the common sense of the American peo-
pie will surely triumph. But harmful
results have already followed the
teaching of these educational reform
ers. Many teachers, honest, earnest
and progressive; have been induced
to try the methods of these theorists
and have miserably failed, either be-
cause they We're impracticable or be-
cause the people were not educated to
know a good thing when they see 1t.
Reform is good when kept within the
bounds of reason

America is passing through the most
trying crisis civilization has ever
known and the issue depends upon the
education of the next generation of

it is to their interest to preserve peace
and order, and they will preserve

at 1 O'Clock in the High -chool Audi
forum. After a beautiful selection by
the High School Mandolin & Guitar
club, Miss Ida M. Robins, retiring pres
ident of the Teachers club, delivered
the annual address, of which the follow
ing is the substance:
Teachers of Butte and Friends: To-
day the Teachers club celebrates it's
second anniversary. Beginnings are in
teresting because they are new and be-
cause they leave much to be expected.
A year since an executive committee,
composed of representatives. from the
different schools of the city, met TO
consider means for a more definite or
ganization of the club. Then a meeting
of all the voters was held to choose
four officers to guide this new crea-
ton through one year of childhood.
The closely contested election and the
interest manifested by opposing fac
tions, would have gladdened the heart
of ward politician.
THE success of last years literary
meeting of the club speaks for itself.
We enjoyed the instruction and valu-
able papers. we gained inspiration and
new ideas from the attractive exhibit
of school work and the pleasure re-
ceived from social intercourse COM
pleted the success of the meeting. We
hope much for the future of our club.
We believe that not only is such an or
ganization beneficial but necessary to
keep us moving briskly along the high
road of good endeavor.
I'm behalf of the outgoing officers, I
wish to express our thanks for the
courtesy and kind forbearance you
have shown to us in the past year
The club can congratulate itself on its
happy choice of officers for the coming
year. For president we have chosen a
lady we'll known to us, than whom we
know no better. IT gives me great
pleasure to introduce to you now your
new president. Mrs. Mary Doughty of
the Lincoln school,"
Mrs. Doughty then assumed office and
presided over the meeting, not making
a formal address.
Among the Chosen" was the subject
of a paper read by Miss Ada f. Mad
den of the Washington school. She
said that the individuality that leads
in the accomplishment of a worthy
purpose must be of decided superiority
must rise above everything, mean or
little, must possess broadness of Wis
ion, a capacity for marshaling enter
prise of magnitude. Observation of
Western life shows that until within
perhaps the last decade, talent to fill
the better positions in business or in
the professions was important from the

THE H|GHLANDERS WAR
An Incident of the Boer War In
Butte.
IN THE POLICE COURT
The Story OF the Sanguinary Conflict
Was Rehearsed-A Warm Dis
cussion Of the South African
Situation the Cause.

A brief but decisive engagement OF
the Boer war was fought in Butte at
an early hour yesterday morning. The
forces engaged were the Davis guards
and the Buckley Highlanders and the
latter forces were victorious. The High
landers were commanded by Mrs. Buck
ley and her forces consisted of the two
John Buckleys her husband and son.
The guards were taken by surprise and
We're greatly outnumbered, as John
Davis, who was in command, was viz
tually alone when the attack was
made.
The Highlanders advanced at O clock
and opened by Smelling the windows of
the guards fort Commander Davis ad-
vanced to meet the attacking party and
was badly worsted by the Highlanders,
whose commander displayed high
quality of strategy. After the engage
ment reinforcements in the shape of
the local police came up and turned
| the victory into a rout of the High
landerS and two-thirdS of the latter
force were captured.
Yesterday, the story of the sangui-
nary engagement was rehearSed in the
police court 1t appeared from the evil
dence that the families of John Buck
ley and John Davis live side by side
in the eastern part of the city; that
the heads of the families met in
saloon at an early hour in the morn
ing, and one being a Boer sympa-
thizer and the other an Englishman,
a warm discussion of the war in South
Africa ensued. A clash was barely
averted at this time and later, after
both parties had gone home, Davis dis
covered that some one had smashed
one of his windows. He laid it to the
Buckleys and went and got policeman
to arrest Buckley sr. The officer called
at the house of the Buckleys and Davis
waited on the outside. Mrs. Buckley
having occasion to go out in the yard
encountered Davis and there was
trouble at once. It was alleged that
Davis hurled can at Mrs. Buckley
and that she replied with club, nearly
cracking Davis head. Then Buckley
and the boy reinforced the woman and
between the three Davis got consider
ably the worst of it before the police
man, who was in the Buckley house,
arrived and separated the combat
ants.
| The two Buckleys We're charged with
malicious mischief and disturbance.
| The former charge was dismissed, but
they We're found guilty of the latter
charge and were fined SIS each.
| Patrick Griffin. the railroad man who
was arrested night before last for
| showing a gun in the face of Barney
Boon and demanding money, was let
| off with a $40 fine for carrying con-
| cealed weapons.
James Anderson, for being a plain
| drunk, was fined SIS. The vagrancy
cases against Mike Shea, Frank Shad-
| dick and one Jim Doe, We're dismissed.
The case of assault against Charles
Banker was set for trial next Tues-
! day.

