The thirty-seventh annual Teachers
Institute of MontOur county adjourned
sine die at noon Friday. The morn
ing session had special feature in
the form of an address by the evangel-
ist Schiverea, who, accompanied by
General Secretary W. D. Laumaster,
dropped into the Institute
The evangelist took as his theme
Success. " Success in the fullest
sense, which carries with it the idea
of true manhood aud true womanhood,
depends upon the strength of the in
dividual, who must be strong physical
ly, mentally and spiritually. The ad-
dress, as seems to be the case with all
the evangeiist's talks, made quite am
impression.
Rev Harry Curtin Harman also ad-
dressed the teachers His remarks,
which were broad and sympathetic in
their nature and quite happy in their
allusiOns to school affairs, were very
much enjoyed.
The final period was occupied by
Hon. W. W. Stetson, with an intense
ly practical talk. He takes the view
that in our schools too much time is
devoted TO subjects whose practical
value is doubtful and other things
that might be dwelt upon with profit
cOrrespOndingly neglected. Especially
:; '.r---..tIL WHICH Is often
dwelt upon in the most exhaustive
manner out of all proportion to its i'm
portance. For his own part at no time
III the affairs Of life has he ever been
called upon to apply his knowledge of
cube root, subject which he cited
as one of the great time consumers.
Speaking Of the common school ge-
ography he regretted that he himself in
his younger days spent much valuable
time on the subject of Popocatapetl.
only to discover later in life that the
MeXicans know no mountain by that
name. He predicted that the time will
come when the common school ge-
ography as at present taught will he
discarded and the time devoted to the
pupils own locality, where there is so
much that is practical to be learned.
Mr.. Stetson urged every teacher to
find time occasionally to give instruc-
tion on conventional forms. This
should not take the form of a lesson
on manners, but should be taught in
cidentally, by little story now and
then, or III some other way, so that
the pupils drink in the knowledge un-
consciously. The speaker deplored the
fact that 50 many young men and wo-
men grow up imperfectly in sormed on
the cOnventionalities of social and pub
lie life and as a consequence are often
put to great embarrassment even if
their future advancement is not posi-
lively retarded.

A Matter of Naglect.

Street Commissioner IL. b. Deem is
indignant at the Indifference with
which the borough ordinance is treat
ed by the residents of town and it
seems to him that its provisions are
observed more in the breach than the
Observance.
While most people have managed TO
shovel off their sidewalks, scarcely any
have removed the snow from cutters,
Notwithstanding that five days have
elapsed since the snow fell. In this
matter alone the street commissioner
thinks some people are paving the way
for trouble Conditions are favorable
for a good deal of flooding by reason
of choked-up cutters when the first
thaw occurs, which will naturally
throw the water on the sidewalk ii
not into the celler But the person
responsible for the removal Of the
snow is likely to pay for his neglect
in another way as Mr.. Deem declares
that if the ordinance is to be obeyed
nothing now remains for him but to
employ men and proceed to clean out
the cutters at the expense of the per-
son occupying the property.
A walk throughout town Will con
vince any one that the street commits

made to shovel out the guttcrs. To

Early winters have not been com
mon during late years. But the pres

were reycling in the delights of wealth

we have a freezing atmosphere. The

morning are decorated with Jack
Frost delicate and inimitable tracery.

of wheeled vehicles, while with each
succeeding night the mercury sinks
nearer to the zero mark.

two each of the following named ::
Contractors, gentlemen, editors, lum-
ber dealers, merchants and oil pro-
ducers. There is one bookseller, one
inspector, one hotel keeper and one in

In the house the lawyers again very
largely predominatc, there being just
forty of them Next Will come the

WILL BUILD MORE TANKS.

1t is planned by the Union Oil Com
pany to erect four more oil storage
tanks. The material for the cOnstruc-
ton of such tanks is expected from the
coast within few months. According
to present plans one of the new tanks
will be constructed at Pearl Harbor.
The site has not been selected as yet.
The idea of having a tank in that Sec
ton is to enable oil to be taken to
the various oil burning plantations dt
smaller cost and trouble than would
be incurred by having to transport the
material from Honolulu. / is intend
ed to have the oil carrying vessels
enter Pearl HarbOr and discharge at
this tank. Three others will probably
be erected in Honolulu. The new tanks
will have a capacity of $4,000 barrels
each Four vessels will be engaged reg
ularly in the business of oil carrying to
these islands. The barkentine Fuller
ton is now en- route to Kahului with a
second load of oil.

TROUBLE FOR HARTMAN.
May Lose Control of The Union Pacific
Railroad.


NEW YORK October "a special to
the Commercial from Omaha says:
Much dissatisfaction exists here in re-
gard to Harriman's management of the
Union Pacific. High Union Pacific Of
ficias here believe George j. Gould may
obtain control of the road at the an
nual meeting of the stockholders on
October 18th in which case General
Manager Dickinson would be retained
and the non union policy regarding
the shop men changed.
IF General Manager Dickinson has
resigned from the Union Pacific the pri-
mary reason is not to accept a better
position, because he is not in accord
with the Hartman policy of forcing
piece work on the shop men of the sys-
tenn" said a prominent Union Pacific
official today.
Assistant General Foreman Bonivier
and Foreman Hollan yesterday re-
signed from the shops, saying they
could not be responsible for the work
done with the present nOn-union men,
and further they do not approve of the
Hartman policy. The general foreman
of the shops in Evanston, WyO., also
resigned for the same reasons.

Secretary Cooper has been going over
the books and contracts of the Depart
ment of Public Works, with a view to
finding out the outstanding obligations
of the department. A long statement
has been prepared, showing the con-
tracts standing and the amounts to be
paid out of the various appropriations.
The result shows a favorable balance
says the acting Superintendent of Pub
lie Works. The amounts to be paid
out as compared with the sum to be
received by the Treasurer, indicate that
the government win get along all right.

said Cooper. AS treasurer he has one

works another, and the two depart
ments are in a position to work to-
