SUMMER SCHOOLS.
An Agreement Reached at a Meeting
Held in st. Paul.

County Superintendent Freeman
attended the meeting of county ST.
perintendents and conductorsof sum-
mer schools at ST. PaulSaturday to lay
out work for the summer schools.
The principal points taken into con-
sideration were these:
First-Who shall be permitted to
take teachers examinations? 1t was
. decided that none shall be admitted
% summer schools or to take the ex-
animation unless they are teachers or
expect to become teachers in short
time.
y Second-Tols.what extent shall
methods be taught? 1T was agreed
that classes should be organized
among children who have never at
tended schoolI'or received any in
struction, and that they should be
given daily 'recitations by one Of the
instructors in numbers and reading.
Third-Shall all schools have uni.
, form courses? A committee was ap-
pointed to outline uniform course
(which should be / intensive rather
than extensive. This course will an
ticipate to certain extent the exam
nations which take place on Aug
Sth and 9th.
Fourth-Shal students be allowed
to take double work? This was de-
cided in the negative.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Of granting
first grade certificates without an ex
animation upon certain conditions. it
was left in very indefinite form, and
, it appears at present that the state
superin tendent will not grant certiti-
dates in this manner.

The fight in Texas for the extinc-
tion, not regulation, of trusts, has re-
suited in the refusal to allow to To-
cate in that state of a large cotton
seed Oil mill, the company Of which
was incorporated in New jersey. Pos
sibly the people there like such
move that drives capital from locat-
ing in their midst, and possibly they
do not. This is supposed to be free
country and a man is supposed to be
allowed to enter into any legitimate
business which he desires. Let the
Texas principal become general and
the liberties of the nation would soon
be at an end. There are numerous
abuses arising from trusts, but these
are what should be looked after and
regulated, but the Texas idea over
looks this feature altogether and
simplys says if you are organized in a
neighboring state you must not play
in our back yard.

Gen. Otis has informed the authori-
ties at Washington that all Of the
volunteer organizations there desire
to be mustered out at San Francisco.
The railroads coming east have offer
ed to transport them to their homes
at half rates, end this with the addi-
tional allowance which they gain by
being mustered out at San Francisco,
will net them a snug little sum.
There was some talk some time ago
that the Twin Cities would pay the
expense of the trip Of the thirteenth
Minnesota from the coast to the
cities so as to keep them in a body
for the purpose of rendering them an
ovation. Should this be done the
boys would realize good thing by
being mustered out on the coast, and
they deserve all they will get.

During the first five months of this
year fifty cotton mills were either built
Or projected in the south, at an estim-
ated cost of 81, 800 900 and to have
700, 900 new spindles. During the same
time existing mills planned to
make or did make improve
ments and extensions to the
cost of $5,6OO,OOO, employing about
100000 new spindles. This would
cover a total expenditure of some 81, ;
100000 in cotton manufacturing pur
poses in the south, and increasing the
number of new spindles 100000.
This is remarkable increase for five
months, and all the more so, when it is
recalled that on the first of August last
the number of spindles in operation in
the south were 100000,

CAMPING WITH LAYTON.
A KasOta Boy Writes Home From the
Philippines.

Mrs. G.. w. CadY, of Kasota, has re-
ceived letter from her son, Thomas
Head, who is with the troops in the
Philippine Islands. He writes under
date of May 7th, and we take the fol-
lowing extracts:
"We are all mourning over the sad
death of one OF our comrades, who
was shot in the battle Of yesterday.
We are resting up today for tomor-
rows fight. The insurgents have a
very strong position about mile
from US and the different commanders
expect they will put up their stro INCEST
fight. We are with Gen. Lawton's
division.
''The outpost duty is the most
dangerous post they can put man
on. He is put on post about six o'clock
at night and stays on until morning.
He is,spuposed to warn the main body
if there is a sign Of night attack.
Our field rations for eight men for
twenty-four hours consists of six cans
Of canned beef and hard tack. Some
times we get coffee. The weather is
very hot here now. The rainy season
commences next month.
ST was in the hospital from Jan.
1st to 18th with blood poisoning in my
hand, but 1 have been in every battle
that our company has. The insur-
gents use the Mauser rifle. We have
had one killed and six wounded so
far out of company of tifty-six able
bodied men,"

WAGEN CALLED.
Testifies in His $4,000 Damage
Suit.
The Case Against the rlinneapo-
lis & St. Louis Road is
Now on Trial.

In the case of Frank Jones VS.. VIM.
Lang, the defendant Tuesday after
noon withdrew his counter claim, and
the plaintiff asked the court to direct a
verdict for the plaintiff, and the court
$50 directed. The jury returned ver-
dict awarding the plaintiff $50. A stay
of thirty days was granted.
The trial of the $50, 900 damage suit
of Geo. Wagon against the Minneapolis
q st. Louis railway company was COM
menced this forenoon and is likely to
occupy several days, Brown q Abbott,
of Winona, are the plaintiffs attorney,
and Albert E. Clark, of Minneapolis,
appears for the defendant. The follow
ing jury was secured: Julius Borchart,
Robt. sYaeger, Martin Bowe, Chas.
.O'Connor, John H. Craver, g. A. HUI
tengren, Erick Knudson, S. K. Duane,
NJ. r. Abbott, Geo. w. Warren, Geo.
Scherer, J. Pressnall.
The first witness was Chas. Depue
and then Geo. Wagon took the stand in
his own behalf He told of the Sunday
excursion to Minneapolis last summer,
\ how he volunteered to assist with the
baggage, howIthe bar across the door of
the baggage. car gave,away and let him
fall out near kWateryille,- resulting in
. both of his feet being cut off just above
the ankles. He holds the road negli-
gent in not having safe fixture at the
door. The road will probably try to
attribute the accident to negligence on
the part of Mr.. Wagon. The case is
being closely fought.

Black Hills g. Ft. Pierre railroad,
who resides at Lead, for many cour-
tesies extended and much information
given. In speaking Of the Black
Hills & Ft. Pierre railroad reminds US
that this narrow gauge road runs
through section of the Black Hills
that is most charming for it's scenery.
1t passes the worlds famed crystal
cave, and winds its way through
canyons that battle description for
their romantic scenery and beautiful
mountain peaks visible In every d.
rection. This road is only about
ninety miles in length, but it affords
a ride that cannot be surpassed for
those who enjoy the wonderful handi.
work of Nature unadorned.
A visit to the Black Hills will re-
pay anyone, and the time cannot be
far distant when railroad will be
constructed from Pierre to Rapid
City. This done, Minnesota will be-
come close neighbors TO this wonder
country and the opportunity for an
interchange of business relations will
come to US that cannot now be con-
