ment is the growth of the consolidated
schools in the county. There are now
six town consolidated schools and four
open consolidated schools lie only
five, years ago there We're only two
consolidated schools in the county,
Also, now there are three classified
high schools-Washburn Underwood
and Garrison-while five years ago
there was only one high school, at
Washburn, and it was not classified.
Typical of the consolidated school
advancement in this county was the
erection the past summer Of $4,000
building in the Blue Hill district,
south of Ryder. In this school, right
in the heart of farming community,
there is a combined gymnasium and
theater, where not only the farm boys
and girls may play basketball, but
the farmers club hold its meeting.
This brick building, with its three
teachers and 70 pupils enrolled this
fall, is the community center of a
township.
Twelve miles west of the Blue Hill
school, in Wright township, there was

this year a $1,000 addition, while an
annex was built to the Turtle Lake

rison, Cole Harbor and Mefcer'h s"'
The schools opened this fall With a
total Of 223 teachers, COMPARED with
213 a year ago. Five years'a ago, there
were i0S teachers in. the county. In
the face Of the general lack of men
teachers, it is interesting to note that
Mclean county is fortunate in that
respect. This year there are 26 male
teachers, including II employed as
principals. Most Of these men at the
country schools come from Indiana,
graduates of high schools, eager to
derive the manifold benefits accruing
to a new and prosperous country
Some of these ambitious and hardy
young men "batch" it in shacks near
the schools. Evidently the life agrees
with the young Hoosiers, for their
numbers increase every year.
The total enumeration of pupils In
the county this is 5,243, compared
with 1852 a year ago. Five years ago
this enumeration aggregated 1874.
f,YThc number of school buildings or
plants this year is 1863, against 143
five years ago. There are now 1876
rural schools, compared with 1876 five
years ago. That the quality of in

shown by the fact that 25 Of the rural

Denver, Colo. July 19.-The strike
situation in Colorado assumed a SER

district and the operators had failed,
and the announced intention of the
miners to walk out at Ia. m. Satur-

kilograms telling of the failure of
egotiations were dispatched to Presi-

Wilson by the mediators. About 1000
miners will be affected, and mines of
the district will be flooded when the
pumps stop.
Added complication to the state

5000 numbers, since boards could
disregard all except the first three
sheets.
I'VE could do this, but for the fact
that this makes it certain that men
in the first thousand would be called
first, men in the second thousand
next, and men with high serial num-
berS last of all.
"Since the assignment of numbers
is also done by chance, this does not
interfere very greatly with the even
chance of all men, but it does inter-
fere to some extent, For this reason
it was decided to have one drawing
to determine the order within any
group of 1000 and another drawing
sheets of 1000 each should appear
on the master list, instead of arbitrar-
lily assigning the sheets of 1000 in
their natural order. This reduces the
whole matter to an absolute equality
of chance.

Toxic, July 19.-Confirmation of
reports that Germany financed the
attempt of General Chang Hsun to

The condition on which the money
was furnished, the advices say, was
that the restored emperor would re-

it was learned that a number of Ger

SPY IN CONFESSION
Socialist Leader for Separate Peace
Agent of German Staff.

Petrograd, July ia letter from
General Brusiloff's chief of staff states
that Nikolai Lenine, the radical So
cialist leader, is an agent of the Ger
men general staff.
The evidence was traced thru the
confession of Lieutenant Ermolenko
that he was sent to the front with the
Sixth Russian army to make a propa-
ganda n favor of early peace with
Germany. Lenine's task was to com
promise the provisional favorite in
the eyes of the people by every pos
sible means. Funds were sent thru
the intermediary of an employe- of
the German legation at Stockholm.
The alleged chief German agent in
Russia is Maxsla Koslovsky, to whose
account, it is stated, 100000 rubles
are now standing.
