Success Of Indian Schools.

Washington. - The annual report
of Miss Estelle Root, superintendent
of Indian schools, indicates that man
nal training is becoming a feature OF
education among the Indians and with
entirely satisfactory results. The sup
erintendent has visited practically all
of the Indian schools during the year
and reports that more teachers are
recognizing the special characteristics
of the Indian, and consequently better
methods OF teaching prevail.
The teaching of cooking and home
laundry work now occupies a perma-
nent place in the regular course.
School gardens have increased in num-
her and extent. The beneficial results
of educational work among the Indians
are illustrated by the larger number
Of pupils who have found employment
IN various occupations requiring man.
ual skill and prediction is made in the
report that greater number OF lndi-
ans win become self.supporting each
year a the result Of manual training

BAD FIRE IN DENVER.
Large Ernest G. Cranmer Building
Nearly Destroyed.

Denver.-For nearly five hours in
the afternoon Christmas fire ragged in
the three upper floors of the Ernest IL
Cranmer building, Seventeenth and
Curtis streets. 1t was not extinguished
until damage approXimating $l5O,OOO
had been done by fire and water.
The loss on the building is estimated
at $4,000, covered by insurance.
The remainder of the loss is on
valuable law libraries and office
furniture and equipment. Eighty per
cent OF this loss is covered by insur-
ance.
Defective electric wiring caused the
fire. Narrow escapes were numerous,
hut no one was injured. The fire was
spectacular, and attracted great
crowd.
The buildings was largely occupied by
offices. and the destruction of libraries
and records, some of which cannot be
replaced, was the most serious feature
of the fire.

ADMIRAL SENTENCED.
Death Penalty for Russian Officers
Who urrendered.

st. Petersburg-The court-martial
which has been trying Rear Admiral
Nebogatoff and seventy-eight officers
of his squadron for surrendering to
the Japanese at the battle of the Sea
of Japcn, May 2S, 1905, handed in its
decisions Monday
Vice Admiral Nebogatoff, Com
mander Lichino of the coast ironclad
General Aprain, Rear Admiral Grego-
rieff of the coast defense ship Admiral
Senivian, and Lieut.. Smirnoff, who
succeeded to the command of the bat
tleship Nicolai, were sentenced TO
death, but in view of extenuating cir
cumstances and the long and other
wise blameless careers of these Off
GERS, the court will petition to En-
peror Nicholas to commute their SEN
tences to ten years Imprisonment i'll
a fortress.
Four other officers are sentenced to
short terms of Imprisonment in a fort
ress, while the remainder are ac-
quilted of the charges brought against
them.
The trial of Rear Admiral Neboga-
began in St. Petersburg, December 5th.
The accused were divided into three
categories. First, Rear Admiral Nebo'
gatoff and the commanders of the bat
tleships; second, the officers who ad-
vocated the surrender; third, the OIL
GERS who did not endeavor to prevent
the surrender.
The first group of officers was tried
under the paragraph of the navy regu-
lations which provides for the punish
ment by death of any commander of a
squadron or ship who surrenders
without a fight when he could save his
crew or infiict damage upon the
enemy.
The sentences passed upon Rear Ad-
miral Nebogatoff and the three com
manders are similar to those handed
down IN the cases of the naval officers
who were condemned by court-martial
for surrendering the torpedo boat de-
stroyer Bedovi to the Japaneses.
These sentences were coupled with
similar recommendation to the en-
peror for mercy, and such intercession
generally has proved successful.

