College Notes
STATE NORMAL SCHOOL,,
MAYVIluE

The picnic of week ago proved so
Measurable that several undertook to
arrange one for last Saturday, with
the result that about sixty spent the
latter part of the afternoon in the
Schlosser woods just by town. Sup
per was spread, sports were INDUCED
in, camp fires built, Indian dances ex-
ecuted and ghost stories told. The
event was very pleasurable and such
as tends to make the school work rel
ished the better.
Mrs. Hillyer and infant son Robert,
Morse, continue to do nicely. The boy
is fine one and we'll worth being
proud Of.
Several of the faculty have recent
ly enjoyed auto rides through the gea-
crosby of Mr. W. H. Robinson. 1t
is needless to say that these parties
are very grateful and most thoroughly
appreciated the favor.
Mr.. Pope went to Minnewaukan and
Churchs Ferry during the latter part
of last week with Superintendent
Kern, who lectured at these places on
Industrial Education in the rural
schools. Mr.. Pope operated the Ian
tern for Mr.. Kern, using the Normal
school lantern.
Miss Mary Copley, of Manhattan,
Kas., arrived last Wednesday morn
ing to visit her sister, Mrs. Cornell.
The fifth week of the summer school
is gone and we are on the last lap.
Students are looking forward to the
completion of the work with view
toward certificates.
The teachers of the three counties,
Trail, Steele and Nelson, have held
receptions recently in honor OF their
respective superintendent. The
Steele county teachers met formally
in the gymnasium of the normal
school building on August the 18th.
The evening was pleasantly spent in
various amusements after which light
refreshments were enjoyed. In behalf
of the teachers of the county Miss An
ma Aason; in a neat presentation
speech, presented Mr.. Miller with a
set of military brushes set in sterling
silver backs. Mr.. Miller was greatly
pleased at the esteem in which it was
evident that his teachers hold him and
expressed his appreciation of this es-
TEEN and the token of it in a few
well chosen words. He in turn, ex-
pressed his appreciation of the good
work done by the teachers in his
schools in the county.
A second meeting of the same kind
occurred when the teachers of Nelson
county met in honor of Superinten-
dent Skrivseth, in the same place.
All were on hand at $3.50 P. M. and
were received by committee OF
three. A half hour was given to the
renewing of acquaintance and at 900
an enjoyable program was given, as
follows:

PAY ONLY TO INSURED.
In Event of Death Of Original Holder
Policy Must be CHANGED.

Lansing. Mich, July 13-Under the
laws Of Michigan an insurance com
pany can not be held liable for the
total loss where property is destroyed
by fire when the property is held
jointly and the policy is made out in
favor of one party. according to In
surance Commissioner Barry. who
states that this question has come be-
fore him for settlement many times In
the past year.
Two cases came to the attention of
the commissioner Monday. which en-
phasizes~ the necessity of close atten-
tion to fire insurance policies. In the
southern part of the state two farm
ers had insurance on their property
I'm a Farmer Mutual company. Both
men died suddenly and the policies
which had been made out In their
names were not changed. Fire later
damaged the property on one farm to
the extent of $1,4OO and the other loss
reached $500. The company holds
that inasmuch as the policies were not
changed after the death of the origi-
nal holder that 1t is not obliged to
pay the widows. Insurance Commits
soner Barry affirms the decision OF
the company.

DIRI CIBLE BA LLO0N BURSTS
Bodies Of Men Terribly Mutilstsd and

Leichlingen, Rhenish Prussia. July
13.-Oscar Erbsloeh, a German aero
naut, who won the International bal
loon race at St. Louis in 1907. and four
companions, were killed today when
the dirigible balloon of Erbsloeh burst
at a height of several hundred feet
and dropped to earth crumpled mass
The cause OF the accident is a mat
ter OF conjecture, but it Is believed
the bursting of the bag was due TO
an expansion OF gas by the warm sun
shine.
The wreckage fell so heavily that the
gondola was broken to bits and the mo-
tor buried in the ground. The victims
were frightfully torn.
An examination of the wreckage
showed the benzine tank had burst,
tearing to shreds the rubber envelope
directly above it, The destruction
Of this envelope caused the bow TO
collapse. The stern compartment was
still filled with gas when 1t struck
the ground.
The aviators' bodies were terribly
mutilated. their heads battered In and
every limb broken.

