PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES

Hereafter the city schools will SEND
out monthly reports to parents o'
each child's work. 1t Is thought tha,
parents may thus be kept better in
formed as to the success of theil
children's work than under the old
plan Of quarterly reports and may
thus be able to cooperate with teach
ers more intelligently than hereto
fore.
Yesterday afternoon the senior
physics class Of the high school which
has been studying electricity during
the past month went In body to the
power house OF the strest railway
company where the electrician in
charge very courteously explained to
Its members the intricac:es Of the
magnetic field. armature, volts, aIp.
eres and other things that have sore
" puzzled them lately. The trip was
Of much interest and value and the
courtesy Of the company is much ap-
preciated by Superintendent Larkin
and the other school authorities.
Considerable class and school spirit
Is growing up in the high school this
year. The classes have organized and
are now discussing class pins, col.
ors, yells. etc.
The principal Of the Douglas ave-
nue. building, Miss Holman, has re-
Gently organized fire drill for the
children Of her building and has sue.
ceeded In getting her three hundred
children out sof the building in an
expeditions and orderly manner. The
value Of sucn drill is great. 1t
tends to avoid panic in case Of fire
which otherwise might cause much
loss of life.
The regular teachers meeung was
held last Tuesday evening III the
Douglas avenue building. Superin.
tendent Larkin explained and illus
trated the use Of hehtograph to the
teachers and showed how 1t might
be used advantageously In school
work a committee was appointed to
select book for the years profess
sional reading, and Miss Stoneroad
read very acceptably from the book
Emmy Lou. This Is proving to be
a delightful part of the meeting as
the book is one OF rare interest to the
teacher as we'll as Of great literary
merit.

BATTLE WITH A
CRAZY MAN
Constable Lavoy Has Narrow
escape-A Knife in Hands
of Man With Tremens

At o'clock this morning Constable La
and came near meeting his Waterloo.
Last evening Sheriff Lamb received Eo-
tics from Golconda to be at No. and
meet a crazy man on the arrival of the
train He answered the summons, but
met no crazy man, but instead was in
formed the fellow was coming down the
road. The Sheriff mounted a saddle
horse and went up the road, met couple
of men in buggy bringing one Macpher-
son, a man who has been employed on
the White Horse ranch for Miller & Lux.
Sheriff Lamb asked the men in charge
if they had searched him and was in
formed that they had. Macpherson was
brought to the Jail and was evidently
suffering from case of dilirum tremens
and not having a padded cell the Sherif
left him in his office until the Board of
Examiners could examine him. Shortly
after the Board met and after examin-
ing Macpherson decided that he was suf-
slightly derangeo in consequence and en-
ployed John Westrope and Jake Curry
to stay with him, and put him in the
jury room upstairs in the court house.
During the night Macpherson pulled
knife and said he would use 1t on the
| first man who undertook to detain him.
| He walked out and went directly to
Chinatown and had the Chinks jabberine
like flock of mourning doves and scat
! tering to the four points of the compass
| Constable La Voy went into the cellar
where Macpherson was lord of all he
surveyed-but he did not survey much,
| for it was very dark-to make the arrest
when Macpherson attacked the Consta-
Bile with a knife and slashed him across
the throat and inflicted three other
wounds before he was overpowered He
was not taken until the Constable had
hit him over the head with his gun and
| accidentally shot him through the feshy
part of the right arm, but when La voy
emerged from the Chink cellar he
brought Macpherson with him He is in
Jail now and locked in a steel tank
Had there been padded cell the trouble
would never have happened. The Com
missioners of Humboldt county should
provide suitable cell for locking up
crazy people. and the Board should not
let another month pass without attending
to 1t.

BUSINESS BLOCK
SWEPT AWAY
The Worst Fire in Its History
Visits the Town of
CardnerviIIe

A dispatch from Gardnerville, the larg-
est town of Douglas county, says:
One whole block on the main street of
this place is in ashes this morning. The
fiercest fire that Gardnerville has ever
known ragged last night, and it was only
through the heroic efforts of the citizens
that the whole town was not swept by
the flames. AS 1t is the loss will be about
$4,000 with insurance amounting to
about $4,000
The fire started at about o'clock in
the morning, when the streets were de-
serted. Just where it originated is not
known. although 1t is thought that a
carelessly thrown cigar or cigarette
started it. BY the time it was discov-
cred the center of the block was a mass
of flames, and every effort was made to
save the adjoining buildings. Not until
the flames had eaten their way to the
street on either end of the block, how
ever. were they put under control.
The lack of proper fire fighting facili-
ties greatly handicapped the citizens. For
some time the need of better equipment
has been agitated, but efforts to obtain
it were always without result. Now that
the town has suffered such heavy loss
something will probably be done toward
bettering the fire department. Among
the principal losses are:
Rosenboch & StodiecA, loss $1,000; in
surance $500.
A. w. FL. Helberg loss $1,000; fully in
sured
Chris Jespersen. loss $500; insurance
$500.
valhalla saloon and hall, loss s4,500; in
surance $500.
p. C. Wilder, loss $1,000; partially in
sured.
Telephone and telegraph office, loss
81, 500.
The burned district is in the heart of
the town, and all of the property owners
have signified their intention of rebuild
ing at once.

COMPLIMENTED O'KANE
Humboldt Senator Made Lucid
Statement on Bill
The Appeal says:

The Appeal says:
Yesterday in the Senate the bill came
up proposing to reduce the State land in
terest from to per cent. The measure
was originally introduced by Senator
O'Kane of Humboldt. without the reduc-
tion clause, but with the extension of
time. The Senate proposed to amend the
bill by adding a per cent clause.
Governor Sparks. Surveyor General Kel-
ly and Superintendent Ring addressed
the Senate on the measure. While Gov
ernor Sparks advocated the I'LL, Survey
or General Kelly denied that he advo-
Gated its passage and only recited the
conditions as shown.
Mr. O'Kane took the floor and by all
odds made the clearest statement regard
ing this important matter. He showed by
the report of the Surveyor General that
the reduction would mean loss of over
twenty thousand dollars to the school
fund, and also showed by the same docu-
ment that instead of the heavy land own
ers paying for their lands there had been
a very small percentage taken out in
patents His argument that after patent
ing the lands became more valuable. was
clean cut and to the point.
Senator O'Kane has evidently made
close study of the measure, which is by
far the most important so far introduced
in the legislature. The school fund has
an earnest protector in the gentleman and
his argument bore more weight and act
ual figures than anything the opposition
has so far advanced.
