WOMEN STUDENTS OUT Expelled From Russian Univerversities by the Czar. One of the most sweeping re pressive measures ever attempt ed by the czar was promulgated Monday, when M. Von Kauft man, minister of public instruc tion, decreed that all women stu dents be expelled from Russian universities and none be admit ted henceforth. It was known that such a move was under consideration, owing to xne revolutionary activity ot many of the women students, but there was little idea that such a radical step would be taken. The new edict affects 2200 women, many of whom are nearing graduation, and hundreds of whom are making fearful sacrifi ces to obtain an education.

WASTE MORE THAN WE USE

AMERICANS EXTREMELY EXTRAVAGANT WITH RESOURCES 500,000 TONS OF COTTON ARE WASTED YEARLY The American nation has the reputation of wasting almost as much of its resourses as it uses. Facts arc often advanced to show that there is much truth in such a statement. A practical paper maker recently called attention to a few of the sources of enormous waste when speaking of the number of materials in America's refuse heaps, which are worth while considering as promising substitutes for wood pulp. The northwest annually produces a million and a half tons of Hax stalks which are not now used for anything. That amount of waste remains afrer the 'twine makers take all they want. It makes excellent paper. The farmers in the south burn or plow under thirteen million tons of cotton stalks every year. That which is p'.owed under is not wholly lost, for it enriches the soil to some extent, but not so what goes up in smoke. Five hundred thousand tons of fibre hae been adhering to cotton seed every year". It has been fed to farm stock along with the seed and has done the stock no good. Cattle and sheep do not like the fiber and the seed cake is better without it. A machine has been invented, which, it is claimed. will separate the lint from the eed. Paper makers think they can use it. Nobody knows how many mil lion tons of cornstalks go to waste; but in quality they are far ahead of cotton stalk, and it is believed they can be made into paper, although it has not yet been done on a commercial scale. Thousands of acres of wild hemp grow in the southwestern part of the country,, particularly along the .Colorado river. Its only use now is to shelter Jack rab bits and coyotes, but it has splen did fiber and tests on a small scale show that excellent paper can be made from it. , Paper making fromistraw is a well established industry. Bookbinders use thousands of tons of Miawuuaru. i lie siaw "vvnicn ... 1 1 'IM.- 1-' 1J goes to waste in western wheat fields would brine: fortunes if made into paper. ' Lists of fibrous or woody plants suitable for paper are almost with out limit, but only a few may be had in quantity sufficiently large to be worth considering. ine ume nas not yet come when it is absolutely necessarv that substitutes for pulp wood be found, but it is coming. The forests are still able to furnish materials for paper, but they cannot continue to do so for a great many years to come, at the present rate of cutting and growth. Makers of paper anticipate a scarcity of pulp wood, and it is this which prompts the active search now going on for substiutes. No Recruit May Weigh Less Than 120 Pounds Without Special Order.

MAKES EXCELLENT RECORD Trustee of Center Township Reduces Debt $10,500. Center Township Trustee Fred Corse Friday paid off $2000 of the township's indebtedness. Four years ago when Mr. Corse entered into his office, the debt of Center township was $24,000. This Mr. Corse has by rigid economy and hard labor, reduced to $3500. Before leaving his office, Mr. Corse expects to have the township debt entirely paid oil. This is truly an excellent showing.

