Jailed:

A young man named Emanuel Shell
ton was arrested Sunday morning
early, on a charge of burglary. The
evidence against the young chap is
very strait and complete. Sometime
during the small hours of Sunday
night he entered the residence of Peter
Moore, living northeast of town some
four miles. After building a. fire and
making himself comfortable, he very
d eilbe rately went to work to make a
raise. Having formerly worked for
Mr.. Moore he was fully familiar with
the premises and succeeded in securing
a pocket book, knife and some jewelry.
Having secured these and something
to eat, be next proceeded to the resi-
dence of AndyiLowe, and attempted to
90 through il in the same manner.
Wakefullness on the part of MIR Lowe
alarmed the burglar and he took the
alarm and departed. Mr.. Moore had
no difficulty in tracking him to his
nelghbor's house, and thence to town.
EARLY Sunday morning ne was discov-
cred by the searching party snugly en-
sconced in bed at the kirksville House,
and placed under arrest. The missing
articles and money were found in his
possession, and he waived examination
and went to Jail. He is said to be a
grandson Of Obidiah Lowe of this
county,

4 Public School Report.

We have received and partially pu'
in type, what purports to be a report Of
our public schools for last week. On
examination we find 1t to be only list
of pupils who have fallen below GER
tain grade, though what that grading
consists of is not explained. We have
decidedto omit it for several reasons.
First. it is matter pertaining to the In
ternal administration OF the school and
should be kept there. However light
ly older people may look upon the
matter. little ones especially would
keenly feel the disgrace; and all expcr
fence goes to show that whatever
breaks down pride OF character either
in child or man is injurious. Let Il
child or man feel that they are dis
graced before community and half
the incentive to reform is taken away.
We do not believe a teacher would be
upheld in holding weekly whipping
matinee on the public square, how
ever beneficial he might lind the APP
plication of the rod in his school.room.
Second, the family newspap er can fin q
better business than making a public
pillory of its columns in which to hold
up little girls and little boys to discred-
liable publicly, and We do not propose
to do it. If our contemporaries choose
to they may and welcome, but if they
do we honestly think that they will be
lending themselves to contempnbly
little business. No! Teachers go on
with your work. Govern your schools
within themselves, and in your own
way, and if you fail-then fail and quit
the business, but don't depend on the
publication of BLACK LIST in a pub.
ic newspaper to help you out.
