utructlon of the division of forestry of
EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS IN THE ISLANDS ho "et'"rneut of Agriculture. They have
uvcu uL wurK in mo rureatM or vur ciiih
states during tho last summer, under the
aupervtslon of trained foresters, with re
sults of marked value to the division,
chiefly In tho preparation of working plans
and tne study nt commercial trees. The
students, while living In the lumber
camps, get n certain amount of flailing and
Hunting, but tun lino between work and
play Is closely drawn. All expenses are
defrayed by tho government while tho men
uro In tho ncld. During tho lost summer
work ban been done- In tho Adirondack,
tho utato of Washington and In Maine. The
ultlmnlu object Is to prepare tin? Htudcnl3
for eorvli'u In tho Forestry division of tho
United But en govurnment.
Aside from tho demand created for
trained foresters by the newly awakened
enthusiasm of tlm Department of Agrl-
culturo in stopping thu destruction of tho
forcstil of tho United States, tho call for
experts In the profession Is comparatively
slight, but Is Increasing with murkod
rapidity. Whllo tho government very
much wlfihcs the services of those who havo
enjoyed Instruction under It, reports tho
New ork Sun, this Is not Imperative.
Great lumbering concerns, BUch as tho In
ternational Taper company, which controls
more than 100,000,000 acres of spruce land;
mining companies, owners of largo areas
such as Dlltmore forest, In North Carolina,
the property of Qeorgo W. Vandcrbllt; the
No-lla-Sa-No-I'ark In the Adlrondacks,
owned by W. Seward Webb, and the ad
joining land, held by William C. Whitney,
nlong with tho forest Interests of a num
ber of states, nil need trained foresters
The government already employs n number
of men and will In the near future extend
tha work In such a manner as to require n
largo Increase In tho staff of experts.
Mr. Clifford Tlnchot, the government for
ester, says that trained foresters receive
In tho division of forestry from $1,000 to
$2,500 a year. Largo lumber companies
pay better, whllo a "cruiser," one who cs
tlmates tho worth of timber land, receives
a much higher pay
During the past year consldcrablo work
has been dono on private tracts under nd
vlco from tho division of forestry. This
was tho result of an offer made In October,
1898, to glvo advice and assistance to pri
vate owners in handling their woodlands
Within a year applications wcro received
from owners In thlrty-flvo states, tho
total urea covered by theso applications
being about l.fiOO.000 acres. Tho prepara
tlon of working plans for theso tracts nnd
tho supervision of their execution Is now

Many Inquiries have reached The lleo
concerning school teachtng In the Phil'
pines and the chances of employment tborc.
Most of tho requests for information wcro
prompted by tho publication of a state
ment to the effect that tho superintendent
of schools In Manila, F. W. Atkinson, had
c-nllcd on various school superintendents
In tho United States for volunteers to teach
In thu Philippines. Confirmation of tho
statotnont Is furnished by tho superintend
ent of Chicago schools, whtru several vol
unteers have been secured. It is also
stated that teaching volunteers nro ex
pected to remain in the I'hlliplnes threo
years; they must have the endorsement of
the school or Institution with which they nro
connected; their wages (J'JOO and upward)
will bo paid by tho American government
nnd tho samo rcllablo paymaster will fur
nlsh transportation to tho Islands.
"Since the Philippines have become poB-
Hi-sslons of the United States," says tho
Chicago Times Herald, "rapid Improve
inent has taken placo In tha methods of
education. Owing to tho lack of compul
sory school attendance the children of par
mttf IIvIuk if agricultural districts have
grown up lu what might be termed com

