Another skeleton Uncovered.

The low water in the Snake river
has brought to light the remains of
another human being who met death
in that stream some time ago. AS
told by the Burley Advocate, last Sat
urday as Mr.. Hall, manager of the
Gem State Lumber Co. at Milner, was
hunting along the south shore of the
Snake river above Miner, he saw in
a remote place what resembled hui
man bones. Upon investigation he
discovered a number of pieces of a
human skeleton scattered about
among the rocks in most desolate
part of that region. He picked up
the skull and two or three other
bones, together with belt, some cor
set stays and a safety pin and took
them to Miner. He was advised to
notify the authorities and Sheriff
Nelson of Minidoka county was noti-

The News endeavors to give the
Times a little back handed slap last
week all on account of news item
appearing in our columns taken from
another paper, which happened to
contain the name of a crook bearing
the same name of a young gentleman
from this place. who was connected
with the article by some of his
friends down in Kansas who did not
know the circumstances. OF course
| The item was a couple of weeks old
and had been corrected by the Times
the week previous. but it takes the
News about that length of time to
wake up to any item of news, and
with great proclaim it heralds the
fact that the correction is made by
il. but the fear is expressed that the
story will travel faster than the cor
rcction. 1t would not be going much
TO do this as the item was probably
forgotten before the News correction
got started.

One Of the causes Of the snarl into
which the pension funds maintained by
the city and its servants have fallen Is
the manner In which they have been sup
ported. Instead of appearing In the
budget as annual charges against the
treasury, they have been hidden away
from general knowledge. Cnexpended
balances Of salary appropriations, fines,
deductions from the payrolls, shares
in indirect revenues have served to
conceal the sums devoted TO this pur.
pose. and naturally 10 promote loose
methods Of administration
How widely the practices in various
departments differ Is shown by com
parison Of the police pensions with
those paid In the Fire Department. Pc
licemen contributed In the last nine
years 81 per cent. Of the amount paid
out. The tiremen paid 1 per cent. cf
their pensions. II would seem that in
services in SO many ways similar there
should he some approach to uniformity
in the composition Of the funds.
Like 80 many other city enterprises,
the pension systems have grown from
small beginnings without receiving the
attention they deserved. Comptroller
PRENDERGAsT, In his report made public
recently. declares that they have had
no scientific study. which It Is obvious
they must now receive.
A half a dozen men trained in life

equitable pension reform scheme, based
on the records Of the various depart
ments. which would be just to the beneN
ficiaries and the city alike. Hitherto
the pensions have been popularity re-
garded from sentimental viewpoint

are an important factor In attracting
capable men to the services. They
should be put on business basis
and the appropriations for their main
tenance should be made specifically In
the budget, and not under cover o.

That our people have deeply appre-

during the past year, and the number
Of matriculants has been reduced from
1900 to TOO. This Is a significant state
Of affairs that appears TO have escaped
general notice. This great encroach-
ment upon the ranks Of physicians,
which never before have been lacking
In abundant recruits, may become a
real cause Of anxiety. 1t becomes more
interesting still when the Federal
Bureau Of Education. from which the
above data have been gathered, informs
us that women students Of medicine
register an increase Of 125 during the
same period.
The reason IL not far to seek. For
women of education medicine presents
q more attractive field than for men, to
whom larger choice Is open without
the tremendous exactions Of colleges
and examining boards. Unless a young
man possess special aptitude or fond
ness for this trying profession. he will
enter II with great dlscoura cement
when he IL confronted with the fact
that he will have reached the age Of 20
at least before he may be able to launch
into active practice with earning ca.
pacity. Four years must be spent In
the high school. four years in the col.
lege and four more years in the medi-
cal school, besides two years in hos
pital.
Much thought Is now being devoted
to removal Of this serious handicap
which men Of large means alone are
able to carry. Cornell and other medi
cal schools are endesvoring 70 arrange
the elementary first course in medicine