READING FIRST

SAYS COTTON STATE SUPERINTENDENT IS PREPARING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHOOL TEACHERS AS AID IN COMING YEAR. Discussion of the subject of. reading and the best method ol teaching it has a prominent place in the course of study which Fassett A. Cotton, state superintendent of public instruction, is preparing for the schools of the state during the coming year. Mr. Cotton declares that read- , . ,i . . ing staiuis nrst in tue course ui studv because it furnishes the key that unlocks the door to every other subject and that in teaching it the child should be divorced to a large extent from the text book and the child's world should fur nish the basis of his choice in reading. "The teacher may set it down as unqualifiedly true," says Mr. Cotton, "that the child can not be taught to read from a text book." Through reading, Mr. Cotton . a a i i says, the cnnu is to nnu out an he will ever know. His work is interpretation and it may be me- . i 1 i rcnanicai or ueepiy signmcant. The child when he conies to school, has an ear vocabulary and reading must help him translate this into an eye vocabulary. The printed words that he learns will oecome the symbols of the deep er siirnificance of life and in them he must learn to read his most subtle experience. The every-day experience ol the child with all hisx imagery must be employed in the interpretation, it is declared. Natural expression on the part of the Child can come only out of his own life He must furnish his own reading lesson out of the abundance of his own experience and must tell it in his own way. The child may give the fullest and most natural expression to some childish experience and when the teacher has written the experience on the black-board, the child may be made to realize that the language is the symbol of his actual experience. Then later, Mr. Cotton says, after the child has learned to read, the teacher should still make his choice of reading matter reflect the life of the child. "The poet ry of nature and the prose of farm and field should be chosen in part at least," it is suggested, "because in these the Child will find himself and will realize that his world is recognized." This, of course re fers principally to the country pu pil, and the country boy and girl, Mr. Cotton declares, possess the imagery with which to interpret Shakespeare, Wordswort'i, Gray, Thompson, Hums, liryant and Whittier. Discussing the requisites of ; good teacher of reading, Mr, Cot ton says reading can only be per fectly natural when the reader feels what he is reading. In the school room the child should be just as free and natural in his reading as he is in his play at home. "This can never be 'under the traditional school room order. Under the strained relations that generally exist, natural expression is impossible. Teacher and children must be themselves. Ability to maintain such relations is the first requisite of a good teacher of reading. Thej:hild for the time must be the character portrayed. The teacher who can make the child forget his surroundings and lose himself in the lesson has a rare quality. The lessons should come out of the lives of the children themselves instead of books." POISON IN STOMACH OF GUNNESS FARM VICTIM How Woman Killed No Longer A Mystery. Coroner Mack of LaPor'te, on Saturday received from Dr. 'alter Haynes, of Rush Medical college, Chicago, information to the effect that he fqund in his, examination of the stomach of Awdrew Heleglein, of Aberdeen, S. D., whose dismembered body was fo.iiid buried with nine others on the farm of Mrs. Hella Gunness, traces of both arsenic and strichninc, Dr. Haynes will make a formal nd detailed report in a few days. The finding of the traces of poison in the stomach gives the first authentic information on the manner in which Mrs. Gunness disposed of her victims. Attorney II. W. Worden, who is looking after the defense of Ray Lamphere, charged with the murder of Mrs. Bella Gunness, her three children and Andrew Helgclein, is very much wrought up over the attitude of the county officials in the Gunness case, and has made a public appeal to the citizens to come to the rescue of the defense by signing notes to be paid in event of the apprehension of Mrs. Gunness. The statement was also occasioned by the receipt of a letter from a Missouri man,wJhosc name the attorney refuses to make public, declaring that if the $5,000 reward is offered and a man who knows Mrs. Gunness is sent to him, he will produce the missing woman at a place seventy miles from his own town- Attorney Worden declines o place this information in possession of the authorities, but says he will act upon it himself.

