What's His OElssion ?
LAKE CHARLrs, Oct. 10, 1884.

LAKE CHARLES, Oct. 10, 1884.
Editor Lake Charles Echo.
You being one Of the honorable
members Of our Parish School Board
!, as an humble citizen, would like to
ask the following question: as d.
D. Lewis employed by the School
Board TO run around among our col
ored population and tell them that
Edward ]. Gay is the man who caused
a reduction Of the laborers wages in
the sugar district and is Free Trader,
and to vote for Kellogg or is he en-
ployed to teach colored public
school? / think the latter"
The Democrats furnish the money
to educate the colored people in order
to harmonic their ignorant habits and
enlighten them, and not for political
purposes; and it is not proper to en-
ploy teachers that neglect their duties
for the purpose of furthering the
political ends of such demagogues as
VIM. Pitt Kellogg. If this man
Lewis wants to canvass for Kellogg,
let Kellogg support him, not the
Democratic tax payers of Calcasieu.
Yours in a hurry,
BoUNcER.
In answer to "Bouncer's" inquiries,
under the head of "What's His Mis-
sion," VIC reply that we know not; but
politics and school teaching do not 90
well together, and that Mr.. Lewis is
employed by the Parish School Board
for the exclusive purpose of teaching
the colored children, and not to spend
his time running around electioneer-
ing for Kellogg or any one else. We
therefore advise Mr.. Lewis to leave
politics for politicians, and for him
to devote his entire energy to the ad-
vancement of those submitted to his
instruction. We have no doubt but
that the School Board has an eye on |
its teachers.

TINE KILLING Of GEORGE srarrrs...
MOUNT HOPE, March IA, 1884.

|
To IL Editor Of the Eagle:
The people Of Greeley township were
horror-stricken Wednesday afternoon by
the news that Norman Farthing had killed
George Sertees. 1t appears that there had
been bad blood brewing between the Ser
tees and the Farthings, for some months
past, over some land. FAthing's father and
family lived in one Of Sertees' houses; had
put in some wheat on another place belong
ing to Sertees, and claimed he had rented
some more OF the land adjacent to the
wheat for corn, and the house he lived in
until next March. Sertees claimed that the
bargain for the land was not fully made
until . certain contract had been signed,
which Farthing not liking, would not sign,
whereupon Sertees refused to give them
possession Of the land; also claiming that
Farthing had not rented the house only I'M
next fall. On last Wednesday, just after
dinner, young Farthing came on to the
land to rake up the corn stalks. Sertees
told him at the house, that he need not un-
load the rake, as he could not have the land.
Farthing went to the field. Sertees, to-
gether with Mr.. Royce, his iather-in-law,
either just before or behind, went along
the same road to pick corn (Royce's little
boy was also with them) close to where
Farthing went to rake stalks. They again
had some words, Sertees saying to Royce:
Farthing said he would quit when he got
to the ether end. Farthering did not quit,
but went two rounds, Serteer said he
guessed Farthing was not going to quit and
went again to him, stepped before the team,
and they commenced to talk again Earth
ing was accompanied by boy about ten or
twelve years old). Sertees and Farthing
got into squabble. One side says Sertees
struck Farthing with a wagon rod, knock
ing him down, when Farthing drew his re-
volver and fired three shots. Royce says
he heard Farthing say, "I'll shoot you,"
turned around, and saw no attempt to
shoot. he turned to his work again, but
hearing the same threat again, turned and
saw Farthing shoot three times, mean
while Sertees grabbed the rod (after Earth
ing commenced to draw the pistol and
knocked him down. Farthing then ran
away, going home. Royce started for Ser
tees, but before he got half way Sertees fell
and did not breathe again. Farthing was
hurt pretty bad. w. j. COLLIER.
Later.-Farthing has given up himself to
N. l.. Watson, Justice Of the Peace. Preiim-

OUR SCHOOL TEACHERS.

An association of the teachers of South
western Kansas viii be held in this city on
the 2sth and 29th of this month. The EA-
GLE has been discussing for u year past the
failures Of the Kansas graded system OF pub
lie schools. We suggest that the time is op-
perfume and the occasion fit one for
the members of that association TO make
strike which will be felt throughout the
State-a strike for reform The field is a
wide one and they can't strike amiss. Take
for instance, the question OF examinations.
We tell these teachers that under the pres
ent system graduate of Yale or Harvard
who might be entered In primary depart
ment of some of our Kansas graded
schools couldn't graduate short Of six or
eight years, although he might actually
know more than all the professors in the
State. The practical results of the meth
DDS Of examinations Of pupils tend directly
to deprive children of the benefits which
the schools are intended to furnish by de-
priving them Of promotions to which they
are entitled. But that is but one failing.
Let us hear from you about the abuse Of
authority and the use OF peoples money in
hiring these pe.iprtetic teachers and tramp
professors who 20 about the country from
school TO school teaching little music, q
little writing, or little drawing, or little
of nothing. Dilate little upon the fact
that the curse of modern public schools is
their expansiyeness, that village schools are
made to initiate universities In their scope,
to the neglect OF photography and reading
and 80 forth and SO forth. Or, take new
departure on the tardy bell and examining
system, by one Of which little nervous chill
dren's lives are rendered burthen, and by
the other Of which mere babes are given
higher mathematics, composition, drawing,
music, mental philosophy, history, the nat
ural sciences, and ut last coffin and grave.
The teacher or the association OF teachers,
| who shall successfully burn, blister and
blast our existing American system Of pub
lie schools will have done the present gen.
Grafton greater good than has any Of her
statesmen.

