ANNUAL REPORT
COUNTY SCHOOLS
POPULATION SHOWS INCREASE
OF 7oO DURING THE PAST
YEAR.
DECREASE IN The ENROLMENT
Average Attendance Also Takes Slight
slumps-Less Illteracy Than
Heretofore.

In some respects the annual report
of County Superintendent Graham
shows progress as compared with the
report of the previous year. but un-
fortunately in other items an actual
retrogression is shown. 1t should be
remarked, however. in justice to the
schools and TO the Superintendent
that the report this year is much
more complete and very much more
reliable than that of last year. I'm
der the new system it is very much
easier to obtain accurate statistics
than formerly and it is probable that
had the report OF last year been as &C
curate as that of this an advance
would have been shown in all lines of
educational endeayor.
The scholastic population of the
county this year is 1876, an increase
as compared with last year OF more
than 700 OF the scholastic popula-
tion 1874 are white and 5,54l are col
ored. There was also an increase
during the year in the number of those
of school age who can read and write.
OF the 1876 persons of school age,
that is between the ages OF six and
twenty-one Years 10,231 can read and
write Last year 9,SS2 were in this
class, showing an increase of 400, but
the ratio of increase did not, however,
keep pace with the ratio OF increase
of population OF those who can read
and write, 6,297 are white and 1894
are colored. The proportion Of whites
who can read to the whole number
being much larger than that of the
colored population. There are about
200 more white male children who can
read and write than there are white.
girls who can do so.
If the statistics for last Syear are
accepted as accurate there was a de-
crease in the enrolment during the
year of more than 800. The enroll
ment this year is given at 1898 as
compared with $3.50 for the previous
year There was also a decrease, ac-
cording to those statistics in the aver
age daily attendance. For the past
term it was 1868 as compared with
5,593 for the previous year.
The country schools did not run
near as long during the past year as
they did for the previous year the
loss being almost school month. !
The average term taught during the
past year was 122 days as compared
with 40 days for 1907 In the cities |

Deficit Wiped Out Tax Rate
TWo-ThirdS Less,

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Sept. s.
Especial Close of the fiscal year
August 31st brings out the cheering
fact that the general revenue fund of
the state of Texas has surplus of
about 100000. The state treasurer
estimates that this surplus will be
augmented with other funds and viii
aggregate at least million dollars.
Three years ago Texas was constant.
ly in arrears. having something Ike a
million dollar deficit This deficit is
now turned into surplus in spite of
the fact that the state tax has been
reduced from 16 2-3 cents to - 1-2
cents. and now this year is further re-
duced TO S IA cents. This fact proves
more positively than any statistics the
wonderful growth of Texas as indi.
Gated by its taxable values. It will
also enable the state OF Texas during
the coming year to enlarge its scope

partments of education and tae care

BAD INDIANS TOOK
SHER|FFS PRISONER
Navajo Officer Captures indian
Burglar Who Is Rescued
BY Fellows.

While in Winslow, Thursday, Sher-
in Woods, got notice by an Indian
runner that the store of Dick Bruch-
man, about twelve miles north, had
been robbed by an Indian of the Nav
ito tribe, says the Holbrook Argus.
Mr.. Bruchman notified the sheriff that
he knew just where the Indian was.
Woods started at once for the scene
of trouble, but when he got to the
store and on going with Bruchman to
the Indian camp, it was found that
the bird had flown. The sherin and
two Indians took the trail and fol
lowed it for sixty-five miles. Through
mud, rain and darkness, there was
no shaking the pursuers, and at ten
the next morning the Indian was over
taken and placed under arrest. The
return trip was undertaken at once,
but when coming of the mesa, about
thirty-five miles from Bruchman's S
store. a band of ten Navajo's swept
down on the sheriff and his prisoners
and surrounded them so suddenly that
the sheriff hardly knew what was
meant. Then four more Indians, with
four loose horses rode up and de
manded the release of the prisoner,
saving they wanted to take him to
the agency at Leupp. They then put
| the prisoner on a fresh horse and
started away with him.
| The Indians were well armed and
well mounted and meant business
and the Indian scout that was with
Woods kept telling him to look out
or he would be killed. AS the sheriff
was confronted by overpowering mum
bers and would have to kill the lead
ers of the Indians TO no good cause
| he deemed it better to make vfr
ture of necessity and let the Nava
jos have their way. On arrival a
Bruchman's store, letter was sem
to the agent at Leupp telling hin
that the Indian must be given NJ
or the power of the county and tht
territory would be brought into the
deal. The Indian agent at once sur
rendered the fugitive and sent hin
under guard into Winslow.

