They are making a communistic educa
tional experiment near the llttlo town of
St. Anne , 111. , some lxty miles south of
ChtcoRo , that haa already attracted a good
deal of attention and la euro to bo talked
of the world over If anything llko HUCCCSU
IB nccompllslii'd. Thla experiment Is known
' . . Is far
on the People's University. St. Anne
removed the railroad In a region that Is
strictly rural , and the university ownn an en-
tire section of land , 010 acres.
Upon this tract , relates the New York Her
ald , stands not only the university buildings ,
but also the homes , for the time being , of
all the students and teachers. The land
I cultivated co-operatively by all , the pro
ceeds are sold for the benefit of all , and the
property of the community Is kept In a
common storehouse.
The community started with a capital of
$1,500 , Invested In tools , machinery and llvo
stock. The HChool has asked for no Rlfta.
cloca not expect to secure any endowments ,
and will appeal neither to the charity nor
the beneficence of the public In any way.
The students and tonchcra who are on the
ground are working with their own hands
at the construction of the buildings , and
are carrying on the agricultural work of the
school , all of which Is dona without com
pensation.
Their labor Is employed directly In pro
ducing tin- food , clothing , fuel and shelter
necessary for their own cpmfortablo exist
ence. When thla labor has provided thcso
necessities , the balance ot their time Is de
voted to study.
The educational workers arc building up
their own city , Including houses , school and
farm. The dwellings are cottages , 12x8 feet
on the ground , and a story and a half high ,
with first-class cedar shingle roofs.
They have built llvo miles of fences ;
planted fruit trees and EDO grape vines ;
have set out an Immense garden of about
ten acres ; have fields containing 20,000 sweet
potato plants , twenty-one acres of Irish po
tatoes , eighty acres of oats , 250 acres of
conv , forty acres of sorghum , twenty acres
of mlllot , and twenty acres of buckwheat ,
all of which are In very fine condition.
It la the unanimous verdict of the largo
circle of visitors that no finer crop nor
better farming Is to bo found anywhere
than there.
The cottages are built In a sort of semi
circle , following a slight rise of ground
which Is everywhere overgrown with blue
grass. It would bo difficult to find , or to
produce , even with a considerable expendi
ture of money , a more beautiful location
for the homo than this little grove has fur
nished , ready made.
The form In which the buildings arc con
structed Is that of a small village , but
there Is no subdivision of land and no sale
of lots. The school will hold , In Its own
name , and for Us own use , all land , houses ,
shops and Implements of every kind. There
Is no way In which any person can se
cure a speculative or even legitimate busi
ness Interest In any of the work of this
Fchool. There Is no plan for admitting , for
residence In this village , any ono who does
not come solely for an educational purpose.
The school simply provides an opportu
nity for study for those who arc willing ,
by their own foil , to tnko advantage of
such opportunity ; and the only return of
fered for labor Is mental training. The
miin who dons not want td study has no
reason for' going there , and will not be ad
mitted , or If admitted by mistake , will not
be permitted to return. All who are not
willing to labor with their own hands at
tasks necessary to comfortable existence
ore also excluded.
In fact , this unique community combines
the elements of socialism and communism ,
and , It Is to be hoped , without any of their
evils. The aim of the students of the Pco-
plo's University Is to sink Individualism and
accomplish the greatest good for all.
Hero Is the order of the day's work : The
rising bell rings at 4 o'clock , breakfast Is
at G. chapel at 0:30 : , and all hands attend
this morning service In their working
clothes. They go direct from this service
to their work In , the field. At a ( juarter to
12 the bell rings a field call to dinner. Din
ner Is at ten minutes past 12 , and the classes
begin at 1:30. : At ti:30 : the class room work
Is over ; supper Is at C.
From 6:30 : to 8 the tlmo Is spent In rest
and play , and from 8 to 0 In study , after
which the day Is done and all retire. Sun
day forenoon Is one's own for reading and
rest , and at 3 In the afternoon a service of
public worship Is held. The use of tobacco.
Intoxicants and opiates Is not permitted
within the university's precincts.
The work of building this community was
undertaken by Walter Thomas Mills , who ,
as field secretary for the organization , Is
entirely responsible for Its management.
The appointment of teachers , securing of
students , direction of discipline , In fact ,
the complete management of the school In
Its Industrial and class room work. Is for
the present In his hands. It Is an old Idea
of his. Mr. Mills Is known as n , lecturer on
temporancu and other social and economic
topics.
The wonderful growth of the crops of the
llttlo colony and the very satisfactory re
turns which the Immediate future promises
nr held to justify the expectation that , In
a very snort tune , tno fruits or its own toll
will entirely provide for Its support.

