The dozen or so children you will see in
one of these little schools on an average
winters day will range in ages from to
10. and the one teacher is expected to meet
the varied requirements of the old and
young dull and bright big and little, all in
one room.
When the older children get to the high
school age THEY USUALLY DON'T GO.
When they do, it is generally so Tar away
that they cannot get home except Friday
nights With the consolidated school sys-
tenn, several little districts can join forces,
build a fine graded school with everything
from kindergarten to high school if de-
sired.
By using covered wagons the children can
travel six miles more comfortably in bad
weather than they could go on foot half
mile in average weather.
Consolidated schools mean several things
that are important to every community:
Better SCnOOl. houses.
Better teachers.
Better equipment.
Better attendance.
Better scholarship.
Better social life for old and young
1t does away with the expensive and 9th

Children are able to go to high school
and still sleep under the home roof, and be
on hand night and morning to do the home
chores,
Ohio has tried the plan ten years and
could not be persuaded to go back to the
old way. Kansas has tried it several years;
other states are taking it up. The consoll-

Was It Murder?

The death of Alex Washington,
who was found dead in his room
on the morning of Nov. Both is
still a mystery to many of the peo-
pie of Columbia. Although the
coroner's verdict was that Wash
ington could have killed himself,
there are scores of people who be-
lieve the man was foully dealt
with. Washington was shot twice
with a 32-calibre rifle and two
deep gashes on his throat, and
when found was lying in bed COW
cred up. If his was a case of sui
eide it is without parallel. Too
many mysterious murders occur IN
Columbia. Less than two years
ago Smith Boswell was found with
his throat cut in his room. While
the circumstances surrounding this
death were much more favorable
to suicide many persons in Colum-
bia will never believe that Boswell
took his own life. A good "sweat
box" might lessen the mysteries
on such occasions.

DOUGLASS WIDOW DEAD.
Something of a White Woman
Who Married a Negro
Leader.
Property Left to the Douglass Memorial
observation-disclosures of Slavery Rel
ies-Her Work in the Lecture
Field.

From the Washington Post.
Surrounded by books and plct-
utes and busts, and by the memo
ries of her world fame Gus husband,
and in his historic home, Cedar
Hill, in Anncost ia, D. c., Mrs.
Frederick A. Douglass, little less
remarkable a character than her
husband, died at the age of IS
years, after a long and painful i'll
ness. She had not been off the
high hill overlooking the city,
which was the Douglass home, for
nearly year. She had been con-
fined to her bed for three months
with chronic disease. For
weeks it had been known that she
would never leave her bed. 1t
was Mrs. Douglass wish that she
be buried at Cedar Hill, and that
the body of Mr.. Douglass now at
Rochester N. Y, be buried there
also. 1t is not known if this can
be done, but the arrangement will
be made if possible. 1t is thought
that Rev. DR.. Grimke, a lifelong
friend Of the Douglasses and the
minister who married them. will
officiate at the funeral.
The marriage of Mrs. Douglass,
formerly Miss Helen Pitts, white
woman of education and refine
ment, to Frederick Douglass, the
famous negro leader, was an event
that received world wide notice.
Miss Pitts was born at Honeoye,
N. Y. She was educated at Mount
Holyoke, and was a member of the
District Alumni Association of
that college. She was said to be a
woman of fine mental training and
of facinating manner. She was
married to the negro leader in
January, 1884, being his second
wife. She was about As years of
age at the time of her marriage.
Mrs. Douglass took part actively
in her husbands life. She went
with him on a European tour and
the stories of the time said that
they were received with much hos
pitality in the European cities.
Later she went with him when he
was made minister to Haiti.
When he was sent as commission
er to the Worlds Fair at Chicago
by the Haitien government she ac.
companied him.
After Mr.. Douglass death in
1894, at Cedar Hill, Mrs. Douglass
continued to live there. She did
some literary work, writing a num-
ber of lectures, which she deliver
ed in New England and New York.
Her chief work, however, was
that of planning "The Frederick
Douglass Memorial and Historical
Association" and of securing the
passage of the law incorporating
the association.
Soon after the death of her hus-
band she decided that their home,
Cedar Hill, should be given at her
own death to such an association
and that it should contain a mu.
scum of Douglass and anti slavery
memorials. The law was passed
two years ago and the association
is now reality. 1t is supposed
that Mrs. Douglass will leave the
large property and all that the fine
old house contains of books and
manuscripts and pictures and
sculpture to the association.

THE kauai COUNT

A correspondent on Kauai calls at
tention to what he considers mislead-
ing headline in the Hawaiian Star of
November 16, over an article stating
that recount of the votes of that ISL
and might be called for The head
lines of the article were: Home Rule
Fraud on Kauai; Strong indications
that Willard was counted out of Dis
trict Attorneyshfp." The point made
by the correspondent is that there is
no claim that Willard was fraudulently
counted out, but that recount would
show that ballots were counted which
under the law should have been thrown
out, and that those would have made
change enough in the result to have
elected Willard.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
Extreme Penalty as Afflicted i'm
Various States.


Utah is the only state in the union
where criminals condemned TO death
are allowed to choose between hang
ing and shooting as the means of
their execution.
In all other states where the death
penalty is inflicted, the statute al
lows neither the prisoner nor the
court any discretion as to how it
shall be administered.
Two states, Wisconsin and Mich
gan, have abolished capital punish
ment. Kansas has provision that
the condemned man remains in prison
until the governor signs the death
warrant. AS no Kansas governor
has ever signed such document, the
effect is that of life sentence for
murderers.
Electrocution is the legal mode OF
of death for criminals in New York
and Ohio. In all other states, except
those mentioned, the extreme pen
atty of the law is carried out by
hanging.

PRIVATE IRRIGATION.

The government is not the only
party in the canal business in this
state at the present time. A number
of large irrigating bitches are being
built by private parties. In Carson
valley Will Dressler, one of the
weaIthiest ranchers there, is digging
a canal designed to irrigate about
1900 acres in the heart of the valley.
The water will be taken out of the
Carson river near the Peter Wilslef
ranch and run directly to the now
unproductive sage brush land. Geo.
Whitney has charge of the conStruc-
ton work and expects to have the
canal finished this fall. The canal
measures eight feet wide with a
depth of nearly seven feet. The
lire has been carefully surveyed, and
it will furnish enough water to irri-
gate the entire stretch of land, which
at the present time grows only sage
brush. Reno Gazette.
