Among the many theories advanced
for retrenchment by the SCHOOL board
i'll st. Paul was the proposition to drop
the kindergarten departments. The
Rioneer Press of recent date gives a
fine editorial on the question. They
do not hesitate to say that it would be
an attack at the foundation of modern
education. There is no doubt that
many unnecessary and expensive fads
have worked their way into our public
school system, but the kindergarten
does not come in under this head.

Experiment with Marked salmon.

Last year 26 salmon, caught after
4 freshet at boom IN the Weser river,
near Oeynhausen, were marked by in
Producing numbered clamp of the
kind used to fasten papers together in
the large fin on the back. Circulars
were then sent by the German fish COM
missioners to all people interested
along the river that these &c salmon had
been returned to the river, and in the
interest of pisciculture it would be de-
sirable to know when, where and at
what weight the fish were caught
again. Until recently but two of these
fish had been caught. one of which had
assembled the river fully Is miles, while
the other was caught at considerable
distance below the point where they
were first taken and returned to the
wet element. Both of them had III
creased in weight and size, the respec-
tive data having been given to the fish
commissioners. Two weeks ago three
of the fish were caught together by ono
fisherman at the mouth of the Weser
river, where at this season salmon will
ascend the stream in schools. Consid-
ering that it is nearly year and a hall
since these fish were returned to the
river it is certainly very strange that
three of them should be found togethe,

BILL TAYLOR HANGED.

ExPresaing Confidence that He was Co
Ing Straight TO Heaven-yaylor's
Last Statement.

CARRoLLTON, No., May William
r. Taylor. convicted with his brother
{ George for the murder of the Meeks
family near Browning, No., on the
night of May 10. 1894, suffered the ex-
streme penalty of the law at 1856 a. m.
In ten minutes after the drop fell
the life that sacrificed four human
beings in its lust for gain was extinct,
and he died like martyr. No man
ever looked less the murderer than did
he as he stood there on the scaffold
pale in death itself. swaying backward
and forward with the rush of his emo
tions. and yet calm and cold and brave.
Even his enemies, bitter as they are
against him, marveled at the courage
of a man who so foully murdered a
woman and her little children.
From the sheriff's standpoint the
execution went off without hitch.
There were no delays It was perfect,
and SO dramatic in its circumstantial
features that men who have seen a
dozen others die on the scaffold
4uivered and shook at the tragedy.

RISING FROM HER ASHES.

Cripple Creek Bids Fair to Become tho
Phoenix of the Far West-Help at Hand
and Hope Reviving.
CRIPPLE CREEK, Col, May AT the
two camps over 1000 people were fed
this morning, the breakfast consisting
of meat, coffee, hot cakes and other
substantial viands.
The number of tents is sufficient to
accommodate all who are in need of
aid. Most everybody enjoyed a solid
nights rest last night and awoke this
morning refreshed and encouraged.
Mayor Steel stated this morning that
he did not believe there were any
bodies in the ruins of the Portland
hotel or other burned structures in
the neighborhood. Charles Griffith
and the unknown man shot during the
fire are so far the only dead.
Incendiarism IS still a popular belief
as to the cause of the fire, and many
wild threats are made against the al
legged firebugs should they be appre-
hended.
All INDECENT Cripple Creek sufferers
have been granted by the railroads
running out of the burned camp rate
of one cent per mile or one-fifth of the
regular fare applying in Colorado.
The prices asked for commodities
to-day were very reasonable, and no
exorbitant rates were the rule. Re s..
taurants and ca ting houses are open
ing up as fast as they can procure tenn
porary quarters. The saloons do not
appear to be thriving TO any great ex-
tent, as the people are inclined to be
orderly and quiet.
Building material, furniture and
merchandise are now coming in by the
car load, and contributions of food and
clothing are sufficient for present
needs.

PROFOUND SENSATIONS.

Created In London by the Published Evf-
| denee of Conspiracy TO Overthrow the
Boer Government. And the Extent e
Which Prominent Public OnclaIs sind
the British south African Co. Were Com
.cerned-Press Comments.
LONDON, May Alt would be difficult
to overestimate the sensation which
has been caused in England by the
pu blication of the substance of the
kilograms and documents which have
come into the possession of the author
tiles of the South African Republic.
The weight of evidence which they
furnish against persons to whom
| they were addressed and by
whom they were signed, of being
engaged in conspiracy to over
throw the Transvaai government, is
admitted to be crushing. The opinion
of the press very generally condemns
them. But strenuous efforts are made
to prevent a sweeping condemnation
of the authorities of Cape Colony.
The Times, in an editorial ON the
subject. says:
SIT is impossible to ignore the gravi-
ty of the conclusion to which the pub.
iished kilograms point. They establish
beyond the possibility of doubt that
Hon. Cecil Rhodes, the then premier
of Cape Colony; Mr.. Alfred Belt, a die
rector in the British South Africa Co,
and Mr.. Rutherford Harris, secretary
of the British South Africa Co., were
privy to the movement against johann
nesburg, and that the leaders of
the movement counted upon their
help and countenance to insure
its success. The kilograms must
be taken to prove that Mr..
Rhodes approved the revolution which
was desired in johannesburg, but
nothing in the correspondence goes to
show that the actual Crossing of the
frontier by DIR. Jameson. under the cir
cumstances under which it occurred,
was known to Mr.. Rhodes and carried
out with his approval The reasons
which actuated DR.. Jameson in cross
ing the frontier when he did remain
shrouded in mystery. His conduct
awaits the explanation he may have te
give at his trial.
The Star, in an article commenting
on the cipher dispatches which were
entered as evidence at the trial of the
members Of the reform committee at
Pretoria, urges the immediate arrest
of Cecil Rhodes.
The Westminster Gazette counsels
the resignation of those comprising the
ma nagement of the British South
Africa Co., and their withdrawal from
public life, for a time. at least.
The St. James Gazette says that the
government must be prepared to meet
demand for the trial of Cecil Rhodes
and the revocation of the charter of
the British South Africa Co.
The Pail Mall Gazette says it is now
impossible to talk about the severity
of the Beers in the face of the revela-
tions made by the cipher dispatches
just exposed.
The governments orders to Gen.
Darlington, commanding the British
forces in Malta beleland. and Sir Richard
e. r. Martin, administrator of the po-
lice in Bechuanaland, Matabeleland
and Mashonaland, who replace the Off.
GERS of the chartered company in the
administration of affairs in Rhodesia,
have just been published. The orders
forbid the British officers and men to
hold shares in any South African
venture,

BERLIN INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION
Formally Opened by the Emperor, Who

BERLIN, May 2.-The Berlin Indus

complete. The weather was bright
and clear and the crowds large
and enthusiastic. The emperor and
empress, the latter attired in a
green dress, arrived at the
grounds on board the imperial yacht
Alexandria. and were heartily cheered.
The kaiser appeared to be in one of his
most serious moods. He made nc
speech, as it was expected he would do
and merely said ''Yes" in reply to the
formal question whether his majesty
would permit the opening of the ex
hibition. Freiherr Won Berlepsche
