Brooks Modifies e4o
Acre Homestead Bill

Denver Republican: Represen-
tative Brooks today re-introduced
his 64O-acre homestead bill with
three slight changes, one making
the period Of inspection one year,
another carrying the boundaries
affected by his bill east of Bould-
er, Denver, Colorado Springs,
and Pueblo. The third amend
ment eliminates from the opera
tions of this bill any land that
can be profitably farmed by any
known methods in tracts OF l6O
acres or less. This last amend
ment was made to meet opposl-
ton raised by advocates OF the
Campbell method Of dry farming.
Mr.. Brooks also introduced
bill to authorize coming of nick
les and pennies at the Denver,
New Orleans and San Francisco
mints. These subsidiary coins
are now produced only at Phlla-
8elphia.

Ex-Supt. Anna Watson will probably
teach this winter.
Miss Gertrude Johnston is business
college graduate and teaches muscular
movement in penmanship in her school
using the plain business forms.
+ For her advanced pupils, exercises
given in the Western Penman, Jour-
nal devoted to good penmanship, are
used. Rapidity cannot be attained
without the muscular movement, and
in business colleges, none but the mus
eular, plain, compact slant movement
is taught. This is busy world and
the average man has no time for
"slinging ink" In business, it is in
tolerable. We believe that in our pub
lie schools, we cannot successfully teach
ornamental penmanship, and very little
shading. A plain, compact business
penmanship can be taught in our schools
and we believe it should be adopted by
our teachers. And we are glad that
most of our teachers are teaching the
muscular movement, setting aside the
copy book, and devoting most Of the
time to exercises which develop free
and easy, but rapid and eligible per-
manship. A child leaving our schools,
or advancing to higher work, will thus
be up-to-date, and better fitted for any
business, and should he do special work
in any business college, he will not have
to undo, but continue in the style in
which he has already been started. 1t
is hardly necessary for US to mention
to cur teachers that the later ferns.
and especially the business forms or
styles of writing, are quite different
from what they were few years ago.
The copies which we used to write in
school and the way some teachers allow
their pupils to write them, are nothing
more than free.hand drawing. We
hope it will not be said that it is new
tangled and, in fact it is not new, at
all, but we fear that due attention is
not given to the matter in all our
schools.
Let US hear from teachers.

spend the night at her home instead Of
at a hotel. The young men had q room
adjoining that occupied by Mr.. and Mrs.
MacCauley, and MFR. MacCauley on
awakening at 8 o'clock yesterday was
much oppressed by the presence Of gas
in his room His investigation led TO

HURLED AT TRAIN.
Heavy Iron Plumb Bob Crashed Through
Window Of Presidents Train.


Philadelphia, Dec Am unknown
person hurled heavy iron plumb bob
through q window of car of President
Rooseyelt's special train Saturday night
on the run from Princeton to Washing
ton. The missile, which was thrown
with terrific force, crashed through the
Gothic stained-glas transom of vim
dow of the combination car Salvius and
fell at the feet of Major Webb Hayes,
a son Of the late President Hayes, who
was guest of the president on the trip
to the army and navy foot ball game.
Fragments Of broken glass fell on Major
HAYES. who was sitting with his back
to the window reading, but fortunately
did not injure him in any way. Major
Hayes calmly stopped and picked up
the iron missile which so narrowly had
missed his head, and then rose and ex-
amined the broken window. The frame
Of the window was broken where the
plumb bob had struck, so great was the
force with which it had been hurled.
The president knew nothing of the
incident for some time after it oc-
CURED. He made no comment upon it,
passing It off as the wanton act Of
some irresponsible person. AS meas
ure of precaution the curtains at the
windows of several of the cars were
drawn down after the news of the in
cident spread among the passengers on
the train. The secret service officers who
accompanied the president took charge
Of the missile and an effort viii be
made through the secret service bureau,
to apprehend the person who threw it.

Burlington, Dec. 4.--Mrs. Honora
White died suddenly yesterday morn
ing from heart disease at the home of
her sister, Mrs. Thomas Madden, at
AIS st. Paul street. Mrs. White the
evening before partook heartily Of her
supper and upon retiring was apparently
as well as ever. Yesterday morning she
complained OF illness and died suddenly
at about 9:30 o'clock.
Her relatives in this city claim that
since an accident which she suffered on
the electric cars a year ago last August
she had not been 50 well physically as
she had been before the accident. At
the time OF the accident Mrs. White was
riding on the forward seat Of VII
noosld- Queen City Park car AS the
ear reached the corner of Adams and
South Union street, a live wire broke,
and it is claimed that Mrs. White re-
eeiyed from it injuries 10 her shoulder,
elbow and back, besides being so thor
oughly shocked with electricity that she
could not get off the car. The relatives
alIege that this accident impaired her
health and might have hastened her
death.

LIEUTENANT REDUCED.
Fort Ethan Allen Officer Put Back
Twenty Files.

New York, Dec. 4. Second Lieut.. Ar
thur J. Lynch, 18th cavalry, on duty
at Fort Ethan Allen, VT, who was tried
at Governors island on November IT,
on charges of duplication of his pay ac-
counts, it being alleged that he turned
lis September pay accounts over to one
John Silverman of this city and that
this action was q fraud against the
United States government and that he
obtained $75 as loan on these pay ao-
counts at the Howard National bank in
Burlington, VT, and later turned over
bis November pay accounts, without
authority, to this same bank for the
sum Of sl37.50, has been sentenced by
The court to be reduced in grade 20 files
on the list of second lieutenants. The
reviewing authority in commenting on
the case Of the officer severely criticises
the general court martial for its over
sight in not thinking the officers case
more a criminal proceeding, and in Civ
ing him such light sentence. Lieuten.
ant Lynch, however, has been released
from arrest and ordered to his station
at Fort Ethan Allen, VT, for duty.

More Land Frauds Being Dug Up in
Oregon.

Salem, Ore. Dec. 4.-~Far more seri-
Gus than any previous Developments Of
the many land frauds perpetuated in
Oregon, are charges made in a letter to
Governor George b. Chamberlain by
State Land Agent Oswald West, who
asserts that by means of forged certi-
iicatets of sale of school lands eastern
bankers have been swindled out Of large
sums Of money.
Not content, the land agent asserts,
with having defrauded Oregon OF 500, 900
acres of school land, nearly all the state
possessed, means Of dummy enfrymen
land operators prepared printed eertif-
Gates OF sale and assignments and insert
ed in them descriptions Of school lands
for which certificates had previously been
issued, and BY forgeries OF signatures and
the great seal OF the state of Oregon,
said the lands time and time again to
innocent persons in the East. Mr. West
says.
Il have discovered q large number ef
/ these forged certificates in the hands OF
eastern bankers and the magnitude oi
| the frauds will not be known until the
subject is given publicity and the east
eun holders have sent In their certificates
for examination. 1t ia possible that fol
every genuine certificate outstanding
there may be from two to dozen fraud
ulent ones.
/ Mr.. West concludes by saying that the
forged certificates are so well executed
that it is difficult to distinguish then
from the originals.

No reporters are to be allowed on the
prison grounds or within the building
during the coming week until after the
execution takes place. This rule was
