Superintendent Nelson explains
that the words conditional, which
appears after several of the firm
names, implies that certain changes
or additions should be made before the
books specified could be used in the
schools. For instance the change re-
quired in the physics is that the topic
of X-ray should be discussed and
added to the book. Different require
ments were made for the other books
selected.

Home Culture.

Emerson says: s.That which adds to
the culture and refinement of the
home is not a luxury but necessity.
Just as We feed the body with food
and clothe it with raiment, SO also
should We cultivate and refine the
mind.
The plan for doing so as explained
by W. K. Gardner, Of Topeka Kansas,
will be of interest to all and especially
to parents. Don't fail to investigate
it as it will surely please you.

REASON FOR ARSON.
Chicago Man Burned Another's Store
to Prevent Latter's Divorce.

Chicago, Aug. 24.-Of all reasons for
committing Arson, George Gastonlee
has the oldest.
He tried 10 burn the store of John
Sandberg to prevent Sandberg from Sc
curing divorce.
The book and stationery store is at
19S Halsted street. Gastonlee lived at
2O9 HaIsted street. but he spent much
of his time at the book store after he
had finished his labors for the j. j.
Wade e Sons Company, plumbers, at
50 Dearborn street.
When Gastonlee heard about the
strained marital relations existing in
the Sandberg household, and the in
tention of the husband to procure a
divorce, he began thinking. He had a
sister who was mistreated by her hus-
band, and. reasoning from this case,
he surmised that Mrs. Sandberg was n
much-abused woman.
What to do to prevent the divorce
suit?
Il figured that if I could fix matters
so that Sandberg wouldn't have enough
money to bring his divorce suit l could
stop the case" said Gastonlee to the
police. $50 went over to Wade's and
got five-gallon can of gasoline. took
it over to the book store at 3 o'clock
in the morning, climbed in through IL
window, opened a side door, and lugged
the gasoline in.
Il sprinkled the gasoline about the
floor, put jar full of the stuff under
bookcase, lighted a match and threw
it on the floor; then I ram
Unfortunately for the defender of
the sacred marital relation, an ex-
plosion followed just as Gastonlee was
running out, and further, Policeman
Maher of the Chicago avenue station
happened to be standing near by.
Maher turned in an alarm and then
chased Gastonlee, catching him at West
Van Buren street.
BY the time Maher had forced his
prisoner back to the burning store the
first engines had dashed up and the
firemen were routing the sleepy occu-
pants out of the floors above the book
shop. Then they put out the blaze be-
fore it had cost the insurance COM
panies more than $400.

NEW HEALTH RESORTS.
Trips to South Africa Now Become
One of the Fads.

London, Aug. 24-One result of the
war is the addition of South Africa to
the approved list of fashionable health
resorts. Everybody is talking about
the wonderful effects of the Transvaal
climate, and quite a number of society
people. including Lady Sarah Wilson
and Lady Howe, think of making the
trip as new distraction from the we'll
worn round of social duties.
1t has long been recognized by the
medical profession that the warm, dry
atmosphere of the karoo provided the
best available environment for GER
tain class OF consumptive cases.
But the experience of the men who
the Transvaal, and especially the high
ground in the neighborhood OF Jo
hannesburg, enjoys one of the health
lest climates in the world.
Mr.. Sidney Peel is quite enthusiastic
in his praise of it. He could always
get up at in the morning alert and
vigorous and ready for anything. In
deed, he declares that he grew in height
and put on a few inches round the
chest during a short campaign, though
long past the natural age for growing.
AS for johannesburg. he found it
perfectly glorious" at the worst
season of the year. And l am not sur
prised. Every English person l know
who has once lived in Johannesburg
is in a desperate hurry to get back
again. If you ask the reason the
answer is always Climate"

Neither of Them Reached Intended
Victim, Prince Obolenski.

Odessa, Aug. 24.-The particulars of the
attempt to assassinate Prince Obolenski
ON Sunday. Aug. 10 have just come to
light, in spite of the efforts of the au-
thorities to keep the affair quiet as
possible. The prince was only recently
appointed governor of Poltava and Khar-
koff difficult post, requiring great ad-
ministrative ability and carrying with it
extensive power 1t was for this reason
that the attack was made upon him. un-
doubtedly, and for the same reason the
police here have been anxious to unearth
as mucn as possible of the plot, if there
was one.
Prince Obolenski was standing with
friends near his box in front of the sum
mer theatre in the Tivoli gardens at
kharkoff, when a man advanced, and,
with the greatest deliberation, fired Il re-
volver at the prince over the shoulder Of
the wife of the chief of the Kharkoff Ag
ricultural Board, with whom Prince Obo-
lenski was talking.
The woman coolly seized the arm of the
would-be assassin before he could fire
twice. and n second bullet went harmless
ly in the air
The man was seized by bystanders and
held on the ground until the chief of po-
lice, who w asnearby, grappled with him.
A violent struggle ensued, and the man
succeeded in firing twice more, wounding
the chief of police in the leg. The man
was finally secured and locked UP. The
chiefs wound is dangerous.

Daily Kennebec journal., 1902-08-25

The main battery of the Maine is COM

The main battery OF the Kcarsarge is
composed of 13-inch, S-inch and II j.
inch guns
The main battery of the Massachusetts

The main battery of the Oregon is COM
posed of l3-inch S-inch and G-inch
guns.
BY the above data it may be noted that
the Maine outdoes the three other sister
ships in everything save cost, her ton
mage exceeding that Of the famous Ore
gon by some over a thousand, and the
older Massa chusetts by two thousand. In
speed she eclpses them all; likewise in
horse power. The Kearsarge has two
more guns than the Maine in her main
batteries. this being the only respect in
which the former leads her new rival.
All things considered. the rigid compar-
ison goes to show that the new Maine is
one of two or three of the most feet, at
the same time perfectly equipped wat
