it seems wisest to conform to i

much. Then don't censure tn

proper authorities for a subst

are. in touch with the. needs of
the common schools.
Inquiries will bemade through
out the state as to whether the
course is followed as planned, ,and
if not we shall proceed to correct
the evil ourselves.
We are inclined to think that it
is not followed since we have re.
ceived students from other cities
who did not grade up to our
standard.
The senior class is progressing
nicely in the study of the History
of English Literature.
The fifth, sixth, seventh and
eighth grades are getting the
genuine quality of instruction,
and we trurt, for the sake of the
students. no outside influences
will interfere with their progress.
In the first and second grades
there are more students than can
be managed by one teacher, So
we will secure a new teacher to
relieve the congestion.
Those who had perfect spelling
lessons in the fourth grade are
as follows Elsie Klovstad,
Mayme Milligan, Blanche Warner
Frank Sussex.
There are thirty-one pupils en-
rolled in the third and fourth
grades.

FARMERS URGED TO GROW
MORE POTATOES.

According to the IS. weather
bureau the humble and little con-
sidered potato is being given some
attention in high circles. In spite
of drought in parts of Ohio and
blight and rot in New York and
adjoining States, and southern
New England the summing up Of
reports is to the effect that there
will be a large crop. Unless it
should equal the phenomenal
crop of 1895, 297, 7,235,000 bushels
it will not be large enough to meet
the domestic demands and some
foreign potatoes will have to be
imported in spite Of the duty Of
25 cents a bushel. During the
fiscal year 1901-1902 over 7,000,-
900 bushels were i'm ported.
The United States raises all
the corn, wheat,and oats it needs
and has some for export. It
ought to be able to raise potatoes
enough to supply it's own wants.
at least, but it usually fails to do
so. Possibly it is because the
farmers do not make an effort.
They know that there is always
a foreign market for their grain
surpluses, while there never has
been a serious attempt to send
American potatoes abroad.
Although the potato is a staple
article of food and is valuable al.
so because of the starch and
spirits which can be got out of it,

CHANGING GRADES t5
 ON THE FRISCO.
Civil Engineers at Work on Line Reducing the Sharp Curves and Grades on Road Near
 West Plains, Mo.

Just why the Frisco officials contemplate expending several million dollars in changing the present roadbed is something few people understand, says the West Plains (Mo.) Gazette.
 By doing so the distance be- tween Springfield and West Plains would be shortened eight or ten miles. The grades would be lowered and trains could be run with greater safety to passengers and less damage to rolling stock.
 At the present time sixteen loads of freight is considered a good haul over the Ozark divis- lon. Cut down the grade as it is proposed to do and the ton- mage can be doubled. This re- duction would pay for the im- provements in a few years.
 Near Mountain Grove the sur- veyors encountered the greatest obstacle, known as Whetstone hill. Two surveys were made around the hill, one missing Mountain Grove a mile and the other survey passing through the town. a
 Several surveys were made in the vicinity of Cabool, one of which left the town off the line. The survey from Sterling down the divide went several miles west of Willow Springs. An other survey passed through the northern limits of the town.
 From Willow Springs south the new survey went directly through Burnham, Pomona and Olden, changing the present line but little. At Olden the new survey left the present roadbed several miles, coming to the eastward and following the line surveyed two years ago by Capt. Clark of the Rock Island. The survey eliminates the heavy grade be- tween West Plains and Olden, and strikes the present roadbed three miles north of here.

YEARS WORK. IN
 SCHOOLS CLOSED.
Term Was the Most Successful in Newport's History-Talks By Several Patrons
 Excellent Showing.

The examinations and closing \ exercises of the public schools Ehave been going on all this week, and never in the history of the 2 school have the parents and citi- Eszens generally of the city mani { fested more interest than in X these closing exercises. \ It is the universal opinion that the term just closed was the \ most successful in the history of the Newport school. Prof. Geo. 5 R. Hopkins, who is one of the most enthusiastic educators in fthe state, has certainly endeared s himself to the parents and pupils Nof Newport. W A reporter for the Independent
 visited each room and listened to < the examination of the different \ grades and never saw more thor gough work in any school. The oral examinations in Latin and ! ancient history in Prof. Hopkins ninth and tenth grades would do \ honor to any school. \ Thursday afternoon was given Mover to recitations in the differ Went rooms, and short talks by the Aboard of trustees, who spent the Nafternoon in the school. Talks Nwere also made by Mesdames D. RW. Anderson, Ike Goldman and
 M. A. Dorsey, which were lis- tened to with much interest by the children. < It would be impossible to tell which room or grade had accom- aplished the most work, so thor Tough has been the work in the aentire school, and it is the gen. Neral opinion that it would be wise If it were possible for the board sof education to retain the entire kfaculty for the next term. < The following program was rendered: Y Greeting, Charley Ross. < Quotations from Lady of the HLake," 9th and 10th grades.

IRON MOUNTAIN
 TRAINS COLLIDE.
Freight and Passenger Trains Run Together Near Leeper. Fireman Jumped But En-
 gineer Was Crushed.

Iron Mountain passenger train No. 8, which is made up at Pop lar Bluff and runs from there to St. Louis, and southbound freight No. 97, one of the heaviest through trains on the road, col lided while running at full speed near Leeper Thursday morning, says the Poplar Bluff Citizen Democrat, and Engineer Keith of the freight was killed almost instantly and five other men were injured more or less se- verely.
 The blame for the terrible ac- cident has not yet been fixed, but it is thought that misun- derstanding of orders somewhere caused the catastrophe.
 No. 8. left here this morning with Conductor Hall in charge and Engineer Ed Walters and Fireman Green in the cab. At Mill Springs Engineer Walters was struck on the. side of the head by the arm of a mail switch and was compelled to give up his place to Engineer Hull, who happened to be on the train.
 The train was running along at a good speed when it came in sight of No. 97, running in an opposite direction. The engine crew of the passenger leaped from the window of the cab and rolled down the embankment, escaping with slight bruises. The fireman of the freight jumped, and in falling sustained a broken leg, but the unfortunate engi- neer of the freight was caught in the wreck and was crushed to death.
 Both engines were demolished, and several baggage and mail cars were derailed and more or less damaged. Conductor Hall received bruises about the head and face, while Leonard Gris- wold, the newsboy on the pas senger train, received injuries in the back. No passengers were hurt, only members of the train crews being injured. The wreck age piled up the track and it was many hours before the line could be opened.
 Number 2 was Jagged just this side of the wreck, and the injured people were placed upon it and brought back to Poplar Bluff. Nos. 2, 4 and 20 were compelled to go around by way of Dexter, Thebes and Bismarck.
