SCHLATTER, THE HEALER He Probably Is Now in
 Arizona. Is Last Seen Near Silver City,
 New Mexico. Apparently Bound for Mexico Cures by the Laying On
 of Hands,.

Silver City Sentinel: The world re- nowned Schlatter, the Healer, who so
 mysteriously dropped out of sight, af- ter passing through Albuquerque a few months since, went into seclusion
 at the home of lady of theosophic tendencies, who owns cattle ranch in the central part of Socorro county, New Mexico, near the Datil range of mountains. There he remained se- cured from intrusion until Hon. W. F.. Martin of Socorro discovered and dis closed his whereabouts to the press. To avoid the attention thus turned to- ward him he left his retreat and trav- eled southwest, taking devious and obscure trails to avoid observation, which he succeeded in doing until last Wednesday, when he arrived at the sheep ranch of Mrs. P. Kelly on the Frisco river in bhe western part of So- zorro county. He remained at this isolated ranch during the day and un- til o'clock Friday morning, when he took his departure, traveling south west along the Frisco river, reaching the town of Alma, fifteen miles dis tant from the ranch, at o'clock a. m
 Here he was recognized by his photo graphs recently published in the news papers. The news soon went to Mo gollon, which is only seven miles dis tant. George Barrup, a miner, who was severely afflicted with rheumatism immediately went to Alma and had the healer go through lihe usual perform ance of holding hands, which he claims relieved him from pains which he was suffering. Mrs. Geo. Roberts, wife of g well known resident of Alma, was seriously afflicted and claims to have been entirely cured by the same pro cess. The healer only remained al Alma fw hours and continued his journey southWard, accompanied by his patient, Barrup, on horseback. Al Pleasanton, eight miles south of Alma
 Schlatter waited upon the Swear -olG daughter of William Goddard, who k afflicted with straibismus. He per formed his usual laying on of hands and told the girl and her parents tha1 if the girl had sufficient faith, her eyes would be cured in thirty days. From
 Pleasanton the healer was accompa-

State Republicans WILL Accept the
 National Platform.

OMAHA, April 16-The state con- vention of Nebraska Republicans which met last night selected four del egates to the National convention who were instructed to support Mckinley passed the following plank in its plat form:
 "We pledge ourselves in advance to the platform of the forthcoming Re publican National vention, believ- ing it will declare against the free and unlimited coinage of silver and a cur rency of gold, silver and paper as sound as the government and as un- tarnished as its honor and for that American system of protection and reciprocity of which William McKin- ley is the best living exponent, and under which our people attained the greatest National and individual pros perity."

Reed Endorsed Along With the Gold

PORTLAND, Me, April 16.-Wild enthusiasm almost unequalled in the history of Republican politics in this state shown in the convention for the nomination of delegates to the Ma tional convention was he'd here today. The enthusiasm centered about the name of Thos. B. Reed, the unanimous choice of the convention as a candidate for president. Every reference ito Reed called forth demonstrations.
 Hannibal E. Hamlin was chosen chairman and made a speech in the advocacy of protection and "honest money" At his mention of Reeds name the cheering continued, ever in- creasing in strength for fully five min utes-

THE RISING GENERATION Children in Plenty in
 Arizona. Rise of the School Census in
 Phoenix. PsculiarIties ot the Arizona School
Pscuiiarlties ot the Arizona School Law that Should Be
 Rectified.

Arizona in the outside world is gen. orally pictured as a land where the casual individual goes around as 8 walking arsenal and where the popu- ,ation is almost entirely masculine, where the comforts of home are but a memory in minds that yearn after tine homestead "back east,' and where a child is a rare sight, ito be idolized by the rude and unkempt cowboy and miner.
 The idea, erroneous and distorted at even the earliest era of the territory, has mot its least element Ok error in the picture of the solitary child, fav- ored as the topic of so many an eastern writer's frontier tales. Few are tfe cities in the United States that have a greater proportion of homes than Phoenix, and the supply of children is fairly phenomenal. The Stree's swarm with them, robust and lOud-voiced, and visit ito the common schools of the district is a revelation to the new l conner.
 The school census is now proceeding. In almost every one of the forty seven districts of Maricopa county the cen sus marshals are at their work, the officials performing the task in Phoe- nix being Mrs. J. w. Kincaid and Pro lessor J. D. James. It is expected that the precinct, which is now of small ex- tent, will show at least 400 children of school age, @ gain of about 300 from the previous year. The estimate is borne out by the statistics of attend ance, there having, been at one time in the local public schools 1,1o3 pu- pills, as against 749 average attendance for the previous term.
 ! The statistics for ahs county are not to be had, but that gain has been re- markable in the rural districts as 1 we'll There has been D gain of four school districts during the year, as well as of one high school district, and the attendance has T;sen, what with immigration and what EliJh The growth of the infant population.
 The main subject about this time among the school districts is the ap- pointment of teachers for l5he ensuing term. Many of the districts natural 1 ly desire to keep the instructor of the previous term ybut there is doubt as ito whether the law will allow of an ap- p0.ntment till after the new trustee shall have taken his seat Thus is presented the spectacle of districts with even a. supernuIneTary trustee, and yet a doubt as to the legality of an appointment. There would appear to be room for improvement ill the word |, jects.
 The supply of eeaGhefc is ample, more than ample, in fact, and every mail brings to trustees or l;uperiatend- ent letters by the doZea from instruct ors who gladly W7ouii ic!hange their lot. Preference is given, however, to Arizona teachers and the eastern ap- plicant would as well save her stamps.

