THE WcBEWRY PUIMBEALER Mcft*Nftr PLAINDEALER 00., MCHENRY, ILLINOIS. Study by TraveL . Mr. Moseiy, the British commis- tftmer who came over to study our sjstem of education three years ago, bus a plan for continuing to keep England in touch with us education- \ ally. He has persuaded the Cunaui 1 and other transatlantic lines to fur­ nish passage for teachers at nominal rates during the winter season. Be­ tween November and March steam­ ship accommodations tor 500 will be provided. Arrangements will be made to care for teachers on their arrival here and to distribute them among university centers. This is a form of educational reciprocity of which there have been numerous manifestations in England within a year. The inter­ change of visits between French and British workingmen was a phase of it, as as the fraternizing of schoolboys from either side of the channel. Very recently French university . fellows , were welcomed as the guests of tie University of London. The institu­ tion of the Rhodes scholarships gave a great impetus to it. In a sense the Moseiy plan is an extension of the "sabbatical year" system under which the more fortunately placed American college instructors study abroad every seventh year on full or half pay. Such an exchange of teachers be­ tween nations is bound to be produc­ tive of heightened interest and in­ creased efficiency. Why should not the plan be adopted here? asks the New York World. If similar induce­ ments are held out to American teach­ ers to visit Europe for study and im­ proving travel it is likely that the main difficulty would be to restrict the number desiring to go. It should be feasible to secure like concessions for cheap transportation during the off season of travel and to make pro- Vision for expenses. The benefit to American teachers of educational trips abroad under such auspices would be inestimable. They could visit the culture centers of Europe at a most favorable time, when the tide of summer travel is over and the schools are in session. They would bring back all that is newest in edu­ cation in Berlin, Paris and Oxford. Or they could visit historic Athens and Syracuse , without danger to health, which is hardly possible in midsummer for persons of northern strain. Pupils not less than teachers would profit by the plan, and boards of education might well allow partial pay to those, undertaking such trips for general study. tttTDER SECRETARY OF STATE IS BADLY WOUNDED. STORMY SCENE IN CHAMBER Restoration to Army of Former Cap­ tain and Ficquart Compels Suspea-1' •ion of Session While Dep­ uties Wrangle. Terrible Loss to Mankind. The editor of the Bronson (Minn.) Budget has been reflecting as follows . upon the importance of environment: "Johnny Olson, eldest son of one An­ drew Olson, former owner of the Roseau-Stephen stage line, is now a convict in the prison at Stillwater, having shot a man over a game of cards. The fate of this otherwise Jnilliant lad would have been an en­ tirely different story had his early environment and training been dif­ ferent. Reared amid the scenes of lawlessness and vice common to the frontier, while yet a mere boy he had acquired the reputation of being the swiftest sport and most successful poker shark along the line, and we hear the news of his wild career with ao semblance of surprise. He would have been a credit to his state had his youth been led through channels of usefulness, and guided in the straight and narrow way. An orna­ ment to the legal fraternity of any state, a lawmaker, a leader among the leaders of the nation. Let us not with mere chagrin prospect this bit of ruined humanity. We cannot too closely observe the laws of God and man. Upon the children depends the fate of the nation." As Capt. Bunsby would wisely remark: "The bearings of this obserwation lays in the appli­ cation on it." The proposition to tax bachelors is HP fo- discussion again in England. The London Truth suggests the collec- tton ot such a tax by spinsters. The following imaginary colloquy takes place-: Female Collector--Are you a bach­ elor? Bachelor--Yes, madam. Female Collector--Be so good as to show me your passbook. (She exam­ ines ii.) Vou apparently make more than £800 a year, and you have evaded the tax by not declaring the amount of your earnings. You are li­ able to a fine of £200, but should you marry me, I will not report the matter te the authorities.

