SAYS IT WILL BE
10 DEGREES COLDER
Weather Man Predicts q Drop
in the Temperature
Today.

Without betraying the least excite
ment, Observer Oliver, Of the ST. Paul
weather bureau, announced last night:
1.-THE cyclone is now passing over
the great lakes
For Mr.. divers cyclones are not the
familiar, domestic tornadoes. They
are whirling black lines that sweep
madly across the weather map from
flows" to highs" and highs" to
lows" again.
"a child" says Mr.. Oliver, could
play with them" Last night also the
observer had impaled upon his pen an
"anti-cyclone"
TITS bigger than a cyclone he ex-
planned, with irony; it's got bushier
name, but it's altogether harmless.
It's coming down from Assiniboia, and
will reach the Red river valley tomor-
row morning. It's usually accompa
MED by cool weather.
$50 Tuesday will be 10 or II degrees
colder than today. The mercury will
drop to Is or 20 degrees above zero.
But the skies will continue fair; the
shopping indications remain excellent.
The winds will come from the north
and west. But we'll have warmer
breezes from the south and southeast
Rain Near Pittsburg.
Cali the region to the southwest of
us enjoyed fair weather today. The
only heavy rains were around the
headwaters of the Ohio river. In that
section, near Pittsburg, the rainfall to-
day was Ito inches, which is likely to
make the present floods much worse"
An unusual characteristic of the
weather in North America yesterday
was the harmony of temperatures at
many widely separated stations. At. st.
Paul and Minneapolis yesterday morn
ing the record was 80 degrees; at
Davenport, Iowa, also, at Marquette,
Mich, and even at the thaumaturgic
Medicine Hat, far northward in As
siniboia. But at Santa Fee, N. Mex;
Lander, Wyo.; Miles City, Mont;
at Omaha, Milwaukee, Chicago and at
Boston the reading of the mercury
was "a above. And from Kamloops,
British Columbia; Helena, Mont;
Pierre and Rapid City, S. D.; from
Kansas City and ST. Louis, was tele-
graphed unanimous report of SO

N. D., that is, II above; spring at New

THREE HUNDRED TRY
FORETHIRTY PLACES
School Students Ambitious to Play in
Midsummer Nights Dream"

Part of the trials for places in the
cast of Midsummer Nights Dream"
the play to be presented by the stu
dents of the Central high school, were
held in the high school assembly hall
yesterday afternoon and the remainder
will be held today. Twenty-Five per
cent of the 1000 students are trying
for the thirty places and this makes
the task of selecting the cast hard
one. Heretofore there have been two
plays given each year and the actors
have been chosen from the upper
classes, butthis year the board Of edu-
cation has limited the histrionic efforts
of the students to one play and allowed
any student of the school to try for a
part.
From the proceeds of this play the
Seniors have to get enough money to
pay their graduation expenses. which
generally amount to $500 or $500 and
the Juniors have to make between
$3.50 and 5000 to pay for the reception
which the Junior Glass tenders the
Seniors just before they graduate.

Teeth KILL FARMER
Swallows False Grinders and
Death Results.


A few days ago, while eating plum
pudding, p. Schon1, of Ruthton, Mimi,
swallowed his false teeth. Sunday
Schom died at Luther hospital, st.
Paul, from blood poisoning, resulting
from an operation to remove the teeth
from his stomach.
Schon1 who was forty-five years of
age, was prosperous farmer. Sew
eral months ago he had his own teeth
pulled out and in their stead den
fist fitted set9 of false teeth. The
"phoney" grinders worked well until
week ago, when they became loose.
Schom's family advised him to have
the dentist refit the teeth, but he de-
layed having them adjusted.
Less than a week ago, while eating
some home made pudding, the teeth
were dislodged from their fastenings,
and were swallowed with the food.
WitEtn an hour Schom was taken
sick. The doctor at Ruthton advised
the removal of the sufferer to st. Paul.
When Schom arrived at the Luther
hospital a consultation of physicians
was at once held. 1t was decided that
the mans only chance for life was in
an operation and that even then the
chance was a slim one.
Three days ago 5Schom was operat-
ed upon. Blood poisoning rapidly de-
veloped and Sunday the patient died.

