Advlsp School Officer.
State Superintendent Fowler today will
mall to the county superintendents and
principals of schools his annual letter ad
vising them regarding their conduct of
schools, their relations to the home and
chool board, and outlining to some extent
the work of the school. The superintendent
In his opening paragraph congratulated
the teachers on the auspicious condition
of school affairs now prevailing In the
state. He tells the superintendents that
more teachers have taken professional
training In the summer Just passed than
ever before. These teachers, he said, had
returned to their schools at Increased sal
aries. He referred to the school of super
intendence held at Omaha as an epoch In
school supervision and predicts that the
ensuing school year will be the most suc
cesaful In the history of the state.
Superintendent Fowler advised the teach
ers to speak well of their predecessors or
not at all and to be evolutionists Instead
of revolutionists, making changes grad
ually from the 'rules of predecessors. He
tells the teachera that the Boards of Ed
ucation are as a . rule composed of rea
sonable men and If approached In a frank
and reasonable way will usually meet the
teacher more than half way and will stand
by the teachers when It comes to the test.
He advised principals to stand by their
teachers and If the teachers' work Is not
satisfactory to be brave enough to ask for
resignations.
Speaking of the. relations to pupils and the
co-operation of the home, Mr. Fowler said:
Among the forces which make or destroy
aunerintandent or urlnclDal Is the gen
eral attitude of. the pupils toward him. He
must command tneir respect ana win ineir
confidence. Nowhere Is It truer and surer
thun In nur rinallnss with nuDils that as we
measured to others It will be measured to u
again; we get from pupils Just what we
give suspicion for suspicion, ill will for ill
will, hate for hate and llkewlae confidence
for confidence, friendship for friendship,
love for love, and may 1 add, obedience and
respect for fair, unwavering discipline.
It would avoid much trouble and Irrita
tion If the schools would consult with the
home more then it does-on questions of
dlsnlpllne.. home study, attendance, punc
tuality, party going and party giving, etc..
A regulation harmless and proper In itself
might be enforced In such a way as to
render It exceedingly.' obnoxious; and al
most unendurable to parent and pupils.
Hen o n With the parents If they are reas
onable, and parents usually are when the
facts are fairly stated ana they see that
some action is necessary for the good of
their own children. The school should not
be arbitrary or dictatorial. Parents have
rights and are and should be the proper
f uardlans of their children and responsible
or their acts In school and out. Many
parents would prefer to punish their chil
dren themselves for misconduct In school
end would do so more severely than the
teacher, If applied to In the proper spirit,
llow to secure the proper co-operation of
the home la a problem, the solution of
which demands the best efforts of the sup
erintendent or principal and his teachers.
He strongly recommends a review of the
eommon branches during the higher course,
especially reading, spelling, arithmetic,
geography, Cnlted States history, English
grammar, composition and letter writing.
This latter he holds Is Indispenslble.
Lincoln by Gaslight.
Lincoln Is now trying the experiment of
gas lights on the streets. Last night the
Cleveland Vapor Light company turned on
'194 of them and furnished carriage for
the members of the city council to ride
over the city and look at them. The globes
for the lights In that part of the city
north of O street have not yet arrived
and these lights will not be Installed be
fore next week. It la Intended to use 820
lights In all.
The gas lights are supposed to be 100
candl power, and under the worst possible
circumstances are supposed to give out
86-candle power light. It Is said the elec
trio lights, which ur supposed to be 2,000
candle power, give out about 600-candle
power light.
The Installing of gaa lights Is the end for
the present of a bitter fight waged by the
city against the Lincoln Electric Light and
Oas company. It cornea apparently aa a
punishment of the people for daring the
attempt to throw off the corporation yoke.
On two occasions the people have approved
by their ballots the Issue of bonds for the
erection of an electrlo lighting plant, but
on both occasions the corporations were
able to prove the ordinance under, which
the bonds were to be Issued defective.
After th aecond round the council voted
to put In gaa lights. A Cleveland firm
got the contract to "Install the lights and
th Lincoln Oas company furnishes the gas.

SOCIALISM AND WORKINGMEN
Iowa Woman Say Labor Doea Not
Get Ita Fall Share of What
It Produce.
Mrs. Marian H. Punham, president of
the Iowa Women's Christian Tempemnci
union, addressed a large audience at
Myrtle hall under the auspices of the
Women's local socialist union, Bunday night
on the subject of "Socialism." Her speech
waa preceded by a short address by W,
E. Clark, assistant national secretary of
the socialist party, who said that the pres
ent conditions of society cannot be changed
untjl woman is as free as man.
Mrs. Dunham said: "The labor question
resolves' Itself Into the proposition aa to
who shall have the product of labor;
whether It shall be the laborer who pro
duces wealth, or the capitalist, who take
It. It la spokan of by th socialists as a
class struggle, the struggle between the
laborer and the man who profits by the
work of the laborer.
