The terra Gotta for the cornice of
the new library arrived here last
week from St. Louis and is now be-
ing placed in position by the work
men. The terra Gotta was burned
to match the pressed brick and
stone in the building and presents
a magnificent appearance. The
granite columns have also arrived
from St. Cloud where they were
sent to be polished, and the exter-
Tor OF the building is rapidly near

Daniel Mclean has moved his

At the meeting of Redwood Falls
commandery No. ID, knights Temp
lar, the evening of July IL, past emf
nent commander jewels were pre-
sented to Messrs. III. N. Bell, 0. L.
Dornberg, G. E. Mckay, M. E.
Powell and JOS. Tyson, all past
commanders of the local command
cry. The jewels were of sold
gold, handsomely engraved and
mounted, the design being special
one originated by Maj. Powell for
the use of the local commandery.
The last jewel was presented to
Mr.. Powell, tn e first eminent com
mander OF the Redwood command
cry, and also a past eminent grand
commander of the state of Minneso-
ia. Maj. Powell responded most
touchingly to 0. l.. Dornberg's pre-
sentation speech, saying that while
he might not reside much longer in
Redwood Falls, no matter where he
would go, his heart would be en-
tirely with the work OF the Redwood
commandery, and with the individ-
ual members OF the organization.
He gave some of the early history
of Templar Knighthood, when it
fought the ID crusades, period OF
200 years, in defense of the Chris
tian religion against that Of the
Moslem and other enemies, and
touched upon the burning at the
stake of the last grand commander
at Acre. He exhorted all Knights
of Redwood commandery to follow
out the precepts Of the earlier
Knights, and closed by saying that
when time for him was no more, he
hoped that the jewel presented to
him that night would adorn the
breast,of his remains as he was
laid away in the casket that would
contain them.

A letter from Frank E. Ring of
Bellefontaine, Ohio. formerly of this
place, says that he and Mrs. Ring
expected to see Redwood Falls this

the right thing this FALL, he con-
tinues, and we hope Minnesota
will do the same, with Redwood the
banner Republican county of the

While in St. Louis Supt, S. ].
wanted to attend the national dem
ocratic convention and see some of
the democratic big guns. There
was only one way for him to gain
admission. He had friend on the
Pennsylvania delegation, who con-
Guided that he did not want to at
tend certain session. That friend
offered to let him use his delegate
badge. Mr.. Race quickly accepted
the excellent opportunity, even if it
was making him democrat for the
time being. Attaching the badge
to his breast he walked down to the
hall. On the way down he met a
number of democratic delegates of
different faith. From Pennsylvania,
eh, and for Parker" they quickly
inquired of him. Sure, replied
Mr.. Race, land we are instructed
to vote as a unit for Judge Parker.
He was passed up. Mr.. Race says
he enjoyed the session and is free
to admit that there are many big
guns in the democratic party.

support from all sister lodges in the pro-
vince, as well as from the brotherhood
of locomotive engineers and the brick
layers and machinists' unions who are
employed on the plant.

THE TROUBLE WITH MOROCCO.

