REVOLT IN CAROlINEs
Nine German Overseers Killed
by the Natives.
Hacked to Pieces After Putting Up a
Gallant Fight-Missionary Is
Among the Victims.

The steamer Zelandia brought to
Victoria, B. c., reports of q revolt
suppressed by German warships on
Ponape island, in the Carolines.
The rising started from the punish
ment OF a native workman. The Ger
man overseers took shelter for time
in Catholic mission, which the ma
tives placed under siege. The de-
tenders, nine in number, all Germans,
were eventually killed.
Father Gerhard, the missionary,
was killed when seeking to leave the
mission, and the overseerers were
hacked to pieces after gallant fight
on the beach, where they attempted
to launch boat.

love and know the insects, the flowers,

you will be doing a great service to

tended that early instruction about
Julius Caesar and events that happen
ened in ancient days have their place,
but, in his judgment, practical teach
ing about the country is being neglect
ed and too much time is being devot-
ed to obsolete men and things. This
suggestion brought "a storm of ap-
plause from the farmer members of the
legislature, and it also is an interest
ing fact that the members from the
city districts, even Milwaukee, smiled
their approval The early discussion
on education has been devoted to a
bill proposing county board of ed
ucation and the appointment by this
board of a county superintendent
in favor of the appointment of county
superintendent by county board of
education. 1t has been his experience,
he said, that under the old system
considerable pressure Is brought to
bear on the candidate for the county
superintendent by persons who wish
to influence him in the matter of is
suing teachers certificates. BY re-
moving the office from politics, he be-
lieves, less pressure of this character
will be brought to bear and the re-
suit in general will be helpful to ed
ucation.

SPEAKS FOR RECIPROCITY
First Gun in the Battle Is Fired b,
Senator Beveridge.

The first gun in the fight over Cana
dian reciprocity was fired in the sem
ate. Senator Beverage of Indiana,
an insurgent, was the marksman, and
he lined up on the side of the admins
tration. He did not assume to repre-
sent others of the progressive Repub-
lican camp.
The Indianian presented strong ar
guments to show that the natural re-
sources of Canada might be depended
upon to reduce the cost of living in
this country and to replenish the loss
suffered by the premature destruction
of American resources.

Subject-Attorney General
Eancroft's Request.

Madison, Wis. Feb. 14.-Special-
A series of bills aimed to give the boys
in Wisconsin-the children of today
and the men of tomorrow better
chance in life, are pending in the
Wisconsin legislature. While meas
ures involving workmen's compensa-
ton, guaranty of bank deposits, con-
servation of the waterpowers and kim
dred subjects of great Importance, &C.
cupy the center of the stage at pre-
sent, the education bills are beginning
to attract general interest as re-
suit of a series of joint hearings be-
ing held in the assembly chamber. To
take the school and it's supervision
out of politics as much as possible
and to add strength to the teaching
force in the common school is one OF
the distinct aims of this legislature.
Between IS and So per cent of the boys
of this state never reach the high
school In addition to lack of educa-
ton most of the boys are handicapped
by lack of money. The great MAORI
ty come from the poor families, and
it is these boys that the legislature is
trying to help and give square deal.
This will be done by strengthening
the common schools and establishing
a system of industrial education.

POSTAL SAVINGS PLAN

WASHINGTON, Nov. THE con-
tention OF New York bankers that de-
positors OF the postal savings banks.
who convert their savings into bonds
are forced TO accept heavy loss on
their investment or hold the bonds
until the government chooses to re-
deem them, was not treated seriously
by postofice oficials here today. The
department holds that the majority of
purchasers OF postal savings bonds
prefer 10 invest with the government 8
protection and guarantee o. 2 IL per-
cent interest and expect to wait until
the bonds reach maturity for their re-
demption.
The bonds are not intended to be
placed on the market and the heavy
majority OF purchasers do not want to
negotiate them" said an official today.
This is shown by the fact that OF the
applications received at the last issue,
Julv |. $4,000 worth were applied for
in registered form out Of the $4,000
issue This clearly demonstrates the
