annual drafts on both their national
treasures have been mounting Is
hitherto uuheard of heights. a com.
parison of figures on this point is we'll
worth while. Within the last ten years
the British governments ordinary an
nual expenditures have increased by
S140, 900, 600. This is apart from the
expenditures on the Boer and Chinese
wars, which amounted in round figures
to 81, 600, 900, 900. The ten-year period
of British extravaganza photographs
itself in these grand totals:
National expenditures, 1898 $500 GOO 900
National expenditures 1902 ........ ~, OOC 600
Army and navy expenditures, 1893... 1853 000,O 900
Army and navy expenditures 1902. 504, 000. 900
These figures are in themselves an
eloquent discourse on what it means
for a nation to 90 empire-mad and
throw the counsels of peace and econ
omy to the Winds. But how about our
own national account? Here in the
same brief compass Is q comparison
OF the expenditures of the United States
for the same ten-year period:
National expenditures 1884,. $459. 000, 600
National expenditures, 1902. ........ 500 100000
Army and navy expenditures, 1885,. $4,000, 900

These figures only represent the in

Guiding the extra expenditures of the
war with Spain and the Philippine

been exactly computed, but close esti-

Emerson on
CHE Poet

The poet is representative. He
stands among partial men for the CON-
plete man and apprises us not Of his
wealth, but of the commonwealth.
The poet is the sayer, the manner, and
represents beauty. He is a sovereign,
and stands on the center, for the
world is not painted or adorned. but is
from the beginning beautiful, and God
has not made some beautiful things,
but beauty is the creator of the uni
verse. Therefore the poet is not any
permissive potentate, but is emperor
in his own right.
The sign and credentials of the poet
are that he announces that which no
man foretold. He is the true and only
doctor; he knows and tells; he is the
only teller Of news, for he was present
and privy to the appearance which he
describes. He is beholder of ideas
and an utterer of the necessary and
casual.
AS the eyes of Lyncmus were said to
see through the earth. so the poet
turns the world to glass and shows us
all things in their right series and pro-
cession, for through that better per-
ception he stands one step nearer to
things and sees the flowing or meta
morphosis, perceives that thought is
multiform, that within the form Of
every creature is a force impelling it
to ascend into higher form, and, fol-
lowing with his eyes the life, uses the
forms which express that life, and so
his speech flows with the flowing of
nature.
He uses forms according to the life
and not according to the form. This is
true science. The poet alone knows
astronomy, chemistry, vegetation and
animation, for he does not stop at
these facts, but employs them as signs.
He knows why the plain or meadow
of space was strewn with these flowers
we call suns and moons and stars, why
the great deep is adorned with: ami
mails, with men and gods, for in every
word he speaks he rides on them as the
horses Of thought. 5Szsg g5@s..s

Offers Reward ar S2S 90.

= 81. T. Olson offers reward Of S25
for any clue that will lead to the cap
ture of Willie Clark, who made away
with his wife's valuables on the Tall
man farm last Friday evening. Upto
this writing nothing has been heard of
the thief, and as the complaint for his
arrest was made at a time when he
had bad plenty of time to escape it is
sale to say that he has covered con-
siderable territory by this time. Mr..
Olson places the value upon the stolen
jewelry as follows: Gold watch and
chain, 1926; diamond ring, $50, and
another set ring at SO.
The thief had overlooked some cash
in the bureau drawer amounting to
about SIP. He had rifled different
parts of the house while Mrs. Olson
was busy at work upstairs. The sum
of A>taken out of the pockets of Mr..
Tande was all the money that young
man had and he felt his loss keenlv.
The note for 500 belonging to Mr..
Mckenzie was afterwards discovered,
as it had apparently become lost
while the pockets :of the two
men were being rifled. The theft was
discovered at 10 o'clock when the
household had retired for the night.
Mrs: Olson upon discovering the loss
OF her jewelry reported the affair to
Foreman Hong, who occupied quar-
ers on the second floor. The authori-
ties in this city were not notified until
the next morning. Mrs. Olsen's jew
elry comprised the wedding gifts from
her husband and she naturally priced
them very highly.

