WIToKA. MIN. Aug. 16, 1881

WIToKA, MINI, Aug. Is, 1881.
To the Editors of the Standard:
am still at the above place. My
school closed about two weeks ago.
Minnesota is very active in her edpca-
tional enterprises. There is good
system Of public schools all over the
state. This State has the county su-
pervision system. ! am well pleased
with it. The superintendent is elected
by the voters Of the county, and de-
votes his whole time and attention to
the schools. He is required by law to
visit each school twice every year
There are from seven to nine months
school in all districts. Teachers
wages from $25 to $50 per month.
Farmers are about done cutting
their hafyegt, Stacking is being
rushed this week. Wheat, oats and
barley will be an average crop III this
part Is. E) of the State. The country
looks as if it were one continued grain
field. An abundant crop, and high
prices is badly needed among the far
mers of Minnesota. More than two
thirds of the farms are heavily mort
gagged.
1t is quite expensive to farm here.
The winters are long, and one must
have considerable machinery in order
to save his crops, although | think the
trouble with great many farmers is
they have invested too heavily in ma
chinery that they could well have done
without.
There are great many self-binders
here now. | saw several working this
harvest. They work to perfection.
One man and three good horses will
cut and bind about - to Is acres a
day. The binders bind well and Sc
curely. They leave no grain on the
ground. But the land must be smooth
and leyel-clean from stones and
stumps.
1t has been very wara fere this
summer. Thermometer stood several
days from IS to 100 degrees in the
shade, Cool and dry now. Severe
storms are becoming very frequent
and destructive in Minnesota, There
have been the sharpest lightning apd

loudest thunder here this summer that
| ever experienced.
MIR. Frank Rowley. of whom [
spoke before, is still living here. His
health is very poor at present. Not
able to be about much of the time.
The other members of his family are
all well. Mrs. Rowley's health has
been quite good since she came to this
State. Mrs. Geo. Thomas, formerly
Miss Rilla Rowley, is making prepa-
ration for a grand tin wedding the
10Th of this month. A pleasant time
is anticipated.

WE had intended to say something

We had intended to say something
this week about the comet, but it is
not materializing as the astronomers
led us to believe. It is moving rapidly
to tn left, or west, and rising higher
from the horizon each night. On
Friday night it was directly under the
great dipper. On Sunday night it
was on line with the pointers, or
end of the bowl Of the dipper. Look
north, and nearly half way up from
the horizon to the zenith, and you will
see pretty bright star. This is the
North star, or pole star. Now to the
left, and a little down, are the two
pointers Of the great dipper. On a
line with the North star and these
pointers still down and to the left, is
the comet, the body Of a hazy dim
light, and the tail, just visible, point
ing up from the sun, towards the
body Of the dipper.
By the motion of the earth, causing
the apparent motion of the heavenly
bodies, the comet appears to circle
down to the right, eastward, under
the pole star, and before day can be
seen in the northeast.

by the preacher. He said he had nev-
er met me before, but that he had
very often heard of me; that he was
well acquainted with some Of my
nephews, who were men of good char
acter. | afterwards learned that he
referred to l. V. Kelly, of Ironton,
now recorder of Lawrence county, and
DIR. VIM. Phillips of Beaver. After |
had talked, there was again singing,
after which III. A. Hunter was called,
and made speech Then J. X. Stew
art was called and made a speech.
Now came dinner, and | ate with
the family of Amos T. Swan. l had
many pressing invitations to dinner,
and among others the family of my
old friend Daniel Kelly, and others.
After dinner | fed the horse, Delay
having sent corn for that purpose. I
inquired about water, when n. 7.
Hoover, who was formerly Coroner of
the county, said his boy Johnny would
take the horse to water. Mrs. Hoover
is a daughter of Daniel Kelly, and she
is a most intelligent and pleasant la
dy. They have six children, all boys
but one. They are very proud Of their
little girl. Mr.. Hoover has been tax
ing the STANDARD ever since he came
out of the army, and he says Johnny
is so attached to the paper that he
must continue to take it as long as
Johnny remains with him.

Rutledge many years. He is an ex
cellent man. | had an introduction
to his wife. She said she was the per

the paper was preserved by her becaus
it was dated about the time she wa

There are many more pleasant Incl
dents of the day which I would lik
to mention, but [ must hasten.
After dinner there were speeches b.
DIR. johnson A. White, G.. w. Vanc
and Mr.. Harrison, the minister.
The singing at this celebration wa
much above the average-in fact, i
was fine. There was wonderful
manifestation of hospitality and kind
neighborly feeling among the people
I never saw healthier looking or pret

Charles Foster.

We have been noticing our Demo-
cratic exchanges with some interest
to see what they might have to say
against Charles Foster as Governor OF
Ohio. He has made one of the best
Governors the State ever had. Hayes,
Allen and Bishop all made mistakes
in their appointments, as their best
friends had to admit; but no man can
find fault with any thing Foster has
done as Governor. He sold calico
during the war at war prices. That Is
all the charge against him.

Do the people of this State know

Do the people Of this State know
that every year, Ohio sells 1,400 hu-
man beings into slavery, under the
convict contract system?" The
Democratic party proposes to abolish
this monstrous evil.-ClermOnt Sun.
Aside from the fact that there is
not word Of truth in the above, it is
valuable as a historical curiosity. 1t
is perhaps the first time ever Demo
cratic editor denounced slavery. The
Democratic party abolishing slavery,
is good.

Of discerning turn Of mind to tell us
just how much meaner was Guiteau' s
attack upon the physical life Of Presi-

for attack upon his social and political
life, by Mr.. Bookwalter, in the Ian
guage which we published last week
We regard Guiteau's act as not q
whit more cowardly and brutal than
Bookwalter's.

THROWN OUT OF A WINDOW.

The occupants of the tenement
house, No. 26 Westinghouse, and the
persons living in the rear of the
houses on each side, were startled
shortly after eight o'clock last even
ing by wild and piercing scream and
a call for help. A moment later a
dull thud was heard, and all was still.
The entire neighborhood was by this
time thoroughly aroused, and word
went from one and another that Mar
tin Lowery, who lived on the fourth
floor of No. 26 Westinghouse, had
attempted to kill his wife by throwing
her out of the bedroom window.
This report was strengthened by the
fact of woman being seen lying on a
shed below the window. Policeman
McDermott, of the Church Street Sta
ton, half dragged and half carried the
woman from the shed into the house.
It was Lowery's wife. She was insen-
sible and blood was flowing from her
mouth and cuts about her face
The officer at once went to Lowery's
room and there found him lying upon
lounge as if asleep. He denied
Ills Vile OuU VI Ullc WlluO".
He was drunk and was arrested. The
other tenants Of the house say that
Lowery and his wife had been drink
ing and quarreled all the afternoon,
and that he attempted to throw her
out Of the window about 2 o'clock be-
cause she refused to go after more
beer, but was prevented.
These extracts. remember, are taken
from only three numbers of one paper.
All the daily papers, and many of the
weeklies, have similar news items.
We wondered if the editors of these
papers would desire a continuance of
this personal liberty" if the women
sufferers were their mother, sister or
daughter; but many men become so
debased and degraded under the liquor
curse that they would rejoice to see
their own sons drunkards, or their own
daughters the wives of drunkards.
