The University of Nebraska has Just Is- imcd a very attractive pamphlet descriptive or the School of Agriculture. The course In agriculture mapped out Is the most com- pletc , practical and commotisense thing ot the kind yet undertaken. It Is somethlna that no farmer's boy or girl of any ambition can afford to miss. The people In charge ot the school realize the fact that moat farm ers' sons and daughters cannot afford to spend the time and money required In the preparation for aud completion of the regu lar college course , but believe that In farmIng - Ing , as In every other business , education und training pay. Heaping this In view they have prepared a short practical course of three monttui , beginning January 3 , 1899 , and ending March 17. It provides for the following studies. Soil tillage , diseases of farm animals , stock breeding and Judging , feeding cattle ana hogs , aalrylng , horticulture , carpentry and blacksmlthlntr. An explanation given In the circular of the manner In which the Instruction 1 given shows that the student obtains much of It by menus of actual practice and ob servation.

A successful start has been made and between the teacher and the taught Intervenes the full width of the North American continent The teacher IB In San Francisco , the pupils \ arc In Philadelphia. The Chinese words and the explanations necessary are spoken Into the grnphophone by Kev , John E. Gard ner , formerly a missionary , but for some years Interpreter of Chinese at the custom house In San Francisco. The leader of the class In Philadelphia Is Hev. Mr. Poole , Who Is concerned In missionary work there. The maxims of Confucius , the remarkable literary production known as the "Poem of Ono Thousand Characters , " and , generally speaking , the Chinese classics of the many V I centuries of China's existence are used In thp teaching. Dr. Gardner Is not over 30 years old. In an Interview ho said : "I am teaching , the Cantoncao dialect , which Is the commercial dialect of China It la spoken by 20,000,000 Chinese In the great province of Canton. It Is the dialect employed by the Chinese commercial colonies nies of the world , In the Philippines , at phanghal , at Tientsin , In the West Indies , In Central and South America , In the Ha waiian Islands ; In short , It Is the commer cial Chinese language of the world. The regents of the University of California em ploye. ! me ncvcral months ago , foreseeing that the commercial relations of the United States with China are certain to bo more ext nslyp.In the future than they have been in the past , to teach n class of university students. Itccrntly the work has been ex tended and a university extension course has been added , the new clans meeting ir. the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art , which le connected with the university. Some knowr- edge of this , together with the general ap preciation of the Increasing value ot Chine commercially to this country , may have lee up to the graphophonlc class which Dr Poole has established In Philadelphia. " 1'nrciitnl School. President Harper of the Chicago univer sity baa accepted the chairmanship ot t committee composed of representatives o : various Chicago organizations Interested It the establishment of a parental or truani school. Dr. Harper Is also chairman of th < Educational commission , which has the sub Jout under consideration. The secretary o the commission , who has examined Into thi workings ot the system in Brooklyn am Boston , says ot It : "I should emphasize the following point as essential : That the truant school shouli be used as a last resort , after asslgnmcn of the wayward boy to the ungraded rooti or school has proved Ineffectual ; that com mltmont to the truant school , whether b : the magistrate , as In Doaton , or by the su pcrlntcudcnt of schools , as in Now York should be made as free as possible of al stigma or reproach ; that the boys shoul bo comfortably housed In separate cottage : and It at all feasible In Individual sleepln rooms ; that the discipline , whllo strlcl hould bo such as to lead to self-control an direction rather than mere submission t authority ; that the course of study shoul not merely duplicate the Instruction of th ordinary public school , but should appeal t the Individual tastes ot the boys , partlcu larly through a large amount of hand worl both about the house and in the manut training shops ; that .the truant school uhoul control some acres of land for orchard an garden purposes , and especially so If th boys can bo kept through the summer v cation ; that assignment to the truant schoi chould bo for at least some months , If n < Indeterminate within the limits of tli school age. the boys to shorten the ten through good conduct and studious habit ! that careful selection be made In regard I the teachers , as this kind of work demnnt the utmost discernment , sympathy an ability In Imparting Information and lu di veloplng proper hiblts " Slnirnlnr T > t In School * . For soniB tlmo past Dr. Arthur MacDona ot the National Bureau of Education h , been engaged In making a study of tl school children of the city of Washlngtc for the purpose of ascertaining their gener mental and physical characteristics. The r milts of the Information collected form very Interesting summary of the peculiar tics of the 18,000 nnd more boys and glr who attend the public schools and also fu Deadly J.N.Murdook , ? 7t > Snodgrnss Street , DallnsTexas , says : "My BOI had a terrible Cancer on his jaw for which the doctors performix a painful operation , cutting dowi to the bone nnd scraping it , Th Oancoreoon returned , howeveram wns mow violent than before.V < were advised to try 8 8.8.

