The bill introduced by you To sell u

desire to dc anything which may render
the reservation lsss valuable or useful
as u military post, but the extent to
which this part Of the reservation has
been already applied TO railway pur-
poses by reason Of the Kansas and Mis-
souri, bridge company and the crossing

The subject Of kindergarten education
has been gaining ground in America
slowly but surely ever since its intro
ducti on. The merit Of the system has
been proven by the most careful test
and the severest criticism. The only
question now is, how may it best
and most speedily be introduced
Any one who has in any way
the charge of children, whether as teach
err, mother, or gOverness should thor
oughly understand the principles OF the
kindergarten. The school which opens
at the Normal April 10th will be in
charge of Miss Emily kaufman, a
thoroughly cultivated lady who was ed
ucated in Germany and France and has
q fine knowledge of kindergarten work,
together with practical experience in its
operation in America. In addition TO
the regular kindergarten school for
children, from TO 10 O'Clock on regu-
lar school days, and an afternoon class
in theory, there will be u Saturday
class, including course of ten lessons
for the benefit of teachers, mothers, or
any others who may desire more general
instruction, or cannot attend the school
day recitations. All who desire to join
this class should report at the first meet
ing which will be in the Normal build
| ing Saturday, April 9Th, at 3 O'Clock p. m
The tuition to all members of this class
has been fixed at s. for the term, which
will entitle them to full privileges OF

SEINE Fine Horses.

To-Day our attention was directed to
a shipment of young Clydesdale horses,
which arrived in Emporia last Friday
and were quartered at Gilchrist Bros.
stables They are the property of Arch
ibald Kerr, of near Eureka, Greenwood
county, and were bought in the vicinity
of Hamilton, Canada. The shipment
embraces seven fine young mares and
one stallion, none being over twenty
months old. The latter is we'll built,
nearly thoroughbred Clydesdale, and
will weigh in the neigLborhood of
twelve hundred pounds. The others
are, perhaps not SO pure in blood, but
they are all fine young stock, and will
at once catch the eye of Greenwood
county horsemen. We learn that Mr.
Kerr paid about 1926 apiece for the
seven, and for the eighth nearly 500.
They were looked over by a number of
gentlemen here, who are versed in horse
OlogY, and all pronounced them a fine
lot of draft animals, and commended
Mr.. KS judgment in bringing them to
Kansas where their progeny is sure
to be in demand.