Paris.--The scene of tumultous dis­ order which marked the enactment Friday of thfe law restoring Alfred Dreyfus to the army, was followed by i bloody duel at night, in which Under Secretary of State Sarraut was dan­ gerously wounded by the sword of M. Pugliesi-Coiiti. The duel assumed the aspect of a veritable combat between the government and the opposition, as M. Sarraut's seconds were Ministers Clemenceau and Thomson, while M. Pugliesi-Conti's attendants were M. Millevoye and Gen. Jacquet, who were drawn from the elements which bitter­ ly resist the government's rehabitatiott t>f Dreyfus. (/i The meeting followed a fight on the floor of the chamber of deputies, in which M. Sarraut sprang from beside Minister of the Interioh Clemenceau, sitting on the ministerial benches, on M. Pugliesi-Conti, who had been heap­ ing Renunciation on the members of the government as scoundrels. Sar­ raut struck Pugeliesi-Conti a stunning blow in the face. A scene of the wild­ est uproar ensued, compelling the sus­ pension of the session. It was after the close of the session that the duel occurred. Late reports show that M. Sarraut is suffering from a deep, wound in the right breast, penetrating the lung. While the wound is considered to be serious, it is not necessarily dan­ gerous. Despite this sanguinary conflict laws were finally enacted by the chamber of deputies reinstating Dreyfus, •who ob­ tains the rank of a chief of squadron of artillery, and Picquart, who is made a brigadier general. Paris.--The supreme court Thurs­ day announced its decision annulling the condemnation of Capt. Dreyfus without a retrial. This is .a complete vindication of Dreyfus, entitling him to restoration to his rank in the army as though he had never been accused. The scene as the decision was pro­ nounced was impressive. The court, consisting of 49 judges, gowned in flowing red robes, solemnly mounted the bench. Deep silence prevailed as the presiding jurist read the long decision, minutely reviewing the se­ ries of sensational events of the last 12 years and completely exonerating Dreyfus of any wrongdoing, freeing him of the incriminating documents, on which the entire charge was found­ ed, and ordering the annulment of the judgment of the Rennes court-martial with the publication of the final an­ nouncement of his innocence in 50 newspapers, to be chosen by Capt. Dreyfus. WISCONSIN MARSHAL SLAIN Italian Laborers Attack Officer and Assistant Serving Warrants for Violation of Game Laws. La Crosse, Wis.--Deputy Sheriff Hafhmil of Pierce county, Wis., was dangerously injured and City Marshal Isaacs, of Prescott, Wis., killed in an attempt to arrest members of a gang of Italian laborers near Prescott, Hammil and Isaacs visited a gang of 50 Italians employed in track work on the Burlington and served warrants on several men wanted for violations of the Wisconsin game laws. One of the defendants was lodged safely in jail, but when the officers returned for the others the Italians turned on them with their shovels, beat Hammil to death and wounded Isaacs so badly that he was thought to be dead.

Seattle, Wash.--Immediately after the arrest of Esther Mitchell, the 17-year-old girl who killed her brother, orders were given for the ar­ rest of Mrs. Maude Creffield, widow of the prophet, whose death at the hands of George Mitchell led to the latest tragedy. Mrs. Creffield, however, telephoned the police where she was to be found. When taken to the station she admit­ ted she had entered into a compact with Esther to kill the slayer of her husband. She will be held as an ac­ complice. George Mitchell a few days ago killed P. E. Creffield, leader of the Holy Rollers, because, as Mitchell claimed, Creffield had wronged his: sister Esther: The tragedy took place in the Union depot in this city, where the Mitchell girl and her three brothers were wait­ ing for a train on which the brothers intended to depart for Oregon. After her arrest Esther Mitchell made the following statement: "Mrs. Creffield and I talked over the matter of killing George. The one that had the best chance was to do It. Mrs. Creffield bought the gun. •! thought I would have a better chance to do it than Mrs. Creffield, as my brother wanted to see me, and be* lieved that he would think nothing about my going to the depot. Then Mrs. Creffield gave me the gun and I was to do it. We agreed that it must be done as soon as possible. "My brother Fred was up to my room and said Perry and George were going to Portland. I went to the depot and saw Perry get his ticket. At last I saw George and I shook hands with him. He and Perry were walking in front and Fred and I were walking be­ hind. I was walking to the door and George was in front of me. That was the chance I wanted and I shot him. My brother Fred grabbed me and I sat down on his lap and put my arms about his neck. I sat there and the officer came. I intended to follow him to Portland if I did not get a chance here. I am not sorry I did the shoot ing; I am glad of it."

Cedar Rapids, la.--Eight children at a picnic on the river bank, only three blocks from home, went wading. The smallest one slipped into a deep bole in the river and in trying to rescue her six others were drowned. The dead: Lucille Sweeting, 7; Hazel Sweeting, 14; Gtadyfc Sweting, 10; Josie Sweting, 12";" Ruth Coyle, 11, Sioux City, Core Coyle, 9, Sioux City; Clara Usher, 16. Ruth Klersey, the only survivor, said they were wading when little Lucille Sweeting slipped off a shelf in the river bottom into a hole. Then tlie next girl rushed after her. And so they kept trying to save each other until all of the girls except Ruth Klersey had been drowned. This was the end of a picnic, the tragedy of a last forbidden frolic. The Sweeting children lived with their father near Ellis park, on the outskirts of this city. Clara Usher was a daughter of Sweeting's house­ keeper, and the Coyle children were her nieces, who were here on a visit. Story by Survivor. Ruth Klersey, the only survivor, said they were wading when little Lucille Sweeting slipped off a shelf in the river bottom into a hole. Then the next girl rushed after her. And so they kept trying to save each other until all of the girls except Ruth Klersey had been drowned. Four of the bodies were quickly re­ moved from the water, but it was too late to rescuscitate them. At four o'clock all of the bodies had been recovered except that of Clara Usher. They were taken home and laid in a row amid the sobbing of hundreds of men and women. The children had gone to the river with Mrs. Usher, who took her baby. M 'i" The -babr • Wto tJsher went home with it. Sand Proves Treacherous. The children immediately went wading in the river. Ruth Klersey went to the end of a long sand bar and, seeing that the water was deep at the end of the bar, warned the other children. Lucille Sweeting, however, ran to the end of the bar and, the sand yielding, slipped off into seven feet of water. Her cries brought Hazel Sweeting to her aid. In trying to pull Lucille back on the sand bar she, too, fell itito the deep water. Another child went to her as­ sistance and slipped in, and so on until seven of the eight children were in deep water. Some of them drowned helplessly, while two or three vainly tried to climb back on the sand bar out of deep water. Ruth Klersey, seeing the fate of her companions, then ran down the road crying to Mrs. Usher, overtaking her when almost home. Mrs. Usher left her baby in the road and ran back to aid the children . She managed to get hold of the hair of two of them and pulled them out of the water, But it was too late to save their lives. Dynamite Kills Laborers.

