The bridge over White Rock creek,
on the Rockwell road, built from the
funds donated by the citizens for the
improvement of the county roads, is
finished. The span, which is sixty
feet In length, Is substantial structure
and will prove of great benefit to those
who come to the city by that road DUR
ing the heavy rains. The force was
moved up to Duck creek, on the same
road, where another bridge, fifty feet
In length, will be erected. The timber
used in these bridges consists OF black
cypress and yellow heart pine. The
work Is under the atle supervision Of
Captain Johnson, late city engineer.

In Mondays issue OF the Sherman
Register, Sheriff Everheart answers
the accusations OF Tom Gerren, ex-
deputy sheriff of Denton county, which
were published In last weeks Denton
Monitor. Sheriff Everheart In his re-
ply says: "The matter Is, therefore,
narrowed down to u question OF verac-
ity between Gerren and myself and l
hand you herewith the sworn tests
mony OF four witnesses to the facts i
have charged. There are other Wit.
nesses whose testimony would be
equally az strong, but they are not ac'
cesslble to me at this time, and whose
statements will be forthcoming II
further testimony IL needed" M. Nj.
Ozement, sheriff of Cook county, testi-
fled that Sheriff Everheart knew that
Bass and party were at San Antonio
before he had met Gerren, who claims
that he gave him the information, and
that Everheart had papers for their
arrest, which Gerren says he did not
have. A. l.. Parrot, sergeant of Cap
tain Halls rangers, under oath stated
that Gerren, while on the San Antonio
trip, offered to loan Sheriff Ever heart
twelve hundred dollars, and that Sher-
i'll Eagan, of Denton county, had stated
to him that at the time Of his leav-
ing for San Antonio that he had
only three hundred dollars which he
had given him to defray his expenses.
Walter Johnson, deputy United
States marshal, stated under oath that
Gerren had stated to him, that he had
given Everhart away at San Antonio,
and had done 80 because he saw that
he was about to beat him out of the re-
ward. He said that he himself was
a friend of Sam Bass, he had slept with
him for two years and would not give
him away. He says that Gerren show
ed to him roll Of large bills, and that
from the manner of his conversation
he inferred that Bass had given 1t to
him for his friendship.
James E. Lucy, of Halls command,
being sworn, said that T. Il. Gerren
stated to him at Denton, that Ever
heart and Pinkerton's man had tried
to beat him out of his portion of the
reward offered for Bass d Co., and said
they had been "given away" for that
also stated he had slept with sam Bass
too long to give him to justice for any
five hundred dollars, and Everheart
night keep his warrants for Bass, and
he would keep Bass.
Sheriff Everheart concludes his artl.
Gle In the Register, by alledging that
Gerren was undoubtedly in sympathy
with Bass, and that he was aiding him
in escaping from the clutches of the
| law.

In SwiAton' S Elementary Geography

the pupils to read. There is no obiec-

sections for reading are often the best

she reads some interesting sketch from

Do not hesitate to omit the last
three pages of miscellaneous examples

is the first time the class has reached

THE object of grammar is to secure
correct expression of thought We
want grammar to help us to make sem
fences and not tear them to pieces;
to aid us in expressing our own
thoughts, not simply to aid us in de-
termining the thoughts of others.
Practical grammar does not necessari-
ly include a knowledge of the technical
names given by grammarians to the
various part of speech, though names
are sometimes convenient for refer
ence.-Old T'e.rt Book.
WHEN we find mental strength with
moral goodness combined, surrounded
by cheap books and other means of inn
provement, assuming to conduct
school, and failing for want of knowl-
edge, we are lead to exclaim, how
strange that such brains should seek
no culture. He who will not accept
of proffered opportunities, and who is
unwilling to exert himself to lay hold
of accessible means of Improvement
in these respects, or in any way omits
the necessary exertion for acquire
ments sufficient to answer the wants,
cannot with the best of propriety ask
for place or preferment in the school
room, is certainly not entitled to pat
ronage if unqualified, and the portals
of the teachers profession should be
securely closed against him.-E.r.

ONE of the most important measures
that has engaged the attention of the
State Legislature for the past two
winters will again come up this win
ter and we hope to see it disposed of
in manner that will be beneficial to
the public. We refer to what is known
as the textbook question, the propo-
sition involved being one to cheaper
the cost to the public of school books.
There can be no doubt of the existence
in the past of rates on this class of
books that have paid an enormous profit
to the publishers and great degree of
this burden has rested upon those lily
able to bear it. A law was passed last
winter creating Board of Textbook
Commissioners, the duties assigned
said Board being thorough investi-
CATION of this subject and all questions
bearing upon the same, with instruc-
tions to report by bill or otherwise to
the forthcoming session of the Legis-
lature, the result of its labors. This
Commission is constituted of compe-
tent men and we feel assured that their
work will prove of advantage to our
Lawmakers for 1879, and ultimately to
the general public. The Legislature
i'll dealing with this question, however, !.
should carefully guard itself against
any tendency to create what may in
time become another extortionate mo-
nopoly to succeed the one which it
seeks to break.

