AS TO SCHOOL BOOKS.
The Plan Which Is Proposed by n Man
From MissouIa.

MISsoULA, Jan. 9.-The following
timely communication was sent to the
STANDARD by n gentleman who has had
practical experience in both legislative
and school work and contains practical
hints upon an important topic that are
we'll worth considering:
To the Editor Of the Standard:
The purpose OF text books in our public
schools is threefod: First. To aid the pupil in
acquiring habits OF self reliance In study. sec
ond. 10 enable the pupil TO learn how 10 use
books as "a means Of self culture. Third. To
aid the teacher by atfOrding to the pupil indie
pendent sources of Information.
These oh ects should be kept in view in the
selection of text books by the members of the
legislature, II our text books are to be changed;
and II seems to be absolutely necessary that a
new contract be made with some publishers Of
text books as the present contract with the pub
fishers Will soon expire; and the idea of uni
foTmty OF text books within the state should
n OF be abandoned at this time.
Sp akng from a teachers standpoint | be-
lleve that some changes ought to be made.
There Is certainly "a better series OF readers.
grammars and arithmetics, and II there are
not, the readers should be changed If for no
other purpose than To give new reading matter
to the children.
The prices at which books are furnished to
pupils in Montana at the present time are from
20 to 40 per cent more than pupils OF other
states have 10 pay for the same books. Follow
the commissioner OF education, 1859, which
proves that we are paying too much, and that
the book agents got the best of the 1889 legis
latuTp.

QUARREL ABOUT FEES.
Attorney General OIney Asked to Settle
Dispute Over Lippert's Arrest.

Attorney General OIney Asked to Settle
Dispute Over Lippert's Arrest.
New YORK, Jan. 9.-The recent war of
words between United States Marshals
BOIL of Cincinnati and Mccarthy of New
York over the arrest of Forger Lippert in
Cincinnati, has been referred to Attorney
General Olney at Washington by BOIL,
who claims that tho New York deputy
marshal stole into his territory unauthor-
lied to arrest Lippert. Marshal Boil also
wants to recover the fees in the case.
Lippert, who is wanted in Cape Colony for
forgeries alleged to have been committed
there during the years 1889 and 1890, ag-
gregating S8i3,575, is at present detained
in Ludlow street Jail awaiting his eXtradi-
ton TO South Africa. Marshal Mccarthy
is in receipt of letter from the attorney
general relating Marshal Bohl's COM
plant, and asking for an explanation.
Marshal Mccarthy, who has received
several heated communications from the
Cincinnati marshal. with fiery articles
from Cincinnati newspapers, to-day for
warded particulars of the arrest to the at
torney general, inclosing copies of Mar
shall Bohl's letters TO him. and contending
that the arrest of Lippert was perfectly
regular under section $40 of the revised
statutes of the United States. The issue
is now at Washington, and both marshals
are awaiting the decision.

principal producers of copper in the
United States were i'm active negotiations
regarding tho renewal of an arrangement
which existed couple of years ago to re-
strict production. Although these nogo-
tiations were carried on for some time, an
agreement could not be arrived ut at the
time, principally on account of some fac
tors making demands which the other
producers did not feel warranted in grant
ing.
During November the market became
dormant. Tho election attracted more
attention than did business, and the
sweeping republican victory did not bring
about an immediate change. When the
market eased off somewhat, Europe
again took largo quantities, especially
such lots as were offered at rather below
the market values established over here,
which in some instances wore quito
marked, and very often Il to 2 C. below.
At the beginning of December n large
sale was reported from the other side, of
about 1000 tons of lake copper, netting
about ~ {. o. b. New York, when there
was n good demand for home trade at 80
to 90. Meanwhile the demand for wire
bars continued. Eloctrolytic makers
being sold out, and with navigation on
tho lakes closed, lake copper could only
be brought down by rail at an extra ex-
pensc of :. C. per pound.
Considering tho low prices ruling Tor
copper, mono of tho companies showed
any readiness to do this, and the Calumet
and Hecla company this time remaining
very firm and refusing all bids below ten
cents, il practically forced all buyers to
come to this figure, and during the last
fortnight in December this price was paid
for about 1900 TO 1000 tons. So far as can
be judged now, there is little likelihood
that cheaper prices will be accepted for
some time to come.
The market for casting copper followed
closely that of Lake copper, with small
fluctuations, the difference being from
d to &c, and the closing prices for cast
ing copper are 9% to 1I, but it appears
that tho consumptive demand for this
grade of copper has materially fallen of.
In the main, production of copper has
again been very large. Montana remains
in the lead, with Michigan n good second.

HALL WANTS HIS PAY.
Ito Thinks the County owes Him Some
Salary.

