lures of typhoid bacillus were able to

that flies are important agents in the
transmission of Asiatic cholera
Now, in order to ascertain exactly which
flies are important in the disease-bearing
function more than $500 flies were caught
in kitchens and dining rooms in different
parts of the country from Massachusetts
to California and from New York 10
Louisiana, and were all carefully examined.
The common house fly constituted over 9S

where by reason of neighborfng stables

possibility may still exist.
Every effort should be made by boards of
health In cities and by private persons in
the country to limit the breeding of the
common house fly. and to accomplish this
result a strict supervision OF stables in
which horses are kept should be carried

SCOPE OF SCHOOLS.
Argument Against the Creation of q
Department of Education.

From the New York Tribune
Somebody is always wanting to create
q new cabinet Office. Probably 1t is one
phase Of the popular passion for getting an
act Of the legislature. The government
cannot attempt any benefcent activity
wi,nout subjecting itself to demands from
the be. -iciaries for the establishment Of
full-fedged department to give the subject
dignity. From time to time appeals are
made to Congress to create a department
Of commerce, department of labor, and 1t
would be hard to say how many other de-
partments. The latest proposal is for de-
partment of education with a cabinet min
1ster at the head of "tle educational sys-
tenn of the country"
But there is no educational system Of
tie country" and there cannot be any such
system. That is the fundamental objection
to the creation of a department of educa-
tion, with a seat in the cabinet for its
head, and II would call for the abandon
ment of any such scheme quite aside from
the objection which In general forbids the
multiplication of government departments
to flatter particular interests The govern
ment departments have been established to
do government work of universal concern.
The nations foreign relations, finances,
army and navy and legal business were
first cared for. The navy was then sepa-
rated from the army for public purposes.
The head Of the post office, national con-
cern, next went into the cabinet, and then

EDUCATIONAL institutions for the year
1900. This amount is more than likely
Increased for the present year. on n
school population OF 121, 900 this means
about $15 per capita for education, and
can further an expenditure of about
IS per capita on the total white popula-
ton. or this amount the total OF local
taxation for support OF public school
amounted to 81, 347, 512, and the state,
through the department Of school and
public lands. added $253, 235 to the fund
for public schools.
The state appropriated $l44, 900 70
he maintenance OF the various state
educational institutions, while the de-
partment of school and public lands
added $11, 36S to this sum-. In addition
% this the general government assisted
n the maintenance OF the state agricul-
.ural college to the amount OF $40, 900.
While the total expense Of education
n this state will constantly Increase
With It's rapidly increasing population,
he per capita cost will probably not be
so large In the future, and the local
taxation is bound TO decrease, as the

Increasing its payments every year,
and will In time be bearing the heaviest
share OF the expnse Of the public
schools, instead OF It's being borne by
local taxes.

$4,000 WORTH oP FRUIT.
Clay County, South Dakota, Has Rroduo
That This Year.

Vermillion. S. d., Oct. 6.-For several
years IL has been noted that Clay
county was raising considerable fruit
but the fact has never before been sc
strongly demonstrated as this year.
The following summary Is given out
after a careful inquiry among fruit
growers and shippers: In Strawberries
Il. l.. Collar and f.. r.. Jones were the
principal growers this year, the former
raising about %, 900 quarts, while the
latter marketed about 1900. The aver
age price received by them was about
10 cents per quart, or a total of more
than $4,000. In raspberries and black
berries very few were shipped this
year. Plums were In evidence, and
many growers made money. The two
principal shippers to outside points
give figures to show that they disposed
OF more than $500 bushels, for which
the growers received from $1.00 to $1.25
per bushel, to say nothing of profits to
the shippers. The heavy growers were
Messrs. e. l.. and w. A. Collar, Totten,
Miller, Bower, Daily, Gunderson, But
Ter, Larson, Stevens. Burr, Walker
Smith, and Mrs. Kahl. The apple crop
was a failure, but next year, with
proper conditions, a big crop can be
looked for.

has come into the county this season