A RACINE newspaper correspondent
gives currency to rumor that Roscoe
Conkling has already begun to 'set EN-
up for the Presidential nomination in
1880, assuming that some of the rural
newspaper puffs of the great New York
Senator were not written at the thome
Office In our opinion the course
hereafter pursued by MIR. Conkling
towards the administration will have
much to do with his chances for a
nomination by the Republican National
Convention. Whatever may be the
shortcomings of President Hayes in
the opinion of ConEling, the masses of
the Republican party are in sympathy
with Hayes and will not sustain Conk-
ling's ambition to succeed him in the
White House if he persists in his fight
against the President.

The Hudson True Republican takes
exceptions to certain portions of an
article which appeared in this paper
on the status of the legal tender silver
dollar. Statements therein made were
upon the authority of an ably conduct
ed and conservative exchange in which
we have much confidence, without any
application by us of the rule of proper
ton, but the position assumed by us
on the principle involved will be sus-
tanned by the most rigid application of
the rule suggested, which fact our
Hudson contemporary admits when it
says that the market price of the trade
dollar of 400 grains is 98I cents and
that the lawful money silver dollar of
41219 grains is daily sold for 90 rs
cents. Ignoring that classic style of
editorial writing which the editors of
the True Republican will doubtless Oh
serve we used the expression ''intrin-
sic value" in the general acceptance of
that term and as commonly used by
speakers and writer's of the present
day.

The Hudson True Republican ex-
presses the opinion that a pound of
gold or silver has less of intrinsic value
than pound of iron. yet we have no
doubt that the editors of that paper
would stir around and pick up few
pounds of old iron if they could ex-
change it for gold, receiving pound
for pound, and feel very much graft
fed at an opportunity to ''swop'' in
that way.

INDICATIONS point to a comparatively
short session of the Wisconsin Legis-
lature for 1879. 1t is thought that the
Senatorial contest will not. take up
very much time and a majority of the
members will doubtless feel inclined
to let the new Revised Statutes have a
fair trial before any extended efforts
to amend them. The Legislature will
meet one week from next Wednesday,
January 8th. d. NJ. Kelly, of Green
Bay, will probably be chosen Speaker
of the Assembly, in which case W. E..
Carter, of Platteville, will doubtless be
placed at the head of the Judiciary
Committee, position which he is
abundantly qualified to fill.

MEMBERS of the Legislature should
investigate very carefully all chronic or
other claims presented to the Legisla-
ture for adjustment before voting up
on them, and then if they find about
them the least faint of jobbery they
will be safe in promptly sitting down
upon them, because the payment of
most legitimate claims against the
State is provided for by general laws
through the Secretary of State as Aud
itor er-o6fcio. The repeated hauls of
Calkins and others from the State
treasury on old printing claims and
the persistent demands OF Morgan L..
Martin for money alleged to be due
him on account of the Fox and Wis
eonsin River Improvement are begin
ming to attract the attention of the
people who rightfully insist that all
unjust claims shall be ignored.

FoR the first time since the suspen-
sion of specie payment in 1862, gold
was exchanged for greenbacks at par
in New York City on Thursday last.
The disappearance of the premium on
gold two weeks before the time fixed
for specie resumption, is favorable
circumstance and cannot fail to
strengthen confidence in the ability of
Secretary Sherman to maintain it.

HUNDREDS of thousands of dollars are
annually paid municipalities and the
United States Government for liquor
and tobacco licenses and on account of
the revenue tax imposed upon these
articles, the greater portion of which
is paid from moneys voluntarily pass
ed over the counters of liquor and to-
bacco vendors by those who are least
able to bear the immense burden
which the needless taste for liquor
and tobacco imposes. Thousands upon
thousands of those who complain of
hard times themselves create the oc-
casion for complaint by the IMPROVE
dent rules which govern their conduct
in life by squandering for liquor and
tobacco in one form or another an
amount which if properly expended
would supply themselves and their
families with all of the necessaries
and many of the luxuries of life. Do
those who can hardly provide the nee
essaries of life for their families while
they manage to crafty their own tastes
for whiskey and tobacco, ever stop to
think of these things.

ADvIcEs from Europe indicate great
depression in the financial, commercial
and social circles of the Old World.
Business failures are constantly oc-

large numbers of needy working men
out of employment, while bank sus-
pensions have sadly demoralized finan-
cial centers; and they get up bank fail
ures over there the magnitude of
which eclipses anything of the kind
ever attempted in this country; Italy is
