The meeting at which New Ulm was

to arrange for a reception of the guests.
Among the other business transacted,
Rev. Meske was placed on the Carleton

Gen. j. H. Baker was nominated by
the Democrats of Blue Earth county for
the Legislature and has accepted. This
adds one more blot to the record of a

The County Schools,


Superintendent Davis transmitted his
annual report to the State superintend-
ent this week and in looking over the
document, which is a bulky one, we
thought possibly a few of the facts and
figures given would be Of interest,
There are three Indepei dent school dis
tricts in the county, with total enroll
ment Of 1878 and an average attendance.
for the year of 8S2. We have seventy
five common schools with an rollment
of s555 and5an average Attendance Of
-1725. In the Independents districts there.
aressix male and eighteenfemaletea
While the common schools employ thir-
ty-six male and forty female instructors.
The average wages paid in Independent
districts was sSS6.58 per month for male
teachers and S43.5577 for female teachers
while in the common schools the ayera-
ges were $59.63 and $32.45 respectively.
The 1878 pupils in Independent districts
were instructed and the three schools
maintained at total cost of $39,436
while the 1856 pupils of the seventy five
common schools were instructed at to-
tai cost Of $40,205. The Independent
districts have property valued at $1O3,-
900 which includes site, building, furni-
ture ETC., while the same items foot up a
credit Of $33, 1900 in the common schools.
There are II frame and 4 brick school
houses outside the Independent districts
and a total Indebtedness Of $59,SSS of
which amount the Independent districts
are charged with $5s,OOo. The taxlevy
is Is mills in the independent and only
4 mills.in the country
A very stricking fact brought out by
the report is that while in country dis
triets there are 1858 children between
the ages Of s ssand II years only 1850 Of
theseshav complied with the compulsory
educational law While the parents and
guardians Of 1908 children between those
ages have neglectedto send them to
school sixty days during the year. This
is a bad showing and it proves that
.schoolsboards are woefully neglecting
their duties in the common schools. It
should be borne in mind that they have
the whole civil power of the state back
of them in that matter and also that it
is of the utmost consequence that these
1903 children be placed in school. Here
in in Sleepy Eye the school board are also
neglecting this matter and the report
shows that there are twenty-five children
between the ages mentioned who do not
OF who did not attend school last year,
the figures being 2s5 children between
s and 16 in this district and only $50 of
them enrolled. Sleepy Eye Dispatch.

Although it is situated on the hill some
distance from the business part, yet its

Chicago Herald; The most remark
able OF all the antediluvian human
skeletons as yet unearthed three just
discovered near Mentone may be
found to lie. Just east of and above
the health resort of Mentone the rail
road passes through tunnel. The
western exit OF the tunnel is on French
soil, the eastern on Italian soil. Near
the latter there are number OF quar-
ries, in one of which the entrance to a
cave was uncovered a few weeks ago.
The cave was filled with black earth,
OF kind not known at present in the
neighborhood.
A few feet beneath the surface three
skelet ons were found lying close to-
gether, one male and two female.
They are almost perfect, but few bones
being injured or lost. The male skele-
ton, without the head, which was
broken in getting out, measures eight
feet, which would be, with the head,
upward OF nine feet. The female skel-
etons are seven feet long-one foot less
than the male. The neck OF the male
has a chain of teeth about it.
Another chain made OF very small
bones was found, along with different
stone weapons and tools. The stones
are not cut or ground in any way, but
as found in nature. These people are
believed to have lived a long time be-
leved TO have lived a long time before
those found seven and nine years ago
IN caves of the same range of noun
tains, and which were at the time be-
lieved to have lived L., 1000 to 1000
years ago.

SILVER IN HIS WHISPERS.
Hermann Shakes Shower Of Dollars From
Senator Sanders Beard.

Free silver poured out of the whisk-
ers of Senator Sanders OF Montana at
the National theater few evenings
ago, to the manifest delight of large
and fashionable audience attracted
by the feats promised by the world
renowned Hermann, says Washing
ton correspondent. Senator Sanders
arrived early and secured front seat.
while all around him sat his colleagues
in the senate, cabinet officers and
other distinguished notables. No one
enjoyed the performance more than
the Montana senator, and no one
was more mystified by the wonderful
black art professor. Finally, how
ever, Hermann concluded that he
needed some silver dollars for one OF
his feats, and invited the audience to
assist him by furnishing the necessary
coins. As no one volunteered to
make the loan, he singled out Senator
Sanders, and, holding silk hat di-
rectly under his chin, the magician
tugeed vigorously at the senat orial
whiskers. He pulled them and shook
the senator's head while a shower OF
silver dollars poured into the hat.
making a musical clink dear to the
heart of the free silver advocate upon
whom he was operating.

