resolutions similar to those that have been passed

the hazard to the young and tender students
Alibi for Carter.
Mrs. Sarah Carter, with a quarter of a mil

The grand jury returned an indictment again*
him and he is lying in jail awaiting trial.
Carter has been a professional bondsman. I

the lonely Grosser home. It is claimed that
accomplice was paid to do this. The state wil
attempt to show that Carter forged papers

Pierre, S. D., Dec. 29.The drillers at work
on the location of the piers for the permanent

Pay Taxes Promptly.
The December collection of state taxes shows
better results, than for the corresponding quar
ter last year, tho the returns are slightly less, i
For last year, with a deficiency levy of two ^^^g^f^
mills, the receipts for the quarter were
$23a,."03.43. For this year the total without
such a deficiency levy is $204,450.78. Outside
of the deficiency levy* all but three counties ot
the state show an increase over last year. The
decrease in the three combined is less than $50.
The people of the state are in good financial con
dition and are paying up their taxes. There
has been a large amount of transferring for the
year, and this helps to clear up back taxes.

DR. S. G. SMITH,
Who Lectured Before the North Dakota
Educational Association.
Special to The Journal.
Grand Forks, N. 1)., Dec. 29.The nineteenth
annual session of the North Dakota Educational
association closed with a session of the^generat
association, at which addresses were made by
Professor Webster Merrlfield of the University
of North Dakota and other prominent educators
The new officers of the general association are
P. 8. Berg, Larimore, president A. M. Simp
son, Formau, first vice president Agnes Ber
ilngton, Ardoch, second vice president Dr.
George S. Thomas, Grand Forks, treasurer A. P.
Hollis, Valley City, secretary. Dr. S. G. Smith,
pastor of the St. Paul People's church, deliv
ered a lecture last night, and Cameron Mann,
bishop of the North Dakota Episcopal church, de
livered an address at the closing session today.
Superintendent of Public Instruction W. L.
Stockwell spoke on the retrospect and prospect
of education in the state, and In an interesting
manuer reviewed the history of educational prog
ress. Speaking of the endowment of common
schools and higher institutions, he said that
when the state was admitted there was nothing,
while today the fund approximates JflO,00.000
Of this, between $7,000,000 and $S.OO0.OOO is
the common school fund, the balance belonging
to the various institutions. This fund is all
interest bearing with the exception of the cash
paid in at the recent sales, approximating $500,-
0OO, and probably this, or a larger portion of it,
may have to wait some time for investment,
owing to the fact that the avenues for invest
ment are at present few. This, he hoped, will
be remedied before another year rolls around by
the adoption of a constitutional amendment to be
submitted to the voters at the next general
election.
How School Fund Grows.
The income from these funds is used to support,
he common schools and institutions. Originally,
the Interest and income from the lands and
nes vand forfeitures, was added the 2-mllP state
Aooi tax. This constituted the state tuition
und and was apportioned by the state depart
lent. Beginning with $107.82&r> in 1890. it in
Teased to $443,630.34 in 1S91). After that year
illy the interest and income with fines and for
feitures was appropriated by the state. The
^-mill tax has from this time been apportioned
the counties where it is collected. The state
tuition fund, excluding the 2-mill tax in 1900.
amounted to $181,067.80. in 1904 to $296,811.66
uid in 1905 to $410,160.24.
The income from endowment this year alone
has nearly equaled the combined income from
the endowrmnt and the 2-mill tax of 1899.
Ha said that in all probability the income to
the various state institutions has exceeded $100,-
000 this year, whereas, six years ago it scarcely
amounted to one-tenth of that thus, it may be
seen how much the endowment means to education
in North Dakota, and how carefully it should be
safeguarded. The apportionment of the common
school fund In the past, on the basis of school
census, he said, has resulted In no special effort
to get the children into school, but rather has
placed a premium on non-attendance. He said:
"It is doubtful' whether a more unjust method
of distribution could be devised. The new basis
of apportionment upon attendance of sixty days
during the school year is a vast Improvement,
and while this may not be the ideal basis of ap
portionment, still it means better attendance,
longer terms, better enforcement of the compul
sory attendance law and larger Interest on the
part of school officers in their schools."
In speaking of future education in the state,
he predicted there would be an adjustment of
relations between the institutions of higher
learning which will prevent duplication and even
triplication of work and which will allow each
of these institutions to develop to the highest
point of efficiency in its appointed field.

the comity also showed their admiration for
Poell by electing him county clerk, an office
which pays $1,500 a year. He was unknown
in Hall county, and the rescue was his sole
campaign issue.
The child whose life he saved is Paul Ussary,
the 3-yeur-oId sou of John Ussary, the station
agent at Powell, Neb. In the rescue Poell's
right foot was torn off at the ankle, both arms
were broken and his flesh frightfully torn and
bruised. -"-r-',-
Story of Rescue.
Talking of his thrilling experience, Poell called
attention to the fact that In every account pub
lished It Jiad been stated, that he thought of. his
little brother at home at the time.
"I don't know where the newspapers get
that said Poell. "Tbo I have a little brother
at the old home in Hanover, I just didn't hap
pen to think of him. In fact there wasn't much
time to think. We were rounding a curve at
a terrific rate and on a down grade with a
heavy train. Suddenly the engineer put on the
emergency brake. I looked out ahead. There
was a child on the track.
"The little fellow seemed to have heard us,
and in his childish way appeared to turn partly
around and then toddle off straight ahead of the
engine, as if to run away from us and beat us.
The engineer could not leave his post. I saw
sit once that we could not stop the train in
time. I can still see those little blonde curls
bobbing up and down. Something told me I
must run out, get on the pilot and sweep him
off the track, andwell, that was the only
thing there was to do. In some way I slipped,
got caught just below the cylinder, was dragged
quite a distance and then dropped."
The medal Is given by the interstate com
merce commission, and is the first to be awarded
Under the recent act of congress authorizing the
giving of medals for the saving of life on rail
road trains or tracks.