TAFTS SUCESS0R IS CHOSEN

WILL BE SUCCEEDED AS SECRETARY OF WAR BY GENERAL LUKE E. WRIGHT, A DEM OCRAT OF TEN-' NESSEE. Official announcement is made at the White House of the resignation of Mr. Taft as secretary of war and the appointment of Gen. Luke E. right of Tennessee to succeed him. The following correspondence a . . was givtn out at the White House Friday; "Washington, June 19, 1908: "Mr. President: I hereby tender my resignation as' secretary of war to take effect June 30th next. ery respectfully vours, "William H. Taft." -Hon. William H. Taft "Your resignation is hereby ac cepted to take effect June 30. " I heodorc Roosevelt. "June 19, 1908." Following the resignation of Secretary Taft and the president's acceptance the announcement was made at the White House that Luke E. Wright of Tennessee, would be made secretary of war. Accompanying it was the announcenrrnt: "In appointing him the president was influenced by a desire to recognize in an emphatic way the fact that there is no longci c.n uiviuuiij une oetween ine north and south; that all good Americans are in thought and deed one. And the president was influenced still more by the fact that Governor Wright's personal attributes and experience preeminently fit him for this position. As Philippine commissioner and later vice governor and governor c won the affection and regard of the army to a high degree and many of the most distinguished of the men who served in the army at the time he was in the Philippines have urged his appointment because they felt that he was in a peculiar way their champion and to a peculiar degree understood them and their needs This is especially true as re gards the men who are veterans of the Civil war, for they grew to feel that he was specially inter ested in their welfare. "Moreover, his great adminis trative and legal ability peculiarly fit him to deal with matters aris ing in this office." NEVER HEARD OF T. R. Delaware Farmer Learns a Lot When He Goes to City. James T. Calhoun, fifty-eight years old and a farm hand, living sixteen miles from Georgetown Delaware, has just learned that Theodore Roosevelt is President of the United States, and that there are such things as cameras, airships and automobiles in existence. Making the first trip on steam cars and his first visit from Georgetown ,Calhoun arrived in town very much bewildered. He said he was all tangled up, and that he didn't know whether he was walking on his head or his feet half of the time. He gasped when some one tried to take a picture of him. "Ain't taking any chances with those dum things," remarked he as he leaped to one side, expecting the camera to blow forth a few six-pounders. ' When some one in the group of men standing around him asked him if he had any definite views on Roosevelt's pojicies, Calhoun calmly replied that he had once heard somebody speak the Greek language, and that sounded very much like it. "What!" exclaimed the man. "Haven't you heard about Roosevelt?" The farmer had just remarked that he had not, when an automobile dashed by. This was too much for Calhoun. He's going right back to the farm. He firmly believes that the story about airships is a fake. CANAL WILL BE FINISHED IN 5 YEARS Secretary Bishop of Isthmian Commission Reports Progress on Waterway. Joseph E. Bishop, secretary of the Isthmian Canal Commission, arrived in New York Wednesday from Colon and will go to Washington to make a report on conditions in the canal zone. Mr. Bishop said that despite the heavy rainfall in Panama the .work of excavating continued rapidly. The work is ' progressing so speedily that the men on the commission assert the canal will be ready for ocean-to-ocean transportation at the end of five years. Ccurt Orders Sale of Printing Plant.

The inventory of the plant gives an appraisement of $13,000. There is no certainty as to who will buy the only evening newspaper in the city but it is reasonably certain that there will be bidders.

