German methods of teaching may
find place in Chicago schools as a re-
suit of recent trip to Europe of Ed
win G. Cody, superintendent of
schools. Mr. Cody made an extensive
investigator of educational methods in
Berlin, Vienna, Prague, Dresden, Mum
ich and Liepsic, as well as in Paris
and London, and came back enthusiast
tic over some of the up-to-dat feat
ures of the old world education. The
continuation schools" of Germany came
in for especial commentator. "These
schools take the children after they
have gone to work." he said, "and in
their spare time teach them the sub
jects they most need in the particular
lines of work they have chosen. Every
child is compelled to attend school
either the public schools or some pri-
vate school, until he has reached the
age of fourteen. Then he may go to
work, but he is not allowed to drop
school completely. He is compelled
by law to keep at his books for two
to three years more in continuation

HIT EY CYCLONE
Charles City, Iowa, Has 200 Resi-
dences Demolished.

Charles City, Iowa, June 9.-At s
p. m. Sunday a cyclone struck this
place, demolishing about 200 resi-
dences and barns, killing one man,
w. R. Beck, and one child. Three
children are reported missing.
The path of the tornado was about
ten rods wide. The storm started
about three miles southwest of the
city, tearing down farm houses, barns
and killing many head of stock. 1t
struck the city in the southwest part,
piowing a path to point in the
northeast part of town. It crossed
the river quarter of mile east of

BLOWN BY DYNAMITE
Explos sion in an EveIeth Mine Laid to
Angry Workman.

Eveleth, Minn., June 6.-At 9:9O at
might, the town was aroused by tre-
mendous blast, followed by violent
hissing sounds, as of escaping steam
or air.
It was found that the pipe line, by
which compressed air is furnished at
No. Spruce mine to No. 4Fayal mine,
for use underground in the Fayal had
been blown up at an expansion joint
with dynamite. A piece of the ex-
pansion sleeve was torn out and the
manner in which the pipe was dented
showed conclusively that it was the
act of some miscreant. A burned
piece of fuse was also found nearby.
All clews obtainable are being fol-
lowed up. The outrage is attributed
by some to the feeling kept up by the
remnant Of the union faction. Some
of these men are said to have remark
ed that the mines would yet have
trouble.

PLANNED TO KILL KAISER,
German Arrested In Italy Partly Con.
fesses to Anarchist Plot.

Bari, Italy, May 30-Two weeks ago
the police arrested here as a vagrant
Paulo Nikolaus, rs years old, me-.
chanic Of Charlottenburg, Prussia.
The German consular authorities were
notified and told the police to hold
the man until it was possible for them
to ascertain the reason for his pres.
ence in Italy. Becoming tired of wait
ing longer in prison, Nikolaus now has
confessed that he is an anarchist and
that he came from Berlin in April,
pledged to kill high parsonage of the
imperial court who left Germany last
month with Emperor William for
Corfu.
From Berlin, Nikolaus said, he was
accompanied by companion who,
however, left him at Ravenna It was
known that Emperor William pro-
posed to visit Apulia, an ancient di.
vision Of southeastern Italy, border
ing on the Adriatic and of which Bari
is province, and Nikolaus came here
in order to carry out his plan. 1t is
believed Emperor William himself
was the intended victim.

.OEAVER GETS CHURCH MEET
BIG PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY
THERE NEXT YEAR.
Session ls 70 Convene the Third
Thursday In May, According to
New Rule Decided Upon.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 3O-Denver
vas Friday selected as the city in
which next years general assembly
OF the Presbyterian church in the
United States Of America is to be
held. But one ballot was taken for
the two contesting cities. The vote
was so nearly unanimous that Seattle
withdrew and the Colorado capital f.
nally was selected with one voice. A
rule was passed providing that the
annual assembly hereafter shall al
ways convene on the third Thursday
In May. -.>~=>
The invitation of Denver to enter.
tain the great gathering in 1909 was
accompanied with promise OF
bonus of $4,000 offered by that city
to entertain the delegates and guests.
In the report of the committee on
bills and overtures, presented by DR..
William Henry Roberts Of Philadel.
phia, its chairman, Denver was. fa-
vored. The claims of that city were
presented strongly by Rev. DR.. Robert
F. Coyle OF Denver, past moderator,
and Rev. DR.. Baxter P. Fullerton OF
st. Louis, the retiring moderator, also
spoke in favor of the Colorado city.
1t was claimed for Denver aside from
the big bonus offered that If the as.
sembly were held there it would cost
much less in the matter of railroad
fares than the long trip to the Pacific
coast, burden that must fall upon
the churches. Then, also, it was ar.
gued, the general assembly had never
yet convened in the Rockies, and as
next year would mark the semicenten.
NAL anniversary OF the establishment
of the church in Colorado, it was par
ticularly desirous that the meeting
be held there. The first Presbyterian
church was organized in Colorado in
1859. Rev. DR.. Mark A. Matthews of
Seattle made an eloquent plea in be.
half Of that city, putting forth the
grand climate of the far northwest
and the unusual beauty spots that it
presents.
When the voting began it was early
apparent that the great majority of
the delegates favored Denver No
count of the one ballot taken was
kept, but when it had been concluded
Rev. Matthews promptly withdrew the
name of Seattle and moved Denver be
unanimously made the selection. This
was done amid great applause.

Annual State
Field Meet

All bids for furnishing the new state
library will have to be rejected and
new bids called for, on account of the
fact that sufficient time was not given
the bidders. The advertisement
should have been published for per-
iOd of thirty days but investigation re-
vealed the fact that there was a delay
and it did not appear the required
number of times. Consequently all
the bids now in will be rejected and
new bids will be submitted by those
desiring to secure the work
The delay was probably caused by
an error in figuring time as the no
tice was published as soon as present
ed for publication.
This is the second delay the con-
tract has received, the first one owing
to the fact that one company had the
work so tied up that it was practi-
cally impossible for any other company
to put in bid.

and live among white people, apart
