the progress of those men and women
who teach in the city.
But the rural teacher, though she is
today much better situated than were
her predecessors of ten years ago, is
still thrown very much on her own
mental resources during the teaching
term The stimulus that keeps her
sister in the city wide awake ana up
to date, that stimulus which is the re-
suit of the friction of life, is denied 10
her who presides over the destinies Oh
the little red school house. Yet the
rural teachers work is most lmpor-
tant. 1t is worthy of every effort mace
to broaden and dignity it. 1t is far
more important than the work of those
city teachers whose schools are STU
ated in districts peopled by well-to-do
citizens. The children who attend such
schools do not have to depend alto
gether on the school room for their
mental and moral uplift. Their parents
have leisure for experimenting with
home instruction the lessons Of their
teachers.
But rural teaching receives only oc-
casionaI achievements from without
and therefore a rural teachers sec
ton with daily programmes pertain
ing to their work will not only be of
assistance to the country teacher and
the country pupil, but will add greatly
to the value Of the annual meetings of
the State Educational association. The
association has never, since its incep-
ton, entirely neglected the rural teach
er. In fact, it has given much time
and thought, as evidenced by it's for
mer programmes, to understanding and
meeting her special requirements. But
there has always been plenty Of room
for this department to BROADEN and
the announcement that the officers
have made in regard to the campaign
to be commenced Immediately to bring
out the rural teachers is evidence that
much more important work will be ac-
compIished by the association than
ever before.

years of age and is survived by a
widow and five children. The funeral
will be held this afternoon.
Heavy rains during the past four or
five days have caused a rapid rise of
water in Lake St Croix, the lake reg
istering 1876 above low water mark at
the pontoon bridge. The st. Croix
boom corporation had made arrange
ments to suspend work at the boom to-
| day because of high water. but ad-
vices received from NeVer's dam, were
that the river is falling rapidly there
and work at the boom will be contin-
ued. The water is backing up into the
sewers in the lower part of the city and
the city's steam pumps are at work
on the levee keeping the sewers clear.
The Ravenna left yesterday after
noon for Red Wing with a tow of logs
for the Charles Boettcher Lumber
company.
The Northwestern Telephone Ex-
change company is getting it's new sys-
tenn in this city into shape and expects
to occupy the new exchange by the

system has been put in and the local
exchange will be one of the finest in
the state.
The street railway company has a
large force of men raising it's tracks at

THE RURAL TEACHER.

The announcement made by the Of
ficers of the State Educational asso-
citation that they intend, in the pro-
granlnes that are being arranged for
their annual meeting in December, to
pay special attention to the needs Of
the rural teacher will be a welcome
one to those who have the educational
welfare Of the state at heart. City
teachers meet frequently for the pur-
pose of discussing their work. They
have the advice Of a resident superin-
tendent and of principals; in fact,
they work under the constant direction
of the latter. Moreover, the city
through it's clubs, it's concerts and its
dramatic productions offers the urban
teacher numerous opportunities for
self culture which result in broader
views and higher aims. The annual
state meeting of the association is.
therefore. not so important factor in

BURN MUCH POWDER
Blue and Brown Armies Have
Fierce FightatWest Point, Ky.

CAMP YOUNG, WEST POINT. XIV.
Oct. S--More spectacular and hotly
contested. but lacking one or two of the
inner points brought out in previous ma
neuVers, was the engagement partici
pated in today by practically the en-
TIRE number of regular national guards
men in camp.
When recall was sounded after two
hours of hot fighting the result was
practically a dog-fall, the blue army
hinctlng the heavier loss as tailed
with the umpireS, but the browns
largely making up for this by a greater
readiness to seize tactical advantages
of position.
The problem for the day laid down
by Col. Wagner gave the commanders
OF the blue and brown armies latitude
1here was no specification as to the
position or as to which should act on
the defensive as in the maneuvers. A
DIVISION of blues and a division Of
browns were simply set in motion from
points TOUR miles apart, each acting on

Each division contained about $500

Inc blue division, commanded by Col.
Anderson of the Eighth cavalry, was
composed on the brigade (seven bat

" infantry
and the First Wisconsin regiment);
second brigade (F'irst, Second and
Third Indiana Infantry, the Seventh
cavalry (two squadrons) and the
Fourteenth battery of field artillery.