ALASKAN CENSUS
BALKS THE U.S..
WORK CANNOT POSSIBLY BE
COMPLETED BEFORE ANOTHER
SPRlNG-Is DIFFICULT
AND DANGEROUS.

Seattle, Wash, July is.-The Alaska
census. including the enumeration OF
all the inhabitants of the northern
territory, may not be completed be-
fore next spring, according to A. N.
Evans, in charge OF the bureau of edu-
cation.
The entire census viii not be finish
ed along the coast before winter be-
cause of the difficulty of finding any
one at home. The residents Of the
coast towns and villages either are Off
the coast on islands Agaged in fish
ing and canning salmon and other fish.
The work of counting the people in
Alaska was begun last October with
a view of getting all the white people
, during the winter season, when they
usually are idle.
Th stampede 10 the newly discov-
cred gold diggings drew hundreds
from each camp. and the census TAX
ers were compelled to follow the min
ers to the interior to get the required
data.
The most difficult district for the
enumerators and where the influence
of the bureau of education has been
| least felt Is i'm the Kuskokwin region.
Here the work of the census takers
was i'm the hands of DIR. c. ID. Scott
Untold hardships were endured by the
doctor, who Travelled over 5000 miles
to obtain data. He lost three guides
and forty dogs on the trail. In all he
counted less than 500 souls. The trip
required seven months and he was
paid SIS per diem by Uncle Sam for
his work.
In the districts where governmen;
agents never have had dealings with
the natives. the Eskimos We're dis
trustful and would not give the infor-
nation to the interpreters They often
carried the white men and their ma
tive takers out of their camps by
force and set their dogs on them.
The people of the Diomedes islands.
the North Arctic coast east of the St
/ Lawrence islands. and the Nunivak is
lands have not been counted because
IL has been impossible for govern
ment revenue cutter To get through the
northern ice fields since September.
It is estimated. according to the in
formation already collected. that the
northern territory will show more than
double the number of people II did
ten years ago. in spite of the fact that
in 1900 the population was greatly in
creased by the Klondike gold stam-
pede.
The Alaskan census will cost Uncle
sam more than II did i'm the great
state of Iowa. High wages were paid
enumerators i'm Alaska for riskine
their lives to get the required infor-
nation. and dogs. guides and the in
terpreters have had to be employed TO
successfully get through the many I'M
pediments on all sides.

CAUSING THE NAVY CONCERN.
Defects in Armor Of New 6attleships
Are Discovered.

Washington, ID. c.. July 13.-Defects
discovered in the armor OF the battle
ships North Dakota and Utah are
causing the navy no little concern
and will cost someone about $4,000
IL was determining who should pay
this expense that the true state OF
affairs was made public. Representa-
tive of the New York ship Building
company. the Midvale Steel company
and government experts have been en-
gagged in attempting to place the blame
for the defective armor. 2
The trouble is what is technically
known as spalls, a fiaky condition that
impaired the armament resistance eff

both of Uncle Sans latest dread
noughts and fifty tons OF armor. rep
resenting approximately $4,000. have

PAROLE MAY FREE $50.
New Federal Law viii Be Put Into
Effect Soon.

Washington ID. c.. July 13.-Three
hundred and fifty federal prisoners
probably will be out on parole before
the expiration of a year. The depart
ment of justice Is Fastening to put
into effect the law enacted i'm
the closing days of Congress in refer
ence to the parole of men now serving
time.
1t is preparing to constitute boards OF
parole for three United States peni-
tentiaries in Atlanta. Ga. Leaven-
worth, Kan. and Mcneil Island Each
board will consist of a superintendent
Of prisons, a department of justice and
a United States district judge for a
citizen OF the community in which the
penitentiary is located.
The boards must investigate person.
ally each case. If it shall be convinced
of a reasonable probability that any
prisoner who applies for parole will
not violate any law. that his release is
not incompatible with the welfare of
society. then his liberty may be grant
ed
If John r. Walsh should fail to OBJ
tain pardon for which he Is about
to apply, he shortly will be eligible TO
parole. The law provides that before
an application for pardon may be con-
sidered the prisoner must have served
one third of his term and must have
a good conduct record during the en-
tire period.
Reports received at the department
of justice give Wash good record.
His attorneys are hopeful this may
have some influence with the president
in connection with the consideration
OF walsh's application for pardon. IL
is doubtful, however, IL any OF the
grounds on which Walsh will reinforce
his application will be strong enough
to induce the president to pardon him.

