftbo high school faculty from $70 to $80.
The committee had raised it from $70 to $75.
A motion on the part of Member Moore to
raise it to $90 failed to carry. The recom
mendation of the committee that the salary
of Professor Thomas of the high school fac
ulty be raised from $85 to $100 was unani
mously concurred in.
On recommendation of the teachers' com
mittee the following were elected teachers
Miss Nellie. 'Hepford ' , Mlsa Mable Robin
son , "Miss Edyth Thomas , Miss Laura IMc-
Fadden and Miss Edith Joseph , Miss Ethel
Shepard was elected directress of tbo kin
dergarten department.
The additional bond of Treasurer Davis ,
signed by C. R. Hannon , J. D. Edmundson ,
Ernest B. ( Hart nnd John Bennett was sub
mitted and approved. The additional bond
Svas required by the board , owing to the
sale of the new high school bonds. Treas
urer Davis' original bond was In the sum
of $100.000.
Monday , September 11 , was fixed aa the
date , for the opening of the school year
which will bo of thirty-eight weeks with
ono week's vacation at Christmas nnd coo
week's vacation some tlmo In April next.
The resignation of Prof. Y. G. Barnwell
of the High School faculty was received
and accepted.
The bids for the supply of coal for the en
suing' year 'were opened 'but .action was
postponed until next meeting.
Well's Academic Arithmetic and Keeler &
Davis * Studies In English Composition
were adopted for use in the high school on
recommendation of the committee on text
books.
Member Cooper reported that Contractor
Wind was unable to got the material for the
now school at Cut Off on the ground owing
to the site chosen being surrounded by
water. The board decided to go over the
ground this afternoon with a view to selectIng -
Ing some other site if , possible ,
T. A. Brewlck was elected supervisor of
grounds and buildings on the eighth ballot ,
the other candidates being E. R. Fcnda , the
present incumbent and L. R. Joseph. Ills
salary was fixed at $50 per month.

the federal court to make this sale.
The sale of this property Is under fore
closure proceedings on bonds of $1,250,000

ready has paid up all prior liens and now Is
the bolder of the flrst mortgage bonds. The
property to be sold consists of the big
Union depot , all trackage therein , the ter
minals and some valuable railway property

VETERANS TO MEET AT DES MOINES.
Reunion of Civil War Herocn and n.
Complete Reorganization.
DES MOINES , la. , Aug. 21. ( Special
Telegram. ) The veteran members of the
Union Veterans' Union have been coming
Into the city on all trains today and the re
union has really begun although the official
opening is tomorrow. The Union will bo
reorganized during the national encamp
ment now being held here and the organi
zation will bo entirely remodeled. Com-
mander-ln-Chtef Dyrenforth is the author
ity for Ihls statement. The constitution
and by-laws will foe changed and then the
name of the association will ibe changed and
it will be knowntina "The Order of Union
Battlemen. " This 'Important ' change has
been decided upon 'by a. committee appointed
at the last national encampment held at
Rock Island. The idea of changing the or
ganization Is to put more power in tbo
national body so that It can better direct
tbo state organizations. The change will
make it more of a military body. The oaraa
is for the purpose of distinctly expressing
the character of the membership as all
members must be battlemen and not these
vho served In the army tout never saw the
ilrlng line. ,

Chairman Weeks , of the populist state
central committee , arrived In the city today
to make arrangements for the middle-of-
the-road populist state convention to beheld
held here on the 30th. He said :
"Our convention will take a radical po
sition on trusto. While we are not fighting
capital , wo do favor Us control as relates
to many fog ! Industries. We look at trusts
as part of the growth of the commercial
Interests of this country , among them the
railroads , water works , electric lights and
other enterprises which require lota of
money to operate them. Neither the re
publicans or democrats In their state con
ventions eald a word about how to abolish
trusts or what to put in their places. The
populists will not fall down like they did ,
but will take a solid stand , and when they
speak the people will 'know where they are
at:1" :
He says that , the alleged populist con
vention held In connection with the demo
cratic etate convention a week ag < j was not
ft populist convention at all.
WRECK O.V T1IE NORTHWESTERN.
Tvro EnRlnei ) DeniuIlNlieil nml nil EII-
Klnccr Iluilly HrnlHeil.
FORT DODQE , la. , Aug. 21. ( Special
Telegram , ) A serious head-end collision
occurred on the Northwestern ono mile east
of Dayton , a little after 12 o'clock Sunday
morning , between the east and westbound
freight trains and as a result the two en
gines , Nos. 33 nncl 30 , are entirely demol
ished and a third englno Is badly hurt.
The -wreck occurred through some mis
understanding of orders. There Is a down
grade cast of Dayton and It always requires
two engines to pull up the westbound
freight and this was the case Sunday morn
ing , The eastbound freight had received
orders to wait for the westbound nt Dayton.
The westbound freight had pulled out of
Stratford when they found that they had
not sufficient water supply and pulled
back into Stratford to replenish the supply.
In the meantimeitho train at Dayton re
ceived orders to pull out and start down
the hill , whllo the train at Stratford had not
been notified of the change. The two trains
met about one mile ast of Dayton , tbo
westbound train with the double header
going up the hill at about seven miles an
hour and the eaetbound train covering the
ground at about twenty miles an hour when
tbo collision occurred.
The trainmen saw the situation In time
and all jumped , none receiving any serious
Injury , with the exception of the engineer
Helllngs , of the eastbound train , who was
badly bruised. There was a severe storm at
the tlmo so that the extent of the damage
could not foe determined at once.
Tbo two front engines were completely
telescoped and destroyed. All that was left
of them was a confused mass of Iron rods
and beams. The second engineer on the
westbound train was also badly ( njured.
The damage to the freight cars was slight ,
some of the grain cars being broken open
and the grain scattered along the track.
The Northwestern is making a vigorous ef
fort to fix the responsibility of the wreck
and a meeting was called at Lake City for

