Stock, the new Indian agent at the

has issued an order torbidding all
employees of the government from
dancing at the agency or upon the
reservation He declares that he
is compelled to forbid Indian
dancing, and that good example
should be placed before them by
himself and all employees, and
that when he informs the Indians
that all persons, whites as we'll as
reds, are forbidden to dance, they
will be much more willing to
obey.

CARELESS BURGLARS.
Two Of Them Light a Match
at the Wrong Time.

The E. N. Ratcliff Mercantile
company is mourning the loss of
two burglars and large plate
glass window today. Last night
about IL o'clock DR.. G. w. Day,
in passing before the clothing
room OF the Ratcliff store. noticed
a peculiar light in the rear end of
the store. Watching for mo-
ment be made out the figures of
two men, who were looking over
the goods by the aid OF light fur
nished with matches. He re-
turned to the Peoples drug store,
where J. r. Sheehan, Tommy
Sheehan and Tom Monigan were
just closing up after the crowd as
sembled there to get election re-
suits had dispersed.
Mayor Sheehan and DR.. Day
went to the rear of the store, while
Tommy Sheehan and Tom Moni-
gan took the front sidewalk. The
back door was found open and the
burglars were going through some
clothing near the center of the
store. Mr.. Sheehan stepped in-
side and called to the thieves to
put up their hands, put instead OF
complying both of them made a
rush for the front, and while the
mayor fired two or three shots
after them, his aim was bad on
account of the darkness and
through fear of hitting one Of the
party on the front sidewalk.
The action of the burglars would
indicate years Of experience. Few
men, unless badly frightened and
excited, would attempt to leave
building via plate glass window.
But these two gentlemen seemed
in no wise disconnected, and went
through the window with an ease
suggestive of having done so be-
fore. The watchers on the side
walk were unarmed and the sud-
den appearance of the burglars at
their unconventional exit so sur
prised them that for moment no
action was possible. The chase
lasted until the marauders reached
the railroad yards, where they
separated, and by quarter horse
squirt lost the pursuers in the
darkness.
From a part of the old wearing
apparel left behind and letters in
the coat, suspicion points to a pair
OF negroes halling from Fort Scott
and who have been in town two or
three days. 1t is the opinion Of
the authorities that they are yet in
town and will be captured. Cuts
received from the falling glass may
help lead to the arrest.
Probably the same parties
entered the grocery Of Felix Cow
en-, and secured something over So
in cash from the till. Also the
meat market Of Gus Nichols, which
escaped without serious loss.

EducntionnI Pcnnnce.

At the beginning of the school year.
when all the children OF school age and
many young men and women of maturer
years are looking forward to nine months
of more or less profitable study. it may be
well to point out one deficiency in the
ideals of the average educator which is
Tot generally recognized. 1t is the dispo-
sition not TO be thorough.
Many teachers will indignantly deny this
lnt in the same breath they Will be apt
10 declare that they are as thorough as
they have chance to be. 1t is this very
lack Of opportunity that is the curse of
American education today.
1t lies heaviest on schools in which the
ethical principle is supposed to govern the
teachers and supervisors. When the prin-
eiEal of school begins to talk about the
value of mental discipline, in a vague kind
of way. and enlarge upon the beauty of
having an allaround education. it is rea-
sonably safe to infer that if there are

WALL PAPER PRINTERS STRIKE.
Jersey WorLmen Disputing Over the
Matter of Puy.

NEW BRUNSWICK N J, Sept 2l-
Because forty-odd men will not work
about five hundred men are obliged to re-
main idle in this city. The men who will
not work are the machine printers at the
wallpaper factory of Janeway & Co. The
idae operatives are the other employees of
th= plant, because, without the printers,
work cannot go on This condition of af-
fairs has prevailed for about TWO weeks.
and the strikers are not disposed to meet
the terms of the firm.
When the local wallpaper factories
were absorbed by the trust an a agreement
was made with the printers whereby they
were paid an annual salary, whether they
worked or not. Recently the trust was
dissolved, and the local factories reverted
riod of four or five days intervening pe-
tween the change of control of the plants,
during which the factories were smut
down.
The printers employed in Janeway &
Carpenters works were so rejoieed az
being released from the control of the
trust that they decided to leave to the
firm the question CT pay for those few
days. Not so with the printers at Jane
way & Co They demanded that the firm
should assume the Indebtedness and pay
them. This the firm was reluctant to de-
and pending an adjustment of the matter
the printers took an uDcompromising az
titude, and the breach between the en-
ployers and employees was widened. The
firm has given up all idea of compromise
and effort will be made to fill the
places Of the strikers with new men.

THE CANADIAN TARIFF.
Imports From the United States Ex-
ceed Those of Great Britain,


The Canadian preferential tariff in ia
yor of the United Kingdom has not had
the expected effect of reducing the pro-
portion which the United States supplies
OF manufactures imported into Canadian
territory a copy of the Canadian Man
ufacturer. just received by the Treas
ury Department Bureau of Stats 5ics
sharply calls attention TO the fact that
imports Of Gutiable articles into Canada
from the United States in the fiscal year
1899 aggregated over S44, 600, and
from Great Britain less than $2S 600, ,00a,
and that the United States is furnishing
a much larger amount of manufactures
of iron and steel than the United King
dom. and adds
THE preponderance of trade is over
whe,minglJ in favor of American manu-
lectures, and, tariff preference in favor
of British goods to the contrary net
withstanding, American manufacturers
are taking the cream of the business. Is
it possible that British manufacturers
are entirely unable to compete in The
Canadian market?
The Canadian tariff it will be remem-
bered, was in 1897 so adjusted that the
duty on articles entering Canada from
the United Kingdom was made, begin
ming with April, 1897, u IL per cent
less than the rate from other parts of
the world. and on July !, 1888, another
reduction in favor of the United King
dom was made bringing the total re-
duction 10 % per cent as against goods
coming from other parts of the world.
a recent announcement indicates that.
beginning with July l. 1900, a still further
reduction would be made so that the rates
of duty on articles from the United King
dom would be 80 1-3 per cent less than
those from other parts of the world. While
the effect of the third reduction of II IL
per cent which went into operation July
/ 1860, cannot yet be determined, it is
practicable to compare the imports of man
ufactuTes into Canada from the United
Kingdom and the United States, respec-
lively. during the years ended June so,
1898. 1899, and 1900 and thus determine
whether the advantages which the manu-
facturers OF the United Kingdom have had
over those Of the United States during
that time have had a perceptible effect up
on the relative growth of the imports of
Canada from the two countries the United
Kingdom and the United States
Incidentally it may also be mentioned
that the total exports to British North
America from the United States in the ifs
cal year 1900 exceeded those of any pre-
vious year in our history being $97 04f 722
against $500 45S in 1899. and $S4, ,8S9, SO

dozen students in that school with special
talents, almost amounting to genius, that
teacher will do all he can to prevent lheir
being developed.
Most children. and most men and women,
have not the time or ability to assimilate
an all-around education, and if they had it
might not be of much use to them. An all
around high school training means simply
a little of everything and not much of any
thing; and it is this superficiality which
leads to scamping, shoddiness, and dishon-
esty in our Industrial world.
There are some teachers who still cling
to the pernicious doctrine that one should
study the things he particularly dislikes
In pursuance of this mistaken theory, it

He cannot, and it makes him feel like a

ought to try to master mathematics.
and spends weary hours crying over her
algebra instead of studying what she
really has an aptitude for, and can
learn easily. The consequence of it all
is that these two young people reach ma

anything thoroughly, and some country
