will not always permit the use of any one
of these methods, admirable though they
may be. Moreover Uncle Sans mail sery-

boys are notoriously slow. Realizing all
this, it remained for Charlie Freeman, Of

all other devices failed. - 49,

Charles M. Jordon, .
Superintendent of Schools.
The board considered at the. meeting
the new section in the school rules which
proposes to raise the requirements for
teachers in the schools. The present
crowded condition Of the schools is caus-
ing much annoyance. There seems to be
little relief in sight with the exception
of an increase In space which will soon
help the Central high school. The rooms
now occupied by Superintendent Jordan
and his staff will be vacated, probably
sometime in March, and they will be; given
up for school uses. The superintendent
Office will be at the city hall. Work is
being pushed on the new school board
quarters as rapidly as possible. The
rooms are directly above those of the fire
department on Fourth street and Third

Gasolene explosions are the cause Of "a
large percentage Of the fires In dwelling
houses The commonest source Of trouble
is in attempts to fill stoves while they are
lighted or when there Is fire Of aonther
sort near Careless servants are chiefly
to blame for such accidents. Another
equally fruitful source of trouble Is found
in the clothes cleaning habit The good
wife trying.to clean her husbands Sum
day clothes strikes spark with wooden
cloth, the gasolene ignites and then ut
is all off, till the fire department arrives.
Last week woman was cleaning one OF
her dresses. A spark ignited the gaso-
lene and the woman was badly burned.
Explosions sometimes occur when there
is no other cause apparent than a
change of temperature. The sun shining
through the glass of photographers

that large blaze was kindied in the
draperies, with the result that in few
minutes the Whole house was in flames.
