The kindergarten.

Every child who is now five years old,
or will be five years old by January l,
should be In one of the kindergartens.
The training received in the various
games, hand work, sense training, word
and sound drill toward the end of the
year is an indispensable preparation for
the work Of the first grade. Pupils who
have the kindergarten work always sur
pass those who have not had it, not only
in the first grade but in the grades that
follow. All children who are of proper
age should start now. in order that they
may have the advantage Of as much of
this foundation work as possible. Very

BoUTELL ON BRYAN.
Z His "shall tho People Ruler"
Simply "a Local Issuef"

q His "Shall tho People Ruler"
Simply "a Local 1ssuer"
Congressman Henry Sherman Bou-
tell Of Chicago, commenting on Mr..
Bryan's speech in Iowa, says:
Mr.. Bryan's question, "Shall the peo-
pie ruler" implies that somewhere In
this country the people do not rule.
The only States where the people do
not rule are the States that are ex-
pected to give overwhelming majorities
for the Democratic ticket. Perhaps
Mr.. Bryan thinks that his question is
purely - local ISSUE" If he is sin
cere, 1 challenge him to make a speech
In Vicksburg, Miss, on Government
BY the People" Let him repeat one of
his famous anti-imperialist speeches.
simply changing three words, substitut-
ing mississippi" for philippines" and
BLACK brothers" for brown brothers,
Let him suggest that we have as chair
man of his meeting John Sharp Will
liams, leader Of the Democrats in Con
gress, and as vice-chairmen the other
members Of the Congressional delega-
ton from Mississippi.
And after he has made his speech
in Vicksburg. IL he shall have escaped
the rule Of the people In that COM
munity, I dare Mr.. Bryan to repeat
his grafton on popular government In
Charleston. 8. c., with Senator Till
man As chairman Of his meeting. Mr..
Bryan's sentiments have q purely geo
graphical sincerity. His epigrams and
startling conundrums are especially de-
signed to meet local demands. OF this
nature are all his views on tariff and
taxation.
Mr.. Bryan's proposition that every
time q trust Is formed tariff sched-
ule should be repealed. and every time
a trust is dissolved q new duty should
be added, Is too funny even for comic
opera.
If on March 4 next Mr.. Bryan should
become President, with a Democratic
Congress in both houses. and should
actually place upon the statute books
the financial and economic vagaries de-
livered by him in his speech Of last
Friday, 1t would plunge the nation into
bankruptcy and bring on industrial
chaos. II he should begin by repeating
the duty on sugar to punish the sugar
trust, he would upset the national
finances BY losing $6O.OOOO00 a year
in revenues, and would stir up a revo-
luton in Louisiana, Utah, Colorado
and Michigan. Then, II he should re-
peal the duty on cotton goods. because
some hustling manufacturers Of New
England or the Carolinas were dump
ing goods in China in rivalry with Eng
land and Germany, he would divert
other millions from the treasury and
invite still further industrial ruin.
But. Of course. Mr.. Bryan would do
none Of these things, any more than
he will invade the solid South and sum-
mon the cohorts Of Democracy to the
defence of the Constitution with the
battle cry 'Shall the People Rule"
Mr.. Bryan simply does not mean what
he says. What he utters with Chad
bandian JUNCTION In the North he repudi-
ates with Pecksniflian duplicity in the
South.

Can't Disaf1ect tho Farmers.

The failure of Bryan's desperate at
tempts to curry favor with the farmers
is illustrated by the manner in which
he was received at CrookstOn, MINI.
According to Congressman Halvor Stew
enson the event went of as follows :
Organs speech at Crookston was a
great disappointment He actually lost
ground there for Democracy. Thous-
ands of people were there to hear him,
and waited till ten o'clock in the even
ing before he appeared. The address
was a narrow appeal to farmers. a
harangue, trying to prejudice them
against Republicanism. 1t didn't take
at all. Only once was there the slight
est symptom of applause. He spoke to

We learn from VIM. Burgess, o. g.
Agent for the Pswnees. the following
facts in reference to their contemplated
change OF abode. Barclay White, super
intendent of the Northern agency, and
B. Bush Roberto, one OF the board OF
special commissioners, were at the .es-
ervstion comforting with the Indians
from Monday to Thursday. inclusive, Of
last week, and placed before the Pswnees
the plan of the department Of the Inte-
rior and an agreement was had upon the
basis of the department plan which
agreement is considered in the nature of
q treaty. The chief stipulatiOns are,
that zen men from each band, with their
families, shall 60 to the unoccupied
lands belonging to the government, and
select a reservation-the tribe to abide
by the selection. The reservation will
be near the unoccupied part of the
Indian Territory, and east Of the Wichita
reservation. The other Indians are to
remain here until suitable arrangements
can be made for their removal. This
was part of the department plan; but,
as We understand, the superintendent
will recommend to the department that
the able bodied be allowed to 60 on q
hunt, in the direction of the proposed re-
servation, under the charge OF white
men, aud that after the hunt, they will
be near their new reservation with the
Wichitss. The Pawnees agree to sban-
don the chase and to take land in sever
atty for cultivation, each head of q family
one hundred and sixty acres. The Paw
nees ask the government to take mess-
'ures to put their reservation here on
the market, the proceeds to be applied
in furnishing them in their new home.
There, as here, they will be under the
charge Of the Society Of Friends, only
changing from the northern to the Gen.
trail superintendency, and it is especially
stipulated that outside men shall not 60
with them or live with them. 1t is not
supposed that the affairs Of the reserva-
ton here will be closed before q year at
least, and the work of the agency in
cultivsting land, etc., will 60 on as usual.

HELD ON CHARGE
OF MURDER

Curtis Hockenberry, who is
charged with numbering Percy M.
Schultz in his room at the Kaiser
hotel on the morning of Dec. s, was
bound over to the superior court
without bond this morning by
Justice Stocker. Joe Gregg. his
companion and the man who had
been rooming with him, is held in
the county Jail pending a decision
Of the justice on motion for dis
missal.
Schultz was street car con-
ductor. He was shot in his room
and there was evidence of desper-
ate struggle. Hockenberry and
Gregg were the first to reach the
scene. They occupied the adpoin-
ing room. AS soon as they gave the
alarm, they left the hotel for few
minutes, presumably to hide the
weapon. Detectives found an empty
80 calibre shell in their room. The
bullet extracted from the body of
the murdered man was Of 32 calibre.
This Is all the evidence the officers
have been able to secure.
