ATTEMPTED WIFE MURDER.

James MCGOWAN Cuts His Wife at sher-
Special to the Gazette.
SHERMAN, TEX, Feb. 14.-One OF the
most desperate attempts at wife murder
ever recorded ia the county occurred at
the Blanchard hotel in this city about
noon, the facts concerning which are as
follows: Mrs. L. j. Norton owns and
operates the Blanchard hotel and with
her lives her son-in law, James MCGOWAN,
and his family and also two daughters,
one of them Mrs. M. E. Stevens and the
other Miss Lillian Norton. MCGOWAN has
been for several years in the employ OF
the street car line, and recently as brake
man on the st. Louis, Arkansas and Texas
Railway. Last night he Quarreled with
his wife about some family matters, and
being in desperate mood threatened to
kill their child by poisoning it.,
simply to obtain revenge for the
little differences between himself
and wife. To-day he entered his
wife's room snd laying hold Of her made
8 desperate effort to kill her by cutting
her throat with large pruning knife.
Mrs. MCGOWAN screamed, and her mother
anu 6lSlcIb IhH W uoE uSolsL6HCS anu
took hold Of the desperate man, who
turned his knife toward them, cutting
each one Of them severely. Several men
boarding in the house ran to the rescue,
and their timely assistance probably
saved the lives of one or more of the
women. MCGOWAN was taken in charge
by the officers and lodged in jail to await
trial on charge of assault to murder.
The wounds received by Mrs. MCGOWAN
about her throat and face are quite seri-
Gus though not necessarily fatal. Those
received by her sisters were severe cuts
about the arms and body. Mrs. Norton
purchased and has been operating the
Blanchard house since LAST summer, and
states that she has had to maintain his
family most Of the time and that Nc
Cowan's failure to provide for them WAS
the cause Of the quarrel which gave rise
TO the unfortunate occurrence.

California has some wise provisions in its system
of education. We quote Special Act Z: ''Fe-
males employed in the public schools of this state
shall in all cases receive the compensation as
is allowed to male teachers for like services, when
holding the same grade certificates" Provision
is made in the various high schools in the cities
for the free preparation of students for the several
colleges of the free state university, so that any
parent who can feed, clothe and provide books,
may place his son or daughter in the lowest pri-
mary grade and graduate him or her from the uni
versity without any other expense.
Among the natural wonders of California are the
Yosemite, geysers, and big trees, whilst the mild
ness of the climate and wealth of resources are
winning many to locate within her borders.

A REMEDY FOR ILLITERACY.

Notwithstanding the faithful teachings of the
thousands of instructors throughout our country,
school reports and statistics show the startling
fact that illiteracy is actually increasing in the
United States. The superintendent of the schools
of New York state report that the population is in
creasing out of proportion with the school attend
anceZ This is indeed sad showing, and would
seem to indicate that the machinery of our educa-
tonal facilities is insufficient to meet the demands
of the mighty influx of population from foreign
countries, and as the number of persons of school
age are far in advance of the number of pupils en-
rolled, it would also indicate that thousands are
not taking advantage of the facilities offered for
obtaining an education.
1t is reasonable to suppose that large majority
of these children outside of the schools are the off
spring of the foreign element which comes pouring
in each year like mighty deluge upon us. Some
remedy ought to be devised or national degeneracy
will eventually ensue. Compulsory measures do
not always work successfully or remedy the evil.
1t is disastrous to create public sentiment that
looks upon going to school as an unpleasant re-
ouirement of the state. The advocates of manual
training believe that when children are taught to
do, as well as to study, they will become fonder of
going to school, more anxious to acquire an edu-
cation.
1t stands to reason that if the pupils are to love
the schools, it should be made pleasant as well as
advantageous for them to do so. Kindergartens
introduced into the public schools, especially in
the very large cities, would prove an inducement
at the outset, the children soon learning to think
of school as place of entertainment and enjoy
mpnt while the parents would regard them as
safe refuge for their little ones Thus would it
prove threefold blessing to the children of the
poor. First, by keeping them from the vicious
influences of the street; second by preparing
their minds for the study and discipline which is
to follow and inducing the habit of daily attend
ance upon school; third, and not least, as viewed
from humane standpoint would it prove bless
ing to those parents who are obliged to leave their
homes to earn the daily food for themselves and
their little ones.
