SCHOOL
GROWTH
Gain More Than 100
Over Last Year.
Shows Growth of City and
Excellent Reputation of Our
Public School System.

Through the kindness of Supt. III. IT
Savage we are enabled to place before
our readers an account OF the growth
OF our schools during the past year.
Last year at the close of the week
corresponding to the one Just past,
there were II regular school rooms
with IL instructors; there are now is
regular rooms and 20 instructors.
The enrolment was then 652 and is
now i62. This growth is noticeable
throughout the entire school. The
kindergarten highest enrolment to
date last year was 53, and is this year
65: the grammar grades had last year
81 pupils and now have l45: the high
school enrolled last year 100 and this
year ia. With the three additional
instructors in the grades there is still
an average of AZ pupils for each room.
which is considered full enrolment.
Notwithstanding the large increase
in the high school during the past few
years the teaching force has remained
l +
the same, and some of the classes are
double the number they should be for
the best results. The large class to
enter next year from the grammar
grade will make the need of another
| high school instructor very imperative.
Such conditions of growth always give
opportunity for enlarging the efficiency
and usefulness of the schools. 1t has
been the purpose of the present man.

SUBSIDY BILL LAID ASIDE
Senate Devotes Itself to Appropriation
Bills--Bacon Insists Departments Should
Conceal No Information.

Washington, Feb. 5.-The ship SUBJ
sidy bill was laid aside informally by
the senate yesterday to permit consid-
GRAFTON of the appropriation bills. The
shipping bill holds its place and as
the unfinished business can be taken
up when the appropriation, bills are not
occupying attention.
The greater part of the time of the
senate was given to listening to a
speech of Bacon, on the right of the
senate to demand information on file
in the executive departments. He
took the position that the departments
are the creatures of congress, and that
departmental denial Of any demand
for papers on file was preposterous,
contending that for 100 years there had
been practically no refusal to recognize
this right Secretary Longs letter re-
garding the Santiago naval rewards
caused discussion, in which senators
upheld their course in this matter.

TO KILL
Hans Hansen Warned.
Put Up OF be Killed
Reward is Offered for Arrest
Of Letter Writer -Tryst

On Saturday morning an anonymous
letter was found fastened to Hans
Hansen's gate. Mr.. Hansen lives on a
farm seven miles south of Charter Oak
and is well-to-ao and we'll known.
farmer. On Saturday, he. assisted by
his neighbors had been hauling hogs
to market, and as the price was good
he was known to have considerable
money. The letter was found on the
front gate fastened by wire, it was
writtenin what appears to be a woman's
hand and we produce an exact copy.
read all Of this
Little Hans
We have been watching you for some
time we want money out of you if you
don't give it to us we will kill you Or
some of your family we ore doing this
kind of word all over the cuntry and
you cant catch us because we are used
to 1t and we are watching you if you
tell any body about it we will kill you
any how. We want $1,000 one Thous-
and dollars Now you get 25 500 bills and
30$1O bills and 10 $5 bills and the rest
in silver and go to about the center of
your plowing by the road and put it
there in little ten pail and a red len
tern by iJand then go back home.
Now if any of ore men that is watching
you sees you show this letter to any
body or tell any body about it or if you
/ don't give us the money we will kill YOU
or some of your family now don't think
we won't because we will and it wont
be the first one either. Now this
Thursday or Saterday night at u oclok
you go where we told you and leave
the money and the lantern and keep
still and we will never bother you but
if you don't why then look out.
On reading the letter Mr.. Hansen
quietly told some of his trusted neigh
bors about the nature of the communi-
cation and at night they followed in.
structions carefully except that shot
guns and rifles took the place Of ten
and twenty dollar bills. The party OF
neighbors waited for several hours but
no one came to keep the other end oi
the appointment, and Mr.. Hansen now
offers a reward of 1926 for any informa.
tion leading to the arrest OF the party
or parties who sent the mysterious
warming. This sounds very much like
a Pat Grove story, but the reward of.
fered is a genuine one and Mr.. Hansen
will gladly part with the amount if he
can get any information as to who the
guilty parties are. He is not afraid
tnat the threats will be carried out but
is rightly indignant that such a thing
could happen in an orderly community
No one was seen near the gateway and
the letter was found there by little
girl Of one Of the neighbors who was
coming on an errand. 1t is Judged
from the time the letter was 'sposted'
that it was written by someone who
had intimate knowledge of Mr.. Han
sens affairs and knew that he had
money with him at the time. Since
the Cudahy kidnapping there has been
an epidemic of this kind of criminal
attempts, and if the guilty parties are
caught they should be punished sc
severely as to be a lesson to criminals
throughout the land.

Regards the Irish as Brotht rs
in Oppression.
No Faith in British Promiscs--Not
Afraid of ProcIamations.
Could Rebuild Country but Must Have Absolute
independence.

London. Aug. 1S.-The Freeman n S
Journal of Deblin publishes an inter
view between MI. Kruger and VIM.
Redmond in Hilversum. Holland. in
the course Of which the former. presi-
dent Of the South African republic. ex-
pressing gratitude for Irish support.
said he regarded the Irish as brothers
in oppression and urged the Nation
alist members of the British Parlia-
ment to continue their efforts i'm the
cause OF justice and TRUTH
When asked concerning the effect of
Lord kitchener's recent prOclamatio
and of Mr.. Chambcrlains speeches,
MI. Kruger replied:
My people are not to be frightened
by such proclamations or speeches
which will only encourage them to con-
tinuc fighting.
The British have used armed ma
tives against the burghers from the be-
ginning. but we have not used armed
katiirs. 1t has always been against our
principles to use the black man against
the white.
MI. Kruger emphatically denied the
existence of a Dutch conspiracy against
British influence in South Africa
When asked regarding Great Britains
promises as to treatment Of the Beers,
after surrender. he said:
Il know Great Britain's promises.
You in Ireland ought also to know
them. The British promise to lend us
money to put things right. Then. if it
were not repaid our land would lie
taken. They ask us to allow rope to
be put around our necks and to call
that freedom. We should be slaves
After expressing his firm conviction
that God in good time would give the
Beers deliverance. he remarked:
Even now we could rebuild our
country. but to do so we must have
full Independence
He emphasized the word full" When
asked about farm burning and the con-
centration camps he exclaimed:
Why d" they fight women and chill
dren! There are our own men 10 fight
against. ! do not believe the British
people know what is being done in their
name. If they did know they would
stop it
Mr.. Kruger said nothing had been
definitely settled on the subject of a
visit to the United States. According
10 Mr.. Redmond his appearance bellies
the idea that he is breaking up either
mentally or physically.

The race was sailed under conditions
that best suited the Constitution, a
steady eight knot breeze and smooth

II was finished in three hours and

the wind and the fact that II miles of
the course called for windward work.
Although it was not a dead beat the
Constitution gained on her rival on
