SHOOT AT ARMoRY.
THIS YEAR.

The Agricultural Society of Brown
County have changed the usual pro-
cedure this year for their annual turkey
shoot and will hold it at the Armory in
stead Of at the Fairgrounds. The event
will be pulled off the 26th of this month,
the Sunday before Thanksgiving. The
deer rattle will again be part of the pro-
gram but the Haasenpfeffer will not.
So many of the "big game men are gone
to the Mexican Border and the others
are needed at home to guard the Armory
so there will be no grand hunt as in for
mer years. The Armory offers the adj
vantage of warmth and nearness to the
city and it is believed bigger crowd
will find it convenient to attend and
swell the receipts as we'll as carry home
their Thanksgiving birds. Everybody
get ready for the big day, Sunday, the
Goth.

"THE BOHEMIAN GIRL"

The highly spectacular revival Of
The Bohemian Girl to be presented
by the Aborn Opera Company at Turner
Theatre next Sunday, Nov. IL, is said
to be duplicating the. immense success
of it's previous seasons. Several factors
combined give to Balfe's greatest work a
high place in the affections of lovers of
opera. OF these the foremost is pro-
badly Balfe's genius for melody as ex-
emplified in such delightful and ever
welcome ballads as "The Heart Bowed
Down" II Dreamt I Dwell in Marble
Halls" "Then You'll Remember Me-"
"The Fair Land of Poland" "A Soldiers
Life "Bliss Forever Past "The
Gypsy Bride and other numbers. How
ever, it should not be overlooked that
to ''The Bohemian Girl Alfred Bum,
it's librettist, gave book that contains
as interesting and coherent romance
as has been supplied to any Of the stan
dard operas. While these two elements
were sufficient to win and keep place
for The Bohemian Girl" in the front
rank of favorites, the Messrs. Aborn
saw opportunities to increase its popu-
larity by giving it an elaborate staging
such as the story and action really de-
mand, but never had. To this task they
called Edward P. Temple Of New York
Hippodron1e fame, who appreciated the
possibilities of making great operate
spectacle of ..'The Bohemian Cir"
requirements of the music were not lost
sight of in giving the opera a lavish equip
ment of scenery and costumes and in
PRODUCING ballet, the Tzigani Troupe Of
Arab acrobats, real gypsies and several
kinds of animals. On the contrary,
instead OF being sighted, the music is
more efficiently rendered by cast of
operate notables, large and powerful
chorus and corps de ballet. Consequent
ly this offering has for six years made a
vastly stronger appeal than formerly to
opera goers in particular and theatre
goers in general. An Interpolation that
adds to the musical value is that of
''The Dance of the Hours" from LA
Gioconda'', executed by the ballet in
the last act. The cast ineludes Jeanette
Wells, Harold Blake, Phyllis Davies,
Albert Wallerstedt, Frances Tyler,
Ralph Nichols, Carl Btfrton, and
others. Adv.

BOWLING SCORES

Tuesday evening the High School
bowling team won it's first match when
they battled with the Waxipahti's and
took all three games of the match. The
scores:
High School, 2218. Waxipahtis, 2058.
Wednesday Bierbaum's team went
up against the Daniel Webster's and con-
tented themselves with one game. The
scores:
Bierbaum's, 2289; Daniel Webster's, 24O3
The Rex team also advanced several
per cent towards the top by taking two
out Of three from the Wicherski's. The
scores:
Rex, 1869; Wichersld's, 1865.
Monday the Waxipahti's again lost
three straight to the Beck's Pharmacy
team. The good bowling of seifert and
Backer did much to discourage their
opponents. The scores:
Beck's Pharmacy, 2251; Waxipahti's,
1923.
On the same evening the two shoe
mems teams, Hackbarths and Wichers-
k's battled against each other and the
latter took the last two games of the
match. The scores:
Haekbarth's, 1886; Wichers4di's, 2374.
While the Waxipahti' are losing in
the league they are taking up teams
outside Of the league and get revenge on
them. Last week they rolled two
matches with the Northwestern team, a
team made: up Of men working on the
C. & N. w. r. r., and took five out; of
the six gaahes. They won the first
match by several hundred pins.

cal superiority as means Of measure

ment.
The Scandinavians had made the
same observations and counted not by
tens but by twelves. In certain pro-
vinces of Sweden, there remain very
strong traces of this usage, which had
to be abandoned since our system of
writing and our arithmetic were intro
duced. But the people still count by
groups of IL and groups of IL times IL,
or IA. Today they call the former the
great tens, as against the small tens that
consist of ten, and the latter the great
hundreds, as opposed to the small hum
dreds that consist of 100.
More Scientific
Arithmetic based on IL is more
scientific than that based on 10, which
is the natural and primitive form. 1t
evidences an intellectual development
superior to that of the savage, who does
not count further than his 10 fingers, OF
perhaps his fingers augmented by his
toes. The bases S, 10 and 20, all multi
Piles of five, are the first which we find
among all peoples; finally they become
confused, however, with the basis 10,
which certainly was the first arthmetical
tuni in Chaldea as elsewhere.

known speakers, including Rev. J. L.
Lenker, D. D., of Minneapolis; Prof
Ackermann of the DR.. Martin Lut le1

DR.. Lenkers remarks were confined
largely to German culture, touching but
lightly up the polit:ca' issues Of the
day. His address was very entertaining
and was much enjoyed by his hearers.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES PLEASE

