Dc. 27.-Joseph King, United N States game waroon for Alaska. who has returned from the north. says that the law for protection of wild animals, is generally obeyed except the provision which provides for a closed season for the great brown bear which is utterly ignored and for a good reason.

 "In every native village in the Alaskan peninsula, the aborigines show scars which have resulted from conflicts with brown bears that roam in large numbers through that sec ton of the north and many of them have sacrificed thair lives in battles wi.h the animals"

A huge boulder, weighing at least 800 pounds becoming disIodged m some manner, rolled down the noun tain side above the Shattuck-Arizuna mine Monday and crashed through the wall of the company office like it was an egg shell. It did not stop until it had rolled half way across the 1Ioo~.
 In the the rear room of the office at the time, were Harry Miller and Mir. Vantress, bookkeepers for the company. It was a mere coincidence. ii is stated, that neither was in the front room at the time. Upon a table against which the Boulder stopped, were a number of delicate and extremely valuable instruments. wSich, had they been broken would have caused a loss of at Ieas; e2,0O0.

 question tonight as to what attitude
 he would assume should Knox seek

 Zelaya said that American marines  engaged in several recent battles in Nicaragua. and that twenty of them had been killed. He said: Do you know there were 400 Americans fight ing with the insurgents at Rama? Do you know that at the battle of Cobra do Junction, November l, the bodies of twenty American marines were picked up by our forces, all dead, all from American gunboats anchored in the river to protect American inter- ests. The official explanation was that these men were deserters."
 Zelaya declared that ou Decembe- 20. 1907. he wired Washington of his willingness to retire from the presl- dency and from politics altogether. if ! of the five states could ! be brought about.

A Great School.

The recent summer term Of the
State Normal School of Kirksville
enrolled more than 600 teachers
and had $50 of them present in
the closing program August 18th,
thus breaking all records. Out
Of over one hundred graduates all
but three have positions such as
they desired and the School has
calls for more than fifty teachers
in high schools and rural schools
that it can not furnish. Some
thirty or forty of the graduates
had offers Of from three to five
good positions each. 1t is evident
that the demand for teachers next
year will still be greater than the
supply. Hence great prepare
tions are made for teachers
courses in the coming year.
There will be numerous classes
in the advanced phases of good
old fashioned Arithmetic, Gram
mar, History, Composition, Let
ter Writing, etc.
The Commercial Department
will be crowded with ambitious
students learning Shorthand,
Bookkeeping, Commercial Geo
graphy, Typewriting, etc.
Seventy-fve teachers took
work in the laboratories of the
Agriculture Department during
the summer. It's Library,
