Tillman Wants Information.

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator
Tillman made a remarkable speech in
the senate today, inveighing against
the alleged corruption Of national
banks. He urged the adoption of the
drag net resolution which directs the
senate committee on finance to investi-
gate and report whether criminal or
civil prosecutions should follow the
discovery, if such discovery is made,
that the national banks have been con.
tributing to campaign funds or have
been guilty of irregularities in the re.
ccut failures in Chicago or have been
guilty OF paying Ohio county treas
urers commissions for depositing
county funds in the banks.
Tillman declared that the leading
democrats are aware Of the facts out
they have suppressed them. He said
that nothing has beer done to correct
the abuses by legislation, although
the committee promised him three
weeks ago to report his bill.
Mr.. Tillinan said that he had been
told that the total contributions to the
republican fund in 1896 had been 49,.
500, 600: in 1900, s.. 500. 900. and in 1904.

cold, stormy days when the children

The Fort Benton schools offer as.

can be found in the state for a town
of its size. Many people move in from
the surrounding country during the
winter to take advantage of the school
facilities.
The total enrolment in all depart
ments of the school is about two hum

property and furnishings represent
an expenditure of about 500, 600, and
the excellent educational work that
results from it is a very satisfactory

THE FORT BENTON
PUBLIC SCHOOL

The Fort Benton public school con-
,ists of two distinct departments-the
graded school and the high school.
The graded school is composed of the
first eight grades, and the high school
of the ninth, tenth, eleventh and
twelfth grades.
Miss Iva Boland has charge of the
first and second grades in room No. |.
This room has an enrolment of fifty
four and an average daily attendance
Of tifty-one. The method used in
teaching beginners is very different
from that in use fifteen or twenty years
ago. The irrational method of teach
ing reading is used in this room. BY
this method the sounds of letters and
combination of letters are learned be-
fore the name of the letter is learned.
In fact, the name of the letter is taught
incidentally only. Language and ma
ture study are taught in connection
with reading in this room.
Miss Nina c. Thibault is in charge
of grades two and three. This room
has ar enrolment of tifty-two and an
average daily attend ance of forty
eight. The teaching in these grades
becomes more abstract. History and
geography of Montana are taught in
this roo and great stress is laid on
learning the tables in arithmetic.
Oral and written language work re-