For the purposes of this rrsearch Dr. MacDonald had printed about 25,000 cards , which he distributed among the teachers of the public schools , containing a Hat of questions on which he desired spe cial Information. The cards requested tha teachsra to report the name , age , height ( without shoos ) and sitting height of each scholar. The arm reach , weight ( In ordi nary clothing ) and horizontal circumference of head were also to bo recorded. The teachers were asked to dcnoto on each card whether a certain pupil was bright , dull or average , and to name the particular studies In which each scholar was bright or dull , as well as those In which they wcro classed as average. The other questions Included wcro as follows ; "If abnormal or peculiar , name In what way. Is pupil unruly ? Is pupil sickly ? Oltro nationality of father. Give nationality of mother. Give occupation ol parents. " Each teacher was also asked to submit some general remarks on the general temperament ot each scholar. These cards wore distributed to the 800 teachers and were expected to embrace reports on all tha chil dren , both boys and girls , attending the pub lic schoolH of this city. They took In the pri mary grades as well as the high schools. Mora than 18,000 replica were received , cov ering special Information In regard to an equal number of children , youths and misses. Dr. MacDonald believes that the data collected covers such a wide territory and Is BO general In character that the average - ago conclusions reached may bo accepted a reliable. The cards were then divided by sex , thoie relating to the girls being sep arated from those In regard to boys , after which a number of classifications were made. Some of the CoiielunlonH. After separating the cards in this man ner Dr. MacDonald began to ruin up his con clusions. He found that the uumber of g rls reported as bright greatly exceeded the number of boys of the same class , hi fact , the girls were shown to bo more Intellectual than the boys , the superiority being no ticeable In nearly oil branches nf study. The no branch In which the boys outranked the trls was In mathematics , for In this they vere easily glvon flrot rank. A p cullar thing n this connection Is that while the girls ell behind In mathematics they made bet- er rccordn In algrbia than the boys. This a a feature that Dr MacDonald Is unable o explain. In history , geography and gram mar the girls were easily the superior of thi toys , and they also excelled In the stud ) I languages. This general excellence of thi Iris was not confined to the loner grades , > ut was true through all the hlghei jranchcs of study. The reports of the oachers Indicated that thcro were mort bright" children than youths and misses n other v.ords , boys and girls are relatively lore intellectual In their early years than hen they nre older. Dr. MacDonald says lat this simply follows out the well knowr act that a child's head ly developed more ban the rest of the body , and that the ratr t cnwth is not equal after a certain num- > er of years. More girls were classified as average" than boys , the latter usually be- ng designated either bright or dull. Dr lacDonald thinks that this Is a good Indlca- Ion , and says that It Indicates that boyi .s a rule possess a greater amount of adapt ability than girls. Aiucrlcnn Superiority. Another classification of the cards made by Dr. MacDonald was In regard to th ( hlldrcn who were classed as the offspring if laboring classes and these ol ho non-laboring classes. In the fonnei , vcro Included the offspring of hackmcn plumbers , bricklayers , carpenters and gen eral laborers , while the sons and daughter : of merchants , lawyers , physicians and othei > rofcsslonal men were rated as children o : non-laborers. The conclusions made after c study of the cards thus divided reveal c number of interesting conditions. As a gen re ! thing it v.fla found that the bright chil dren were sons and daughters of men anC women who are regarded as well to do , thi majority of those classed as dull belonging o parents of the laboring classes. This gen eral rule of excellence of the children of thi well to do or wealthy folk was true In re. ard to most of the comparisons of this dl < vision. The phyElcal development of the for. mcr class occurred earlier than was the casi with children of the laboring class. The ] wore also taller and heavier , although i greater'percentage of sickness was showt by them than by the offspring of tha poorci classes. A decided superiority on the part of th < children of Ameritan citizens over these o 'orctgn born was noticed , both as to studlc ; and general physical characteristics. Amcrt can boya were reported to be brighter , talle and heavier , than the boys ot foreign par cnts. An Interesting table wag also formei showing the condition of boys and girls , th nationality of whose parents was mixed Wherever a father or mother waa an Amerl can the showing made by the child was bet tor than in the case where both parent wore foreign born.

