Cases are really worth spending lit
tie time to look at them over. All
kinds and prices. Say nothing about
them.
The bill now receiving considera-
tion at Lansing To provide mini
mum salary rate for school teachers
possesses more value for Michigan
than may at once be apparent. Such
a provision is on the statute books Of
Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and many
other states. It's direct and indirect
purpose is torequire efficiency and to
secure good work 10 all our schools.
Michigan is unusually fortunate in
the large school fund it secures from
state sources, and the state should be
insIstent that the best possible use be
made of this fund. Cheap teachers
are usually poor teachers, aud money
spent for poor teaching is almost
worse than wasted Many school
officers forget the interest of the state
Ia their provision for teachers, but
the state should not be similarly in
different or forgetful Other states
have not been and Michigan should
not continue TO be.

BUTTE, Mont, Aug. 20.-The police
of this city are puzzled over the find
ing of an unidentified body of muir
dered man in wine room of the Blue
Ribbon saloon. ia the southern portion
Of Butte. That 1T is case of foth
murder there is no doubt in the minds
Of the officers or that robbery was the
motive for the killing Of the stranger.
The mans neck had been broken so
that a bone protruded cruelty from
the flesh and on the head was a cash
sufficient in itself to have caused
death. The pockets of the corpse had
been rifleA of everything which might
teri 20 throw light upon the identify
of the victim To all appearances the
man was aAfailroad grader from the
Milwaukee construction camp south of
the city, who had come to town fol-
lowing payday and had fallen prey to
a gang of thugs whose victims for the
past six months have been chiefly
graders who have come to Butte for a
good time after payday.
