Minnesot School Attendance In
creases Right Along.
From Saturdays Daily.

fTOHl SATURDAY DoiS'
From the rapidity with which appli-
cations of semi graded and rural schools
for state aid are reaching the office of
J. w. Olsen, state superintendent OF
public instruction, it is thought that
these schools have experienced a healthy
growth in the last year.
Figures have not yet been compiled by
he state superintendent, but it is known
hat the number of applications this
year is considerably more than the mum
Der of schools that received state aid in
1904. Many of these schools that have
filed applications may not get the aid,
through failure to comply with all the
regulations of the state superintendent,
so it is impossible to tell at this time
whether more will receive state aid this
year than in 1904.
A new class of rural schools will re-
oeive state aid this year. These are the
chools that employ second grade teach
nrs, they will receive $50 aid instead of
Sl25, the amount which schools employ
ing only first grade teachers receive.
Probably 300 or more schools of the sec
Dnd-class will receive aid this year, thus
welling the total number of rural
schools that comply with the law.
In 1904, S35 rural schools received
state aid and thp amount distrihutpd to
Zach was $l20, S. less than the amount
named in the law. This was falling
off in the number of schools from GIG
in 1908, when each school received sos
aid.
There were go semi graded schools
with 275 in 1908, and the amount paid
which qualified in 1904 as compared
was $3.50 as against $40 in 1908.

M'CLEARY Is IN TOWN.
The Second District Representative
Reaches Manakto Today.

From Mondays Daily.
Congressman j. T. McCleary and son,
Leslie, arrived in Mankato this noon
and are guests at the Saulpaugh. The
congressman is looking unusually we'll,
as result of his European trip. He
states that he will be joined by his wife
in day or two, and that they will
make their home in Mankato until con-
gress meets. He does not expect that
an extra session of congress will be
held this fall.
Regarding the object of his trip to
Europe, Congressman McCleary said
that he had gone as the agent of a COM
mission that is to report plan for a
memorial for Abraham Lincoln. He has
made many observations and will rec
ommend that the memorial be made of
number of features combined, thus
making a structure such as there is
not the like of in the world, yet hand
some and elegant. just what he will
recommend he is not willing to give
out in advance of his making his re-
port to the commission.
While travelling through Europe and
making notations for the benefit of the
commission he and his son. Leslie, also
took note of the front of buildings with
the idea of working the prettiest design
into the front of the building which he
intends to erect upon the lots which he
recently purchased. 1t is so late now
that he will probably not build this fall,
but he has a general idea of what kind
of design he wants.
Referring to the Front street pave
ment he said that it was fine piece of
work and adds wonderfully to the
street and to the city as well. Many
titles much smaller than Mankato have
fine pavements, and he had always re-
yretted that Mankato did not have
more pavements.
Referring to politics, the congressman
said that while in the twin cities he
had learned that sentiment regarding a
republican candidate for governor has
not yet crystalized. Many names have
been mentioned, including that of State
Treasurer Block. As for the second
congressional district, he had heard of
General Bakers name being mentioned
as possible candidate in opposition to
him. but he did not care to make any
observations. He said that under the
present primary system any person can
became a candidate by taking an oath
md putting up the price.
A good many people stopped to shake
hands with the congressman, and he
made slow progress up the street.

THIS PRESSES THE LIMIT.
Wounded Human Heart to Give Way
to Monkeys Pump.

Chicago, Sept ll.-Experiments upon
he vital organs have been conducted at
he University of Chicago by Doctors
Carroll and Guthrie which, it is thought,
nay lead to knowledge permitting the
rafting of the heart of one animal
lpon another. The doctors have sue
essfuly moved the hearts of dogs up
INTO their necks, where they have CON
inued to perform their functions per
tectly.
They have also been able to reverse
he circulation of blood in the animals

lnimal.
DR.. Carroll will begin new expert
ments early in October. He declared
hat many startling things have been

Among the experiments performed in
his laboratory, DR.. Carroll has switch

some of the arteries, thus leaving them

DiIities for new methods of surgery in

V bald in places. His circulation was
switched to cure goitre, with success,
nd DR.. Carroll declares hair began to

we're permanently bald.
Another experiment which was per-
ormed was the saving off of dogs
'eg and then grating it on again, which
vas accomplished without permanent
injury to the dog.
DR.. Carroll, who was formerly a ply
ician in the French army, is at the
University only to conduct his expert
uents. He says that he expects others
o carry on this work until it results
n great benefit to mankind. He says
hat his expericents are but the bare
beginnings.
One of the doctors experiments was

NEW RUMOR AT new ULM.
Frank Boehnke Says Gerhard Was
Killed by Thieves.

Frank H. Boehnke of New Ulm, wit
ness in. the sensational DR.. George R.
Koch murder trial. and the man who
kicked in the door of DIR. Gebhard's of
flee on the night of the murder just as
the murderer, his tragedy completed,
was leaving the scene of the murder by
a rear window. stated last evening at
the Nicollet hotel that rumor which
was so prevalent that it would prob
ably be investigated by the authori-
ties was to the effect that the murder
of Dr. Gerhard was committed for mon
ey only.
According to this rumor, so Mr..
Boehnke says, there were two impli-
Gated in the murder and the motive
was purely one of robbery. The sus-
pected persons are residents of New
Ulm but their names are of course with
held
'The rumor is very prevalent in New
Ulm and vicinity" says Mr.. Boehnke.
"The names of certain persons are con-
nected with it and the motive ascribed
to the crime is robbery and that only.
In many respects the theory seems very
reasonable and explains some things
that have never been explained in a
manner compatible with the other
theories. Minneapolis Times.

WILL FIGHT CONSUMPTION.
Disease Too Prevalent Among Schoo
Teachers Of State.

Teachers Of State.
From Saturdays Daily.
Plans for the suppression of tuber-
culoss among teachers in the Mime
sofa public schools are under considera-
ton by the state board of health.
Information has reached the board
that some of the teachers in the state
have tuberculosis in mild form and that
the school authorities have taken no
action to prevent these teachers from
teaching. The percentage of teachers
having the disease is very small, and
few have it in virulent form, but
the members of the state board of
health nevertheless deem it wise to
take precautions at this time lest the
disease may spread and large numbers
of pupils become affected.
The question was on the program for
discussion at the meeting of the board
few days ago, but was postposed on
account of other matters on which the
board was required to take immediate
action. 1t is probable that the ques-
ton will be discussed in all its phases
at the next melting, and that plan
of action on the part of the board and
the school authorities may be outlin-
ed.
Should the situation demand deter
mined and immediate action, it is prob
able that the state board of health will
co operate with the state superintend-
ent of public instruction and the coun-
ty superintendent throughout the state.
The school authorities have invariably
been willing to cooperate with the
state board of health in measures affect
inc the health of teachers and pupils,
and it is thought that they will dis
play the same spirit in this instance
should the board decide to act.
"This is very important matter and
deserves the careful consideration of the
health authorities of the state" said
state official yesterday. at is need
less to point out the danger to public
health resulting from the employment
of teachers who have tuberculosis, even
in the mildest form. Men and women
who have this disease should not be re-
quired to teach. 1t is bad for the
teachers and bad for the pupils.

the district in Hennepin county, Glen
