Statement Of School Trustees
EUREKA DISTRICT

The July appropriation Of school moneys
has been received Iy the County Superin-
tendent, and we respectfully submit the fol-
lowing statement for the consideration of all
concerned, showing the expenses of the school
for the coming nine months, and the money
that we can reasonably expect from the var.
ious sources:
The primary cause of the shortage is owing
to the fact hat the County Commissioner in
compliance with the Newlands Act cut the
County Tax from Soc in 1906 to 20c in 1907,
making a reduction Of 40 per cent or in the
neighborhood of $500 in the amount received
from this source. 1t had been the hope of
the Board that by dropping one teacher and
making a special levy of SOC the Eureka Dis
trict would be enabled to have a ten months
school term the coming year, but conditions
are such that even with this help, nine months
school is the best we can do. The building is
sadly in need Of repairs; the roof leaks badly,
and must be repaired at once. Tit black
boards alu ost without exception are worn out
and while we do not expect 20 replace all the

no coal, and owing to the threatened scarcity
Of fuel the coming Winter, this matter must
be given immediate attention. The insurance

days to keep the policies ip force. In ad-
dition to the above there are many incidentals

Washington, D. c., Oct. 17.-There is
an interesting story behind the action
of President Roosevelt in directing the
suspension of the pilots license of
Captain Clarence l.. Nichols of the
steamboat Fred Hertweg.
When the parade-14 or Is vessels
in all-started from Cairo with the Mis-
sissippi, President Roosevelt's flagship,
in the lead, the Fred Hertweg steamed
joyously alongside it and proceeded to
give the president faint imitation of
how he would be welcomed to ''our fair
city" if he ever visited it.
"Wu-ooo-oo-wah," sounded the siren.
"Toot, toot," answered the Missis
sippi, which was impolite, as "Toot
toot" was supposed to mean Get back
in line and don't bother u.s."

Americans at Manila Not Salts
fled With Taft's Speech to
New Congress.
MEANT AS A PEACE MESSAGE
Delegates to Assembly Show That They
Are Unfamiliar with Parlia-
mentary Usage.

Manila, Oct. 17.-Great interest was
manifest in the speech of Secretary
Taft opening the Philippine assembly,
which was delivered in the National
theater at :15 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. He failed to satisfy some of the
American residents of Manila regarding
the policy of the American government.
The general impression is that his
speech was placative. He intimated
that misdemeanor would result in the
abolishment of the assembly, but it is
declared that this contingency is not
expected. AS for the Filipinos, they
expressed no opinion of the speech.
Views of Two Years Ago Hold.
In his address Mr.. Taft reiterated his
former statements regarding the is
lands, declaring that his views announc-
ed two years ago regarding the indie
pendence of the Filipino people were
unchanged He did not believe that
they would be fitted to govern them
selves for at least a generation but he
added that the matter was entirely in
the hands of congress. The secretary
denied emphatically that the United
States had any intention of disposing
| of the islands. said he had absolute
confidence in the Filipinos, denied that
| he was disappointed at their ability to
| legislate cOnservatively, and asserted
his belief that they felt their RESPONSE
bility and acknowledged the necessity
Of supporting the American government
Mr.. Taft refrained from making any
suggestion regarding specific legislation
on the part of the Philippine assembly
but he recommended that attention be
paid to the civil service.

Rockford, ILL.,, Oct. 17-"Stand by

was the political slogan adopted by
delegates to the convention OF the
Illinois State Federation of Labor yes
terday. Active political warfare will
be waged on all legislators who voted
against labor bills in the last session.
Circulars containing names of friendly
legislators and those who proved un-
tributed by thousands in the respective
districts. The delegates declare this
is the first time that the state organ
ization has gone into politics in a real,
practical way and that it will result
| in the retirement of a number of the
present members of the legislature.
FavOrs Independent Party.
The political action was taken on
the report of the committee to which
was referred President Wright's an
nual report. The report recommended
that the incoming legislative commit
tee keep up the work at Springfield
which was inaugurated last session un
til the measures favored by organized
labor become laws. 1t recommends
the printing of blacklists and the fo-
nation of an independent labor party
| The latter recommendation was re
ferred to the committee on resolutions
which will kill it today, as the leaders
in the convention do not favor the for
nation of any independent party.

cialists and trade unionists marked

from the federal funds for construction
work on the fair, and this is expecte1
to be merely charged on Uncle Sans
books in the profit aud loss column.
1t is said that Acting Secretary Ed
wards is considering a plan to take
charge of the exposition and to retain
the gate receipts in order to get back
as much money as possible to meet the
government loan.
If this arrangement is carried out
the running expenses would be paid
by the federal government. When
congress granted the loan it was pro-
vided that levy could be made on the
receipts if necessary. The paid ad

of the Illinois Central
Railroad.

Chicago, Oct. 17.-When the meeting
of the stockholders of the Illinois Cen
trail reconvened today the proxy COM
mittee was not ready to report and ad-
journment was taken until afternoon.
Chicago, Oct. 1.-THE annual stock
holders meeting of the Illinois Centra,
yesterday proved only the first en-
gagement in the pitched battle for cor-
mishes, the day closed with the Fish
and Hartman forces resting defiantly
on their proxies and with apparent ad
vantage to neither side.
Each side left the scene of action in
the evening boasting that victory was
within. its grasp. The general belief
among the outsiders, however, was
that Hartman has the whip hand and
will be enabled to drive through his
program to oust Fish and name the
four new directors. On the othel
hand, the Fish faction, if it canno
win, aims to create deadlock tina
will be determined only by court DE-
cision on the disputed Union Pacific
and Mutual Life stock.
The nearest approach to an opey
rupture between the contending fac
tions occurred in the directors meet

stockholders. The lie was all bu
