Why! Why NOt9

When was boy, like other boys,
had to learn to cut wood, shear sheep, hoe
corn, ETC., ETC., and can now remember
that did most of my learning with old
tools. If any shears are weak or have
the lock-jaw, the boy always has them.
OF course he always rides "bear-backed.'
He always mows with the rusty scythe
and takes up the "down-row" in corn husk.

fares in like manner at school, Why2 ]
see many children in the schools who have
neither slate nor pencil, Oh; its no use 20

there are SO many things-little things
that cost but little money and yet are SO
invaluable to these boys and girls. Why
not get these much needed supplies2

nature is worse than to be illiterate. A
lack of honesty, integrity and conscience
BUSINESS is lack of all that makes man
valuable. ''The child is the father of the
man" and if we produce honest, beneyc-
lent, conscientious, truthful boys and
girls we need have no fear for the in
fuence Of their manhood or womanhood.
Parents too often are neglectful in this
respect when their own power is all that
restrains, but more frequently they Sc
riouly object to the teachers Interference
in the morality of their children. Teach
ers are said to "be biased and sectarians,"
because OF an attempt to enforce what
polite and enlightened society dictates as
good breeding, and yet their duty is just
as important and impelling as before.
Nothing should make them swerve from
accomplishing this guarded portion of
their work, for only in this respect is their
influence to last to the end of time.
Physical culture, mental culture, soul
culture-all must be within the teacher
province and he must accept his duty as
inevitable and imperative. S.

PROF. G. B. JAcK.-The Abba Dis
trict school year just closed has been q
pleasant one to the teachers and a profit
able one to the pupils generally. During
the year there was no Earring or strife be-
tween the teachers Of the different de-
partments, but all worked harmoniously
for common object, the best interest of
the pupils under their charge. The sue
cess of school is, of course, largely de-
pendent upon the efficiency of the Super
intendent, and Abba was fortunate in
having at the head of the schools man
SO eminently fitted for the position as
Prof. @. B. Jack, who in the discharge of
the arduous duties of the position came
up to the highest expectations of the
School Board and patrons of the school,
The fidelity and assiduity with which he
Iabored is to be all the more commended
in consideration of the fact that he never
expects to teach school again and was not
working for reputation. --Albia Union.
We are glad indeed of Mr.. Jacks sue
cess, but regret to learn that the law will
take away such teaching talent from US.
1t is mistake to lose him from the
schools of Iowa.

OATMEAL-In Great Britain children
of all ranks are raised on oatmeal diet
alone, because it causes them to grow
strong and beautiful and no better food
can be found for them. 1t is also quite
as desirable for the student as for the
laborer, and for the delicate lady and her
Woodworking sister; indeed all classes
would be greatly benefited by its use, and
dyspepsia, with all its manifold annoyan-
ces, can be kept at distance. Oatmeal
is more substantial food, it is said, than
veal, pork or lamb, giving as much Oh.
more mental vigor, while its great adesid-
eratum consists in ones not becoming
weary of it, for it is as welcome for break
fast or tea as is wheat or graham bread.
1t can be eaten with syrup and butter as
can be hasty pudding, OF with cream and
sugar Ike rice. It is especially good for
y)uDg mothers, upon whose nervous forces
toe great a demand has been made, and
they lose the equilibrium of the system
and become depressed and dispirited.
Oatmeal requires to be cooked slowly,
and the water should be boiling bet when
&c is stirring in.

Register.

Hayes is represented as saying that he
believes Louisiana viii go Republican
next fall. If the Republicans dare go
to the polls, and can succeed in getting
their ballots counted, there is no doubt
of that; but supposing the State does go
Republican, would not the White League
set up another bogus government, and
would not that necessitate the appointing
of another commission to go down to
New Orleans to buy off or scare the real
legislature, and pat the bull-dozers again

Republicans to gain anything by casting

TRAGEDY.

ARKANSAS furnishes this strange
tragedy Emberry Cannon and his
two sons went on spree in Rock
well, Ark and made so much trou-
BILE that Sheriff Starks decided TO ar
rest them. The drunkards resisted
and were savagely whipping the
Sheriff, when he shot and killed one
of the sons. This happened three
years ago. Cannon declared that he
would retaliate for the death of his
his son, and he offered several des>
peradoes the job, at good pay, of
killing Starks. These efforts to
hire murderer were heard of by
Starks, and he advertised his farm
for sale, intending to move to safer
part of the country. Last Septem>
Der George w. Garner, fugutive
from Texas, but a stranger in Rock
well, called on Starks and proposed
to buy the farm. He asked to be
shown the premises. Mrs. Starks
noticed that Garner carried arevolv-
or, and she warned her husband not
to accompany him. Her fear was
we'll grounded. Garner was under
engagement to assassinate Starks,
and Cannon had agreed to pay
1928 for the deed. Starks was
found dead. with several bullet holes
in his head. Garner and Cannon
we're both convicted of murder, a
few weeks ago. On the day before
the one appointed for the execution,
Garner and his wife, who had been
admitted to his cell, we're discovered
dead. The woman had gone in with
her mouth full of morphine, with
which they had poisoned themselves.
Thus over 4, 1000 persons, who gath
cred to see the execution, were dis
appointed.

