An Amateur Bicycle Rider
Dashes to Eternity.
Hundreds of People Witness
"@ the Awful Accident.
Dead Man Resides at Wabasha /;
Was Unmarried.

Zumbrota, Sept. 23.-The loop of
DEATH" as it is commonly known, proved
indeed to be the loop of death at Zum,
brota, when George H. jackson, a youth
who lives at Wabasha, was hurled to
his death before he had even started up
on that thrilling feat at street carni-
val at that little Minnesota town yester-
day afternoon.
Jackson was scheduled to take the
place of the regular performer in loop
ing the loop of DEATH at the carnival,
and the crowd which gathered to wit
ness the daring event was on hand at
the appointed hour to see the dare
devil" drive his bicycle down the steep
incline and across the big gap to safety
beyond.
An apprentice who lives at Zumbrota
was appointed to hold the bicycle of the
performer until it should be started on
its deathward leap. The apprentice did
his part, but the bicycle with its rider
leaped to eternity instead of to the APP
pointed goal.
=. Hardly had the two wheeled vehicle
left the hands of the apprentice when
with a cry Jackson told that he was
not ready for the loop of DEATH"
Bounding for a moment from side to
side of the steep incline the machine
passed into space, and the rider was
hurled to the death advertised in the
loop of death" ..5 a..
All the town of Zumbrota and many
visitors from miles around were wit
nesses of the strange tragedy and con-
sterhation reigned supreme when the
witnesses became. certain that the rider
had been thrown to his death.
The starting point was thirty five
feet from the EARTH and the rider of
the bicycle had hardly passed from the
hands of the starter when the frightful
accident took place.
Each of the witnesses in the massive
congregation was open-eyed, waiting for
the end of the wonderful performance, /"
when a sad realization of the awful fate
of ,--e rider dawned upon each and ev-
erybody turned aghast.

places a stone upon her grave and takes
one away as souvenir.
Denver and Colorado Springs certain
ly did themselves proud in entertaining
the twenty third national encampment
Many business houses gave away pretty
and useful souvenirs to visitors and the
departments of Colorado and Wyoming
were indeed generous to the four hun
bred delegates present. A handsome
booklet of historic places and fine noun
tain scenery done in tints was presented
each lady. These views sell for one
dollar each. Also solid silver and gold
souvenir teaspoons male from the Chey-
enne, Wyoming mines were given each
delegate.
Next year the encampment comes to
Minneapolis. What have we to offer
our guests? Not gold and silver spoons
made from our, mines, nor mountain
scenery with which to delight the eye

tiful lakes they have ever seen and feed
them on the best bread and butter they

WILL DAM THE MINNESOTA.
Gigantic Undertaking Said to Be
Projected at St. Peter.

st. Peter, Sept. 23.-TO build a dam
across the Minnesota river which will
give st. Peter mammoth artificial lake,
enable the town to advertise itself as a
summer resort and watering place and
furnish cheap power for manufacturing
plants are the salient features of a
plan now under consideration.
Charles Fay, a local capitalist, and
part owner of the st. Peter Roller mills,
is the originator of the project and he
would form a syndicate TO carry the idea
into execution.
Last winter at the regular session of
congress, bill was passed establishing
the head of navigation on the Minnesota
river at the. city of lie Sueur. The meas
ure was intended, primarily, to permit
the erection of solid-span bridges across
the stream, but it also removes legal
impediments which might prevent the
construction of the DAM Thus the only
thing necessary would be to acquire
some 300 acres of bottom land between
here and Kasota, an outlay which Mr..
Fay estimates at $4,000.

OLSON ON STATE AID.
Circular Letter Issued BY The State
Superint ndent.


Schools throughout the state to secure
state aid must hereafter strictly live
up to the conditions of the law. So
saws J. w. Olsen, superintendent of pub
lie instruction, in a circular letter sent
out to county superintendent and Of
ficers of semi graded and rural schools.
Mr.. Olsen asserts that state aid should
not be looked upon as bonus for OPP
Grating a school, but as an actual state
aid. to be used in Improvements on what
the school could already afford; in other
words, that the schools local financial
allowance should not be decreased when
the state aid is granted.
Mr.. Olsen's letter says in part:
"Please note than all teachers in these
schools must hold state, not local GER
tifcates of the required grade for the
full school year of eight months. Linz
tied second grade certificates are not Sec
ond grade certificates within the mean
ing of the law, and do not comply with
the requirements, but conditional GER
tificates of either the first or the second
grade are sufficient
"Proper heating, ventilation, out
houses, supplementary reading, library
additions. ETC., must be provided before
Dec |, so that the pupils may reap the
benefit for practically the entire school
year; otherwise the aid cannot be grant
ed
"Those in authority should make
careful study of heating and ventilation
before installing plant. Adequate pro-
vision must be made for admitting fresh
air from without in such manner that
it can be properly heated before it is
thrown into circulation in the school
room, and also for drawing off the foul
air from near the floor. through a shaft
properly heated so as to create cur
rent for this purpose. If necessary,
some expert should be employed to do
this special work These improvements
may seem costly, but the theory of our
special aid laws is manifestly to help
districts that expend large, but needed
sums to improve their schools.
Hereafter county superintendent
will supply the data required by this
department with regard to buildings,
equipments, etc"

SOLDIERS FOR CANE FIELDS.

Mr. Swanzy, the president of the Ha-
waiian Sugar Planters Association and
bis interpreter Mr.. A. K. Ozawa have
gone to Japan by last steamer. Prob
ably they went there to bring more
laborers for Hawaii
We notice that there is nearly a
legion of the Russian War Prisoners
in Japan, that we believe would make
good laborers for the sugar fields in
Hawaii. They are not fitted for SOL
diers, but would make good working
men.
If these gentlemen could get them
for Hawaii, just half would be enough
to supply all the plantations and they
are just the right kind Of men the board
of immigration wants to have in Ha-
wait for settlers. They are one of the
white races of Europe.

they might make splendid lunas. But