! Yesterday at noon the public schools
of the city closed for the Christmas
holidays. 1t was an suspicious event
and teachers and pupils alike entered
into the spirit of the occasion with the
cheering satisfaction that q great deal
of good had been accomplished in the
first four months of the school, 1t was
a beautiful day, like spring, and in
many ways it was suggestive Of the
closing of the term for the summer
vacation.
The Teachers club met in the High
school auditorium at l O'Clock and in
company with many friends listened to
the programme of exercises which
marked the third anniversary of the
formation of that worthy club of edu
Gators. The auditorium walls We're
lined with works of art, casts. busts
and other evidences of effort on the
part of the Ladies' Art club, whose
members long ago brought to the at
1ention Of the board of education the
necessity of relieving the walls of the
school rooms of mOnotony. 1t was a
beautiful assemblage of Butte's boast
ed educators The music of the Man
dolin and Guitar club eXcelled.
On the second floor of the High
school building We're the exhibits of

the city. The work this year shows
a decided improvement over that of
last year, proving the efficacy of the
several branches introduced in the cur
Tculum: especially notable are the
specimens of drawing and the harmon
izing and blending of colors. Another
feature of the work is the music writ
ing. Physiological drawings take up
a considerable space, and this branch
of the school work is in evidence as
showing the wonderful strides the pu-
pills are making in it. Penmanship
takes a front seat in the estimation of
The visitors. In this work the pupils
show great talent. Much Of the work
is worthy of older and more expert
enced hands. Some of the ideal draw
Sings are particularly worthy of men

DRUNKEN ACTOR RAISED A ROW
William Hickey Failed to Get OF
Without Paying for His Cab.

William Hickey, an actor who IS APP
pearing at a local theatre this week, got
drunk Sunday afternoon and thought he
owned Jersey City. He went to the office
OF the Postal Telegraph Company and
asked for a cab.
When the vehicle pulled up in front OF
the office Hickey caught hold of a mes
senger boy and dragged him into the cab.
Hickey insisted on stopping at a saloon.
The driver pulled up in front of Smiths.
Hickey, the messenger boy inc the driver
entered and a drinks. Hickey left the
place by a rear door. The driver heard
the door close and suspecting his bird
had flown rushed out the side door and
saw Hickey running down Warren street.
The driver followed. He caught hold OF
Hickey and insisted on receiving pay for
the time his cab had been used An ar
gument followed and the driver, who gave
his name as Michael Alexander, was bad
ly beaten.
Policeman Britton of the Gregory street
station put in his appearance and placed
Hickey under arrest. Hickey fought the
officer all the way to the station. Brit
ton was forced to use his club several
times before Hickey consented to lac-
company him. Hickey was finally locked
up in the City Prison During the night
he acted in a very disorderly tanner.
When arraigned before Justice Potts in
the First Criminal Court, yesterday,
Hickey was very penitent. He plead for
mercy. Justice Potts fine Hickey $40
n costs. The fine was paid. Alexan-
der appeared as the complainant.
