The steamer Homer had wild
trip down the coast last week. She
lett Coos bay Friday, when the bar
was so rough that the Czarina and
other vessels did not dare attempt
to put out to sea, and the Czarina
is still bar-bound. The Homer had
10 cabin and three steerage pas
sengers. They did not get wink
of sleep on the entire trip and landed
at San Francisco moIe dead than
alive. Captain Benson says the
weather down the coast was the
toughest he ever met with. Seas
broke over the vessel so strong that
part of the rail was torn away, and
the cabins were all flooded, many
of the doors being broken in.
Some of the berths were still soaked
when the steamer docked.

Must Attend School.

printed to be forwarded to the
various county school superinten-
dents and school boards, calling the
attention of those officials to the
law prescribing compulsory educa-
ton for children of a certain school
age, which law is so heedlessly
violated in every part of the state.
Following is the letter in full:
"The attention of the county
superintendents, and through them,
the attention of the boards ofschool
directors, is called to the following
law pertaining to compulsory educa-
ton:
"Section IS. Every parent, guar
dian, or other person in this state
having control or charge of child
or children between the ages of 8
and ID years, shall be required to
send such child or children to a
public school at least IL weeks in
every year at least eight weeks
school (shalD be consecutive unless
the bodily or mental condition of
such child or children has been as
to prevent his or her or their at
tendance at school or application to
study for the period required, or
unless such child or children are
taught in private school, or at
home in such branches as are usual
ly taught in primary schools, or
have already required the ordinary
branches of learning taught in the
public schools; provided, in case a
school shall not be taught for the
period of IL weeks OF any part
thereof, during the year, within
two miles by the nearest travelled
road of the residence of any person
within the school district, he or she
shall not be liable to the provisions
i of this act.
i "Sec. Sc. Any parent, guardian
i or other person having control OF
\ charge of any child or children fail
4 ing to comply with the provisions
Il of this act shall be liable to a fine oi
Il not less than S. nor more than $2s
i for the first offense, nor less than
H $25 nor more than $50 for the
Il second, and each subsequent offense
Il besides the cost of the prosecution
II "Sec. 81. 1t shall be the duty o1
Il the directors and clerk of each
Il school district to make diligent effort
to see that this law is enforced in
II their respective districts.
II "Sec. 6S. Justices of the peace
j shall have concurrent jurisdiction
with the circuit court in all prose-
cutions under this act"
This office has become aware that
but little or no attention is paid to
the law compelling children to
attend school at least II weeks DUR
ing the year. To look over the
. statistics one is impressed that there
: must be many children of school
age who do not attend our public
schools. This law was enacted for
a purpose, and it is apparent that
; the purpose contemplated was to
have the children attend the public
schools in order that illiteracy and
. ignorance may be reduced to a
minimum.
; The safety and welfare of the
country depend upon the efficiency
of our public schools, wherein not
only knowledge of books and litera-
ture is considered, but where good
government, loyalty and love of
country are inculcated.
The law is on the statute book,
and should not remain dead letter.
The duty of seeing it enforced rests
with the boards of school directors,
and the clerks of the several school

CONTAGIOUS CURRENCY.
Disease Germs Found on Coins
and Bank Notes.
One of the Most serious Menaces to
Public Neutrality-suspicious. Ways In
which the Germs Are
- Transferred.

Public attention has never been d.
rected in an adequate manner To the
dangers which exist in the careless
handling of money. Owing to its rap
idly circulating nature and to the many
uncleanly places in which 1t is COLI
stantly being concealed and carried.
the coin of the realm possesses advar-
tages in the dissemination of infectious
diseases not inherent in any other OBJ
ect OF public utility. For this reason
it should be regarded as a possible
source of contagion at adj times, and
should he handled with the most Sc
rious consideration. But instead of
applying sanitary or common-sense
methods to the necessarily numerous
personal contacts with the circulating
medium, the majority of people show
less discretion in its use than in any
other habit of life. Business men un-
consciously dampen their fingers i'll
their mouths when running through a
package of bills, passengers in the
street cars hold nicl&els in their lips,
and shoppers neglect cuts or abra-
sions on the fingers which touch quaint
ties of change. Yet all Of these foolish
oversight may prove as serious as tho
careless handling of firearm. In both
cases the excuse is the same: Didn't
know it was loaded" Recent expert
ments prove that practically all of the
older coins and bills in circulation are
thoroughly tainted with diseases Of
more or less malignant types. Mods
ard fungi of numerous varieties; cocci,
which included all of the more deadly
blood osoning germs, and baciili o.
several possibly dangerous kinds were
all found in few samples, while the
chance of detecting the organisms Of
the greater number of the contagious
diseases was prevented by the co"d,-
tions of the experiment. More COM
piete and extended tests would doubt
less have shown even more startling re-
suits, while the possibility of finding
germs of an epidemic nature, even in
thu present state of the city's health,
was admitted blythe bacteriologi con
ducting the investigation.
This contaminated condition of the
money in circulation may well be con
sidered one OF the most serious mem
aces TO the public health. Yet a few
simple and common sense precautions
wifi remove the greater part Of the
danger. Clean the unsecured hands,
or gloves worn while shopping, a
reasonable degree of care in holding
money, and above all an avoidance of
putting coins, bills. or fingers in the
mouth or on the lips while engaged IN
commercial pursuits, are easy ways TO
procure safety. With these simple
methods of obtaining security ready at
hand the present widespread violations
of sanitation must result either from
profound ignorance or from an almost
criminal degree of carelessness.-Chi

