ST. PAUL.

Prof G. l.. Bowman, a member
of the faculty of the West Superior
Normal, we are glad to know, has
tempting offers to enter broader
fields, with more responsibility and
remuneration.
The state superintendent, J. M.
Olson, and his assistant are working
toward and speaking for that great
reform, consolidation of the rural
schools into larger districts, which
will reduce expense, secure better
teachers, buildings and apparatus,
and give a far better education to
the children.
1t is worthy of note that new
organization to embrace the veterans
of Philippine campaigns has been
formed, and the St. Paul Post has
been named in honor of one of
the martyrs of the Thirteenth Min
nesota, which was to some extent
recruited in Wisconsin. 1t is called
the Merwin H. Carleton Post. We
believe that Mr.. Carleton was res
ident of River Falls in his boyhood.
The dust storms in St. Paul are
quite frightful, and there is an cpl
demic of throat diseases, caused, it is
said, by the inhalation of so much
dust with disease germs, which at
tack the vocal chords and adjacent
organs.
The possibilities of weather are
finely illustrated by having block
ade by snow in North Dakota, COW
ering a large amount of territory
and stopping the Northern Pacific
trains, while St. Paul was suffering
from hot wave, drought, and dust
storms.
The celebration of the founding OF
the order of Cdd Fellows, which
will be held in the Auditorium Sun
day afternoon, will be well worth
attending. Hon. Hiram F. Stevens,
by birth a ermonter, and one of
the strongest men in intellect in the
state, will deliver the Grafton, and
there will be other interesting exer-
cises. Why not have special train
from River Falls?
