Mr.. Greene is an enthusiastic anti

no doubt but that ages ago these repre-

locked together in life and death com

near to the top of bank of loose eartl
which caved with them, carrying then
down into the morass beneath, together
with a mass of earth and rock under

The body of the man was naked, eX

inclosed within the coil, pressed firmly

WAS A PIONEER EDUCATOR:
Sanford Niles, a Well Known Author
of School Text Books.

from Mondays daily.
Sanford Niles, who died July s, was
pioneer educator and able author Mr..
Tiles was born in Windsor Conn, Sept.
3, 1927 About seven years later his
parents moved west and settled on
farm in La Porte county, Indiana and
he boy grew to manhood amid the en-
gironments of country life.
After leaving common schools he
completed the course at the academy of
Ia Porte, and in the quiet of his own
home studied deep into still more adj
vanced subjects, and before the year of
his majority was engaged in teaching in
the common schools of his county.
After his marriage with Miss Charity
Adams he moved to Salem, Olmsted
county, Minnesota, where he engaged in
teaching. Death soon claimed his young
wife, and he returned to Indiana. In
1859 he married Miss Priscilla M. John
son at Rensselaer,, Ind, and returned to
Minnesota OF the four children born
10 them only two are living, Mabel
Niles Alton Mrs. George B. Atom of
Minneapolis, and Oliver j. Niles of
Stacyville, Iowa.
Mr.. Niles early purchased farming
ands in Olmsted county, and superin-
tended their cultivation, but his great
est interest was in educational matters.
He was naturally a student and lead
er in educational circles, and was early
appointed district examiner of teachers,
which office he held in Olmsted county
while he was yet young teacher. In
the fall of 1865, while aiding in the
threshing on his farm, messenger ar
rived at the wheat stacks and suggested
that Mr.. Niles change his farmer clothes
for the garb of superintendent of pub
lie schools of Olmsted county. The Of
flee of county superintendent had just
been created in the state. Mr.. Niles
was the first appointee for Olmsted
county. He was his own successor for

eleven successive terms. In less than
one month after his appointment he or
gained, Nov. -, 1865, the first county
teachers institute ever held in the coun-
ty, and few years later organized pro
tracted Institutes, or teachers training
schools, the first ever held in the state.
These Institutes were temporary nor
NAL schools, brought to the doors of
teachers. They have developed into the
present state summer schools.
For fifteen years Mr.. Niles was a
member OF the state normal school
beard, and by his intelligent counsels
and earnest advocacy of normal school
interests greatly aided the upbuilding
and development of these important fac
tors in the state system of education.
At the close of his superintendency of
the Olmstead county schools, he, togther
with his refined and talented wife, and
Horace Witherstine, organized the Roch-
ester English and classical school, which
he, as president, conducted with marked
success, until 1882, when he sold his in
terest and purchased School Education.

at Minneapolis. This he continued to
edit and publish until 1898, when a
broader literary field having opened to
him he sold the Journal and devoted his
time mainly to writing. He was the au-
thor of Niles series of Biographies.

ty, besides innumerable articles and lee

Mr. Niles greatest interest was al
ways with the common schools and the
common school teachers. In his zeal for
the common schools he lectured and gave
instruction in teachers institutes and
training schools in all parts of Mime
sofa and Iowa and Dakota. Hundreds
of past and present teachers through
ont the state of Minnesota and else
where remember with gratitude the
kindly, intelligent aid and encourage

in their work as young teachers in the

ARE WE IN THE SAME BOAT?
Decision Of Kansas Court May Have
Effect in Minnesota.

Effect in Minnesota.
From Fridays Daily.
Kansas had one of its periodical
spasms last winter This time it was
OIL Explorers had found petroleum UNI
der Kansan, ground and had exploited
it, They cultivated a boom, created
companies, fioated stocks and bored Wig
orously. Oil flowed. But to no open
market. Crude oil is useless until re-
fined and the Standard Oil was the sole
refner, hidden behind a Kansas but sub
sldiary company. 1t made prices for
crude oil that the producers denounced
as robbery. The matter got into the
legislature and that body passed a law
appropriating 100000 with which to
build a refinery at the states peniten-
tiary. Someone, instigated, no doubt,
by the actopus, brought suit to enioin
the expenditure and the supreme court
of that state has just held the act un-
constitutional. Gov. Hoch is very much
disappointed and says that if he were
the supreme court he would have
strained point to uphold the law.
Aside from the interest this decision
has in its bearings upon the growing
movement of states to engage in indus
tries heretofore regarded as belonging
to private enterprise, it has an interest
Tor Minnesota because of the grounds
on which that court rested it's decision.
Inc constitution of Kansas forbids the
state engaging in works of internal i'm
provement, and refining oil, the court
holds, is such work In section five of
article nine, of our constitution is to be
found this like provision: 'sThe state
shall never contract any debts for car
ry on works of internal improvement
or be party to carrying on such
works" except in certain cases not per-
tinent to this question. Stated precisely
the provision prohibits the state from
carrying on works of internal improve
ment."
If our supreme court should interpret
the words 'internal improvement" as
the supreme court of Kansas has, the
state will have to 90 out of the bust
ness of making Irvine, and will not 90
into the business of making farm ma
chinery, as was proposed in the latest
session of the legislature. And it will
have to abandon its policy of draining
swamp lands, for, though these lands
were granted for internal Improvement
purposes by congress, and thus fall with
in the exception made in the section
quoted, the limitation there applies, and
the state can only use ''the avails of
such grants or pledge the revenues de-
rived from such works in aid of their
completion"
With an attorney general holding that
the mineral land lease law is lmconstitu-
tional, Notwithstanding its long usage
and the complications likely to ensue
from the cancellation of the leases, it is
possible perhaps probable that he may
hold these other laws that commit the
state to ''works of internal improve
ment'' invalid, and put it up to the SUI
preme court to pass upon his construc-
ton of the constitution and these indus
trial acts.-St. Paul Dispatch

SCARED OFF THE THUGS.
Bert RI. BurriI and Friend Were In
tended Victims.


Bert II. Burrill of North Man
,zato, together with a friend
by the name of Stewart, was
driving home OIL the St Peter
raod from st. Peter, last Saturday
night, not far from twelve o'clock,
having attended the Gentry show in that
city, and were about three miles from
Mankato, when three tough looking
characters approached the carriage with
the evident intention of robbery Fortu-
nately, however, the men in the buggy
were able to draw their revolvers, and
frightened off the thugs with little diff
ficulty. The horse became scared and
started of at a quick trot and soon
left the trio far behind, and not one
penny richer for their nerve.
