illustrated the methods Of presenting
the subject to primary as well as adj

correlating it with other subjects.

tor of the primary department of the
state normal, was then introduced by
Mrs. Knight. She addressed the
teachers on primary methods, speaking
specially of arithmetic and giving the
plans used in their model school,. She
shows by her ann of presenting
the subject that she is the master of it,
and without doubt she will be a great

opened by a piano solo by Mrs. Mar

ELIMINATION OF ATROCITIES
RESULTING FROM TEAM
STEERS STRIKE IN
CHICAGO.
Edward Pickett Set Upon and Badly
Mutilated in Shocking Manner
Finger Nails Pulled Out With
Nippers, Two Fingers Broken and
He Was Left Unconscious in
Front of Union Headquarters.

Chicago, ILL.,, June 2O.-Edward Pick
EFT, express driver, was attacked by
union sympathizers today They de
Iiberately broke two of his fingers and
inflicted severe wounds on his head.
Up to a late hour he is still uncOn-
scious from the effects Of his injuries.
Most cruel and shocking was the mutt
latiOn Of his body. Not only were his
hands broken, but his finger nails were
pulled out by nippers and he was left
unconscious in the street, where the
police found him in front OF the Team
sters' union headquarters. 1t appears
to be the last stroke of violence, for
the prospects OF a speedy termination
OF the strike is bright today, the new
committee being empowered to settle
the strike without further consultation
with the strikers. The commission
vas today asked to report to the EN-
~ployers' association for a conference
to secure peace.

Nearly Three Hundred Dollars

County Clerk Dayton for bounty, re
ceiving a certificate for $27G. Mr.. New
ell says the animals were KILLED since
about the 10th OF April, Flowing the
severe storm OF that late. They
would be tracked to their dens, the old
killed and the young dug out and
killed. In two Instances they found
filters of nine coyotes in one den and
eight in two more. The animals had
become quite numerous, but the New
ell boys and others have somewhat
thinned them out, and declare that
more bounty would soon rid the coun-
try of them.
Mr.. Newell said he thought il would
be necessary in a little while for the
stockmen to club together and offer
additional bounties. He says the
sheepmen should be asked to pay one
cent a head and the cattle and horse
wners three cents a head, which,
added to the bounty offered by the
state, would make a nice bunch Of
money for the hunters of predatory
animals.
The Garrett brothers left for town
several days ago, killing as they I'M
the last addition to their list being four
coyotes at Cooper lake yesterday.
They found the of several
calves and colts and numberless
lambs as they came in, showing that
the wolves and coyotes had been hav-
ing a nice time themselves.
Mr.. Dayton says the lot presented
for bounty by Messrs. Newell broke
the record Of his office for one day
and n firm of hunters.

and Will Sell to the Independent
Companies Instead.

look upon the Standards
ment that it will buy oil Of less than
80 degrees gravity for rs cents a bar
rel, after %boycotting it for four months
and after paying over 81 for it a year
ago, as a move to retard the progress
of the independents. The producers,
after the Standard withdrew, began to
make arrangements TO market Ii pro-
duce regardless of the Standard. Vari-
Gus plans have reached a state OF de-
velopment, promising such success mat
the monopoly now thinks it ime to
step in again. 1t was stated TO-DAY
that there will be no rush by the pro-
ducers to sell. However, it is thought
the order will result in starting many
