Joubert is dead.
Pretoria, March 2s-Gen. Joubert
died last night at 1880. He had been
suffering from stomach complaint. The
town is plunged into mourning for a
true. patriot, gallant general and up
right, honorable gentleman.
Gen. Peterus Jacobus Joubert, COM
manding general of the Transvaalers,
better known as Piet Joubert. or 'Slien
Piet' (Slim Peter), was born about 6S
years ago. He was descended from an
old French Hugenot family, which set
tied in South Africa many years ago.
He was born in Cape Colony, but was
taken by his parents when years old
to the Orange Free State. He is de-
scribed as being utterly fearless. OF
schooling he had but little and he never
saw a newspaper until he was . years
old. In spite of this, his ambition
prompted him to read the few books he
could obtain, and he succeeded in OBJ
taining a fair knowledge of history and
languages. In consequence of the ac-
QUESTION of Natal by the British, his
parents moved from Natal and settled
in the Transvaal He was elected vice
president of the Transvaal in 1896. He
defeated Sir George Colley at Majuba
Hill in 1881. He acted as president q
the republic in 1888 and 1854 during
Kruger's absence in Europe. 1t was
due TO Joubert that the South African
republics succeeded in amassing the
immense stores of war munitions ant
provisions whoch stood them in suci
good stead during the conflict now ii
progress.

ROBERTS NOT OVER CONFIDENT.
British General Proceedin. With
Caution-Bocrs Are still Active.

London, March 2S.--Lord Roberts,
unlike many or mis- feiioa cvunttynen.
apparently does not think lightly of the
problem with which he has To deal III
making his way from Bloenfontein 10
Pretoria. He knows that in spite of nu
merous surrenders and all optimistic
reports from the British point of view
the Beers are pressing close to his out
posts and will lose no opportunity of
firing on his men.
The commander-in-chie is peculiar
among English military officers for his
ability to guard against overcontidenee
and accurately to estimate the lighting
qualities of his foe.
The prolonged pause at Bloemfontein
is likely to last until Gems. Gatacre and
Clements and Brabant shall have swept
the belligerent burghers from the
southern half of the Orange Free State,
80 as to make Lord Roberts communi-
cations perfectly secure.
Certainly no movement is probable
while Boer forces of indefinite size are
reported to be lurking in the hills of a
territory which correspondents long ago
'.pacified'' by the power of the pen.
Dispatches which say that Lord
Roberts is to meet his wife on her ar

rival at Cape Town would suggest that
some time must elapse before the Brit

tion OF the Beers.

HERRIOT PROTEST.
1t is Filed This Afternoon and is
Lengthy Documcnt-The Grist of 1t
Given Herewith.

Special to Republican.
Des Moines, March Estate Treas
urer Herriott filed his annual protest
against the railway assessment this
afternoon. 1t consists of about 15,000I
words, partly an argument in support
of his theories, but largely consisting
of an explanation OF why he refused to
act with the other members of the ex-
ecutiye council in making the assess
ment. He claims that he refused to
sit with the council and participate in
1.-THE assessment for fear of exciting Au-
ditor Merriam, who was still Very i'll.
| Treasurer Herriott says he offered To
consent To allow Merriam's Vote to be
lrecorded on the assessment without his
being present. and that Merriams
| presence was Unnecessary, "a s Herriott
| promised not to question the validity of
/ the assessment if this plan was
adopted. The other members of the
Icomcil declined to do this for two rea-
sons. MIR. Merriam was called home for
\ the Very purpose of assisting in making
the assessment and Mr. Herrott and
| his friends claimed tina; it would be in
valid unless three members Of the
council voted for it and there is no au-
| thority III law for permitting member
! to Vote unless he is present.
4 The friends OF Auditor Merriam
feared that unless he was present
Treasurer Herrictt would not partiei-
| pate in the assessment unless satisfac-
tory 70 him. Mr.. Merriam was brought
/ home by his father 50 that he might
not be held responsible for any difficult
lty that might occur. This was done
without the solicitation Of any mem
! bers of the council or any other per-
son, so far as known. Auditor Narri-
am has gone 10 his fathers home in
lCoggin He is rapidly gaining strength
and Will be soon as well as ever.

INDIAN School WORK
Annual Report of the Superin-
tendent, Miss Estelle Reel.
Industrial Training for Boys and
Girls of Paramount Importance
stock Raising and Farming Tor
the Former and Teaching of
Household Duties for the Latter.

