A man who has been catching gophers
out on the north levee came into the

that four days ago he saw a man go
into a car on the spur near Brighton,
where the empty cars are stored, and
shut the door.
He had not seen the man since, and
the door still remained closed. Yes
terday, however, he saw blood around
the car. He did not make any inves-
tigation, but on his arrival in the city
simply mentioned the fact to a friend.

OF Education presents some curious
and interesting facts with regard
to illiteracy in the United States.
This information is derived main
ly from official records and de-
serves careful attention. 1t ap-
pears that the number of persons
over 10 years of age who cannot
read and write is 1924 O2, OF
1873 per cent of the total popula-
ton, according to the latest stat
istics. In 1880 the rate of litter
acy was II per cent, and a de-
crease of 81 per cent since that
time is gratifying in the sense that
implies gradual Improvement; but
the situation is still lamentable,
and no good citizen can contemp-
late it without experiencing GER
tain degree of humiliation. Our
government is based upon the idea
Of popular intelligence as an assur-
ance of political safety and pros
perity, and vast sums of money
are expended for educational pur-
poses. There is really no excuse
ror ignorance in a country where
free schools abound and instruc-
ton is within easy reach of all
classes. Nevertheless, over 13 out
Of every 100 Of our people are I'M
able to read and write. This great
army of illiteracy is a standing re-
proach, as well as menace, and
there is no more important duty
than that of reducing is as rapidly
as possible. There was time
when New England led all the rest
of the country in the general av-
erage of popular intelligence; but
this is no longer true. 1t is now
in the west and not in the east,
that the best showing is made as
to the education of the masses.
Nebraska stands at the head of the
states in point of literacy, only g.
per cent of its population being
unable to read and write. No
state west of the Mississippi river,
with the exception of the four
Southern states, ranks as low as
Massachusetts, in the number of IL
literates in its population. This
means, Of course and the fact is
a very significant one that large
percentage of the educated element
of the east has removed to the
west, thereby materially modify
ING it's ''wild and woody" condit-
ion; and it means furthermore
that the west has been doing a
great deal in the enlargement of
it's educational facilities. The
public schools of such states as
Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Nebras-
ka and the Dakotas are equal in
every respect to those of any of
the Eastern States, and their &C
ademies and universities are rem
dering effective service in the
sphere of higher learning. So far
as the south is concerned, allow
ance must be made for the pres
ence of the colored race, the illit-
crate members of which constitute
nearly one-half of the total num-
Der of illiterates in the United
States; but even with this serious
drawback, the southern states are
making substantial gains in edu-
cation, and the conditions promise
an acceleration of such progress
from year to year.

and also has a host of friends on
the Vermilion who would be
pleased to see him represent
them. The Evelcth CORES
pondent Of the Duluth News rib-
une in writing up the situation for
that sheet, says that Neil McInnis
has whetted his glittering blade
and declares by all that is in the
iron mines that he will return if
the people want him to. The lit
tie fornality of placing him in
nomination is what Neil is the
most anxious about at the present
time. From information CLEANED
by persistent inquiry and careful
investigation, the conclusion is in
evitable that he will have a mighty
hard time to hold his job. Mr..
McInnis has the following to say
regarding his candidacy. II want
it understood that l do not desire
to go back as the representative of
any faction. | think that the work
| performed in the last session of
the legislature entities me to re-
election and if the people of Du-
luth are satisfied and want me re-
turned [ am candidate for the
nomination. The work of the
coming session will be the most
important that has been held for a
number of years and it will require
a delegation from st. Louis county
that has had experience in legisla-
tive affairs. [ refer with pride to
the part | took in the fight for the
location of the state normal and
many other measures that were of
great Importance to St. Louis
county" The sentiment in Vir-
ginia and Eveleth prevails, says
the correspondent, that McInnis
cannot secure a delegation from
the Mesaba range.
IF the people Of Duluth are
satisfied and want me returned, l
am a candidate for the nomina-
ton. Neil McInnis.
Surprising the people of Duluth
were satisfied and the Vermilion
and Mesaba ranges were not,
would Mr.. McInnis become can
didate! Several delegates from
the two ranges have seat in the
convention before which the repre-
sentative candidates names will be
presented and some of the ranges
delegates may give Mr.. McInnis
the ''cold shoulder" But then, as
long as the people eff Duluth are
the present incumbent
will become a candidate. Duluth
is St. Louis county according to
Mr.. McInnis and by reason of his
normal school efforts, he feels GER
tain of the nomination. There
may also be a bare possibility that
the people of Duluth may not fall
all over each other to place Neil in
nomination and coupled with the
resistance his candidacy will find
on the ranges, may retire the
member to private life.
