The actual distance from Sioux
City to Milwaukee by way of Shell
don and the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul railroad is SOC miles which
by the way of the Illinois Central
via Freeport it is 514 miles from
Sioux City to Milwaukee. Counting
by distance there is a difference of 8
miles in favor of the Sheldon route,
but counting by time the Central has
the advantage. BY the Sheldon
route one leaves Sioux City at 10 10
p. m. and reaches Milwaukee the
second morning at 3 goa. M. Time
through % hours and 10 minutes,
with a delay at Sheldon in the mid
die of the night from II :53 to 2 Is,
reaching Milwaukee as before stated
at the unreasonable hour of 3 20.
By the central route passengers leave
Sioux City at 2 Is p. M. and reach
Milwaukee at 6 20 p. m. the second
day. Time through % hours and
5 minutes, or 1 hour and 5 minutes
in favor of the Illinois Central route,
which makes it practically the short
line from this city to Milwaukee.
Another point in favor of the Central
route is that it reaches Freeport at
the seasonable hour of 8 IA a. M,
and the Western Union leaves there
for the north at 1 10 p. M, which is
much %pleasanter than changing in
the middle of the night. So remem-
Der that you save and travel more
pleasantly in making the trip from
Sioux City to Milwaukee by taking
the reliable Illinois Central.

SECOND DAY.
April 18th,

Opening exercises consisted of Read
ing of the Scripture, song and roll
call. On numbering those that had
come in since the beginning of the
session it was found that seventy
three were in attendance. Among
the new arrivals were I. S. Dickson
Supt. of Yankton county, and Prof.
Culver and Mr.. Haws of Vermillion.
Reading lesson came first on the
programme and embraced simply a
few words but many ideas on the
proper sounds of letters &c.
Gen. Beadle next gave a lesson in
the rudiments of Arithmetic which
was listened to with interest. His
plan was to simplify processes, and
thereby teach scholars more in less
time than formerly.
Recess.
Spelling was now considered by
Prof. Salisbury who dwelt upon its
importance at some length and the
advantage the written exercises in
spelling have over the old oral way.

of the teacher. End, by constant
criticisms ofmistakes. 3rd, by teach
ing it in the reading and spelling
books. 4th, by language lessons.

made the lesson interesting and ben
eficial to all.

diagram, a most excellent method
of teaching beginners in the subject
Of geography. The subject of school

The Virginians are talking over
their whisky bell-punch again, but
are not even yet ready to give final
report. Enough is known, however,
to show that the bell-punch system
has brought the State revenue Of
R472,834, ii, or sllO,76l, 70 more than
was derived from the old system of a
license tax. The State Treasurer is
strongly impressed with its efficiency,
but thinks it has not had fair trial.
Indeed, It is darkly limited that there
was gross dereliction on the part Of
the last legislature in failing to pro
vide for the enforcement of the regis
ter tax.

communication between the divers
and the men on the dredges. Charles
W. Raymond, one of the engineers of
the department, began some expert
ments with the telephone recently,
and his work has led to the adoption
of submarine telephones by the de
partment Edison's duplex telephone
is used. A battery, connected with
one instrument, is placed on the
dredge, and insulated wires run to a
second telephone in the helmet of the
diver. This is so arranged that the
diver can apply either his mouth or
his ear to the speaking cups by turn
ing his head. Thus he can converse
with case while at work on the bottom
of the river. This application of the
telephone, it is thought, will not only
extend the use of the instrument, but
will prove most important aid to sub
marine diving.

The Cincinnati Sun is surprised
that the reigning administration has
not " vindicated little grief over Mr..
Mackey's death, for it adds: 1t is
much indebted to him. He it was
who stood in the breach in the Penn
sylvsnia caucus of the Cincinnati con-
vention, when the Blaine strength was
about to pull Don Cameron over, and
he it was, by the grace of the two
Chambers, who held the Republican
Presidential ticket up by its tail in the
State of Florida. 1t is singular what
havoc death and ingratitudo have Of
late made among the feudal barons Of
the Republican party. There are
many weak points left in their border
if the Democrats are wise enough to
see them"

rHx co1xAeE OF silver.

The annual report Of DR.. Linder-
man, the director Of the mint, states
that the production Of precious metals
during the fiscal year ending June Both
was: of gold, s47,226,1O7, and of sill
yer, $46,726,3l4 The quantity con
sumed in arts and manufactures he
estimates at $2,5OO,OOO gold, and So
100000 silver During the fiscal year
the official reports of exports and i'm
ports show that A,132,66O more gold
came into the country than went out
Of it, while the exports OF silver ex-
ceeded the imports by $8,044,276. On
these data and others, DR.. Lindorman
estimates the stock Of precious metals
in the county July lst, as $244, 1853,
800 gold, and $SS,O9O,557 silver, and
believes that the increase of stock
from July lst to October 1st was $26,-
100000, Upon this basis, the amount
Of silver in the country December Isl
was about slO6,OOO,OOO. The con-
sumption during FIVE months, at DR.
Linderman's ratio, was about 81 $50,
600 and the amount outstanding in the
form of fractional currency about
$39,OOO,00O On November lst, the
treasury held about s26,OOO,OOO OF
silver coin aud bullion. Deducting
these items, there would remain about
A0,OOO,OO0 of silver not held by the
treasury, and not in the form of frac-
tional coin now in circulation.

Congressional.

WASHINGTON, January IL The
Potter committee to-day considered
the question whether the affidavit of
d. Martin, former deputy sergeant
alarms of the committee, confessing
that he had swore falsely before the
committee, and casting imputations
upon Representative Stenger, in that
connection, should be placed upon
record or the afiant be placed
upon the stand. Mr.. Mcmahon
favored the latter course. Messrs.
Reed, Cox (Ohio), and Hiscock, ad-
vocated placing the affidavit on record.
Mr.. Stenger said that it was natural
that anybody accused of crime should
desire to be confronted with the ac-
cuser, and therefore, if the so-callcd
affidavit was admitted to record he
could ask that certain papers in his
possession, showing under what cir
cumstances the affidavit was procured,
ETC., should also be recorded.
After some further debate the res
olution offered by Mr. Blackburn was
adopted by party vote-Democrats
6, Republicans 3-that the chairman
return to the counsel the Secretary
Sherman affidavit, and further inform
Sherman that H. Martin will be ex-
amined as to the matters embraced in
the affidavit, should Mr.. Sherman or
any other member Of the committee
so desire it.

The Man Who Booted Dickens

Washington Post.
Old Major Throckmorton, keeper of
the Gait House, in Louisville, is dead.
He was a good old man, and Ken
lucky to the bone. When Dickens
came to his house, in 1916, the major
gracefully and Hospitality addressed
him thus while the assembled crowd
looked on and listened with admira-
ton akin to enthusiasm: Mr. Dick
ems, we are glad to welcome you. We
know you and admire you, and will
reckon it az a privilege to be allowed
to extend to you the hospitalities of
the metropolis of Kentucky. Asyour
especial host, beg that you will COM
mand me for any service in my power
to render" Mr.. Dickens received
this with a frigid stare. When |
need you, landlord, he said, pointing
the door, ." will ring The next
moment the distinguished author was
half way out of the window, the ma
jor's boots under his coat-tail, and
numerous Kentuckians holding the
majors coat-tail, for the major viewed
insults from a strictly Kentucky point
Of view, and the only mention of this
incident in the " American Notes is
chat Dickens saw a pig roofing in the
streets Of Louisville, which proves
that great novelists arc moro careful
about their fiction than their facts.
