CHARLESTON, w. VA, February o.
The school book bill came up for con
slderation in the House of Delegates
to-day. The caucus OF the Republican
members held last night resulted
IN pulling the party together
on the main issues in the
school book fight Mr.. Jones presented
q communication from d. C. Heath Il
Co., agreeing toeliminate the objection
able features from Dole's American Cit
izen, the book adopted by the Commit
tee on Civil Government. The book
was allowed 10 remain on the list with
that proviSo.
On the motion Of Mr.. Morris, Fisk's
book on civil gov eminent was stricken
out. Brooks mental arithmetic was
added. The party had evidently not
agreed upon this item, as its adoption
was opposed by members on the Repub-
lican side. Mr.. Campbell was not in
favor OF putting this additional expense
upon the people. IL was a useless ex-
penditure Of money.
MR.. JONES OBJECTED
because il was not book suitable for
primary schools. Ii was suitable only
for normal schools and colleges. The
Republican members again began TO
pull apart, and the consideration Of the
bill was stopped abruptly by the adop-
ton OF a motion to make il the special
order for Monday at 2:30.
The Senate did not take up the text
book bill to-day. More time was de-
sired for conference on several points in
the bill. The Republican Senators
were not agreed on all the features OF
the bill and il was permitted to 90 over
with the hope Of harmOnizing opinions
Mr. Fiuley's constitutional amend
ment resolution, providing for the dis
tribution OF the permanent school fund,
occupied the greater part OF to-day S
session OF the Senate and it was pending
when the Senate adjourned.
The adoption OF the resolution was
advocated by Messrs. Finley, Scott and
Whitaker, aud was opposed by MesSrs.
Patton, Farr and Peck.
A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
The talk Of constitutional conven.
ton is again revived. The matter was
talked Of in the Republican caucus last
night, but there has been as yet no
unsnimity OF opinion on the subject.
The Republican members are afraid the
calling of constitutional convention
would provoke opposition to the party
from the people. 1t is understood that
the Republicans will caucus on it next
week.

VN this nineteenth century it IS fact
that men are not content to sit
4 their lives out working at the foot
stools of others. The mechanic aims
to be master, the painter an artist,
the clerk merchant; and as it is phys
icalIy, so it is intellectually. In the
march of progress we must keep pace
with the leaders or fall back into a
mediocrity utterly inconsistent with
the spirit Of Amerlcanlsm.
In the high position of honor and
trust filled by men not yet in the re-
NTH of their lives, in the well-hIIed
classes in which young men and wo-
men spend the hours of evening IN
study, in the libraries patronlzed to
their fullest capacity and in the smaller
library which is the pride of even the
humbIest American home, there IS
everywhere evidence of the realization
that mind is the ruling power in this
great world.
We have passed the ruder stages of
our civilization. What best enables
man to grapple with living issues; to
discern Improvements and suggest IN
ventions, and to cope with others
whose mental activity makes them
helpful friends and fearful adversaries
that is what tells in life: the more
varied a mans accomplishments, the
greater his possibilities.

TER, suggests and strongly recon-

THOSE WORLDS FAIR MEDALS

Mr.. L. p. Hunt, late superintendent
OF the Minnesota state exhibits at the
Worlds Fair has received many let
tiers of late inquiring why the medals
and diplomas awarded exhibitors at
the exposition were not received. A
few days since Mr.. Hunt wrote to the
chairman of the bureau of awards and
in reply received a letter stating that
the diplomas are being prepared by
the bureau of engraving and printing,
and the medals are being struck off
under the supervision of the director
of the mint. 1t is expected that the
medals will be completed about May
or June next.
If exhibitors will be patient they
will receive their awards in time

Congregational.

At the Congregational church
yesterday, though the choir was some
what disarranged by sickness, the
music was excellent; and notwith-
standing the extreme cold the congre-
cations were good and the day was
profitable one throughout.
In conformity to the general request
of the Educational society, Rev. f.
M. Washburn discoursed on the sub
ject of christian Education" choos-
ing for his text Prov. $40: Gre
ceive my instruction and not silver,
and knowledge rather than choice
gold" The great rush is after
riches, and too many young
men are so anxious to en-
ter some money-making calling that
they are unwilling to wait and abide
the time for proper education. By
far too many parents are more anxious
to leave their children large fortunes
than they are to see them well edu-
Gated for a career of usefulness in the
world and, therefore, that larger hap
pineSs for themselves.
A well rounded education is an in
fnitely better thing for our sons and
daughters than large money, conven-
lent as that is and useful as it may be.
Such an education will enable them
the better to get money rightly and
use it properly; it will enable them to
rightly estimate life's mission and
the more completely and successfully
to fulfill it. To rightly understand
the subject in hand, it is important
to have an adequate definition. Edu-
cation is growth. Christian educa-
tion, therefore, is symmetrical growth.
The Spartans gave all their attention

suit was powerful people so far as

A NEW SAVINGS BANK
To Be Organized in Man
katO at Once.
The Name of the Institution Will Be
the "German American Savings
Bank"==Ample Capital Behind It=-
Where it. May Be Located.

