from Chicago via the C. B, 4. Q. R. R., via Quincy
to st. Joseph, Atchlnson and Kansas City without
change, making direct connectionsat at these points
with all trains for the West and South, should

THE OSNABURGH SCHOOL CASE.

Mr. EDIToR-We are sorry to be under the
necessity of again botheIing you with few lines
on the trouble growing out of our school cleo,
tion that chose John Kaler over Esor. shenple n
De Director by vote of "a to 81.
notice in your last week issue Mr.. Wsck an.
peared with statement similar to what was in
the Repository of the week before As the wsnton
assault OF Mr.. Wack on Mr.. Kaler is in court and
VIII pass through legal investigation, I shall saw
litte more than refer to the account given in the
DEMOCRAT two or three weeks ago. Mr.. Wack is
usuallv good citizen but in this case he has for.
gothimselfand violated the law, and for this he
Is Sarraigned. Nj. Kaler, when assalted, was in
the discharge of his duty urged to it by our citi
zenS generally, The manure pile of Mr.. Wack
was on the school premises and was nuisance
hence the general demand,
AS to our scht ol accommodations in osnaburpb
they are ample for all demands and there is no
need OF all this trouble and fuss John Kaler
Is Director and should be honored as such. If he
transcends his duty there is legal way of pro-
ceedlng better than taking clubs or even brush to
an old one-legged man. A CrT,2rv

DECORATION DAY,-Tuesday was generally OBJ.
served throughout the country as decoration day,
and the impressive ceremony of decking the
graves of dead soldiers with the first fresh flowers
offspring was universally engaged in. In Canton
the business houses or all the important ones at
least were closed during the afternoon. At four
o'clock the procession formed and moved from
the square, led by the G, A. Band playing an ap
propriate dirge The band was followed by ex.
soldiers, each OF whom carried an evergreen
wreath. After them came decorating committees,
and children and others with flowers. The pro-
ceSSion was quite long, and proceeded at once to
the west cemetery, where appropriate services
were held and the grave of every soldier buried
there was decked with flowers and evergreen.
Special committees proceeded to other places of
burial and decorated the graves of whatever sol
diers were inferred there. The day was pleasant,
and the ceremony passed off in the usual impress
sive manner.

Walton, of Marlboro, in this county, small
irregular piece of black and white marble three
inche'long and well and plainly representing an

curiosity in its way and was found while digging
a well half a mile west of Marlboro on Adm
shrVers place, twelve feet below the surface
some four years ago. 1t may be sent to the Smith

in the Ohio collection and will probably be at
