Outline OF Work In the kindergarten.
On speaking of the opening of the
kindergarten last Monday we gave
the program of exercises but did not say
anything about the way In which they
were conducted. This will no doubt be
of interest to mae yand hence we will
briefly state as beA We can the admira-
bic way in which the little folks are
amused, and at the same, instructed
The first exercise is weaving, and con-
sists in drawing cords through perfo-
rated card board. Each child is furn-
ished with 3 book containing the card
and cord, and at given signal each one
opens his book and takes the card
and cord and is ready to commence
work. or course each one has to be
shown, with a great deal of patience for
while. but it not long until all are as
busy as bees. The children are kept a.
this work about twenty minutes and are
given blocks with which they construct
figures of different forms until the time
comes for their calesthenic exercises.
These exercises consist of various arm
and foot movements and are greatly en-
joyed by all. The drawing exercise con
sists in drawing lines. or easy straight
line figures upon states and is one of the !
most interesting things to the child upon
the program, as nothing Dleases children |
more than the privilege of marking on |
the slate" THE recess is taken in q sepa-
rate room in which there is piano, and |
where they can play and sing amid the
sweetest music. The plays consist In |
marching, cat and mouse, and singing. |
The cat and mouse game is very exciting |
to the little people. and intensely inter
esting to the big ones.
r other exercises we did not see |
gone through with, but understand that |
they are conducted about the same as |
they usually are in our primary schools,
yet with the most accurate precision |
One thing is very noticeable in this |
school, and that is the complete control |
the teacher has over the pupils. If a |
little kinder" at any time becomes dis
couraged, smile and an encouraging
word from the teacher is sufficient 10 in
sure immediate obedience. Miss Kulh-
man is assisted in her work by teachers

To Ayenge the Murder of Rabb, but Find

By special adyices from Cottonwood
Falls, We learn that a mob numbering
about one hundred and fifty, organized
at Strong City Sunday, their purpose
being to lynch the colored men, Ed.
Bridges, Ben Ray, alias Scraggs, and
Geo. Brakeman, who were in confine-
ment at Cottonwood Falls on charge
of being participants in the serious row
which lately occurred at Strong City. the
particulars of which we have already
published.
About ten o'clock at night informa-
ton was given Sheriff Balch that such
mob had formed and with the above
purpose. The sheriff at once set about
to Illustrate such movement and with
this-vIew he procured a team, and secur-
ing the three culprits, set out for the
Jail at Eureka, Greenwood county He
had not been gone over ten minutes
when the mob surrounded the jail,
armed to the teeth, and called for the
prisoners Upon learning that they had
been out-witted by the sheriff, and the
birds had flown, no one knew in what
direction, they were Obliged to content
themselves with loud words of impre-
cation and the discharging of their re-
volvers in the air. This, for the time.
seemed to satisfy them, but finally becom-

ers, they dispersed.
Sheriff Balch is likely now in Eureka
with his men, where they will be con-
confined until the setting of the Chare
county court, which will convene a.;,,.u.
the middle of May.
We are sorry that the citizens of
Strong City should seek to take the law
IN their own hands, even though they
consider the case an aggravated one,
and hope that better counsels will pre-.
vail with them in future.