Nirly every ono has read about Little Ah
Sid , who , all agreed , was a "cute llttlo kid. "
That description of ono Chinese youngster
was accurate If Ah Sid was anything like
the thirty-two Chinese boys who are at
tending school In New York City now. The
youngest of the llttlo yellow-skinned ,
oblique-eyed chaps , says the New York Sun ,
Is 10 years old , and the eldest not yet 1C ,
Where are they , and how did they get here ,
and wheio did they come from ? These quos.
tlons shall be answered In reverse order.
They came direct from the Celestial empire ,
landing In San Francisco about the first of
.June , without being able to say BO much
"an "rats" In Rngllsh , They were brought
dyer hero at the earnest request of their
parents by Hev. Hulo Kin , superintendent
of the day school tor Chinese boys connected
with Chinese Mission , No. 1 , at 14 Univer
sity Place.
This mission , the first In the city , visa
established In 18GS , at Five Points , and was
then under the care of Miss Goodrich.
About fifteen years ago the Hoard of Foreign
Missions of the Presbyterian church took
this mission under care , and moved It up
town. Three years later the board selected
Mr. Hulo as Its superintendent. Ho U endowed
dewed with the lndustrlo.ua , patient , econom.
leal , and Ingenious traits of the Chinese
race. Added to these ho line a collegiate
education , received here ,
It was not until four years ago that Mr.
Hulo saw his way clear to establish a day
school for Chineseboys. . Ills Idea was to
give to such as wanted It a primary Kng.
llHh education that would lit them to enter
other schools. At once about a dozen lads ,
eons of merchants and laundrymeu In the
city , seized on this opportunity , and the
average yearly attendance has been from ten
to twelve until now. The course covers
three jcars , and very few drop out before
Us completion. About a year ago Mr , Mule
received urgent requests from the parents
of boys living around Canton and Hong
Kong that their sons bo received as pupils ,
After seeing that the red tape connected
with bringing an Importation of Chinese
boys Into this country had no knots In It ,
ho started for his notlvo country to fetch
back as many boys 'as the ecliool could
accommodate ,
"Chinese children never forget to make
welcome * the coining and opeed the parting
gueet , " said Mr. Hulo , to a Sun reporter.
"There le only one drawback to our school.
WQ ntcil larger anil permanent Quarters.
Wo have accommodations for only five la our
boanllng department here. The others llvo
with their frlpmlu or guardians , mostly In
laundries. The boys would le > arn much faster
If wo had them together In n permanent
home , and It would be better for them In
every way. I am full of hope for the future ,
however , for only a few days ngo a gentle
man ottered mo (300 as a. nest egg for a fund
for this purpose , and today I received a most
amusing letter from a boy 9 years old. living
In Oswcgo county , enclosing 25 cents for the
homo , 'for the llttlo heathens , ' so ho said.
I think It will conic In time. Thcso boya
that I brought from China are not objects
of charity. Tholr parents , while they cannot
bo said to bo even well to do , agree to pay
$60 n year fop tuition for each one ,
and , of course , they have to pay the boys'
board also. It Is touching to RCO what
sacrifices the parents arc willing to make In
order that their boya can learn the language
and all the arts and sciences of the Amer
ican people. Since the war with Japan the
people of China have become more nllvc to
their deficiencies , and are anxious to place
themselves more In touch with modern meth
ods , Our main object In training the bojs
wo have hero now U to elevalo them. Al
ready several of them are Interested In civil
engineering , and a prominent firm of rngl-
nrois hero hen expressed Its willingness to
recclvo ' 1110111 'Intota ' \ onice as soon as they
are fitted for the nlace. Of course , when . '
they complete the three years' course hero
they will bo frco to go Into business In tills
country or to return to China , but wo hope
that every ono will want to tnko a college
course , and then to enter ono of the pro
fessions. Hut that Is In the future. We
are only taking ono step at a time now , and
the most Important thing at present la to ec-
cure a permanent home for the school. It
could be kept crowded with students fresh
from the Empire every year , for the Chinese
government Is keenly alive to the advantages
of not only an English but an American
education for her sons. "

