PECULIAR ACCIDENT.

While Hunting Bees William Ross Acci-
dentaliy Hangs Himself.
MUIR, Sept. 5.-William Ross, a well
known young man about 20 years of
age, living in North Plains township,
met death in a most peculiar manner.
The young man had climbed nearly to
the top of tree about 70 feet high to
cut down some bees which he had dis
covered there. AS an extra precaution
against his falling he tied the end of a
long rope tightly about his body and
fastened the other end to neighboring
branch.
All went well until the limb which
he was saving and on which the bees
had taken refuge, broke loose and fell.
In falling it accidentally twisted the
rope around the young mans neck and
broke it before aid could reach him. He
died in very few moments.

DETROIT, Sept. 5.-Milo Mccarthy,
years of age, who lived with his
parents at Delray, was struck by a
Wabash switch engine and 30 terribly
injured that he died within two hours.
The accident happened near the boys
home, but the exact particulars of how
he came to be run over could not be
learned. When picked up the lad was
frightfully mangled. His left leg and
left arm were both crushed and broken.
He was placed on an engine and carried
as quickly as possible to the Detroit
sanitarium, where it was found that ii
would be necessary to amputate both
of the injured members. The operation
was performed, but the boy died few
minutes later.

Ever since the enormous enlarge

what must be the lot of the second. the

ed The cause Of this unhappy
crowding of the market for brain
laborers is not far to seek. An
immense number OF persons who
in former times would have worked
with their hands as their fathers did
before them are being educated to
work with their heads. There is
general leveling up of the social grades
if you look at it enthusiastically. The
son of the artisan becomes a clerk; the
son of the clerk aspires to teach in a
school, the son of the school teacher
aspires to go to Oxford or Cambridge.
But this leveling up is not an unmiXed
blessing. The result is that we have
fifty times too many clerks-two hun

too many half-educated teachers. and,
alas! ten times too many university
graduates turned out every year to
crowd the ranks of the bar, the

somehow or other, places must be found

year the problem is howto do it. That

A GREAT DEAL OF TALK
INDUCED In at the Board of Edu.
cation Meeting.

INDUCED In at the Board of Edu.
cation Meeting.
The board of education held a pro-
tracted session yesterday afternoon,
which was notable mainly for the
amount of mind expended in talk.
The greatly talked of Park day for
the school children came up, and it was
sat down upon hard, it being decided
to not indulge in the luxury at least
this year.
The report of Supt. Jordan showed
the total number of students for Sep
TENDER TO be- 22,931, being an Increase
of over 1000.
1t was voted TO give to the city of
Minneapolis part of the state educa-
tIonal exhibit at the worlds fair with
which to start pedagogical museum
10 form part of the university.
A lively scrap took place over the
matter OF returning the books taken
from the teachers by mistake at the
time when the free text book law went
into effect, and Inspector Rolfe wanted
to apologize to the teachers. The latter
proposition was sat down upon, aud the
subject was laid upon the table. Bills
We're allowed aggregating $4,000.
The matter of allowing salaries of
teachers absent on furlough lis or through
sickness was discussed at length, and
In this connection the rules of the
board were alluded to, when Mrs.
Cralgs, the lady member, took occasion
to give the board curtain lecture on
the virtue of making rules and not
breaking them.
