MEXICO AND THE FAIR.

Albino r. Nuncio, Secretary of the De
partment Of Public Promotion of Mexico
and Chief OF the Exposition Patents and
Trademarks Office, who spent Saturday
in st. Louis, gave token of the interest
which Mexico and ST. Louis feel in each
otbe..
His announcement that Mexico will
outdo itself In making an exhibit at the
Worlds Fair in 1903 is welcome to st.
Louisans. you see, we are more in
terested in your Fair than In any other
that has taken place in the past" he is
reported as having said, because 1t cele-
brstes an event in the history Of the
West and the Southwest which is
very close to us. Then, too, st. Louis is
a center Of Mexican trade, and our peo-
pie come here frequently"
Mr. Nuncio is correct in believing that
the people of this section are interested
in Mexico. Numbers of good business
men have left this portion of the United
States and invested their capital in that
country. Every year commercial and
social bonds are bringing this city and
State into closer relationship TO Mexico
and fits citizens.
1t is confidently expected that Mexico
will have one of the most interesting
exhibits at the proposed Worlds Fair
The wonderful advance which il has
made in the last few decades entities II

MACHINES DISTRUSTED.

In the selection of its candidate for
Mayor in the spring elections the local
Democratic party viii do well TO stand
firmly on q good-government platform
and to nominate a man who will fifty
typify the platform.
This will assuredly be the paramount
issue in the approaching campaign. The
citizen of st. Louis is blind indeed who
does not perceive that the people as a
body, largely regardless of political af-
citations, are determined to elect only
the best local material to Office during
the Worlds Fair period. They are not
worrying half as much about the sue
cess of the Democratic party or of the
Republican party as about the impera-
tive necessity for good government at a
time of so great moment in its bearing
upon the prosperity and development of
the city.
They are reasonably certain to vote
for the best men nominated for the
April elections, without regard to party.
The time is not propitious for the men
who run wild de machine" The people
of ST. Louis have had all the machine
they want. They have seen municipal
government become destitute and de-
cayed under machine rule. They have
seen revenues wasted in salaries for the

INTO THE RIVER.
Saltwater Bridge Gives Way, Throw
ing Two Teams Into Water.

The Saltwater bridge, II ear the
power house, was the scene of bad
miXup Thursday when two teams
were precipitatcd into the water by
the giving way of the supports under
the main span. The two teams, 60
ing opposite directions, met in the
center of the bridge, and, it is sup.
posed, the weight was too much for
the supports and they were unable
to stand the strain.
One of the teams driven by Joe
Johnson employed by the Flathead
Valley Lumber company was thrown
into the deep water and were only
extricated from their dangerous posi-
ton by the hardest kind of work
The team was almost entirely under
water and it was nearly an hour be
fore they could be gotten out. The
wagon was left in the river unit
yesterday. Johnson, the driver, was
struck by one of the falling timbers
and it is thought that his righ
shoulder is broken. He was brought
to the hospital in this city where HI
is at present. The horses We're bad
| ly scratched and bruised, but not Sc
| riously. The other team and drive
We're more fortunate and escaped
with but slight injuries.
The cause of the accident is attri
buted to the big log drive last spring
The supports were weakened by be
ing struck by the logs and It wa
thought at the time that the bridg,
was unsafe. Complaints had beef
male to the commissioners as to tn,
condition of the bridge and at tn,
last meeting held recently instruc
tons had been given to make tn,
necessary repairs.

INSTITUTE LAW.
School People All Over the State Be-
ginning to Take Up the Matter
of Having Law Amended.

Agitation in favor of amending the
law regarding the holding of teach
ers' Institutes is now being carried
on in almost every portion of the
state, and even at this early date
those high in educational authority
believe that enough popular support
can be secured at the next meeting
of the legislature to force the pass
age of law on this subject which
will be acceptable to school trustees
and at the same time will not work
a hardship on the teachers. BY far
the great majority of the school
boards in the counties which have al
ready held institutes have waived
their rights to compel the teachers
to refrain from closing schools to at
tend institutes, and in consequence
the institutes have been successful.
Thus far the only counties where
the county superintendent have
had trouble in holding their insti.
tutes have been Cascade ana Che
teau. In the former county by rea-
son Of compromise effected by State
Superintendent w. W. Welch the in
stitute was a partial success, but in
Choteau but few of the teachers
have been able to attend owing to
the refusal of the trustees to allow
them to close their schools, and as
result the institute has been almost
complet failure notwithstanding
the fact that County Superintendent
Miss May Flanagan used all the
means in her power to make it a
success.
