Olson In Bad Shape.

Jourgen Olson, who was shot
at Bowbelis by Erick Mattheson
had his leg amputated at the
hospital about six inches below
the hip. 1t was thought that he
could not live but he rallied we'll
after the operation. Gangrene
had set in, making the operation
necessary. The leg is not heal
ing well, and Monday it was ne
cessary to open the wound. The
LEG: is sloughing off and in case
he lives it will have to be ampu-
tated at the hip Joint.
Mattheson, his father and l..
O. Storley were brought to Minot
by Deputy Sheriff Glenn, but
they were not placed in jail.
They are stopping at the Daco-
tab Hotel. They are spoken OF
we'll by Bowbells people. They
say that Olson had shot several
times through Mattheson's house
and made threats, because his
claim was contested; this led up
to the shooting.

to contain nothing but waste paper.
Suspicion could not be directed to any

that the glue used at each postofiice
had an odor dlstinguishable from that

when in an office near the destination

Ltehthou.. without a Light.

The most extraordinary Of all British
lighthouses Is to be found on Arnish
rock, Stornoway bay-a rock which Is
separated from the island Of Lewis by
a channel over 500 feet wide. On this
rock q conical beacon Is erected. and
on its summit a lantern is fixed, from
which, night after night, shines a light
which is seen by the fishermen far and
wide. The way in which this light
house is illuminated is this: On the
island of Lewis Is lighthouse, and
from window in the tower stream
Of light is projected on to a mirror
In the lantern on the summit Of Arnish

ART AND NATURE.
The Changes wrought by Force Of
Metho0ical Development.

Methodical Development.
There are really very few things In
use in the world today which have not
been materially changed by the forces
Of methodical development. Civilized
men and women themselves are the
best examples of this all pervading In
fuence. The beasts of burden and the
creatures which supply the world with
animal food are remotely different
from what they were in the beginning.
The work of breeding and training has
added beauty and usefulness to the
birds of the air and the beasts Of the
field. and the same upward tendency IL
noted in these latter days In the flow
ers which gladden. life with their love
iiness and which admonish man per-
petually Of his frailty. Pleasant 1t Is
10 know that what may be called the
sophistication Of flowers has robbed
them of not whit of their native
charm. There Is In the sensuous odor
of the American Beauty the magic to
revive In any mind attuned to the heart
of nature sweet memories Of tangled
vines and wild roses, creeping and
blooming along country roads. The
scent of the rich and full carnation will
call up In moment tender reeollec-
tons of borders Of spicy little pinks
tended by loving hands that have been
folded for years In dreamless repose.
In the regal chrysanthemum Is seen
the amazing product Of brave little as
ters which came to embellish the door

after all Of the summer blooms had

THE SINGER THAT WAS.

There is no form of genius so perish
able as that which finds expression
through the medium of vocal or his
trionic art. No matter how great the
name, time is able tn erase it from the
scroll of fame; but the sculptor has
the satisfaction of knowing that for
few centuries, at least, his marble will
keep alive his name. The artist finds
contentment in the thought that so long
as his canvases are preserved, his
memory will not die. The writer feels
that what his soul has expressed will
live so long as men think it worth
while to keep that expression between
the covers Of book. But the singer
and the actor have aot this cempensa-
tion. They are forced to witness their
own death. 1t is not in human nature
to submit to this fate without a strug-
gle, and that struggle reveals itself in
farewell tours.
New York has listened this week to
the quavering notes of an old woman
whose only claim on its tolerance is
that many years ago she delighted by
her marvellous gift of song the parents
and the grandparents of the present
generation. 1t is not probable that
single individual in the audience that
assembled in Carnegie hall to hear
Patti sing expected to enjoy her voice
or to profit by her art. Curiosity i'm
PEELED their attendance They went to

was able to thrill the singer as those
other handclappings did, or whether it

A WHOLESOME DISCUSSION.

The discussion1of the proper Hmita-
tions and direction of courses Of study
in high schools, normal schools and
universities, that is now interesting
various educational authorities in this
state, seems to us necessary and whole
some. The American people are liber-
al, almost prodigal in the provision
that they make for educational pur-
poses. Whatever may legitimately
bear that name is sure of their enthu-
siastic support. But it does not seem
to us that, from highest to lowest,
there has been thought out rational
system of the adaptation of educational
means to ends, or a proper co-ordina-
tion of one educational instrumentality
with another.
It is natural that the mechanical idea
should have been the prevailing one,
because the mechanical element is all
too prevalent in. our public education.
We conceive it as a whole, and arrange
vast machine, with the primary
school at one end and the university
at the other. Then we throw every
thing into the hopper, turn the crank
and wonder why results are not salts
factory. The graded system itself is
mechanical. The scheme of making
the chief object of each grade or room
or institution to be a mere feeder for
the one next above it is both mechani-
cal and disastrous. For it presupposes
a uniformity of mental facility and de-
velopment that does not exist, and a
progression of eacn Individual from
top to bottom that takes place only In
small, an insignificant percentage of
cases.
The view which regards the high
The Saint Paul globe., 1903-11-08

nounced durable, it still remains true
that, having once been subject to the
disease he is always liable to It's re-
turn. The man who under insane I'M
pulse has once killed may kill again.
Somebody must suffer. Either pos
sible future victim must be sacrlflced
or the man whose life is already really
forfeit to the state. Yet we treat such
offenders with peculiar tenderness
and society is Mortified at a suggestion
for their execution.
The time has about come, we THINK
for a general revision of the at pres
ent hazy and sentimental notions or
people at large with reference to crime
and it's punishment. We live in a
world of stern facts, and have to &C
commodate ourselves to them. That
will be the ruling principle Of the read
iustment of our penal and reformatory
systems which we believe to be near at
hand.

and from our posters that will invite
the eye during the coming week. 1t
need not be said that this addition to
the Sunday GIob b e, which raises the
ordinary size Of the paper from thirty
two to forty pages subject to still other
additions in the immediate future, is
made without additional charge to the
reader.
We have many other plans In view
and under way for placing L
Globe among the very first of the
great newspapers Of the country. Our
Washington special service has already
attracted universal attention by it's in
comparable merits in presenting all the
exclusive news fully, clearly and terse-
ly every day. With the improvements
that have now been made in the Sun
day GIob e, including the addition OF
these color supplements, it will stand
without a rival, at least in its territory.
We believe that the people Of the
Northwest appreciate the best, that
they demand it and that they will
cheerfulIy support those who give it to
them. We have placed our standard
high and are confident Of public ap-
probation. Watch for next Sundays
