The Teachers at Washington.

Ed. Register Having just returned from
the meeting of the "Southeast Missouri
| Teachers AssnciatiOn,' which held its last
session ut Washington, Missouri, send you
| herewith Il brief account of the same.
This organization is for the accOmmoda- =
| tion and benefit of those teachers who labor
| in that part of the State known as Southeast
Missouri. 1t holds an annual session OF
three days, sometime during the summer
HOLIDAYS, and to better accommodate all the
| teachers, it circulateS among the towns of the
Southeast. l may say that it bears about
| the same relation to the teachers work that
editorial conventions or attorneys cOnven-
tions do to the everyday work of those pro
fcssions. Whereas the 'Institutc" IS chiefly
for 4 review of the branches, he "Ass ocia-
ton" deals more with matters Of I profess
siOnal nature.
The session held last year at DeSoto was
attended by about one hundred and twenty
five teachers, and WAS perhaps the best Sos
sion yet held The meeting at Washington
was not so largely attended, being so far
from the center of the district, but was new
erthelcsS quite as interesting as any Of the
previous sessions.
The good people of Washington gave the
teachers free entertainment while there, and
an excursion on the Great Missouri at the
close. The teachers enjoyed the latter in
particular. Dancing ana music, principally
by the young folks of Washington, eniveued
the moonlight ride. Here let me say that
dancing.
Though we adore the ladies, we can't go
so far as Capt. Zwart and Judge Emerson.
II We are not miSinformcd, one or the other
is responsible for the statement that "sil adj
mfrcrs of the ladies are good iawyers.o We
can't claim that all who admire the ladies are
good teachers, yet good teachers usually adj
nlire ladies.
Washington is a very substantial town Of
about 900 population. on the Pacific Il. R.,
about fifty miles west of ST. Louis. No town
in the Southeast i. built so entirely of brick.
The town maintains few factories, one of
which we saw in ol,eration-a cob pipe fac
tory. The business gives employment to
about thirty men, and is Il curiosity indeed.
The population is about seven -eighths Ger
man, all of whom present the appearance of
industry, thrift and intelligence.
Wei, to conclude, we tiad been authorized
by many citizens If The Valley to invite the
next session to meet ut IroutOn, which we
did. We therefore announce that 1t Is the
desire and purpose of the Association to hold
a session at the academy of Music in Iron
ton, on the 21st, 22d and 23d Of next August.
Very respectfully. +. Z. MILLER.

terrible accident, causing three deaths
and severe injuries to several others, OCCUR
red In cut about mile north of Cadet, on
Wednesday Of last week. An "eXtra" en-
ginc from DcSoto, and Il heavy freight train
collided, demolishing both engines and pill
ing up the cars of the freight four deep.
On the ''eXtra" were only Brown Williams,
engineer, and Eugene Pinston, fireman, but
the freight engine had four men aboard.
Pinston was instantly killed, and Williams
died the same day. Henry Moore, one Of the
men on the freight engine died Sunday night
from his injuries. The track was obstructed
for several hours, No. COL, due here at 1
O'Clock, not making Ironton until 5 O'Clock.
The mails. passengers and baggage had to be
transferred, and the track was not cleared
until next day. The wreck occurred about
o'cl ock A. NJ, and was caused by the stop
ping Of Williams watch, which led him into
error as to his "time." He was, also, about
"dead on his feet" from oyerwork, and
therefore not in fit condition to ego out" on
the order which, however, he dared not dis