TRAIN WRECKED BY SPIKE Miscreants Cause Men to Lose Lives in Order to Be Avenged on Railroad. Petersburg, Ind.--The wreck of a west-bound freight train on the South­ ern railroad eight miles west of here resulted in the loss of three.lives. The west end of the switch was spiked, so as to get either the east or west bound train. The freight was making 30 miles an hour when the engine ran into a spiked switch and topped over. The entire train left the track, demolish­ ing many cars and totally wrecking the engine. The only known motive for the work of the WrecKers is ill feeling against the railroad by certain persons be­ cause the railroad company, which owns the Muren mines, insisted on running their mines during the recent trouble between the operators and miners, but paid the scale price during the entire time.

He then took a train for the west, where he will continue to look Into the pack­ ing industry. This move by the government is looked upon as a drastic action to force the packers to pursue with vig­ or the work of renovating their plants. Announcement is made in the same declaration that the inspection under the new law will begin at once in plants where sanitary conditions jus­ tify it, and the government label may be used by the owners of such plants. Chicago establishments are mentioned specifically and are said to be .on the way to Improvement. The sec­ retary says he considers that they will be ready for inspection by Au­ gust 1, but that if they are not they will not get the inspection even then.

Butler Tells How to Eat and How to As­ similate. fir. George F. Butler, medical super- intendent of the Alma Springs Sani­ tarium, Alma, Mich., in the October number of "How to Live," gives some interesting as well as sensible rules for acquiring and keeping health. He says: "Without we eat and drink, we die! The provocative to do both rests with the appetite, which, in process of time, becomes a very uncertain guide; for the palate will often induce a desire and relish for that which is most mischievous and indigestible. The old saying of 'eat what you like' Is now shunned by everybody of 20 years' experience. Still, without appe­ tite, it is a very difficult affair to sub­ sist--for the pleasure depends chiefly upon the relish. The relish may be­ come, as has been stated, a vitiated one, but it is quite possible to make the stomach, by a little forbearance and practice, as enamored of what is wholesome and nutritious, as of that which is hurtful and not concoctible." Again he says: "The delicate should feed carefully, not abundantly; ik is not quantity which nourishes, but"only that which assimilates." , "Be careful of your digestion" is the keynote of the doctor's argument. He says: "Health in man, as in other animals, depends upon the proper per­ formance of all functions. These functions may be shortly said to be three: (1) tissue jchange; (2) re­ moval of waste; (3) supply of new material. For the activity of man, like the heat of the fire by which he cooks his food, is maintained by combustion; and just as the fire may be prevented from burning brightly by Improper disposition of the fuel, or imperfect supply of air, and as it will certainly go out if fresh fuel is not supplied, and may be choked by its own ashes, so man's activity may be lessened by imperfect tissue change and may be put an end to by an in­ sufficient supply of new material and imperfect removal of waste products. "We should see to it that free elim­ ination is maintained, for the ashes must be kept out of the system in or­ der to have good health. The skin, kidneys and bowels must do their eliminative work properly. If the bowels occasionally become torpid, try to regulate them with exercise and proper food, such as fruits, green vegetables, salads, cereals, corn, whole wheat or graham bread, fish, potfltry, light soups, etc. Plenty of water is also valuable, and a glass full of cold or hot water the first thins? upon ris­ ing in the morning will aid much in overcoming constipation. Regular habit, cold baths, and massage are very efficacious. In case the consti­ pation does not yield to these hygi­ enic measures, some simple, harmless laxative may be required, such as Cali­ fornia Syrup of Figs--a non-irritating preparation of senna in fig syrup. Laxative mineral waters are bene­ ficial in some cases, but not to be em­ ployed continually. "Above all be an optimist, keep the heart young. Cultivate kindness, cheerfulness and love, and do not for­ get that 'we shall pass through this world but once.' Any good thing, therefore, that we do, or any kind­ ness that we show to any human be­ ing, let us do it now. Let us not deffr It or neglect it, for we shall not pass this way again."
