Educational Rally.

The educational rally at jackson
called by State superintendent I'll. L..
Whitfield has finished its labors The
meeting was quite a success. There
were In attendance a large number of
county superintendent, and there was
"a unity of sentiment and effort on the
part Of all. Several important recon-
mendationS were made to the legis-
lature. Among them was the recon-
mendation that lawmakers raise the
qualification of county superinten-
dent to that of professional licensed
teachers; that the salary of county
superintendent be 6 per cent of the
county school fund, not to be less
than 5000 or more than 81 800 a year !;
that normal training school be es-
fablished and the legislature appropri-
ate 100000 for the erection of build
lngs and the maintenance of the school
for the first year; that the salary of
the state superintendent of education
be raised to $1,000 year; that the
county superintendent be be author
lied to appoint deputy, but to pay
for the same out of his own pocket.
The meeting Endorsed the action of the
state board Of education in preparing
a course of reading for those who are
to do institute work, and they also
recommended to the legislature that
that body authorize the state board of
education to formulate course Of
study for high schools, and that pro-
fessional license be required of all
high school principals and teachers.

BANKS PLAN INITIATED.

Prizes Won.

New rk.-Inspector McCluskey,
Of the Detective Bureau, has asked
the postoffice officials to help his
department to exterminate a petty
swindling operation being carried on
in this city. which is said to have
drawn In the aggregate more than
$4,000 from the Middle and far West.
Three men are back of the scheme,
which consists Of securing yearly sub
scriptions Of $1.35 for a magazine
that is barred from the mails. Pro
curing lists of thousands of persons
in distant states, circular letters were
sent out saying that a friend had or
dered the magazine sent them for a
year; that at monthly prize dlxw-
ing they have won valuable watch,
but unfortunately the friend failed
to send $1.35 for the magazine. The
recipient Of the letter is invited to
send the money to procure the prize,
and the police say that thousands have
done so. However, they have refused
to come from their homes to give evil
dence owing to the small sum involv-
ed, and the police say they are power
less to suppress the swindlers

Mans Blood Dried Up.

Richmond, Va,-The death in Kim
ball, Page county, of Homer Fox,
which puzzled all the physicians Of
that community, was due to a drying
up of the blood. Fox's illness began
several months ago. From a robust
handsome young man he became a
physical wreck. He was unable to
walk and had a complexion as white
almost as snow. 1t is said that there
is no known cure for the disease and
that it's cause has never been ascer-
tanned. In the case Of young Fox
it is said that his true condition was
ascertained when no blood followed a
cut, even though an artery was pierre
ed.

THE OUTLOOK
QUITE BRIGHT
ORDERS ARE EVEN LARGER
THAN FOR LAST YEAR.
ACTIVITY IN STEEL MILLS
Has Had Effort of Improving the Stu

Doubtful How Cotton Output Will
Be Affected.

New rk.-Special kilograms from
correspondents of. the International
Mercantile Agency throughout the
United States and Canada regarding
the state of trade are summarized as
follows:
The event of the business week has
been the discovery of a greatly i'm
proved demand for pig iron and wire
nails, and for some forms of steel, no
tably sheets, bars and scrap. In
creased demand for steel products has
started some of the largest plants, and
prices for varieties mentioned are 81
higher per ton. Wire nails have ad-
vanced still further. Ten or fifteen
thousand more industrial employees
have gone back to work with in a
week, but In most instances at low
er rate Of wages. The drag in the
steel rail market. results from unwill-
ingness of railway companies to pay
SIS more a ton than leading interests
are offering rails abroad.
In New England it is still problem
atical how much the output of cotton
goods will be curtailed by the high
price Of cotton
Spring trade outlook in staple lines
is Unexpectedly favorable.
AT Chicago orders compare favora-
bly, with last year, and at St. Louis
they exceed those of the like period
in 1908. AT both Pittsburg and Phil
adelphia business men report a good
effect from the improved situation in
iron and steel; orders have increased,
factories and foundries have started
up. Textile stocks at Philadelphia are
light and increased outputs are pre-
dicted.
The volume of railway traffic at
Chicago is two per cent. larger than a
year ago, with slightly increased earn
ings. At Pittsburg the roads are car

ISTHMIAN WARRIORS WILL,

AGAINST THE COLOMBIANS
They Know All the Tricks of the Fed

With the Panamaians and Will Be

New York. Authentic information
from the frontier is anxiously await
ed here, as the belief is widespread,
cables the Herald's Panama CORES
pondent, that. the Colombians have al
ready started to march upon the 18TH
mus.
The Panamaian troops are ready to
leave on moment s notice The con-
scription has been completed and 12,-
900 fighting men can be placed In the
field.
There is great hustle in preparation
for the shipmen Of rifles and ammuni-
ton the Indians Of the interior, who
have agreed to join against the CO.
lombian forces. Col. Barette Of the
Panamaian army said:
eve who were Colombians until
yesterday cannot be deceived by any
tactics the Colombians may employ.
-Four hundred to five hundred men
stationed in the only three passes
available can defeat an army We have
all the men we actually need, for the
fighting will be done in the mountains.
I'VE expect to repel the invasion
without calling out all the available
troops. The Indians will certainly
fight on our side. The San Bias In
dams, who are Colombian allies, will
not fight at ALL.
Many light cases of fever are re-
ported to already exist in the camps
of the United States marines, espec-
tally among those who have been
scouting along the trails. There is
some yellow fever in Panama now, but
none has appeared in the camps.
Argentina Interested.
New York. The senate has adopt
ed an important resolution relative
to the Panama question, says a dis
patch from Buenos Ayres, Argentina.
1t was maintained by the govern
ment that the matter was one that did
not concern congress, as the execu-
tive was the sole judge of all interna-
tional questions.
There was lively discussion on
this point, and the senate finally
passed a resolution declaring that it
has the right to take cognizance of the
Panama affair and requesting the gov
eminent to submit to congress all doc
uments referring to the question.
