ouR BAXTER LIBRARY.

On the teachers shelf, last week,
we placed three volumes for the up.
building of their profession. This
week we add fourth, II is Herbert
Spencer's popular work on educa.
ton. He presents the subject un-
der four heads: what knowledge
10 of most worth? Intellectual ed
ucation. Moral education. Phys
icai education" This is work for
a those readers who would enjoy
comprehensive and able work on
the science of education. This
work was first printed as whole In
America though written by an En-
glishman and each article printed
separately in several different re-
views in England.
The class in Patriotic Character
Studies would place the fifth vol
ume in the teachers corner. 1t is
Madame De Stael's Corinne-a
French classic that has occupied
the first place in the literature of
the world for q hundred years.
What Xenophon's Annabsis has
been for many centuries in the col
lege course In Greek the came for
the century closing with 1900 10
true of Corinne in Preach. When
the friends of the library read this
work they should remember that
Corrinne represents the author In
several particulars; she was the
most brilliant conversationalist OF
the age aud as the Edingborough
Review said, the greatest female
writer that can be found in any lit
eraturr. Her pictures OF Italy have
never been surpassed. Her repre-
sentation of English character is
strongly marked in her hero and OF
Italian character in the heroine of
the work. May our teachers read
this work and strive to initiate the
author in her vivid style of present
ing history and geography to the
minds of their class.
The sixth volume for the teachers
shelf Is "The History of the French
Revolution" by Henry H. Northrop,
presented by NJ. H. Gardner, for
many years editor of the Baxter
NEWS. No teacher is prepared to
teach United States history until
they have studied Universal His
tory and can see the relations of
the American and English Revolu-
tons to the French and the many
reflect influences of America on the
nations of Europe, Asia and Africa.
II they cannot cultivate love for
history and a growing and certain
love for literature while teaching
the story of their own country then
they should feel that they have not
sufficiently prepared themselves for
their work.

NAY HAVE BEEN MURDERED.

MAY HAVE BEEN MURDERED.
The awful tragedy that was en-.
acted In Joplin one night last week,
resulting in the death Of James
Moss and his family of four, 10 still
being discussed in official circles
az well az by many citizens. 1t is
said that the evidence before the
coroner's jury was not conclusive
that the bloody work was done by
Moss. 1t is claimed by some that
the revolver was found fully six
inches away from Moss hand, and
that his temple was not even pow
der burned. Those In q position to
know are not making statements,
and II is possible that the officers
are quietly at work trying to
solve the mysterious affair. The
visit of Mrs. Moss brother last Sat.
urday will undoubtedly result In a
thorough Investigation. Mr.. Hus.
ton was very reticent in the pres.
ence of reporters, but he is not sat
isfied with the argument that Moss
killed his family and then himself.
His views are printed in this morn.
ing's Kansas City Times az follows:
william J. Huston returned from
a visit to Joplin Sunday. He 10 q
brother of Mrs. james Moss, who,
with her husband and children,
was found murdered the fret OF
last week. He went there to pay re.
spects to the RENAME of his rela.
tives, and while there he investi-
gated their deaths. He says he lie
assured that Moss did not kill his
family and himself, but that the
killing was done by someone else.
Who he suspects, or whether he
suspects anyone, he refuses to say.
He also refuses to give his reasons
for believing as he does. He says
the coroner entertains doubts OF
Moss having committed suicide
and that the matter will be investi
gated more fully. The fact tina,
Moss renewed his life insurance
policy in the Woodmai order a
week before his death, after allow
ing it to elapse, is one thing in fa
vor of Illusions theory, but he says
that is not the only nor CHIEF
grounds for his belief. He elaine
to have made some important dis
coveries at Joplin, but he would moi
hint at what they are"

The attitude of Mr. Flower is of much
consequence in this market, II 1t could
be learned. Various stories have been
circulated regarding his movements during
the past week, but none of them have been
verified. Yesterday the version was that
he had ceased buying stock with the
statement that he did not intend to buy
everything the public owned. On Monday
it was said that he was selling stocks
heavily. The only direct and evil evidence
of his attitude obtainable is in the action
of his favorite stocks. 1t is noticeable
that nearly all these stocks were partic-
ularly weak yesterday. Brooklyn has been
mentioned. Rock Island and Atchison pre-
ferred seemed to have no support what
ever and went off all day in a terrific
manner. Atchison preferred went to so IL
and Rock Island to 109 IA. in each case
six points below the previous low of the
last three months. Chicago Gas and the
Federal Steel issues were much better
than these stocks. The Steels went to
SIS 1-2 and 10 ga, respectively, about the
low prices of Monday Chicago Gas de-
clined to III 1-2 or fractionally lower
than Mondays low level. Mr.. Flower was
reputed to be carrying a tremendous line
of all these stocks, and II this was true
he has undoubtedly been very hard hit.
There are those, however. who give this
gentleman credit for having done better
than this. in selling out his holdings near
the top. 1t is certain that If his help is
not to be given in reviving the market
the process will be a tedious one The
belief most generally held is that he will
begin to buy heavily when he believes that
a sufficiently low price has been reached
and that this may occur today or on any
day.

Charleston. S. c., May 9.-The cruiser

was stuck in mud bank outside the en-
trance TO Charleston harbor at $40 this
morning. but was pulled OF late this after
noon at high water without dimculty or

due to the coast pilot taken on in New
York, who did not know the channel. The
cruiser ran aground at what is known as
the north breaker, by the old channel.
She struck the shoal broadside on and lay in
an easy position until the tugs got her off.
According to the examination made there
is no injury TO the ship as the mud was
soft and free from rock.

1t is of little consequence whether
Governor Roosevelt signed the Ford bill
yesterday or not. 1t is generally known
that he has intended TO sigh it.. The bears,
however, used the story that the bill had
become a law as hammer most effect
lively. Brooklyn Rapid Transit went off
nine points from the high of the morning
to ia IA. Manhattan, which had been
very strong during the past week, was
also attacked in a most uncompromising
manner and dropped seven points to
10l ia. Metropolitan tumbled Z 1-2 points
to 223 1-2. 1t is only necessary to turn
back to the prices of stocks month ago
to see what the total decline of these
issues has been. Brooklyn went to 1877,
Manhattan to 1873, and Metropolitan to 260.
The rally in the last FIVE minutes yester-
day was most active in all these issues
and they closed from 1-2 to / 1-2 above
the low level. There is no particular guide
as to the likelihood of rally in these
stocks or a further decline. Manhattan
on April went to Ill only, so that the
tumble yesterday was much more severe.
Brooklyn, on the other hand, got as low
as 1O6 on that break and has still nine
points to go before it will be at that level
On the whole the chances are in favor
of good rally in all of these stocks today.
Caution would suggest. however, the SELL
ing Of long stock on bulges OF three or
four points.
