PRELIMINARY PREPARATIONS
FOR SCHOOL OPENING

One Of the busiest men in the city
at the present time is Professor
Wright, the new public school sup
erintendent, who is now fast getting
things in shape for the opening Of
the teachers institute which will be-
gin on September 2, or one week be-
fore the opening of the regular term
of the public schools for the year
1928.
The teachers institute, according
to Prof. Wright, will be made as at
tractive and teachers as possible, the
work for the week being made up Of
papers and talks on various subjects
by the teachers themselves, supple
mented also by short talks from
prominent local people. The pro-
curance Of several Of the interested
citizens and taxpayers to talk before
the institute is al important move
being made toward the development
of a better and closer understanding
and relationship between the patrons
of the school and its authorities.
An increased attendance in both
the high and grammar grades is be-
ing prepared for and one or two new
teachers will soon be appointed to
take ARE of that increase. New
equipment such as maps, labratory
paraphernalia, ETC., have been
bought.

Ten Minutes Earlier Beginning
Saturday morning, the schedule of
the Matamoros and Brownsville
motor car service will be changed,
50 as to make the first car in the
morning leave the Brownsville sta
toin at 500, instead of at $3.50, as
as present. This change will not
affect the departure of any car eX-
cept the first car leaving in the
morning. General Agent Macmanus
explains that there is considerable
travel into Mexico by this route at
present, and more time is necessary
for the inspection of baggage, and
purchase Of railroad tickets. The
time of departure of the National
train from Matamoros now is 6:57,
standar dtime, and the new schedule
gives passengers to Mexican points
about half an hour in which to run
the Mexican customs gauntlet, buy
tickets and say goodbye to their
friends.

A Gruesome Trophy-A souvenir
Of a very unusal kind is in the pos
session of DR.. Major Schofield, the
well known u. S. veterinary sur
geon. The doctor had the bad luck
to be bitten on the right arm by a
rattlesnake, while he was on a pro-
fessional visit at a suburban farm.
The fangs of the reptile struck him
full in the fleshy part of the arm,
just below the elbow. DR.. Schofiem
had presence of mind enough to tie
a bandage tightly just above the
wound, SO as to stop circulation in
the limb and prevent the poison
from getting into his circulatory
system. Then he deliberately pro-
ceeded to kill the snake and extrac-
ted its -angs, wlicn he now has as
a souvenir Of his painful experience.
He hurried to town after this feat,
and sought medical assistance, DR..
Belanger treating the wound. The
patient has almost recovered from
the injury, although he was obliged
to undergo the very painful process
of eXtirpation of the flesh which
vas penetrated by the deadly fangs.

NO RUSH OF CANDIDATES


The situation in the Fourteenth
Illinois district regarding the Repub-
tlican nomination for congress is
somewhat peculiar. When Hon. James
Mckinley announced that he would
not be candidate for another term
1t Was generally expected that there
would be plenty of aspirants for the
honor and the place. Thus far this
expectation has not been realized.
An editorial paragraph in the Macomb
Journal pictures the situation as fol-
lows:
Frank G. Allen of Moline, who has
been mentioned a number of times
as probable candidate for the Re-
publican congressional nomination,
declared his intention of keeping out
OF 1t, which leaves but one announce
ed candidate from Rock Island. al
though Charles ]. Searle is also said
to be a candidate. The withdrawal
of Allen points to a Warren county
candidate entering the field, although
this is not yet definitely announced.
Clarence j. Buck of Monmouth is
mentioned as the most probable can
didate, but it is stated from pretty
good sources that he is not hankering
for the job

WOODROW WILSON'S
GOOSE rs COOKED
He Wrote Letter in 1905 Which
Stops His Clock as Presidential
Aspirant.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. j
WASHINGTON, Jan. s. = A politi
cal cannon ball, bounding among the
democratic near-leaders gathered
here opened the battle to pre-
vent the nomination of Gov. Woodrow
Wilson of New Jersey for president
1t was in the form OF letter WRIT
ten by Wilson, in 1905, when he was
at Princeton college, and was circu-
lated as part of a campaign to pre-
vent the Wilson adherents from gal.
ing Bryan's support. The letter coli.
tanned the statement.
Can we devise some way of get.
ting Mr.. Bryan out of the democratic
party and getting rid Of BIN for all
time?'
According to the volunteers of this
information, the letter was written
by Wilson to Harry Walker, Prince
ton trustee, just after the disastrous
campaign of 1904.