A crowded house greeted the ODER
ammergaler Peasant Players at Turner
Hall Monday evening when they visited
our city on their annual tour thru the
Middle States. Their singing, dancing
and either playing were as good as ever
and that is saying a great deal. They
presented der Zweite Schatz'' four
act pastoral play Of Ludwig Ganghofer.
In it is depicted the sad side Of life, but
enough humor is injected into it to brush
away the tears that are constantly well
ling up. Since being here last year, the
company has undergone some changes,
but the old favorites, MIR. and Mrs.
Ferd. Nagel Hanni Grassy AMI he
Bohmanns remain. The company from
dramatic>standpoin may not be qui e
so strong as last year, but their re ID ito l
of the play was excellent, new .rthel IS
The company always receives roy
welcome here, due no doubt to the ia t
that so many Of their countrymen live in
the city and the immediate vicinity.
The country side was well represented in
Mondays audience. The Cberam aer-
gauer expect to come back again next
year.

LARGE SUMS or MONEY ARE
WASTED IN RURAL SCHOOL S

If someone stole or wasted one-fourth
of the money that was taken from the
taxpayers, there would be great to-do
about it. Yet in the rural districts we
are wasting at least one-fourth the
money that is spent for public schools.
Here are the official figures, compiled
from the reports of county superinten-
dents:
Average term of rural schools, 1874
days;
Average attendance per pupil, 97.9
days;
Percentage of non-attendance, SO per
cent.
According to that, more than one
third Of the teaching time never gets
to the pupils. It is not quite as bad as
that because the official figures include
many children who go to school part of
the year in one district and part in
another. But any way you figure it,
not less than Is per cent of the school
time is lost.
It is not only that the boy who is st1t
of school loses week or day while he
is absent. When he comes back he has
to catch up; and while he is catching up,.
the others are held back.
Partly the absence is unavoidable =
bad roads, storms, sickness. But a
very large part of it is just plain don't
care. The children don't care and the
parents don't care.
The superintendent in Sts LouI
county proved what can be done. HI
found the attendance record. was 80
per cent. He had monthly reports made
to him from each district and he began
sending letters to school officers and
parents Of delinquent children, pointing
out what they were missing, how. they
were wasting opportunity and public
money by absences. Next year the at
tendance was IS per cent and the second
year it was 80.
Better supervision of attendance
saved half the lost time.
Many county superintendent are
not so well situated. St. Louis county
is a large county and the superinten-
dent had: help enough SO that when he
had worked out his system clerk could
attend to the details. Most superinten-
dents are. allowed to employ clerk
only a. few days in the year. It needs
the thing. must be done systemat-
ically and no superintendent who is rum
ming his office single-handed could find
time for the details.
A great deal might be accomplished
by a volunteer campaign conducted by
neighhorhood clubs, for instance the
county superintendent and the teachers
would cheerfully cooperate. But if reg
ular help is given the superintendent,
as the rural SHOOT committee pro-
per, there is no question but his as
sistants will be able in practically
every county to bring up the attendance
record and cut down the loss of school
time and school opportunity.

The Olnstead County Fair is unique
in that it is a school fair, managed very
largely by the county superintendent of
schools. Entries must be in the name of
a child of school age, if there. is, one in the

Hannah Parker SmaShes
Layton Home Furniture,
Causing CONSERVATION
SAYS GOD SENT HER
TO CLEAN UP WORLD

Becoming insane and laboring un-
der the hallucination that she was an
evangelist sent by God to clean up
the world" Miss Hannah Parker. col
ored aged 20 years. an inmate Of the
Layton Home for Aged Colored PEG
pie, southeast corner Thirty-ffth and
Market streets, caused thirty inmates
OF the home before 8 o'clock this
morning TO seek protection behind
closed doors. While the aged colored
people were concealed in the rooms,
Miss Parker stalked through the cor
ridors of the building shouting that
she had been to victory and had
been sent by God to clean up the
world" The insane woman seized
the lamps in the building. which had
been eXtinguished early last night
and these she threw to the floors. As
the crashing glass struck the floors
the other inmates, many of them
feeble from old age and illness, shout
ed from windows for help.
II was shortly before 5 o'clock when
| Annie Cleaver, an attendant, who had
been caring for Miss Parker, was
aroused by the insane woman's shouts.
At that time the woman was yelling
that Billy Sunday was a faker and
that she was the only true evangelist
Miss Cleaver attempted to quiet the
| insane woman. who washed from heI
room and began running through the
! buildings. AS the other residents oil
the home looked from the doors OF
their rooms and saw the maddened
woman they beat a hasty retreat.
Chairs and tables that were in the
{ Railways and rooms were attacked by
Miss Parker, who hurled them about
her At times the strength displayed
by the aged woman was astounding
This was evident to the police wher
they arrived in response to calls fol
help sent in by attendants at the
dome. Large wooden rocking chairs
were found crushed on the floor as Il
struck by a sledge hammer.
After racing about The building for
some time Miss Parker was caught by
several OF the women inmates, but
she threw them aside and II was only
when Mrs. Amanda Sterling. superin.
tendent of the Home. arrived, that
Miss Parker became calm. At that
time Miss Parker. addressing Mrs
q Sterling, said: Il sent for you and
you did not come. Now l am goinl
to finish you" Attendants prevented
her from doing any further harm.
The insane woman was then plac
ed in the patrol and hurried to III
police station and shortly befor
noon, the police surgeons pronounce
her insane and ordered her com
mitted TO the State Insane Hospital.
Mrs. Sterling said Miss Parker dis
! turbed the religious services at tn
