battle occurred Monday night between
deputies and strikers at Throop an
isolated mining village, six miles
north of here. Scores OF shots were
exchanged but as far as is known no
one was hit. The one colliery in the
village is operated by the Pencoast
Coal company. Last Tuesday the
washery was started under the pro
lection OF armed deputies. There has
been some stone throwing at the dep
uttes and clubbing Of workmen. On
several occasions the deputies dis
charged their guns TO brighten away
the boys who peited the washery with
s.ingshots. The four deputies guard
ing the companies pumping station
located on the river bank were driven
to cover by volIey of shots from the
other shore, They returned the fire
and silenced the attack. When dark.

Minnesota Schools
Interesting Figures From State Supertn-
tendent's Last Report. B

State Superintendent Of Schools j.
W. Olsen has completed his report for
the year 1901, in which il included some
statiatics which will be interesting to our
readers. From the statistics we learn
that the total receipts for the year Wers
s7,216,13s.28, and the expenditures 81.
2O9'582,49 There are I, 565 school
buildings in the state and the total value
Of all school property is SIC, 413,538.28.
OF the 11,129 teachers employed there
were 2, 116 males aud 9,O31 females, the
former receiving an average OF $43.6O
and the latter $3.50 per month. The
total number Of pupils in Minnesota
high schools was 1t, 1918. !. i. 3 5. B
The most noticeable thing about these
figures is the great jump taken in teachers
salaries. In 1896 the average salary was
$32 per month; in 1898 it was 1920
in 1899 the average was $34.25; and il
1900 it was $50. The. jump to S4s is
the greatest single years increase fol
many years. This has been largely the
result of the workings Of the new uni.
form state certificate law which create6
scarcity of first grade teachers anc
forced out of the teaching profession
many of those untitled to teach. The
reault has been a steady demand fol
good teachers, and at the present time
there Is lack of first grade teachers il
almost every county in the state.

Third North street of his father and in

spond with the one on tho adjoining lot,
The new building is to be three stories
high with granite pier front. The
basement will be fitted up for an under
taking room and it is his present pur-
pose to have part of it set off for chap
Ell in which funeral services may be con-
Quoted. An elevator operated by wa
ter motor will run from the basement to
the third story and the building through.
out will be modern IN every detail. He
expects to begin work on the building
some time in June. The new quarters
will give Mr. Buenger an excellent OPP
portunity to display his immense stock
of furniture. -.>,>".
The removal of this building will de-
stroy one of the historic places of the
city. This was one of the fortified plac-
es during the Indian massacre and pic.

was close enough to the barricade to be