ONE OF MR.. sHIEL's CONVERTS.
Sturdy Irishman Convinced That He Had
Been Democrat Long Enough.

indianapolis .Iournall
Saturday afternoon, after the con-
vention, a small knot of men, among
whom was Chairman Gowdy, were
standing listening to a man in the
Denison hotel office, near the reading
room door. The speaker was a sturdy
man of about 81 years, with a bright
face; his name was Riley and he is the
stock agent of the Nickel Plate rail-
road. He was telling the listeners
that two or three months ago he met
Mr.. X. X. Shiel on business here, as
he had before. Business over, CONVEX
sation turned towards politics, and
Shiel said: 81 suppose you are a
Democrat"
"Yes," answered Riley.
"And you, like myself are man OF
Irish blood. suppose that you are
Democrat because your father was, or
because the Irish for the most part
are. You have no better reason for
so being"
IL was rather angry" said Mr..
Riley, ''at the way Shiel came at me
and had thought that il was very
good reason to he Democrat because
my father had been one, and / told
him so; but he said that it was no
reason whatever. Shiel went on, de-
claring that there was no sense in the
Irish being Democrats and being so
much under the control of Democratic
politicians. They count us as theirs,
shouted Shiel; you hear disputes as
to how the Germans will vote, but did
you ever mind hearing anyone doubt
how we Irish would vote? Not bit
of it; the Democrats count us as
property"
"And then we turned to talking OF
Egan," said Riley, "and / expressed
my regard for him, for / had known
something OF him. Yes retorted
Shiel, but every Democratic paper in
the land is shouting Pat Egan, as il it
were a crime Tor a man of Irish blood
to hold high Office. And who gave
him this office? Harrison; and do
you mind that in his message about
Chill the president, before he went
on to speak OF other matters, at
tested to the high character and eff
cheney of Egan? And still the abuse
OF Egan goes on And Shiel kept this
up, and | got very mad. But after
left him and was riding over the coun-

Democratic paper, and Pat Egan APP
peared in black letters, and with SLAM
der and abuse. Then I thought OF
what Shiel said about an Irishman

Then | talked it over with my wife.
and III two weeks we came to the con
clusion that / had been a Democrat
long enough. | am a Republican to-
day, like Shiel, and / am putting in
my work for Harrison, who stood by

ports and did him honor. | shall do

Fergus County argus., 1892-04-21
What 1t Would Do.

Comparisons made by the Boston
Commercial Bulletin show that the
rates of duty on wool and woolen
goods in Mr.. Springer's new bill would
diminish the revenues of the govern
ment 80 millions OF dollars a year,
unless the importation OF those arti-
cles on which a duty is retained was
enormously increased. 1t would re-
quire, it shows, increased importa-
tions amounting to Ssh millions OF
dollars, to make up the loss,-or, in
other words, our annual purchase OF
wooden goods abroad would have to
rise from 43l, millions, as in 1891, to
1888, millions, in order that there
would be no loss of revenue.
Is it not wonderful that men who
are esteemed sane, and even made
members OF congress, can seriously
propose legislation which offers the
country these alternatives, only: %
the loss of 80 millions OF revenue; or
| ~ the displacement of home manu-
| features by foreign to the amount oi
Ssh millions? The latter alternative
would be the more probable result,
and it's effect upon domestic manufac'
lures and wool growing can hardly be
estimated.

He Wants a New Wife.

Washington correspondent Phila-
delphia Record: Secretary Rusk is
thinking seriously OF establishing a
matrimonial bureau in connection
with the agricultural department.
The idea was suggested by letter
he recently received from a man out
west who experimental with some OF
the cucumber seeds sent to him by the
department at the instance of his rep
resentative in congress. 1t appears
that the farmer planted the cucumber
seeds and his wife afterward died from
eating some of the cucumbers.
The farmer in his letter to Secretary
Rusk said: "Your blamed cucumbers
robbed me of my wife, so instead ot
sending me cucumber seed this spring
send me another wife. / hear there
are number OF likely women in your
department"
In reply Secretary Rusk said he had
no appropriation from which he could
draw money to send n wife TO til,
widower, but suggested that the lat
ter come to Washington and pick on
one for himself.
The secretary informed his CORES
pondent that he has in the depart
ment some beautiful maidens, man.
sprightly widows and several wei
reasoned old maids.
