MOBBED THE JEWS.
Superstitious BOhemians WrecI

Superstitious BOhemians Wreck
and Pillage Their Domiciles.
PRAGUE. April 13.-The town of
KOlon. or Neu Kolin, on the river Elbe,
thirty-five miles from Prague, has been
the scene of a fierce struggle between a
mob frenZied by religious superstition
and the military called out to protect
the Jewish population. 1t is common
belief among the more ignorant in Be-
hernia, as in some other parts of Europe,
that the Jews have custom of killing
Christians in connection and conformity
with Jewish religious rites. The body
of a servant girl named Marie Paulik
was recently found in the Elbe at KOlin.
The impression rapidly spread that the
girl had been murdered by the Jews in
accordance with their supposed religious
customs, and that after the remains had
been used in the supposed secret rites
the body had been thrown into the
river. A multitude of the more
ignorant populace believed the story
and worked themselves into a
frenzy of excitement and indigna-
ton against the alleged murderers
and the Jewish race in general. They
gathered in force and wrecked the jew
ish synagogue, and attacked and
wrecked the shops and residences of the
Jews. The mob were IN complete con-
troll, and as their fight grew more ter
rible, the civil authorities were COM
PEELED to call upon the military for as
sistance. The soldiers marched to the
scene of the rlOting in considerable
force, but the MOI refused to disperse.
The military were ordered to charge,
and did charge, the mob even then re-
sisting. The populace fought the sol
diers, and several were badly wounded
before the riot was subdued. The ring.
leaders were arrested and quiet at
length restored, but not until after the
Jewish population at Rolin had suffered
a large loss of property, as we'll as much
personal insult and injury.

FREE TEXT BOOKS.
Supt. KiehIe viii Not Advise as
TO Selections.

SuDt. KiehIe viii Not Advise as
TO Selections.
State Superintendent Kiehle is re-
ceiving inquiries from county superin-
tendents as to the best books to be
adopted in their schools under the free
Textbook law. To such inquiries he re-
plies that he is under the necessity of
withholding a personal judgment as to
which of all the books offered are the
best books for schools. One reason is
that he has not given, and shall prob
ably not be able to give them sufficient
examination to make just selection of
the books that are best. The other is:
The law cOntemplateS that school dis
trictS and their advisers, the county
SupelintendentS, shall make that Selec-
ton uninhuenced by the state depart
ment.
He suggests that it would be good
thing for county superintendent5 to
visit the department where books are
deposited, and examine them all for
themselves; or,if they desire assistance,
to appoint some responsible men for
their own county to look over the books
and select a series that to them seems
the best. OF course, this action would
be advisory. but its influence would be
very great with the districts, according
to their confidence in such committee.
The state department is receiving
some very excellent books and Mime
sofa will be offered the best books in
the market at very reasonable prices.

ern LuXUTleS.
AS a number of the members of the
Minnesota club came out of the club
house last evening, they noticed man
standing on the corner across the way
pacing up and down, and apparently
watching some object which was on the
sidewalk. His nervous actions. and the
fact that he was stylishly dressed and
did not appear to be intoxicated, at
tracted their attention, and some OF the
members walked across the street.
Its all right, gentlemen, for such l
see you are, this is mine and l found
it," he said. Il am waiting for the first
closed carriage that comes along to take
it to my hotel. | am sure that you Will
not endeayor by force of numbers to
take it away from me. | found it i'll the
street, right by the sidewalk, aud good
ness only knows how many people have
passed right by without thinking that
fortune lay in the street. 1t is mine by
right of possession, at least until the
owner proves his property. There must
have been burglars around, or it would
never have been dropped in the street
without any one to guard it."
"What is it," asked one of the club
men. 81 see nothing but cake of ice"
The stranger gasped in establishment.
"O-n-l-y ice" he said. You talk as
though 1t were a common thing. Down
in st. Louis we know its real value.
That must be worth a mint of money"
You can find all of it you wish down
the river a short distance" said one Of
the club men. That has been thrown
away"
The stranger looked in a daZed man
ner after them as they strolled down
the street. Then he gathered himself
together, buttoned up his coat, and dis
appeared in Il saloon. He was unac-
customed to northern Injuries.

