B. r. FlXEN DEAD.
Passed Away From Effects of
Runaway Accident.

The death of Bernhard Friedrich
Fixsen, one of the best known farmers
of Vail township, occurred at St. Alex.
ander's hospital, New Ulm, last We'd
nesday night, as result of complete
paralysis Of the body caused by injur-
les received in a runaway accident
several weeks ago, fully reported in
The Gazette few days after the acct
dent occurred. The remains were
brought to Morgan, and the funeral
services over the same were held from
the residence of Fl. D. Fixsen, q broth
or of the deceased, in that village, the
Rev. Robert Horn of the Presbyterian
church, Morgan, officiating. The
services were attended by large num-
Der of relatives and friends of the de-
ceased, as we'll as by delegation OF
Redwood Lodge No. 68, A. 0. U. w.,
of which organization the deceased
was member. The lodge furnished
the pall-bearers. After the services
the remains we're taken to the Fix
san family plot in the cemetery on the
old Newton homestead, and we're laid
to rest by the side of the remains OF
the parents.
The deceased was little over ~
years old at the time of his death.
Born in Germany he came to this
country with his parents, and settled
with them in Sherman township,
shortly after they reached America.
Early in the eighties he moved on to
farm in Vail township, and that was
his home up to the time of his death
Mr.. Fixsen was town clerk of that
town, with the exception of one or two
terms, from the time of his settlement
up to the date of his death.
He was married to Miss Eleanora
Daub of Redwood county about 20
years ago, and he leaves his wife with
q large family of boys and girls. Mrs.
Fixsen, also injured in the accident,
has not been recovering from the same
as rapidly as it was hoped, and there
are fears for the worst. She was in
jured internally, and physicians be-
lieve in such manner that they will be
unable to relieve her.
"Birney" Fixsen as he is generally
called. was one of the best natured
Germans in the county. He was al
ways jolly, and when his financial
condition wal the most desperate he
took it as matter of course and
good-naturedly. It is believed that
his estate is in good shape, and that
he children will haye enough to take
,are of them until they have grown in
% man and womanhood.

with q thud, and angrily called attention
to an article in a morning paper, which
described the tricky and deceitful and in
sulting methods used by the agent for the
Natural system, who was in the city adj
vocating the adoption of the books he had
to sell. Nothing will induce me to vote
for the SYSTEM" roared Mr.. McInerny,
with righteous wrath pictured on his mo-
bile countenance.
After the subsistence of McInerny, Mr..
Braly continued his cool statement of fact.
He said neither the agent nor the article
had had any effect upon his view of the
matter; the agent was all that he was de-
scribed to be, but that that did not alter
the fact that the principals of the city.
when called together to speak on the sub
ject, had decided that the Natural was the
proper system to teach, and this by a vote
of thirty-five to fifteen. An unwise and
foolish agent could not change this fact.
He personally would prefer to vote for the
California system, for he felt patriotic
interest in a product of the state where
he had lived so many years, and he had
been the teacher of one of the publishers
of the latter system, but he bowed to the
superior judgment of the citys principals,

Webb Breaks Out Again
Then the stormy, aggressive Webb broke
out again, and in sounding tones asked
permission for "just a word about this
writing system. "a few months ago the
agent for the Natural system went through
the schools of the city soliciting from the
teachers signatures to an Endorsement of
his system. Three months ago Mr.. Hod.s-
man, the agent for the system had done
this. He did more than this, for he came
to the offices of this board and, procuring
the official letter paper of the board, wrote
letters to the principals, which were
couched something like this: Dear Sir:
Please sign the enclosed blank and return
to this Office
"What could the teachers think about
this, except that 1t was sort of official re-
quest, the answers to be sent to our office.
They had put themselves on record and
could not change their views when we
asked them--that is all but fifteen, who
may be said to have flown the track There

1t all happened at the meeting of the

The members were all angry, and righteous
ly so, at the action of the agents for the
different companies which had writing
books to sell, and particularly at the gross
ly insulting and contemplate methods fol-
lowed by the person who represented the
Natural system. Walter Webb, who APP
Feared with all of his old-time bonhomie
and self-assertiveness, presented, with Mr..
Bartlett, the majority report of the COM
mittee to which had been referred the mat
ter, as follows:
Gentlemen of the Board of Educa-
ton:
Your committee to which was re-
ferred resolutions on writing books,
respectfully recommend that all bids
be rejected and the subject be dis
missed. for the following reasons:
First, That we are against the
change in text books, unles some great
advantage is to be gained to the pupils
of the schools by such change.
Second, That the matter of vertical
penmanship is in an experimental
stage. and we therefore think that the
adoption of the system should be de-
ferred units some future board with
greater experience is better able to de.
eide the question on it's merits.
Third. That the system now in use
is vertical system, and we therefore
believe change would simply mean
an extra expense to our citizens with
out adequate returns for the sum.

that the bid of D. c. Heath & Co. Of
fering the books of that system. be
adopted. Among the reasons for the
above recommendations, 1 suggest:
First, That the Natural system is
recommended by a majority of our
school principals.
Second, That said system Is now In
use in our State Normal school and in
the country schools of this county; our
new teachers, elected from time to
time are largely drawn from the coun-
t. schools, and from the Normal school,
and they will come into the city school
better prepared to teach that system
by reason of the facts above shown.
Third, The educational elements in
volved in the methods of teaching
called for by the Natural system are
my opinion-guided by the opinions of
the teachers referred to-superior to
those which form the basis of any other
system offered.
Fourth, The superintendent of the
city schools informs me that he ap-
proves of the foregoing statement and
recommendation.
Fifth, The prices named In the bid OF
D. c. Heath & Co. are, as far as I can
Judge of the matter, very reasonable,
and the adoption of this system will
not involve any extra expense to the
patrons Of our schools. Very respect
fully, N. P. CONREY,
Member of said committee.
