was made to give children anything
but an elementary education.
From the record of three schools Of
fifty years ago it gives tremendous con-
trast to turn to that of the present,
passing over the period of growth and
at once presenting the figures which
bear witness to the immense strides
made by st. Paul In its system of pub
lie education. Today st. Paul has
forty-eight immense grade schools

E7HZ story of the educational in
terests of st. Paul during the
past fifty years is record Of
growth and progress all along
the line. AS the city has grown in
size and prosperity, so have it's people
grown in their desire that st. Paul
should give its children educational
advantages commensurate with its I'M
portance. While many OF the young
men and women of this city go to
Eastern schools, they go more because
OF a fancy for a particular school
which may have been the alma mater
OF their parents than for lack Of the
best at home. St Paul at present is
eXcellently well equipped in the mat
ter of schools and colleges possessing
several institutions Of the first rank
for higher learning.
The earliest record of the school life
of St. Paul which may be called the
foreshadowing of the splendid system
OF public schools of the present may
be found in an old book in the posses
sion of the State Historical society,
which contains the minutes of the first
municipal meetings ever held here. 1t
is there set down that on Dec. 1, 1S49,
when st. Paul was village, in re-
Spouse to the general demand, three
schools were ordered opened, "one on
the Randall lot, one in the basement
Of the Methodist church and one in

While the educational institutions of
the Sisters of St Joseph in st. Paul are

and enterprise, they are small to what

Among the educational institutions
of the Northwest there is none that is
developing so rapidly and extending
the sphere of it's influence so widely as
St Thomas college.
The college comprises three depart
ments under the same management.
The classical department prepares
young men for the studies which lead
to the professions. The curriculum
embraces Latin, Greek, English, math-
emattcs, French, German, history,
chemistry, physics, geology, astronomy,
physiology. The graduates Of this de-
partment either matriculate in various
universities to take up purely profess
st0nal studies or enter seminaries to
prosecute the studies required for the
priesthood. The college is now largely
represented in professional and clerical
life. and every year the list of it's dis
ungutshed alumni is growing longer
The commercial department offers
complete business training. The pro-
gramme of studies includes boollkeep-
ing. photography, typewriting, CONNER

A Remarkable Story Cn the Subject of
 Eating
NINETY THREE THOUSAND DOL. LARS IN MEAL TICKETS IN SEVEN MONTHS THE REC
 ORD OF THE ENG
 LiSH KITCHEN

This story hardly coincides with the Bubonic Plague truthful report in an other column. But it Is interesting from the standpoint that goes to show the eating capacity of the boys" in this camp at one place.
 Frequenters of the famous English Kitchen. on stepping to the cashiers desk. will have noticed piled up on the desk top behind that important of ficial of the restaurant, packages of red. green and blue tickets, tied in bundles of 100 or so. Did 1t ever oc- cur to you what those little paste boards represented? No? Well. We happen to know, and the reader will be astcnished al the statement, prob ably. That pile of tickets represents the handsome sum of over $73,000 that have beeen canceled. In other words, there have been sold and punched since October 15, 1902, over seventy three thousand dollars worth of meal tickets, and the Review is just deliver ing to Boston & Brown twenty thou sand dollars worth more. making to- tai of upwards of NINETY THOU SAND DOLLARS worth of meals serv- ed to patrons. The consecutive nun bers on the tickets will show and prove the number. Mind you, this is only the number of commuters and the amount covered by the purchase of tickets at $500 each. What the fig ures would be and are for the fellows and patrons who pay cassh are known noly to the proprietors, but certainly Boston & Brown are to be congratulat- ed in the handsome business they have established on Main street. and to which they are justly entitled. for they are both the hardest kind of workers, the princes of good fellows to do business with and popular with everybody.

 The trip was made for the purpose of closing a deal looking to the ac- quirement of 3O0.0O0 acres of land in that stale, a concession from the Mexi- can government to Martinez de Cas- tro, member of the Mexican congress from the Culiaoan district

 The tract is situated in the richest part of Sioaloa, and embraces both as ricuItural and timber land. The land adap>ed to agricultural purposes is admirably suited to coffee and sugar piantaticns. and with American push and enterprise back of its develop ment this is destined to be cne of the richest sections of the sister republic.