SAVING OF LIVES
GRAND WORK OF THE LIFE saw
ING SERVICE.
EIGHT HUNDRED RESCUED
Millions Of Dollars Worth Of Property
Saved-Good Work at San Fran.
cisco-Now Two Hundred and Sew
enty-Eisht Stations.

shington.-Important work was
accomplished during the past year by
the life-saving service of the govern
ment, thousands of imperiled lives and
millions of dollars worth of property
being saved through the heroism and
unremitting vigilance of the life corps.
General Superintendent Kimball
shows in his annual report
that the number of marine dis
asters was $40 in the waters of the
United States. In these forty-nine yes
sells and twenty-nine lives were lost
and S11 persons were succored at the
various stations The total value of
personal property saved was sl2,26G,-
100, while that lost was $2,775,O40. In
the disasters $500 lives were imper-
lied.
At the close of the last fiscal year
the live saving establishments com
prised 27S stations, of which 200 were
upon the Atlantic coast, sixty upon the
great lakes, sixteen upon the Pacific
coast proper and one each at the falls
of the Ohio river and Nome, Alaska.
The lifesaving creTs rendered assist
ance of more or less importance to
397 vessels in addition to those which
lookouts also warned ninety-seven
steamers and seventyseven sailing
vessels which We're running into dan
ger. the warnings undoubtedly averted
disasters which would have caused
loss of both life and property.
Particularly valuable assistance, 1t
is noted, was rendered by the life-sav-
ing crews at San Francisco during the
earthquake and conflagration last
April. in fighting the fire. transporting
supplies and sheltering the homeless.
Superintendent Kimball says that
during the year seven of the largest
sized lifeboats have been equipped
with gasoline engines. They consti-
tute a most important addition to the
life-saving equipment and materially
enlarge the radius of the effective
work of the crews.
Superintendent Kimball points out
that the great service has cost the gov
ernment only s1.S32 ,465. He urges
strongly the benefits of retirement be
given to officers and men of the service
who become disabled through injury
or disease or incapacitated by age.

FARMERS CONGRESS.
Called to Meet in Denver January
the oath


Denver-The following call has been
issued by the president of the Farm
ers' Congress of Colorado:
The second annual convention of the
Farmers Congress of Colorado is
hereby called to meet at the chamber
of commerce, in Denver, at 10 o'clock
a. m. Thursday, January cath. Farm
ers of Colorado have at the present
time a direct and vital interest in mat
ters of legislation and the manage
ment of the affairs of the state govern
ment and it's institutions. Among the
matters to be discussed by the State
Legislature, which will be in session
when this congress meets, are:
A railway commission law, state
bureau of immigration, disposition
and management of the state land
scope and purposes of the State Agri-
cultural College, amendments to the
animal quarantine laws, a pure food
law.
All these matters are of great i'm
portance to the men on the farms, and
there offers no other avenue for them
to get together to discuss except this
congress. While it is strongly recon-
mended that delegates come as the rep
resentatives of local organizations of
farmers, the membership of the con
gress is open to any farmer from any
part of Colorado.
Special rates have been made from
all over Colorado to Denver for this
week. The live stock show will be in
progress and various other meetings
of the agricultural organizations make
this an occasion which no farmer, fruit
grower or stockman should miss.

President.

Wild Scenes at Hotel Fire,

Denver.-Roused from their slum-
bers Christmas night by an alarm of
fire, twenty young women, employees of
the Albany hotel, rushed from their
quarters. 1877 California street, near
the hotel, and fed to the street in their
night robes, to escape the flames that
were sweeping through the building.
Terrified by such an abrupt awakening
they did not stop to gather their be-
longings, most Of which perished in
the fire. All of the young women ran
into the night air barefooted and in
light attire, and until the hotel man
agement made suitable provisions they
were sheltered at the headquarters OF
the Denver Waters Club, acrosk the
street. The IRE was soon put out.

Van Wyks File Insurance Claim.

Denver.-Attorneys Isaac Pelton and
r. D. Rees, representing Wourtje Van
Wyk, filed suit Wednesday in the Dis.
trict Court against the State Life In
surance Company of Indiana for the re-
covery Of $4,000 insurance on the life
of Gerretje Hast, who died some time
between December 2Sth and 31st last
year. The reason that the suit was
filed, Attorney Rees said, before the
second trial for murder of the Van
Wyks, is because to retain any claim
upon the insurance the suit had to be
filed within year of Gerretje Haast's
death. This is provided for in the pol
lev
