ENGLAND ON POINT
 OF STRIKE STARVATION

London, Aug. 2s-English ship own CTS, it is reported, plan intimiaating members of the new Shipmasters' and Mates union by attacking the certifi- cates of any who join the threatened strike. The officers certificates can only be revoked by the board of trade but complaints have been made of the boards susceptibility to the ship ping interests influence. Members of the union argue, however, that a wholesale revocation of certificates would not break the strike and that they can so completely para1yze ship ping that England will starve to death unless the owners yield.

New Spring Goods

Our object this season will be to
advertise and supply an up-to-date
line of Dry Goods and Garments and
let someone else talk to you about
poorer kinds.
Our line of Dress Goods is the best
that we could select, style and quail
ity considered. Silks are to be used
in all kinds of dresses, and where
raw silk is almost as cheap as cot
ton any lady can wear silk dress
and not pay but a small amount for
the silk. Our Silks at 49c are best
Silks, only that they come narrower
than the dollar grades.
Dress Trimmings in some of the
very best kinds on the market, even
to the very expensive ones that We
have ordered in small pieces, so that
the whole town cannot dress alike.
Our aim is to have variety, so that
each lady can have an individual style
of dress.
Buttons go long way towards the
makeup of garment These we
have in all the new ideas, direct from
the factory where they are made.
Best ones as high at $500 per dozen
to be sold by the piece. Cut Glass
Buttons are new. Ask to see them.

New Spring Hosiery in silk and
cotton. There is run on thin Hose.

gives very thin, light weight that
ladies want.
New Wash Goods. This assortment
is of better quality and clearer color
ings than in past seasons. Our new
lot Of Gerard Poplins look more like
silk Poplins. They have a perma-
nent finish and make very pretty tail
ored suits and separate skirts.
Soisettes are staple and carried in
all of the best shades.
Muslin Underwear on account OF
drop in prices of muslin, laces and
embroideries has reduced the price OF
all made up underwear from 10 TO

Tailored Suits

We have an exceptionally large
showing of the new Spring Suits and
Coats This may seem early to be.
gin to talk Suits, but we are sure
those who want new up-to-date
Suit viii want to make their selec
tions early, as the early cloths are
always very attractive and are cloths
that are hard to get later in the
season.
We have some very attractive
models in the new Suits that are
made up in models that are entirely
different, and from cloths such as
serge whip cords and the mixed goods.
These are Suits that we have only
one of style and are Suits that it
will be hard to tell which is the
best model.
Just come in and look over the line
nd see the values we are showing
in Suits to sell at $500.
If we were to describe these values,
you would not get much Of an idea
as to their real value. You need
to see them to know their worth.
The new Suit values range in price
from $500 to $4,000.

LARGE Waste IN
THE UNIVERSITY
State Superintendent of Wis
consin Points Out Serious
Mistakes

Madison Wis. Feb. 12.-Why does
the University of Wisconsin cost so
much money? is the subject Of a
fourth letter to teachers and the gen.
eral public written by State Superin-
tendent Of Schools G. p. Cary for pub
lication today.
Professor Cary says that the annual
income of the University OF Wisconsin
Is over $2.O0O.000 and of this amount
aries Expensive purchases of lands
totalling $4,000. large amount of
building in process OF construction and
sum approaching $25O.000 paid to
officers clerks stenographersa and other
employees not engaged in teaching are
among other items given as reasons
for the high cost of administration.
He then asks why is it not more
efficient? ?" In the main he answers
the question by stating that the teach
Ing Is poor and that there is lack
of personal supervision.
Professor Cary starts out by analyz-
ing one department where seventeen
teachers are engaged.
The total number of recitations per
week" says Mr.. Cary "is ia. OF
these recitations siXty-hve are con-
Quoted by the seven nlon who receive
over $1,000 year; t1fty-six recitations
are conducted by the four men who
receive salaries from sl.l00 up to ST.
400 a year. and fifty-three recitations
are conducted by the six men who re-
cefVe 5000 year or less. Those who
receive $500 a year or less are gradu-
ate students. that IS. students who
have credit for four years Of college
work and are carrying on advanced
studies.''
In another department Professor
Cary says there are two men who re-
ceive $4,000 each. Last semester, he
says, one of them had total of twen-
ty-nine pupils and the other forty
nine. making a total for the two or
seVenty-efght; thus these seventy-eight
students were taught last semester at
cost of $3.50O, at the rate of about
$45 apiece for the semester. or 500 a
year each In this one subject. The
ether men who were students in the
department, young and inexperienced,
taught some. eighty-seven pupils at a
cost Of about 81 each.
A large share OF the teaching in the
university. says the state superintend-
ent. is done by men who get scarcely
living salary and that while theYe
are some excellent teachers who re-
ceive low salaries. as rule lit is prob
ably true" that the low priced men
are not highly satisfactory.
The men who are getting the larg-
er salaries" says Professor Cary, "are
supposed to be deeply interested in
research work, that is. diligent and
persistent effort to find out something
that nobody ever knew before"

OF Cold Spell Is Broken
Washington. Feb. 12-The most se-

years probably will be broken this

Observers of the weather bureau do
not promise there will be no more cold
weather this winter, but they predict
that the next week or ten days will
be the forerunner Of a spell of mod
crate weather.
Since the last week in December,
save for short periods in all the coun-
try east of the Rocky mountains. new
records for extreme low temperatures
have been set. While It was extreme

forward to warmer weather from now

There are no Indications at the

wreck. OF MAINE
HAS BEEN FLOATED
By Tonight 1t Will Be Up
to Water Level of the
.Harbor

Havana, Feb, 12.-The wreck of
the Maine fioated free of the mud last
night when water was turned into the
dam surrounding the wreck. The wa
ter within the dam Is about fourteen
feet below the harbor level at low
tide. It is the intention hereafter to
admit the water more rapidly, 80 that
by tonight the wreck will be raised
to the harbor level. leaving nothing
moro to sbe done except to break the
dam and noat out the ship: :. y
Water was forced into the dam
through 4 system Of pipes hxed at the
supplied by pump which had been
recovered from the wreck. The ship
began to rise. almost Immediately. The
midship section, which had been fur
nished with q bulkhead. rose more
rapidly on account Of superior buoy
ancy than the heavily weighted sharp
pointed stern, so that the Maine is
somewhat down by the stern. The
hull still lists to port. which is being
corrected by the use Of ballast. No
leaks OF any importance have been
discovered.
As the water slowly rose until 1t
dam. nearly twenty feet Of mooring
lines were run out fore and aft on
both sides to hold the ship fast and
prevent the possibility Of rs being
blown against the side sof the dam.
Many hundreds Of visitors thronged
the dam all day. watching the re-
floating Of the Maine. None of them
was admitted aboard the ship. how
ever, for fear Of accident. Major
Ferguson, who has had charge of the
work. has received many congratula-
tons on his success: The ship will
remain secured within the dam until
orders are received from Washington
to float her out, which can be done
within q fortnight.

The anarchists while returning from
the cemetery attacked the police with
