~ Authors, (now Mrs. L. b. Kellogg
room, who had charge of the class at the
time, and 1T was her pupils that bought
the Independent 9th reader at the low
price OF 60 cents, not 65, cents as stated
IN our last article. Mrs. KELLOGG still
lives in the city and cannot have forgot
ten the circumstance. We have positive
proof on this point We hold the orig
lnal adoption contract, signed bv the
president of the board and ]. G. Scott
agent of A S. Barnes s. Co, and can
give exact dates of the adoption of each
reader if necessary. am reliably inform
ed that last year amajority of the teachers
were nearly tcild, to use the expression of
my informant, over the gldri5aq merits of
Monroe's readers, and strongly desired
their adoption, but even their merits
paled into dim nothingness when the ss-
pertor merits of Appleton's readers were
pointed out. The writer did all in his pow
er to help make the present five-vear law
which is now going into effect, writing
letters and making personal solicitation
10 his Legislative acquaintance to the
end that this ceasless, never-eniing CON
tinual whirl Of changes might be stop
ped. Mr.. Davis states: I am directly
interested in the sale of Barnes & Co.'S
publications and am opposed to the
change, as l ave thousands at stake.
There are about 700 pupils in this city.
A full set of five readers costs S256 an
average of 81 1-5c. for each reader. A
new book Will last a student one to two
years. One reader each for 700 students
will cost $35S.40. We would like con-
tract to furnish all the Emporia pupils
with readers, commencing with what they
have now on hand, for $500 year. AS
a matter of fact, not a district in LYON
county has adopted App leton's readers.
Scarcely half dozen towns use them in
the state, and our trade does not rea. h to
these places hope Mr.. DaYis will take
off thousand or two from that estimate.
Mr.. Davis is mistaken in saying told
him that "if any teacher used his influ-
ence to make change of text books in
this town it would cost that teacher his
head" never made any such state
ment to him, or anything that could be
construed into such remark did say
to our county superintendent some weeks
ago, in private conversation, in talking
of the effect of the new law on the text
book question generally, that believed
the feeling Of the people here was such
that If teacher should head a general
change and work for it, it would cost
that teacher his head, which is very
different construction from what he plac-
es on the remark. With this we close
for the present. Yours, &c,

THE EXPORT CATTLE TRADE

The official report of the British privy
council of the live cattle trade from be-
yOnd sea during the year 1873 has been
issued, and presents some significant
facts. 1t shows that during the past
year Canada sent to the four British
ports of Liverpool. London, Sunderland
and Glasgow one hundred and six car
goes of animals, consisting of 1889
cattle, 4O,132 sheep, 1, 614 swine, of which
551 cattle, 1900 sheep and 419 swine
were thrown overheard during the voy-
age; 43 cattle, 172 sheep and II swine
were landed dead, and "a cattle, 6S sheep
and 10 swine had to be slaughtered at
the place of landing owing to injuries re-
ceived in transit Also that in 1873 three
hundred and eighty-one cargoes of ami
mails were landed at nine British ports
from the United States. They comprised
6S, 450 cattle, 1870 sheep and 1891
swine; of which 2,034 cattle, 1926 sheep
and 2,399 swine were thrown overheard
on the voyage; 271 cattle, 313 sheep and
394 swine were landed dead; and 1872
cattle, 1872 sheep and 2S5 swine were so
much injured that it was necessary to
slaughter them at the place of landing.
In short, during the year 1O,667 animals
were thrown overheard, 1910 were land
ed dead, and 71S were so much injured
or exhausted that they had to be put out
of their misery on arrival.
The Baltimore Sun commenting on
these enormous losses, attributes them
to the selection of the wrong season fol
shipments. The proper time for the
transportation of live cattle is the sum
mer months, and winter for the carriage
of cut meats. Live cattle cannot stand
the inclemencies of a winter voyage, and
the magnitude of the trade makes the
losses enormous. In future the rule viii
be observed of exporting live stock dur
ing those months of the year in which
few storms occur. The profits of the live
cattle export trade cannot justify suct
losses as have occurred heretofore for the
causes noted

