five months ago. The deed was not
signed by his father, Christ Myers,
who had life tenure in the property.
Alexander Mcdonald, who had leased
the house at Mrs. Myers death, moved
out on Monday. When Christ Myers
arrived yesterday he found the house
barricaded, his son refusing him en-
trance. The father went to Somerset,
swore out warrant of forcible entry
and detainer and on his return here
secured service for the writ. Young

stable, fatally wounding Michael Kear-
ney. Then he fed to his boarding
house adjoining. where Constable Mel
son Lenhart and his brother, John
Lenhart, followed him. He fired again,
killing John Lenhart.
Sheriff Hartzell, of Somerset, in
short time arrived with posse. A
crowd of infuriated citizens was guard
ing the boarding house, in the cellar of
which young Myers was hiding. After
an hours wait raid was made. A
dozen shots were exchanged. Myers
was finally overpowerad and was re-
moved to Somerset. Michael Kearney

OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM.
a Gratifying showing Is Made by the
Annual Report OF the Commits

Washington, Sept. 2O.-The annual
statement of the commissioner of .du-
cation has been submitted to Secrc-
tary Bliss. The report shows salts
factory results for the work Of the
year ending June 80. 1898. a synopsis
follows:
one cause of congratulatlon on the part
of those who hold the doctrine that ponuIa p
education Is the safeguard of our American
institutions, says the report "is the CON
tinued prosperity of the elemen tary schools
The Increase during the year is9s-9T
amounted to 257,S96 pupils over the reyious
year. The total enrolled in elementary
schools amounted to 15.452,42s pupils. Add
ing to II those in colleges, universities
high schools and academies, the total num-
Der reached 1926, ,O93."
Ihe total amount OF schooling received
per individual, on an average for the whole
united States at the rate of school attend
ance for 1897, is nearly five years of 200 days
each, and reached quite seven years in a

In their expenditures for education. lit
tie more than one-ffth of the entire popu-
lation attended school at some time dur
ing the year
A still greater occasion for congratula-
ton, 1t is stated, is the increase of stu
dents In colleges and universities This
increase has gone on steadily for 25 years,
ana IN 1872 only $50 persons in the million
were enrolled in those institutions In 1897
the number had risen to 1875 in the million,
oeing more than double the number. Dur
ing the same period there has been an i'm
portant change in regard to conditions of
admission to college. The standards have
been raised to such an extent as to require
an average of a years work more in prep
aration for the freshman class Consid-
ering the elevated standard, 1t Is safe to
estimate the number in higher education
measured by the standard of 1872 as three
times as large in 1897 as 25 years before.
RMS increase was more remarkable in
those students taking what are called
postgraduate studies and engaged in
the work of original investigation. The
professional students in the schools of law,
medicine and theology increased during the
same period. During the same period sci
entific and technical schools multiplied
In view of the continually increasing de-
mand for higher education, says the state
ment, the increase of professional educa-
ton and especially the rapid growth of
that class of students that make special
expert studies in postgraduate work, is
in the highest degree reassuring

is AFTER cEBU ISLAND.
Germany Snid to he Ready to seize
One OF the Philippines rNr Its
Conl Deposits.

New York, Sept. 20.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
As an indication that Germany has
been scheming to share in the dis
position of the Philippines, the au-
thorities have heard that, acting un-
der instructions from Berlin, the Ger.
man commander in chief of the Ash
attic station has made an exhaustive
investigation of the coal deposits of
the islands
He was assisted by German en-
gineer who has been temporarily as
signed to his squadron for the spe-
cial purpose of locating coal.
That engineer conducted thor
ough investigation, and his report,
which has been submitted to the Ber-
lin government throuC' Vice Admiral
Won Diedrich, shows that the best
Ignite deposits are located on the
island of Cebu, one of the Visayas
group.
This information has been received
from one of the representa- tives of
this government in Germany and has
been considered of sufficient impor-
bNiASN w pS W Jllt peace
commissioners for their considera-
ton.
Officials who were interviewed re-
garding the matter admit that there
can be only one object which would
lead the Berlin government to direct
such an investigation-the desire to
extend German jurisdiction over the
island which has the largest beds of
coal best adapted for steaming pur-
poses.
Aware of Germany's proceedings,
the authorities are taking precautions
to prevent the consummation of any
new plan which will enable then, to
reach fruition. The Berlin govern
ment, by the reduction of it's fleet in
Manila bay, gave an indication of its
desire to remain on friendly terms
with this government.
1t is no longer a secret that Ger
many is the only nation from which

READY TO QUIT.
Secretary AIger Said to Have Ten
dered His Resignation to Pres
ident McI&inI~~.

New York, Sept. 2O.--A dispatch to
the World from Washington says:
Secretary of War r. A. Alger has
placed his resignation at the presi-
dents disposal. This was his last Off
cial act before leaving Washington,
ten days ago, yet the fact has just
come to light. Secretary Alger's de-
ciston to take this step was not the re-
suit of hasty action, but the logical
outcome of weeks of unfavorable criti-
cism from the press and public on the
conduct of the war. Although he has
endeavored to maintain an outward
calm, it is known that he has suffered
severely under fire. Whether or not
the resignation will be accepted is an
determined. The president has the
highest regard for Secretary Alger
and believes him to be n worthy and
competent official. Unless an investi-
cation determines to the contrary, the
president will probably stand shoul-
der to shoulder with his secretary.
