Empress Elizabeth Assassinated.

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND, Sept TO-
As Emperor Elizabeth OF Austria was
walking with her maid, from Hotel
Beaurivage to the quay an assassin
sprang from behind tree and stabbed
her to the heart with sharpened three
cornered file.
After being stabbed from behind the
empress fell, arose, and walked on
board the steamer where she fell faint
ing. The captain did not wish to put
of from the quay, but did so at the re-
quest Of the empress and her suit there
being no apprehension that she was SER
iously hurt. The steamer was turned
back from the open lake, and the en-
press, Unconscious, was carried to the
hotel on a stetcher.
The stretcher upon which the empress
was carried to the hotel Was hastily i'm
provised with oars and sail cloth. Doc
tors and priests were immediately sum-
moned and telegram was sent to EN-
perez Francis Joseph.
All efforts TO revive her majesty were
anavailing and she expired at o'clock.
The medical examination showed
that The assassin must have used small

Seventh Year University Work.

Moscow, IDA, Sept. CAS- the Uni
versity of Idaho commences Septem-
Der 2lst, its seventh year OF work, 1t
seems fit that brief statement OF the
advantages offered the coming year be
made to the people of the state.
Although no successor to President
Gault has yet been chosen, Prof. G..
w. McCurdy, the senior professor, has
been appointed acting president by the
executive committee regents, and is
actively engaged in making prepare
tions for the opening of the years
work.
Several changes have been made in
the faculty of the institution. The
chair of agriculture, which has been
vacant since the resignation OF Prof.
Fox in 1897, has been filed by the cleo
ton OF Hiram T. French, NJ. c., for
eight years professor of agriculture in
the Oregon Agricultural College at
Corvallis. Prof. French is graduate
Of the Michigan Agricultural College,
was most successful in his specially in
Oregon and the authorities there did
all in their power to prevent his ac-
ceptance of the election here.
The chair OF horticulture was estab-
lished by the board at the June meet
ing and Fred A. Huntley, who for the
proceeding year have 80 efficiently serv-
ed as instructor in horticulture and act
ing-agriculturist, was appointed profess
sor. The new greenhouse, constructed
on the latest aud most improved mod
els, has been completed during the
summer and thoroughly equipped for
the work Of instruction. Thorn Smith,
b. S., graduate Of the Michigan Ag-
ricultural College was elected assistant.
chemist and will devote himself espe-
cially to the rapidly increasing work Of
the experiment station.
Bulletins of Profs. McCurdy, Hender-
son and Bonebright, dealing with prob
lens Of practical interest to our farm
ers, have been issued during the sum
mer. The steady demand for them,
even from states in the remote East, is
proof Of their scientific value
and utility.
The mining course, which proved 80
popular during the last year enrolment
showing an increase Of 400 per- cent?.
has been revised until In breadth and
thoroughness 1t is the peer of the older
Eastern schools. Extensive additions
have been made in the equipments, and
various valuable gifts have been made

Our Next State School Superintendent.

Miss Permeal French, the fusion nom-
inee for state superintendent of public
instruction. arrived last Saturday even
ing, and has taken charge Of her school
work in the Silver City schools. This
is the third year for Miss French in our
school and her work has been eminently
satisfactory to all. Knowing Miss French
personally, and Of her success and abil-
ity as an educator, the Avalanche has no
hesitancy in saying that the people Of
this state will make no mistake in CIV
ing her their support and electing her
to the responsible position of superin-
tendent ofour schools. She will fill the
position, If elected ably land with credit
to herself and entire satisfaction to all
stands in the front ranks of the profess
sion in this state-a thoughtful reader,
a thorough student OF the science of ed
ucation, a skilled and conscientious
teacher, refined, cultured and liberal
minded woman. Miss French has been
identified with the educational interests
of the state for goodly number OF years
as a teacher and student, and the state
can do no better than give our schools
the benefit Of her valuable experience
by placing her at the head of the educa-
tional department. Owyhee county
will do her part, and we believe that
the other sections of the state will do
the same.-Silver City Avalanche.

assays made during the year was IN

still better equipped for this class Of
work the coming season. The various

lean history are offered and the courses
in elocution and physical culture in.
creased in number and difficulty.
Owing to the increased efficiency OF
the schools Of the state, the first year
OF the preparatory department has
been abandoned, thus allowing the
teachers to better concentrate their In.
terest and attention on the work of the
two remaining years.

