Should Not Disagree on School Matters.

Progressive Farmer.
However much the good citizens OF
community may differ in matters
political or in things religious, they
certainly ought to agree on uniting
their efforts and their means in
building up and maintaining in their
midst the best schools possible. In
such cooperation there is not only
strength and ecsaomy, but therein
hes the only opportunity for the citi-
zens of the community to make their
local school really efficient.

People Are Tired of Political Bosses.

Aberdeen Examiner.
1t is getting to be understood all
over the country that the people are
tired Of congressional or gubernato-
rial bosses. They are insisting that
governors shall not attempt to jnflu-
ence congressional or senatorial cam
paigns except when they themselves
are candidates, and that congress
men shall not take active part in
senatorial primaries, or senators
take active part in congressional
primaries. In other words, they
have concluded that the rank and
file of the party are capable of look
ing after their own affairs without
] 'ssing or dictation from governors,
senators or represen tatives who are
not themselves candidates.

 of Stealing Her Husband.

Paris, July 31.-Mme. Bloch, a story writer and contributor to children's s papers. today proceeded to the home of Mrs. Bridgeman, the wife of James E. Bridgeman, an employee of the Paris agency of the New York Life Insurance company, and shot her dead. Mrs. Brfdgeman, who was separated from her husband, resided in an apart ment in the Rue Vignon under her maiden name of Gerhard. She was a daughter of Henry Gerhard of Mill Waukee.
 The tragedy was the outcome of an attachment between Mime. Bloch s husband and Mrs. Bridgeman. Mime. Bloch, who remained quite cool and composed after the shooting, seemed to be well satisfied with what she had done She told the police that Mrs. Bridgeman had made her life almost unbearable for two years. Before killing Mrs. Bridgeman. Mime. Bloch read to her letters which her husband had written to her, indicating that he had affections for her, but Mrs. Bridgeman said she would mind her own affairs. It was then that she drew a revolver from her hand bag and shot the woman down.
 Interrogated by the examining mag istrate, Mime. Bloch said defantly: T am at last avenged. My husband de serted his home to follow his mis- tress. I have no regret for an act of vengeance which cuts the knot"

 AGAIN IN JAPAN.
New Emperor Cuts Short Season ei
 National Mourning.

Tokio, July 31-Business in the capital and generally throughout the country, which came to a standst1ll with the death on Tuesday morning of Emperor Mutsuhito was resumed to- day, Emperor Yoshihito having ex- pressed the desire that there should be no further cessation owing to the losses entailed by it on poor people and it's interference with international exchanges. Nevertheless, deep na- tional sentiment is dlscernible every where, while international sympathy is pronounced.
 Emperor Yoshihito was kept busy throughout the day, during which he issued an edict proclaiming his acces- sion to the throne, which he read be- fore a vast concourse of high officials and officers of the administration. He also personally proclaimed his success sion to the army and the navy.
 The Japanese foreign office has mo- tified the foreign powers that the i'm perial birthday has been changed from Nov (Mutsuhito's natal day) to Aug. 31 (Yoshihito's birthday.
 Following the farewell taken of the late emperor's body by the members of the imperial family today, the body was tonight deposited in a casket with 8 quadruple covering. the outer one measuring nine feet by four feet, and then placed in a special mourning chamber.
 On his way to the Ayama palace, where it is understood he will reside until after the funeral. Emperor Yoshihito was given a great ovation, immense crowds gathering along the streets, where they stood with their heads barred.
 The exact date of the imperial fu- neral has not yet been announced.
