German vote IS something that every

AS in all towns in Kansas where the
liquor business is the political issue. the
"drys" have beer very active in their
denunciation of Mr.. Seaman as a county
attorney. Less than year ago they pc
titioned Attorney General GODDARD to
send an assistant to Alma and investi-
gate Mr. Seaman with view of ousting
him from Office. One would naturally
suppose that this element would heart

county attorney to rid the county en-

case After the recent disturbance, and
after the joints had been closed and
their contents removed from the state

him to do more than has ever been done

SULTAN IS FOILED
Makes Unsuccessful Attempt to
Break Out of Fez.

Madrid, Dec. 30.-It is reported here
that the sultan of Morocco has been
foiled in an attempt to break out Of
F'ez by the rebels who are investing that
city.
Tangier, Morocco, Dec. 30.-Foreigners
in the interior of Morocco have been
advised to make for the coast. as pro-
visions are scarce and communications
are almost closed. The pretender him
self is reported to be 20 miles from Fe.s.
WATER CUT OFF.
Madrid, Dec. 30.-A dispatch from
Tangier, Morocco, today announced that
the rebels had cut the adueduct which
supplied Fez with water. and added that
the city was now practically without
water. 1t was further asserted that un-
less the Kabyleh tribesmen from the
south come to the succor Of Fee the
place must surrender within three days.
Great Britain and France have noti-
fed Spain that they have no intention
of taking any advantage of the situation
in Morocco. and that they desire the
maintenance of the status quo, even in
the event of the sultan being dethroned
and his place taken by the Dretender.
These communications have reassured
the Spanish government. which Is thus
relieved of fears of international COM
plcations.
The hostility against the sultan is
sprea ding in Fez. The Moros are ex-
hibiting photographs of him arrayed III
ridiculous garb. The sultan yesterday
assembled the mobiles of the besieged
town at the palace and exhorted them
4 not to cSspair, assuring. the chiefs that
the imperial troops ultimately will tri-
unlh.

Whether in city or country schools the
common English branches must be en-

Man in the Pullman Wearing
Mask
Sprang from Dark Corner With
Drawn Revolver.
GRAPPLED WITH HIM.
Conductor Refused to Throw Up
His Hands.
Bandit Wounded Him and
Robbed the Passengers.

Louisville, KY, Dec. 30.-Conductor }.
D. Keene. of the north bound New Or
leans and Cincinnati express on the
Louisville e Nashville road. had a des-
perate encounter with train robber
early today as the train was nearing
South Louisville. The conductor, who
was shot by the robber over the left
temple is confident he killed or naor-
tally wounded the intruder with a bullet
from a Winchester rife.
The train reached this city at $3.50. ana
at o'clock a special train of one coach
and an engine with police and a number
of l. & N employees left for the scene
of the holdup.
Conductor Keene, in his account of the
affair, said that while he was passing
through the Pullman car as the train
was entering the limits of South Louis
vile he was stopped by a man wearing
a mask. The robber had jumped from
a dark corner of the car, and with a
drawn revolver commanded Keene 10
throw uo his hands. Instead OF doing
SO, the conductor grappled with the
man. A pistol ball mcnentarily stunned
Keene and the robber pulled the beh
cord. but before the train stopped the
highwayman proceeded to rob the pas

AS the train slowed down the robber
jumped off. but was followed by Con-
ductor Keene. who had secured Win
chester. The conductor hurried after
the robber, firing as he went, AMI
emptied his rife at the fleeing man. At
one of the shots the robber let out a
yell of pain. The firing aroused the
passengers and caused considerable ex.
element.
Conductor Keene was removed to a
hospital His wounds, however. are not

No trace of the robbers whom Mr.
keene declares he shot, had been found
up to noon although a night watchman
in the Southern railway reported that
about daylight he found a man bleed
ing and lying along the tracks at Third
and K streets. The man said he had
fallen from train and according to the
watchman's statement two men came
along at this time and carried the in
jured man away.
Chief of Police Gunther has detailed
mounted officers and Datrolmen on the
case, but they have been unable to find
any trace of the man. The train crew
say the robber got on the train at Le-
banon Junction. but they nut him Off
at the next station, and did not know
he had caught the last car.