"We hear talk of prosperity. God forbid
that the present prosperity shall continue
for many years; the prosperity that per
mit the laborer to build mansions and live
In hovels; to weave beautiful garments
and wear the cheapest fabrics; to produce
th most palatabl food for a few while
the many live In want.
"But most peopl have to be reached
through their economlo conditions, and so
the trusts ar doing more to usher lr
socialism than all th arguments of the
socialists; In fact, they are bringing In
socialism so fast that the socialist or
kept busy educating the working claa ss
th working peopl will b capable of run
ning their own affairs when they are
forced to take control. It would be easier
to sweep back Niagara with a broom than
to atay the onward march of the working
claaa to take possession of the product of
labor."
Several Hear Explosion.
An explosion which resembled th noise

Lawyer Wins Tea Dollar From Op
poneat la Conrt Who I t'aabla
to Say the Lord'
Prayer.
"A few years ago," said a representative
of the Beatrice Creamery company of Lin
coln, "I happened to be In Kansas City and
run across one of the Omaha traveling
gang. He waa stopping at the Coates
house and waa due homo at Omaha that
Saturday night. He was In no condition
to get home, from the fact that h had
been having a 'glorious' time with some
of the boys, and his train had long since
gone. He went to the hotel stenographer
and dictated a letter to hla wife explaining
the cause of his absence. But that waa a
pretty rocky proposition, too, so his only
recourse waa to urge that he had been de
tained by a pressing engagement to meet
an Important customer at Osawattomia,
Kan.
Spell th name of the town, please,'
said the stenographer.
Can't you spell It?' he asked. Why,
It'a Ossa w . Say, Miss, Just call It Fort
Scott.' "
During the recent hearing of the Great
Western case in th United States circuit
court In this city, a recess was taken for
a few moments and the lawyers Interested
lounged about in the hallway smoking and
telling stories. One prominent attorney
said that in Kansas a few years ago a
murder case was on trial and all the evi
dence waa in and the attorneys were argu
ing It to the Jury. The attorney for the
defendant was picturing the youth of the
accused, the provocation, and made an
earnest appeal in behalf of the accused's
mother, who he aald "had often had her
child kneeling' at her feet repeating the
Lord's prayer."
The prosecuting attorney Interrupted him
for a moment and offered to bet that the
attorney for the defense didn't know what
the Lord's prayer was, and that ha couldn't
repeat It. Ten dollars were staked In the
Judge's hands and the Judge agreed to de
cide the bet. So the attorney for the de
fense began:
"Now I lay me down to sleep; I pray the
Lord my soul to keep."
He had only got that far when the prose
cuting attorney agreed that he had lost
and so did the Judge, and the stakes were
turned over to the defendant's attorney.
Sergeant Merrlam, a retired regular array
soldier of over forty years' service. Is
spending a few weeks In the city. He was
a member of the Second cavalry during the
Sioux war days of 1867-70.
"I served at old Fort Omaha when this
was the Department of the Platte," he said,
"and Omaha has changed greatly since
those days. It waa a lively town though,
with the building of the Union Pacific road
west of here. Our duty was to guard the
builders from the attacks of the Indians,
and we had many a hot scrap with them.
Fort Fred Steele, Fort Sanders and Fort
Halleck were the prominent military posts
of those days. Fort Russell, at Cheyenne,
waa built along In 1R67 and there was also
a military poet called Fort McPherson and
another called Fort Sidney that our regi
ment garrisoned. These posts, are all
abandoned now and there Is ' nothing to
ahow of their former existence."
A. D. Beecher of Furnas county, was In
the city yesterday and In talking of the
corn outlook up the Republican valley aald:
"If the frost only keeps off about three
weeks longer we are going to have one
of the best crops of corn ever raised In the
Republican valley. I never saw corn look
ing finer for this season of the year. The
stalks are strong and vigorous and are of
uniform height, and carry almost Invari
ably two ears of well filled corn and some
of them three ears. Of course consider
able attention la being paid to alfalfa
throughout the valley and the crop on the
bench lands la as fine as could be desired.
The bottom lands were badly flooded dur
ing the June rise and a great many alfalfa
fields were destroyed. But there will be an
average crop out there this season
withstanding."

made of different stuff. They were hard
ened when they went Into the army and
after they had learned the business of
soldiering they were component part of
the finest army the world ever saw. As
I said before, all this Is changed. What
we need now la the hardening process not
only for the regulars, but for the National
Guard. If England was unprepared to go I
Into war with th Boers what must our
condition have been If we had gone to
war with a first rate power Instead of a
decrepld and senile nation like Bpaln. We
need a regular army of 326,000 men. One
of the most vital mlstakea to my mind thnt
has been made by ua a a nation was In
not throwing Into China during the late
Boxer difficulty an army of 20,000 men, for
Its moral effect. England was there, France
and Germany, Russia and little Japan,
with splendid army corps. We were there
finally with one regiment and a few troops
of cavalry. Other natlona could not help
but comment upon the situation. We could
easily have thrown 20,000 men Into China,
separating them from the Philippine serv
ice Just for the purpose of showing the
world that we were prepared for war shruld
war come. Our soldier is the peer of any
soldier In the world, but it is the spectacle
of numbers that weighs with the powers."
