From the Country Teacher.
Mr.. James Phillips, who came
from Michigan with his brother
Prof. w. N. Philips, will teach in
the Cunningham district in Mel
rose.
The Superintendent will furn
ish pupils report cards to al
Grant county teachers this year.
They will be ready for distribu
ton in about two weeks. Call or
write for what you need.
The amount paid for teachers
wages in Grant county last year
was $40, 1915, 96. The amount paid
for school officers services was
81, 179, IS.
Twenty nine of the county
schools have libraries, twenty
eight of which have been procur
ed within the last three years.
There are 725 volumes in all
Alban No. Z will be number
thirty in the list having just or
dered nine dollars worth of books.
The school census of the coun-
ty this year is 2931, being an in
crease Of almost 200 over last
year. This will tend to decrease
the per capita apportionment,
and it is likely that it will not be
any higher than last year. The
census for 1895 was 1850; 1896
2613; 1897, 2737 and 1898, 2931.
The total days attendance of
school in the county last year eX
Guiding Milbank and Big Stone
City was 13l436: total days ab
sence 3596S. The attendance was
about a thousand more than last
year and the total absence about
six thousand day less, which is
certainly a remarkable improve
ment.
The superintendent S annual
report shows the total amount
paid for schools in Grant county
last year to have been S35, ,9SS,63
The district treasurer in thecoun-
ty had on hand July 1st ST., ,645, ,3S
a sum sufficient to capitalize u
small bank.
The institute expenses for this
year We're all paid from current
funds and about twenty five dol
lars is left on hand. 1t is doubt
ful if half the talent, ability and
experience have ever before been
assembled in this state for Il like
purpose and time at less than
double the expense.
At the recent teachers exam
ilMtion nine teachers succeeded
in raising the grade of their Ger
tificates from third to second.
The result Of the summer school
work will no doubt show III the
county schools for some time.
The school will surely be carried
on another year with such i'm
provements as the experience Of
this year have suggested

CONDITIONS IN PORTO RICO.
A Regular Army officer Tells why

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1-Some of the
conditions existing in Porto Rico which
the United States troops have to contend
with are set out in the following letter
from one of the most distinguished regular
officers in the field there:

WANT 100000
Methodist Bishops Call for "a Given
tieth Century Thank OfFering."

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Nov. bishops
of the Methodist Episcopal Church who have
been holding their semi-annual conference
in this city voted to call for a twentieth
century thank Offering of $20,000OOo from
the members of the Methodist Church. The
funds will be collected at intervals before
Jan l, 1901, and the sum wanted is expected
to be received by that date. 1t was voted
to devote the money to the Improvement of
educational and charitable institutions now
maintained by the Methodist Episcopal
Church. None of it will be used for the
establishment of new Institutions The call
for the fund will soon be issued. 1t Is not
intended to make the collections at one
stated time. but to make them so gradual
that they will not be a burden. The Offering
is intended as an expression of thanks for
the completion of twenty centuries Of Chris
tianity, and viii be the greatest effort of
rs character ever undertaken by any re
ligious organization. The bishops are con-
fident that the fund will be secured One
Of them said that the membership of the
Methodist Episcopal Church is 2,s0O, 900 and
that of it's Sunday schools nearly equal.
Contributions will be asked for in all quar-
ters of the globe where the denomina ton
has a membership. One OF the bishops said:
The fund will not seem SO great when II is
appreciated that ii is distributed among two
hundred educational institutions theological
schools and colleges and among many hum
dreds of charitable institutions"

ably ride to win may be a matter OF dis

he is not doing his best with his mount.
If he can put his horse in front at the start
he does so and makes a hot, strenuous

will ask, while craning their necks to read
the Small-lettered signs when raised near
the grand stand. Having made sure that
their idol is to be in the saddle, they bet

every race of the day.
The professional betting ring and book
makers do not admire Sloan so keenly al

calculations and percentages, reversed their

He makes business for them undoubtedly.

GENERAL WOOD SAYS NONE HAS EX-

Hospital to he Inspected.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1-There has been
no change in the plans of the War Depart
ment respecting the sending of troops to
Cuba. Nc date has even been fixed when
troops should depart. The only thing that
has been determined upon is that the con-
troll of the island should pass to the United
State Jan. l. Attempts to make it APP
pear that the death of Colonel Warning from
yellow fever has changed the plans of the
department are without basis. When Cen
eral Lee was in Washington the earliest
date he recommended for sending troops to
Cuba was Nov. Is, and he did this with sew
eral reservations suggesting that only a
small number be sent, and to particular
places where there was little danger of dis
ease and fever. With view of making ar
rangements for the troops board of Off
GERS was sent to Cuba to select camp sites
and ascertain what was needed for the
troops. The principal officers of this board,
Colonies Hecker and Lee, have been or
dered to Washington, and their reports
will be carefully considered before any
troops are sent to Cuba. The War Depart
ment moreover, does not wish to have any
conflict with Spanish troops as to occupa-
ton of towns, and therefore desires to send
the United States troops into Cuba only a
short time before the Spanish troops evacu-
ate. Owing to climatic conditions the
United States has not been pressing for
immediate evacuation. requesting only that
reasonable progress should be made by the
Spanish authorities.
Late this afternoon Secretary Alger and
Colonel Bird, of the quartermaster gener-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The members Of

Western cities, reached Washington to-day
and will hold meeting tomorrow to ar
range for the trip to Camp Meade, near
Middletown, Pa, where they expect to pro-

trip consumed sixteen days time. The
camps at Jacksonville, Tampa, Fernandina,
Admission, Huntsville, Chickamauga and
Knoxville and the hospital at Atlanta were
all visited and inspected in turn and wit
nesses examined at each place. The COM
mission occupied the private train furnished
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
sleeping and eating aboard it during the
entire round and holding many meetings IN

ington was made over the Southern and
Norfolk & Western roads in the exception
ally short time of fifteen hours.

DUE TO FOOTBALL.
Miss Sackett Changed Her VIII and
Carroll College Lost $4,000.

WAUKESHA, Wis, Nov. 1.-Carroll Col
lege, in this city, is just $1,000 poorer
through a game of football. Miss Anna NJ.
Sackett, who died last week. and who had
lived here many years, had watched the
work of Carroll College, and decided to as
sist that work to the best of her ability.
She made Ter will, giving legacy of 5000
to the trustees of Carroll College for the
benefit of that institution During last sum-
mer she heard and read so much about foot
ball in the school that she decided to see
a game for herself and ascertain what it
was like. She drove out one day to see a
contest between the college eleven and Wis
iting eleven. She was Mortified at what she
saw. The rough contest between the long
haired kickers and punters seemed to her
merely an arrangement for manning and
killing those who engaged in it. She nad no
sympathy at all with the authorities who en-
couraged what she. thought. was brutality
under the name of sport. She went home
and sent for her lawyer. Under her direc-
ton he drew up another will, which con-
tanned no legacy for the college, and she
signed it, the former will being destroyed.