and simple. and most unwlse in any
event, as this paper pointed out before
the law was adopted. ANY parent who
is able TO send his children to the dis
trict school is able to purchase the
necessary text books. and there is no
reason why taxpayers whose children
are grown, or who have no children,
should contribute to the purchase OF
a large stock of books for the use of
other peoples children, and no children
at all. The parents who have children
at school will probably discover that
under this law their contributions to
text books are much greater than under
the old way.

A FAT SITUATION.

Nv. FooTE, Gov. NELSON'S oil in
spector, has not been coming from Min
neapolis with his dinner pail, day after
day, and living at the state house for
nothing. His Oil inspection bill is
passed, and, if the governOg signs it, he
has the latest Office in Minnesota and
one of the latest in the United States.
His income will range from 5000 to
$4,000 a year. The bill is a master
piece. and the outgrowth OF skillful i'm
provement upon all other inspection
bills had in the state. SAM Nichols

THE FREE TEXT BOoK Law.

Already several of the country school
districts are involved in trouble over
the free text book law, and many of the
state papers are denouncing it as an nm
wise provision. Agents of the various
text book concerns are fiocking into the
districts and pulling the wires to bring
about local acceptance of the law. In
some places they have succeeded. and it
will be strange if they do not succeed
everywhere. The country papers ex-
press the fear that every district which
accepts will be put TO the expense of
purchasing an entirely new outfit, dis
carding everything now in use there.
This is an outcome which might well
have been foreseen. Text book houses
do not operate for fun. Their managers
are shrewd enough to make business,
and this law has afforded them mag
niicent opening.
1t will generally do the taxpayers lit
lie good to complain. The agents will
simply convince the county superin-
tendents that the text books in use are
anterior, and soon a majority of the tax
payers will be persuaded into the same
,elief, and the game is won.
The movement was paternalism pure

School Book Question.

Waseca Radical.
The school book question is large
question. and we hope the district Off
Gals will 90 slow in the matter of
adopting new books under the new law.
The books now in use should do for
some time, and it would be the height
of folly to make ony changes at present,
yet the agents are already in the field,
and if they can have their way new
books will be introduced at once.
There were six agents in town one day
last week, and it was a poor day for
agents. too, we are told. What the re-
suit of the new law may be, we do not
know, but we believe 1t will be bad
enough. There is rot likely to be uni
formity in future. but rather a multi
plicity of books, as many different
kinds as there are agents. The only
wise plan for the district is to move
slowly, and if possible have the county
officials adopt some of the many differ
ent kinds, and all buy of that kind.
This would be better than for the dis
tricts to buy different kinds, as it would
insure cheaper books and supply kept
Oh hand by depository i'll the county.
Think it over.

TWO ARTEsIAN WELLS
To Supply Better Drinking Water
for the Flats.

10 supply BETTER DflnkInp W ater
for the Flats.
Aid. Franklin, City Engineer Rund-
lett and Rev. David Morgan, of the
floating Bethel, visited the upper flats
on this side of the river and the lower
flats on the West side yesterday after
noon. The object of their visit was to
examine as to the necessity and advisa-
bility of sinking artesian wells for the
purpose of giving the residents of these
localities good drinking water. The
wells on the flats near the Smith ave
hue bridge were found not to be SO bad
as was supposed. 1t was decided
to recommend the sinking of one we'll
on each side of the bridge. The terri
tory to the west of State street. on the
flats, it was thought could be supplied
with city water, although there is no
way by which the owners can be obliged
to put city water in the houses. Below
State street, it was the opinion that two
wells would be sufficient to supply the
needs of the residents. The wells will
cost about $50 each. An order will be
presented to the board of aldermen next
Tuesday night directing the wells to be
put in.
