Notes of Interest in Connection With
the Public Schools.
After weeks vacation the city schools
have resumed work, both pupils and
teachers being much refreshed by the
rest
Miss Carswell is on duty again, feel
ing that she will now be able to finish
the school year.
Thirty-fi new pupils were admitted
to the schools this week besides many
old ones having been restored, thus
making our schools as full as ever.
Professor Fulton has large class of
pupils in elocutIon. Such work is
much needed and will be a benefit to the
class and school alike.
The following is summary of the
last school month: Total number en-
rolled, 1909; average number belonging,
920; average daily attendance, sos; num-
Der tardy, 400; half day absences, 2,204;
number neither absent nor tardy, 3I5;
per cent. of attendance on average num-
Der belonging of number neither alb
sent nor tardy, "a; number corporal
punishments, 8; number dropped, 1873;
number admitted, 1875; number sus-
pended, 6 number visitors, 43.
We respectfully call the attention of
the patrons to the number of halliday
absences. 1t is often thought light
matter to detain pupil out for half
day, but it is loss TO the pupil and a
damage and annoyance to the whole
school. The number of hdlEday alb
sences for the last month was 2204; the
whole number of halfdays on an aver
age number belonging last month was
only 1910; the number neither absent
nor tardy was 3l5; the haIf-days of this
number taken away leave 1874 half-days
to be distributed among COS pupils,
making more than an average of five
half-dsys for each pupil or one eighth of
to, thine is money" and send your
children regularly TO school.
The Second avenue school starts Of
we'll under the new teacher, Miss Leafy
Dean Farnham. Miss Farnbam gradu-
ated from the high school of this city
last year. As only two months remain
of the school year We trust that parents
will endeavor TO have their children reg
ularly at school. There will be public
oral examination of all the schools by
committees appointed for that purpose
at the close of the present. school month.

EDITOR OF THE TINES The veteri-

his allusiOn TO using it now in his prac-
tice for several human ailments on ac-
count of the success he has always met
with. The above statements from so
prominent q physician gave me great
faith in its efficacy, and as had been
afflicted for years with rheumatism and
hipjoint lameness so bad that could
hardly walk n times, procured q bot
tie aid Is has completely cured me I
wish to proclaim iE TO all the world as
the most wonderful discovery ever made
for the benefit of afflicted men as we'll as
for the poor horse, far which il was first
used. As this remedy must be of meal
culabie value to the world, write this
letter to express my thankfulness to you
for ever mentioning it in your columns

Dots from Dell.


Items of interest were scarce around
Dell the past week. = Farmers were
pushing their operations as fast as posi-
bic during the fine weather last week.
All appear TO be hopeful of good crops
the coming season. Mrs. McAutee
lost fine cow few days ago. She got
corn down her wind pipe and died i'm
mediately. A pint of corn and cobs
chewed up was found in her wind pipe.
-. Mrs. A. NJ. Philips and her two
daughters went east last Tuesday on
visit to her mother and other relatives
who live in New York. In our Dots
last week we mentioned q romantic
wedding that took place on 142 creek.
The parties were Miss Emma DENLY,
daughter of Joseph DENLY, and Mr.. E.
NJ. Moon, young man who has been
working in the neighborhoOd for over a
year, part of the time for the brides
father. We were mistaken in our guess
that the matter would quiet down IN a
few days. The bride has been stolen
away from her husband. She had left
note in her room when she went to
get married, telling her father where to
find her if he wished to see her. Her
father and sister went, and they had
stormy time of it. She finally went
home with them, but later in the day
weRt back TO her husband. On Friday
morning, the 10th inst, her husband
took her over to her fathers and left her
there. That is the last he has seen of
her. They had arranged to go to EN-
poria the next morning to get their out
fit for housekeeping, having a house
ready to go into. Mr.. Moon, we under
stand. has been away for few days, bEt
has now returned, and we have been in
formed that he heard nothing of his
wife and thinks improper means have
been used to get her away. Our only
excuse for making this SO lengthy is
that we have a romance in real life, and
the man that puts it in proper form and
has it published will make his fortune.

The above theme formed the basis of
the effective temperance address de-
livered at the Congregational church
last Monday by Mrs. HoIyoke. While
there is no issue fraught with more
important results TO humanity than the
temperance question, the subject has
become so hackneyed that it seems next
to impossible to invest its discussion
with fresh interest or TO present it in a
light which will command a degree of
attention commemorate with its I'M
portance. Thls formidable obstacle
to success in the most noble work which
can engage the energies of the reformer
or phiianthropist was surmounted with
apparent ease by Mrs. Holyoke, who
presented her views in a manner so
widely at variance with the style of the
conventional temperance lecturer as to
enlist the fullest sympathy of her hear
ers and hold their undivided attention
throughout The evening. There is
that in the presence of the speaker
which at once commands respect, and
while the subject matter of her lee
lures evinces the most profound research
Snd familiarity with the work in which
she is engaged, it is, after all, the thor
oughly wOmaniy qualities of the lady
which appeal most strongly 10 her audi
ence. and the lovely attributes of the
wife and mother which were reflected in
her eloquent plea for the protection of
the home against the evils of rum and
its coneomitant evils, touched respon.
siys chord in the heart OF every one pres
ent who realized the sacred nature OF
family ties and the grave importance Of
home training upon the morals of so
ciety.
The speaker possesses voice of rare
sweetness and her well-timed vocal Sc
lections and recitations proved an &C
ceptable feature.

pearance Buck must be about thirty
years of age He is short of stature and
is rather heavy in his build, has a san

looks equal TO any enterprise he might
be prompted To undertake.
Raush is quite the opposite, being
tall and slender, with a somewhat s4llow
complexion, and not showing anything
like the resolution in his features which
is stamped on Bucks couniennnce.
Both prisoners were well dressed
and were persons of fair adj
dress and manners. They were hand
cuffed and man acled together, and in
this shape they were taken on the Mis-
sour Pacific train east by Constable
Kringle, who expects to reach Lebanon
with them about the middle of the week.
Buck told Deputy Sheriff Beers that
there were twelve cents in the charge
against him, though he did not specify
what they were and Kringle refused to
communicate any particulars regarding
the charge.
