No Women For superin.endents.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., August H.
Commissioner OF Indian Affairs Jones
has decided that no women will be APP
pointed In the future as superintend-
ent OF Indian schools. The principal
objection to women superintendents lies
In the fact that at all Indian schools
industrial training Is the principal
feature, and, IL Is said, II has been dem
onstrated that women are untitled f1r
work of this character. Herds OF cat
tie, farms, gardens, etc, at nearly all
the schools are 10 be looked after by
the superintendent, who also has
charge OF the disbursements, Is expect
ed TO prepare estimates for new build
ings, repairs and other Improvements.
When man is superintendent he has
general oversight over the entire plant
aud operates the literary department
through a principal teacher, the do
mes,io department through matron,
and the industrial branch through a
farmer or Industrial teacher, as the
case may be.
"Unless person Is competent to
manage such an institution" said Com
missioner Jones, che rarely gets eiiic'
| lent work out OF the subordinates. IL
has been the experience OF this office
that men are better adapted for this
work than women. AS teachers ol
young people women are emiuently sue
cessful. They are essentially teachers
and IN this line of work In a majority
of cases are vastly superior TO the men
In the general lines of Indian education
their work has been invaluable and
their delicacy of manner and refine
mcnt has an excellent influence in th'
moral training Of the Indian youth"

RED Rock, MONT, Aug. 22.--The
little town OF Red Rock was thrown into
q state OF great excitement yesterday
when 1t WAS reported on the telephone
that the stage carrying mail and pas
sengers between Salmon City, Idaho,
and this place had been held up. A
more definite report was received last

side The driver and passengers were
ordered 70 get down from the stage and
hold up their hands while the bandits
searched them. They took the gold
dust as well as all of Mr.. Killing
money. about s22s5. They also took his
gold watch but seeing the monogram
upon it returned it. Then they directed
all TO get into the stage and drive of,
which was done at the point OF gun.

SWINDLING ON
GIGANTIC SCALE
$4,000 of Arkansas Bonds
Forged.
IN THE HANDS OF AN ESTATE
Letter from Executor Unearths Fraud
Believed 10 be Enormous Swind-
ling Scheme That Has Gone
on for Some Time

Little Rock, June "A letter of inquiry
from the executor of New York estate
addressed to State Treasurer Little has I'M
earthed a bond sWindle which already
amounts to $175,OOO. and which the state
officials believe may, on investigation, run
into millions.
The letter reveals the fact that fraudu-
lent state bonds have been successfully
fioated, but the extent of the swindle can
not yet be Appropriated The letter is
from William L. Jaques, las West 10th
street, New York city, and is as follows:
Dear Sir:-As executor and heir of my
fathers estate, Edward ]. Jaques, de-
ceased, l desire to make inquiries regard
ing some seventy bonds. per cent, of the
state of Arkansas series issued 1870, of
which the enclosed list are the numbers
and now held here. The bonds are, under
an agreement for settlement between the
state OF Arkansas and the bondholdeTs, to
be contaminated in this present year, 1899
Will you kindly let me know at your
earliest convenience what the prospects
are looking to a settlement and any in
formation concerning the bonds that
would be of service to me in the settlement
of my fathers estate, l would appreciate
greatly"
Then follows schedule of seventy bonds
in the possession of Mr.. Jaques of the
series issued January II, 1870, bearing
per cent. interest. Seventeen of these
bonds, ranging in number from three to
41O are shown on the state bond record to
have been redeemed and cancelled, with
the exception of two, which are now in the
permanent school fund and actually in the
vaults of the state treasury. How Mr.
Jacques could have the same bonds in his
possession is a riddle that can be solved
only on the supposition that they are
counterfeits. Mr.. Little points out the fact
that bond of that issue could have been
readily forged by changing the numbers
The remaining fifty-three bonds are as val
ueless as the paper upon which they are
printed as they come within the limits of
those Tepudiated by the F1shback admins
tration.
1t develops, therefore, that bonds with a
face value of $175,G00 including accrued in
terest coupons held in good faith as a gen.
uine asset of the Jaques estate, are worth
less. The appearance of these bonds Is
taken by state authorities evidence of q
gigantic swindle having at some time in
past seven years been perpetrated, and the
state board will endeavor to ascertain to
what length 1t was carried, and, If possible,
locate the guilty parties

