The FL curing Business.

The following resume of the Touring
business for the past week is supplied by
the Northwestern Miller:
Our water power for the first half of the
week has been much improved over prev
ious weeks, and the -four production will
be materially increased. Twenty-one
mills are in operation, running at from
three-quarters to four-fifths full capacity,
and the -four production for the week will
average about 900 barrels per day-pos-
sibly more if the stage of water keeps up.
The daily production last week was 1900
barrels. There is no exception to the rule
that all mill owners are making the
greatest amount of flour they can with
the power at their disposal, it being evil
dent that the production would rise to TO-
600 barrels per day or over with the neces
sary water power.
The stock of wheat in store in the ele-
vators Cncluding the transfer) and mills
of the city on Tuesday, was about 1867
600 bushels, against 1,250,000 bushels last
week. At st. Paul there were 10000
bushels, against 1860 bushels last week,
and at Duluth 1.646,300 bushels, against
1,118,O00 bushels the previous week.

4 CRUSHED SKULL.

Bob Weeks assaults Dcce Shields scith a
Fatal ROlsad-The Assassin In Custody
and the Occupants of the Notorious
Ranch Brought to Justice.
For two years the notorious character
known as Mother Griffin" has continued
to violate the law, and has repeatedly been
before the police courts and fined heavily
for her crimes and misdemeanors. Her
shebang, which is called the Blue Star, on
North Second street, is probably the vilsst
spot in all Minneapolis, and the authori-
ties have for months been endeavoring to
close it up effectually. The mayor revoked
her saloon license, believing that would
remedy the evil, but that fell partially
short of the desired result. This sink of
iniquity has continued the common resort
of all sorts of dissolute characters.
"Mother Griffin" is the wife of b. A.
Weeks. At about three O'clock yesterday
morning the husband came home and found
Dave Shields occupying the place which
he supp. sed belonged by virtue Of his mar
rage contract to himself. Becoming fired
with jealousy he seized Ratchet and
dealt the lascivious Dave a terrible
blow upon the head, telling him
insenslbIe to the floor. The
police being notified, the wounded
man was removed to the police station,
where surgeon examined the wound and
fonnd the skull had been crushed, and the
man probably fatally injured.
Weeks, together with "Mother Griffin"
and all the occupants CT the low bagnio
were arrested. Yesterday they were ar
raigned before Judge Bailey. Weeks was
charged with an assault with
a dangerous weapon. The preliminary
examination was continued until next
Wednesday and in default of bonds in the
sum OF $1,000 was .relegated to the con-
fines of the county jail.
Mother Griffin was charged with being
the mistress Of a house of ill-fame. She
pleaded not guilty, but the proofs we're
ample, and she paid a fine of $50 and
costs.
Belle Wyman, Jennie Bordman, Nellie
Rice and Nellie Patterson each plead
guilty to the charge of occupying apart
ments in house of 1ll-fame, and paid the
usual fines of $40 and costs respectively.
Thomas Ruske and James Collins, the two
men fosnd in the den each paid fine in
$40 and costs for the ofense.
1t is now hoped the den will be closed.

EDUCATION.
The Henmepin County Schools - Capt.
SneiIIt's annual Report.

The Hensepin County Schools - Capt
SaeiIIt's annual Report.
G. w. Smith, the superintendent Of
schools of Hennepin county, has com.
pleted his annual report, from which The
following extracts are given:
ITO carry on certain reforms referred
to in previous reports, and to obtain prop
er results, special attention has beer
called to the necessity of apportioning
fairly the time allotted to study and reel
tation, of properly classifying pupils, and
perfecting the plans embodied in the
graded system. The principal difficulty
in carrying out graded system is found
in the fact that many teachers have been
unaccustomed to follow we'll defined plans
of work in the management of rura
schools; but as soon as they acquire ar
intelligent appreciation of the work to be
done, the difficulties and embarrassments
disappear, and their confidence in the sys
en- is not only undated, but strengthened,
by the experience of the year just closed
The teachers during the year have rem
dered excellent service, with but few ex-
ceptiens, and the unemployment of the
entire corps would be advantageous; but
constant changes IN the force are men
toned as a cause for anxiety for the fu-
ture.
HIGHER EDUCATION.
It cannot be denied that the prese nj
lack of provision in the rural school system
for the prosecution of advanced studies
lnflicts severe injury on these schools as
whole, obstructing advancement and
disheartenipg meritorious and ambitious
students. The remedy for this evil can
be found only in placing within the reach
of all pupils-rich and poor alike-the
advantages of thorough high school in
struction. Nor is such remedy impra c.
ticable. The principle has already been es-
tablished that the state has right to en-
courage and foster the establish
meet of schools for higher instruction.
About $4,000 is annually appropriated to
this end out of funds derived from gen.
eral taxation, and is distributed among
a number of cities and incorporated vii
lagos, each receiving $500 per annum.
The plan has done much toward strength
ening the higher and stimulating the low
or grades in localities favored by the bene-
faction, and should be extended to rural
schools, so as to bringit within the power
of the people remote from cities to in