PAPER TRUST IS HIT LIGHT

MANILA WRAPPING PAPER MAKERS GET OFF WITH A FINE OF $2,000 EACH IN FEDERAL COURT. Twenty-four companies manu: facturing manila wrapping pap er were fined .$1,000 each by Judge Hough in the United States Court at New York Monday. They pleaded guilty on Friday last to maintaining an ll legal combination in restraint of trade. Thev were members ol the Manila and Fiber Associa tion. In imposing the fines Judge Hough said that the combination of paper manufacturers was a clear violation of the Sherman anti-trust law, but because of extenuatincr circumstances he would impose a fine only. The companies arranged to pay their fines through their counsel. - The case against the companies was instituted through the instrumentality of the , American Newspaper Publishers' Association, for which John NorriS, of New York, acted as agent. The companies composed almost the entire membership of the combine of wrapping paper manufacturers which was organized by John H. Parks in 190C. On complaint of Mr.Norris the Federal grand jury beganan investigation of the combine two months ago, and on Friday last returned lirdictments against Parks and twenty-five companies Mr. Parks was in Europe, but Solomon M. Stroock, counsel for the combine, appeared in the Federal Court and pleaded guil ty for twenty-three of the' com panies. District Attorney Stim son, who had charge of the cases, stated in court that in view of the fact that the companies had sav ed the Government expense by pleading guilty he was willing that light fines should be impos ed. Counsel for the companies de clared that the combine was formed two, vears ago to save them from bankruptcy because of tie methods of agents for con sumers, who, he alleged, favored first one group oi paper mills and then another irf order to cut prices. Counsel also stated that the combine was dissolved when it learned that the association came within the provisions of the Sherman law. F1ÜTA1L5 KUA1 DejAu FOR WOMEN'S 'RATS' Executed Bandits and Cemeteries Furnish Crop to Deck Americans ,A ton of Chinese hair for th "rats of American women form ed part of the cargo of the big freighter Wry Castle, which has just arrived at New York from the Orient. The hair came from the heads of the Chinese bandits who had been beheaded and is valued at more than $5,000. Enough of the hair is on boan the Wry to. provide thousands o American girls with the fteces sary "filling" and great care was taken on the freighter, to keep i from exposure of any sort tha might spoil it for the market in the United Mates. 'Hardly had the consignment of the Chinese hair been brought to the American docks on Staten Island before the. British steam ship Seneca arrived at quarantine with twenty-two cases of Chin ese pig-tails, which, according to Captain urimes, were collected in Chinese cemeteries by Amer icans, who collected the crew some souvenirs for profit in three months plunder of Chinese bu ial grounds. "The gathering of hair ' in Unna, said Captain Grimes, "is quite an industry over there When a Chinaman is buried h 'is placed in a hole in the ground in an upright position, with th head sticking out of the ground. The head is closely shaved, ex cept for the pigtail. The Chinese believe that their big Joss comes around in the night and takes the soul of the buried one to heaven by the pigtail. "After the first visitation of the Americans with their shears the brothers and sisters of the buried one reported that Joss had ben busy with their relatives and were content in the belief that Joss had lifted the souis'to heaven by the missing pigtails."

FAIRBANKS SAYS "NO.

Vice President in Formal State ment Declines Renomination 'for Office. Charles Warren Fairbanks of Indiania, in a formal letter to his campaign manager, Joseph 13. Kealing, made public Wednesday night, reiterated and uttered more forcibly than ever before his de termination not to accept renomination for the vice presidency. The publication of Mr. Fair banks' letter on the eve of the presidential nomination was generally accepted as a final and pos itive refusal of the Vice Presi dent to entertain any considera tion of the hopes of his friends that he might again yield to the wishes of his party. The letter was received with conflicting views, despite the fact that similar intimations have tome from the Vice President be fore. While many of the leaders considered it the final judgment ot Mr. .Fairbanks, there were some of the party leaders who believed that the announcement might result in the naming of the vice President to succeed himself and that he would not refuse if the party unanimously named him as the running mate for Secretary Taft. This letter caused considerable excitement amonjr the avowed vice presidential candidates, who immediately began rustling about among the delegations, only to nna nttie comfort tor the reason that the administration forces ha absolutely refused to dicker any further with the situation un til after the candidate for Presi dent has been named. That was the exact situation Wednesday nignt. The Taft forces are not talkin I rr to anyone -about the vice oresi dency. They shuti up on the prop osition two or three days ago and will not discuss it. Mr. Fairbanks' communication was as follows: "Indianapolis, June 1C My Dear Mr. Kealing: I appreciate tui iv the component paid me bv my friends in their insistence that I should accept a renomination for Vice President, yet my deter mination not to be a candidateXI . , m dgdin, as announced Detore the close of the last session of Congress through you, is absolutely irrevocable. My conclusion does not grow out of any want of appreciation of the honor, ior the Vice Presidency is an honor which any man may w;ell covet. No one is obliged tb step down to it. "I have enjoyed the great honor which came to me unsought and by the undivided vojee of my party, for which I , am profoundly grateful. "This renewed expression of the confidence of my friends touches me most deeply. They need no assurance that I have come to the conclusion I have reached deliberately and I trust that the personal considerations which I have advanced will commend themselves to their approval. I am the more confirmed in the wisdom of my conclusion because of the fact that there is no party exigency which would seem to suggest a contrary course. "Accept for yourself and other friends my grateful appreciation of your generous, unfailing and loyal support. "I remain, faithfully your friend Charles W. Fairbanks."
