the fact that he had known these gen

they deserved consideration, and as min
isters, why not? For the gospel is
one of the powerful factors in the solv-

REFORMERS REFORMED.

1t is sad as well as amusing when we
read the declarations of William z.
Chancellor and Roscoe Conkling Bruce
as to the reforms that they intended to
have made in the public schools, and the
necessity of the Board of Education re-
forming the reformers.
1t is more amusing to see and listen
TO the "suave" assistant superintendent
issuing orders to the teachers, as if
they were slaves; and if they refuse to
obey the naughty supervising principal,
threatens to report them to the High
Lord Chancellor.
You will see the poor teacher with a
bundle of instructions measuring two
Yards long, with a list of books that
they must ready, equally as long. Aside
from these burdens they must attend
the meeting of the High Chancellor and
his deputy and listen to an hour or
more harangue. After this the teacher
must 60 home, take bite of food, no
time to arrange his toilet, and back to
a lecture, for which he is compelled to
purchase tickets to the amount of one
dollar and half.
Just think of itl If the teacher re-
fuses he is given a gentle reminder by
the supervising principal, who is slave
of the deputy High Chancellor.
Since the investigation and the prob
able removal of the High Chancellor
and his deputy there has been great re-
lief in the schools. The deputy of the
High Chancellor endeavored to persuade
several of the male teachers to enter
the examination for eighth grade prin-
cipalships. The idea is that no matter
how competent a female teacher may
be she was to be denoted and the So
called eligible promoted.

THE TEACHERS BURDENS


Editor of The Bee:
In speaking of the Reign of Terror"
in the schools you should have spoken
of the humanity that IS out of them
for as the teacher is in no position to
complain we who are out of the schools
should place before the proper authori-
ties their many duties, who, if possible,
will relieve them of the terrible strain
of the awful conditions and the great
pressure of the vast amount of unneces-
sary work in many Of the grades.
A few of their duties are as follows !:

The contest from the beginning was
close and exciting race and consider
able interest was taken in it by the
people of Blue Earth and adjoining
counties, due to the fact that the con-
testants were well known and popular
young people. Up to the last moment
subscriptions came pouring in to the
Free Press office from both the city
and county and each subscriber came
in to vote for his favorite. A number
of subscriptions were brought in after
ten o'clock but these were refused the
privilege of voting.
On account of the large number of
subscriptions turned in the last day
the contest judges were unable to de-
eide the winner of the first prize until
late in the afternoon. At twelve
O'Clock the contestants and several OF
their friends were taken to the Saul
paugh hotel in Mr.. Rosenberger's four
wheel drive auto ''Mankato" where an
elegant luncheon was served. After
luncheon the counting of the votes
was resumed and at three o'clock the

TRlLBY IN REAL LIFE
Miss Bessie Abbott Draws inspira-
ton From Her Sister.

New York, July. 3l,-That she is
Trilby in real life--drawing her inspir-
alton from the psychic bond existing
between herseslf and her twin sister,
Jessie, whose presence in the audience
when she sings is necessary to her sue
cess-was the remarkable assertion
frankly made by Miss Bessie Abbott,
one. of Herr Conried's most famous
prima donnas.
Miss Abbott's admission was all the
more astonishing because of two an
nouncements she was making. One was
that rumors that she was engaged
were true, she jealousy keeping secret
the identity of her betrothed; the 9th.
er was that as long as she remained
OH the stage her sister must never
marry. This part of her statement
was made on account of recent reports
that Jessie was engaged to James u
Blaine. ......r.

the prima donna, firmly, 'if my sister
deserts me OF allows her sympathles

WANT GRAND STAND CHANGED
SibIey Park Base Ball Diamond Gould
Be Greatly Improved.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Until spectators are provided with
grand stand, it cannot be expected
that large numbers of them will at
tend the ball games that take place
at Sibley park. But few enthusiasts
will go there to stand up throughout
the games, and they cannot be blamed
if they don't do so. The contests
last about one hour and a half, and
no matter how interesting and how eX-
citing they may be, the crowd will
get tired, their legs and feet will acfs,
and they lose much of the enjoyment
of the game.
Now that racing is a thing of the
past on the Sibley track and can be
no use for the grand stand at its
present location it is suggested that
the structure be moved to the ball
ground. 1t is estimated that this and
the necessary bracing would cost about
$3.50, small expenditure, and the ben
eft received from the change would
more than pay for ALL The many fans
in Mankato request the council to
give this matter consideration.

Existing law provides that battle
ships shall be named after states OF
the Union. 1t so happens that with
one exception these names have been
exhausted. That exception is Utah.
and for some reason or other not
fully explained at the navy depart
ment there is prejudice against the
name of Utah to battleship.
Sailors are superstitious about

AUTO STREET CAR LINE
Franchise Is Asked From the City
Council at Waterloo.

Waterloo, July 3l.-An automobile
street car line is proposed for this
city and it's promoters asked fran
chise of the city council. The pro-
iectors of the new and novel street
railway are: Judge E. p. Caldwell.
ex- Sheriff w. NJ. Law, DIR. l.. E.
Evens, E. NJ. Wyant and Julian w.
Richards, all residents of Waterloo.
The company has been organized for
the purpose of promoting a plan that
Judge Caldwell has been evolving for
the last ten years-the operation of
street car system with gasoline, with
out the aid of trolley poles, wires, or
other unsightly appurtenances. 1t IL
the plan of this company to operate
its cars through the streets of Water
loo with this kind of an engine, and
it will be the only street railway sys-
tenn of the kind on the continent. The
promoters say they can operate their
cars more economically by this method
and with less confusion than the or
binary system.
The franchise as drawn provides the
city may purchase the line at any
time.

MUST BE LEGAL RESIDENTS
Private Detectives Who Are Employ
ed on the Iron Range.

ST. Paul, July 3l.-Are the northern
Minnesota mines breaking state laws
when they employ detectives?
This question was raised in the gov
ernor's office, and laws were discov-
cred on the statutes which seem to
prohibit the employment of private
'fybobs."
The law evidently provides that
hired detectives must be legal resi-
dents of the state.
In 1891 S. A. Stockwell, Minneapo.
lis, then state senator, secured the
passage of a bill especially aimed
against the Pinkertons.
This bill was afterwards incorporat-
ed in the code of 1905 in two sections.
Section Sill requires that every
state or municipal officer who shall
appoint or swear in any peace officer,
before such peace officer has become
a legal resident of the state, shall be
guilty of gross misdemeanor.
Section 5l72 provides that every
person who shall keep a detective Of
flee for the letting out of any armed
force shall be guilty of a gross mis-
demeanor and punished by imprison-
ment of three to twelve months, or
by a fine of $50 to $500.

INSURANCE on BUILDINGS
Board Of Control Gets Low Rate for
institutions.


The state board of control, through
F. w. Leavitt, has placed $6,OOO,OOC OF
insurance on all state property. The
policies are three year contracts dating
from Aug. l. Negotiations have been
going on for some time between the
board of control and Walter K.
Fischer, manager of the Minnesota and
Dakota inspection bureau at Minneapo-
lis, relative to the state insurance.
The board finally offered to place
the business at an average rate of
SLAP per thousand. The board of con-
troll considered this too high and stated
that if better rate were not granted
by the insurance board, the board of
control would go into the open market
in an attempt to get the states in
surance at better figure. The result
was compromise made today of an
average rate of $l.35 per thousand,
which is ten cents per 500 increase
on the rate granted the state on its
insurance three years ago.
Insurance on state property has been
losing venture for the insurance COM
panies. The losses during the p It six
years have been considerably in excess
of the premiums paid by the board of
control
