A snccrssfnI Tcnrher

Miss Minnie Parker, young lady
we'll known and highly esteemed by the
young people Of EmpoIia, closed a five
months school ON the 22d OF February,
IN district 81, and has proved herself to
be one of the best OF teachers. Although
il was her first school she has left a
place where the memory of her will be
a pleasant one TO all who knew her. Her
work in the school room has been thor
ough and all arc satisfied. In connec-
ton with the school she has taken an
active part in literary society in the
same district, where With her help they
have done good work. In conclusion
would say to any one who may want to
engage Miss Parker's services in school
that they need not fear her ability to
teach, for she is perfectly capable of
doing good work in the school room. I
am well acquainted with the people of
district 90 and they are all ready to
sound her praises. o. s.

BY Way of Explanation

To tie Citizens Of Emportd:
find considerable lack Of under
standing in the minds of our citizens, as
to what constitutes the ''incidental ex-
penses" IF the Knights Templar Band
which we ask the citizens to pay by
subscription. For the information of
all will itemlze the principal part of
such expense.
We pay MIR. Egan, for services as lead
err and director, $500 per year; We pay
$12O per year for room for practice,
fuel and lights; for janItor $50; music
etc, say $50 and we have total expense
of $500 for the year. Several of our
members are mechanics whose wages
represent their capital. The loss of a
day from the shop entails the loss of a
days wages. We are often called upon
to play without pay, and whenever we
do this our mechanics should not be ex-
pscted to give their time and labor for
| nothing, and at the same time lose a
days wages. We want sufficient fund
in the treasury to pay them their wages
on such occasions just the same as if
they had put in their time in their shops.
In this way our band can be kept up to
its standard of excellence. We are will
ing to give our time and labor, but we
do ask you to relieve US of at least por-
tIon of the.expense.

A Circular that Made a Stir ar Topeka
Topeka Capital: The CITY has been
flied with gamblers from all parts of the
state for some time. anxiously awaiting
the action ofthe legislature on the gamb-
ling bill, known as the Rector bill in
the senate and Burton bill in the house.
The senate bill has been passed ana both
bills are now in the committee Of the
whole house. These measures make the
keeping OF faro banks and other gamb-
ling games felony, and in Missouri
where a similar law is in force, 1t is
found 10 be effrctual in eradicating the
faro banks. Behind these bills, howev-

is said that these bills were
introduced at the instance
of two notorious gamblers. That alter