THE TWO BIC FIGHTERS ARE READY FOR THE COMING MILL
FitzSimmonS is Doing Only
Light Work,
He is NOW READY To FIGHT
Red Headed Boy Attacked by Some
Rowdies-Je Grows More Con-
fdent of Capturing Champion
ship Title from Fitzsimmons

New York, June 1.-(Special. )-Champion
Bob Fitzsimmons has completed his prepar-
atory training for his coming fight with
Jeffries, and has decided to do only light
work from now on until the date of the
battle.
Fftzsimmons came very near displaying
some of his fstic qualities yesterday on
few rowdies that hang around some of
the streets along the road where the cham
pion takes his daily runs.
Fitzsimmons disregard for personal re-
marks and good common sense alone pre-
vented a free fight. 1t is part of Fftzsim-
mons schedule to take long run in the
morning, generally in the direction or
Prospect park, where it is distance Of
about six miles from the Australian
quarters at Bath Beech. Some days Fitz
is accompanied by his sparring partner,
"Yank' Kenney, but as the pace set by
the Cornishman is a hot one, kenney pre-
fers to stay at home. Yesterday was one
of Kenneys off days, and Bob started out
alone to cover the stance. On the way
out Fitz met Fred Taral, the well-known
Jockey, who was also reducing his weight
for the afternoon races, and the pair went
off at lively clip.
Nnlle on return lHSy Sh1ouhbSASN go
aggregation of loafers who had concen-
trated on a corner to await the champions
arrival.
Whether the scheme was prearranged or
not Fitz received a pretty warm reception
as he approached. They hurled many UNI
complimentary remarks at the pugilist, and
for q time 1t looked as though the cham
pion would resent the insult.
He is very much disturbed at the en-
counter, and suddenly turned around as
though to return to his tormentors, but
something must have called Fftz off, for
he quickly changed his course and contin-
ued homeward bound.
When Fitzsimmons arrived at his quar-
tiers he related the incident to his friends
and denounced the action of those who at
tempted to interfere with his preparation.
Fitzsimmons thinks it was a scheme to get
him into free fight so that an opportunity
would be given his enemies to infiict some
injury that would affect his chances in his
coming eight. This is the reason, Fitz
says, he refused to be drawn into any
street brawl. Hereafter he will take his
runs late in the evening, when he thinks
his appearance on the road will not be so
prominent.

DIXON AGAIN WINNER
Got Decision Over Joe Bernstein in
Twenty-fivs Rounds

New York, June 2.-George Dixon cham
pion featherweight. again proved his supe-
riority tonight in his class as a pugilist,
after fighting twenty-five very fast rounds
with Joe Bernstein, of this city, before the
New Broadway Athletic club. Dixon proved
conclusively that he was the better ring
general, and from scientific standpoint
there was no gainsaying his superiority.
At the end of the twenty-fifth round both
pugilists were in condition to go several
rounds more, and although there was some
dissatisfaction expressed by the partisans
of Bernstein when the referee awarded the
bout to the colored champion, there was no
reason for the outburst of Kisses. In fact,
they were drowned by the cheers of the
more fair minded persons, who watched the
fight with more evident interest from the
beginning to the end.

JenrieS Confident

Asbury Park. N. j., June 2.-As the date
of the big fight approaches Jim Jeffries day
by day becomes more and more confident
of capturing the championship title from
the present champion, Bob fitzsimmons
One, to hear the Californian talk, would
think 1t was all over with Lanky Bob's
laurels. OF course Jeffries is not a great
talker; he has comparatively little to say
about his plans, but to his friends Jeffries
says he will win out in a walk. The only
thing that Jeffries does not like is to wait
another week to enter the ring.
He announced yesterday that he was pre-
pared to fight at a moments notice, and
wished that the fight would come off to-
morrow. What is the use of training
any more" said he. II am ready for Fitz
right now"
