 Chicago Sept. 4-District Attorney Sims, of this city, left for Oyster Bay this morning to confer with the Pres ident relative to the Alton railway sit uation. This road it will be remem- bered, was the one which gave the greater part of the rebates Standard Oil was assessed the S29, 240, GOO fine for.

 Fez, Morocco, Sept. 4-Because they had not had pay day for months, the Sultan's troops revolted this morn- ing when they were orderd to march against the revolutionists, and refused to budge. They were accordingly re- turned to camp. Later in the day Foreign Minister Tazzi was assassinat- ed just as he was leaving the royal palace. The impression is current that the Sultan was the instigator of the murder, as the Tazzi fortune is said to be great enough to pay the en- tire Moroccan debt, and it will be completely in the hands of the Sultan.

At a meeting held to discuss the matter Saturday night, Count Ishii was present, but had nothing to say in the matter.

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
(By Leo Ranney. ]

This school year is opening in WAY most satisfactory indeed. The school house is in excellent condition: the attendance large: we have a corps of very efficient teachers; the equipment is being rapidly improved.
 We have been fortunate in securing the services of Mrs. Taylor in the inter- mediate department during Miss Red- ding'S illness.
 A word to parents. This is your school, the school for your children. It can not succeed without your sup port and help. We are deeply inter- ested in the boys and girls you send to us. In fact, we are here for just one great purpose-to assist them to secure complete education. We must work with you and you must work with us, or both our efforts will in part be spent in vain.
 General bells are rung as follows:
 S;3o, :55 and 9:00 a. m. l2:4o, F :55 and l :oo p. m.
 Few pupils will need to start to school before the first bells ring. We must insist that pupils do not appear on the grounds or in adjacent lots be- fore the first bells are rung. May we depend upon you to assist in enforcing this rule?
 Let us remind you that the greatest h; fn la of lS irregular attendance. He cannot keep up with his class if you keep him out of school or even allow him to remain absent, because almost every day $ work is built up on what was learned the day before. You do your child a great injustice if you habitually keep him out of school for anything other than sickness in the family. His de- ire as to whether he shall attend or not. should not be consulted in this case. for there were times in your life when you would have renounced school, had you not been forced to at tend.
 Encourage your children to be punc- tual in attendance and diligent in the preparation of their lessons. It may often be necessary for them to study at home. Encourage them all you can. You are greatly interested in their progress at school-then let nothing outside direct their attention from their school work.
 Don't criticize the teacher till you talk with her and learn both sides of the case. Remember that you have but one or two children to deal with, while teacher has thirty or forty.
