water, this connected with the regular
waste pipes from the house.
Gail of the furnishings are planned
for easy removal and frequent re-
newal. Curtains, both sash and full
length, are provided in double sets,
so that there need not be any awk-
ward interval of baroness during the
necessary laundering. Portieres are
banished, as they hold too much dust,
and require too much time for nee
essary cleaning, and their place is
taken by movable screens. Pictures
are few, but good, and the cluttering
up of wall space with anything that
can be roughly estimated as decorative
is decried.
Quiet, restful and satisfying colors
are recommended. Soft yellows, dull
greens and sober browns are most in
favor. with some of the less obtrusive
rose and blue tints for relief. Not
that an air of somberness or dinginess
is advocated. Not at all! But merely
that the brilliant yellows, the staring
reds, the vivid greens and peacock
blues that expressed the art of the
Victorian period are now recognized
as perversions of taste, and the in
evitable revolt against such has
achieved its result.
"A sense of space and quietude is
what is most needed in the modern
home: and this is primarily what the
up-to-date decorator sets out to Sc
cure. The size of the rooms, of
course, marks the limitation of pos
sibilities; but much can be done to
to tint
For example, take the bedroom in
the house that we have recently
furnished for millionaire young
couple. That it is that of the mistress
of the house makes the argument all
the more convincing. There is
hardwood floor, finished in a light COL
or; and with simple border in Greek
key pattern introducing darker
shade of the same wood all around.
Four medium size Pension rugs, in
softened tints of age, are to be thrown
on this floor. The walls and ceiling
are covered with glazed English
chintz that repels the dust beautifully,
the material being drawn across the
ceiling in tented fashion to the center.
whence hangs an old venetian silver
lantern. Silvered sconces at inter-
walls on the walls provide for light

1.-THE four windows have plain cur
tains of bobbinet. with the Greek key
pattern done in braid for a border,
those hanging from a valance of carv-
ed coca-bola wood. The bed is of
brass and onyx, the couch and chairs
covered with the glazed chintz, and
only just enough furniture in the
room to meet the needs of its occu-
pant. In many less wealthy families
this room would be deemed scant and
bare; but it is entirely in accord with
present commonsense dictates.

MINNESOTA HIGH SCHOOLS GROW
Attendance Report Shows an Increase
of Nine Per Cent In State.

The annual report of State High
School Inspector George B. Alton,
which is now ready for the printer,
shows the usual increase in the num-
Der of Minnesota schools, teachers, pu-
pills and expeditures.
After naming the eighteen high
schools which were admitted by the
state high school board at their last
meeting, the report says: ANY who
are inclined to suppose that high
schools are being multiplied unduly
should remember that we are laying
the educational foundations of an en-
pire. Minnesota has two-thirds the
territory and far less waste land than
the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland. The main difficulty in
the management of the high school
situation is that of persuading small
towns not to undertake the burden of
state high school too soon. The
danger is greatest in the older parts
Of the state, where the smaller towns
have little prospect of growth.
The attendance shows the usual
gain of per cent, or from 2O,215 to
22,1O6. The number of pupils for each
subject has increased proportionately
ing Greek has decreased from PA in
1905 to "a in 1906. In one year the
number studying higher algebra has
decreased from 2,O14 to 1871, and
those taking solid geometry from g.
Ola to 1,947. Commercial and indus
trial subjects show a large increase
in the number of pupils taking them.
AS to taxes and salaries, the report
says that the assessed valuation is
rising rapidly, but the tax rate is
making no decided change. Just half
the districts reported an increase in
the tax rate and half decrease.
Among the superintendent, thirty
four received less than $1,000, forty
nine less than $1,000, forty-nine less
than $1,4O0, twenty-one less than ST.
600, twenty-four less than $4,000 and
nineteen received $4,000 or more. The
lowest salary paid assistants is $3.50
and out of 800 only about twenty are
paid this minimum.

