THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Again the doors of the public
schools are open, and the boys
and girls, after their summer
vacation, will resume their
studies, cultivating their minds
and preparing for the important
duties of American citizenship.
The public school system of the
United States is the greatest
thing in the world today. It has
defects, of course. There is just
criticism of the educational
"fads" that have been introduced
in some of the schools, but these
false growths will in time be re
moved and better methods sub
stituted. Yet, despite the little
imperfections, our public school
system as a whole is the best in
the world and steadily advancing.
There is no one thing that has
so greatly contributed to the ad
vancement of the people of this
country in every way as the pub
lic school system. It has been
allpowerful in the manufacture
of American citizens from the
sons and daughters of the mil
lions immigrants who have
landed upon our shores, and by
the eduoataion of the new gener
ation it has added to the wealth
of the nation and the well-being
of society.Duluth Herald.
RETROGRADING CUBA.
It now appears that the alleged
new plague which is causing
many deaths in Cuba is nothing
else than .yellow fever, and that
it has been described as a new
plague by the patriotic Cuban
physicians for the reason that
the Plartt amendment contains a
clause authorizing 'intervention
by the United Statos'in case of
an outbreak of yellow fever on
the island. Cuba has thoroughly
cleaned up under the administra
tion of Gen. Wood. Since his
departure sanitary precautions
have "been neglected, and it is
growing to be as dirty and as un
healthiul as it used to be. With
the death rate of the island run
ning up and its finances running
down, the conditions contemplat
ed wlien the Piatt amendment
was framed and adopted will be
in full blast. It will remain for
the Congress of the United States
to decide what, under the cir
cumstances, is the best course
for our government to pursue.
VATICAN MONEY IVMSSING.
Treasury of the Propaganda Reported
to Be $20,000 Short.
Rome, Sept. 15.The-Tribuna says:
"It is insistently rumored that the dis
covery was made recently that a
sum of money was missing from the
treasury of the propaganda. Pope
Pius1
ordered that an inquiry into the
matter he made by Cardinal Delia
tVolpe, prefect of economy of the
propaganda', who, according to the re
ports, found $20,000 to be missing."
TKAiN GOES INTO DITCH.
Passenger Coach Is Turned Upside
Drv 'i.
Dassel, Minn., Sept. 15. A "fish"
car which had been attached to a
Great Northern passenger train from
Winnipeg left the tracks near here
yesterday morning and caused a wreck
in which one man vss killed and
ahout forty were more or iess seri
ously injured.
When the train left Winnipeg tho
fish csir, which was a refrigerator car,
"was placed in the i iar of the mail
coach. After the train has passed
Darwin at 0:20 yesterday morning the
fish car left the rails and the coupling
broke, allowing the engine and mail
car to go ahead. The smoker, which
was ia the rear of the fish car,
was|
thrown to the side of the track in col
lision with the fish car. both cars,
however, remaining upright. A a
coacli, crowded with pass Qge.o,
tumbled down a twelve-foot emoank
ment and landed bottom side up.
Th passengers were tossed aheu
the coach in a heap with the backs of
me seacs, "wnicn Drone loose tnc
lamps and broken windows. Many of
the occupants of the coach w^rp able
to crawl out of fho windows, but oth
ers had to be carried out.
In clearing the tracks, which took
seven hours, the mangled body of an
unidentified man, with both legs sev
ered .below the knee and the head i
severed from the trunk, was found
under one of the coaches. It is
thought that he was either stealing a I
ride on the blind baggage or had been
riding on the brake beams.
ST. PAUL IS SOAKED.
Heaviest Rainstorm in Eleven Years
Strikes the City.
St. Paul, Sept. 15.-The rainstorm
which visited St. Paul Friday night
and Saturday morning was the worst
in eleven years, and its record was ex
ceeded only once in the history of the
city. During the night 5.2 inches of
rain fell. The torrent crippled rail
way traffic to and from St. Paul, the
trains on almost all the lines being
several hours late, and some of them
were abandoned. The street car ser
vice was interrupted, and it became
necessary to abandon attempts at run
ning cars on some of the lines
Streets, sewers and even water mains
were injured in the washouts on some
of the streets of the city.
