JANESVILLE STIRRED UP
Series Of lawiess Occurrences Hap.
pen There Of Late.
From Satnrday'S tla,1u

GAINESVILLE is stirred up over a series
OF happenings, which have eliminated
III the robbery of a saloon there day
before yesterday morning, as stated by
The Free Press yesterday. Someone has
been peering through windows evenings,
frightening the more timid of the female
residents. The other night someone
threw a stick of cordwood through the
sash of the residence of an old lady
who lives alone, badly frightening her.
The window was repaired the next day
and then the following night the same
outrage was committed again.
The manner in which the saloon was
robbed shows that it was the work of
a novice, and it is believed that the
reign of terror is caused by local par
ties. When they are apprehended, doubt
less they will be adequately punished.

LOOK AFTER LEGIsLATIO
Teachers Prepare Bills for the Per.
usai Of. Law Makers.

st. Paul, Jan. 2l.-A number of nrom.
inent educators met privately with Su-
perintendent j. w. Olson of the depart
ment of public instruction at the capitol
Saturday afternoon, the object being to
discuss plans for introduction and fur.
therng of special legislation desired
along educational lines
Although the meeting was executive.
1t is understood that the educators favor
the passage of a bill for the establish
ment of minimum salary which can
be paid teachers in this state, i'm view
OF the fact that the average Minnesota
teacher is now paid less a year than is
given to the average day laborer. They
also desire bill creating a system of
industrial agricultural schools, such as
were approved by resolution adopted at
the recent meeting in Minneapolis of the
Minnesota Education association. A law
to make county superintendent of
schools appointive instead of eleted by
the people is favored, the appointment
to be made by the county commission
ers.
The detail of measures under these
three heads were not outlined. 1t was
decided best first fully to discuss the
subjects with the educational commit
of tn .l
the educators have already been invit-
ed to do. The consensus of opinion also
was that educational legislation had
better be included in as few bills as
possible, and that all interests agree on
the form of the bills, so that when they
appear all parties affected will favor
their passage and they will not be de-
layed or endangered by amendments.
Educators who were at the meeting
included Superintendent j. w. Olson,
Presient Frank A. Weld of the Moore
head normal, President w. A. Shoemak-
,r of the st. Cloud normal, ,Superintend-
mt w. f. Kunze of Redwing, principal
elect of the Cleveland high school, st.

ntendents: George f. Howard of Roches-
,er, J. +. Larson, saltwater; M. L.

Chicago, June l0.-WHEAT.--The

q weakening effect. The total
acreage of spring wheat was placed
at 164G4,000 acres, n decrease of
per cent as compared with the crop
of last year. These figures were
more favorable than generally expect
ed and prices declined more than a

Az Wheat Goes Lower Because Of the
Government Report On the
Crop Situation.

New York June 10.--An unusual re
suit followed today In the stock mar
ke from the week end recovery in
prices. That is, some moderate ont
side demand was attracted The
moderate advances of the first hour
in the stock market were yielded al
most entirely before the force OF
profit taking sales. The subsequent
lethargy Of the market was attributed
to desire Of operators to see the
complexion OF the government re-
ports of the condition OF the wheat
ments. 1t was not until the appear
ance of this report that anything like
animation was revived in the stock
market. 1t gave prompt evidence
then Of relief from pprehensiveness
caused by the reports of Saturday re-
garding the extreme deterioration OF
the Kansas crop, and by gloomy pros
poets given by private crop reports.
The governments figures were ac-
cepted as refudation of these alarm
inc reports. Prices advanced to the
highest of the day after the appear
ance of the report in consequence of
a sharp reaction in wheat.