The young housewife is apt to make
a fetish of her household goods; the
older and more experienced woman is
rather more than apt to refer to such
possessions as merely household
goods. Such a difference does one lit
tie better and that cipher, too-make
in passing description!
Just now, when all of the shops are
putting thins in order, for the coming
autumn and winter trade is exactly the
time to talk with such proprietors and
buyers as will SO far condescend to en-
tighten the ignorance of the average
woman. The more prosperous of
those have spent the dull season that
is coincident with summer in foreign
lands, not forgetting to take a whirl
through such domestic sources of sup
ply as they are wont to lean upon the
season through.
The junior member of famous firm
of household decorators let fall few
passing remarks over the dinner ia
BILE recently. They were cleaned and
gathered as golden wisdom by the
scribe, for full we'll she knows that
among people of wealth this young
artists opinion on all matters of ma
terial household decoration and furn-
ishings is absolutely law.
Simplicity" remarked the artist
decorator, simplicity is merely the
expression of discriminating taste,
and nowadays even the most lately
arrived nouveau richie has swallowed
and digested that fact. The accumula-
ton of articles of bigotry and virtue"
which former generation considered
necessary to support any claim of
good taste or breeding is nowadays
considered to prove exactly the OPP
posite. The curio tables and curio
cabinets, monuments of ugliness and
miracles of gliding, have been rele-
gated to the attic. there to await
they signalized. With them, too, have
gone the multitudinous sofa pillow
and cushions, the lace bedspreads and
pillow shams, the mantelpiece drap-
cries and the voluminous portieres
which were once considered indispen-
sable in even the most plain FURNISHED
home. They have gone to keep COM
pany with the and 10 course din
ner, the plush teagowns and the faded
photographs of other and bygone days.
THE effect aimed at today is dig
nified simplicity. The home is expected
to be mirror of the taste of its
occupants. And the attainment of alb
solutely hygienic surroundings is fun
damental to it all. Nowadays the
house that has not hardwood floors
throughout is not considered worth
buying. The plumbing must be of the
exposed order, SO that any little fault
or defect in the pipes can be detected
and remedied almost instantly, and all
of that expensive cabinet work that
formerly surrounded the stationary
lavatory and bathtub is altogether
done away with. And the kitchen is
recognized as the heart of the home.
In the houses of those of comfortable
means more pains is extended on this
vital part of the equipment than ever
before. Ceiling. walls and floor are
tiled, so that the hose can be turned
on and the entire room thoroughly
cleansed in few moments. The floor
is slightly inclined towards one cor
ner. where there is run-off for the

TREMENDOUS CROP
STARTLES THE
STATE
Five Hundred Cars of Wheat
a Day Handled in Local
q. N. Yards.

The wheat is beginning to move.
Few people realize what this means,
but to the railroad men and especially
the chiefs of the divisions who have
to provide the engines to haul the
miles of cars and to provide the cars
to put the wheat in it brings up
problem which few men would care
to handle.
The assistant superintendent of the
Great Northern was asked about the
moving of the Dakota crop this year
the big bulk Of which will pass through
this city and he stated that the move
ment had already begun and that be-
tween 300 and 500 cars of wheat
day were being handled in the local
yards. This is Just the beginning of
the trouble, however, and although it
keeps the trainmen and switchmen
on the jump even at the present time
to keep ahead of the movement, the
yards are still kept in good working
order and it will not be till later that
there will be any danger of getting
blocked. 1t is almost impossible to
get sufficient supply of cars into
the northwest to handle the wheat
crop any year and this year the crop
in North Dakota is proving to be OF
such proportion that this will be the
greatest trouble to overcome.
The movement will continue to in
crease for probably the next 80 days
when it will have about reached the
climax and at that time train crews
will be worked from Is to 20 hours per
day and will be tired lot when the
final windup arrives, which will not
be until the first of the year. This
is the time of the year, however, when
trainmen make big money, and 1t is
not uncommon for the more ambitious
who are willing to work almost night
and day, to make almost 5000 per
month

FUNSTON TO COMMAND.
Should Intervention Be Found Nee.

Have Charuo nf Iand Enrcaa


Have Charge of Land Forces.
Associated Press Cable to The Evening
Washington, D. c., Sept. 20-In-
formation has been received at the
state department from M. r Spell
man, of the Colonial Cuban company,
at New York, that he had been adj
vised OF the destruction of the
Esperanza estate near Cienfueges,
Cuba. The estate was burned by Col.
Collada and band of insurgents. 1t
is not known whether Col. Callada
was unaware of the suspension of
hOstilities or merely was acting as
an outlaw.
The Esperanza estate is not far
from the CONSTANT estate which was
reported to have been destroyed sew
eral days ago. The insurgents have
been particularly active in the vicin-
ity of Cienfuegos and are reported to
have destroyed considerable proper
ty. Official advices concerning the
burning of big plantations, which
have been reported from time to time,
are lacking, however.
Some question has risen over the
conflict of Mr.. Spellman's dispatch
mentioned in Commander Fullam's
dispatches. Commander Fullam has
been asked for further information.
All the ships of the navy destined
for Cuba at present are on the sea
and it is expected they will consti-
tute sufficient force unless peace
plans fail and intervention becomes
necessary. 1t is understood that the
navy will send supply ship with
food, and colliery to Havana.
General Frederick Funston, who is
now on his way to Washington UNI
der orders from the war department
will probably be assigned to command
the army in Cuba If Intervention
should be found necessary.

