BUSINESS EDUCATION

one to transact his business for
him.
The municipal affairs of many
cities are In bad condition, while
county affairs to a great extent are
worse. The reason for this Is to be
found In our public schools. 1t Is
surely time that our school direc
tors, both In town and county, make
a radical new departure, and place
on the curriculum of every school,
above the lowest primary grades,
no matter how humble, a course In
what may be called business educa'
ton. It will be of more benefit to
the average pupil than a whole
lot of more pretentious stuff now
drilled into the young mind under
the mistaken idea that 1t Is "educa-
tion."

The matter of business educa-
ton should engage the attention of
all young people. The fact that a
young man intends to be farmer
Is no reason for his concluding that
he does not need knowledge OF
what are commonly designated the
commercial branches. A knowledge
of book. keeping will enable him 10
determine at the close of the year
how successful his years labor has
been, and what branch of farming
industry has brought him best re-
tu,us. He must expect 10 make
contrrcts and engage In the ordi-
nary transactions incident to every
PERSONS life, hence he should have
a knowledge of commercial law, If
he docs not intend to employ some

Naturally the warm weather OF
the past three daye and the almost
continuous rain of yesterday, last
night and today has created the In
evitable apprehension of food IN
the upper Ohio valley.
The stage of water at the Wheel
ing wharf at 8 o'clock this morning
was 9 feet 1oH inches, q rise OF
four and one half inches during the
day. The morning reports from
Pittsburg only showed stage OF 2
feet nine inches, but at Beaver dam
there was 10 feet S inches and ris
ing, a rise of FIVE feet from the
previous day, but the report added
that most OF this increase was from
back water. The Allegheny and
Monongahela were both reported
rising yesterday, but to only a mod
crate extent.
Wharfmaster JEFF Frame, Of
Wheeling, states he does not an
ticipate food from present indt'
cations, bat he did think there
would possibly be enough water to
move the Ice out of the river In the
next thirty six hours. He added
that the rain at points above ap-
peared to be general, and from all
Indications and information he had
received 1t promised to continue to
rain during the night. He ex-
pressed no alarm at the outlook
however, except as to what damage
might be caused by the moving o
II e Ice.

craft and other property along the
water front In the Phtsburg dis
trlcts are threatened by food and
a general breakup of the Ice 10 the
Monongahela and Allegheny rivers
Rivermen are alarmed at the situ
alton. The transportation officials
of the companies, owning steam
boats In Pittsburg, although none
of them last night could be induced
to predict dangerous water, never
theless issued orders to the captains
and crews of their boats to get up
steam and be prepared. Many OF
these officials remained In their of
fees until late In the evening, anx-
iously awaiting news from the
headwaters of the rivers These
reports showed rains at every
point, especially up the Allegheny
river.
Precautions were taken this at
ternoon by Capt Will Bedilion for
the s, .ty of his wharf boat. Lines
were changed and tighteutd and
everything made secure as possible
tor the safety of The boat 10 case
these should be a sudden rise here.
When we went to press this after
noon the river was rising slowly
here.
Reports from the country dis
tricts In the interior of the county,
state that the rain Is general. Word
was received from Middlebourne
late this afternoon to the effect that
vicinity were full Of water, that 1t
was still raining AID Middle Island
creek was rising. In all probabti-
lity the stream will run out tonight.

lev Streets Cause
Many Falls

It was no trouble to fall down
Yesterday and today, and many
man, wcm an and child went to the
Ice covered sidewalks or the slush
covered streets where many pre-
ferred to walk, aud quite a lot OF
these uufortunates took the full
count. As far as CO uld be ascer
t aimed this afternoon no one sus
tanned broken bones, but bruises
and scratches and those frightful
jars resulting from people In the
act of falling trying to save them
selves from the inevitable were
quite common.
Wells and Diamond streets, In
the business portion Of the city,
were favorite localities for people
to cut acrobatic feats, but no por
tion OF the city was exempt from
these minor causalities. and the
residents on the South and North
Sides as we'll as In the central por-
tion of the city had their full
quota.
As a young lady was hu,ryiug to
the depot this morning 10
catch the 8:55 eastbound train,
she lost her footing on Charles
street just opposite John Stealey's
livery barn, and with little shrek
sat down In a puddle of water and
half melted snow. As result her
gown and jacket were badly soiled.
4 little later two gentlemen came
down Brown Betty street and near
the corner of Charles street, exact.
ly the same mishap occurred to
them as the one that befell the
young lady above referred to. One
young man went to the sidewalk
and his companion followed In the
usual effort to lend assistance.
School children were also frequent
victims today of falls In all parts of
the city.
If property owners or tenants
would take little precaution to
strew sawdust, ashes or something
of that nature on the Ice covered
sidewalks on a morning or day like
that of yesterday and today, there
would be a material decrease In
the consumption of arnica and
witch hazel, and many "cuss
words" would be saved.

1t Is to be hoped that the effort
of the good people of Connellsville,
Pa. to prevent Mrs. Sofel from
displaying herself In that place will
be successful. She has acquired
some notoriety by her debauchery
and the only reason for her ap.
pearance on the stage Is the hope
that the people will turn ont In
sufficient numbers to make her
previous crime a paying invest
ment. It Is not only an Insult to
the community to bill such an at
traction" bat 1t Is equally insult
Ing to the people that make the
stage the scene for q legitimate
profession.

The story that Columbia has an

that she Is anxious to Gght has
some probability back of 1t, when
