Gen. J. H. Wilson, who has returned
from military service in China, says
that the interior of the imperial pal
ace at Picking gave much evidence of
the poverty existing in China. The
throne room was dirty and the
throne itself nothing but a wooden
chair gilded. The, emperor's bed was
hard, without a mattress or springs,
and covered only by a mat. These
revelations do not sustain the com
mon impression of oriental luxury
and magnificence,s and show how diff

the bodies of eve of them cremated

The gasoline was in a tank and was
part of the supply of a gasoline boat

the tank was lost from the boat and

Normal Schools.

The State Educational Association

before the legislative assembly this
winter and make requests for some
legislation of a radical nature and
general interest. State Superinten-
deaf Halland, at the close of four
years experience in educational work,
makes some recommendations that
that will be endorsed by the educa-
tional association and favorable CON
sideration asked from the legislature.
Perhaps the most important of these
recommendations will be that the main
tenance of the two normal schools of
the state, at Mayville and Valley City,
and the state department of public in
struction, be placed upon the interest
and income fund of the permanent
school fund endowment of the state,
and the weight of these expenses
taken from the state general fund.