The Carlisle * foot ball team Is made up of
a clean , manly lot of natlvo Americans , says
the Providence Telegram. All ot the men
are powerfully built and fleet of foot , and
they tnko to foot ball as a duck to water.
The recent exhibition of the proficiency of
the Carlisle pupils In foot ball will probably
attract a wider attention to that useful In
stitution than It ever before received. It U the
oldest and most famous of a set of govern-
mcn training schools for Indians established
iway from the reservations. It was opened
In 1S79 , and lias accommodations for SOO
pupls ! , with an actual enrollment of S02.
There are now twenty-ono such schools , not
Including the Ilamona , which was In opera
tion for a part ot last year , and they have
a total capacity of 5,115. A leading charac
teristic of thcso schools Is Industrial trainIng -
Ing , which enables the Indian pupils to learn
how ti > aupport themselves by their labor.
Another and still larger claps of govern
ment schools Is the reservation boarding
schools , of which there are twenty-seven , all
jut a few being west ot the Mls-3lt Ippl Some
of th cso date back to the 'COs , but the greater
part of them have been founded In the last
quarter of a century.
Foot ball was first Introduced at Carlisle
three years ago by the disciplinarian oC the
school , G. W. Thompson , under whoso able
management the red men have become
worthy rivals of the leading colleges In the
country on the gridiron. This season the In
dians are playing a schedule that a few years
ago would have been declared Impossible for
any 'team ' to carry out with any degree of
success. It lo worthy of note that they have
? ames with Princeton , Yale , Harvard and
Pennsylvania on successive Saturdays. Tweet
ot 'these ' games have already taken place ,
and the Indians have thus far given a very
good account of themselves.