Miss Estelle Reel, General Superintend-
ent of Indian Schools, has just issued her
third annual report on the Indian schools
of the United States. In addition to Civ
ing much interesting data, she discusses
In an Interesting way the condition, the
needs, and the prospects of the Indian
schools, treating the Indian question in
a clear manner and from a practical
point Of view.
Miss Reel emphasizes the overshadow-
ing Importance of Industrial training for
both BOYS and girls. The boys should be
taught stock raising and farming and
given a sufficient knowledge of tools to
enable them to mend their wagons and
farm implements and shoe their horses,
and the girls should be trained in the art
of practical housekeeping. The teaching
of the household duties to the girls is
even more important than Industrial
training for the boys, says Miss Reel, for
with the future wives and mothers will
rest the fate of coming generations. The
Indian child should be given knowledge
of the English language, but 1t Is not wise
to spend years over subjects for which,
in all probability, he will have no use
in later life. The problem now before
us is the selection OF the best method for
transforming the Indian from consumer
into a producer. He must be brought to
the point where he will have respect
for the dignity of labor and where he will
have the ambition to support his family
and not look to the Government for help.
The moment we can induce the Indian
to labor voluntarily for his own welfare,
from that moment his future Will be as
sured. This point will be reached only
through patient application and faithful
work along industrial lines.
The superintendent strongly endorses
the outing system as one of the most eff
fective means of training the children in
habits of civilized life. The outing sys-
TEN, which originated with Major Pratt,
of the Carlisle School, Pennsylvania,
consists in placing the Indian children
The times., 1900-12-24

in good white homes where they will be
treated as one of the family and paid a
small sum for their services. Here they
are constantly subject to ciyilizing in
fuences of the most practical nature,
and acquire habits of right living. The
property ownership plan has proml-
nent place in Miss Reels system Of
training. and the cultivation of better
crops and more acres of land Is constant
ly urged.
Miss Reel also pleads thatia compul-
sorry law for the Indians be enacted and
enforced. She recites the difficulty and
often impossibility of inducing the old
Indians TO permit their children to attend
school, and says that the future of these
children should not be allowed to be
blasted by the superstitious ignorance
and prejudice Of parents.
During the twenty-six months Miss
Reel has been in Office she has devoted
her undivided time and attention to the
betterment of the Indian. Over seven
teen months of this time she has spent
in the field. Her plan of action has been
to visit the Indian in camp and in the
school, observing the peculiarities of the
different tribes and endeavoring to de-
wise plans that will work the greatest
good to the greatest number and make
them self-supporting.
Travel in the Indian country is of
very difficult and fatiguing character,
reservations in the West being far apart
and located in wild and remote regions
of the Rockies, in almost inaccessible
canons. or Isolated on the bosom of vast
prairies. To reach them the superin-
tendent has Travelled Al ,13S miles, 2,0S7
miles being by wagon, on horseback, and
on foot. Increased enrolment, better ac-
commodations, greater facilities for in
dustrial training, and gratifying improve
ment over previous years, are noted.
Miss Reel speaks in the highest praise
of the earnest Christian administration
of Commissioner w. A. Jones, and the
ability and zeal he displays in advancing
the cause of the country's aborigines.

who think they have found the solution
Of this ime-honored problem, just as
Archimedes and Plato were, in their time,
constrained to deal with the same class
of persons upon the same matter. The
question may be asked, Why should squar-
! ing the circle be given preference among
crank mathematicians, ancient and mod
ern over other unsolved problems of
| greater Importance? The answer is that
| the squaring of the circle is about the
only mathematical problem that is known
| to the unprofessional world-at least by
name. The Greeks even had special
word in their language signifying per-
| sons busying himself with the solution
of the problem.
But in addition to the antiquity of the
| mathematical riddle, and the fact also
that it is so widely known to the lay
world there is yet another factor that
induces people to take up with it. This
is the report that has been periodically
spread abroad for a hundred years back
that the Academies the Queen of Eng
land. or some other influential person or
scientific body has offered great prize
to be given to the one that first solves
the problem.
Although the opinion is widely current
in the unscientifc world that professional
mathematicians are still busted with the
solution of the problem, this is by no
means the case. On the contrary, for
some two hundred years, the endeavors
of many considerable mathematicians
have been solely directed toward demon
strating with exactness that the problem
is insolvable. Up TO within few years
ago. however, no one succeeded in supply
ing the wished-for demonstration of the
problems impossibility. At last, Prof.
Lindemann, of Konigsberg, in June, 1882,
IL rr-ar inn
for the first time, that it is impossible, by
the employment exclusively OF ruler and
compasses, to construct square that is
ma automatically exactly equal in area to
a given circle. This demonstration was
only made possible by the advanced stage
of mathematics at the time. Of course,
it will have no more effect than the reso-
luton of the Paris Academy of 17I5 in
causing the race of circle-squarers to van
ish from the face of the earth. The recent
communication to the Smithsonian Insti
tuition proves this. There seems some
mystic fascination in the problem which
renders it immortal.
