cleanliness, greater ease Of manage

furthermore stated that smaller ovens

LOEB MAY BE CHAIRMAN

It is the generally expressed opinion
among wise politicians that II Presi-
dent Taft is renominated as the candi-
date for the presidency on the Repub-
lican ticket Collector Loeb, Of New
York, will be chairman of the Re-
publican National committee.
The story Of the rise Of William
Loeb Jr., is one Of hard work, an un-
conquerable determination to succeed,
backed by love for the political
game, combined with keen insight into
character.
Mr.. Loeb is Of German descent. The
straitened financial circumstances
Of his parents forced him to leave
school before he had finished the
course and prohibited any thought Of
Q college education. He took up the
study Of law, but finding that slow and
improbable he studied stenography
between times and later branched out
into shorthand reporting.

politics and worked hard for his dis.

the state is the reserve fund for ednca.

port of Commissioner Brinker, for the
year ending June 30
or this more than 100000 ia in tha
fund for the benefit of common schools
and the rest for the different eduoa-
tional institutions of the state. This
fund has accumulated from the sale of
about 100000 acres of the many million
acres by the state, and when the lands
are all cold the fund from which the
schools will receive an income will be
many times ten millions.
The income from this fund sent to
the counties for the benefit of the com.
mon schools for the last fiscal year was
$780, 5,5S, or at the rate Of S4.4s for
each pupil in the schools of the state,
which materially helped in the reduo.
tion of local taxation for schools. This
was sl7S,5O44S in excess of the amount
sent out in the proceeding year.

ture, through which all lands of tho
state for lease, whether for grazing or
agricultural purposes, must be leased
at percentage of the appraised price.
there has been decided increase in
returns from leases oyer previous
years, the receipts from that source

system of arbitrary lease rates fixed BY
the state board.
The question of indemnity selections
where Indian allottees have taken the
state sections is discussed, and Com
missioner Brinker states it as his opin.
ion that the interests of the state and
people generally would be best guarded
by allowing indemnity selections in
in large compact bodies, rather than in
scattering sections, as there is little
left to select from above rough grazing
lands.

ATTEMPT LIFE

EVENING.
WOUND IS NOT SERIOUS
JOHN SCHRANK, NEW YORK ANAR.

SHOOTING.

The entire country WAS shocked
Monday evening when word was flashed
over the wires that Col. Theodore
Roosevelt had been shot while making
a speech at Milwaukee A New York
John Scbrank, WAS respon-
sible for the deed. The following press
dispatch regarding the Colonel's CON
dition is very encouraging and there
is slight doubt but. that he will recover.
Chicago, Illinois. October 18th: Col.
Theodore Roosevelt, his family with
him, and satisfied as to his condition
today rests at greater ease than at any
time since the hand of John Schrsnk
WAS lifted against his life in Milwaukee
Monday night.
Physicians, examining his wound and
making a complete clinical examina-
tion, found his pulse, respiration and
temperature nearer normal than at
any time since he was shot, and so
nearly at usual points that concern
over his condition vanished. Their ex.
tremely conservative conduct gave way
to desire to establish public assur-
ance that no complications now ure
looked for.
Mrs. Roosevelt. Miss Ethel and Theo.
dore jr., arrived early in the day and
went st .once to his apartment with
Mrs. Alice Longworth and DIR. Alexan-
der Lambert, the family physician in
New York.
"Hello" shouted the colonel galley,
when Mrs. Roosevelt appeared in his
dooway, laughing.
When the other members Of his fam
lily appeared, the same CHEEKY grin met
them at the doorway and he asked
them to draw up chairs to his bedside
and 'gossip with him."
Mrs Ro0eyelt has been provided
with an apartment adjoining and con.
nected with the patients room, and she
will remain there during his stay at
Mercy hospital.
