TEACHERS HEADS
IN THE BASKET
Board of Education
Ak Falls Again.

The Board Of Education held pro-
tracted session last night and transacted
large amount of business, incidentally
complimenting President BergerOt and at
the same time giving Darlington, presl-
dent of the old board of unsavory mem
ory back-handed swipe by resolving
that the harrington School shall here
after be known as the Bergerot School.
In addition the board cut off the official
heads of a number Of teachers in even
ing schools, placed others on the unas-
signed list and made a number of trans
fers: also abolishing the head of the chem
ical department in the Lowell High
School.
When the board was called to order at
$50 p. m. by President Bergerot all the
members were present, with the excep-
ton of Director Head
Superintendent Webster announced that
ne had received the report of School Cen
sus Marshal John Ebert and in his opn-
ion the report was faithful and correct.
The cost was 1899 a saving of $3267 on
the cost of taking the school census in
1898.
The board then resolved itself into
committee of the whole and went into
executive session. The result of the COM
mittee's deliberations is as follows:

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
A MinnesOta Farmer Kills His Wife

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. ia spe-
cial to the Times from Redwood Falls,
MIMI, says: Frank E. Babcock, a
farmer residing near this city, MUIR
dered his wife and three sons on his
farm about two O'CLOCK Wednesday aft
ernoon. The murder was committed in
fit of insanity Babcock loaded his
gun and went to where his two little
boys were playing, rod south of the
house, and shot both of them, blowing
their brains out. His wife saw the hor-
rible murder and rushed to the barn for
safety. Babcock went into the house
and wrote note to his brother-in-law,
Frank Mason, saying he went out to
kill rooster and shot his son Theodore
and could not face the crime. Then he
searched for and found his wife in the
barn and shot her through the head.
From the barn he walked mile south
to where his oldest son was pulverizing
and at close range fired gun that
blew out the brains of his son. Then
putting a loaded cartridge in place of
the empty one just discharged, he
cooked both barrels. placed the muzzle

PROVES HER SUPERIORITY.
Columbia scores the First Victory In
the Races Tor the Amer
teas Cup. M

New York, Oct. 17.The cup which.
the old schooner, America won so com
m1andingly against all corners over the
course around the Isles Wight ia 1881
and brought back across the seas will
probably remain here another year, a
defiance to the world. In a glorious
breeze, over a windward and leeWard
course of 80 miles, the Columbia scored
against the Shamrock Monday in the
first race of the 1899 series for the
trophy. She bounded across the finish
line fully mile and half ahead Of the
challenger, defeating her by ten min
utes and fourteen seconds actual time,
or ten minutes and eight seconds cor
rected time, after allowing the six sec
onds handicap which @ the Columbia
must concede to the challenger on ac-
count of her longer water line. 1t was
decisive contest, magnificent race,
magnifcently sailed and magnifcently
won.
The Yankee boat outgeneraled her
rival at the start, beat her hopelessly
in windward work to the outer mark,
and gained % seconds in the ruin home
before the wind. There was a good,
strong ten or twelve-knot breeze, and it
held throughout the race. The regatta
committee, as a result of the showing
made by the Columbia, are convinced
that the cup is safe. Blow high or low,
the Columbia, it is believed by her man
ager, Mr.. Iselin, can beat the Sham
rock. Sir Thomas. like the true sports
man that he is, confessed after the race
that he had been fairly beaten. He
had no apologies to make.
New York, Oct. 1s.-The topmast of
the cup challenger. Shamrock carried
away rs minutes after the big single
sticker had crossed the starting line
Tuesday, and her enormous clubsail,
with it's 5000 feet of canvas, came rat
Ting down on the deck, leaving her a
hopeless cripple. No amount of pluck
or courage could face such catastro-
phe' and Capt. Hogarth Immediately
abandoned the race, towing back to the
anchorage after he had cleared away
the wreckage. The Columbia continued
over the course alone, placing to her
credit the second of the races for the
Americas cup.

Central Music hall was filled, and the re-

that one people had, no right to force
government on another. He discussed
the question in a dispassionate manner:
claiming therewere many reasons why
the United States should hold the
islands, but no reason why it should
attempt to force upon any people form
of government to which that people
objected. The conference adjourned at
