expressed themselves at meeting with
highly satisfactory results in purely oral
instruction, the general drift of opinion
seemed to be that at as early stage as
possible in their work the
pupils should be made familiar
with text books both as an aid to the
teacher and as means of discipline for
the pupil. On the other hand the text
book should not be 50 rigidly followed
as to be means of destroying independ-

NRw HEADQUARTERs.-Mr w. H.
Suppe, Of the 80 cent store, has leased
the large and eligible south room in the
Odd Fellows block, next to the court
house grounds, and about the list of May
will remove his store TO that location.
Mr.. Suppe has always had good
trade ever since his establishment in
Emporia, and for number of months
past his present quarters have been en-.
tirely too contracted for the transaction
OF his business, and he has found 1t ut
terly impossible to unpack and display a
large portion of his goods.
His new store will be bright, rOomy
and pleasant, and will afford him ex.
cellent opportunity to exhibit his stock
to the best advantage. Meanwhile, and
in order to save the trouble and expense
of moving so many articles,
the 99ct store, will during the
next few weeks sell goods at lower rates
than usual; for instance, handsome
chromos usually sold for two dollars
will be marked at $3.50; glassware, tin
ware and queens-ware of all kinds will
be sold for almost at cost prices, and
that means awful low with Suppe. Now
IL your opportunity just before the re-
moVal, as the goods can now be sold
cheaper than ever. Give the 90 cent
store a call. You can get nearly every
thing you need there.

Friday morning, at about O'Clock
fire was discovered in the Santa Fe
freight room, at the junction, and the
wind being from the west, the flames
were quickly communicated to the Eu
ropean Hotel, which, in the brief period
of fifteen minutes, was entirely consum
ed with all of its contents with the excep.
ton of a couple of trunks on the
lower floor. The alarm was sounded by
the switch engine, and the hose com
panies turned out with commendable
promptness, but before they could
reach the nearest plug, which was too
remote to be available, both the freight
room and the hotel were in ruins
The fire is supposed to have been the
work Of an inccndiary, though it may
have originated from sparks from a
passing engine.
Much credit is due II. NJ. Pagan and
M. Andrews, employees of the Santa Fe
at the junction, for their untiring efforts
to prevent the spread of the destructive
element, and who, by tearing up the
platform between the baggage room and

valuable paper by NJ. c. Hodge on the
Personal habits and qualifications of
the teacher" This essay was full of
practical and suggestive thoughts, and
viewed the subject broadly from the
physical, the intellectual and the
moral standpoint, and emphasized
the importance of right habits and
thorough preparation in the teachers
work. The teacher must carefully OBJ
serve hygienic rules, cultivate cheerful
ness of disposition; must be a hard
student; must aim at mental discipline
as the end of education; must have cor
