Answer-l made no such assertion; l said
that there was d change, whether of feeling or

CAUSED GREAT CHANGE;
many who had before been lukewarm became
enthused; indirectly think Donnelly's speech
did the work you suggest, in that the speech
and scene at the meeting awakened the
friends of Washburn to the fact that
the election was not boys play; from
tha1 time until the polls closed an immense
amount OF work was done-more than ever
witnessed before in the same time; numerous

serious runaway took place on st.. Peter
street yesterday afternoon, by which Patrick
Larkin, the well-knswn expressman, sustained
injuries that resulted in almost immediate
death. About o'clock farmers team, at
tached to cumbersome wagon, was observed
to dash around the corner of st. Peter and
Exchange streets, going north at frightful
rate of speed on the first named thoroughfare.
Midway between Exchange and Tenth streets,
on St. Peter, Mr.. Larkin was dri wing totally
unconscious of his peril, when the runaway
team colllded with his wagon. causing shock
that threw him backward into the bed of the
wagon. The suddenness and violence of the
shock produced internal injuries, from the
effects of which he almost Instantly expired.
The accident occurred almost in front Of Mr..
Timme's store, that gentleman being an eye
witness of the accident.
The expiring man was removed to barber
shop in the immediate vicinity of where the
accident occurred, and DR.. Abbott was at once
summoned, the last gasp having taken place,
however. before his arrival. the man being
dead, in fact, before reaching the shop.
difference of opinion exists concerning the
precise manner in which the accident took
place, one theory being, that OBJ
deavored to- turn OUT but before
succeeding the wagons collided transversely,
the farmers team almost going completely
over the express wagon. but certain it is that
death was almost instantly caused by the
shock, there being no trace of outward injury.
Coroner Stein was summoned and at once
proceeded to empanel jury, whose labors
were necessarily deferred on account of the ab-
sence OF the farmer " no owned the team, who
disappeared with his horses Immediately after
the accident.
The owner of the team is supposed to be a
man residing on the old Minneapolis road,
Wilisbacker, and at the time of the accident he
was in the stole of Dominick Bartlett, corner
of St. Peter and Exchange streets.
The remains were viewed by the jury, fol-
lowing which they were removed to his late
home on Josette near Rondo street. Deceased
leaves wife and three four children, and
was regarded by those .ho knew him as an
upright, conscientious and Industrious citizen.

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 30.-The State board of
text book commissioners created by the gen.
eral laws of 1878, submitted report to the leg
lslature to-day. The commission was appoint
ed to inquire into the facts relating to the uni
formity. number and cost of text books used
in the public schools Of Wisconsin, and also to
inquire and determine whether any of the pro-
posed systems of spelling reform before the
public were feasible and could be properly and
expediently adopted in the schools of this
State. Ihe commission was composed of five
prominent and influential citizens, az follows
W. e. Whtford, superintendent of public in
sJruction; X. b. Davis, OF Dane county; Geo,
Il. Paul, of Milwaukee coRnty; Geo. S. Albee.
or MlnRebago county, and John B. Quinby, of
Sauk county.
Inc commissioners report in the form of
bill for consideration OF the legislature, and
although they do not claim it is thoroughly di-
gested, they believe it contains features worthy
OF adoption. It aims, in brief, t. encourage
uniformity without arbitrary enforcement; to
ensure to the people advantages which belong
to wholesale purchaser; to introduce competi-
tlon among book publishers who desire to COM
pete for the furoishing Of text books to the
people of the State, and to afford home capital
and home talent an opportunity to enter the
contest on equal terms with outside pub
fishers and authors
The superintendent of public instruction and
the presidents of the normal schools are consti-
tuted supervising school book commission.
The section of the commissioners report
which will, however, be of most general
interest outside the State, is that having
reference to spelling reform, question also
entrusted to their Investigation. The report
of the beard thereon was written by Senator
Paul. and is an ably written and co1n prehensive
treatise on the subject. The report recon-
mends all practicable legislation to that end ;
alleges the power and duty of the State thus
to promote economy and efficiency in public
education; exhibits the deficiencies in the ex-
listing crthography; recapitu'a 'ates and COM
mends the efforts for reform abroad; opposes
compromises of principle on the ground of
expediency in proposed systems of reform,
and suggests The introduction of changes in
orthography whenever the schools or legis ative
authorities shall concur in acceptable amend
ments, by means of dictionaries. with alterna-
tive spelling introduced in the public schools
by legislative sanction.
