in an unfriendly way, but very little
offered in the way of suggestion to i'm
prove them. .
The State of California has one of the
most complete printing establishments in
the world, which was fitted up at an
enormous expense to publish school
books. The machinery is all Of the very
latest pattern, and the work done there
should be Of the very best kind. If there
is any fault to be found with the subject
matter Of the books, and much fault IS
found, the teachers of the State should CO.
operate with the State Board of Educa-
ton in remedying the defects, rather
than finding fault with everything at
/ tempted to be done. The book publishers
have been untiring in their efforts to
bring the State books into disrepute, for
! they see the loss Of a good market for
their books if the State is successful in
manufacturing a satisfactory article.
| The coming Legislature should inquire
closely into the complaints made con-
corning the books furnished by the State,
but with a view solely to bringing them
up to the proper standard, and never
with view to disseminating their publ
cation. The people would never consent
to return to the tender mercies Of the
book rings who tiourished so extensively
before the State went into the business of
publishing its own school books.

ment of interest only Tor three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment Of

CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-This morning a
woman jumped from the second story
window of the Atlantic Hotel, and called
for the protection of passing policeman.
She told the following story: Through an
advertisement in farming paper she
made the acquaintance of Winfield 5. JEFF
terson, who claims that he is a ranch
owner in Douglas County, Or. She is
Mrs. Matter Alexander, wealthy widow
Of kinderhoob, \. \. They CORE
sponded, met here and were married yes

certified checks on her person, and claimed
that her husband had borrowed $3.50. Last
night after hewent to sleep she concluded
that he had married her for her money
and decided to escape from him. The
hotel clerk consented to secret her in an
out-of-the-way room, and tried to assault
her this morning. She escaped by Jump
ing from a window. Her husband says
he believes his wife is temporarily de-
mented, but she will be all right in a few
days. The woman appears perfectly sane.

stated that number of ranchmen and
other residents on the Rio Grande Dor
der will file with the Government claims
for damages through the depredations Of
bandits and so-called revolutionists from
Texas. These bandits, while claiming to
be of a political character, are nothing
more nor less than freebooters, who in

will be formally presented to the United

baltimore Hospital.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 2S.-Fredericll Otte, a
patient in the City Hospital, is likely TO
explode at any moment Ote, who is
suffering from emphysema or air-swell-
ng, is now swollen up to three or four
times his normal dimensions, and his
skin is as tight as the cover Of baseball.
The doctors say that unless death comes
in some other way he is bound to ex-
plode. Otte was driver for the Adams
Express Company. While at work at the
company's stables he was caught between
moving car and the wall and dragged
about ten feet. His ribs were broken and
the sharp ends driven through his lungs.
Every time he breathes a portion OF the
air which should naturally beexpelled is
pumped from the lung into the tissues
between the flesh and skin. He now re-
sembles q balloon, and with each breath
his condition becomes more serious. The
doctors can do nothing but tap him, and
though the air comes out in puffs, it goes
in twice as quickly. Otte lies in his cot
conscious, but perfectly helpless. His
face and features are fearfully distorted.
