Honor Roll of those who did such eX-
cellent work as to pass the state ex-

make good record before the state
board with these 169 papers. Most OF
our classes do not complete their pres
ent studies until the end Of the year,
when, at the present rate OF good
work, we shall make more honorable
record. These state certificates repre-
sent good daily work and scholarship.
They speak we'll for the work of pupils
and teachers alike. A pupil who does
genuine good work each day will have
no special difficulty in any fair exam
nation by the state, but those VINO
are often absent or are Indifferent in

their lack of knowledge and diSclp-

we expect the coming term. Parents

This has been partially overcome by

The grand naval display in New
York last Thursday was an object les
son of priceless value to US. 1t showed
to the other leading nations that this
country has a formidable navy second
to none in efficiency, speed and de-
structive power, under the charge of
officers who are unexcelled for skill
and bravery. Such an armament
commands the respect of the other
powers and is really powerful peace
maker. 1t gives added authority to
the stars and stripes wherever they
feat.

1T is no small thing to be able to
say that this country is to-day the
second iron and steel ship-building
country in the World-second only to
England-and that, without reducing
the cost of American labor; we have
reduced the original cost of the iron
ship to within IL per cent. of what it
is in England, and can build shin
having no superior anywhere. Our
ten years record in iron and steel
ship-building is such record as
ought to stop the mouths of the men
who declare that Americans cannot
build iron ships, and must depend
upon England for them.

The ruinous policy of purchasing
deprecated silver bullion, on which
coin certificates are issued, and then
paying these coin certificates in gold,
cannot be continued indefinitely
without exhausting every dollar of
gold in the country and sending it to
Europe. Even the credit and faith
of the United States will break down
eventually under this system and the
currency of the country will rest upon
nothing but the tons of constantly
depreciating silver that the Sherman
law is piling up in the treasury vaults.
The sooner the Sherman silver pur-
chasing law is repealed the better for
the monetary system of the country.

to run through from New York to
Chicago in nineteen hours, leaving
New York every day at 3 p. M, and
arriving at Chicago at 10 a. m. the

ter time made on our western roads. it
would be greatly appreciated by the
travelling public. Three hours from
Austin to St. Paul and twelve hours
from Austin to Chicago should be

WHILE the New York bankers claim
that they are the centre of the
financial world, it may be proper to
remark that there is less gold to-day
in the national banks Of New York
than in Chicago, and that the gold
centre is west of the Alleghanies
The March official reports show in the
west, $54,000,0O0 in gold and in the
east, 500, 100000 in gold. If Uncle Sam
gets in a financial strait, the west can
helD him out.

THE Memorial Story of America"
announced by the L. M. Aver Publishing
Co., of Minneapolis, is a new work of
very great merit. 1t is topical history
of the United States, up to date, and
prepared on an entirely new plan. The
history is divided according to subjects,
rather than periods. No one author, no
matter how great, could prepare such a
complete work as this. The editors, DR..
Mabie and Col. Bright, have called to
their aid such specialists as DR.. Shaw,
formerly editor of the Minneapolis Trib-
une, who writes on the Great West and
Northwest" Hon. John Sherman, on our
National Currency" Senator Dawes, on
"The American INDIAN" Congressman
Breckenridge. on ''The Old South and
the New" Bishop Vincent, Miss Frances
E. Willard and others. This work has
received the highest endorsement from
the ablest critics and leading magazines
and journals. 1t is superbly embellished
by $50 entirely new engravings. many of
which are real works Of art. II. Freder-

A tramp assaulted K. s. Allyn, an old

He cut several gashes in Allyn's head

Blood trickling down to the barn floor

recover. Allyn was feeding his horses
at the time.
