Captured Filipino Fortress.

The fortress Of insurgent Chief
Geronimo at Pinauran, which the
insurgents boosted as impregnable,
was taken and destroyed Thursday
afternoon by a picked force of the
Forty and Twenty-eighth
infantry and Troop 6 Of the
Fourth cavalry uuder Colonel
Thompson. Geronimo and most
of the rebels escaped. The leader
had long harassed the Twenty
seventh infantry, operating in the
vicinity Of San Mateo, Montalban
and Novaliches. He was finally
located at Pinauran, 30 miles
north Of Manila. His position was
considered the strongest in Luzon
1t was stone fortress surmount-
ing a steep hill surrounded by
canyons The American loss was
four killed and twelve wounded
The insurgcnt casualties could not

Back from Nome.

j. S. Marsh, who left Lucille
last spring for the Nome gold
fields, returned last week satisfied
to remain in Idaho. He says
there has been considerable gold
taken out, but when one con-
siders the great number of people
digging for it the individual
portion is small, and about the
only people who are ahead are the
transportation companies. Him.
self and two partners took out
about $500 while there but the
cost of living was SO great that
they had but little left.
Thousands of dollars worth of
machinery is lying on the beach,
much of which has never been used
and the heavy storms are render
ing it worthless or burying it il
| the sand.
Mr.. Marsh left Nome on Oct.
Is, and, like thousands of others
is thoroughly convinced that there
is more to be made in the mines oil
Idaho than hunting for imaginar,

School Column.

Bell Smith, Ed. Thompson and
Helmuth Matthiesen are the new
pupils enrolled IN the high school
department.
A change has been made in onr
course of study so that plane geom
etry will be offered in the tenth
grade. This will give the pupils
ample time to complete both plane
and solid geometry. A class in
plane geometry will be organized
next week.
Drawing has been introduced in
all departments Of our school. In
the high school drawing will alter
nate with penmanship.
There have been a great many
pupils absent during the past
month. To certain extent this
lrrcgularity Of attendance is due TO
sickness, but in many cases it Is
due to carelessness on TIL part OIL
parents in allowing their children
to absent themselves from school
for some trivial reason. The sue
cess of any school depends upon
the interest and cooperation Of pa
rents; and if parents could only be
made to realize the great necessity
Of having their children present
every day, we believe they would
be more willing to cooperate with
the teaches. The best work can
be done only be the pupils being
present every day. Parents. you
cannot afford to have your child do
other than the best. Regularity
and pnnctuality are traits of chtr-
acter that should be early instilled.
Where can it be better done than
in connection with the school? 1t
should be remembered, also, that
good work can not be done in
school while the child attends reg
ularly the street sessions. His
whole time and energy is needed
in his work. His evenings should
be earnestly employed with his
work. But even if this were not
necessary, the associates formed,
the conversation INDUCED in. and
the habits contracted on the streets
are not likely to be conclusive e
good school work Or good citizen
ship. The object Of the school is
not alone to impart knowle 'ge but
to help the pupil to live truly ano
to form such habits MS will insure
noble lives We earnestly desire
the cooperation of parents in keep
ing their children in school regn
larly.

sLovENLY TYpEwRIrINc.
TsaAsvaal Operator Whe sAcriacsA
NsatAsss and Proper style
for Speed.

The people who are expert operators
on the typewriting machines usually
do their work SO rapidly that they write
in full the words which the writer by
the old pen and ink method expresses
by signs and authorizations, but it seems
that even the machines must now resort
to authorizations in order to turn out
the work as rapidly as it is required.
A letter received recently from the
Transvaal shows that even in that far
away country the typewriter works I'M
der high pressure. The sheet is thickly
sprinkled with diagonal dashes and dis
connected letters, which at the first
glance give it the appearance of having
served the operator as practice sheet.
But closer inspection shows that the
dashes and letters are labor saving alb
breviations.
Thus: = man " went to house
found locked"
"One o leading citizens appeared Z.
defense"
He took hold o mans hand W his, -
etc.
The people who write letters in this
way may save little time. but the let
tiers are samples of slovenliness which
will probably make. the method unpop-
ular.--N. Y. Tribune.

CANCER AND CATTLE.

said they DO.

r. Jasper More, Esq.. N. r., has writ
ten the following interesting letter to
the secretary Of the Cancer society:
AT the request of Sir Charles Cam
eron, l beg leave to send suggestion
as to the origin of cancer, which Sir
Walter Foster and others have thought
well worth consideration, and to which
| should have drawn attention in the
house had there been any discussion on
tuberculosis, which would have aford-
ed the opportunity.
Having for many years as an anna
teur devoted what attention could to
the question, l am happy to think your
society affords a chance of theories be-
ing examined.
AT the annual meeting of the Royal
Agricultural society, held in the rooms
of the Medical society in Hanover
square at the end Of last year, mem
Der said there were many cancerous
cattle, and much cancerons meat eaten
and that he thought the question OF
whether cancer in human beings owed
its origin to this cause should be ex.
amined quite as much as the connection
between tuberculosis in cattle and con
sumption. / followed him and tried II
draw further attention to the point. blu,
it seemed to take the president ant
council by surprise, and no more wal
said.
"Since then have made considerable
inquiry into the question among farm
ers Of all kinds whom I could trust.
have inquired, first, whether cancer il
common among cattle, and, secondly
whether the meat is sold for food whel
it is known the animals suffer from ii
THE result of my inquiries is tina
cancer is far more common among cat
tie than tuberculosis; and, secondly
that the meat of those cattle suffering
from it is generally sold for food.
| III this is the case, it seems to me, a
an amateur, that az the custom is $
prevalent of eating meat UNDERGONE,
the meat is not thoroughly cooked can
Ger may be spread in this way.
Where cancer is hereditary, Nigh
not this be the first cause?
The farmers tell me that cancer i
generally found near the lips or tn
throat of the COW. The matter may b
kept quiet by them in such cases, i
which the animal seems generally to b
killed and sold for food, often only hal
