SALARIES IN OTHER PLACES
Comparative Salaries of Teachers as
Paid in Other Leading Cities
in the State.

There is an inclination on the part
Of some OF the citizens Of the city to
criticise the board of education for
the increase of salaries that was made
at the last meeting of the board,
when most all of the teachers in the
city schools were granted an ad-
vance. In a directory issued by the
department Of education is given a
list of the salaries paid teachers in
all the leading towns of the state,
and the figures here presented show
that until this year Mitchell has not
kept up with the procession in the
way of paying the amount necessary
to keep the best possible force at the
head OF our schools. Up at Water
town the superintendent will receive
81, 800 for his next years work, while
the high school teachers receive an
average salary OF S75 per month. The
little Town of Webster, up in the
northeastern part of the state, pays
its superintendent sl.5OO for the
coming year. Miller, which is no
comparison in size With Mitchell,
paws ITS superintendent ST., 100 next
year making an increase of 5000.
Madison will pay its superint endent.
81 500 the coming year and last year
its high school teachers received
higher salaries than did Mitchell's.
Deadwood pays Its superintendent
ST $50 and Lead does better with S2.-
500, and the high school teachers in
each place receive all the way from
500 to ST., 600 per year. Yankton will
pay its superintendent ST., 700. Aber-
deem increased the salary of its SUI
perintendent to S. 1000 for the next
year, its principal to.Si, 500, and the
high school teachers ranging from
S72O to 1895. In view OF what other
towns of the same, or nearly the
same, class as Mitchell. are paying
the increase made by the board in
this city does not appear to be any
too high. Mitchell makes a point OF
its excellent school system and it can
not be maintained by the payment
Of small salaries, for the teachers
will not be slow to go to places
where the salaries are higher.

Found Skeleton.

In making the excavation for a
store room at Dorsey's Ford on
Green river near Mammoth Cave,
there was unearthed the perfect
skeleton of a man.
There is a great deal of mystery
attached to the find, as the manner
of burial is strange and there were
no signs on the spot nor marks
which would have gone to show that
it was a grave.
Many of the old settlers have been
questioned as to the skeleton but no
ones memory dates back to when
this spot was a scene of a burial. 1t
is taken for granted that it is the
remains of an Indian although no
relics were found in the grave.
Many years ago there was book
agent who mysteriously disappeared
from that community and it was
thought that he was murdered. So
some thinks that this find might
possibly be the remains of this man.

ROOSEVELT PEACE-MAKER
Endured a Great Coal Strike a
Great War and Prevented
Another Big Strike.
Louisville Hernld.l

A peacemaker, Theodore Roose-
welt stands pre-eminent, not by
mere profession, but by actual
achievement. His peacemaking be-
gins, as it should, at home. but its
power is felt in the remotest parts
of the earth. He put term, by the
invoking of just and poet instru-
mentalitialities, to an industrial
war, which, three years ago aff1ict-
ed very large and populous sec
ton of the country. He brought
Russia and Japan to terms of
peace at time when continuance
Of their sanguinary struggle seemed
inevitable. No other man on earth
could then have made peace on the
terms utility agreed upon feasible.
But Theodore Roosevelt did it. The
combatants believed in him. In the
American President they recognized
a friend of humanity, who did not
desire the humiliation of either, but
the promotion of the worlds well
fare without loss or handicap to
either.
Roosevelt advised, Russia listened
Japan yielded and peace was signed.
But for the respect everywhere felt
for America, typified in Theodore
Roosevelt, Germany had not, perhaps,
taken so calm a course at Algeciras.
nor proved so complacent to the
Unite States in the matter of trade.
No nation will hereafter, enter light
ly on war. The public opinion of the
United States for peace now leads
the world. The United States is
besides, fast making ready to be the
best of peacemakers by becoming
the best equipped of fighters.
Theodore Roosevelt's latest victory
as a peacemaker is his successful eff
fort to avert the terrific mining war
threatened. first in the East, but
certain to be felt throughout the
whole country. His letter to John
Mitchell, head of the Mine Workers
Union, and to Francis l.. Robbins.
leader of the bituminous operators,
discloses the most laubable patriot
ism. He tells them that such strike
as that threatened for April ! is "a
menace to the peace, BUSINESS and
general welfare of the country" The
President adds: Il urge you to
make further effort to avert such
a calamity. There will be, in conse-
Quence of the Presidents timely

AFFIRMS TWO CASES
Recently Decided BY Judge Evans
in District Federal
Court.

The Uuited States Circuit Court
of Appeals in session at Cincinnati,
with Judge Lurton Seqerens and
Richards on the bench has affirmed
decisions of Judge Walter Evans in
the case of w. H. Thomas & Son
Company VS. c. NJ. Barnett, former
Surveyor of the Port of Louisville,
and the Louisville Pillow Company
VS.. the United States.
W. H. Thomas & Son Company in
Judge Evans court sued for a writ
of mandamus to compel the Survey
or to grant permission to transfer
whisky in barrels to glas carboys.
Suit for 50, 900 damages was also in
stituted against the Surveyor. Judge
Evans decided gainst w. H. Tho
mas & Son Company and the Court
of Appeals sustain this decision.
The Louisville Pillow Company on
Agril l3, 1903, imported from Dublin
thirty bales of feathers. The con-
signment was assessed at 10 per cent
which the company paid. Suisse
quently the consignment was asses
sed at so per cent, which the com =
pany refused to pay. 1t was held by
the court that the appeal of the
Louisville Pillow Company should
have been made to the Board of APP
prsisers within ten days which was
not done. Now the company must

nine times out of ten the subscriber
will give the newspaper man "cal-
ling down" for insinuating that his
credit is so good. Much rather than
cast any reflection against Il neign-
boris honesty to pay a small debt it
has become almost necessary for
country newspaper to continue send
ing the paper after the time has ex-
pired. The city weeklies and dailys
do not care to follow this rule as
their subscribers live at distance
and besides they are not acquainted
with them and do not know their
financial standing. One should deem
it an honor to know that his credit is
not doubted when the publisher
continues to send the paper. Should
the subscribers desire to have his
paper discontinued he should in
form the publisher and remit to date
if any amount is owing.

JUDGE MOORMAN
Takes a Peculiar View Of the Mar
rage Ceremony and Its
Observance.

Hon. Henry DeHaven Norman,
County Judge of Breckenridge coun-
ty, married his first and last couple
last Thursday says the Cloverport
News. Judge Norman announced
that he would not perform the mar
rage ceremony for another couple
during this term of Office. He said:
THE marriage ceremony is too secur-
ed to be performed by the public
official in a public office in the
presence of a gaping crowd of
curious and unlimited guests. and
Twill not desecrate it by performing
it again."
Judge Mormon was born and
reared in Breckenridge county and
lived several years in Greensboro.
1t is believed that he is the young
est county Judge in the State and he
is certainly the first who has ever
taken this portion with regard to
the marriage ceremony.
