Uno 0. Sodergren was of the same
decided opinion as Mr.. Bergstadt and
recalled some of the instances of the
graciousness of the czar. In the early
st. Petersburg, there was an attempted
assassination. The man who knocked
the pistol from the hand of the
assassin was arrested. When the facts
became known to the police he was
acquitted with great demonstrations
and the car was loudly applauded by
the press as having done a noble and
humane thing. The present situation
is characterized by Mr.. Sodergren as
belonging to the same class of mercy.
The sum of $1,5O0,000, which has been
set apart from the state fund for the
benefit Of the landless people of
Finland was declared to be in reality
an empty gift.

of Finland, where it is supposed to be
deposited for other purposes, and 1t
simply means that it will be recov-
cred thru additional taxation of the
very people whom it is supposed to
benefit. How much better 1t would
be if the car allowed the national
assembly of Finland to determine
where the money could be best used. y

FIREMAN., TAXES POISON
CAPTAIN PETERSON OF TRUCK
NO. 5, DESPERATE OVER SPEC
ULATIVE LOSSES, ENDS HIS
LIFE

Driven to the verge of insanity by
recent losses in poolrooms and in
wheat speculations. Captain Frank A.
Peterson of Truck No. 5 of the fire de-
partment took his own life by drink
ing carbolic acid in the hay loft of
Engine house No. 8, Saturday after
noon. His lifeless body was found in
the evening when the men went to
feed the horses. Grasped in one
hand was note to his wife saying
that speculation had ruined his life.
Captain Peterson's death was a
shock to the entire department and
the neighborhood in which he lived,
altho it was generally known that he
had suffered large losses in specula-
tons in the last few weeks. He spoke
Of these losses to his fellow dremen.
but never intimated that they were
very heavy. He even expressed a
hope of being able to get on the right
side Of the market and making them
up.
He was equally as unlucky in pool
rooms.
His family life was unclouded and
this fact leaves no doubt in the minds
of his friends that he had taken his
losses much harder than they had
thought He gave no one hint OF
his intentions but simply retired to the
loft, wrote the last message to his
family and friends and took the
poison.
He is survived by a widow and three
small children and his mother. His
home was at 1925 First avenue S.

at all, but require it as badly as any
of the others.
While Mr.. Dutton has made no
careful estimate, he thinks that HI
awatha avenue, which is to become
the principal driveway to Fort Shell
ing, can be graveled for about $6,50O.
It will cost about, $500 to make a

cost $1,000. The work is needed, as
this is the main approach to the new
bridge across the river. On Nine
teenth avenue N an additional $4,000
is necessary.
Either Western avenue or Sixth
avenue N ought to be macadamized
from the end of the paving to the city
limits. The expense for improving
Sixth avenue in this manner would be
about $4,000. There are several
other streets of the same class which
require attention coming within the
plans Of the good roads promoters,
and $4,000 would be none too much
for the work.

COULDN'T DO THE SUMS
More Than Half of the Woud-Be
Teachers Fail in the Exam.

Out Of 6,4S7 who took the state
teachers examinations, 3,149 received
certificates, while 1888 failed. The
per cent is the same as last year, 48
per cent getting certificates and 81
per cent failing.
Reports to the state superintendent
show that there were 843 applicants
for first grade certificates, 3,0S9 for
second, 2.445 for limited, and 10 re-
newals. There were 1923 first grade
and 31,267 second grade papers re-
ceived. Certificates were issued as fol-
lows: complete firsts, 1922; complete
seconds, 1856; conditional irsts, 204;
conditional seconds 64S; limited Sec
onds, $40.
The percentage Of papers getting
passing marks in the different subjects
was as follows: Arithmetic, As;
composition, 90; geography, 70; gram
mar, go; United States history, So;
penmanship, 10; physiology, 6S; read
ing, 10: spelling, so; algebra, 50; civ
les. 73; geometry, 90; physics, II;
physical geography. 95; general his
tory, 90; drawing, 81 and music, 80.
From this it appears that arithmetic
was responsible for the most failures,
while spelling and grammar were also
serious stumbling blocks.

EXPECTED DEATHS CALL

THE PLAGUE OF MOSQUITOES.

For who hath despised the day OF
small things?' asked the prophet
zechariah. If he were living he might
cry. Sometimes a physically small OBJ
ject may cause a great deal of dis
comfort and annoyance. When the
Lord sent the various plaques on the
Egyptians He did 1t to punish them for
their cruelty and injustice to the He
brews Shall we charge that the good
Lord is furnishing the people of Mont
gomery by sending a swarm OF mos
quitoes to vex them?
Let us not accuse the Supreme b.
ing when the fault lies elsewhere. I.
is no longer theory that mosquitoes
can be destroyed and prevented just
as surely as the farmer can destroy the
grass and weeds that would otherwise
ruin his crops, The right kind of ex-
ertion at the right time will prove eff
fective in each case. Wherever there
is a pond or pool OF stagnant water
during the hot season, there a mosquito
crop will be incubated and matured
That is one of the assured facts. A
little kerosene or other form of coal
oil poured on the stagnant water will
prevent the evolution of the germs in
to perfect mosquitoes. That is another
fact which has been thoroughly estab-
lished.
These facts being admitted, as they
must be, then we must inevitably ad.
NIT that when there is a pest of mos
quitoes the fault lies with those who
fail to destroy the embryo insects, and
the responsibility should not be shift
ed or diverted. Just now Montgomery
is suffering from a mosquito visitation.
and there is no excuse for 1t. They
have incubated and sprung up from
the standing pools. lakes and ponds in
and about Montgomery. Now the PEG.
pie are suffering without power to help
themselves, and the blame lies on the
city authorities. A little and timely
effort and the expenditure of a few
hundred dollars would have prevented
this visitation. Ignorance of the prop
er means of presentation cannot be
pleaded Science and experiments sue
cessfully conducted have made the way
so plain that no one could fan to see
1t. Our authorities cannot plead ignor-
ance. They cannot plead that they did
not know what to do or that they, did
