In view of the recent sale to its
former editor, Mr.. Joseph Medill, of
controlling in the Chicago Irib-
ane the following facts concerning
that paper may be of interest:
The stock of the Tribune Compa-
nv is 100000 at its par value, di-
vided into 200 shares Of 81, 900 each.
Messrs. Cowles and White sold six
ty shares for the above named sum,
being at the rate of $4,000 per share,
and they retain forty-one shares. Mr..
Medill now owns LOG shares. and will
of course be the chief editor. Mr..
Coales will remain as heretofore the
business manager, and we under.
stand that Mr.. White, after making
journey to Europe. will resume his
connection with the paper as edito-
rial writer. During the nine years
that Mr.. White has been the chiei
editor of the Tribune its net profits
have averaged $4,000 per year
from which it appears that although
Mr. Medill has made this purchase
on the basis of 100000 for the
whole establishment, he has got ,
very good thing.

Dubuque has genuine sensation
over the summary death OF Frank
Rohmburg at the hands Of Charles
Wagner for alleged adultery with
the lattcrs wife. These two men
were neighbors, and had been good
friends until a month ago. IT that
time Wagner accused Rohmburg
with improper intimacy with his wife,
which the latter strenuously denied,
and alleged that it was plan to ex-
tort money from him. Mrs. Wagner
left for Hannibal, Missouri, alleging
that she was driven to this by want
of support and cruelty on the part of
her husband. The case got into
court, but last Wednesday Wagner
loaded double-barreled shot gun,
and finding Rohmburg in his saloon
shot him dead.

We want to see revolution in
this field of Sabbath school music.
There is no end of new books. It
is so easy to get them up and palm
them off upon an unsuspecting,
easily deceived public, that men
who know scarcely moro than the
first rudiments Of scanning and the
foundation of q common chord

mical and musical platitudes. We
want less in quantity but . very
decided advance in quality. The

congregational, and If we would
have it first class, the education in
the Sunday school must be thor
ough. .ta 1a7a9e8
To this end the Sabbath school
should be the happiest place in the
church. The room should be light
and cheerful, comfortably furnished,
well equipped with sufficient good
singing books, one for each child,
and a melodeon or piano. A small
pipe organ is q luxury which only
. few churches are able to supply
to the school, though . little less
waste on towers, chimes and super
fuous external adornments would
leave ample means to make the
| inside appurtenances more com
plete. We protest against the
disregard Of the rightful claims of
children by architects and church
committees in respect to construo-
ton apd equipment of Sunday
school rooms Although land costs
nothing upward, Easements are
usually deemed good enough for
school redms-and- hard, stiff back

accommodation for the s'young idea" "
Easements are sepulchres, in which

to expoct children, buried in the
gloom of half submerged room,
to sing with spirit and enjoyment.
| When a school has other of the
needful adiuncts we have named,
let it be careful to select a singing