MssoULA, Jan. 9.--Charlie Hall, deputy
clerk of the court, has suit pending
against the county for two months salary,
which threatens to drag itself into the
supreme court. as Mr.. Hall says he's
going TO win or die in the last ditch. The
trouble began in June. 1898, when the
county commissioners ordered a reduc-
ton of the force in the Office of the clork
of tho court. At that time Deputy Clerk
Travis retired for a short time from olli-
cial life but after brief rest resumed
his duties, the work of the office demand
ing two deputies. Again in June, 1891,
the commissioners ordered a reduction,
but the clerk stated that he could not get
along with less than two deputies aud Mr..
Travis continued to issue licenses and
make transcripts, although he did not
draw any salary for three months. Then
he received a warrant for the full amount
of his salary but the commissioners issued
an order which practically instructed
Clcrk of the Court Mcdonnell to dispense
with the services of Mr.. Hall.
Mr. Mcdonnell decided that he was tho
best Judge of the personnel of his office
force and he retained Mr.. Hall. When
salary time came, Mr.. Hall put in a bill
for services but received no warrant and
Mr.. Travis was paid for his services for
the month. October, November and
December passed and Charlie received no
warrant, but he worked on jus, tho same.
At tho last meeting of the board, Judge
Woody presented statement that, during
one of these months, the work of the
clerk S office demanded two deputies ana
tho commissioners paid Mt. Hall for one
month. But that wasn't enough. During
the other two months no had been issuing
marriage licenses At n fearful rate and in
other ways laborinE for the good of the
community. so that he considers that he
has Two months pay still coming and for
tins lac viii bring suit. The outcome will
De watched with deep interest, especially
hy Mr.. Hall.

MODEST I'M THEIR DEMANDS.
Missoula County Prisoners Ask for
Everything They Don't See.

Missouia County Prisoners Ask for
Everything They Don't See.
MIssoULA, Jan. County Commits
sioner Rankin made a visit to the Jail yes
terday afternoon to acquaint himself with
the needs of that institution, he being tho
purchasing agent of the new board. He
found plenty to investigate and before he
had completed his own inspection the
prisoners flooded him with suggestions
which they insisted he should consider.
Some of them wanted new furnace put
in, because the present one smokes; some
wanted n new water heater, SO that they
could wash their clothes to better adj
vantage; some wanted new clothes, as
their present raiment is inhabited by
other tenants than themselves; some
wanted new blankets because the present
ones are tenanted by vermin that push
them out of bed when they retire; some
wanted chewing tobacco; some wanted
smoking tobacco; all had some request to
prefer, but none of them had anything to
say about the ugly looking hole in the
south wall of the Jail. If Mr.. Rankin
takes note of all these complaints he will
have no time for anything else. The
prisoners seemed disappointed that he
would not remain longer to listen to their
tale of woe, but one of them promised to
write him a letter which will do just as
well

He Has Some of tue Best Ever Brought
to These Parts
MIsSOULA. Jan. 9.-The three flyers
which constitute the advance guard of the
McAvoy stable are now comfortably To-
Gated in the old Higgins barn on Pine
street. They arc handsome animals and
attract considerable attention when they
take their exercise. Chief among them is
Gen. Arthur, the handsome iron gray
3-year-old that made the Montana circuit
last year. He was trained as a trotter IN
his 2-year-old form and early in the sea-
son was considered formidable rival for
DIR. Puff. During the season, however, he
showed decided tendency toward pac-
ing that spoiled his trotting gait, so he
was converted and is now n sidewheeler.
He shows n smooth, quick gait in his ex-
ercise and great things are expected of
him next season. He is a powerful ami
NAL and has the appearance of n slayer.
Irene L.. speedy looking sorrel pacing
mare, 2 :23, is Gen. Arthur's neighbor in
the stable and is an attractive looking
animal. She moves easily and is liable to
mako some of the sidewheelers go some
this year.
The we'll known horse, Antioch, 2:2lH,
completes the trio. lie is n brown aud
trots as squarely as a die. He will be re-
membered by the Missoula people as the
horse that contested the locally celebrated
seven heat race with Rena n. i'll Butte,
two years ago, when James Carrigan
drove the game little mare to victory when
it was not believed that she could win.
Mr.. McAvoy reached town to-day.
His horse Dan Velox is still in Salt Lake
but he expects to ship him soon to Mis-
soula. He expects to bring several other
horses, so that he will have about 10 ami
mails in training here next spring.

MONTANA RETAIL PRICES.

And yet the members OF the legislature are an
der the impression that one of the advantages to
be derived by securing a uniform use of books
throughout the state was a great saving in
price. As to The manner OF bringing about the
changes necessary believe that the legislature
should pass a law empowering the state board
OF education TO control the whole subject of the
use OF text books I'm our common schools. IL Is
not proper subject for legislatures II deal
with for many reasons
West Virginia and Montana are the only two
states In the United States using text books
selected by the state legislatures; all others.
where uniformity Is had, have referred the
selection OF books to state boards or special
committees or to both. If some member OF the
present legislature wants to become a real bene-
factor. let aim introduce and secure the adop
ton OF bill Including the following:
THE state board OF education shall enforce
uniformity OF text books In all public schools,
and shah adopt list thereof which shall re-
manned unchanged for AT least five years after
