Error to the Circuit Court of Lawrence
county, Hon. A. G. Mayors, Judge.
The plaintiff in error was indicted, trie
and convicted of perjury for making false
report under oath, of the number of pupils
in attendance at his school, under the 9Th
section of the Public School law.-Acts
1876, p. 200.
The Indictment charged "that o. W
Weary teacher, etc." omit
ting the word principal" before the word
''teacher." Was the omission fatal to the
Indictment
SIMRALL, G. j.
Held
/. The indictment is bad because it does
not alledge that the defendant was the ''prin-
cipal" teacher of the school.
The Sth section of the 'Act to amend
the laws in relation to public educa-
tion," passed 18th April, 1876, pamphlet
Acts, p. 209, requires every principal
teacher in the public schools to keep a reg
lister of the names, ages, sex, color
and the names of the absentees for
each day. From such register the said
principal teacher shall at the end of each
month make out report (embodying all
the above facts) to the county Superin-
tendent. Such report shall be verified by
the affidavit of the teacher.
2. The general rule in this State is, that !
the indictment must pursue the words of the |
statute descriptive of the offensa. But that |
will not suffice if the statute itself does not |
convey to the mind clear and full descrip. !
ton of the otfense in such case the indict- |
ment must set forth by apt and proper |
words, full and accurate description of |
the offense.
The rule is that nothing is to be supplied
by intendment. "The charge must be ex~
plicit enough to support ITSELF"
g. The person under the statute to keep
the register and make the report, verified
by affidavit is the principal teacher. We
cannot intend that the defendent was that
teacher. The indictment must SO charge
explicitly.
Judgment reversed, and the indictment
4uashed.

The dispatches of Yesterday morning
indicate that the efforts Of the charac-
terless shysters who have been in WASH

TO induce the Senate to investigate the
election of Senator Ingalls,, have come
to grief. The committee has, by vote
OF four to four, decided not to enter
upon an investigation. suppose this
settles the matter, so far as the Senate
is concerned. The decision is an emf
nently proper one. The Legislature
thoroughly investigated the case. and a
committee, appointed by an unscrupu-
lous Speaker, for the express purpose of
convicting, was compelled to declare
that there was no foundation for the
charges. We read the evidence taken
by this committee carefully. And we
said months ago, after reading it, what
we now repeat, that there is not de-

TOO MUCH PAINT IN THE BRUSH
WICHITA, June IL, 1879.

WICHITA, June ~, 1917.
To tie Editor Of tie Eagle:
think your picture Of the hail storm
was rather overgrown. The idea that
any wheat field was totally destroyed,
or that any wheat field was completely
beat into the ground, or that the trees
hadn't hardly sound leaf left, is simply
q wild exaggeration. 1t is true the storm
broke some glass ON the north, destroy
ed the garden vegetables that were
young and tender, and broke few
small branches from the fruit trees. We
have the largest collection of small fruit
of any one in the vicinity Of Wichita,
and no doubt had more pears and peach
es on my trees than any other man in
this vicinity, most of which was beaten
of, but not one tree was broken down
by the storm, and very few branches
broken of. Our wheat was straw
broken in consequence of hail, so We
have to NOW it with a moving machine
and rake up and stack without binding.
No doubt others might do likewise If
they would 60 to work industriously to
save what they could, and they could
probably save from two-thirds to three
fourths of what they would have had if
there had been no hail. We are fearful
that when our eastern friends come to
see such wild exaggerations they viii
say they can't believe any thing they
hear from Kansas under a week after
they know it is true. Let us bear in
mind the sensible saying Of Shakespeare,
80, consistency thou art blessed jew
el." Yours truly. c.
I'VE suppose the above calls for word
from us. We don't mind being called a
liar, but we don't like to be lied about.
We did not say that any orchard was
totally destroyed, but what We did say
we stand by, and it will be vain for Mr..
c., or any one else, to gloss the matter
over. Of course it wasn't much of q
storm that blew down fifty buildings
within twenty-five miles Of us; that
knocked holes through roofs and sides
of houses killed o woman and two
children, and so on. Another thing Mr..
G. is mistaken in about as bad as he is
in the storm-Shakespeare never wrote
the line, nor any thing like it.-ED.l

TO THETEACHERs OF sEDGwICK
COUNTY.

WICHITA, KANSAS, june II, 1879.
| The teachers annual Normal Institute
|pf Gelgwiek county win commence on
|a[e1ay, ysly p, 1879, for a term Of four
webs, and longer if desirable. Prof. g..
II. Woodward, who has SO ably superin-
tesded the City Schools during the past
year, and who is an experienced insti-
tnte instructor will conduct the Insti-
tute. He will be assisted by other in
structors. For two years the grade has
been raised gradually. 1t is proposed
by the Board of Examiners to raise the
grade after the Institute in the following
particulars, viz: For the second grade
the applicant must not fall below so, and
must have an average of 40 per cent. on
the whole number Of branches. Grade
one must average 80 per cent. and not
fall below 60 in any branch; grade "a"
must average 80 and not fall below IS
per cent. One years teaching for grades
one and "a" will be required in addi-
ton to the above per cents. In our in
stitute work this year, prominence will
be given to the common branches. In
structiOn will be given in each of the
following branches: photography Read
ing, Penmanship, Geography, Arith-
metic, Grammar, United States History
and Constitution, Drawing, Book-keep-
ing, Geology, Botany, Entomology Ply
siOlOgy and Didactics.
COURSE OF Study
At meeting of the State Teachers
Association, to be held at Lawrence in
June, a permanent course Of study for
Normal Institutes will be established,
which we will endeavOr to follow.
TEXT BOOKS.
Teachers attending the Institute are
requested to bring with them all the text
books they may have, rs topics for study
will be announced previous to the time
of reciting and it is highly important
that they consult a number of authors
on each subject in order to prepare them
selves thoroughly for recitation.
FEES.
The only fee charged is one dollar reg
istratiOn fee. This will be expected in
advance or before the close of the session.
EXAMINATION.
An examination of candidates for
Teachers certificates will be held TT the
close of the Institute. A fee of one dol
lar will be charged for this also.
SUGGESTIONS.
Teachers may enroll ut any time. An
effort will be made on the part Of the
Conductor, his Assistant and the County
Superintendent to make this the most
efficient pleasant and profitable Institute
ever held in the county, and to do this we
expect the hearty cooperation of those
who meet with us. Persons desiring to
become members Of the Institute should
be present on the first day. A large at
tendance is anticipated. Every one who
expects to teach the coming year should
not fail to embrace this opportunity for
making preparations for the work.

County Superintendent, Wichita, Hans.