Although the bulk of the $225,000 whlcl was appropriated by the exposition manage ment for the payment of a 75-pcr cent rebati to stoskholders was paid out Saturday , enl ; a minority of the stockholders were provldoi for. The remainder are now being accom niodatcd with their money at the Merchants National bank as rapidly as a large fore of clerks can attend to them. The bank officials state that about two thirds of the entire amount was paid ou Saturday. It was desired to get as mud ot the surplus as possible Into tbo hand of the stockholders at once , and an effor was consequently made to pay the heavle stockholders first. Practically all of thcs as well as a majority ot the stockholder who held medium amounts received thel noney and thosa who remain are largel ; aboring men , clerks and other people wh lold from one to three or four shares c stock. There are nearly 3,600 of those , a compared with between COO and 600 of th icavler holders who were paid Saturdaj As It requires practically as much ttmo t jass on a certificate for one share as o : one that represents ten or fifty It wll probably require at least another day or tw to dispose of the entire amount. The Lank was opcn.d at 9 o click ycstcrda : morning In order to accommodate th stockholders and there has been a long lln of people in front of the windows all day Those who had filed their certificates Satur day were handed out checks for the amoun of their rebate at one window and thca were cashed or deposited as they were pro scnted to the paying teller. Audito Strcetor of the exposition was in charge o the distribution of checks nnd these wer checked with the certificates as they wer issued in order to avoid any possibility o error. The stockholders who still retained thcl certificates were accommodated In an otllc on the second floor , where a force of clerk vaa detailed to receive the certificates an 1st them so checks could be Issued. A fast as this Is accomplished checks will b Irawn and today those who filed their cor tlficntes yesterday will receive their check on demand. This will be continued untl all the stockholders have been paid. The people who came Monday and secure their rebates on small amounts of sloe were scarcely less Jubilant than the capl ; allsts who drew the larger sums Saturdaj They were almost without exception mo who work on limited salaries and the mone was exceptionally welcome at this tlm when the winter Is fast approaching. Fei of them had expected to get anything bcttc than a nominal rebate and they felt ver much as though they bad picked the mone up in the street. There wcro not a fe' working girls among them who had bougli one or two shares ot Block out of the ! limited savings and to three the cash rcbat of $7.CO or $15 seemed like a small fortuni So far no action has been taken by exposl tion claimants to enjoin the payment of th money and as only a comparatively spm amount remains In the hands of the trustc there is little doubt that every paid u stockholder will get his money wlthoi difficult ? .

NOT TURNED ON Probable Cause of the Wreck at the Junction Saturday Night. WHAT THE INVESTIGATION MAY SHOW Olilnlnn In Ilnllrond Clrclei tinned on Inqnlrlcn Mode Suttirdny Mslit mill Inspection of the l2iiRlnc nnd Cum ot ( lie Time. The official Investigation ns to the wreck of the freight train of the Union Pacific and the passenger train of the Port Arthur route at Council Bluffs on Saturday night. In which two men were killed and n number Injured , will be held In this city this morning. The dlsjvatchers and train crews of both roads , so far as they arc able , will bo present to explain how the wreck hap pened. The result of the Investigation Is fore shadowed In railway circles hero by the opinion of the railroad officials who made an Investigation Into the circumstances of the wreck on Saturday night. General Man ager Dickinson and a number of other oftl- clals put In nearly all Saturday night nt the Junction where the wreck occurred , and carefully examined the two trains. In their opinion the absolute cause of the wreck was the failure ot the train crew of the Port Arthur passenger train to cut-In the air before the train loft Omaha. An examination ot the Port Arthur train Immediately after the wreck occurred showed that there waa no air for the air brakes to work with , and that fact ac counted for the failure ot the alr-brakcs to work. Tha engineer of Ihe Port Arthur train ap plied his alr-brakcs In ample tlmo to bring his train to a stop before coming to the Junction point , but as there was no air the air-brakes were useless. It Is stated b > the railroad officials that the evidence ot the train men at Tuesday's investigation will show that the air was cut off from the Port Arthur train nt the Omaha depot , and the train men neglected to cut-In the air before the train left. No deaths resulting from the wreck further than the two alread > reported have occurred , and the Injured are said to be getting along as well as could be expected and will probably recover. OP TERMINAL COMPANY. Gcnornl MnnnKcr AVclintcr FnrnlnliCN ix Stntemeiit of Improvement * . General Manager Webster of the Omaha Bridge and Terminal railway of this city furnishes the following Information In re- I gard to the Improvement being made : "This company Is rearranging Its terminal tracks ' and constructing additional facilities In both the cities of Omaha and Council Bluffs. Since January 1 wo have laid in Council Bluffs a track from the intersection of Eighteenth and Broadway south on a curve across Broadway to First avenue , east on First avenue to Fifteenth street , then south on a curve to Fourteenth street , thence south along the east side of Fourteenth street to Fourteenth avenue , thence south east on a curve to a connection with the Omaha & St. Louis railroad , at the inter section of Thirteenth street and Sixteenth avenue. Also a track connecting with the foregoing at the Intersection of Fourteenth street and Sixth avenue , thence on a curve to the northeast to Union avenue , thence northeast along Union avcnuo to the corner of Ninth and Broadway. The length of these main tracks is as follows : Main north and south track along Fourteenth street , 7,000 feet ; Union avcnuo track , 2,600 feet. In addition to the foregoing we have con structed In Council Bl"fs along North Eighteenth street a sidetrack about 1,000 feet In length , also other sidetracks and transfer tracks amounting in length to per haps 3,000 feet additional , making In all In Council Bluffs mum track , 9,600 feet , 3,000 feet of sidetracks ; total , 12,600 feet.