the GREAT STOCK FARM.

Extensive improvements are being made
in the great stock farm south Of Cheney, of
which we published an account a few weeks
since. as having been purchased by Mr..
Jewett, Of Buffalo, New York, for which he
paid S60, 200 in cash for the raw land, and
which is 1G miles around it. The twenty
odd teams which we mentioned have been
busy. Last week there was received at
this point, and which was forwarded to the
farm, ten car loads Of lumber, one car load
OF agricultural implements, one car load OF
house furniture, one car load Of hardware
and tools, and one car load of oats for seed.
Mr.. Jewett is determined to make it the
greatest farm in the State of Kansas and
the great valley county is just the place for
IL.
The announcement of the death of eX-
Deputy Sheriff Daniel Webster on Monday
knew Of his sickness. He had been con-
fined to his bed at the home of ex-SheriG
Watt for nearly two weeks with low ma
larial fever. HIS mother arrived from Hol-
ton. Jackson county, about week ago, and
was with him up to the hour Of his death.
He will be buried this "wednesday fore
noon from the Methodist church, the fun.
eral having been postponed on account OF
the non-arriyal Of his father. Dan Webster
had a great many warm friends, not only in
this city, but throughout the county. He
was full of life, and he was the soul OF kind
ness, both as citizen and as an officer. He
was a member OF the NJ. f. church and an
officer of the Sabbath school, which will
sadly miss his presence. In saying last
and sad goodbye to Dan, We can also say
that all of his old friends will not be long
in taking the same sleep.
Our birth is but sleep and a forgetting;
The soul that rises with US, our life's star,
Hath b adj elsewhere its setting,
Aud cometh from afar;
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in the utter darkness,
But trailing clouds Of glory, do we come
From God. who is our home.

THE NEW ROLLER MILL.

We have always maintained that Wichita
was destined TO be the great milling center
of the Southwest. The reliability Of the
wheat crop, which has never been failure
since the country was settled-except the
grasshopper year in 1874, and this was not
the fault of the soil or climate-to together
with the superior quality Of that cereal, are
advantages unsurpassed by any locality in
the West; add to this the facilities for dis
tribution furnished by our three lines OF
railroads, with others approaching, the
cheapness OF fuel aud the abundance of wa
ter-power developed aud undeveloped, and
Wichita should be the millers' paradise.
Under the old system of grinding with
burrs our mills have made an almost nation
al regulations; but the vast Innovations up
on that system, which had hardly changed
for centuries, during the past few years,
have brought roller -four to the front all
over the world. In order to keep abreast
of the times Messrs. Deffenbaugh, Lewis Il
Co., Of the water mill, with the true enter
prise of this city, have just completed one
of the finest roller mills to be found in the
state. For three months the mill has been
shut down, during which time thirteen
millwrights have been constantly employed
in tearing out old machinery and putting
in new. The mill has now a full roller sys-
TEN, carried out in all is details as fully as
in the Minneapolis mills, whose reputation
is worldwide.
The whole plan and working diagrams
were prepared by Mr.. Odell in person, the
inventor of the 0dell system.
There are ten sets of iron rolls. The
wheat first passes through set Of these,
called the first break, and is broken in two
at the seam, releasing all the seam-dirt,
which is then blown out; next it is convey
ed by elevators to the second set of rolls and
broken little finer, boiled and passed to
the third, and SO on until it has passed
through the whole ten sets, gradually being
reduced finer and finer, through purifiers,
centrifugal reels, asprators, bran busters,
etc., always kept perfectly cold. Under the
old system the chop comes from the burrs
hot and steaming, and the life ground out
of it. In the new, the flour under the
microscope, shows up sharp and rough like
powdered glass, only snowy white. This
roughness is what gives the -four life, and
makes bread light aud white.
The third grade of flour made under the
roller system compares favorably with the
first grade made by the best mills under the
old process, while the first grade leads them
so far that there can be no comparison. We
have never seen anything that surpassed
Roller Mills. With the adoption Of the
rollor system by all our mills, which will
doubtless be accomplished within a few
months, Wichita will take front rank in
all the flour markets of the world, for the
magnitude and superiority of her products.