either Itinerant themsclvcH or illd not trou

Many of these Illiterate men and women
aru beginning to feel unnamed oi inoir ig
uoranco under tho new conditions, but It
will taVn tlmo for them to throw off tho
restrictions of Spanish rule and ecclesl
astlcal authority.
"Tho curriculum of the highest nnd most
advanced school In Manila Is nn advanced
one, but the students are generally lacking
In such studies as geography, economics
nnd sociology. The young men ore quick to
learn by Imitation rather than profound
study. Few of tho natives have ever at
tnlned prollclency in the arts nnd sciences,
although there uro uotablo exceptions,
uch as tho brothers Luno, one n musician,
one an artist, both nchluvlng much local
fHine. As n people they dislike classical
music and have no Idea of harmony or ex
pression of musical hounds. It remains
for tho American teacher to raise her volco
In strains thnt will scrvu to awaken
responslvo chords In the dusky breasts of
her nunlls. Our patriotic airs, with mcii-
Inspiring music will make serviceable
text books.
"Teachers In the Philippines aro luborlng
to make little Americans of tho children
and to replaco tho scrvllo Instruction of
a Spanish monarchy with the simple and
sorvtceablo foundation for universal khowi
edge. On the last Fourth of July tho
declaration of Independence was read to
them, they raised an American flag over
reproduction of that tree. Improvement
cuttings of various species, chiefly for
cordwood, are nindo In tho portions of tho
tract nearest the market and a certain
amount of planting Is dono every year
Mr. Plnchot says that a great deal of the
work being dono at Uiltmoro would not

of tho country. Tho systematic manage

Yesterday's session of court In the case
of tho State ngalnst tho Omaha National
bank was u prolonged struggle on tho part
of the attorneys over tho admission of cer
tain lines of testimony. Numerous legal
Intricacies beyond tho understanding of the
layman wero brought to light nnd dilated
upon, and not n few times tho attorneys
got entangled In the meshes of their own
arguments and had to bo extricated nnd set
aright by the Judge.
rUtorney General Smyth started tho con
troversy over the competency of evldenco
by objecting to testimony tending to show
that the officials of the defendant bank had
no knowledge of tho Invalidity of the wnr-
rant whose payment gives rise to the suit.
He contended that the law presumes the
defendants know that this warrant was
void and thnt on this account they laid
themselves liable by cashing tho check
given by tho former state treasurer ln pay
ment of It.
Through tho Omaha National bank Hart
ley negotiated tho sale of a stato warrant
whose face value was $180,000, tho pur
chaser being tho Chemical National bank
of Now York. When tho obligation wns
returned for payment n year or so Inter
Hartley gave his check on state funds In the
local bank. It Is tho contention of tho
state that the warrant Is void. The defense
maintains that It is valid. The attorneys
nrguo that If t Is valid there Is no cause
of action ln the suit. It It Is void it rests
with thu defenso to show that the bank
had no kuowlcdgo of tho fact.
Tho court asked tho attorney general to
elect one of two theories: Either that tho
luw presumes knowledgo on the part of the
defendants of the Invalidity, or that It docs
not fo presume, necessitating proof by the
defenso of the lack of this knowledge by
their clients. Tho attorney gcncrnl de
clined to choose cither theory, so the court
sustained objections not lu lino with tho
second. Almost tne entire morning was
taken up with testimony to show that tho
president of tho bank who conducted tho
negotiations for Hartley had no reason to
suppose thu paper was worthless.
J. II. Cornell, tho state auditor nt the
tlmo of the transaction, wnH on the stand
to Identify tho warrant. J. U. Meserve,
stato trtasurcr, testified for tho samo pur
pose. J. II. Millard, president of tho bank,
was In the witness' chair most of the time.
He told the court that Mr. Hartley came to
him In April, 1S!)3, with thu request to sell
the paper in controversy, lie insisted that
he did not examine tho wnrraut In detail,
as apparently It was not different than
many others which passed through his
bauds, nnd was not awaro that It was void
W. It. Adair, bookkecr-or at tho bank, Iden
tilled n copy of the deposit lodger show
ing that Bartuly's account was lessened by
tho umcunt of thu warrant and the Inter
est on the day tho eheclt won stamped as
having been nald.
Thero was another witness ln the after
noon, William Wallace, cashier of the bank
He contributed n good deal of informatlo
favorablo to tho bank's cause, Btatlng that
tho warrant ln question passed through
the bauds of tho bank officials In the cus
tomary way and was not subjected to an
examination. According to his testimony
thin warrant was sent In tho ordinary way
from tho eastern bank to' his own Instl
tutlou for collection. When tho warrant
wns paid tho owners directed whnt iIIb
position should be madu of the funds. About
$3,000 was sent to a Nebraska bank ln com
pliance with Instructions and tho rest was
forwarded to New York.
Numerous ledgers and account books wero
Introduced by tho defense to prove that
when tho warrant was paid tho funds were
duly credited to the Now York owners.
Court adjourned for tho day shortly after
tho uttorncy general completed his ex
amination of Mr. Wallaco und offered In
evldenco tho warrant Itself. Judge Baker
said he wua of the opinion that It was not
admissible. Ilu announced that ho would
seek further Information on the law and
give a final decision lu tho morning.