The principal feat of the brown
| army was the effective use of artillery.
| Great mobility was shown and the
| pieces were worked all over the field
| always arriving at a threatened point

For the blue army the best work was
| done by the Indiana brigade, a bat
talon of the Twentieth infantry and a
squadron of the Seventh cavalry The
| blue artillery was of little effect.
The recall was sounded just as Col.
! Anderson, commanding the blues, was
| abandoning the attack on the brown
left and left center and was making a
| neat movement to turn the brown
right, which had been rather weak
ened to meet the first and second at
tacks. Whether this turning move
| ment would have proven successful
was beyond prophecy, as the browns
were working on the short and inner
lines and the Indiana battery had
taken position and opened with two
guns on the new alignment, when the
| affair came to an end.
After the engagement closed the
hospital corps gave a fine exhibition
of quick work in finding, attending and
hustling to camp $50 men to whom
tags had been given and were scattered
over the field to represent wounded"

MILLER INDICTEDBY
FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Former Assistant Attorney General
Is Charged With Conspiracy.

CINCINNATI, Ohio Oct S.-Daniel
V. Miller, late assistant attorney gen.
eral for the postoffice department, and
Attorney Joseph Johns, were indicted
by the United States grand jury today
charged with conspiracy to commit an
offense against the United States.
Daniel " Miller was employed as
second assistant to Attorney General
Tyner, of the postoffice department.
Joseph Johns was at attorney at Rock
Vile, Ind, where he was arrested May
81. Miller was arrested the same day
in his Offices at Washington.
The allegations upon which the ar
rests were based was a charge of con-
spiracy to eXtorting a bride from John
j. Ryan, of j. ]. Ryan & Co., turf
commissioners.
inspector had recommended that a
fraud order be issued against the Ryan
firm, suspending all it's mail. Ryan
and Judge Outcalt went to Washington
to argue their case, Attorney Miller
representing the other side. Ryan
claimed his company had enough mon
ey to pay all depositors in full, and, as
a result of the hearing, Acting Attor-
ney General ChriStiancy recommended
that the postoffice inspectors make an
ether Investigation. They did so, and
a second time fraud order was rec
commended
A few days later, according to tele-
grams produced before the grand jury,
Miller telegraphed John to deal with
Ryan. A meeting was held at the
Gibson house between Johns and Ryan,
in which Ryan paid $4,000, of which
$4,000 was for a favorable decision on
the scheme allowing Ryan's continued
use of the mails, and $4,000 was for
revising Ryan's advertising matter so
as to conform to the ruling of the at
torney general. Ryan paid the amounts
in checks, which are held as evidence
against Johns and Miller.
Later both Miller and Johns appear
ed in court and entered pleas of not
guilty. They reserved the right to
change it after reading the indictment.
The defendants were allowed until
Friday to file demurrers or motions
and their bail was fixed at $4,000 each,
which both were prepared to furnish.
The chief witness before the grand
jury was John ]. Ryan, who, it is said,
produced kilograms received from Mil
Ter directing him to meet Johns in
Cincinnati. The checks also have been
presented as evidence.

BLOODHOUNDS ARE
COMPETENT WITNESSES
Nebraska's Attorney General Claims
Dogs Testimony Should Be Accepted.

LINCOLN, Neb.. Oct. S.-fhe ques-
ton of the competency of bloodhounds
as witnesses in criminal prosecutions
has been brought to the supreme court
of Nebraska. The case is that Of
George w. Bratt, of Nemah county,
convicted of burglary and sentenced to
the penitentiary for three years. In
his appeal Bratt alleges he was con-
victed mainly as a result Of the blood
hounds trailing him from the place
where the burglary was committed to
his own home where a stolen purse
was found
In his brief, filed today in behalf OF
the state, Attorney General Prout ad-
mits part of Bratt's contentious that
the dogs are incompetent to take the
oath and are not subject to crosse x-
aminations, but otherwise, he main
tains, they are fit silent witnesses, and
as such their testimony is as conclu-
sive as that of man in circumstantial
evidence

self to a palpable absurdity. The hum
bug about it is in seeking to remove re-
sponsibility from the shoulders where
it properly rests. We will have an end
of the spoils system, of spoilsmen in
congress and in the departments, and
of the gift of place to improper per-
sons only when the appointing power
sets its face rigidly against the practice
and is ready to take the consequences.
The stream will run clear only when
the fountain shall have been purified.
All attempts to excuse or exculpate
the really guilty are arrant nonsense
and painfully insincere.

Tommy Upton is still game. Three

challenge the world. Should his plan
of an international race with every ma

the United States are now Indifferent.