The selection of men Trustworthy

Without particularizing it may be
said the past two years administration
has not brought laurel wreaths to Bing-
hams conservatory.
A careful and capable hand should
hold the helm in directing the affairs
OF the convention, and keep in abey-
anee the hungering horde of Office

An Appteeiaated citizen

Few cities IRE without their public
b%enefactore, who are appreciated by the
citizens who. are benefited by cher phil
a%nthropy, but few cities have one 50
unselhshly devoted to the serving Of the
people with valuable Information, as to
Willingly devote his time to this public
service without compensation, as Wheel
ing possesses in the person of MI. C..
sohnepf, the local weather observer.
For many years past Mr.. schnepf has
taken upon himself the philanthropic
task Of making weather observations,
posting the government bulletins, dis
playing the signal flags. measuring the
rainfall and chronicling the temperature,
purely for the public information and
convenience. and without a cent o: COM
pensatlon.
AS IL that were not enumgh to cauee
the weather bureau to be as appreciatdve
Of Mr.. schRept.s services as the Wheel
Ing public has been. the bureau has
now imposed upon him the acceptance Of
additional gratuftous duties that will
take time and possibly cause him some
annoyance. In the way OF acting as the
distributor OF weather bulletins daily
among forty-two surrounding commu-
mites. Aretusali by him might possibly
deprive Wheeling OF the present tele-
graphic service entirely.
In agreeing to the acceptance OF the
imposition for awhile, Mr.. Schnept is
entitled to the thanks OF this entire COM
munfty, which owes It, in Justice TO him
as we'll as to itself, to take some action
looking to the consummation OF the
movement 1naugurated by Mr.. sohnept
himself ONT time since, to secure the
establishment Of: a regular government
observation station at this Important
point in the Ohio Valley. A proper eff
fort by, our chamber OF commerce,
backed bySour congressional delegation.
might prove successful. It would not
only be OF great advantage to the COM
munity and this entire portion Of the
valley, butwould relieve Mr.. schnept OF
the task which he has SO unselishly as
sumet for the benefit of the public. and
much TO his own Inconvenience.
Mr: Reymann's recent generous offer
OF q site for the proposed station. or OBJ
e~ervatory should be a strong inducement
to the government to grant W this SER
vice in the neal, future. Mr.. schneprs
consent to try the new system for a
short time, as an experiment, shows a
public spirtedness which the Intelligent
Ger feels sure Is appreciated by the peo-
pie OF Wheeling.

sIR:-The greatest mistake yet made
by President Mckinley has been in not
securing the valuable services OF the.
wise and far-seeing editor and STAFF OF
the patriotic (a) Wheeling Register.
one would naturally suppose from
reading the Register editorials and
comments, on the conduct Of the pres
ent war up to date, that the learned
editor and stan have been through two
or three wars, and were thoroughly
posted as 60 what should be done by the
President, cabinet and military adj
vlsers, and that from now on until the
war ends the military education, long
experience and thorough understanding
Of the situation from Havanalt to Manila
should be Immediately utilized: in order
to bring success to our arms ON land
and sea. a
President Mckinley, perhaps, Is not
aware that such wonderful knowledge
ability and military wisdom Is! bot
tied up" in the editorial sanctum OF the
Wheeling Register. II so. he Is excused
for making the mistake Of his life"
1t Is not too late, however. for him to
make amends. and he can do SO by
making q special detail for wind and
buster duty and sending Immediately
