COUNCILMEN.

Nearly every mail brings to us letters of inquiry from many of the small settlements along the coast of Alaska, seeking information in regard to the education of the chill dren. The children are very anx- ious to learn; and the parents are more than anxious to have them taught. In some instances when the necessary funds could be spared from the family's meagre hoard- ings, the children have been sent out to the Indian school in Wash ington. But there are not many who care to thus part with their offspring, and not have an oppor- tunity to see them again in num- Der of years.
 At one settlement on Prince Will liam sound where there are ten or more children of school age, the inhabitants are ready to build school house, but there is no visi- ble means of paying q teacher. At another place on the coast where there are over thirty children, they have school house and occasion ally mission teacher, where the teaching goes on for couple of months in year, and just about the time the children are begin ming to understand a study the school is closed, and before it is opened again they have forgotten the subject.
 Although we are in possession of Alaska for about 35 years, Russia still maintains number of schools here where there is more attention given to the Russian language and Russian institutions than to any, thing American.
 Alaska is good producer. turn ing into the government funds suf- ficient to warrant the government in giving every child within our borders fair education.
 It is true that Sheldon Jackson is sent here occasionally as superin- tendent of education, to attend to such affairs, bnt he is also given the responsibility of looking after the reindeer industry of Alaska. He cannot very we'll attend to both, and if, as it would seem, his serv- ices are more valuable in the rein deer business, then why not split up his dual position, and put in charge man whose duty it shall be to attend strictly to the educa- tional question, and whose resid. ence must be in Alaska. This lat ter is very important point. The correspondence educational system may be all right in enlightened communities, but it will not do in Alaska.
 We have great coast line with settlements all along. A superin- tendent who comes up on one of the first summer boats intending to leave in the early fall, can at tend to very little else than travel ing. And it looks too much like paying man to leave Washington for summers vacation.
 There has never been any att tempt made to educate the ma ives of the interior; if educated they would be found to be very bright and useful. If some attempt was made in that direction a good, live superintendent would know the needs of the country, and would make the necessary recommenda- tions to the bureau of education, and with every probability that his suggestions w8ald be indorsea.

Paine'SCelery
Compound
CURES RHEUMATISM,

Rheumatism, which does its terrible work
in the muscles, joints, and tissues, is caused by
uric acid which gathers in the blood. To get
rid of this poisonous acid which produces the
irritations, pains, agonies, infammations, and
swellings peculiar to rheumatism, Paines
Celery Compound should be used without
delay. No other medicine gives such prompt,
cheering, and happy results. 1t is the only
medicine that prevents return of the dreaded
disease. Paine's Celery Compound braces
the nerves, the blood is quickly cleared of all
irritating poisons, tissue and muscle are built
up, and the digestive organs perfectly toned.
Do not treat with indifference the slightest
rheumatic symptoms; the early use of Paine's
Celery Compound will save you weeks and
months of suffering. Mr.. S. D. Conway,
St. Louis, Mo-, was permanently cured by
Paine's Celery Compound after repeated fail
ures with other medicines and physicians; he

exception of three years, have served in the
Engineers Department as Inspector. Last
winter contracted rheumatism and was laid
up. tried all remedies and doctors, but all
failed until I struck Paine's Celery Compound,
which has made permanent cure in my case.

have used it with the same result.''

FLETCHER HAS VANISHED.
Man Facing Embezzlement Charges
Takes Leave Of Sanborn.

Chas. w. Fletcher, the San born jewel
er against whom proceedings for en-
bezzlement were pending, has disap-
peared. He closed up his store at Sam
born Saturday night and left the town,
his present whereabouts being unknown.
Fletcher is the young society man
whose. sensational escapade at Sleepy
Eye attracted such widespread attention
last winter. He was formerly employed
by Christ Arveson, a jeweler, at Sleepy
Eye, ana is alledged to have violated
the trust reposed III him. He had a
taste for good clothes and frivolous
habits and was unable to fnancier his
affairs in such way as to live within
his income.
After beng with Mr.. Arveson for sew
eral years he decided to locate at San
born and his employer advanced money
for him to start his business. Then he
married teacher IN the Sleepy Eye
public schools but short time after
his wedding Mr.. A1vesou discovered
that his books showed a shortage OF
about $500. He caused Fletcher's arrest
and served attachment papers upon his
| stock.
Sanborn people believed the young
man was being prosecuted and they are
said to have loaned him $500 recently
to tide him over his troubles. About
two weeks ago his wife's parents, who
live at Alexandria, got wind of Fletch
er's predicament and they caused theil
daughter to return to her home. Satur.
day Fletcher also left Sanborn, going
away quietly and without remembering
to pay about $500 which he owed te
various business men. 49,
He left the store locked and the dool
nailed, but when an entrance was effect
ed it was found that he had taken all hi
jewelry. Mr.. Arveson was in the cit,
this morning consulting with his law
yers, Hoidale & Somsen. He contem
plates seeking Fletcher out and pros
ecuting him criminally. a..
