SPECIAL BOARD MEETING.
The School Board Asks Mr.. Stead
well to Explain.
He Qualities Some of His Remarks
Hade at Sundays Meeting.

AT the request Of Superintendent
Kenaston, a special meeting of the
school board was held late Monday
afternoon to hear what Mr.. Steadwell
had to say in regard to the charges of
immoralty in the public and high
schools made by him at the public
meeting Sunday afternoon held at
the Baptist church to organize a So
cial Purity League. This statement
had created a good deal of talk and
unfavorable comment, especially as
Mr.. Steadwell had announced that
his information had been received
from the teachers.
Dr. Davis and MessrS. Parry, Flet-
cher and Jones were present at the
meeting, besides Messrs. Kenaston
and Steadwell and the high school
teachers.
Mr.. Steadwell was called upon to
repeat the statement made at the
Sunday meeting, which he did. He
disclaimed any intention of rejecting
on the schools, but referred to the
fact that in the public schools of all
cities there are some pupils morally
deficient and who are in that regard
menace to the others, and he be-
lieved Mankato was no exception.
The lady teacher from whom Mr..
Steadwell had claimed to have receiv-
ed the information upon which he
had made the statement told just
what she did say. She. had asked Mrs.
Steadwell to give talk to the girls
in regard to some things which their
mothers should have taught them
but of which they were ignorant.
This was all there was to it.
Principal Searles said that Mr..
Steadwell would have done better to
have allied himself with the reform
agencies of the city instead of anita
gOnizing some of them, as his course
| had done. He thought that Mr..
Steadwell had betrayed confidence
reposed by teacher in himself and
wife, in quoting her as his authority
for statements made in public meet
ing. He thought thatrit was due the
school that Mr.. Steadwell make re.
| traction.
Mr.. Fletcher said that six of his
children had gone through the
schools. He had been very obser-
want, and thought that there was lit.
tie ground for the statement made.
In reply to question from Mr..
Parry, Mr.. SJeadwell stated that he
had been in the city but three weeks.
Mr.. Parry thought that short time
to learn enough upon which to base
an opinion.
DR.. Davis said that his medical
practice had brought him into con.
tact with very many of che homes Of
the city, and he thought the standard
of morality among the high school
pupils above the average.
Mr.. Jones also thought that Mr.
Steadwell had gone to work at the re-
form movement in this city in the
wrong way. The movement was
good one, but he had been
very injudicious in what he had SAID
and done.
Mr.. Steadwell promised to make q
statement to the public.

Supt. Kenaston interviewed.

Supt. Kenaston, after reading Mr..
Stead wells statement, was asked
whether he could add anything on the
general subject, now that it has been
opened up. He replied:

Mr. and Mrs. Steadwell are trying to
do, but we have reason to complain

The sale of the Indian lands to the
government and their occupation by
reputable white settlers, all through
that Oklahoma district, would be a
good thing for Kansas and Missouri
and Arkansas and Texas. The out
laws in that territory, who make life
all along the borders of the adjacent
states not worth living, would have to
take their departure for other locali-
ties, perhaps move out west and grow
up with the country, if once that re-
gion came under the civilizing influ-
ences of settlement by the agricultural
classes. That whole region is the fruit
full womb in which is born and reared
and trained and hidden from pursuit
the train robber and the bank robber
and the highwayman. The latest from
that section is the robbery of the post
office at the Sac and Fox agency with
all the cash and no end of valuable
mail matter. There is little hope of
the gang being captured.

Tewfik Pasha is the biggest man in
old Europe today. Not excepting Bis
marck, there never was another diplo-
mat who so defied the ambassadors of
the other powers, kept them dangling
at his coat tails like orderlies, absolute
ly refused on any and all occasions
to consider the propositions made to
him and in the face of all opposition
maintained his ground and intrenched
himself in the territory he had been
ordered to vacate. Whatever may be
the final result it will not detract hair
from the reputation that Twefik Pasha
has already gained, of being the
shrewdest head that wears a diplomats
hat in all Europe.

The one result of the strike that is to
be feared is the violence that will fol-
low if the settlement is not peaceably
made and new men are brought into
the mining regions. A man is not al
ways accountable for his actions when
he sees his bread and butter in jeop-
ardy and his wife and babies starving.
Government has some obligations that
it owes to these ignorant, hard work.

very least it should compel the mine
operators to submit their troubles to