sas, which position he resigned about
five years ago. Since leaving the bench

PERSONAT


The work of Mrs. Ann Eliza Young
in exposing the crimes of Mormonism
in her lectures is well known to our
readers. Her eloquent appeals from the
platform and her book have done much
to awaken the conscience of the people
to the enormity of polygamy. There is
hardly city, town or village but that
has listened to her relation of the wrongs
of that system, and the people will be
glad to learn that she is to lecture here
Saturday evening next, at the NJ. T.
church
In personal appearance Mrs. Young is
represented by her photographs as a fine
looking woman, with marked intelli-
gence. She was born at the Norman
town of Nauvoo, Illinois, September 13,
1874. Her parents were of the Mormon
faith, and diligently trained her in the
tenents of their religion. When she was
four years of age the family removed to
Utah. At the age of eight she was bap-
tized according to the usages of the Nor
mon church. At sixteen she was bap-
tized again, preparatory to the rights of
the endowment house. In her ninteenth
year she was first married. The fruit of
this marriage was two boys. In her
twentyfourth year she was married TO
Brigham Young, as his nineteenth wife
After sustaining this relation for several
years she became more and more dissat-
isfied with MOrmonism and Brigham
Young, its head, and on July 18th, 1873,
fled from him, and took refuge at lead
ing GENTLE hotel in Salt Lake City, and
instituted legal proceedings against her
husband for divorce and alimony. Find
ing that the conflict between the Terri
torial and United States courts would de-
lay her suit indefinitely, she resolved to
take the platform as lecturer, and ac-
quaint the public, outside of Utah, with
the real character of the Prophet Brig
ham and some of the beauties of his po-
lygamous system. She has an abund-
ant store of information respecting which
she thought the public should be enlight-
ened; and she resolved to put this into
lectures and give it to the world. She
tells plain story, in good clear Eng
lish, and can interest and profit any au-
dience
Mrs. Young's personal worth and her
lecture are heartily endorsed by such
persons as John B. Cough, Mary A.
Livermore, Schuyler Colfax, and by the
pulpit and press wherever she has been,
and we trust she will have a full house
in Emporia.

tory on the legislature tn provide for a
system of free schools which must be
maintained for at least six months in
the year. The entire school fund is TO
be used exclusively for grammar schools.
The textbook question is taken out OF
the hands of the legislature and placed
under the control of the local authori-
ties. The appropriation of any public
money for the support of any sectarian
or UNCONVENTIONAL school, or for the sup
port of any school officers, is prohibited.
As to the Chinese, their presence is de
clared TO be dangerous, and the legisla-
ture is directed to discourage their i'm
migration by all the means within Its
power, to pass laws to prohibit their in.
PRODUCTION into the state, and to delegate
all necessary power to incorporate cities
and towns to remove them without their
limits. Their employment on public
works is prohibited, and all corporations
are forbidden to employ them.
This provision, pronounced ridiculous
| by many constitutional lawyers, and
| those in regard to taxation and corpora
tions, made the new constitution very
unpopular in many circles. But the op-
ponents were peculiarly situated While
the taxation and corporation articles
aroused hostility in the large cities OF
business centers, the article as to the
Chinese met with favor. The farming
districts, acting on the impulse of oppO-
sltlon to monopolies, were generally in
favor OF the new constitution.

THE SCHOOL BOOK QUESTION.
Another Illumination.


EDITORS NEWS Mr.. Davis says in
his article of May 9th, ''These are facts,
and we dare anybody to successfully con-
trovert them" He closes the same arti-
Gle with this: GAS a matter of fact there
have been no changes in text books in
the past two years, previous to the one
just made" The loose manner in which
he uses the English language is astonish-
ing, to use a mild expression. But to
facts and figures again: Mr.. D. does
not controvert one of my statements.
They were stubborn, hardy things, sup
ported by strong proof, and hard to get
over.
The following changes in text books
have taken place since Mr.. Davis took
charge of the schools: Guyot's Ele-
mentary, intermediate, and Mitchel's
New intermediate, Biographies were in
use. The first and last named were
thrown out, and Guyot's introductiOn and
grammar school, or physical, put in their
place. September 25th, 1877, complaints
were made to me of the Independent LIST
reader, and to satisfy this, we gave free

book just out at that time, taking up the
old objectionable readers. This is an ad-
ditional gift from our house not melton
ed in my article of the 18th instant.
Nearly year ago the Boston Monthly
reader, small monthly publication, was
introduced into the schools. Since Janu-
airy 1st 1879, "The nursery" monthly
magazine, has been introduced as a read
er in the city schools, both of which
temporarily at least took the place of read
ers. Ask your children if this statement
isnot correct Lee s. Hadley's grammars,
and Reed & Kellogg's graded lessons
were used. The latter was thrown out,
and we had no end of trouble in taking
back the new books sold only q day or two
before the change Also the Independ-
ent 9th readers were introduced, and for
the information of Miss III. ]. Watson
will give the exact date, so that she NAV

future. The Independent 9Th reader was
