METHODS ARE WRONG
Chicago Woman Finds Fault With City
School System.

Chicago. Sept. 1S.-Poor teaching of dull
pupils costs Chicago an unnecessary ex-
penditure of S270,000 a year, according to
Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, superintendent of
education, who has made public a report
on the subject.
What we need is more superintendent,
not more superintendent, said Mrs
Young. Il have been gathering statistics
which show this waste for some time"
Mrs. Young went on to say she had OBJ
tanned figures, showing that 17,251 pupils
have to take the same work over two
years in succession and that aver
age of 526 pupils every year are taking
the same work for the third time. From
this, she argued there must be something
wrong with the method of teaching.
Il find said Mrs. Young, that adding
to IL, 251 twice 526, which is the number
of children who have to take the work
over three times, we have total of Is, 1903
pupils who waste one year Now dividing
that by forty-five, which is the average
number in a class, 1 find there are ap-
proximately 400 teachers who are wasting
their time teaching the same thing to the
same pupils for the second time The
average salary of these teachers is $500, so
the waste aggregates $3.50, 600
but 1 will take off % per cent, which
think is a fair estimate for cases which
could not be helped, and the money wasted
amounts to $270 000.''

RESCUE IS DELAYED.
Fntombed Miners Must Remain I'm

Leadville. Sept. 1S.-Hope of recov-
ering the three miners entombed in
the Morning Star shaft was dashed
today when another cavein occurred.
This will delay the rescue work an
other twenty-four hours. The pris-
onera are still in communication with
the surface through 800 feet of inch
pipe and want for nothing except
blankets. They are in good spirits de-
spite the cold of which they have
complained since the crum bling from
the rotten timbers last Saturday night.
They talked frequently with their
wives today Mrs. Caski, wife of one
of them, sent down the following note:
Dear Fred: Cheerful and be happy.
We are on top. baby and doing
everything to get you out. Don't be
discouraged"

SIX WERE KILLED.
And 200 Injured in Yesterdays Riots
at Vienna.

Vienna, Sept. 1S.-The city was
quiet today following a Sunday of riot
ing. The meeting of the socialists out
side the Rathhaus yesterday was in
protest against the high prices of the
necessaries of life and to demand that
the government permit the importa-
ton OF foreign meat and otherwise
control the sale of food products
The number of casualties cannot be
stated definitely but unofficial reports
are that six persons were killed and
more that 200 severely injured An
official account states that one per-
son was killed, sixty seriously injured
and several wounded.
A precautionary measure a po-
lice proclamation was issued, order
Ing that until further notice all
houses in the Ottakring district where
the disturbance was most serious, be
closed at o'clock in the evening and
all saloons and cafes closed at 9
o'clock. The leaders of the social
Democrats in a manifesto, declare
that the rioters were an undisciplin-
ed element of the city and exhort the
workmen to abstain from further de-
monstration and resume their work.

CUTS CIRCUS PRICES.
seIIs-FIoto win show in Topeka for
rs Cents.

The popular priced circus is an as
sured fact
Last season when the seIls-Floto
circus decided to cut the regular price
of admission in half those who thought
they knew the circus business best
voiced the opinion that such a move
meant nothing short of insolvency.
But the management of this magnffi-
cent enterprise were game enough to
try the experiment and the world to-
day knows how successful this new de-
parture has proved itself to be.
Last year the price of admission
was placed at IS cents said Arthur
Bennett, who is here representing the
promoters. $50 far back as the history
of the circus goes, double that amount
had always been charged At first
sight it seemed as if it would be i'm
possible to conduct any attraction
costing more than $4,000 a day to
operate successfully at the cut price
But Sells F'loto proved beyond a doubt
that the idea of popular prices when
applied to the circus was no idle
dream. but from an intensely business
standpoint, was possibly the wisest
move they could have made.
This season the 25 cent price will
be in force everywhere the Sells Floto
circus appears When we say IS cents,
we mean 25 cents No more, no less.
Wherever the tickets are on sale this
price Will prevail None of our en-
pIoyees are authorized to take any
more. We carry no so-called accom-
mediation wagons where a greater
sum is charged. The regular ticket
offices will be open at o'clock on
the day of every performance. Gen
any time will be honored either at the
matinee or evening.
The Sells Floto circus comes to To-
peka on Thursday, September 81.

Judge Whitcomh today called the
first of a list of nearly fifty state
cases for trial this term in the sec
ond division of the district court. The

report before October 1. In the first
division, work will start Wednesday
morning with a bunch of civil court
cases. Judge Dana will work on a big
assignment of these cases for at least
a couple of weeks before ordering the
jury to report for duty.
A jury was impanelled in Judge
Whitcomb's court this morning for the
trial of the case of the state against j.
Beverly, charged with grand larceny.
H G. Yost, neighbor of Beverly
bought a s45 bicycle late in June. The
night of July 3 Beverly borrowed the
machine and went to Alma. He forgot
to return the bicycle and was arrested
in Wabaunsee county and brought here
on a state warrant.

HIS DEATH AN ACCIDENT.
Coroner's Jury Verdict in Case of
Nebraska Stocl1nan.

The coroner's jury in the Marshall
D. Hammon case late Saturday after
noon decided that the Nebraska stock
man met his death by some unknown
accident There was no evidence in
troduced at the inquest which led to
the belief that Hammond's death was
due to foul play. The statement of a
daughter, who said her father had no
enemies and that the money and watch
found on his person were all he had
taken when he left home, upset any
possible theory of murder.
