SAVES TEACHERS LIVES.
A Fourteen-Year-Old Boy Flags a

Chicago, Aug. ia special to the

says:
The lives of ninetythree teachers have
been saved from possible destruction
by 14-year-old Marley Beaver. AS a
reward for his presence of mind, a free
course of instruction in the state normal
school at Madison has been rendered
him.
The teachers had been attending the
state convention at Hot Springs and
boarded an excursion train bound for
Spearfish Canyon. Just as the train
was about to enter the canyon it was
tagged by young Beaver, who notified
the trainmen that the track was OBJ
structed by a horse that had fallen
through the ties of a nearby trestle and
could not be released The boy had
seen the accident and his first thought
was the tagging of the passenger train.
Had it not been stopped there undoubt-

dent.
When the facts were learned by the
excursiOnists the boy was lionized.

CUBAN CENSUS.
Win Be Taken by Native Enumera-
tors Under Cuban Chiefs.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE secretary
of war has directed that the census of
Cuba shall be completed by January ]
next and General Joseph Sanger, of the
inspector generals department, will be
assigned to take general charge of the
work with headquarters at Havana.
Gen. Sanger was in command of one of
the military departments of Cuba for
several months after the Spanish evac-
uation and has been recently engaged
in special duty in connection with the
administration of affairs in our insular
possessions.
The manner in which the census is to
be taken has been practically determin-
ed as a result Of numerous conferences
held between the Cuban officials and
the authorities of the war department
and census office.
The immediate taking of the census
will be under a Cuban official in each
district. Each will have a force of Gu
ban enumerators, but the number of
these is yet to be decided. The final
tabulation of the counts will be made
at the census Office at Washington.
So far as decided upon the questions
to be asked viii be as follows:
Name, age, sex, color.
Trade, occupation or profession.
Married or single or other family re-
lation.
Sanitary condition of houses, disposal
of garbage and of fecal matter.
Ability to read and write.
Ability to speak or understand the
English language and what elementary
knowledge makes it probable that this
understanding of English will be ac-
Quired.
Nationality whether Cuban or Span
lard, property, ownership or rental.
Area of land cultivated and kinds Of
crops.
Schools, and number of scholars in
attendance and number Of days attend
ed.
The conferences are still in progress
and may develop change, yet the census
will be brought as far as possible with
in the above general scope.
