$4,000 In JeweIry Stolen.

New York, Dec. 30.-Mr. and Mrs.
Paul G. Thebaud of Madison avenue
were robbed today of jewelry worth
$4,000. The robbery is said by the
police and also by Mr.. Thebaud to
have been the work of a newly en-
gagged valet who had been employed
by Mr.. Thebaud but two weeks. The
valet is missing, and the butler who
recommended him is under constant
police surveillance. The valet was last
seen about 8 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, when he took one Of Howard Will
let's rigs and drove to the railroad
station in White Plains. Three hours
later the rig was found at the station
abandoned.

RURAL EDUCATION EXPENSIVE.
supt. Fall Gives important Statistics
and Advoc ates Remedies.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Dec. 30.-The
Michigan Teachers association COM
pleted its forty-ninth annual meeting
Saturday and adjourned after one of
the best sessions of the series. What
proved to be one of the most interest
ing features of the entire convention
came at the close when the symposi-
UNI on present educational problems
was introduced by the president More
interesting than any other of the pa
pers presented on account of the sub.
Ject. perhaps, was that on Admins

Fall.
great impeachment to progress un-
der our present system is the fact
that the reports from school directors
show to very great extent small
schools prevail. Last year SO schools
In the state had an average attend
ance or three or less; over 400, an av-
erage OF seven or less; and nearly l.
OOO, an average of attendance of less
than ten. In 1904 schools containing
an enrolment of Is pupils the aver
age cost per pupil per month is $4.l6.
while the average cost per pupil per
month in city schools varies, but in no
case have we found it more than $I.94.
The foregoing figures show that
the people in the small rural districts
are paying very much more per capita
than the people in the cities, and at
the same time have but little more
than one-half as much school. In my
opinion the remedy lies in the consol-
idation OF districts, and the establish
ment OF central high schools. Three
methods have been suggested by
which the central high school may be
realized. The first, which is known as
the Illinois plan, by which the smaller
and weaker districts are consolidated
so that the number in each township
shall be reduced to about four A fifth
district is made in the center of the
township, and a high school building
erected large enough to accommodate
the children OF all grades who live in
that district, and all the high school
pupils from the entire township.
"A second, known as the Ohio plan,
consists of the abandonment of all the
district schools in the township and
the massing of all the pupils into one
central school. 1t has been found
that this work can be done at an ex-
pense not exceeding the original cost
OF maintaining the separate district
schools.

TWO FATAL TRAIN WRECKS.
Cause Death Of Six Persons and the
Injury of Many Others.


Chicago, Dec. 30.-Four persons
were killed and Is injured, several Of
them possibly fatally, in a collision on
the Chicago & Northwestern railroad
Sunday, at Malta, ILL.,, 60 miles west
Of Chicago. The trains in collision
were 1.-The Omaha flyer" an eastbound
passenger train, and an eastbound
freight train. The wreck caught fire
and two passenger coaches, one sleep
ing car and eight freight cars were
burned and another sleeping car was
partly consumed.
Injured passengers were attended
Immediately by surgeons from Ro-
chelle and De Kalb, and later were
removed to st. Luke's hospital in Chi
cage by special train.
The freight train had taken a siding
at Malta, but the train was longer
than the siding and the freight loco
motive protruding upon the main
track beyond the side track. The in
coming train from the west was not
stopped until the two locomotives
"cornered" at the switch, the passen-
ger engine being thrown into the ditch
and several coaches piling upon the
wreck. The cars caught fire from the
locomotive.
statement given out by officials
of the railroad company explains that
the switch at the east end of the sid
ing was opened through mistake and
that the responsibility probably lies
with some member of the crew Of the
freight train. The statement placed
the company's property loss at about
$4,000.
FL Paso, Tex, Dec. 31.-Two men
were killed and three seriously in
jured as the result Of a gravel train
wreck on the FL Paso & Northeastern
road one mile east of here.

In Lakefeld township, near Merrill,
has been missing from his home for
three months, and John Hannaman.
the old mans son, with John Johnson,
junk peddler who has associated
with him, is at the county jail here,
the former for kidnapping his father
and the latter as an accomplish.
On Sept. 2 the father and son came
TO Saginaw, it is said, and secured a
loan OF 500 on the old mans farm
On Sept. the old man cashed the
$500 check at Merrill. He was not
seen after the 18th. The son said his
father had gone to Detr oft.
AS time passed and the old farmer
did not put in an appearance, there
was some vigorous talk in the neigh.
borhood. 1t is said that the son, who
is 3S years Of age, was flush with
money. The matter was finally
brought to the attention of the county
authorities. When questioned, John
Hannaman said that, one Sunday
night about the last of September, he
anu Ills iathSl ltll IuelT HUIEe at
o'clock and drove to Saginaw. He
claimed he put his father on a Michi.
gan Central train between and G
O'Clock, but said that before doing so
he took the old man to barber shop
and got him shaved. When questioned
as to where he found barber shop
open at that hour, the man became
confused.
He said his father was to visit a
family named Steinke, living on Chene
street in Detroit. Deputy Sheriff Bur-
CESS went to Detroit, but found no
such family. When told that his faith.
err had not been in Detroit, the son
changed the story and said his father
went to Germany. A thorough investi-
CATION Of the case, the officers say,
has brought out facts which they can
not make public, but which warrant
the holding of Johnson.
1t is said that Hannaman's wife
showed more anxiety to get Johnson
out Of the difficulty than she did to
save her husband.