H. H Ualdrigo returned from Denver
yesterday, where, reprctentlng European
heirs of Eugene Daughurty, he llled suit
ngalnst tho Portland Gold Mining company
for an accounting und for one-twelfth In
terest ln the Hlack Diamond lodo of tho
Portland mine. The attorney for tho heirs
llxes the value of the oro taken from tho
lode nt $2,000,000 and tho value of the In
terest can bo estimated from the fact that
an English syndlcato recently gave $15,000,
000 for tho mine.
A fow years ngo Eugeno Daugherty was a
section hand and cook on a Colorado rail
road, ln company with threo other Irish
men, Doyle, Hums und Stratton, he went
Into the Cripple Creek country, whero the
party was successful ln a mannor to out
rival nil expectations. Stratton located the
Indopucdenco mine, which Is believed to be
tho best paying tnluo in the state. Adjoin
ing the Independence mine, ana equally as
rich. 13 tho Dlack Dlnmond lode. Iu It
Daugherty had a one-twelfth Interest. Ho
worked lu the mine and was killed by tho
blast of powder which opened the best pay
ing lode In the mine.
Daugherty wns unmarried and his heirs
are eight brothers and ouo bister. Ono of
tho brothers Is Cornelius Daugherty, who
lives ln South Omaha. Another brother
resides In Massachusetts. Tho other six

The American relutlves of Eugeno Daugh

DAMAGES MAY DEFEAT VIADUCT
I)lNiOHltlnii of Property Owner on
Tv piity-l'fiurth Street li liinlft
cm l'njniciil.
Tho tlmo for beginning work on tho
Twenty-fourth street viaduct Is in the
hands of owners of property which abuts
tho propoicd roadway, according to tho
statement of City Attorney Council boforo
tho Southwestern Improvement club last
night.
A largo number of pcoplo wero nt tho
meeting ot the club and tho city' attorney
had with him tho plans for tho now viaduct.
Upon tho drawings was n form of wulver
of damages with places for tho signatures
of property owners, but none of the. prop
erty owners bad signed. Tho city attorney
referring to tho plans briefly, outlined tho
history of tho struggle for tho viaduct.
closing by saying that tho engineer of lip
railroad company had notified tho city au
thorities that tho compuny was ready to
begin work according to tho npproved plans
as soon ns tho city Instructed them to ha
glu. Ho culd that the city council did not
feel ablo to pay tho damages which may
accrue to tho property owners, and for that
reason had waited to secure u waiver of
these damages from the property owners;
that tho railroad compuny had expressed
u willingness to pay tiny damages which
mny accrue If It Is permitted to build
earthen ombankiuontH for approaches to
the northern end of tho viaduct over the
tracks, but that tho city must pay the
damnges If tho work U dono In accord
ance with tho plans as approved by the
council.
Tho president of the club stated that
ho hud visited the representatives of one
of the land owners who had refused to
waive damages, claiming that tho railroad
had to build tho viaduct next year iinywas
and that It would pay damages boforo It
would defuult ln tho work.
Tho city attorney then stated thnt the
terms ot the contract iiiuld not be en
forced as to tlmo If the city did not have
matters nrranged no that tho company
ccud proceed without fear ot litigation, nnd
that for that reason tho argument ot tho
property owner wns nt fault.
Tho club became disgusted nbout this
tlmo und u resolution wan Introduced pro
viding that If the property owners would
not sign a waiver ot damages, the club
would favor the construction of un earthen
embankment for the northern approach. The
resolution went over iinlll tho next meet
ing, but the committee which was ap
pointed to confer with the property owners
was authorized to tell thorn that unless
they signed tho wnhcr the club would
tako such action. Tho club adjourned, sub
ject to the call of tho presiding olllccr.
