JOSEPH RA0IsEY's STATISTICS.
Railway Presidents Views ON Railway
Rate Regulation.

Joseph Ramsey, jr., president of the
Wabash system, has undertaken to
prove that the allegation of the adj

railroad rates that the railroads
through the present system of rate
making have throttled commerce or
even tended to do so, is not borne out
by the facts. In doing so he has
quoted the following figures:

that this commodious structure will be
filled to the extent of It's capacity.

There is no case of Indigestion, Dys-

strain off the stomach by digesting
what you eat and allowing it to rest

Dyspepsia Cure affords quick and per-

stomach troubles, builds up the sys-
tenn and sc purifies that disease can
not attack and gain a foothold as when

Public School Notes.

Nearly al county boards of educ.tioA
have selected books for the schools
under their respective jurisdictions and
have, in the main, done we'll.
Perhaps not more than one-third Of
the books have been changed and they
have been those that needed changing
most.
As a result Of changes in textbooks
recently made by the county boards of
education, it is expected that there
will be great improvement in the
teaching of grammar and history in
the schools. The people will also
welcome the natural slant in penman-
ship as a substitute for the vertical.
State supt. C~arrlugton is distributing
to the counties copies of the school
laws passed by the recent legislature.
He is also sending out "Synopsis of
the Compulsory Attendance Law" to
be posted in each district ten days
before school opens. District clerks
may expect the county school COM
missioner to supply them with these
required notices.
The State Library Board recently at
a meeting in Kansas City, revised the
list Of library books, from which school
districts must select their books.
Every rural school district, under the
requirements of the law, should spend
each year from five to twenty dollars
for library and supplementary books.
This district can not . make a better
investment, The State Superintendent
has supplied county superintendent
and commissioners with copies OF the
revised list.
Six years age, the Stats Course CT

suit the adopted books. A change In
books made 1t necessary to revise it.
This has been done by The State
Superintendent assisted by many OF
the best teachers of the State. 1t is

suggestions. 1t is not based on Eny

successfully with any good texts. Ii
is sent to every county commissioner
in sufficient quantities to supply every
teacher and every district clerk with q
copy.
Attorney General Hadley has given
two opinions on the text book situation.
In his opinion to supt. Darlington be
says that county boards of education
have right to select textbooks for the
schools under their respective
jurisdictions. In an opinion to the
Prosecuting Attorney of Wright
County, he says. that county boards
have no authority OF law to enter into
contracts, etc. These opinions are moi
inconsistent 10 the least. County
boards of education should select books
and arrange with publis- ers and
dealers that they be 90 sale at lowest
prices. For the sake of economy and
uniformity, school boards and teachers
should use IN their schools the books
selected and recommended by the
county board.

SEVENTY THOUSAND SLAIN
FEARFUL SLAUGHTER IN BATTLE
NEAR MUkDEN.
Russians on the Run, Although Japan
csc Lost 10000 Men, While the
Russian Loss is $4,000.

General Kuropatkin, in Telegram
which arrived in st. Petersburg at
o'clock Saturday evening, said 26O,OO
Japanese had broken through the Rus
sian left wing, and that it was GU
off from the remainder of the army.
At 10 o'clock came another dispatch
from General Kuropatkin, which read
"The Japanese are marching on Muk
den. My position is extremely danger
ous."
In government circles in St. Peters
burg there is conviction that Gen
eral Kuropatkin has been fully
beaten; that part of his army has been
dispersed, and that, the railroad north
Of Mukden will probably be cut.
The battle raging at the front has
assumed enormous proportions. Al.
ready correspondents place the Rus,
sian losses at 10000 men and those
Of the Japanese at 10000.
On Thursday, Field Marshal Oyama
shifted the weight to his left, seeking
to envelop the Russian right eight
miles southwest of Mukden. In the
hand-to-hand fighting which followed
and continued for four hours, the loss
On both sides was enormous.
But the most serious news is ne re.
port that the Japanese attacking col.
umn at Sin Min Tin, about thirty
miles west of Mukden, has divided,
part of it moving straight east, to roll
up the Russian right wing, while the
other is making forced marches north,
with the evident purpose of cutting
the Russian line of communica.
lion with Tie pass, and closing the
inc of retreat. Should the operations
prove successful, the Russian army
might be surrounded.
General Kuropatkin says that the
Russians have been compelled to
their position at Gaotu pass.
