CHILDREN IN Wild PANIC
Fire at Christmas Feast Causes STAN.
pede-Youngsters Trampled On
and Cut.

Echo, Mimi, Dec. 27.-The peril of
panic ushered in the celebration of
Yuletide here, and it is nothing short
Of a miracle that somber tragedy did
not result when the gas generator con-
nected with the lighting plant in the
Methodist Episcopal church took fire
and caused wild stampede of hun
dred or more frightened women and
children, all of whom luckily managed
to get out alive, though some were Sc
verely cut by glass.
The work of dressing the tree had
just received it's finishing touches
when the generator burst into flames
almost directly in the path of the tree
and its flimsy, infammable decora-
lions.
Immediately there was a wild
stampede for the doors, and as the
crowd became damned in it the more
badly frightened of the women and
children began jumping through the
windows. Some of these were badly
cut, and those who were unfortunate
enough to fall were trampled on by the
frenZied crowd.
The blaze which caused the panic
was put out without much difficulty
and before any damage had been done
to the church itself.

EARTH TREMBLES IN MONTANA
Seismic Disturbances in Vicinity of Viz.

Alarm.

Virginia City, Mont, Dec. %. - At
4:SO o'clock yesterday afternoon this
section was shaken by the severest of
a series of seismic disturbances that
have been going on for more than a
week. The electric power and light
plant was put out of commission.
This plant is located ten miles dis
tant from Virginia City, and as tele-
phonic communication with it has
been interrupted, it is impossible at
this time to ascertain the extent OF
the damage done.
Virginia City was in darkness last
night and much alarm existed. Dur
ing the past week Virginia City has
experienced more than thirty earth
quakes, in which the earth movement
was very pronounced. Last Monday
two shocks within ten minutes OF
each other drove the people into the
streets panic-stricken, caused cracks
in several buildings and dislodged
considerable plaster.

UNIVERSITY NEEDS MORE.

President Van Hise of Wisconsin ASKS
SoIons for Increased Appropriations.
In his biennial report to the leglsla-
ture President C. r. Van Hise OF the
University of Wisconsin recommends
an increase in salaries OF university
professors. He says that the cost OF
living has increased more rapidly than
the salary scale of the university, and
cites Minnesota, Harvard and Yale as
examples where such increases are
recognized as a basis of new scale
of salaries.
He also suggestsan increase In per-
manent income owing to the RAPID
growth and development of the uni
versity.
The report also recommends that
the permanent educational improve
ment appropriation of 100000 year
be enlarged to 100000. To carry out
satisfactorily the plan of providing dor
n,itories for students declares the re-
mort. the present appropriation OF
100000 should be enlarged to $780,
600.

The State Day by Day
SCHOOL SYSTEM is FAULTY.
Too Many Changes in Teaching Forces
Profession of Superintendents
Needed.

Too Many Changes in Teaching Forces
Profession of Superintendent
Needed.
Deploring the tendency of men to
leave the teaching profession after a
few years, and declaring that the av
erage high school education is worth
$4,000, State Superintendent c. P.
Carr's biennial report to the governor
is distinctive among the reports of his
predecessors. Among other things he
recommends a change in the method
of electing county superintendent a
betterment Of the township and rural
schools and that limit be placed on
the aid given to high schools.
THE high school directory of 1907
8 contained 1853 Names" says the re-
port of Mr. Cary. "Of these 527 were
of teachers new in their positions.
This means that only sc of the SIT
changes were due to the employment
of additional teachers, and that 461 or
40 per cent of 1,153 teachers of the
year 1867 either left teaching or
changed their positions.
while a certain amount of change
is unavoidable and is desirable in any
healthy and growing system, the per
centage indicated above is altogether
too great, and would be considered al
most luminous in a commercial or
manufacturing establishment. We're
the changes mainly confined to the
subordinate positions the results
would be less detrimental, but this is
not the case; "a Of the 268 principals,
or 81 per cent were also new. No ar
gument is needed to show the detrl-
mental effects of such a policy in the
management of the schools"
Mr.. Cary then declares that such
policy IS wasteful, and adds that the
time of the school child is most valu-
able and demands the greatest tract
and judgment.
He then says that salaries are as
good for beginners as for experienced
teachers, and often people teach LOT
one or two years to determine what
profession they would like to follow
later. Under all these circumstances
he concludes it is no wonder there IS
lack of permanency, with low salaries,
short terms of employment and an en-
tire lack of provision for old age. The
employment of inexperienced teachers
for responsible positions should be dis
couraged, he says.
A better system of country schools
would be accompanied by certain
changes. according to the recommends
tions of the state superintendent ap-
pointed from a board of directors
elected by the people. This would re-
suit in the selection of competent
school man, and not one who devoted
Dart of his time to farming or the
practice of law. It would follow much
the same methods as is now employed
in the selection of city superlntend-
entS.
For more than forty years the pres
ent system has been in use In the
state" he says, "and it has failed to
give us a profession of county superln-
tendents and never until such pro-
fession exists will the county superln-
tendency be what it should be-

WISCONSIN TO TAX INCOMES.
Constitutional Amendment Lays Hard
Upon State Legislators.

The adoption at the recent election
of the constitutional amendment reso-
luton for an income tax places the
duty of enacting a law for the collec-
ton and payment of income taxes
on the coming legislature. 1t is gen
orally conceded that this will be found
to be the most difficult piece of work
that body has had carved out for 1t.
While the work will probably be left
to the senate judiciary committee, al
most every member will have some
suggestion to make, and it is probable
also that public hearings will be grant
ed so as to get what the public in gen.
eral feels should be the lines along
which the law should hew.
One of the questions on which opin-
ions are widely divided is that of MAX
ing the tax apply to minimum in
comes. In many parts of the state
tax On incomes under $4,000 is de-
clared to be burdensome, while in 9TH
err sections a feeling predominates
that in full justice to everybody every
income, no matter how small, should
be taxed on a grauated scale.
Closely related with the income tax
legislation at this time is the desire
of many counties to have the present
inheritance tax law revised so as to
give counties in which such taxes are
collected the benefit. Under the pres
ent law counties receive from to 5
and the state 95 per cent of all taxes
collected on inheritances. This is con-
sidered a manifest injustice and has
led to a winking at the law in so far
that small efforts are being made to
get at all taxable inheritances. With
a division On a more equitable basis, 1t
is predicted that the county officials
will be more apt to trace all inherl-
tances with the object of putting them
On the tax lists. 1t is generally sug'
gested that a half and half division
would be more fair than the present
distribution.-W.

Searchers Party Finds Missing CIer-
gyman's Body in Pool of Blood.
Fargo, N. D., Dec 80. - When he
failed to arrive at church, where the
congregation had assembled for Sun
day morning worship, a searching
party was formed to locate Rev. Rob
ert L. Dougherty pastor of the Congre-
gatiOnal church at Buchanan, N. D.,

the minister in a pool Of his own

That he had committed suicide was
established beyond a doubt, the razor
with which he had accomplished the
deed being gripped in the cold hand of
the victim, while nearby was found
rambling note half explaining the deed
This note was evidently written Dec
%, when he borrowed a revolver from
a neighbOr, and at which time his
courage must have failed him.
His action had been under the sur
yeillance of people of Buchanan, who
were not satisfied that he was in his
right mind.
