School Statistics

OF the five tribes, the Cherokees
have undoubtedly made more adj
vancement along educational lines
than any of the other tribes. They
were the only Indian nation to in
vent an alphabet Of their own and
the first to establish school sys-
tenn. In the early days Of their
Western history they had printing
presses and a newspaper, which is
maintained to this day. The Cher
okee refuse to intermarry with ne
groes and draw the line socially nj
schools. Last year there were 100
teachers employed in this nation,
and there were 6,I87 pupils en-
rolled, costing the nation $IIo, ,8I8.
In the Creek nation there are
nine boarding schools, in addition
TO the day schools in rural neigh
borhoods, six of which are exclu-
sively for negroes, and others adj
mittiug them. The enrollmont for
the year was 2,557, and the cost
was s7s,356. The Creeks inter
marry with the negroes.
In the Choctaw nation there are
ten boarding schools supported by
lhe pupils enrolled, there being Az
Of them last year. There are I75
day schools, in which are enrolled
3,ooS Choctaw children, who are
being educated at a cost Of SIG,
56I annually
In the chickasaw nation the
schools are more inadequate than
any Of the other nations. Chicka-
saws are allowed 70 control their
own school expenses. k. G..

Senator Burlon.

Button and his kind. That is
what's the matter with Kansas. He
was the product Of a state political
ly rotten. by such corrupt means as
would have caused him to be re-
jected by any other then the re-
publican body 10 which he was
elected. There never was any
doubt Of the methods employed 10
bring about the election of this
man. He was notoriously corrupt,
a time-serving seeker for plumber in
ways political.
1t is not probable that Burton
represented in any degree the ma
jority Of the people OF Kansas. In
spite Of their vagaries, their insta-
bility, they are not essentially dis
honest. They simply lack ideals.
BGt they are responsible for Bur
ton and his kind. They have not
demanded of the men they have

have persisted in electing to legis-
lative Office men Of more than ques-
tionable character. And Burton
sprung from rotten legislative tim

NEW KIND OF CORN.
That, is, iowa Soil Has Not Been Ac-
customed to Producing 1t.

An Eldora, Iowa, dispatch says:
Iowa has again proved the prolific
qualities of its soil by producing some
of the corn that was raised in Syria
and in parts of the Holy Land during
the time of Christ.
DR.. William Hooper Young. of this
city, has successfully grown this fall
field of curious corn which is the
descendant of the cereal which has
raised on the plains of Bethlehem
and is identical in shape, form and
by the prodigal son, as he ate with
the swine as related in the parable
mentioned in Holy Writ.
DR.. Young secured the peculiar
seed from a travelling Syrian whom
he CHANGED to meet last spring and
the foreigner assured the physician
that the corn would grow in this cli-
mate. The kernels all have separate
husks and encased in the husk this
kernel is of yellow and sometimes
of white color and the taste is
sweet.
The ears grow to rather an aver
age size, are peculiar in appearance
and indeed make a curiosity to look
upon. DR.. Young feels confident
that this same corn could be success
fully grown in this state, and is sure
that it would be more hardy and able
to Withstand the late falls and early
frosts much better than does the Or
dinary field corn which is common
to this locality.
The ears which have been gather
ed and exhibited have attracted a
great deal Of attention and the proph-
ecy of the strange Syrian who fur
nished the seed has come true in re-
gard to the growth of the peculiar
cereal in Iowa.

JUDGE BALLET HERE.
Father of the Famous Mining Pro-
moter I'm the City Last Night.

Judge 1. M. Ballet, of Des Moines,
Iowa, father of Letson Ballet, the fa-
nous mining promoter who has been
tried in the United States courts four
times for fraudulent mining opera
tions and for sending fraudulent mat
ter through the mails, was guest of
Hotel st. George last night.
Judge Ballet is one of the most
highly respected citizens of Iowa, and
has made every effort to clear up
the charges against his son, who is
the most noted mining plunger of the
Pacific coast. Letson Ballet will be
tried for the fifth time at Des Moines
this winter for defrauding innocent
victims through his sale of White
Swan mining stock. Judge Ballet is
a pleasant and scholarly man, and
one of the most prominent jurists of
Iowa.

Several Kinds of SausaEes.

The Germans, in most instances, al
together discard bread crumbs for their
sausages, and when they do use them
mOisten them with milk or water, but
the Italians refuse to put any bread
into their sausages, and they claim
that their famous 'Bolognese morta-
della is at once more nOurishing
and more economical sausage than
the very best German wurst, mas
much as the ''mortadella' must be
boiled three times before it is properly
cooked, and the water in which it has
been boiled constitutes a strong clear
soup. The Romans make likewise
highly ambitious sausage, in which no
kind of bread is allowed to enter. They
call it 'Zampino," which is the foot
and leg of young pork, the best of
which is obtained from Modena.
A leg freshly sailed is chosen and
carefully skinned, the trotter being
preserved; then the meat is finely
minced and after being seasoned is re-
placed in the ''Zampino," which is tied
with string and simmered in an oval
pan for two hours. Wholly innocent of
bread crumbs are also the renowned
"cervelaS' Of Strassburg.

his face. He had been incarcerated
for thirty years, and when liberated he
begged to be taken back to his prison.
The people tlocked in thousands to see
the dungeons, and Nine. TusSaud was
prevailed upon to accompany her uncle
and few friends for the same pur-
pose. While descending the narrow
stairs her foot slipped, and she was on
the point of falling when she was
saved by RobeSpierre. who held out his

her from coming to the ground. ut
