There is a movement among educa-
tors in Utah TO have the school cleo
lions TO be held next July merely a
matter of formality so far as the choice
of county superintendent is concerned
! The plan is to have the trustees of all
the school districts in a county get to-
gether in convention and name a can
didate for school superintendent of the
| county.
Political parties could then endorse
this candidate or at least put no other
! in the field, and at the regular election
! this choice of the trustees would be
ratified at the polls.
1t is argued that the intent of the
| school law when il placed the election
of the county superintendent in July,
was for the express purpose of remov-
/ ing the school election from the strife
of politics, and this plan would still
further accomplish the result desired.
mo political party" it is urged, can
afford to get its nominating and cam
paign machinery at work for this one
Office, and no candidate can, for the
salary paid, afford to conduct cam
paign for election"
There will be an election in each pre-
cinct to elect not only county super
intendent, but q trustee for that pre-
clnct 1t is also argued that the plan
is similar to that followed now in cities
where the boards of education select
the superintendent. The plan, il is said,
originated at the state convention last
summer in Prove, when a number of
educators talked the matter over in
formally and asked one of their num-
Der to address a letter to various PROM
inent educators throughout the state,
and ask them to address a communica-
ton to Superintendent Park on the sub

favor the plan.
At this meeting there were Superin-
tendents Van Colt. of Salt Lake; Old
ham, of Cache; Porter, of Davis; Mel
son, of Sanpete; Hall, of Weber, and
Marks. of Tooele.
AS a consequence several school men
have of late received copies of a circu-
lar letter recommending certain legisla-
ton in the interests of the schools, and
at the close was a postscript reading
about as follows:
THE intent of the school law in plac-
ing the election of county superinten-
dents in July was to prevent, as much
as possible. political strife in that
election Do you not believe the OBJ
ject would be attained, if the trustees
of each county would meet and nomi-
nate candidate for superintendent in
stead of leaving il to political parties?
The trustees are representative citi-
zens of each district, they are better
acquainted with suitable candidates
than any other persons, and l believe
they could be relied on in every county
to nominate a suitable person for su-
perintendent
This would be in accord with the
admirable plan used in our cities, and
it would prevent the expense and strife
of political intervention.
IF you favor this, please unite in
asking Superintendent Park to make
such a recommendation to the school
officers of the state
President ]. NJ. Tanner. Professor
Stewart, Professor Kingsbury, Presi-
dent Kerr and a number of others are
thought to favor the plan and some are
known to have addressed Superinten-
dent Park on the subject.

The specimen Mr.. Gillian carries is a

isolated piece of quartz, different in
character from any of the gravel about
it, and of course was float that has been
covered up by ages of sediment.

the First brigade, / \. G., asking if it
was true, as stated by Colonel Marcus

Seventh infantry, that he had granted
permission to the latter to parade his
command on St. Patricks day, and if
true, to explain by what authority per-

Brigadier General Wheeler said that
he had granted permission to Colonel

BOGUS GOVERNMENT CHECKS.
About Half a Million Represents st.
Paul's Loss.

St Paul, Mimi, March 25.-James H.
Southall, accused of indefinitely large
transactions in bogus government
time checks, is now an inmate of the
county jail. No bail has been offered.
ToGay's Dispatch alleges that two
officers of the engineering department
were in st. Paul a year ago and inter
viewed Southall, who acknowledged
that he had issued about $4,000 worth
of the time checks. Southall promised
repentance and was allowed immunity.
Eut, unfortunately, he was also allowed
to remain in the Office of the engineer in
St Paul, and from that vantage point
renewed his industry.
The estimate of the total volume of
the checks is still half a million or
something less. Reports are coming in,
and so far the total is less than $500, 600,
81 far as the issues have been dis
closed.
It is said that the government has is
sued no time checks such as those ne
gotiated by Southall since 1890, and all
bearing any date later than that year
arc declared to be bogus.

FOR SWEET CHARITY
MEETING TO ORGANIZE A VISIT
ING NURSES ASSOCIATION.
Held at the Ladies' Literary Club
House-Temporary Officers Chosen
Funds Pledged and Expected.

The laudable purpose of number of
prominent workers in charity minis
trations to organize a visiting nurses
association, the need of which is sorely
felt in Salt Lake City, was given a
gratifying impetus last evening at a
called meeting held in the club house of
the Ladies' Literary club. The meet
ing was well attended by representa-
tives of the several charity organiZa-
tions. Mrs. Kenyon was chosen to pre-
side. A free discussion was had of the
manifest necessity of providing the ser
vices of trained nurses in INDECENT
households, where sickness, want and
suffering frequently are attended with
fatal and pathetic consequences. In
the Judgment Of we'll informed persons,
many an innocent life is needlessly sac
rificed because of lack of proper nurs-
ing, and without dissent it was resolved
that much effective relief can be ac-
! cOmplished by organized effort on lines
of charity.
THE TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION.
A temporary organization was eff
fected with Mrs. Kenyon as president,
Mrs Maynard, vice president; Mrs.
Critchlow, secretary; Mrs Sol Siegel,
assistant secretary, and Miss Mackin-
tOsh, treasurer. An advisory board Will

FUNDS PLEDGED AND EXPECTED.
When the question of ways and means
was preached, Miss HOughton an
nounced her readiness to raise s. per
month from her friends; Mrs. May
nard gave the assurance that her efforts
would yield as much; Mrs. Kenyon
pledged herself to induce the
Ladies Literary club to furnish
an equal sum, and she doubted
not that the other women's
clubs would respond with suitable con-
tributions; Mrs. Grant H. Smith stated
that the trained nurses from St. Marks
hospital would subscribe S. monthly,
and Mrs. Critchlow assured her CO.
workers that she knew how, with the
aid of her friends, to substantially aid
in the promotion and maintenance of
the cause. Mrs. Kenyon also announced
that the city and the county would give
monetary assistance and that several
physicians could be relied upon to not
only render their services free in cases
such as the worthy ones under con-
sideration, but also to help financially.
The temporary officers Will arrange a
plan of canvassing systematically for
monthly subscriptions for the mainten-
ance of the relief work. The meeting
adjourned subject to the call of the
president.

BUDDHA'S BONES.

Some remarkable Buddhist antiqui- ties recently discovered in India have been described in the Allahebad Pio- neer by MT Vincent Smith, well known antiquary.
 Some years ago the discovery of an inscribed pillar, erected in the third century, indicated with certainty the site of Kapilavastu, the home of Gaut- anna Buddha, who lived about 500 B. c. The ruins of this ancient city are now covered by jungle, but are being exca- vated, and thus buildings more ancient than any previously known in India are being brought to light
 Another discovery, also in Nepalese territory, close to the British frontier is that of brick tumulus containing relics of Buddha himself. These are fragments of bone. in a decayed wood en vessel, with which we found five small vases of soapstone .and g very fine bowl of rock crystal, all con taining gold ornaments, pearls and precious stones, besides various ob- | jects delicately wrought in crytal anG agate.
 l This collection was deposited in { massive coffer of sandstone, buried un der eighteen feet of masonry. An in scription on one of the vases state, that the relics are those of the Buddha and indicates that the tumulus W. constructed about 300 B. C.-Chambers Journal.

 At present market rates peanuts are worth in Arizona to 8 cents per pound, wholesale. This would give upon a sixty bushel crop return of over s100 per acre. The hay, fully one ton, would be worth S6 more, in fact the hay value will fully cover the cosi of cultivation.
