TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
Superintendent Carleton Talks About the
School in Politics.

Missoula, Oct. 6-The 14th annual
meeting of the Missoula County Teach
ers institute closed tonight with an
interesting public meeting at the dis
trict court room. State Supenintend-
ent Carleton occupied most of the even
ing with his interesting discussion of
THE School in Politics." Mr.. Garlic
ton said that we are inclined to take
a view of our public school system that
is too optimistic. There are many fea-
lures of this system that are not what
they should be and we should not close
our eyes to this side of the question.
In Montana, he said, there are some
things about our schools that need
fixing. The public school is the cor
ner stone of our national structure and
whatever threatens that threatens our
government. Mr.. Carleton then pro-
ceeded to discuss the difference of pol
itics in public school work from
general standpoint and cited numerous
recent instances of national Importance
where colleges and public school sys-
TENS have been irreparably injured by
this pernicicus influence. Localizing
his subject, he mentioned the segrega-
ton of Montana's institutions of high
err education and the anomalous con-
dition of the state board of education
as examples Of injury wrought by pol
itics in school work Mr. Carleton
is becoming stronger against political
meddling in school matters, and he
predicted that things will get better
instead of wonse.
John Mcguire contributed materially
to the evenings programme by his
splendid rendition of THE Bridge of
Signs" Nothing finer in the recita-
tive line has been heard in Missoula.

programme were furnished by Mrs.

sang "Suanee River in a manner that

Said That Barker and Miss Shadville

Great Falls, Oct 6.-Miss Ida May
down in Iowa and Minnesota last
March when she claimed to be the wife
of Mr.. Barker of Neihart, who was
killed in the railway wreck in the form
err state. She is likely to create an
other stir, for she has filed in the dis
trict court of this county a document
(which purports to have been written by
the late Mr. Barker. 1t reads as fol-
lows:

bears out the statements of those who
believed that there was something in
her claim. For the sake of the family,
it is to be hoped that the present case
will clear up all obscure points in the
matter. The complaint also alleges that
Barker's estate had been appraised at
$40,937.79; that the only heirs are Mar
celia Barker, decedent's widow, aged
about Is years, and son, born since
Barker's death.

city. have agreed to call the prevailing
disease the japanese measles, and to
attribute it to the japanese laborers
who have been working along the line
of the Great Northern during the sum-
mer. That is probably as good a name
as any other, but everything now seems
to indicate that the disease is small
pox, and that it originated with the
Cree Indians either in the vicinity of
this city or near Lewistown.
A gentleman who came in last even
ing from LeWistown says that the
coach from that place was stopped just
outside of Fort Benton and the pas
sengers told that they could not enter
the town. The passengers insisted on
staying with the coach and said they
intended to go to town and take the
train After an hours delay, during
which time quarantine officers went to
Benton, the coach was allowed to pro-
coed and the passengers allowed to stay
until the train pulled out.
The quarantine is also construed to
apply to freight trains between Benton
and Judith basin points and has cut
off the supplies of many Lewistown
merchants. The result Is that the
freight will probably be shipped to this
city and the freighters will come here
for it, leaving Benton by herself, as
she desires to be left.
The child of J. L. Llewellyn is quite
sick at Belt with symptoms of small
pox. In order to be safe, DR.. Anthony
yesterday afternoon ordered the house
strictly quarantned.
One of the nurses at the pest house,
a sister from the Columbus hospital,

CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
A Large Amount of Routine Business
Was Transacted.

Was Transacted.
Missoula, Oct. 6.-The special session
of the city council tonight was called
to order by the president of the coun-
Gil, Alderman Mix. Alderman Logan,
of the committee appointed to invests
gate the shale question, reported that
they found it useless to purchase any
land. as there was sufficient shale on
land owned by the city.
Attorney M. L. Crouch, representing
the new owners of the Bennett opera
house, appeared before the council. He
asked that the present license of $50 for
each performance be reduced. He spoke
of the heavy expense that the owners
We're under and said it was impossible
to make anything at the present eX-
penses. The council failed to do any
thing in the matter
Alderman Logan made a motion to
advertise for wood. The motion was
carried and the clerk was instructed to
advertise for 40 cords of fir wood.
In the matter of collecting the eX-
penses the city has gone to in building
new sidewalks on property where own
ers have failed to lay walks, the reso-
luton was up for general discussion.
The manner of collecting these amounts
seemed to bother the aldermen. After
thorough discussion the city treas
urer was instructed to send notices to
those owing the city to pay their share.
The fire and water committee reported
in favor of paying the water company's
bill of $120 for three new fire plugs,
and it was so ordered. 1t was decided
not to do anything with the theater or
dinance that had been read once until
the next meeting. On motion OF Her.
zog the council adjourned.