Draft of Program for National
Convention Seems to Present
Only the Pinchot Side Of
Great Argument.
MUCH TURMOIL HAS RESULTED
Local Committee in Charge Of Ar
rangements Wants Fair Play -
Will Insist Ballinger Side Also
Is Represented.

st. Paul, Mimi, July 13.-Someone
has been trying TO parade the ghost
Of the Pinchot- Ballinger controversy
through the sessions of the hugh ma
tional conservation congress in st.
Paul this fall and turmoil has re-
has been organized and is ready to go
to work, but pending some word from
the leaders of the conservation con-
gress, nothing beyond the sending of
invitations will be done until the Min
nesota conservation leaders and the
members OF the st. Paul Minneapolis
general committee know whether Bran
deis. Madison and several others are
to be on the official program. Some
criticism of President Pinchot has been
indulged in but the prevailing opin-
ion is that until there is some official
word which has not yet come, the ma =
tional officers should not be placed
i'm the light of having countenanced
an attempt to shut Mr.. Ballinger's side
OF the recent battle out of the de-
llDeratlOnS OF tne cOnBTtSS.
But one copy of the official pro-
gram of the congress has been seen In
st. Paul and that took its departure
with Secretary Thomas Shipp when the
latter left hurriedly for Milford, Pa,
to confer with Mr.. Pinchot. The crit
icism of the local committee is that
this draft of the program seemed to
give prominence To the Pinchot side
of the controversy.
Ralph w. wheelock. secretary tc
Governor A. o. Eberhart, president OF
the Minnesota Conservation congress
and general chairman OF the commit

congress. summarizes the situation In
this official statement.
"The northwest is sick and tired
of the whole Pinchot- Ballinger fight
We served notice weeks ago I'm Wash
ington that we would not consent &c
the bringing of any phase of this fight
into the coming congress. If we must

The local committees wish To see Q

equal opportunities 10 men OF all views
which will not introduce unnecessary
and embarrassing debates and which
will emphasize practical conservation

TEXAS ELECTION
CONTEST BITTER
PROHIBITION ONE OF PRINCI.
PAL ISSUES IN HOT FIGHT IN
DEMOCRATIC RANKS IN
LONE STAR" STATE

Austin, Texas. July 13.-The cam
paign for the Democratic gubernator-
ial nomination, which has kept all
Texas i'm political turmoil for many
weeks, entered upon its final stage
today. Ten days hence the contest
for the governorship and for other
State officers as well will be decided
at the general primary election. With
the many candidates for office on the
stump, together with Senator Bailey
and all the other prominent party
leaders who are interested in the out
come, a whirlwind finish to the cam
paign is promised.
The campaign has been one of the
most partisan i'm the history of the
Commonwealth and has attracted wide
attention because of the unusual Bit
terness of the contest for the govern
orship and also from the fact that
the question of prohibition has been
the leading issue in the fight.
There are four leading entrants In
the gubernatorial race, namely: Will
lam Poindexter, Robert Vance David
son. @. b. Colquitt and Cone Johnson.
A fifth entry, James Martin Jones, Is
not expected to cut much figure in the
result of the contest.
There is no radical difference i'm the
platforms of the four men who are
waging a fight for the nomination for
governor, except on the prohibition
question. Poindexter and Johnson are
expected to divide the prohibition
vote while Davidson and Colquitt are
looked upon as the standard-bearers
of those opposed to Statewide prohib-
| ition.
While the prohibition question Il
stir the overshadowing issue, Senator
Joseph w. Bailey is considered an inn
portant factor when il comes to tho
support that the different candidates
are receiving. Senator Bailey has al
lowed the impression to become prev
alent that he prefers the nomination
of Mr.. Poindexter for governor. or

that Poindexter was placed in th'
race for governor at the instance o

the Bailey followers will be divided
between Poindexter and Colquitt, ac