Dewey Want Navy.
While th army expected to do great
thing In th fulur under the direction
ot tho general staff, the navy ha already
taken up the question of strengthening the
fleet. Admiral Geoig Dewey' article In
the Navy League Journal, In which lie
how how futile )t would be for America
to pit it navy agalnat the navies of aome
of the foreign power like France. Great
Britain and Germany ha been also th
subject of much comment at the Army
and Navy club and hia recommendation, it
Is believed, will go far toward aiding con
gresa in th work of building a navy com
mensurate with our needs. In the cour
of his article the hero of Manila says:
"Our Immense coast line and our rapidly
Increasing world trade demand a navy; we
must hav It for our own protection; and
It reata with th Navy league to instill
thU ,oea ito th, minliM ot , classes of
cltlsens until the pressure of public opinion
gives us such a navy a is needed for th
country's prestige and safety.
"The British fleet that which la on home
water alone, forming but a fraction of th
British navy-nhich would be available as
an evolutionary squadron. Include thirty
battleship and thirty cruller. The home
French fleet Include sixteen battleships
and eleven cruiser; th horn fleet of Ger
many eight battleships and five cruisers.
"Of course, wn ar doing the best w can.
but th Navy leagu ahould not allow th
peopl In general to be deceived; and,
above all thing, ahould Impreaa upon them
the necessity of our having a fleet that will
combine all the various element f naval
strength."
McClelland for Lender.
An Interesting piece of gossip this week
Is the possible candidacy of Representative
George B. McClelland of New York for
the democratic leadership In the house. Th
only known candidates heretofore have
been John Sharp Williams and Champ
Clark of Missouri, both able and experi
enced men. McClelland Is the only aon of
General George B. McClelland, the demo
cratic candidate for president In 1$M. II
has been In congress for eight year and Is
popular. He is -able and conservative and
wilt, It Is said, have the support of the
democratic delegation from New Tork
state. New Tork. however, has furnished
but one speaker of the house, that was
John W. Taylor, and mor than sixty years
ago. The northern democrats hava not
been very successful since Randall'a time
In gaining democratic leadership In the
house. Carlisle beat Randall and served
three tarms. Crisp beat Springer and
Bynutn and served two- terms. Since th
death of Crisp the democratic leaders hava
been. Bailey of Texas and Richardson of
Tennessee.
, Early In the season there was a rumor
current that Congressman Richardson
would resign from the house to devote his
entire attention to Scottish Rite Masonry
for the southern Jurisdiction, of. which ha
Is sovereign grand commander. It is now
understood that Mr. Richardson will serve
the term for which he ha been elected,
but will give up the leadership of hla party.
Mr. Richardson has been long In active
political life. He has been compelled to
bear the brunt of many a hard fought po
litical battle on the floor of the house and
In committee. He believes that he has
earned a measure of rest and during the
fifty-eighth congress he will not be heard
to any large extent, except to now and
then make speeches upon questions In Which
he had an Interest since his advent In con
gress. Oklahoma Official Indicted. '
A telegram to Secretary Hitchcock from
United States District Attorney Horace
Speed of Oklahoma, says the United States
grand Jury has found three Indictments
against Contractor Stokes and th three
county commissioners for Kiowa county
for making false' vouchers and false cer
tificate for the purpose of defrauding the
government In connection with the build
ing of bridges. Stokes Is under arrest and
his bond has been fixed at 14,600. The
three Indicted county commissioners, It Is
said, have fled the country. This action
has been taken at the instanoe of Secre
tary Hitchcock as the result of an In
vestigation instituted by him . several
months ago, which revealed the fact that
gross frauds had been practiced In
Oklahoma In connection with contracts for
bridges, roads and buildings In the three
counties opened for settlement two years
ago. Secretary Hitchcock held up all bill
until he could have an Investigation made
and the present Indictments are the re
sult. Other arrests are expected to fol

longer we will have the best corn crop ever
raised In the county, and prices on all these
staples are high. We alwaya have plenty
of hay, and have ' this year, but some of
our lowlands have been rather wet for
harvesting the hay this year. The only
complaint our people have to make Is that
prices of fat cattle are not as good as
they should be, taking Into consideration
the prices of feed, which should more or
less govern the price of fat cattle. It is
generally believed, however, that the pres
ent prices are artificial and will soon be
regulated In accordance with the prices of
feed aa soon as the results of thin year's
crops are learned, and the most of the
ranchmen in our county are able to hold
their cattle till later in the season.
"Homesteads? Tes, we are having lota
of them. Hundreds of farmers who have
been drowned out In Iowa and Illinois are
selling out and coming Into Nebraska and
getting land ' that will stand more wet
weather, and also more dry weather, than
will the land they are leaving."
