DELIVERED FINE ADDRESS AT MEETING OF TEAGHERS Continued from First Page remote. Colleges and Universities may be centralized but even this is being disputed by professors in large colleges, but training schools must be localized. “Do you know that about 90 per cent of the students of our normals came from a radius of less than fifty miles? “Do you know that there isan area in northern Minnetota almost wholly unrepresented in our Nor- mals, of nearly one third of the State, and barring the three large cities employing fully one-sixth of the teachers of Minnesota? Do you know that this vast area that is not contiguous to any Normal school is about three times the size of Massachusetts with her eight nor- mals? That it is nearly as large as the states of New York or Pennsylvania with nearly a score of Normals? Do you also know that outside of the large villages and cities in this district scarcely a trained teacher is to be found? Is it not time that Northern Minne- sota awoke from her slumbers and Coats that fit” The form-fitting cloaks that are made to our order in the celebrated Workshop of Worth are cut on special lines so that they adapt themselves to figures of different waist- lengths. This is pleasing news to ladies who are partial to neat tailored effects, and we invite all such to test the fitting qualities of all ovr gar- ments shown in our de- partments.

BERMAN EMPORIUM Did Not Cass Lake, Nov. 1.—(Special to Pioneer.)—After one of the most bitter and exciting elections ever held in this turbulent community, the voters of the village of Cass Lake have determined by vote of 197 to 114, that they, at this time, do not desire the construction of a new city hall, About three years ago, the. State Board of Charities and Corrections coAdemned the small building which was originally erected to be used as a combined city hall and jail. Since that time succeeding village councils have endeavored to erect a building complying with the requirements of the state board, and also suitable for the official use of the village. In fact, the work of excavating for the building was at different times com- menced,but injunctions were secured, whereby the completion of the work was prevented. Recently, the existing village council decided to erect a new village hall on what is known as the “Sec- tion 16” portion of the village, which was but recently incorporated as part of the village government. This action of the council stirred up strife and contention, with the re- sult that a temporary injunction was obtained from Judge McClenahan, forbidding the erection of the hall at the site selected, despite the fact secure what is coming to her? there any good reason why the boys and. girls of southern Minne- sota should have better trained teachers than the boys and girls of northern Minnesota? “I believe there is -a demand STRIFE AND CON' CONTENTION OVER THE BOND ELECTION Village of Cass Lake Sceme of Bitter Fight Over Bond Election for Building of City Hall.---The Bonds Carry. that the council had given a contract for the completion of the building. The election held yesterday was for the purpose of voting bonds with which to derive funds for the com- pletion of the building, for which contract had been let by the coun- cil. Prior to the election there was a very bitter personal fight between the advocates of the bonds and those opposing them. Printed cir- culars were issued in which the lie was passed and some bitter incen- tives used between the contending factions. The entire village had been in a turbulant state since the election was called, and a bitter feeling was engendered that will take consider- able time to remedy. The election was a victory for those opposed to the bonds, and the village of Cass Lake will have to be contented to transact its official business at the “same old stand.” F. B. Merrill and Miss Anna Rasmussen were united in marriage yesterday at Superior. Mr. Merrill is the loal agent for the Great North- ern railway and is one of the most prominent citizens of this place. Miss Rasmussen is one of the lead- ing young ladies of Wahpeton, N. D. Mr. and Mrs. Merrill will make their home in Cass Lake. s| not the time in this busy age to give the proper attention to the rearing of their children. “There seems to be a téndency on the part of those who attend school for a considerable time to look down on labor with the hands, as though for a college of education at our State University but I believe there are greater reasons why another normal school should be located in northern Minnesota. “Just such meetings as these are great helps in solving the problems of this nature which must first be agitated and then worked out. The teachers themselves are not aggres- interest, to the public. timid and luke warm about matters which ought to concern them greatly. “In these meetings, matters of contests of any kind should be dis- cussed and to my opinion, contests of any description should never take place between schools until both sides should be fully informed of all conditions and then the defeated school should be taught how to take a defeat. “What would be better, in my opinion, would be for the schools engaging in athletic contests to make pre-arrangements for the season’s games. A regular schedule should be made "out early in the season, rules and regulations adopted and schools ‘violating them should be dropped from the list. I main- taim that if athletic sports are a hindrance, if they are not a help to our schools, if they cannot be con- trolled and kept in proper bounds, they should be dropped from our public schools. This should apply to all athletic sports, whether it be football, baseball, basketball, field meets or what-not, and I believe further, that these sports, if given in our schools, should be more for the sake of the sport than the spirit to win at all hazards. “While this talk may seem some- what pessimistic, it is not given in that spirit.” I believe that our schools are progressing and that they are today preparing pupils for their life’s work better -than ever before. There is a question whether or not the schools and homes are are working together to the best interest of the student. Sometimes I fear that the home is resting too easily and takes too little responsi- bility in the rearing of the young. No longer do we see the father, mother and children gathered around the fireside of evenings talking over the events of the day, each one doing his little work for which he is responsible. “No longer do_ we find the boy learning the trade or. profession of his father or the "gitls taking lessons in house-craft from her mother, but too often do we find any or all of them away from home not 'knowing when or where to expect the other. It is too bnd that the parentu have i oy sive enough in presenting matters of | They are’ it was a thing to be dispised. This is not as it should be and I am not sure”that it is the fault of the schools. I am rather of the opinion that it is the fault of society. The schools of today are trying to overcome this evil by the introduction of manual training in our schools which I think is 4 worthy substitute for the loung- ing around and whittling dry good’s boxes provided it is not carried too far, = “In closing let me say our schools were never better nor prospects better. Pendulums may swing too far but in due time they always find their correct amplitudes. So with our fads, we must have them in order that we may strikea correct balance sheet.” |SUES RED LAKE RAILROAD FOR $10,000 DAMAGES R. A. Botting, a Brakeman, Has Begun a Personal Injury Case for a Big Sum. A personal injury suit for $10,000 damages has been commenced by R. A. Botting against the M., R. L. & M. railway for personal injuries, claimed to have been received by the plaintiff while in the employ of the defendant railway company. Papers in the case were prepared yesterday, E. E. McDonald of this city acting as attorney for Botting. Botting was employed as brake- man on a log train belonging to the M., R. L. & M. company during the month of June, this year. While working on the train near Nebish, he was severely injured, his body being crushed and one of his fingers being so badly jammed that amputa- tion was necessary. For these in- juries Botting sues the railway com- pany for damages in the sum of $10,000. Says Deer Are Plentiful John Vogler, who is now living on his claim near Nebish, and who is an agriculturist of the most pro- nounced type, was in the city yes- terday from his home. John brought down with him a wolf which had fallen by a well-directed shot from his rifle, and on which he will realize $7.50 bounty from the state. Mr. Vogler states that deer are very numerous in the vicinity of his home, and that he intends to have some vension as soon as the season opens for killing deer and moose.