nature Of a shock to the majority OF
people. In the first place Mr.. Austin
lacks the celebrity which some half
dozen other English poets already
possess he is not widely known or
read-but his recent elevation may
be depended upon to change the attl-
tude of the public both in England
and this country-and although a
scholarly mar his writings are not OF
that kind which naturally make their
way as masterpieces.
There has been little commenda.
ton OF the appointment in England,
and naturally while Mr.. Swinburne
lives there will be a very strong feel
ing that to him belonged the office
by right OF genius,
The effect OF Mr.. Austin's becoming
Poet Laureate will certainly be to
create an immediate demand for his
works, which are numerous, and the
English reading people will speedily
become familiar with them.
After Southey, Wordsworth and
Tennyson, the last incomparably the
greatest man who has worn the !au-
rels, Mr.. Austin must needs produce
noble work if he would avoid having
scorn cast upon the ancient office.
1t remains to be seen whether fresh
inspiration will be impaired by rea-
son of the official position, or if the
mantle of the first Alfred will fall in
any measure upon the second. The
best that has been said for the ap,
pointment is that it might have been

England and the TransvaaI Raid.


Whether the failure of the Colonial
office to stop the publicly discussed
and deliberately organized attempt
of Jameson's rufians to invade a
peaceful state and overthrow a
friendly government, should be i'm.
puted to a lack of will or lack of
sense, the result is the same from the
viewpoint of natural equity and of
International law. The species of
s%uzerainty which the Transvaal con-
coded to England by the treaties Of
1881 and 1884, did not merely con.
fer a right, but also imposed a duty
upon the latter power. By neglect
ing to discharge the one England has
lost the other. The Beers, finding
England unable for one reason or
another to shield them from piratical
raids even on the part of her own
subjects, are at perfect liberty to re-
gard as abrogated that clause of the
treaties of 1881 and 1884 which
makes England the intermedium of
their relations with foreign powers.
They would be unworthy of the lib.
critics which they have won against
great odds, if they did not now re.
pudlate the last token of dependence
on a power which has allowed the
clam of suzerainty to serve as a
screen for encroachment and be-
trayal. The events of the last ten
days have shown that it is high time
for the Transvaal to arrive at a
friendly understanding with some
European nation strong enough to
intimidate outsiders, and honest
enough to restrain its subjects from
knavish and predatory plots against
an allied commonwealth.
In their urgent need of such a
friend it was natural that the Hol.
landers should turn to Germany
whose interests in South Africa are
identical with theirs, and many
thousands of whose citizens have set.
tied in the Transvaal. 1t is to the
high honor of Kaiser William III. tina,
they have not turned to him in vain

A DELEGATE FROM ALASKA.

The New York Sun takes strong
exception to Gen. CIRCUITS bill to pro.
vide representation in congress for
Alaska. The Sun says:
This measure authorizes the Secretary
of the Interior ito detail the governor
or secretary Of Alaska for attendance
upon any regular or special session of
congress as a delegate in the house OF
representatives." The officer thus des-
ignated is to have the same privileges as
those enjoyed by territorial delegates
together with mileage, but no salary nor
any share in the distribution OF public
documents. Furthermore, the secretary
OF the interior may revoke the designa-
ton at any time.
The principle Of the bill is radically OBJ
jectionable, in that it seeks to allow an
officer who is not elected by the people to
participate in the deliberations Of con.
gress.
Territorial delegates are all elective Of
fcers. Every territory" say the revised
statutes, shall have the right to send a
delegate to the house of representatives
of the United States, who shall be elected
by the voters in the territory qualified to
elect members ofthe Legislative assembly"
This provision, however, cannot apply
to a region like Alaska, which has no
legislative assembly, Indeed, Alaska is
called an unorganized territory in the re-
vised statutes of the United States, and
the act Of congress providing a civil gov
eminent for the country in 1884 created
"a civil and judicial district" not a ter
ritory,
But whatever may be the correct legal
term descriptive of Alaska's relation to
the union, she must not be represented in
congress by a delegate appointed and re-
movable at will by Hoke Smith.

II USES OF CORN.

The great variety of thingsgood to
eat that may be made from corn in
its different forms is surprising to one
who first learns of them, but when it
is said that the maple sugar industry
is threatened with a rival in syrup
made from corn cobs, we think we
will ''bide a wee" before we come to
the conclusion that the latest expert
ment is going to be a success.
a farmer named Frank Shafer, of
Lacon, ILL.,, had been trying vainly
tor a long time to put the cob to some
practical use, but without much sue
cess until recently. While boiling a
batch OF cobs he happened to taste
the water in which they were being
cooked, and was Immediately struck
by the similarity between the taste
OF the extract of the corr cobs and the
genuine maple syrup. There was a
little lacking in saccharine matter and
coloring, however, and Mr.. Shafer
used ordinary brown sugar in the
corr cob extract until he had the
syrup to his liking, and then he wa.
convinced he had found commercial
use for the corn cob.
A few further experiments wer,
necessary to determine exact uuan
titles, and Mr.. Shafer took a sampl,
of his new product to town and ex
perts declared 1t to be maple syrup
1t was produced in the followin,
manner Twelve clean cobs were pu
in a gallon of water and boiled unit
soft. Then the juice was strained OF
and a gallon of dark brown suga
solution added. This was boiled
little while, resulting in a fine qualit,
OF syrup, hardly distinguishable fror
the maple product.
Such is the story, but we still pc,
sist in believing that maple sap draw.
from maple trees will make the favor
lite article in maple sugar.

really discovered a serum combating

any medical discovery it is best to

Closer trade relations with Venez.
uela are loudly called for. 1t has
recently been observed that that
country imports from England and
her colonies much more than she
does from the United States. The
state of affairs is that we buy from
Venezuela and she buys from Eng.
land, and this does not appear to be
quite fair.