In China II is believed that people
should pay according to their means.
The one barber in Picking who under
stands the foreign mode Of hair-dr.ss-
ing charges foreign minister 80 cents,
"a secretary of legation'25 cents. and an
unofficial foreigner 10 cents. Natives
pay about half cent for the same serv-
ice. So says Mr.. IIolcOmbc,in his book,
THE Real Chinaman," and he adds this
bit of personal experience:
In passing through Japan l once had
occasion to employ II Chinese chiropo-
dist residing there. His charges, so he
declared, were five cents TO his fellow
Chinese, 10 cents to an ordinary Japan
ese, and 50 cents TO all other foreigners
In the course of the conversation, while
he was at work, he said:
II hear that our Chinese minister
came to this hotel to-day. Do you
know whom he came to see?'
"Oh, yes" said !, ''he came to call on
me"
''Then you must be an Official" said
the Chinaman.
| modestly admitted such to be the
fact, and the conversation drifted to
other subjects. When the mans abors
were concluded he demanded a dollar
in the face of his own statement that his
regular charge to all Foreigners, OK

enforced his claim by this argument:

RELIC FOR ST. JOHNS.
Iona Cathedral In Scotland Originally
Owned the Interesting Shrine.

Iona Cathedral In Scotland Originally
Owned the Interesting Shrine.
The new Cathedral of st. John the
Divine, in New York, is to have por-
ton of the relic from Iona cathedral
that is imbedded in the old-shrine of
st. Andrews, Willow Acre, Glasgow.
Bishop Potter and the trustees Of the
new cathedral met in the soc house in
Lafayette place to receive it from John
w. Wood, general secretary OF the
Brotherhood of st. Andrew, and Silas
McBee, vice president Of the brother
hood. While in Scotland last summer
the Rev. Andrew Mitchell, rector Of st.
Andrews, showed them tho relic. They
suggested at once that two pieces be
Clipped from it, one to be imbedded in
the altar Of the new cathedral and one
in the altar Of the new chapel which is
building at the University Of the South
at Suwanee. At their instigation, Bish-
op Potter made formal request for the
pieces, which was granted.
1t is believed that the st. Andrews
relic from which these pieces were
taken is the only piece Of the historic
shrine in existence. The relic was taken
from Iona by DR.. Anderson of Edin-
burgh in 1878, when he visited the
Hebrides and Iona in company with DIR.
Saul Johnson. 1t lay ticketed but un-
noticed in the museum Of the Anderso-
nian university, Edinburgh, until 1872,
when the Rev. DIR. Gordon, then rector
of st. Andrews, found it and took it to
his church in Glasgow. The relic will
be imbedded in the altar of the new
cathedral. New York Sun.

AIR MOTORS FOR MAIL.
Chicago Leads the Way In a Great Time
Saving Fashion.

The Chicago postoffice is to have the
quickest delivery service In the world.
Tricycles, driven by compressed air, are
being constructed and put in operation.
Postmaster Hesing has studied fo1
months over the, new motor and has
made tests OF the trial machine. He pro
nounced it a success. 1t will, it is
thought, be able to get over the ground
at q rate of 10 or ~ miles an hour. The
plan has been kept secret by the postof.
flee authorities, and also by its inventor,
Mr. Hartley, who lives in Chicago, as il
was feared when put to the final test the
motor might not prove a success.
Frederick f. Stoll, superintendent OF
the city delivery, has worked for months
with Inventor Hartley in developing the
machine. He says:
''For Is months have been endeavor.
ing to provide our Office with better de-
livery facilities, and during my efforts
to hit upon something have written
and consulted with scores Of inventors.
Nothing seemed practicable until took
hold of Mr.. Hartley's new patent.

the last three months made several
trips ON the trial machine and found
that it worked admirably. Our only mo-
tor power was a small bottle of com
pressed air, but it was sufficient, and
the machine went over the ground at q
surprising rate. All had to do was to
sit on the seat and pull back the lever,
and that little bottle Of compressed air
did the rest.
"Mr. Hartley, its inventor, is poor
man, but we have found backing foI
him and intend to give his machine q

FREE CURE FOR men.

tion which will cure them OF any form OF
nervous debility; relieves them OF all the
doubt and uncertainty which such men
are peculiarly liable to and restores the
organs to natural size and viRor. AS 1t
costs nothing to try the experiment It
would seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
deeply interested In a remedy which VIII
restore them to health, strength and vigor,
without which they continue to live an
existence Of untold misery. AS the remedy
In question was the result OF macy yesrs'
research as to what combination wo1ld be
peculiarly effective In restoring to men
the strength they need, 1t would seem that
all men suffering with any form OF nerv-

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.


MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 2O.-At the opening
this morning the wheat market was weak,
and ruled lower than Saturday for the first
fifteen minutes. There were orders on hand
to sen at the opening, but the anxiety shown
by a few shorts to cover quickly changed the
temper of the pit and a quick advance of a
the market held fairly steady for nearly an
hour, weakened a little, losing Ac from the
top, and ruled strong but not active up to
noon. The reason for the weak opening was
undoubtedly due more to a sympathy with
the market at Chicago than anything else,
but there were other factors which caused a
nervous feeling. On the whole the specula-
tive trading was more active today than for
some time past, with the sentiment gaining
ground that we have had a sufficient break
for the present and that a rally is due. There
is. however, a strong element that is bearish,
and believe that prices should go a little
lower before we can have a healthy market.
There are rumors afloat that the exporters
have been larger purchasers than reported,
for instance. on Friday last it was reported