HEADING OFF LITIGATION

I.Ike TluiNL of N rwity <
"Tho evcr-lncrcaalns volume of litigation
Is one of the most serious problems
with which courts of the present
day are confronted , " said Judge
Shlras of the federal court the other
day. "Courts have been multiplied cud
multiplied again and still every time
ono of them Is convened for a regular
term the same condition presents Itself to
the presiding Judge an overburdened !
docket , with more business In sight than
can possibly bo disposed of. How to avott
this condition Is a question which the lawmaking -
making bodies must sooner or later take
up In earnest.
"Attorneys themselves can do much to
avoid this condition If they will. . In tbe
first place , any honest , capable attorney
should bo more anxious to keep a client out
ot litigation than to get him Into It. In any
ordinary conditions the attorney who so
advises his client as to bring about a fair
settlement of a dispute without resorting
to the courts Is more entitled to his fee than
the man who at the end of a lawsuit se
cures a verdict for his client. Litigation
Is not only a breeder ot Ill-feeling , but Is
wasteful beyond the ken of the majority of
people , and In my experience , both us a
practitioner and on the bench , I have scon
many n fine estate dissipated by litigation
which should never have been commenced
In the first place and would not have been
If the parties themselves and their advisers
hod used a llttlo common sense and Judg
ment.
"In another way attorneys can do some
thing to assist the courts In keeping the
dockets clear , and that Is by being ready
for trial when court meets and disposing
of cases In reasonable tlmo and not let them
drag along year after year without ever
coming to an Issue. There arc cases on tha
docket of this and every court In the laml
which have been there for years and promlsa
to remain for years yet to come , which
should have been disposed of long ago. Some
of tbcm uro relics of a generation which has
passed away and the cases and the parties
to them have been forgotten by the majority
of people. They coma up about every term
of court for the arguing of some motion or
Immaterial issue and nro then put over on
one specious plea or another , and In nil the
years Intervening since the commencement -
ment of the action the real merits of the
case arc never brought to an Issue. The
courts thtfmsclves can do much to remedy
this difficulty and they are as a rule making
the effort , but they cannot go too far , for
If they do they run up against 'custom and
precedent , ' which in some Instances may bo
honored beyond their duo.
INJUSTICE TO OTHERS.
"Aside from the Injury done to the par-
tics themselves by the bringing of useless
litigation and the needless delay In deter ,
mining the Issues In others , there Is an InJury -
Jury done to a class of litigants who come
Into court with honest differences as to their
rights In matters which are of sudlclcnt mo
ment to entitle them to a place on the dock
ets of the courts. As a rule this class of
litigants wish their cases determined at the
earliest possible moment and It would seem
as though they were entitled to It.
"There Is a broader view ot the matter
than simply Iho convenience of courts or
of other parties who may bo engaged in
some legal controversy It Is the good' , of
the parties -themselves and very often of
the entire community. Whole neighborhoods
have often been Involved In broils over some
llttlo controversy , which In Its Inception
should never have been tllgniflcd by a place
on a court calendar. Slight differences often
lead to litigation , when the anger of the
parties Is aroused , which have consumed
months ot time of courts , dissipated for
tunes In court costs and attorneys' foes and
engendered bad blood which lasted through
several generations. Ono such case comes
to my mind now which occurred early In
my career as a practitioner. It was between
two neighbors and Involved a small strip
of ground which at the most could not ha\o
been worth more than $500 all told , anil
probably not tint much. My partner was
ono of the attorneys and It had been In the
courts some time before I came Into the
firm. On the death of my parlner I took
up the case and In looking over the papers
I discovered that It Involved the location of
a line made by the original government
surveyor , and that from ull the evidence
which had been adduced In previous hear
ings It was Impossible to determine where
the line had been to a certainty.
ADVISED A SETTLEMENT.
"I sent for my client and advised him to
arrive at an understanding with his neigh
bor and settle the ease , suggesting that an
equitable adjustment would bo foi < each one
of the parties to take half the land In dlo-
pute. He at once rejected my proposition ,
saying that It was the dying Injunction of
his father to never drop tbe litigation until
ho secured the land or was defeated In the
court of last resort. After some tlmo the
case was pushed to a conclusion and the
final decision of tbo court was on the very
lines I had suggested a settlement 'that as
the exact rights ot the parties were Im
possible cf determination equity decreed a
division of the disputed tract. Had an earnest -
est effort by disinterested parties been made
to thus settle the case In Its Inception be
fore the animosities ot the parties had been
nroused I have no doubt all the money snent
In lawsuits and all the Ill-feeling engen
dered could have been averted.
"Where I am sufficiently well known to
attorneys to be certain that my motives nro
not misinterpreted I frequently suggest to
them , when , a suitable opportunity offers ,
that they should get their clients together
and settle the case amicably. This sugges
tion often bears fruit , and I know that In
so dolns I have In many Instances won the
gratitude of the parties to the case.
SUGGESTS A UEMEDY.
"The rcn.cdy which sugtfcots Itself to my
mind for tHf , class of litigation , as being
the most practical and efficacious , Is some
thing modeled after the Norwegian 'courts
of conciliation. ' Thcso are purely lay court *
appointed by the regular Judicial tribunals
to heir and recommend to the parties to
dlspn'ca an equitable mode of settlement.
They succeed moro often than they fall , and
In addition to the trouble and expense oaved ,
as a general thing leave the parties friends
Instead ot lifelong enemies. This latter con
sideration Is not the least of , the benefit ! ;
derived from this mode of settlement. In
adapting the principle Involved to tbo con
ditions qxistlng In this country , I would
Biiggi t that the first few days of each
term ot the regularly constituted courts
should bo devoted to a sitting as courts of
conciliation , In which the Judge or judges
could hear in a purely Informal manner the
statements of the differences of parties.
Thus stripped of all legal technicalities and
formalities the judge could easily get at
the equity of the case and suggest to the
parties a settlement which would be ad
vantageous to each. His advice would be
the moro readily taken for"tho reason that
lie would bo recognized as a purely disin
terested party. Moro cases could 'be dis
posed of In this manner In a day than could
bo heard In the ordinary course of court
procedure In many dajs , and the Incidental
expense to the general public of jury trials
could bo saved , as well as the greater ex
pense to tbo parties thcma'elves.
"If such a tystoin could bo put Into oper
ation It would relieve the courta In a largo
measure of the burden of potty litigation ,
which now" afflicts them , save the general
public an Immense sum In court expense *
and bo of Incalculable good to the parties
who have a penchant for getting Into law-
cult ! . "