Chicago, Nov. 1.—The Chicago postofiice went to the rescue of post- offices in the West in a material way as a result of the financial stringency. Postmasters in many towns were seri- eusly handicapped by the lack of cur- rency with which to pay money or- ders and a hurry call was sent to Chicago for aid. ' The appeal will prob- ably result in this city sending out a considerable amount of currency, as at Postmaster Campbell’s office it was sald there was plenty of money on hand. Mitchell Again Under the Knife, Indianapolis, Nov. 1.—Information has been received at the headquar- ters of the United Mine Workers of America here. that it was necessary for President. John Mitchell, who is in the hospital at T.a Salle, II, to nridergo an operation for an abdom- inal abscess. -According to informa- tlon received he is resting as comfort- ably and is In as good condition as could be expected.

THREE INDIANS SLAIN Battle Between Federal Troops and Reds in Southern Utah. CAUSE OF CLASH UNKNOWN 8oldlers Had Been Sent on a Practice March Through Reservation, as Thelr Presence Was Expected to Have a Beneficial Effect. ‘Washington, Nov. 1.—In a battle between United States troops and In- dians, which occurred in Southern Utah several days ago, three persons were killed and anothor gyounded, all believed to have been Iflians, The hews of the occurrence was conveyed to the Indian bureau in a telegram from Superintendent Shelton of the San Juan agency. The army command consisted of four officers, seventy-four men and three Indian scouts. The telegram to the Indian bureau, which was dated at Ship Rock, N. M., follows: “The troops have returned from Southern Utah. They arrested Bylillie and nine other Indians, Three others were killed and one wounded while shooting at the Indians. The Indians are quiet and I do not anticipate fur- ther trouble.” This is the first information re- celved here regarding the encounter. The officials of the Indian bureau as- sume that the killed and wounded were Indians. Indians Were Troublesome. | The Indians taken into custody are part of a band of Navajos that has been making trouble on the Navajo reservation In Northwestern New Mexico and Northeastern Arizona. For some time a number of Indians under the leadership of Bylillie have been creating disturbances because of their disinclination to observe the regula- tions of the Indian office and their efforts to prevent others of the tribe from doing so. So pronounced have their objections become and so offen- sive their actions that Superintendent Shelton made a request that a body of soldiers be sent to the reservation and, accordingly, Troops I and K of the Fifth cavalry, under command of Captain H. O. Willard, were dis- patched from Fort Wingate, N. M., to Arnette, Utah, on Oct. 22, It was understood at the time that they should simply go through the Indian country on a practice march and it was not intended that their presence should mean any more than a demon- stration to the Indians, Mr. Shelton’s idea Dbeing that the mere sight of the soldiers would have a quieting effect upon the turbulent members of the tribe. NO IMMEDIATE DANGER. Army Officer Reports Situation at Cheyenne Reservation, ‘Washington, Nov. 1.—The war de- partment has received a telegram from Captain Carter P. Johnson, who was dispaiched to the Ute Indian camp in South Dakota to conciliate that tribe, who threatened outbreak. The telegram, which was sent from Thunder Butte, S. D., says: “Visited Ute camp. Found them quietly awaiting our arrival, expecting me to be able to_adjust their difficulty. ‘WIIT hold countll with head men and will report results of meeting. Agent hag dismissed voluntary force and controls situation with Indian police. No immediate danger to life and prop- erty.” RAISES DISCOUNT RATE. Bank of England Forced to Take Pro- tective Measures, London, Nov. 1.—The rate of dls- count of the Bank of England has been ‘raised from 4% to 5% per cent. The increase had been regarded as a) foregone conclusion in consequence nr the inroads made upon the Bank of England’s stock of gold by the de- mand from America and the recent rise in the discount rate of the Im- perial bank of Germany. During the past week the United States secured about £3,250,000 in gold from the Bank of England and in the open mar- ket and the bank’s reserve had been reduced to about £21,500,000, which, however, was £3,500,000 higher than at this time last year, when the bank | rate was 6 per cent. It was hoped | early in the month that the Bank of‘ England might finish the year without | Increasing the rate, but the financial flurry in America upset these caloula- tions and caused unwelcome pressure here, necessitating protective meas- ures. Escaped Gonvict From Minnesota. Oakland, Cal, Nov. 1.—Frank Smith, alias Marshall, an escaped con- vict from the Minnesota state refor- matory at St. Cloud, has been arrested in Berkeley, Cal., and turned over to the Oakland police to await the arrival of an officer from the Minnesota state institution.