Minnesota is recognized by all the
other states of the Union as model
in it's policy toward its state public
schols," said ]. w. Olsen, state super
intendent of public instruction, to I
G 10 yesterday.
Mr.. Olsen has just returned from
Atlanta, Ga, where he attended the
convention of the department of SUI
perintendence of the National Educa-
tional association, held Feb. 8 to 6 in
elusive.
Our plan of state aid to public
schools is, I find, highly approved by
educators all over the country, and
other states are adopting it. Mime
sofa was the first to appropriate state
money for the aid of public schools,
and here the movement was adopted in
a small way as far back as 1878, al
though it was then abandoned for a
few years and not resumed until 1881.
Then it was only thehigh schools that
received state aid and the first appor-
tionment was $500 to each of the
schools of that class.
"The success of the plan is evident
In the fact that the graded, semi
graded and rural schools have now been
taken in and the appropriation has been
gradually increased until last year the
high schools received $1,000 each.
"Our appropriation to aid public
school libraries is also highly COM
mended by those interested in educa-
tional work and our state is regarded
as one of the farthest advanced in the
promotion of educational interests. I
received a great many compliments for

APPORT|ONM[NT
According to State superln.
tendent's Figures Ramsey
County to Get $50, 7SO.25.

j. w. Olsen, state superintendent of
public instruction, ANNOUNCED yester-
day the March apportionment of the
current school fund.
The total amount in the fund to be
divided at this time was $511, 669.75,
and as the aggregate number of pupils
that had fulfilled the requirements for
participation was 352,S67, the basis of
apportionment was SLAB per capita
In the disbursement of last March,
S53, 918 pupils shared in the fund, and
the basis of apportionment was $1.30.
The basis Of apportionment in the set
Element of last October was $3.50; but
the fund was larger at that time than
in March,
1t is required by law that every pu-
pill to be enumerated to the credit of a
county for the purpose of participa !,
ton in this fund must have attended
school forty days Of the preceding
term.
In the present division of the fund
Ramsey county is credited with a total
of 26,745 pupils and gets $38,780.25, as
compared with $25,1S2 last March.
Hennepin county receives $62, 36O15
this year, whereas the amount appor-
toned to that county last March was
$41,67S. st. Louis county's share this
year is $23,171, and last year it was
$15,OS7.

Minnesota from those met at the con-
vention.
"One subject which came in for a
great deal of discussion said Mr..
Olsen, twas consolidation of rural
schools in the sparcely settled districts.
That is vital question now all over
the country and the idea of consolida-
ton is popular. One obstacle in this
state will be the home rule plan on
which our school districts are con-
Quoted.
Every district is a unit by itself
and has it's own board of directors or
supervisors. Consolidation here will
mean that in each instance one school
district must lose its entity and be
merged into another. That is objec-
tionable to the district that is to be
absorbed. In some of the states, each
township. is separate as in Iowa and
Indiana, and in other states there is
but one board for an entire county.
Under those circumstances it is not
hard to discontinue one school and
care for it's pupils at another schol.
I'm this state there have only been
three schools consolidated with others,
but under the law of last winter pro-
viding for such action there have been
about "a dozen districts in which the
schools have been, for the present,
discontinued and the pupils conveyed
at the public expense to other schools.

SCHOOL. BOARD WILL a
CHOOSE IT'S OFFICERS
Indications Are That All of Them Will
haBe ReseIeeted Today.

AT the annual session of the board
of school inspectors this afternoon the
election Of officers will occur, and there
is every reason to believe that the
present officials will all be chosen to
succeed themselves.
Inspector Holman is president; In
spector Fry, vice president; Octave
Savard, secretary;= George N. Gerlach,
superintendent of buildings, and Miss
Helen Eustace, clerk to the superin-
tendent. The officials connected with
the teaching department are not up for
election at this time.
The members of the board. say that
they have not been approached in the
interest of other candidates for the
positions and do not expect to see a
contest for any of them, with the pos
sible exception of secretary, and the
probability of this is remote. The
members of the board interviewed
were of the opinion that Secretary
Savard has earned a reelection.

