eating Race Suicide ORciaIly.
Boston, Sept Sine race suicide
question has been Officially taken up
in Massachusetts, by Charles FELTON,
Pidgin, who is in charge Of the state
census now in progress He is going
to camp on the trail Of the man with
the small family and discover a few
things, which Mr.. Pidgin believes will
help the state. Mr.. Pidgin has an idea
that the fact that the population does
not increase is to be blamed more
upon men who refuse to wed than
upon small families. A list Of cues
tiOns has been prepared for the WOm-
en- Of the state to determine whether
OF not the same birth rate exists
among married women Of the state
as among the married women Of 9TH
er states. If the rates are quail, Mr.
Pidgin says il is evidence that mar
riages in Massachusetts, are later or
fewer than in other states. II il is
evident after the returns are all in
that the married folk Of the state are
doing their duty by the common
wealth then it will be the duty Of the
lawmakers to devise some plan where
BY the great unmarried division may
be lured or cOerced into matrimOny.

100000 CARLOADS.
Il VIII Take That Many TO Haul This
Years Crops

LearS AEOTS-
Chicago, Sept 5.-COncerning the
prosperity Of the AmericOn farmer
this year in units Of freight cars, rail-
road ststisticians have figured out
that the grain traffic for the crop this
year viii aggregate ], soc, 600 carloads
II ali this grain could be marketed
simultaneously and hauled in a single
solid train OF freight cars, the train
would be 1881 miles long. exclu-
sive Of the locomotives that would
be necessary to move it.
Dividing this huge train into small
er ones OF forty cars EACH there would
be required $500 locomotives, or 555
miles Of draft machinery. Adding
this 355 mics to the 1881 miles Of
cars, there is a total Of 12,2S6 miles.
To hold the cars ana engines it would
require nearly every foot OF four tracks
extending from New York to San
Francisco. The necessary single track
would measure half the circumfer-
ence Of the globe.
Impressive as these figures are, they
do not begin to tell the vastness of
the wealth which the American far
mer has taken from the soil in corn,
oats, wheat, barley and rye in the
year 1905. The railroad mems esti-
mate were confined TO the grain
which will be moved to market cen
tiers on the steam roads Probably
not over One-third Of the grain pro-
duced Will ever see a freight car. The
other two~thirds will be hauled to
local mills in wagons, or viii be con-
sumed by live stock on the farms. To
hold the entire corn crop alone would
call for a train and engines q, 600
miles in length, the equivalent OF six
golden zones reaching from He'll Gate
to the Golden Gate.
In this story Of agricultural treas
ure lies the reason for the unpara-
lleled preparations OF the western rail-
roads for traffic this season. If the
farmer were not already we'll supplied
with ready money and were forced TO
rush his grain to market, as he has
done in past years, it is reasonable to
suppose the railroads would be utter
ly swamped with grain traffic.
Railroad statisticians estimate the
wheat and oats crop of Minnesota
and the Dakotas at 326. OOO,AOO bush
els, OF which 40, 900 bushels will
be marketed on steam roads. They
place the total yield Of corn at 1885,
600. 600 bushels, and expect that 1885,
OOO, 900 bushels will be hauled on
freight trains greater or less distances.
Granting that these figures are cor
rect, there viii be 1880 carloads Of
wheat and oats from the three states
mentioned, or 1925 trains OF forty
cars each. The estimate for corn is
796, 900 carloads or H. 800 train loads
OF forty cars each On top Of this
there probably viii be 1900 carloads
Of fax seed to be hauled from the
northwest
ted for all kinds Of grain, there would
be a movement Of a hundred trains
Of forty cars each for every day of
the year

hood by Education.

The Sherman county high school
| and the GOOdland common schools
were opened Tuesday. To one who
has passed through the discipline OF
the public school and the college, the
yearly beginning Of the school IS one OF
the delights OF the year The clamor
Of the children and their presence
upon the streets in going to and from
the sessions, dissipates the melan-
chOly that comes when the summer
school days are gone. and the voices
Of the children are temporarily hush
ed
According to the June enumeration
Of the school children in district No
1, there were $40 persons OF school
age. OF this number it is expected
that about 500 will be in attendance
at school this year Upon the sup
position that all those Of school age
not attending, are ignorant as to their
ability To read or write, would make
the illiteracy in this district 19 per
cent Kansas. all classes and ages Of
her Inhabitants included, has a Tar
higher average Of Iiteracy than that,
and so has GOdland- In the 10 per
cent many persons under p who have
finished the high school course, and
those who are five years old, and not
yet admitted to school, are included;
so that il is safe to say that district
No. lin fact all of Sherman county
stands high in the matter Of an
educated citizenship.
The board Of education has done
ali in its power to promote educa-
tfOnal interests in the city and cOun-
ty. One more teacher than last year
has been added, Miss Della CardWeIl,
being the new assistant to Prof. Nal
lOry, principal. She has come highly
recommended by the teachers com
mittee Of the state university. and It
is hoped, will be one Of the strong
factors in instruction in the high
school.
John Reed is teacher for the eighth
grade, and nOminally principal OF
the grades below him, four in all, be-
ing taught by the following teachers:
Rose Filler, grammar grade; Sarah
Edwards, second intermediate; Ezza
Vanwinkle, first intermediate; Clara
Sapp, primary.
A number Of improvements have
been made on the high school build
ing and on the grounds, and the in
terror Of the building has been thor
Oughly scrubbed out, and the books
and rooms disinfected. And il is
in its record for education.

against prairie fires, which have been
cited in the columns Of this paper
heretofore
The recent big prairie fire that
swept a large area or country in the
east and north part OF this county
burning up 1900 bushels OF grain on
one farm, has awakened the farmers
to the performance Of the duty Of
self-preservatiOn- The more prosper
ity they enjoy, in stacks Of grain and
the heavy mat OF prairie grass, the
greater is the necessity Of protection
against fire. There is also a relation
between drOuth and the Over-running
