TEACHERS READING CIRCLE
Limited In Attendance but Successful in
Work.

The Teacher Reading Circle met al
South Pittsburg Saturday at . a. IN.
The following teachers were present.
Misses Ida Lee Beene, Ellen Thornton,
Jennie Raulston, Fora Walsh, Fannie
l.. Raulston, Birdie c. Raulston, Mrs.
Lou Beene; Messrs. D. A. Tate, j.. Il.
James, !. M. Cochran, r. R. Hackworth,
E. w. Shuler, j. r. Ellis, Jr.
Though the attendance was not large
all those present were agreed that
the work was thoroughly interesting.
The work mapped out for the coming
year is very instructive. Prof Tate by
organizing the circle is doing a work OF
incalcuable value to the education of
Marion County. After the ordinary
teacher has finished the high school
work and entered the profession he
never advances any farther than Le
d,d in school. lie goes over the same
old work never advancing in the least.
Certainly he can never hope to advance
IN MS profession unless he goes again
10 school, but in that case he looses his
time from teaching. The idea of the
reading circle is to advance the teach
er's education without interrupting his
employment. The plan is exceedingly
simple and practical. 1t will be eager
ly promoted by those teachers who
prize self-advancement Prof. Tate is
starting movement which win make
Marion County leading one in the
matter Of education. Let all the teach
ers forward the movement
The next meeting will be held on the
second Saturday in December at the
same place. X

There were forty or fifty farmers

mounted to more than twice the value

were perfectly true but the mines have
brought more money into this part of
the country in one year than all the
farms in it would have done in twelve
years. An injunction was filed to COM
pei the mines to shut down. However
the injunction was throw out of
court in August and the work goes on.

BIG RAILROAD DEAL
IS CONSUMMATED

New York, April II. - After the
meeting of the board of directors Of
the Northern Pacific railway this af-
ternoon James ]. Hill, president Of
the Great Northern railway, who It
WIS expected would leave the city.
was engaged until late In the after
noon In conference with George +.
Baker, president OF the First Nation
al bunk, who Is representing the
Northern Pacific railway in the nego-
tintions with the Burlington stock
holders for the purchase OF that prop
erty. 1t was expected that an an
nouncement of the closing of the deal
would be made, but nothing was
made public The usual dividend was
declared Mt the meeting.
st. Paul, Mimi, April ia rumor
escaped from an authoritative source
that ]. j. Hill has interposed to pre-
vent the sale OF the Northern Pacific
lines in Manitoba and that he has un-
der the new oder of things other
plans for these lines. Just what
these plans are Is not disclosed but 1t
is quite evident that halt has been
called on the Northern Pacific nego-
tiations with the Manitoban govern
ment and that something Lesides par
liamentary approval Of the deal Is
necessary for Its consummation. 1t Is
said that all the parties concerned are
awaiting the outcome of the Hill
Morgan Burlington deal, orders hav-
ing been issued by those in control Of
the Northern Pacific to let proceed
ings rest for the present.

At about the same hour Mr.. f. l..
Newhouse, manager of the Phlladel-
pha smelters, in Pueblo. received a
telegram from the New York Office Of
the Guggenheim Sons, advising him
that the smelter consolidation was
closed, and to at once transfer the ac-
counts of the Philadelphia plant to the
new management. Mr.. Newhouse will
remain in control until further advised.
The consolidated company evidently
looks to an enlarged output from its
Colorado plants. In several districts
in the state. notably Clear Creek coun-
ty, Kokomo, Leadvllle and other silver
lead camps, special Inducements have
been offered for low-grade ores that
can be used ms tiuNes, and which are
reasonably free from Objectionable fac
tors such as zinc. In other cases car
load shipments have been authorized,
so that smelter and miner may have
something better than the assay basis
to work upon. II the carload expert
ment shows fair profit at low treat
ment charges, then the Inference Ia
fair that another shipper will be added
to the list. This new departure on the
part OF the smelling combine is re-
ceived with marked favor in the min
Ing districts. In only exceptional
cases can concentration be avoided,
the freight over the railroads being
strong barrier against the shipment OF
raw ores. When material Is conceh-
trated ten tons into one, or even five
tons into one. then the freight by rail-
is not SO formidable nm item. Under
the new program 1t is expected that
many low and medium grade mines
which have been idle for years will
become producers. In many Of the DIS
tricts the railroads will help by re-
ducins their charges upon low grade
ores.

AMERICAN COMPANY ABSORBS
THE GUGGENHEIM PLANTS

Denver, Colo, April 1.-THE News
prints the following New York dis
patch:
The harmony between the Standard
OIL interests, the Guggenheims and the
old management of the American
Smelling and Refining Company is
complete. Instead of forming new
corporation which would take over the
Guggenheims' plants and the Ameri-
can Smelling Company. which was the
plan practically decided upon until the
completion of conference Monday
night. the consolidation will be effect
ed through the existing American
Smelling and Refining corporations
and an increase In its capital stock
from SG5,0OOWO to S1OO,0OO,OOO. Ap-
plication has already been made for
this increase and the injunction issued
by the Court of Errors OF New Jersey
has been removed and the suit dis
missed. 1t Is now stated that follow
ing this settlement which carried with
it an extension OF the contract with
the United Metals Selling Company
for the handling of all products of the
American Smelling and refining Com
pany. there will be II general bringing
together OF the copper mining interests
in the United States. This would nat
urally include the mining properties
now controlled by the Standard OIL in
terests with the practical monopoly of
the smelling industry by the new
trust.
The News further says that on Tues
day morning telegram was received
at the Office OF the American Smelling
and Refining Company in Denver from
James Il. Grant. at Boston, stating
that the suit which had delayed con-
solidation was dismissed by plaintiffs
and the deal closed as previously
planned.

Cow Worship In Africa,

Two short marches on February 9th
and 9th brought US to long pool Of
still water. Here we found another
branch OF the Magois, who called
themselves Katua. To my surprise
discovered these people to be COW wor-
shippers and to indulge in certain rites
which were supposed to be peculiar to
the Hindu religion. The origin Of this
COW worship Is presumably the same
with the katua rs with the Hindu,
tracenble to the great dependence
placed upon the animal for sustenance.
The katua eat the COW, but all their
people turn out when the beast Is
killed and go through much ceremony.
They would not sell n single cow.-The