The following cablegram has been re-
ceived at the Navy Department from
Rear Admiral Chadwick, commanding
the South Atlantic squadron at Tangier ::
'The seizure of the American citizen
Ion Perdicaris by the insurgent chief
was to bring pressure on the Sultan OF
Morocco to secure the demands of the
tribe. Our sense of the gravity of the
case is shown by the presence of the
American squadron, and will undoubted-
ly cause the earlier yielding by the Sui
tan of Morocco to the demands of the
chief, which is the only safe means of
releasing the captive"
There is the highest authority for the
statement that an attack on Tangier
or an expedition against the brigands
will be followed by the immediate MUIR
der of the captives.
Through Ambassador Porter Secretary
Hay has requested the French govern
ment to exercise its good offices toward
securing the release of Perdicaris. The
French government has undertaken the
task and because OF its closer association
with the various elements in Morocco it
is believed that it can acc lmplish
more than any other government. The
British government also is acting with
great energy in behalf of young Marley,
the stepson of Perdicaris, and a British
subject, and the British officials are N
communication with the United States
government in the matter.
Admiral Chadwick is not expected at
present to land party ftom his fleet to
pursue the brigands, but it is stated
positively that if Raisuli executes his
threat of killing his captiye5 the United
States government will insist that he be
run down and executed at any cost. 1t
is expected at the Navy Department
that the South Atlantic squadron, now at
Tangier, will be reinforced by the Euro
pean squadron, commanded by Rear
Admiral Jewell, and consisting of the
Olympia, Baltimore and Cleveland,
which left the Azores Saturday. The
battleship Iowa left Horta, Azores, yes
terday fer Lisbon, whittier she was pre-
ceded by the battleships Kearsarge,
Maine and Alabama, of Rear Admiral
Barkers squadron. The Perdicaris
matter was discussed at some length at
Yesterdays Cabinet meeting.
The United States gunbOats Castine
and Marietta arrived at Tangier Monday
night, completing with the cruisers
Brooklyn and Atlanta, which arrived
yesterday, the American squadron sent
there in connection with the kidnapping
by the bandit Raisuli Of Ion Perdicaris
the American, and his stepson, Cromwell
Varley, a British subject. The popula-
ton are deeply impressed by the asseme-
ling of so many United States war yes
sells, and people living outside the city
are removing to Tangier for safety.
The British and American represen-
tatives have sent a special courier to the
Sultan concerning the prisoners. The
officials maintain strict secrecy regarding
the negotiations in progress.

EnUIish Derby,

London, June 1.-The English Derby,
the classical event of the European turf,
was run at Epson today and was won
by Leopold de Rothschild's st. Amant,
5 to /, with X. Cannon up. Sir Iatton
Sykes John O'Gaunt, ridden by Thurs
by, was second, and S. B. JOePs St.
Denis, piloted by Halsey, was third.
The event, which is described as astakes
of 6, 800 sovereigns by subscription OF
fifty sovereigns each, for entire colts and
filles foaled in 1901, was on heavy track
and as a result the time was slow.
w. H. Martin, the American jockey,
was suspended until June 25th for
crossing and boring on his mount, Lady
Honore, in the race for the Caterham
plate.
The only Ameriean-bred colt in the going
was Lancashire, owned by Buchanan, the
whisky distIler. The odds against the colt
were forty to one, and he had but a small fol-
lowing. There were no American jockeys
engaged TO ride in today's race.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. JUNE l, 1904
Nh HARR1s HART, principal of the

Mr.. HARRIS HART, principal OF the
Roanoke City High School, in an article
in the Virginia School Journal says
there is now a marked tendency, en-
couraged by many engaged in the work
Of education and advocated by almost
all not directly connected with the
SCHOOL towards the elimination of the
term examination. This step, be says,
involves a change so radical and ignores
so completely the function of the exam
ination, that some attempt should be
made TO arrest the movement or to direct
it towards some reasonable compromise,
whereby the term examination may be
preserved, and, although given place
OF secondary Importance, perform It's
proper function. Continuing, Mr.. Hart
says:
The most common objections made to
examinations are They misdirect the
powers of the pupil are Enthusiastically
as basis of promotion; are harassing
to the pupil and burden to the teacher
The first is the most serious of these
objections, and refers either to the mis-
direction of the pupil from the daily
recitation or from the ultimate purpose
of his work. As close attention to the
daily recitation will be the chief charac-
teristic of the occasional young student
who has an ultimate purpose, the refer
ences may be considered as one and the
same. The plan of instruction that
emphasizes the examination at the ex-
pense of the daily work is hopelessly
bad. Not only does it disregard the
true spirit of education, but it places
premium on the vicious habit of "cram.
ming" Education is a slow and gradual
process, and in it the daily lesson must,
above all else, be stujiously guarded
The proper function of the examination,
however, 20 far from turning the mind
from the recitation, is to direct the
pupil more attentively to it, to cause
him to fix carefully in his mind what he
studies day by day, tabulate it that his
information may be ready, correlate 1t
to avoid confusion.
