rallied. There was absolutely no
warning of what was about to hap
pen as the switch light : showed
gnae1i, .denoting a clear track. Inves-
tigation showed that whoever did
the job turned the switch just enough
to open the points, causing the en-
gine to be derailed. Aside from a
slight shaking up no one was hurt
and but little damage resulted, as
| the engine did not tip over. A crew
from Park Falls set the engine back
on the rails and the train was about
three hours late.-Stevens Point

he held for two terms, 1899 to 1903.

ma ajorityz of the people recognized
the great advantages that had come
to Porto Rico with the stars and
stripes, the Spaniards and polite

agitating for independence. The great
masses of common people, however,
seemed well satisfied to be linked
with the great American republic
that has done SO much for them.
There were practically no schools
in Porto Rico in 1898, while today,
Mr.. Rice informed us, there are in
the neighborhood of. 23O0 public in