RACE PREJUDICE.

RACE PREJUDICE does not exist
alone in the South, and is not wholly
confined to damn the Niger Jo-
seph Seligman, wealthy New York
banker, a few days since applied for
rooms for himself and family at the
Grand Union Hotel, Saratoga, but
was refused owing to the fact that he
is Jew. The management inform>
I'd him that his exclusion was in con-
sequence ofan order from headquart-
ers that all Jews should be refused
entertainment at the hotel. This ho,
tel is a part Of the estate Of the late
A. 7. Stewart, of New York, and is
under control Of Judge Hilton, who
is the person that issued the order.
Judge Hilton has mistaken and in
suited the Christian sentiment Of this
country, and rendered himself as
contemplate as he is no doubt shall

HOW DRIED FRUITS SHOULD BIZ
PUT UP FOR MARKET.

The Southern States send forward
some of the best fruit we have, and
in Virginia, North Carolina, Tennes
see and Georgia the curing of the
same has become quite an industry
and source of profit. Dealers gen
orally throughout the country will
enhance the value of all fruit, and
serve their own interest greatly, by
observing the following hints in ref
erence to the curing and packing of
the same: Care should be taken that
all tares are correctly marked, and
tho fruit to run uniform throughout
each and every package ship none
that is not well dried /; pack in new
or very clean second hand bags or
barrels do not put more than the
one kind in the same package, there
by securing for your shipments a
reputation which will generally in
sure quick sales at full market prices;
mark or brand the kind and quality,
together Win Wight and .tare, dis
tincsIy !; send invoice descriptive 81
weights, etc. also failrOad receipts
or bills of lading, with every ship,
ment.
All dried fruits sell principally by
color, which should be bright /; and
to obtain the same in apples and
peaches, they should be prepared for
drying before fully ripe. Sliced APP
pies if not bright, do not pay for the
trouble of slicing, and the finest qual>
tiles should be packed in new bar>
rels top and bottom lined with paper.
Bright quartered apples, we'll cored,
uniform in cut, are always moro or
less in fair demand, and more attcn-
ton should be given to them. Peel
ed peaches should be sliced or cut
in eighths, and invariably of a bright
color. Dark qualities rule low, and
are slow of sale. Unpeeled peaches
should be cut in halves or quarters.
The largest peaches should be selects
ed for halves, size being consider
alton in them, while the smaller fruit
is fully desirable to be cut for quar-
tiers, They should be kept entirely
separate, as when mixed they will
not generally sell at over the price
of quarters.

FOREIGN NEWS.


TIE Russians have crossed the
Danube. The crossing was made
from Ibrail on bridge, constructed
by Russian engineers, over seven
hundred yards long.
THE Turks have withdrawn from
Matchin, and did not oppose the
Russian crossing, and they have es
tablished themselves on the neither
side Of the river.
SULEIMAN Pasha is making slow
advances against the Montenegrins.
The lighting is very sapguinary, and
every inch is contested with blood.
THE passage Of the Danube by the
Russians was success, after an OBJ
stinate resistance by the Bashi Bo
zonks. The fight lasted from day
break until noon, when the Turks
abandoned Matchin, which was oc-
cupied by the Russians.
IT begins to look as if the Spanish
cause in Cuba 10 about played out,
at last. The Spanish Government
has wasted 10, of money and thous-
ands Of recruits and literally accom-
plished nothing towards subjectiDg
the Cubans. They are a. last be-
ginning to talk Of concessions, which
is only the unerring sign of weak /
ness. The patriots turn away to all
such proposals, and are seeming so
confiden. that their delivcrance is
near, as to be even now entertaining
the question Of annexation to the
United States.

A HORRIBLE accident occurred at
a rolling mill in Indianapolis Friday
which resulted in the fatal injury of
John Hill, a puddler. The unfor-
tunatc mans right foot caught 10 the
aperture in the rolls through which
the hot iron is thrust, and the sides
closed in on the member, dragging
the leg through and crushing the
bone clear up TO the hip. The iron
in which the limb was imprisoned
was almost red hot, and as il was at
least ten minutes before the poor
fellow could be released, the flesh on
the bone was entirely roasted. The
poor victim died that afternoon.

NOT A NEGATIVE cHARAcTEn

NOT A NEGATIVE CHARACTER.
HAYES last Presidential NANTES
to is as follows "No officer should
be required or permitted to take
part in the management of political
organizations, caucusses, conven-
tions or election campaigns. Their
right to vote and to express their
views on public questions either
orally or through the press 10 not
denied, provided il does not inter.
fere with the discharge of their offic-
ial duties. No assessment for polit.
ical purposes on officers or subordi-
mates should be allowed. This rule
is applicable to every department of
the civil service. II should be un-
derstood by every officer Of the gem
eral government that he is expected
to conform his conduct to its require
ments."
1t looks as if Hayes intends to do
the fair thing, and that he really
means civil service reform. SO long
as he makes himself the President
of the whole people, and lot the par
tizan of mere party, he should be
sustained.
