who are acquainted with the

Tragedy at Browns Valley.

Lee Lowe, about Is years,
living in Browns Valley, shot
himself in the head last Saturday
afternoon, and tho he is alive
at this writing it is not thought
he will live. Lowe had been
married to a daughter of Sam
Brown, but was divorced. He
had been drinking heavily of
late and it is thought that this,
together with the fact that he
had brooded over his domestic
difficulties, is responsible for his
rash act. At the time the deed
was done he was at bis brothers
house. The bullet entered the
forehead and followed the skull
around to the base of the brain.

Free Text Books.

The STANDARD is in receipt of
the following communication
from Superintendent of Schools
Jones, with request to publish:
To School Patrons: | wish
to call your attention at
this time to Section 233, Article
XIV, of the school laws, which
provides as follows: Upon
written petition of a majority Of
the electors of any school corpo-
ration asking that the school
books be furnished free to the
pupils, it shall be the duty of
said Board to arrange and fur
nish the free use of books to the
pupils of such corporation under
such rules and regulations as the
school board may determine.
In my opinion, many good
things may be said in favor of
free text books in the public
schools. Several classes in sue
cession, perhaps five or six. may
use the same books before they
are worn out. From this it will
be seen that the cost Of text
books for the district would not
be more than one-ffth of what
it is where pupils buy their own
books.
In districts where free text
books are furnished, every pupil
can be supplied with the neces.
sary books on the day he enters
school, and he is at once prepar.
ed to take up the work of his
class regularly. On the other
hand, where each pupil buys his
own books, a aweek, and frequen'
tly a longer period elapses from
the time he enters school until
he is fully equipped with all the
text books he needs. And it toe
often occurs that a pupil is
never supplied with all the text

A fR!skY TRIP:

Browns Valley Youth Starts
Out to DO" the City But
Comes to Grief.
We quote the following from
the Minneapolis Journal, anent a
Browns Valley youth who evil
IDENTIFY wanted to go the pace"
during his trip to the city.
Clarence Wentworth came
out of the west, or more speci-
tically, Browns Valley, some two
weeks ago, to see what life in a
great city is like. He got into
the urban stride. 1t landed him
in the police court this morning,
and now he has gone up to the
workhouse to stay ninety days.
The charge against him was
vagrancy, but that by no means
tells the whole story
The police began to take Of
ficial notice Of him several days
ago, but not till last night did
they deem him ripe for picking.
Then they found him in what
they regarded as suspicious COM
pany, at Nicollet and Washing
ton avenues, and gathered him
in. The company consisted of
another young fellow and an old
fellow. The old fellow had
money.
The party entered saloon in
that neighborhood, and Went
worth requested the barkeep to
start up the piano.
Il want to waltz this gentle
man around a few times" I" he
said pointing to the elderly
party.
The police charge tnat Went
worth was actuated in this by
nothing less than a desire to get
his hand into the pocket where
the money lay. The piano was
not started, and the gentleman
was not waltzed, but the pocke1
still had it's charms, and the
policemen testified that they dis
tinctly saw Wentworth reaching
for it in as furtive a manner az
was possible without terpsi
chorean cover. The arrest fol
lowed.
The young man, when called
upon to plead, blamed the Other
fellow. His own conscience was
entirely clear in the matter. He
said he belonged to a goot
family in Browns Valley, and he
rather looked the part. He was
neatly dressed and his manners
were not bad at all.
The old fellow who stood to be
waltzed, had all gone we'll, wa!
in court to testify, but he fel
asleep on the witness stand
When it came to testifying he
couldn't speak his own name Sc
that anybody could understand
him.

books he ought to have, which
IN consequence is detrimental
not to himself alone, but to the
entire school.
With these points in view, to-
gether with the fact that new
text books adopted recently are
to go into use thru-out the
county this fall, / respectfully
urge you to consider the question
of furnishing free text books in
your district. Z"
