This year Rhetoricals are receiving
their proper share of attention in all
the grades. They are a most impor-
the student to express correctly and
gracefully what he has learned. 1t is
part of school work that has been
too much neg G ted in the past, and
Kinsley is to be congratulated on
having a principal who gives Rhetor-
icals their due Importance. The pro-
gram at the South Side was too long
to give in detail, and it seems unfair
to select q part, but Arthur Smart's
oration was SO fine in thought and
delivered so forcibly and clearly that
it deserves special mention. The
subjecs was Electricity and its
wonderful possibilities as applied to
the world $ life and work.
A school paper was read. Misses

Chicago, Aug 0.--Lewis Q. Toombs

der of Carrie Larson.
The murder occurred on the night
of December 30, last. Toombs was
cook of the steamer Peerless and had
hired the young woman to assist him
on the boat, which was lying icebound
in its winter quarters in the Burling-
ton slip of the Chicago river. The
only other occupant OF the boat was
Robert Keissig. roustabout. 1t was
the story of Keissig that convicted
Toombs of one of the most horrible
crimes ever discovered in this city.
Late at night Toombs had come to
the steamer and tried TO force his
way into the young woman's room.
Failing Of this, he ordered her to
cook him a meal. AS she started to
comply, Toombs strangled her, mutt
lated her body horribly and then
compelled Keissig, who was an un-
willing witness, to help him bury the
body under the ice of the river. Sew
eral days after the boy ran away to
the police, fearing for his own life,
and told the story which resulted in
the recovery Of the body of the wo-
man and Toombs' conviction. Two
trials were held. In the first two
brothers on the jury held out for alb
solute acquittal. The verdict in the
second trial was rendered after a de-
liberation of only 20 minutes.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 0.-W. J. Bryan
accuses President Roosevelt Of going
beyond the limit in his advocacy Of
a strenuous life, and calls him to
task for his utterances In the speech
at West Point. In the Commoner Mr..
Bryan says: President Roosevelt, in
his recent extemporaneous speech at
West Point, gave expression to a
sentiment which suggests an inner
ent barbarism that will have to be
taken into account in weighing his
purposes and predicting his future
course. His address delivered on the
strenuous life delivered some three
years ago showed that he gave to
virtue the ancient rather than the
modern definition, and placed physi-
cal courage above mental greatness
and moral worth. But IN his
West Point speech he laid aside
all restraint. and in At of
animated enthusiasm said: A good
soldier must not only be willing to
fight; he must be anxious to fight.
do not want to have anything TO do
with him IL he is not When he said
this he turned a light upon his inner
self and revealed moral deformity
which must shock such Of his friends
as are not wholly carried away with
the blood and brutal gospel OF impe-
rialism. If a good soldier must be
anxious 20 fight, then it naturally fol-
lows that an administration which
desires TO develop good soldiers
should surround cadets with infu-
ences calculated TO infuse into them
fighting spirit, an eagerness for
blood-letting. II the president really
means what he says. we may expect
that his second administration, IL he
has one. win be made forever illus
trious by the Inauguration Of new
regime at the military academy and
in the army. The ten commandments
and the sermon on the mount will be
discarded and the yellow-back novel
substituted for them for Thou shalt
not KILL. and Blessed are the peace
makers could have no proper place
in a school designed TO train men TO
be anxious to fight"
This Removes Him from the Race.
Muscatine, Ia. Aug. 9.--W. ]. Bryan.
in an interview here Friday, said posi-
lively that he would not be a candi-
date for president in 1904. He said
he was satisfied TO live as a private
citizen.

Durango, Col, Aug. e.--The Navajo
Indians have never been in such mis-
cry as now since 1893, when Kit Car
son had them rounded up in corral
at Defiance. The extreme heat and
drought in the Navajo country have

sheep and goats are starving by
scores daily. The Indians have had
little else than horsemeat to eat for
some time and unless the govern

their blanket industry alone, and
this has never done much for their