Turn ml Inn Him.
Sunday morning tabout 10 o'clock a man
was seen to rtm out'nt ' the government cor
ral , throw his hat In .tho air , turn a double
somersault , climb one telegraph polo nfter
another , until he finally landed In the top
of ono of the target trees In the grove on
Twenty-second street ; near 1'opplcton nve-
nuc.
1'coplo living In Uici neighborhood thought
the man was -an escaped lunatic from the
poor farm , while the "dagoes" In the bottoms
toms locked their doors , barred the windows
dews and prepared for war. A policeman
happened along about this tlmo nnd seeing
the big crowd hurried to the scene. The
olllccr ordered the man to como down , but
the fellow evidently preferred to stay where
ho was , paying no attention to the com
mand. The officer finally threatened to
shoot , but even this didn't phase the man
up the tree. The ofllcer sent a boy for an
axe , Intending to cut the tree down , which
scorned to bring Mr. Man to his senses , for
ho gave n fiendish laugh and scrambled to
the ground. Whllo ho was being led to the
patrol box another man rushed out of the
corral and prevailed upon the ofilccr to let
thn mnti mi r.lntnlnrr Dtnt hnvnn nnlv
I having a llttlo fun and ho would see that
| his friend did not get Into any further
trouble.
When the man had been taken Into the
llttlo house near the big gate of the cor
ral n reporter for The lice asked him to
explain his strange conduct.
"Well , sir , " said the man , whom It wca
learned w.is Sergeant Garrlty , "I was n-slt-
tlng there reading The Sunday Uce , when nil
of a sudden my cyo rested on an article
headed 'Larry Mangan nnd Hla Mule. ' I
read the nrtlclo over' a dozen times , cried ,
laughed and then my head got turned around
nnd I didn't know what had become of me.
I've been a-hoping and a-praylng for the
laM two jcars that ssmehody would go after
that fellow Larry and write him up , for It
there ever wes a man that deserved a good
hanging It's this same Larry Mangan. He
ban played more prantts on the men In this
corral than a person would think , and Now
I know who It was that played that Joke on
mo lost Wednesday night. I was a-sittlng
right In that chair about 10 o'clock , talking
to one cf the men , when all of a sudden the
telephone rang. I answered It and found I
was the one wanted.
" 'Is this you , Garrlty ? ' sayfl the man at
the other end.
" 'It Is-cays I ; 'What can I do for you ,
sir ? "
"Well , Garrlty'I'm Colonel mum-miim-
nvum-mum-miim-minn - mum- mum - mum-
mum. Don't neglect this now , for It Is
highly Important and It must be attended
to Immediately. Hurry up and give the or
der at once ! '
"For the life ot me I couldn't make out
who the officer was or what ho wanted , and
M 'central' couldn't give mo the number
that had called , I Just naturally sat In that
chair and cried all night , the perspiration
running dowu my face until I was as wet
as a dlshrag , expecting I'd be discharged in
the morning for not ' .attending to the order.
I've been a-worrylng over that message ever
since , nnd I'll bet a new hot that It was this