School Teacher will Receive Her Salary

An opinion filed by Judge Brown is
of especial interest to school teachers
and school boards. The court holds
that if q board enters into an agree
ment with a teacher, judges her COM
petent, and allows her to teach, it can
not beat her out of her salary on the
ground that the board had found that
her certificate was not valid.
Lille G. Smell entered into a written
agreement with the county superinten-
dent of Clay county to teach in the
New B :rnesville schools. The super
intendent claimed that he afterwards
found that her certificate was no
longer in force. He then declared that
the contract was of no value, and re-
fused to pay her the 1856 salary due.
The lower court found for the plain
tiff and the school appealed. The SUI
preme court holds:
Lille G. Smell, respondent, vs..
James Glasgow, as president of the
board of education of New GAINESVILLE
appellant.
A county superintendent of schools
at the request of the board of educat-
ion of an independent school district
made under Section 1919, G. s.. 1894,
examined plaintiff as to her COM
potency to teach in the public schools
and issued to her q proper certificate
of qualifications; Held, that such
certificate was issued to her by the
county superintendent in virtue of his
office and duly qualified plaintiff to
teach in the schools of the county un-
til revoked, and even though Section
1910, under which the board OF edu-
cation requested him to make such ex-
animation, may have been repealed
prior to the issuance OF the certificate
or subsequently thereto, the contract
entered into by plaintiff with such
board of education, based upon such
certificate, was valid and binding. &C

The RATE IS SETTLED
Commission and Railways Settle Re-
duction on Coal and Lumber.

ouctlon on Coal and Lumber.
After many days and much discus
| sion, the controversy between the state
railroad and warehouse commission
and the railroads, as to the reduction
in rates on coal and lumber, was amic-
ably settled yesterday afternoon.
The investigation by the commission
into the rates was inaugurated by q
complaint from dealer in Litchfield,
who thought that the rates to that
point were excessive, and the matter
of general REIMBURSEMENT has been
under discussion since January. Sew.
eral hearings have been held and the
commission and the traffic officials
have been in session for the past two
days.
Yesterday, when the arrangement
had been made, which, in a certain
measure may be looked upon as q
compromise, every one of the traffic
men and the commissioners expressed
| himself as delighted and all were
pleased that the matter was ended.
The commissioners were of the unani-
nous opinion that q substantial re-
duction was necessary, but knew that
if they tried to effect too much at this
time that the matter would be tied up
in the courts in endless litigation and
preferred to bring about change for
the better at the present time, rather
than take the chance of trying for too
much and perhaps obtaining nothing.
The agreement reached yesterday
calls for 4 reduction on lumber, be-
ginning at about forty miles and grad
ing up to seventy-fve miles, where the
reduction shall be Is per cent to all
points beyond, and practically re-
duc9ion of 10 per cent on hard coal
for all distances up to 300 miles.
Soft coal is not to take any higher
rate than hard coal. This rate will
not apply, however, between the Twin
Cities and Duluth, where the commits
sion finds there now exists as low or a
lower rate than between any two points
in the country similarly situated. At
q few points the reduction in the coal
rates will not apply, but in each of
those cases there is already a rate
prevailing lower than $40 of q cent
per ton per mile.
Throughout the conference Judge
Mills has taken the position that the
rate fixed in the New Ulm case
should apply, he having been mem
Der of the commission at the time the
rate was made, but he says he thinks
the decision arrived at by the commits
sioners is wise, as it gives the people

of four years. law suit.

Brown played her first game In the
series OF practice games arranged with
southern teams yesterday. defeating the
University OF North Carolina by the score
OF 20 /.
The game was witnessed by about 1000
people and was an interesting contest.
neither team sending a man over the
home plate until the sixth inning, when
Gray got first on buut, took second on
a passed ball. and came home on Met
calfs drive to right field.
Carolina also talhed i'm this inning
making a single and double and then
reaching home on passed ball by Clarke.
Neither team scored again ill the
eighth, when Brown punched a few
singles and sent three men around the
bases and safely home, assisted by few
costly errors by the Carolina men.
The Carolina team tried hard 10 win
out and were heartily cheered by the
rooters, but was unable to solve Lynchs s
delivery.
The Brown supporters are much encour-
eyed by the showing OF the team and
think that the material this year ought 20
be the making OF strong nine.
Twenty OF the two dozen men were sick
on the trip down. and few Of the men
were still little weak from its effects
Brown played almost an errorless game,
making but one error They were most
weak at tho bat but this is due to lack
OF practice outdoors.
Lynch played a star game on the slab
and allowed but three safe hits.
