The death is announced at Genoa, at
the age of SO, of Pierre Maurier, a
Frenchman, who lived on the Island Of
Elba when Napoleon took up his COM
pulsory residence there in April, 1914.
Pierre remembered hearing the news
towards the end of February, 1915, that
the Emperor, with over 1000 followers,
had sailed away in feluccas bound for
Provence. The lad used to carry eggs
and fruit to the kitchen of the En-
peror and one day that famous poten-
tate caught him stoning dog and
sharply reproved him. Maurier was
presented to Victor Emmanuel in 1863
and the King was much interested
when he heard from Pierre's own lips
his memories of the great Napoleon.

Des Moines, Sept. 30.-Seventy-fve
pages of the Forthcoming report OF
Superintendent II. c. Barrett OF the
department. of public instruction
will be given over to the considera.
ton of questions of consolidation OF
rural independent districts and the
transportation of pupils.
SUPERINTENDENT Barrett intends to
| make the treatise on these subjects
in his report a valuable one that wall
he replete with information on these
important questions of school policy
He will present letters from county
superintendents in many parts OF
the state and from teachers and 9th
ers interested in educational matters
in Iowa, showing their views on con-
solidation and transportation. lie be-
lieves the testimony an doplnions OF
these persons will be Of much more
value and interest than discussion
of these matters by himself only
would be.
The report will make an interest
ing showing as to the growth OF the
movement for consolidation ana
transportation in Iowa. Two years
ago pupils were DellS tIdHSJol tCli III
twenty-five counties of the state and
to forty-eight schools. Since that
time the plan has been tried in
number of additional counties and
districts. 1t is not yet ascertained
just what the increase is, but Mr..
Barrett says it will be considerable.
One of the most interesting phases
of the extension of the system of
transportation of pupils is that Of
it's being taken up in some of the
city districts. Mr.. Barrett has let
ter from Supt. Clifford of the Council
Bluffs city schools, in which the lat
ter tells how transportation was
successfully utilized there. Lying at
the outskirts of the independent dis
trict of Council Bluffs was the Woods
bury school The attendance was
not large and the progress of the
pupils was not satisfactory, mas
much as the teacher had the time to
give but a few minutes to each of
her classes. The cost Of the school
to the district was $50 per month.
1t was decided to abandon the Wood
bury school and transport the pupils
to the most convenient ward schools.
The district has been able to do this
satisfactory at cost o. $50 per
month, thus effecting saving Of $50
per month by the change and Civ
ing the pupils much better educa-
tiOnal advantages

cInL BURNED TO DEATH.
Miss Elsa Price Meets HORRIBLE Death a.
Mitcheivilte.


Des Moines, Oct. 3.--Miss Elsa
Price, paroled inmate Of the girls
reformatory institution at Mitchell
vile, and present employe of that
institution was burned to death in a
horrible manner. The shocking ac-
cident in which Miss Price lost her
life occurred at 10 o'clock p. III. She
had lust returned from a walk down
town with one of the other instltu-
ton employees and had retired to her
room, which was situated in re-
mote part of the building. Ae few
moments later a piercing scream was
heard, and the woman on watch IN
the corridors ran to Miss Price $
room to find her standing in her
nightclothes in the middle of the
room. enveloped in flames. She was
so overcome by the fumes she had
inhaled that she could give no account
of the accident, and although every
thing was done to save her life, Miss
Price expired at o'clock a. IN. in
terrible agony. Superintendent F1tz-
gerald at once notified the board or
control and the girls parents, who
live at Corydon.
The supposition is that the girl had
undressed for bed without lighting
the lamp, as it was moonlight, and
that before retiring she struck
match for some purpose and ignlted
her clothes by accident.

Figures may not lie, but they are

especially, are apt to fall below what
Is expected of them. The recent CEN
sus of Canada shows population Of
1888, 1888, which is an increase of $685.
594 over the total of 1891. The gain of
about ten per cent in ten years seems
to many Canadians a meager result of
a decade Of prosperity, and Of energetic
efforts to promote immigration. But it
is the rule nowadays mat city popu-
lations grow faster than rural. and
Canada has few cities. Only eighteen
places in the Dominion have more
than ten thousand .inr abitants. But
there remains the consolation that not
all the elements of national greatness
are measured by count of heads.

Repeated Prophecies Have Been Found
False.
London, Oct. 3.--''For months past
we have been told" says the Daily
Graphic this morning. that if the
Beers would only abandon their elus-
i've tactics and come to close quarters,
we should see what we should see.
The Beers have taken us at our word.
and the results are not encouraging.
The chorus of dissatisfaction with
the inertia.of the government is ually
gathering force. Winston Churchill,
NJ. p, speaking last night at Oldham,
described the situation in South
Africa as SERIOUS and disquieting.'
He said the war could ret be ended
by proclamation of threats, but only
by vigorous military operations.
The Daily Mail and the Daily Chron-
icle comment upon the fact that the
huge British army is seemingly only
able to remain on the defensive.
The Standard says:
"The Beers are fighting with de-
termination and u contempt for their
own lives as were seldom shown in
the early periods of the war. Their
plan is to keep Lord Kitchener's army
busy in the north and to give the
rowing commanders in Cape Colony
an opportunity to raise the Cape
Dutch against Great Britain"

REM OPERATION.
Removal Of II Tnmor Weighing Eighty
six Pounds From " oman.

Sioux City, Oct. lin an operation
at Samaritan hospital on eighty-six
pound tumor was removed from Il
woman, who when relieved of the
great ovarian cyst weighed but little
more than it did. 1t was the largest
tumor ever removed in an opera ton
in Sioux City. The surgeons stated
it is not unusual for tumors to reach
this size, but it is very rare, as invari-
ably they are removed before they
become SO dangerously large. In
this case, however, the tumor was
allowed to grow because the woman
was believer in Christian science
and she insisted that the demonstra-
tions of healers and her faith would
remove it. Five or six years ago its
presence first became known, but she
insisted that there was no tumor and
in spite of the arguments of her hus-
band and the pleas of her friends
she refused to permit an operation.
She is on a fair way to recovery.

Des Moines, Oct. 4.--The sixth an

was the best in the history of the

agreeably surprised at the manner
| in which the convention had been

G. A. Stebbins of Red Oak as secre-
tary of the association. c. S. Clark
of Chicago was reelected to the sec
retaryship, but declined, owing to

The convention has resulted in a
better understanding as to the grad
ing of grain and has shown Iowa
grain men how their samples compare
with the hest from other SectiOS of
the country. Another outcome was
| the organization of a national asso-
station of grain inspectors.
Memphis won the convention of
1902 mainly on the proposition that
| hundreds of grain men from the
south would become affiliated with
!he association if they could be in
auced to attend one of the conven-
tons. Officers were elected as fol-
lows: President, B. A. LOCKWOOD;

of buckingham had eighteen acres
of potatoes this year. Although the
crop here is very light, he gets 500
bushels to the eighteen acre field.
The price here at present is $1.25