WANTS AUTO TOUR.

Annotated Press to The Evening Times.
New York, Sept. 2O.-Among the
many automobile enthusiasts who
have been attracted here from all
parts of the country by the coming
elimination trials for the Vanderbilt
Cup race, much interest is manifest
ed in the meeting to be held this
evening by the directors of the Ameri-
can Automobile association. 1t is ex-
pected that some official action will
be taken at the meeting regarding
the recent Glidden Cup tour, the re-
suits of which proved very unsatis-
factory to those who took part in the
event.
A report may be received by the
directors regarding the plans for the
next A. A. A. tour Strong efforts are
being made by the managers of the
jamestown Exposition to secure the
tour for their section of the caountry,
and inducements have been held out
that if the autoists make jamestown
the terminus of the tour, an eight
mile road from Norfolk to jamestown
will be built by the exposition CON-
pany at a cost of about $4,000.

James Norris Gillett, who recently
defeated Governor Pardee in a con-
test for the republican gubernatorial
nomination in California, was born in
Viroqua, Wis.,, Sept. 20. 1860, and re-
ceived his schooling in the neighboring
town of Sparta. He left Wisconsin
when a young man and settled in
Humboldt county. California, where,
with grit as his only capital, he had a
hard row to hoe for several years. He
opened law office and served six
years as city attorney of Eureka. With
this record behind him he was elected
to the state legislature in 1897. He
made good record in the legislature
and the result was his election to con-
gress from the First district of Cali
fornia in 1903. Although candidate
for mining constituency. and not
mining man. he defeated Senator Ford,
mining attorney of Nevada City, and
two years later was reelected with
an increased majority.

THE SPAS OF CALIFORNIA.
Matter of Economic Interest to Amer jeans Who Go Abroad for
 Their Health.

The spas Of Europe are . vas. source of profit to the countries in which they are situated. In these Meecas of the healthless are annually spent millions upon millions of dollars which tend to the enrichment. not only of land. lords and trsdesmen. but more or less. of the whole resident population. IL is, therefore. says the San Francisco Argonapt. a matter not alons of med icai but of economic interest that, in the opinion of Dr. Simon Baruch. a distinguished practitioner in hydro therapy. who is now within the bor- ders of the state. there are springs in California. the waters of which rival. in curative powers. those of Baden Baden. Bat-Nauneim. Carlsbad. Can nes, and mary other famous springs in Europe" As iz yell known, particu- larly such affections as rheumatism, gou. and nervous disorders yield to hy- drotherapic treatment: and while the human mind is 90 constituted that re- mote and expensive cures are mors highly considered than near and in- expensive ones. l. is certainly to be hoped that California springs vii shortly have a place in the cure cf these and other diseases. such as. n the opinion of Dr. Bar1ch, they de- serve to have.

HEELS HALF A YARD HIGH.
Root of the Idea to Which Women Owe Many Foot Defor-
 mites.

Heels. it is said, owe their origin to Persia. where they were introduced upon sandals, in the shape of blocks of wood fixed underneath, such being the root idea of those deformities to which woman owes so many of her woes. In Persia, the first home of the heel, however. these blocks of wood were used simply to raise the feet from the burning sands of that country, and were about two inches high.
 With the Persian women these blocks were vastly higher than those affected by the men. their height be- ing from IS inches to 2 feet, thus be- coming more of the nature of stilts than anything else. Strangely enough, many years after e similar fashion came into vogue in Venice. but the motive in th< case was com ically different, for by its means jeal- ous husbands thought they would be able to keep their wives at home.
 The supports of such shoes in Venice were called "Chapineys," and to ap- pease the vanity of the ladies, and doubt less also to sugar the pill. were made highly ornate. The height of these chapineys determined the rank of the wearer, an extra coating for the pill. the noblest danes being permitted to wear them half yard or more high.