CRIPPLE CHECK , Colo. . Aug. 21. Flro
lias utterly destroyed the business portion
of the city of Victor , causing a loss esti
mated nt 12,000,000. Beginning shortly after
noon , the flro raged until evening , consum
ing everything In Us way. It had Us origin ,
It to thought , Jn the Merchants' cafe , adJoining -
Joining the Dank of Victor on the corner of
Third street and Victor avenue. A strong
wind from the couth tanned the names and
In a few minutes all the surrounding houses
were afire.
Help was summoned from Crlpplo Creek ,
but the town had been built In the early
days of the cainp and w 3 of plno timber for
the most part and burned like tinder. Ef
forts \vcro made to stop the progress of the
flames by blowing up buildings In their
path by means of dynamite , and all after
noon the hills have echoed with the explo
sions , but the effort vas In vain.
The flro claimed the Dank of Victor , the
prGtofllco on the corner of the street , crossed
Third street and followed the row of blocks
between Third and Fourth streets to the
north , taking the Victor Banking company ,
the Western Union Telegraph company's
ofllco and the offlco of the Colorado Tele
phone company , the Hotel Victor on the op
posite sldo of Fourth street and the three
great shaft houses of the Gold Coin Mining
company and Its ere bins , among the largest
In the Crlpplo Creek district.
From there the flames were swept nortb-
ward by the half hurricane hlch was blow
ing and never stopped until they had taken
the entire Florence & Crlpplo Creek depot
and the flno now depot of the Midland Term
inal road at the head of Fourth street. All
the buildings between thcso arc a total loss
the flames tvcro so rauld In tholr progress
that nothing could bo saved.
Flight of the Citizen * .
The scones of the great Cripple Creek con
flagration were duplicated. Hurrying toeforo
the roaring flames went men , women and
children , carrying what they could snatch
from the flames , racing for their lives. The
crash o fbulldlngs torn asunder by dyn-
amlto and the crackle of the flames as they
consumed the dry buildings hastened their
flight and the pall of smoke added a terror
to the spectacle. A special train -was placed
nt the command of the city by the Florence
& Cripple Creek railroad , and three com
panies of firemen , -with apparatus , -were
rushed to the scene. They -worked all af
ternoon in a vain endeavor to stay the
march of the flames.
The residence portion of the city has suf
fered comparatively llttlo , but the business
portion i paralyzed and suffering Is bound
to follow. The turned area may bo thor
oughly designated as the space between the
head of North street and Victor avenue , ex
tending from.tha Gold Coin mlno buildings
on the west to a point near Second street
and down Third street almost to Diamond
avenue. It is thought at this hour (6 ( p. m. )
that the flro can bo prevented from spreadIng -
Ing any farther. The loss has now reached
$2,000,000.
The first house- was built in Victor In
OctoJbor , 1893. In July of the following year
the city -was Incorporated , and elx years
later it contained 10,000 people. That is
about the population now.

Men who fro out fishing m nn open boat
In the tuiilst of n bHmUtifr storm and enjoy
it , must be strong and healthy nud are
pretty sure to live to n ripe old ape. Un
fortunately , the r Mi ntid hurry of modem
business life will not permit the average
man to take frequent outdoor exercise.
In Hcu of a Hie spent partly in the woods
and on the water , n man must find romc
kind of medicine to tone tip and invigorate
him and incite the vital orgatu of his body
to the faithful performance of their normal
functions. Dr. Plerce's Golden Medical
Discovery { > the only thoroughly effective
medicine for this purpose. Its principal
action is upon the organs that feed the
blood , the stomach , the large intestines and ,
the liver. It facilitates the flow of the di
gestive juices in the stomach and the
production of healthy chyle in large quan
tities in the large intestines. It invigorates
the liver and purifici ami enriches tha
blood. When the blood is rich and pure
the old , inert tissues throughout the body
are torn down and replaced by new and
healthy flesh tissues nnd nerve fibers. If a
man's ' blood is filled , with the rich , purt
elements of health , he can get along with a
scanty amount of exercise. Disease germ *
can gain no foothold in his system.

I had more hemorrhages. I took tweuty-tue or
thirty bottles of ineillciucn , but continued to have
spells of bleeding. I commenced talcing Dr.
Tierce's Golden Medical DUcovery and Dr.
Sncc's Crttarrh Remedy. I u d eight bottles
and have been able to do nny kind of labor for
more than twelve mouths. 1 owe my life to Dr.
