Experimental Instruction.
"Cities having undertaken to supple
ment the work of the States in the
matter Of free education have assumed
grave responsibility, and the char
acter of the citizenship OF the future,
as well as the quality of government,
depends upon the correct solution of
the problem involved" says Bird S.
Coler, in Everybodys Magazine. with
millions to spend for free schools,
there opened a wide field for expert
ments. The education of the masses
is such a popular thing that any per-
son who proposes to contribute n plan
or a suggestion to the scheme is GER
tain of a hearing, and too often Of
opportunity for mischief. A wave of
faddism has swept over the country
in recent years, and in many cities it
has almost engulfed the common
schools, that were originally the means
Of the free education for which prop
erty was taxed. The proper govern
ment of any municipality requires a
prompt return to a system of thorough
instruction in the public schools in
those studies that are the true base
of all higher education. Municipal in
come does not justify the maintenance
of any general system of so-called
higher education or the teaching of
fads and experiments. If there are
high schools, they must be maintained
to provide rewards of merit and indus
try in the common schools, and they
ought to include a special course of
study preparatory for service in the
city government. But the real func-
tion and duty of good municipal gov
ernment is to provide a thorough
course Of practical study and teaching
that will enable the children Of the
poor to acquire the true foundation Of
higher education before they are com.
PEELED to go to work The boys and
girls who are forced to work at fifteen
may, with a little assistance, educate
themselves as they toll If they have
been thoroughly taught the rudlments
OF a practical English education. For
supplemental knowledge the city can
provide the means with night schools,
free lectures, libraries, ana reading.

If Germany should succeed in escap-
ing a widespread financial and indus
trial panic there is enough of trade de-
preston now to hurt her business well
into the future. Hard times have been
foreshadOwed during several months,
and they have come about quite in the
natural course. AS the world panic Of
a decade ago was felt earlier in Eu.
rope than it was in the United States,
so the recovery was earlier, and pc.
riod Of exceptional Industrial activity
speedily followed. Germany enjoyed
her full share of the good fortune,
went forward at a booming rate and
finally overdid the thing. There was
overproductlon, oyerspeculation, and
now comes the collapse.

Luxury is a relative term. What
IS a necessity to one is a luxury to an
other and vice versa. A spoon or a
fork is a luxury to an African, but a
necessity TO an American. A book that

The selling Of abandoned farms in
New Hampshire has prospered, and a
large number have been taken up by
former residents and natives Of the
State for summer homes or to retire
upon for rest and comfort in later life.
Inquiries made in 1876 towns in the
State show that $40 farms, or parts Of
farms, have been taken up in this way,
and they bring into the State, when
occupied about 1900 people. 1t is
reckoned that the permanent improve.
ments made on these once abandoned
properties amount to over S2,000,00O,
and the business is spreading all the

No Limit to High TEN p perature.

Until within the last few years the
highest temperatures attainable were
reached by the aid Of the so-called
compound blowplpe, which is an in
strument for burning hydrogen, or
some other combustible gas, unde-
pressure. BY the aid of this instrument
platinum was melted, ana, in one case,
silver was boiled. But now the intro.
duction Of powerful electric currents
has made higher temperature possible,
and marvellous results have been
reached. NJ. MG,ssan. Of Paris, has for
some time been engaged in studying
the chemical effects of high temDera-
lures. He has made use Of a simple
contrivance, which he calls an electrl-
cal furnace. In this he has subjected
many things to temperatures as high
as from 5000 to 1000 degrees Fahren-
heit.-McClure's Magazine.

Or. Frederick A. Cook, the Anarctic
explorer, reports that he has collected
a vocabulary of 10000 words of the
Yaghan language spoken by the saw
ages of Terra del Fuego. AS the most
highly civilized races have few men

it is pretty certain that no savage

Union Pacific Transfer Company Suffers
100000 Loss.

Council Bluffs. Aug. 21.-Fire at
the Union Pacific transfer yards in
the southwestern part of this city
last evening caused loss estimated
at $4,000. Sparks from passing
engine set fire to the roofs of the
sheds and when discovered by the
clerks in the office of the company
covered scarcely square yard.
Everything was as dry as finder
and before the companys depart
ment had gotten out the blaze was
beyond control and the city com
panies We're called out. When they
arrived the fire was spreading east
and west along the long sheds of the
company and it was found impossi-
BILE to do more than to keep the fire
from spreading to other buildings in
the neighborhood. One thousand
two hundred feet of sheds and $1,000
worth of freight being transferred
was burned. .
The tracks of the company were
lined with hundreds of cars and it
was impossible to get many of them
out before they too were burning.
Thirty or forty of them were burned
to the trucks, as was also the mer-
chandise with which they We're load
ed. Half hundred more were bad
" burned and scorched. At pres
ent it is impossible to give any reas-
enable estimate of the loss, but it is
estimated all the way from $4,000
to 100000.

Nerroes Benz. Lynched or Driven Out
for Alleged Crimes.
Pierce City, Mo-, Aug. 21.--For
near,y fifteen hours ending about
noon Yesterday, this town OF 3.ooo
people was in the hands OF moo
of armed whites, determined 70
drive every negro from its preclncIs.
In addition to the lynching last night
of VIII Cooley, accused OF the wan
ton murder Sunday afternoon OF
Miss Gazelle Wild, and the shooting
10 death OF his grandfather, french
Cooley. The mob today cremated Pete
Hampton. an aged negro, in his home.
set the torch to the houses of five
blacks. and. with the aid of state
militia rifles, stolen from the COM
panyss arsenal. drove dozens of ne
groes from town.
After noon the excitement died
down, the mob gradually dispensing,
more from lack of negroes upon
whom TO wreak their hatred than
for any other cause. many OF the
negroes who fed from the city are
hiding in the surrounding woods,
while others have gone greater dis
tances in seeking safety.
Every negro has left the town eS-
cept few railroad porters known
to be respectable. but who must also
leave. The citizens of Pierce City
say that as negroes have committed
such crimes in the last ten years,
none shall live here in the future.
The same feeling already existing at
Monet, four miles east of Pierce
City, it may be necessary for the
road to change all porters in Spring
field hereafter.
It is now believed that the man
(Will Cooley lynched was not the
real culprit. \ negro named Starks
under arrest at Tulsa, /. r.. across
the border here, tallies exactly with
the description of the murderer. He
is held there awaiting Identification.
Unless the man is brought back here,
it is believed there will be further
trouble. If brought here, he will
surely be lynched. Another suspect,
Joe Lark, is under arrest at Spring
field Mo.
