EDITOR sun:
My name having been attached to
a number of articles that have been
published in your paper recently /
think that perhaps am not entitled
to any more space. But there is a
question now agitating the minds of
the people of this county upon which
i wish to give my views. | am not a
teacher or a scholar, / am only an
old farmer, fully realize my defici-
ency in educational matters and my
incompetency to give advice on such
subjects but an old persons expert
ence is of some value. / was mem
Der of the school board some years
ago in my native state; the school law
was a little different from what it is
in this state; man was chosen from
each district in the town and they
constituted the school board. At the
tine | was member of the board a
new law had been passed, the design
of which was to have a uniformity of
OF text books in the state, but in or
der that the law might not appear to
be arbitrary it provided that the
school board in each town select such
text books as they in their judgement
considered the best.
Whether we believe it or not, it is
a fact that all authors excel in son.e
branch or science. One man will ex-
eel i'll mathematics, another in chem
istry, another in philosophy, another
in grammar, and by selecting our text
books from different authors we were
enabled to get the best books then in
use. We found it very bad policy
to get all of our books from one
author. First, because it was estab-
fishing bad principle the giving one
man the monopoly in educational
matters; and second because others
who publish equally as good books
and in some branches better, we're
denied the privilege of benefting
mankind. If number of men pub
lish a series of text books that are
nearly alike in their methods of in
struction, [ would purchase of the
man that would make the largest dis
count and yet wonld never allow
the cost of a book to control the
judgement. While I believe that
competition is the life of all business
and all industries in the world, in
matters of education [ would choose
books that had the best methods of
instruction. Perhaps Mr.. Welch S
suggestion, to let the superintendent
and teachers choose the books, is the
best plan; it certainly is very good
one, but [ think that there are a num-
Der of the members of the different
school boards in the county that are
as capable of choosing text books as
some of the teachers.
Mr.. Welch's idea of changing books
is good one. / think Mr.. w. is very
apt in his comparison of books that
have been in use many years, to the
old wooden mould board pillow. All
progressive teachers ought to be en-
couraged by furnishing our schools
with books of modern ideas and mod
ern methods of instruction. What
little experience I have had in choos-
ing books convinces me that it is very
desirable to have uniformity so far as
practicable, as it saves getting new
books in case families change their
location. S. B. Smith.

1t is not thought probable that the
Government will take any action in
regard to the Sunday opening of the
Worlds Fair further than to order
in accordance with an openion given
by the Attorney General this week,
that all of the Government exhibits,
including the branch postoffice on the
Exposition grounds, be closed on
Sunday. Opinions differ about the
refunding of the S2,5OO,OOO voted by
Congress to the Exposition, provided
it remains closed on Sunday. Hon.
B. B. Smalley, one Of the Worlds
Fair Commissioners, is at present in
Washington, and his opinion is that
the money SO far paid of that appro-
priated will not be refunded, and
that the balance will be paid just as
acquisitions are made on the Treas
ury for it,

BUELL. WAS IN TOWN.
The v Dollar Man Trys to Square
Himself In Redwood.

CD. Buell,the single tax Democrat,
and solicitor of FIVE dollar bills for the
Minnesota Association of Democratic
clubs, came up from st. Paul last Fri
day for the purpose of explaining to
Redwood Democrats how he made
such an awful blunder in raising the
amounts set opposite their names, and
how he happened to get one signature
without the signer knowing what he
was doing. Mr.. Buell. incidentally
called at the GAZETTE Office, for the
purpose, he declared, of correcting
some erratic statements that appeared
in this paper regarding him some time
ago. Mr.. Buell. stated, almost as he
has before, that in looking over his
long list of five dollar men, that he
did not notice that few of them were
down for less,and consequently he de-
clared that he issued sight drafts on
them all for V. He declared that he
never misrepresented his purpose in
order to secure signature, and that
he always did his own talking. His
listener might misunderstood him, at
times, and it might have been such a
case that happened in Redwood Falls.
One of the gentlemen who signed fer
three dollars, had since put up V
and purchased membership in good
standing in the club, he said, and he
was here for the purpose of explain
ing his action on the charge of mis-
representation, but the gentleman who
accused him of misrepresenting the
matter to him,was out of the city DUR
ing Mr.. Buells sojourn in this city be-
tween two and eight o'clock Friday
afternoon, and as a result Mr. Buell.
took the evening train for Sleepy Eye
to gather in more V dollar bills.
II am not ashamed of my single tax
principles" said MIR. Buell. to the GA
zETTE reporter. II believe in them be-

venge on NanD Dusen, or with an ignor-
ant idea that the consumption of l5.-
600 bushels Of wheat by flames would
raise the market value of that COM
modify. A rumor that a jovial party
of'young fellows going home viathe
elevator shortly after twelve might
have accidentally set the building on
fire by throwing away a lighted cigar
has been investigated, and seems to
be without foundation.
The other elevator, it will be re-
membered, was destroyed by fire in
February, on Tuesday evening, the
last of the month, about nine o'clock,
and the burning of this one SO soon
afterwards, tends to confirm the theory
ofincendiarism advanced in connection
with that fire. The fact that both were
the elevators of the same strong cor
poration against whom every one hav-
ing wheat to sell aims phillipics on ac-
count of low prices strengthens the
theory. Mr.. Caswell, the agent, one
of the most pleasant and agreeable
agents in the country, has in great
measure subdued this feeling against
his firm, but it rankles wherever the
uame of VanDusen is heard, and Mr..
Caswell has evidently not wiped it
out here. The elevator and contents
are insured by blanket policy held
by the company.
Editor Hughes and John O'Hara,
the two first to arrive at the Second
ward hose cart house, seized the chem
ical and arrived at the elevator before
discovering that they did not have the
hose cart.
Mr.. VanDusen was seen at his home
in Minneapolis, Sunday afternoon and
stated that he had no reason to believe
that the elevator was set on tire,as the
company had no enemies so far as he
knew.
Auditor Shannon and an insurance
adjuster came up from Minneapolis
Monday and sized up the ruins. Mr..
Shannon was strongly inclined to lay
the origin to the young men out on a
'stear" late Saturday night.