The notlccn that the defeated popocratlc
candidates proposed.to contest the election
of their successful opponents was filed on
the republican members-elect late Saturday
night. The documantB alleged every form of
Irregularity hnown > > to the statutes , but
contained no spcclfloiallegations of Instances
In which Irregularities appeared. The no
tices were signed ! by the four defeated
popocrats.
The republican 'candidates have so far
made no arrangements for sustaining their
side of the contest , , tiut they will be called
together by Chairman Lewis of the county
central committee In n day or two to con
sider the subject. lit la the opinion of at
least one or two oto the candidates that It
would bo better' to1 let the popocrats go
ahead with their contest without further
notice from the republicans. They aasert
that the contestants have no Idea of being
able to show nnyUuutrreason why the result
should bo changedlbut that the proposed
contest Is merely a subterfuge to get the
matter before the l llaturo , where they ex
pect to have a majority that will arbitrarily
seat the popocrats on any sort of a trumped
up showing that may bo made.
It Is also understood that the contest
proceedings were Inspired by certain Indi
viduals who are anxious to draw an at
torney's fee out of the proceedings before
the legislature. One of the most deeply
Interested Is an ex-judge , who left the repub
lican party to follow the sliver cause. In
the distribution of the loaves and fishes this
personage was left out In the cold and
some of his friends are trying to fix It so
lie can compensate hlmaclt through the con
test.

There Is a strong Impression among local

of the next house from western districts

At the meeting of the city council this
evening Vaiuant , chairman of the council
committee on charity , will bring up the
matter ot the city cither establishing lla
own coal yard or advertising for bids from
local dealers. During the course of a winter
many tons of soft coal arc purchased for
the deserving poor and heretofore the cus
tom has been to purchase from any or all
of the coal dealers at the regular retail
price. Mr. Vnusant thinks that If bids are
aakcd for the city will bo able to buy good
soft coal at a rate much below the retail
list price. If other membera of the council
do not favor this plan Vansant will urge
that the city buy Its coal by the car load
and start n little yard of Its own. The old
dog pound down on Railroad avenue could
be used. It Is held , for a coal yard. The
last cold snap brought to light n number
of people In dcstttuto circumstances.

Only ono crime of any Importance has bee
committed In this city since the Kenned
holdup and that was the stealing of
watch from a section hand over In th
Fourth ward. Immediately after the Ken
nedy trouble , the police rounded up the clt
and arrested every suspicious character
found. The police judge dealt out a numbc
of severe sentences , and If any petty thieve
were left In the city after the roundup , the
opeedlly skipped out. The Jail was cmpt
jcsterday , with the exception of one man
who had been arrested for stealing coal from
the stock yards company. Officials of th
yard company arc having a great deal o
trouble with petty thieves , who tiespnss o

and lumber. As a rule , the thlevea are chll

arding "Sales 99
The remarkable success of our Saturday Purse-Open
ing Sale has induced us to hold a Monday Sale and a
Tuesday Sale also a Wednesday , Thursday and Friday - "
day Sale in fact , hereafter we will have an every-day-
in the week-and-\vcck-in-thc-year "Sale , " One thing-
that bothers us is the names that we shall give these
"Sales. " So many people in Omaha have been edu
cated up to distinguished names for their "Sales" we
are afraid it will be hard work to please them in this
respect , and we must ask the forbearance of the public
if our ad man shouldn't meet their requirements in fur
nishing fastidious titles for these "Sales. " We also
ask to be excused if our building is not covered with
signs announchgf these "Sales. " Furthermore , we
must apologize for not using more than our usual
space in the papers to tell you about these "Sales , "
and again , you mustn't feel slighted if the boy neglects
to litter your front porch with dodgers reminding you
of these ' 'Sa'es. ' " With these few exceptions we hope
to make an "overwhelming success" of 'The Nebraska's'
every-day sales , How about the values , did you say ?
Oh ! well , the values will be the same as usual. Values
are the last thing to think about in getting up a "Sale/