PARK BOARD SESSION
ADJOURNED TO MONDAY
Protest Is Filed Against Abandonment
Of West Side Boulevard Project.

The. annual session of the park
board, scheduled for yesterday after
noon, did not occur. Commissioners
Aberle and Earl were present and an
adjournment was taken to Monday of
next week. Besides the regular bust
ness before the board the election of
officers will occur. AS there are no
contests it is considered certain that
Commissioner Wheelock will again be
chosen president, Commissioner Aberle
vice president, and Frederick Nuss
banner superintendent of parks.
B. H. Schriber, representing some Of
the property owners who will be af-
fected by the proposed boulevard on
the West side, was at the meeting
yesterday to protest against the aban-
donment of the scheme. His contention
is that the owners of the property that
must be acquired if the boulevard is
constructed, have not fixed an arbi-
trary price, and that they should be
consulted before the board makes the
recommendation to annul the proceed
ings.
Jacob Barnet, the lessee of the priv
ileges at Lake Phalen, was present to
explain his position.

The long and the. short of 1t in

Finehout's court yesterday afternoon
when L. E. Short, long in stature but
short of honesty was accused by E. G.

of defrauding him of the sum Of SIS.
Long was a passenger on an immi-
grant train on the Milwaukee railway
bound for North Dakota. He was
seated in box car in the rear Of the
train where Short, who is brakeman
on the railway, found him without a
ticket but said that he would take
Long through to North Dakota for S..
The unsuspecting Long handed over
one of his roll of fives and received In
exchange a written ticket to his desti-
nation.
On reaching the Minnesota transfer
the box car was detached from the
train and Long brusquely bundled out
by a rude car Inspector. In vain he
protested that he had paid his fare to
some vague place in North Dakota.

WONDERFUL CURE
OF SORE HANDS
By cuticura After the
Most Awful Suffering
Ever Experienced.
EIGHT DOCTORS
And Many Remedies Failed
to do a Cents Worth
Of Good.

"About Ave years ago was troubled
with sore hands, 50 sore that when I
would put them In water the pain would
very nearly set me crazy, the skin would
peel of and the flesh would get hard
and break. There would be blood how-
ing from at least fifty places on each
hand. Words could never tell the suf-
fering I endured for three years. I
tried everything that I was told to use
for fully three years, but could get no
relief. I tried at least eight different
doctors, but none Of them seemed TO do
me any good, as my hands were as bad
when I got through doctoring as when
first began. I also tried many rene-'
dies, but none Of them ever did me one
cents worth of good. I was discour-
aged and heart-sore. / would feel so
bad mornings when got up, to think
had to go to work and stand the pain
for ten hours, and often felt like Civ
ing up my position. Before ] started
to work mornings would have to
wrap every finger up separately, SO
as to try and keep them soft and then
wear gloves over the rags to keep
the grease from getting on my work,
At night I would have to wear gloves
In bed. In fact, had to wear gloves
all the time. But thanks to Cuticura,
the greatest of all great skin cures.
After doctoring for three years, and
spending much money, q SOC. box of
Cuticura Ointment ended all my suffer-
ings. It's been two years since used
any and don't know what sore hands
are now, and never lost days work
while using Cuticura Ointment"

PUTS 200 MEN AT
WORK ON STREETS
City Engineer Says More Will Be
Needed if Weather Becomes Warmer.

About 200 men were yesterday put to
work on the streets by City Engineer
Rundlett, and the work will be con-
tinued as fast as possible. If the
weather should become much warmer
he will increase the force to meet the
necessities of the occasion.
"The possibility of cleaning the
Streets he said, depends upon the
weather. If it is very warm and the
mixture Of snow, mud and ice should
melt, it would be necessary to put oil
a great number of men and clean the
streets as rapidly as possible 1t
would not pay to cut off the ice in the
present condition of the streets"
