Washington, Dec. 24.—The sixth an- nual report of the director of educa- tion ® the Philippines covering the activiues of the educationai work in the islands for the year ending June 30, 1906 shows that there are now 3,166 primary schools in the islands with am average attendance of 375,554 pu- pils. Seven hundred American and 6,224 Filipino teachers are employed. All of the schoo! divisions, the report Says, conducted teachers institutes varying from four to six weeks in the different provinces. The instruction given was divided between the com- mon branches of the intermediate courses and special topics of instrac- tion, such as school gardening, domes- tic science, primary industrial work and methods of teaching. There are 2,454 primary school buildings in the islandds owned by the municipalities and, in addition a number of buildings belonging to the provinces but not constructed origin- ally for school purposes are used. Pri- vate instruction, the report says plays a large part in the intellectual life of the islands.

Two Months From the Night His Mules Were Hamstrung. Relentlessly Pursued by Enemy or Madman. On Friday morning James W. Alli- son discovered that one of his horses had been hamstrung in one leg dur- ing the night. He had driven the horse to Elizabeth Chappel to a box supper and returned home about 11 o'clock and tled the horse in the barn. He fed the stock early in the morning, but did not go in behind the horse, and consequently did not notice the mutilation until after breakfast. Veterinarian McAninch was called and endeavored to save the animal’s life, by sewing up the wound and dressing it, but it be- came restless and broke the wound over and had to be killed. On October 20th, just two months to the day, two mules, which Mr. Allison had just traded for, were mutilated in the same manner and had to be killed. The mules were cut with a sharpcorn kaife, which be- longed to Mr. Allison, and a nick was broken in the blade by coming {n contact with the bone of the leg. The same knife was in the barn, but Mr. Allison says he is satisfied that {t was not used on the horse, as it bore no evidence to that fact. ; A deep mystery pervades the whole affair. If Mr. Allison hasan enemy in the world who would do him an injury he says he does not know him. If it is the work of an insane person, why should he seek out Jimmy Alli. son alone for his visitation? Mr. Allicon and. John : Seelinger called at'Taz Tuts office on Mon- day and Mr. Allison authorized the publication of an article in another column, offering a reward of $200 for the apprehension and conviction of the guilty party. Every. good citizen hopes the miscreant will be caught, and if he {sand bis guilt is Order is Only Temporary.
