Curriculum of the High School.

In the October 2nd edition Of the Mil
waukee Free Press there was published
the address made by Ex-Governor w.
d. Hoard before the meeting of city
superintendent Of schools at Madison.
October /
He made a strong plea for the high
school students. We feel thar his
speech should be read By every man in
this country who has any influence in
the making Of our schools.
Mr. Hoard argued that thousands of
young men are losing their opportuni-
ties simply because they do not obtain
in the high school, that training which
will prepare them for hfe's battles, but
only receive that education which pre-
pares them for the university, an insti-
tuition where only a few may go.
As Mr.. Hoard only too truly stated
1.-THE curriculum of the high school is
based upon the necessities of the uni
versity to an extent in my opinion that
is subversive of the best interests of
the great majority Of pupils in the
high schools, "

regarded by everybody as a civillzlng
work. The old notion, that the only
good Indian is dead one, is not the
motive of the work of making new 1--we
Indians to take the places of those VINO
had died during the many years IN
which the death rate was exceeding
the birth rate among nearly all the
tribes. But it is the policy of the
government, and it is certain to be
justified in its economic results, as It
is already justified from a civilized
humanitarian point of view. 1t may
be possible, during the course OF this
generation, to abolish the Indian Of

machinery. Indians are now not only
farmers, though farming is the work
to which most of them naturally have
turned. They are drifting into the
trades and the professions, and their
skill in athletics has been proven in
various ways to be of a high order.

twenty-five Years Ago.

Mr.. Joseph Polkinghorn, instructor

The 50th anniversary of the wedding
of Mr.. and Mrs. Matthew Bennett was
eommemorated by family gathering

The news Of the death of VIM. Hol-

the l4th inst, has been received at
this Office, but without any particulars.
Deceased was a brother of Mrs. Bot

The Democratic torch light process
sion in this city on Tuesday evening
was quite attractive. but considering
the efforts put forth by many, it ought
to have been much larger.
AS sad piece of news as has been
freighted over the wires leading to this
city for many years was chat announc-
ing a serious accident which mains for
life Mr. John S. Wilkinson, fireman on
the c. M. & St. p railway. The ac-
cident occurred at the GAINESVILLE yards

Political Trick That Failed.

New York Press.
All the tricks in the game of politics
are not played by the professionals,
which a little incident Of the San Fran
cisco battle between the Spreckels-
Heney and Calhoun forces proves. Vot-
ers received in their mail a circular
asking where they stood on the ques-
ton of continuing the prosecution of
the traction and other officers. There
were several questions with blanks for
the replies, and a stamped envelope
inclosed. The voter was told that if
for any reason he did not care to give
his name, he might answer the ques-
tions and mail the reply without re-
vealing his identity
Through some accident or through
the examination Of tie literature by
some extremely suspicious individual,
it was found that under the stamp on
the return envelope were written the
initials and district number of the per-
son TO whom an anonymous reply was
sent This meant, of course, that
every man from whom an anonymous
reply was received could be identified
by the marks under the stamps, which
would be washed off. The purpose to
which such information could be put,
in the stress of the struggle still rag
ing in San Francisco, We're obvious.
There was an immediate exposure of
the clever trick, and thousands of per-
sons who might have unwittiugly re-
vealed their prejudices, to the advan-
tage Of those desiring to know where
they stood, were warned of the job.

CURES REMOVE DOUBT
ABOUT ECZEMA CURE
Read What Your Druggist Says
About oil OF Wintergreen
Compound.

Druggist Chas |. Ivey submits the
following to the readers of the Tribune:
For several years we have announced,
with our recommendation, that we had
found a positive cure for eczema; a
simple skin wash, oil of wintergreen
compounded with other healing ingre-
dents.
Yet we know there are people right
in this city who have eczema, and still
never tried this remedy.
We have, therefore, arranged with
the D. D. D. Laboratories of Chicago
for a special offer of a trial bottle at
Is cents instead of the 81 bottle as
regularly sold.
We offer this trial bottle with our
recommendation and assurance that
just as soon as the patient washes his
itching skin, this mild liquid will take
the itch away instantly.

Civilizing the Indian.

ST Louis Glohe.Democrat.
Our brother in red is not "a striking
proof of the theory that civilization
tends to race suicide. The Indian is
multiplying under the influence of civ
ilizatiou, as he gets it. The more
civilization, the more Indians in the
West. If this process could be carried
on to what some people may claim to
be it's logical results, the results might
be the return of che Indian, thriving
under civilization, to the possession Of
the land if the theory Of white race
suicide was more tenable than it is,
None Of the present generation Of
either whites or reds can hope to see
il carried as far as that
The official figures are interesting
none the less. The Indian population
of the United States has increased
about 10000 during the last twenty
years. Within that time approximate
" 500, 600, GOO has been expended by
the government in works designed to
give the Indians the opportunities and
the necessary means and appliances
for learning how to work, which is
about the best means Of ciyiliaing any