THE RURAL SCHOOLS.
An Iowa Man Tells How They Might
Be Greatly Improved.

The principal feature of the morning
session of the State Teachers associa-
ton today was the address of Henry Sa-
bin, of Des Moines, for eight years state
superintendent of the Iowa schools. His
subject was: The Rural School Curri-
culum, and probably no one is more
competent to speak on that subject than
is Superintendent Sabin. He was chaic-
man of the committee of twelve IA
nous in educational circles. special
committee appointed a few years ago
by the National Educational association
to report the conditions and needs
of the rural schools.
Mr.. Sabin took the ground that the
present day teachers training schools
are training teachers for graded schools
and not for the rural schools. teachers
who can not teach to ADVANTAGE the
things which are most needed to I'M
prove farm life.
THE greatest obstacle in the way cf
improving the country school is the in
difference of the higher institutions OF
learning he said. Colleges. universe
ties, technical schools. and. in many
cases, normal schools. do not recognize
the farm nor the necessity of special ed
ucation for the farmer in order that he
may meet the requirements of oreSent {
conditions. The young man who should
express the desire to take that course
which would best fit him to be a prog
ressive farmer would very likely be ad-
judged partially insane, or at least weak
graduate of an agricultural college,
came into my office the other dav TO
make inquiries concerning a position to
teach sciences. Tt came out. in the
course of conversation, that his father
owned farm of $50 acres. one of the
best farms in the state. When I cug-
gested to him that he remain on she
farm he replied, That is what father
wants me to do. but it seems to me
/ that would be throwing my education
away Rather than to do that he went
/ to work in q class room at S45 month
/ No instructor had ever suggested to thu
student that the owner of $40 acres OF
good land has an unsurpassed oppor-
/ tunity of putting to a practical use a
thorough scientific education.
Before we can induce any change in
the curriculum of the rural school we
must establish the fact that there is =
call for such change, or modification,
along practical lines. The secondary
schools must recognize it before the nor
NAL schools win undertake it, and the
normal school must undertake to mod
ify its courses before the rural school
| will even consider it.
II do not know of a school in the
/ United States which offers distinci
and separate course intended to fl
teachers for their work in rural schools

with them and they did not have
chance to form a plan of defense in the
limited time he allowed them. 1t is ex-
pected by all that they will soon resume
operations and defy the authorities, but
the ban still remains good, and they
have been notified that any attempt to
re-establish saloons will be the signal
for a second raid.
1T is a disheartening situation said
Mr.. Seaman when interviewed on the
subject. by closing the saloons 1 have
made no friends, but numerous enemies.

leader of the prohibition class, Rev. Mr..
Gibson of the Methodist church, is not

did not prosecute the jointists and in
VOlve the county in an endless and very
expensive litigation. I am firmly con-
vinced that I took the only course avail
able in disposing of the situation, but
no one else seems to hold the same
opinion
Mr.. Seaman is a young but successful
attorney, who has shown excellent
Judgment and ability in every thing
legal he has undertaken during his five
years before the bar.
He was elected on the Republican
ticket two years ago and reelected by
a small majority last fall. He has given

tion which it has not enjoyed since in
the past twenty years, and 1t is evident

made their appearance on the field, and

lutte class without the financial backing
of the regular jointists. and easier to
convict of their crimes.

that never before has there been such a

thousand teachers are in Topeka today,
and they came from every part of the

Cherokee to Cheyenne. and from Doni-

doctor, and his father was determined that
his son should not throw away his life on
music, so much So in fact, that he kept
him out of the public schools for fear he
should learn the scale. However, he had a
kind hearted nurse who helped him to get
an old-fashioned worn-out spinet into
the attic, and there the boy taught himself
to play. He composed sonatas for orches-
tral instruments before he was 12 years old
and they are said to be really remarkable.
And the gentle Haydn-who wrote 125
symphonies, ffty-one concertos, seventy
seven string quartets, two great oratorios
The Creation" and THE Seasons" and
dozens of other things besides-we find him
engaged to sing in Vienna at the age OF s
(year 1740). He wore old clothes and worn
out shoes to buy music books, which he
kept under his pillow at night, and he
worked at his music while his little school
mates played. 1t would make the little