NEW YORK, Sept S.-Tests are

the invention of DIR. ]. Gabrilowitch,
director of the Imperial Russian sani-
tarium for tuberculosis at Halila, Fin
land.
Two months ago, after 1aving tested
It's effects for more than year, DIR.
Gabrilowitch invited a few physicians
to make tests of the serum for the
purpose of confirming or disproyihs
the conclusions at which he had ar
revel. So successful have these tests
been. in America at least, that ar
rangements have been made with the
tuberculosis society of St. Petersburg
to furnish the serum in sufficient
quantities for the use of any physi-
clans and hospitals that may wish 10
try it.
While no public announcement has
been made as to how he makes the
serum, it Is known that it is based Oh
the so-caHed old tubercuion, discov-
cred BY Professor Robert Koch and
announced by him in 1880 as a cure
for tuberculosis.
Koch's serum, roweyer, caused in It's
use 50 many complications that It's
remedial value was almost nullified.

rify the Koch serum and has named

HINTS TO VOTERS
FROM 'COMMONER'
lTeputable Arguments Are
Advanced for Opposing
Republicanism,

The last issue OF @The Commoner,"
contains the following pertinent par
agraph, under the head. Hints 10
Voters
Before casting your vote with the
Republican party remember some Of
these things;
First-The failure Of the Repub-
lican party to take steps TO provide
for electing senators by popular vote,
and the refusal OF the Republican
convention to endorse the reform.
Second-The failure of the Repub-
lican congress to pass a bill providing
for publicity of campaign contribu-
tions aud the refusal of the Republi-
can convention even TO endorse the
reform.
Third-The failure of the Repub-
lican congress to pass a postal savings
bank bill and the hypocrisy of the
] party in endorsing this reform which
! it had just ignored in congress.
/ Fourth-The passage by the Repub-
lican congress of a currency bill which
enables speculative banks to convert
! all sorts of securities into currency
and actually reduces the margin of
safety for depositors instead of in
creasing It.
Fifth-The destruction of represent
ative government in the lower house,
where the Republican speaker and
| his committee on rules have all pow
er and not even majority can get a
vote on a popular bill if the speaker
refuses consent.
Sixth-The forty-nine per cent in
lcrease in the cost of living under the
Republican Dingley tariff and its
trusts, while wages have increased
only nineteen per cent.
Seventh-The refusal of the Repub-
ilican congress to amend this tariff al
though it's iniquities are admitted and
future revision has been reluctantly
promised by its friends after the
storm is over.
Eighfh-The notorious fact admit
led by Senator Aldrich, Republican
leader in the senate, that American
tariff protected concerns sell their
Iproducts abroad in competition with
European factories at lower prices
THAN they exact from American con
Isumers and the refusal of the Repub-
iican house of representatives to adopt
Ian amendment TO have our govern
tment agents on these prices.
Nintn-The republican leaders pre-
tend they favor a tariff sufficient only
to compensate factories for the differ
ence between labor costs in America
and abroad, but the fact is that the re
publican tariff is more than sufficient
to pay the whole labor cost. Or
steel products the labor cost fifteen
per cent and the tariff is thirty-twC
lper cent.

WHAT LINCOLN
HAD TO SAY
TO MINERS
Great War President, in Midst
of Strife, Sent Message to
Miners on the Day He Was
ASSaSSinated.

President Abraham Lincoln was
one of the few presidents of tne
United States who publicly showed an
interest in the mining industry, auf
who appreciated its great Importance
TO the general welfare of the nation.
Although raised In an agricultural
community, and although burdened
with tremendous responsibility of an
awful war, he yet had the time to
learn of the needs Of the miners, and
the forethought TO use his great in
fuence for the welfare of the mining
industry, as is evidenced in the fol-
lowing address to Speaker Colfax up
on his departure on trip TO the Pa
cific coast.
Mr.. Colfax, want you to take a
message for me 10 the miners whom
you visit l have very large ideas of
the mineral wealth of our nation. 4
believe it practically inexhaustible. 1t
abounds all over the western country,
from the Rocky Mountains to the Pa
cific, and its development mas scarce

We were adding couple of millions
OF dollars every day to our national
debt, did not care about encouraging
the increase in the volume of our
precious metals. We had the country
to save first. But now that the re-
bellion is overtarown, and we know
pretty nearly the amount Of our ma
tional debt, the more gold and sill
yer we nailie, We make the payment of
that debt so much easier. Now"
said he, speaking with more emphasis,
q am going to encourage that in ev-
cry possible way. We shall have
hundreds of thousands of disbanded
soldiers, and many nave feared that
their return home in such great num-
bers might paralyze industry, by fur
nishing. suddenly, a greater supply of
labor than there will be demand for.
I am going TO try 10 attract them to
