Life Certificates to New Mexico Teachers

The following report OF the doin2s
of the territorial board of education
is borrowed from the New Mexican.
1t speaks very well indeed that a ma
iority of all the life certificates grant
ed in the territory come to Las Vegas:
Under the law enacted by the re-
cent legislature the board Is author
lied to grant professional certificates
to such teachers as 1t deems qualified
to receive the same, and there have
been about seyenty-five applications
for such certificates received in the
office of the secretary. The board de-
cided to issue two classes of these
professional certificates one to be
a five-year certificate, the other life
certificate but containing provision
that the holder thereof shall continue
in active service with an absence by
permit of total length of time not
to exceed three years, and that he
shall report annually to the board. A
rule was adopted by the board that
no life certificate should be issued to
any applicant who had not had at
least five years experience in active
public school work in the territory,
and that applicants not graduates
from normal school and with train
ing experience must have had at
least FIVE years of actual teaching in
order to be eligible for certificates in

Passengers Bring Story Of Flood

The delayed trains from the east,
or two of them, got in last night lit.
tie after II O'Clock One of the train
men informed The Optic that two
Santa Fe passenger trains and two or
three Burlington trains were still In
the flooded region where they had
been cut off by the Mississippi near
Fort Madison. The trains were over
whelmed by the sudden rise of water
and the passengers had narrow es-
cape. The approaches to the great
Santa Fe bridge over the Mississippi
were washed away and part of the
main structure of the Burlington
bridge was taken out.
The trains that reached the city
last night had been routed from
GalesbuTg over the Burlington to
Omaha and thence via the Burlington
to Kansas City. The trains that will
reach the city some time tonight went
the same way. Passengers who went
as far towards Fort Madison as they
could and were turned back say the

The worst rainstorm in the history
OF this county came last night. It
rained for ten hours continuously, the
precipitation being GAL inches. The
Mississippi rose three feet. The rail-
roads will be tied up for forty-eight
hours. Many county bridges were
washed away. The Burlington rail.
road suffered landslide two miles
east of here, debris covering their
track TO a depth of several feet for
nearly mile. Train No. Z, arriving
from st. Louis at 1887 a. m. is tied
up here, the food washing out two
bridges between here and Keokuk

them. Passengers northbound were

Matter Involved Affects Contest Between Arizona

Judge McFie to have the appeal op-
crate as q supersedas.
The importance OF this point arises
from the fact that the granting Of the
supercedas would serve to perpetuate
the Injunction which was vacated az.
ter the argument on the demurrer bN.
fore Judge McFie. The d. & r. G.
company would thus be compelled to
delay the construction Of their road
over the territory in dispute until a
hearing could be had on the merits
Of the case.
Judge Mills, however, decided this
morning that he had no juris liction
In the matter and the question OF al.
lowing the appeal to operate as a

alliance might be possible, but con.
sidering the fact that the British al
lance has rendered Il possible for
Japan to fight Russia for the estab.
iishment Of her position In the far
east, I consider Il out Of the question
that Japan will bind herself In such
manner a. might compel her to assist
Russia In the event that the Russian
government might later conclude to
make an attack on India. This is
more improbable inasmuch as Great
Britain is anxious not only to renew