SINKS IN ST. CROIX.
Engineer Ferguson Goes Down With
the Ve3S2l.
Stillwater, Minn., Sept. 15. The
Park Bluff, a steamer acting as bow
boat of the Glcnmont, one of the Van
Sant company's boats, sprung aleak
while coming up Lake St. Croix and
sank near South Stilfwater in nearly
forty feet of water. Five men were
asleep in the bunks of the Park Bluff
when it was noticed that she was sink
ing, and all of tnem managed to escape
with the exception of James Ferguson
of La Crosse, engineer of the boat,
who was unable to get out. of the en
gine room, and he went down with the
boat.
LIFE SAVED DY CALF.
Sucks Rattlesnake's Poison From a
Man's Finger.
Pepin, Wis.. Sept. 15.Quick ffffhk
ing and a sucking calf saved Harvey
Clark's life when he was bitten by a
rattlor. He stooped to pick up some
thing in the brush and felt a prick in
the finger and there was the snake
almost under foot. Clark has a half
weaned calf that is learning to drirnk
by sucking his finder, and he jumped
for the calf in a jiffy with his finger
out. The calf sucked dutifully, and
with subsequent whisky treatment Mr.
Clark recovered unharmed. The calf
is as frisky as ever.
SUICIDE IN JAIL.
Had Murdered His Wife and His
Mother-in-Law.
Prairie du Chieu, Wis., Sept. 15.A
telephone message from Dodgeville
says that George Brandt, who con
fessed to having murdered his di
vorced wife and his mother-in-law.
Mrs. Mary Murphy, at Wyoming last
Tuesday night, hanged himself in the
Iowa county iil at Dodgeville. He
was found hanging by his suspenders
in his cell by jailors.
Comfortable Balance
Pierre, S. D.. Sept. 15.The figures
in the office of the state auditor of
warrants issued and cash received for
the year" ending June .i las? show
that the receipts of the state were
$976,850.29, and the disbursements
$915,061.91, leaving a balance at that
time of $61,788.38. The same author
ity shows that the leans of the perma
nent school fund for the year ending
for that date amounted to $1,379,789,
while for tho previous year the total
loans animated to $577,355.
Where to Apply.
"Dear Miss Scrubbins," wrote the
wise mother to her son's teacher, "if
you want an excuse for Willie's ab
sence from school, ask him for one.
He's the best boy for excuses that
lives. He gives them to me a dozen
times a day. He can give an excuse
for anything that happens, whether
it's a rip in his trousers or a fight with
a neighbor's \oy. As long as you have
him in your room, I do not see why it
should be necessary to apply to me
for an excuse at all."
Much Red Tape Over a Cent.
The postmaster at Eloise, Fla., being
short one cent in his cash at his last
settlement with the government, made
up the deficiency out of his own pock
et but in checking his accounts tho
auditor for the post office department
found an arithmetical error whereby
Uncle Sam had been overpaid to the
extent of a cent. Thereupon the de
partment sent the postmaster a draft
i*or one cent, which he has just re
ceived.
The Traveled Widow.
The Sunday school superintendent
was quizzing a class of small girls the
other day. "And what was 'the widow's
I cruse?' he asked. There was a mo
nient's silence then a little hand went
up timidly. "Please, sir," said the
youngster, "the widow was one of the
i people that went with Noah in his
I yacht."
She Got Ahead of Him.
Sally GayDid he kiss you?" Dolly
SwiftYes, but, oh! 1 was so morti
fied. I kissed him first. Sally Gay
Goodness! What made you do that?
Dolly SwiftWhy, you see. I thought
lie was going to kiss me a moment or
I two before he really did, and I acci
1 iantall got ahead of him.

Motor cars as yet. show no signs of
being used in Portugal. Last year only
twenty were imported, of winch
