ga peculiar feature in connection
with u schools is that girls, strange
as it may appear, are more expert in
the class of work usually considered
as exclusively masculine because of
it's nature than are the boys. To give
you an illustration: The girls in our
manual training department design
ed and completed a 20-foot steam
launch hat is concededly superior in
every respect to many of the high
priced launches owned by those who
can afford such luxuries. The plans
were drawn by girls and every bit
of work ~entailed in the construction
of the craft, except the castings for
the engine and other parts where
casting enters into it's composition.
The model of the engine is theirs and
the work of finishing and assembling
is theirs, and l must say that many a
man who is drawing good wages in
Duluth machine shops given owe to
manufacture of that kind of articles
would cut a sorry figure were he to
attempt to beat the girls. Only hard
wood is employed in the boat and the
seats and finishing are all of cedar.
with us the privilege Of taking a
course in manual training is bestow-
ed as a reward of merit. Only such
scholars as have exceptionally good
records for ~studiousness, punctuality
and the other requirements of chill
dren attending schools who wish to
attain high standing are permitted to
enter the classes. And it ould sur
prise you to see what an incentive it

TRAINING.
How 1t Works In At Least One
City.

B. H. DuBoise of Duluth, Mimi,
was among the strangers in the city
yesterday against whom a Gazette
man brushed up in his wanderings
about town. Mr.. DuBoise is consid-
erably interested in educational mat
tiers and among the first inquiries he
made concerning the city was a re-
quest for information about the
schools. When given an outline of
what was being done and the aims
and ambitions of the board of educa-
ton he seemed well satisfied and ex-
pressed surprise that a city OF the
size of Billings should be possessed
of such ample and excellent facilities
for imparting knowledge to it's youth.
| What apparently impressed him the
most %agreeably was the fact that a
manual training department has been
added to the high school and at once
| grew eloquent on the subject.
1.-THE tendency of modern educa-
ton and educators" he said, sis to
run to fads, unless a well balanced
head is in charge Of the schools and
does not permit the tendency in that
regard to master good sense and
Judgment. When first instituted man.
ual training in connection with pub
lie schools had many opponents, who
regarded it in the light of a fad. l
confess that l was among those who
did not take kindly to the innovation.
But time and experience, as well as
observation have convinced me that
they and l were wrong. The bene-
fits to be derived from a sensible.

1t is good for the mind of the student
as it teaches him order and gives
him the rudiments at least of much
good, practical knowledge that may
in later life be of inestimable benefit
to him in many ways.

Of the Butte men who were arrested

was to prevent the further prosecu-

FIRE AT SIGOURNEY
Old Wooden Mill is Entirely Con-
sumed.
ORIGIN OF THE BLAZE IS UNKNOWN
Was no Insurance-ReIonsed to cou-
pie of Kansas SpecuIators-Build-
ing Was Saturated With Oil and
Burned FierceIy--Loss is Total.

Sigourney, Oct. 1O.-(SpeciaD This
town was the scene of a big fire early
Wednesday morning. At o'clock the
alarm was sounded and people came
out to find the flames wildly raging
and rapidly devouring the old Wooden
Mill, which stands two blocks north of
the square. The building was about
12Ox40 feet, was dry and saturated
with oil and the consuming flames pro-
duced tremendous heat. The fire.
fighters had a task to keep the sur
rounding buildings from catching. The
mill was burned to the ground and con-
siderable machinery destroyed. There
were eight card machines, four spin
ming jacks, an engine and various 9TH
er things in it. 1t is understood there
was no insurance. The origin of the
fire is not known.
The main part of the building used
to stand block farther north, and was
used as the Major Hotel. About thir-
ty-five years ago it was moved to its
present location, and has since been
known as the Sigourney Wooden
Mills. Several additions have been
built to it. 1t has lately belonged to
"a couple Of Kansas spectators.

Moulton, Oct. 1O.-CSpecial.)- Last
evening, few minutes after 5 o'clock,
as the Wabash passenger train was
speeding northward, near the home of
j. N. Stansberry, two miles south of
town, a little child some three years
old, was discovered on the track, but
too late to stop the train. 1t was
struck and instantly killed. The ia
Their, Charley Gregory, had just gone
into the pasture near his home to kill
a quail for his wife who is very sick,
and it is supposed that the child had
attempted to follow him, and in do
ing so had got onto the track near
the house and followed it some dis
lance where it was killed.

THE GANG is LOCATED.
Alleged Band of Horsethieves Said to
Be Located. aga

Corydon, Oct. 10.-(SpeciaD- is
now said that the gang of horse thieves
that has been operating in this section
of the state is about to be broken up.
The arrest of Frank Brannan, propri-
etor of the Barker Hotel at Promise
City, seven miles east of here, on the
Keokuk & Western railroad, on the
charge of horse stealing indicates, it
is said, that the headquarters of the
gang have been located, and that the
ringleaders will soon be behind the
bars.
Brannan has been under suspicion
for some time, and as large number
of horses had been stolen from the
vicinity of Promise City and in Appa-
moose county recently, the officers con-
cluded it was time to begin active op-
erations. The last team stolen was
traced to Mystic, where it is alleged
Brannan sold it, taking a note for the
same. This was the prime cause of his
arrest. He escaped from the officers,
however, but was traced to his home
in Promise City few nights later,
where he was again arrested by Sher
if Clemie and taken to Centerville.
A larger number of the horses stol-
Gil WClS ldhSu W llSSOull, WuSIG luSy
were disposed of. Brannan came to
Promise City from Milan, Mo-, over a
year ago.
Gang in an Early Day.
Just thirty years ago this county
passed through just such another epf-
demic and was only broken up by the
lynching of Bill Lyons, who was sup
posed to have been the ringleader. At
that time fine animals were not so
plentiful as now, but horse flesh was
high and stolen goods easily disposed
of over the Missouri line, and at good
profit. AS the operations of the gang
became more frequent and successful,
they also became more bold, and this
led to the hanging. in which Lyons was
the star performer.
William Booth, farmer living a
mile east of town had fine gray team,
which at that time was considered the
| finest span of horses in Wayne county.
Booth was proud of his horses and
kept close watch on his barn, but one
night in April they disappeared The
robbery was discovered early in the
morning and posse Immediately
started in pursuit. At the Missouri
| line trace of the horses was lost, but
a few days after the team was locat
ed on a farm short distance from
where the village of Lucerne, Mo-, is
now located. Lyons was identified as
the man who had sold the horses, was
arrested and brought to Corydon for
trial. The second night after his i'm.
lprisonment mob battered down the
Jail door, took him five miles south OF
here and hung him to pile driver.
The rest of the gang disappeared and
horse stealing in Wayne county has
never been heard of again until year
ago, since which time it has been in
creasing.
There is no probability of this case
ending as that of thirty years ago, even
should Brannan be proven guilty. AS
Promise City is alleged to have been
headquarters for this gang it is quite
certain the rest of the thieves will
seek greener fields.
