A MOST UNWlSE LAW.

The school law passed at this ses-
sion of the Legislature makes a
radical change IN the manner of ap-
portion'ng the public school funds.
Heretofore so scholars or less con-
stituted one district, district with
only 10 scholars-like Arco, for in.
stance-getting as much as one
having so scholars. This was bad
enough; hut the new law makes the
basis of distribution much more un-
equal, by dividing one half Of the
funds equally among all the districts,
Irrespective of the number of school
children contained in the district. A
district like Arco with 10 children,

ONE WAY TO OVERCOME AN UN.
JUSr LAW.

There is a way in which the injust>
ice Of the new school law could be
partly overcome, as far as HALEY is
concerned. And that is by dividing
it into districts. We could have four
districts in this town, just as well as
not. Each district could occupy one
room Of the public schoolhouse, and
be divided on lines to be agreed upon
by the people. In this way we would
secure the rate for four districts in.
stead Of one.
Nothing in the law prohibits this
After prescribing the mode of organ
izing new districts, which is known to
rybody, these provisos are inse rted:
Provided, further, Tina. no district
shall be hereafter divided for the pur>
pose Of forming a new district, unless
1T contain an area OF more than nine
square miles; nor shall a district be
divided if by SO doing the remainder
of the district shall be found to con.
tain less than Is persons Of school
age. Provided. also, That no incor-
poratrd city or town shall! hereafter be
divided into two or more districts.
HALEY not being an incorporated
town, the second provso does not ap.
ply to US; neither is ket.hum incor-
porated.
1t would therefore be an easv mat
ter to divide these two districts with
out violating the law.
the law.
But would it be advisable to divide
the districts Of ketchum and Haley?
Or is it better to await the next SEES
sion of the Legislature and end.avor
to have the law amended il accord
ance with the spirit Of the constitution
and the dictates of common sense?
These questions are for tho people
to discuss and decide. The columns
of the TINES are open to any one for
this purpose, free of charge.

A Woman Murdered and Her Body
Horribly Mutiiated.

BERLIN, Oct. 25.-This city has been
treated to a Jack-the-R Ripper sensation.
The horribly mutilated body of an aban-
doned woman was found 1T her lodgings
at a squalid quarter of the town. The
woman was seen TO enter the house with
man at o'clock this morning, and within
ten minutes he ran out. The woman was
found on the floor fully dressed, with her
throat and abdomen cut open. Her name
was Hedwig Nitsche. Portions of the
woman's body were cut off and carried
away by the brutal murderer. Blood was
spattered all over the ceiling and walls of
the room, and the murder seems to have
been the work of mailman. Several sus-
poets have been arrested during the day,
but had 10 be released for lack of proof
The body of the woman was nearly
severed and ripped from the neck down
wards. II seems another woman tried TO
enter the room before the awful crime was
committed. She attempted 10 disturb the
assailant. who suddenly rushed out,
pushing aside several who were in his way.
The inmates Of the house were awakened
By screams, and the unknown man was
hoily pursued. but succeeded in making
his escape. There have been many other
crimes. including suicides, within the past
ten days IN the lower quarter of the city.

Cburcb Dedicated at Centralia.

CENrRALIA, Oct. 25.-fspecial. To-day
was red letter day in the annals of the
First Baptist society of Centralia. Its
new church edtice was dedicated with i'm
posing ceremonies. All the evangelical
ministers of the city were present on the
platform. The church was handsomely
decorated with flowers and evergreens.
large choir rendered the music selected
for the occasion with fine effect. The dedi-
cation sermon was preached by Rev. ID. d.
Proper, general missionary. Before the
dedication prayer was offered the sum of
$500 was raised by subscription to pay off
the unprovided for debt against the church
and to seat it. The cost OF the edltice and
lot was $7,5S7, and the members OF the
First Baptist society have every reason to
be proud of their new sanctuary.

The Question to BE Decided for Port
Angeles Tomorrow.

PoRT ANGELES, Wash, Oct. 25.-TSpe-
cial. The case To test the legality of the
towns incorporation was called for trial
yesterday before Judge McClinton.
The first question which arose was
whether the prosecution rested upon the
county attorney or attorneys employed by
the relator, +. B. Mastick. The Judge de-
cided that the prosecuting attorney only
could conduct the case for the state
Judge Lane was employed by Mr.. Mastick,
but owing to sickness is unable to he pres
ent. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Hatch
asked a continuance to enable him to
study the case, as he has not given il any
thought. The defense, represented by
Wilson and Bush, of this city. assisted bv
an attorney from Seattle, objected to a
continuance. In the course of the discus
sion of this point the defense created a
sensation by declaring that the suit was
not brought in good faith but that it was a
hlackmaiIing scheme from beginning TO
end; that IL could produce two reputable
citizens who would swear that a proposi-
tion had been made 10 them to compro-
mise the case; that for 5000 the prose
cUtion would guarantee any verdict de-
sired
Judge McClinton was highly indignant,
and stated ne would make an order tor a
thorough investigation. The case was
then continued to 9 a. m. Tuesday. The
people are much pleased that the matter
is soon to be decided and the general opin-
ion is that the city will win the case.
