Elsewhere will be found an interest,"
lug letter from the editor, who is now
on Centennial excursion trip. 1t will
be seen that he takes strong ground
against teaching the so called accom-
plishments French, German, music,
drawing, etc., in the public schools.
We believe that the state, for it's own
protection, should give every child in
it a good education in the common
branches of knowledge that are neces-
sary in every day life, but beyond this
it should not 60. Many of those who
are educated in the accomplishments
are of less value to the state than if
they were not so educated, thus MAX
ing it an Improbable investment for
the state to expend money in teaching
the same. In fact, the most ignorant
man who labors on our public works is
of more value than some of them.

WORT4INGTON AND SIOUX FALLS
RAILROAD.

RAILROAD.
Tho first regular train over this rail.
road commenced running on Monday
last, Oct. I'd, under the charge of that
popular conductor Peter Becker. The

leave Worthington at $50 a. M, and
arrive at Luverne at 9 a. M; returning
leave Luverne at 4 p. M, and arrive at
Worthington at $50 p. m.
The opening of this route to travel
necessitates some changes in stage and
postal arrangements. The Worthing.
ton and Sioux Falls stage line has been
discontinued between here and Eu-
verne, but will make regular trips be.
tween Luverne and Sioux Falls, under
charge of J. c. Goodnow. It will leave
the Falls in the morning, arrive at Lu.
verne in time for dinner, and return

cuts, and otherwise preparing for ;
Minnesota winter.
The distance from here to Luvern'
is 81 miles, and the fare is $1.70, which

THE CONCERT

The concert on Tuesday evening last,
under the auspices of Mrs. Ogle's Bible
Class of the NJ. E. Sunday School, was
well attended. The performance was
fair one for amateurs. The opening
"Glee" was excellent, as also were two
Rotations by Miss Cady. Either our
self or the singers did not get ut the
"true inwardness' of the song entitled
'sBlow the Horn for Supper, Kate" A
call to 'supper" is one of the most JOY
full sounds a tired, hungry laborer can
hear. and should be rendered in a joy-
onr, lively manner, and not as though
it would cause pain or sorrow.
There were two songs, however, that
were decidedly inappropriate to he pro-
duced in church, or under the au-
spices of Bible class. Anything that
conveys even the impression that it is
not dangerous, disreputable thing to
go into bad company or to 60 to dance
houses, or that it is jolly to get drunk
even if one does get headache in con-
sequence, and that no disgrace is at
tached, but rather is lightly laughed ut,
should he rigidly excluded from an en-
tertainment gotten up by Sunday
School. One occurrence of this kind
has an influence for evil on the rising
generation that will take many temper
ance lectures to counterfeit.

It seems that Miller, of the Worth
ington ADVANCE, is hunted on the
streets like a beast of prey. We can
think of but four reasons for it just
now: Either he is so homely they want
to get him out Of the way, so handsome
that the boys are all jealous, so rich
that they are after his wealth., or be-
cause he publishes a paper his enemies
dislike. The first two difficulties can
be overcome by his getting married,
the third by starting a daily, and the
fourth by keeping on and paying no at
tention to the revilers.- Falls

evening next at O'Clock. Two Direc-
tors are to be chosen in the place Of I.
n. Safer and Prof. Humiston. AS this
is the first school election since the
passage of the law allowing women to
vote on snch occasions, We presume
they will be out in force. While we
have no particular cause of complaint
against the Directors whose terms ex-
sire, still we should like to see one or
more ladies on the School Board.
And will the ladies of the State at
large allows us to give few words of
information and advice as to the cleo.
tive franchise. Do not Offer to vote if
you know you are unqualified, as that
is criminal offense. If your right to
vote is challenged by anybody, do not
get frightened, nor think that the nat
ural gallantry Of the men ought to
protect you from challenge, but prove
that you possess the necessary legal
qualification of voter if you can. If
you see any one about to vote that, in
your opinion, has no right to do so,
challenge such one and put him or
her to the proof. 1t is also a criminal
offense to cast more than one ballot at
time. 1--WE have known even ladies
to cast more ballots than they were en-
titled to on occasions when they were
allowed to vote.) Go to the polls feel
ing that you have duties to perform,
and not 60 there for the purpose of
having good social time. If you are
actuated by the former motive, the ad.
mission of woman to the elective fran
chise will result in good; if by the
latter it will result in evil. Go to the
polls determined to he sensible and not
sentimental, as it tends to bring ridi-
cule upon the whole business to do the
way they did in Minneapolis, i. e., dec.
crate the ballot box with flowers. Re.
member that school meetings are not
Good Templar Lodges.
And now for a little advice to the
men. Treat the ladies as courteously
as you ought to treat men. If a lady
offers to vote who you believe is not
qualified, do not let feeling of gallan.
try prevent you from challenging her.
There are other things we might
mention, but they can be learned by
actual experience at the polls. Every
citizen of the United States who shall
have resided in the United States one
year, this State four months and school
district 10 days next preceding the
election, is a legal voter.

COMMON SENSE AND THE CENTENNI-
AL-HOW AND WHEN TO 60.
The weather having grown cool,
those who dislike leaving their homes
whilst the thermometer ranges $50 in

for the Centennial. The Fort Wayne
and Pennsylvania Railroad, having an
ticipated this, have all of their mag
nificent new cars and rolling stock In
the most complete and perfect order,
so that Centennial visitors may not
want for anything to add to their con-
venience and comfort. It must be re-
membered that tickets via Washington

sons to visit the Nations Capital, view
the lefty of magnificent distances, y

lite, of the Capitol, War, Treasury,
Post and Patent Office Departments,
the Presidential Mansion, and all the
public institutions of Washington.
Then Baltimore, Philadelphia and the
Centennial, and New York-each in
succession visited, and ride continu-
ously over the Great Fort Wayne and
Pennsylvania Railway lines-an adj
vantage which no other road on this
continent can offer. The Fort Wayne
and Pennsylvania Rrilway have neatly
printed guides in book form, contain
ing over fifty pages. They are beauti-
fully illustrated, and a great conven-
fence to the tourist and traveller in
selecting the points of interest on the
entire line of the road. They also con-
tain a map of the Centennial Grounds