This will show to the outside world that Bisbee Bubonic Plague is a gentleman. and has been brought, up in a refined and genteel manner. Bubonic Plague is particu- larly to be commended for this, for there are so few of the male sex left, that they would be helpless if MT.

 Such has been the terrible ravages of the disease in Bisbee that the wom- en of the town. not being attacked by the Bubonic Plague. are now taking the places of the dead in the smelters, and although we have not been under the ground ourselves for a day or so, reports come up from the stopes and drifts that seven thousand old ladies, maids and young girls of four and five years of age are running cars and do ing the drilling down there.
 All this is bound to work a hardship in other directions, for the reason that there were formerly many steady young men laying up competencies here. in fact becoming rich, and their untimely ends will be apt to stop the inducements for marriageable young ladies from abroad to come to poor old Bisbee.
 Arrangements have been made by the newspapers to receive wireless messages from the outside. and these are to be fumigated while en route, at least that is what the doctors say.

It is exceedingly difficult for the undertakers, too, for the cyanide with which the corpses are charged are apt to inoculate them.

The Mexican stole the bird some time in the night. and beheaded him between his home and where he made the raise" He carried his stolen plunder head down, and left trail of blood right into his house. He plead not guilty, saying that one of his numerous children had had a nose bleed, which accounted for the blood. As part of the turkey was found near the house. the bloody nose story did not pass, and the hombre will work thirty days with the street gang.

Boston Sentiment Is Im- proving Towards Old
 Dominion
RESULTS FOR MARCH AND APRIL AWAkENS NEW INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY-BETTE FEELING EXISTS
 FOR THE
 FUTURE.


 State street sentiment regarding old Dominion proposition is steadily showing an improvement. The re- suits secured by the mine during the months of March and April were so gratifying that they have stimulated a much better feeling regarding the prospects for the immediate future, and if President Smith shall succeed working out the plans that he has In hand, he. is bound, it would seem, to nullify much of the criticism to which he has so long been subjected in con nection with the management of this property.
 "The April production of the mine was more than that for March, being over 1,5O0.0 pounds, and by reason of the improvement in the metal mar ket the net income was increased from s39, 900 in March to fully s50,000 for April. The average price receiv- ed for the mines production for the month of April has been about 13 cents against 12 2s9 for the previous months. The company is now talk ing care of its operating costs.
 The old New Jersey company which is still operating the company has borrowed from the new Maine company $2e500 ont of the available s300.000 advanced under the propos ed merger agreement, but is not like ly to require more at present There are no new developments with refer ence to the pending court decision and neither party to the controversy is indicating it's intentions in the i'm |, mediate future.'

Make Appeal for Re-
lief From Loco
Weed

Stocl,men in the Texas Panhandle
and Northwestern Oklahoma are daily
fling complaints with the government
relative to cattle losses from eating
the loco weed. It is estimated the
total loss this summer viii be larger
than ever before as result OF the
weed s rapid growth Government ex.
perts are endeavoring to find out tho
working principle Of this weed and II
possible to devise some means for ex-
terminating It.
The loco weed is the worst pest ia
the Southwest with which catucmer
have to combat There are several
species of the weed. but all act in a
similar manner on the stock which
feed upon them. The weed evidently
contains poison of some kind. which
acts upon the brains OF the cattle OF
horses. which eat &C, as the animals
arc soon afterward attacked with a
form Of Insanity. Sheep alone are not
affected by tile weed and they eat il
abundantly without harm.
The expert chemists Of the semi
arid belt have determined to find out
the exact composition Of the weed and
then find way to render It harmless
and interesting developments are ex-
pected. The weed and all Of it's
species, gets its name from the Span
ish who were the hrst to experience
trouble and loss from it's evil effects
on their cattle and other live stock
Wild animals of the grazing order

weed as deadly poison
/ In the Panhandle country especially
the expense to cattlemen from this
weed is one of the big items of the
year; when the wild prairie grass be
gins to yield to the summers heat and
feed for hive stock IS getting scarce on
the big ranches, the closest care must
be taken to prevent cattle from eating
this weed, which grows plentifuily and
in large patches The excessive
growth this year is accounted for hy
the ranchmen. who state that the con
tinaed late rains fed the plants and
made them thrive and become rank.
