DASHED THROUGH. FLAMES
BOY RAN TERRIBLE RlSK TO RESCUE
cows FROM BURNING BUILDING.
Full Particulars of Recent Fire at Cor
dray. Mr.. Phillips, Badly Burned,
Is Confined TO His Home.

Two weeks ago The News publish
ed short account of fire at Cordray,
in which Mr.. C. B. Phillips lost his
barn and horse.
The most interesting part of the &C.
currence-the dash through the
flames of an eleven year old boy to
save some cows, and the serious burn
ing of Mr.. Phillips, which will confine
him to his home for several weeks
have never been published.
The News has just received from
Mr.. Phillips full account of the fire,
as follows:
"My stockade, horse, wagon, har-
ness, plantation tools and all my feed
stuff-in fact, everything at the stock
of cOws-were burned. [ got my bug
gy out, and my little eleven year old
son ran a terrible risk by dash.ng
through sheet. of flames and pulling
open the door where the COWS were
confined.
81 was barefooted, ready to go to
bed, when the fire was discovered, and
did not take time to put on my shoes.
| went into the stockade TO try TO get
my horse out, and got so badly burned
that | have not walked a step since,
nor even sit up until today. 1t will
be at least a week or ten DAYS before |

tor says l cannot wear shoe before

"The three-room dwelling, two 9TH
err houses near the stOckade and all
the fencing were burned. According
to the best ejaculation that | can make
my loss is 81, 200 with only $435 insur-
ance, but YOU can tell the people that
my stockade will be put back at once.
and | will be ready to take care of
stock for the hunters and spOrtsmen

as soon as the necessary details for dis

The adiutant general calls attention
to the rules of the department which
holds officers accountable to the state

is called to this rule on account OF the
fact that the Krag is very easily ruined

more persons to battle at once. This
is free as the sunshine to all who
have their own bathing suits. Such
as have no suits may rent them for
five cents an hour. The place is
thoroughly lighted and policed, has
expert swimmers whose duties are
not only to teach beginners how to
swim but TO s'rescue the perishing. =
There are swings, merry-go-rounds
and other devices, free to the chill
dren, and refreshments stands where
a substantial lunch may be had for
from five to ten cents. The whole
object was to provide place where
poor people and their children could
go for bath and an outing without
expense. Arrangements have also
been made whereby mothers may
leave their babies all day while they
go shopping, or work, or make a
journey. A large nursery has been
fitted up for this purpose according
to the most modern methods known
to sanitary science, and placed in
charge of trusty and competent
nurses. This enormous plant is
the consummation of scheme as
beneficent as it is gigantic, and to
DR.. O'Hage alone is the city indebt-
ed for it.
It could hardly be expected that
DR.. O'Hage could carry out his
ideas for reform along the lines in
dicated without opposition. His
idea of subordinating every COM
mercial aud social interest to the
paramount question of public health
would naturally arouse the hostility
of the Barnacles, and st. Paul has a
number from the original package.
The men who think there is some
thing to live for besides money max
lag stand by DR.. OHage; but the
men suffering with an infection of
the miser microbe, the fellows who
eat pork three times day and en-
compass semicircle of mince pie
every evening for night-cap, whose
only ideas are an inheritance and
whose minds are in a chronic state
of mildew-these fellows think Dr.
IO'Hage is enforcing diabolical
scheme to crowd them off the earth.
But that is to be expected. In
every locality may be found people
who are continually placing rocks
before the wheels of progress and
enlightened civilization, though few
localities are fortunate enough to
have an O'Hage to brush the obsta-
cles from the track.
The common people, whose inter-
ests he espouses. are with Dr.
O'Hage, heart and soul, and he
can have anything within their
power to give. Politically he is a
democrat, though he is not a politi-
clan in the accepted sense of the
term. Should he ever become a
candidate for mayor of St. Paul he
would receive the most overwhelm-
ing vote ever given a candidate for
that position. But he has never
limited that he had aspirations in
that direction, and for this Mayor
Smith is truly thankful. Mayer
Smith understands the situation,
and knows that it's goodbye "De
Bob whenever DR.. O'Hage says
the word. Mayor Smith appointed
DR., O'Hage to his present position,
originally, and has kept on appoint
ing him ever since. And he will
cantinue to appoint him so long as
he has the appointing power. It is
a pity that every large city cannot
| have an O'Hage. W. M. T.

SCORES HIGH SCHOOLS.
Hon. J.. A. Tawney Of the First District
Disguised with Them.

Hon. ]. A. Tawney, represents
tive in congress from the First con-
gressional district, recently took
occasion to score the high school
system of the state, after receiving
telegram from Commander Cowles
of the navy department, stating
that the one principal and two al
ternates he had appointed to take
the examination for admission to
the naval academy at Annapolis,
and who took the examination at ST.
Paul, had failed to pass. Mr.. Taw-
ney said that under the present
law the examinations are merely in
the elementary branches, reading,
writing, arithmetic, geography, al
zebra and geometry. Two of the
young men who have just failed to
pass these examinations are attend
ing the high school in this city and
the third is in the high school at
Wabasha and will graduate at the
close of the school year.
This makes no less than eight
young men I have appointed to An
napolis and West Point who were
graduates of high schools or in the
graduating classes who haye failed
in passing the examinations in these
elementary studies.
''This fact is rather a sad com.
mentary upon the system of cram
ming which at present prevails moi
only in the Winona high school
but in others as well.
'sIf our children after passing
through the graded schools where
they are taught the elementary
branches are obliged to take up sc
many different studies in the high
er branches as to cause them te
lose all the benefit derived from the
stud y of the elementary branches
as seems to be the case, Judging
from the results of these examina
tions, it might be well for our school
boards and parents to consider the
advisability of modifying to some
extent the system or course or both
n Nv so vigorously enforced by advo-
Gates of higher education.
In my opinion, which is based
on my experience, the chances OF
passing the Annapolis and West
Point examinations would be much
increased if the applicants were
now or had been attending country
schools or graded schools in cities.
1t would seem practically useless to
appoint Young men graduates from
high schools or in the graduating
classes. =