The FREE PRESS is able today to
confirm rumor that has been floating
about the city for week to the effect
that new bank is to be at once or
gained in Mankato.
One of the directors of the proposed
new bank was seen this morning, and
although he is not at present at liberty
to dlyulge any of the names of the
projectors, he stated that beyond a
doubt the bank will be started in
this city and that as soon as loca-
tion can be secured.
The directors will be composed of
some of the wealthiest German-Amer-
leans in the city, and the institu-
tion will have all the backing neces-
sary to make it a success. 1t is not
known just what the capital will be,
but it is believed that S25, 5000 or $780,
600 will be put into it at first. twill
be known as the German-American
Savings bank.
No definite location has been de-
cided upon, although it will neces-
sarily be central, and the projectors
are now negotiating with John Fl.
Ray for lease of the room occupied
by the American Express company.

HE ADVISES PAVING.
City Engineer In His An
nual Report.
Brick Should be the Material USed=-
What Engineers Say of It--As-
pf1aIt Used i'm Large Cities But
Very Expensive.

City Engineer Haynes annual re-
port is in the hands of the printer
and will soon be ready for the public
eye.
1t contains detailed description of
the expenditures and Improvements
during 1894 and is in every way an
able document and will prove of al
most inestimable value to those who
have filled and are filling contracts
with the city.
On the subject of paving Mr..
Haynes is most pronounced, and view
ing the subject as he does from his
point of vantage of an entire familiar
ity with the subject in hand his effort
should carry considerable weight with
the next city council, which will in all
probability deal with this most per-
picking of public questions. He says:
Il do not know that it is necessary
to add much to what has already been
said on the subject of street paving,
but the year has proved forcibly and
conclusively that we cannot postpone
action in this matter much longer.
Our city ranks among the best in the
northwest and enjoys this reputation
abroad, but when [ receive inquiries
from other city engineers about the
kind of paving we use it is notifying
to be compelled to say that we have
not as yet single block of paving.
sour sewer system and our water
works plant are as good as any city
can show and there is no good reason
why our Front street, lined as it is
with business houses for nearly mile,
should not have been paved years ago.
Engineers have watched with much
interest the success of blick pave
ments in the many cities where this
material is used, and the almost uni
versal opinion among experts is in
favor of its use but every article pub
lished upon the subject emphasizes
the fact that great care must be eX-
ercised in selecting and laying only
the best brick to be had. They must
be thoroughly tested and carefully
laid and then the result will be salts
factory. Asphalt pavement is extern
sively used in the larger cities, es-
pecially on residence streets, and is an
excellent material, but very expen-
sive. Cedar blocks makes fine street
and is not expensive, but it's life I'M
der ordinary circumstances is only
seven years.
"There are those who advocate
macadam but we have proved con-
clusively that nearly all of our lime
stone is too soft for this purpose.
1.-THE Telford macadam might do
if we make a wearing surface of crush
ed boulders, but this would be as eX-
pensive in our locality as brick and
not so good"

SOrlE COURT CASES.
The Most Important rlatters for the
March Term.

The adjourned term of the district
court begins Tuesday March 9Th and
a number of important cases are
docketed for trial.
The sewer damage cases against the
Bierbauer brewery will in all proba-
bility come up for hearing. Will
helma Franksen and Mary
Hidde have two suits each in the
same cause. 1t is not believed that
more than two of them, however, will
be reached. VIM. N. Plymat is at
torney for plaintiffs and Pfau & Young
for the defendant.
The damage case of Henry G.. How
ard as administrator of the estate of
John E. Howard, deceased, VS.. the G..
ST. P. M. & o. Ry. Go. will come up
for trial. Howard was fireman on
the Omaha road about two years ago,
and when nearing Lake Crystal one of
the pitmanS on the locomotive broke,
flew into the cab and killed him where
he sat. Pau & Young will prosecute
the case while Hale & Morgan, of
Minneapolis, will defend it.
The local attorneys in the Stein
Saulpaugh case are endeavoring to ar
range date for the argument for a
new trial. In case Stems proposition
is granted by Judge Severance, which
is not believed will be done, the case
would in all events go over to the May
term

BOARD OF TRADE.
Uneventful Session nonday forming
Board of Trade Circulars.

There was a good turnout at the,
board OF trade meeting this morning,
though little business was done.
Secretary Chapman read the annual
report of the secretary and treasurer.
The Washington board of trade in
vites the Mankato board of trade to
make that city their headquarters
when at the capitol. The address is
14l0-1412 G street NV.
Secretary Chapman read circular
letters from the New Yorlz9board of
trade and transportation in which the
local society is requested to cooperate
with them in the defeat of the Bailey
bankruptcy bill. Resolutions to that
effect were printed on the circular.
The same organization wanted the
board to take action on the matter Of
tariff agitation, and resolutions con-
demning the compromise tariff bill
were attached. Circular No. was
the report of the committee on rail-
way transportation regarding the Pat
tersOn pooling bill. The report stated
that opposition to the bill among bust
ness men had been practically with
drawn and that there was practical
unanimity of sentiment in favor of
the bill. The third circular referred
to the matter of stable parity of the
two money metals by general remoni-
tization of silver. All these papers
were tabled.
A Mr.. Griswold outlined his plan of
getting up souvenir work on Manka-
to. He said it would be productive of
much good for the town in the eyes of
the outside world. The views, he
said, would be halftones, printed on
enameled paper. He wanted the
board as individual members to guar
antee him business. No action was
taken and the meeting adjourned.
