"There are in this world" quoth
Goethe. $50 few voices and so many
echoes" and it is one of the most dis
couraging signs which can be observed
of any time. that it is an age of echoes
There are so few men in this world
who have the intellectual power of
thinking for themselves good. honest,
original thoughts; and it IS By far so
much easier TO echo the idea. the mo-
tives and the conduct of others. that we
have got in our day to be largely mere
echoes of echoes. or echoes again Of
these echoes of echoes. Tradition
mocks some old fashion, which in turn
milniclSed something lying further
back. until the best Of Us hardly find
temerity to claim originality for our
most fincere thought or action.

When Women Ruled.

The sixteenth and seventeenth an
nual reports OF the trustees of the Pea
body Museum of American Arch8olo-
gy and Ethnology make noticeable
volume. The most entertaining arti-
Gle is that by Lucien Carr on the So
cial and political position of women in
early times among the Indian tribes
east Of the Mississippi and south of
the st. Lawrence and the great lakes.
Among other things Mrs. Carr says:
In matters of war the man was the
oretically free to do as he pleased, but
practically he was not SO, for the ma
tron of his household might forbid his
departure, and she could order him to
go out on the warpath, even when he
preferred peace. In her hands was
the fate of prisoners; she could adopt
them into the family or order them to
be burned, and in the latter case no
one could save them. When chief
dled the matron of his household ap-
pointed his successor, and women
could depose chief whom Shey dis
liked.
1t was woman who transmitted no.
bility of blood, and inheritance, and
VINO perpetuated the family. They
possessed all authority, were the own
ers OF land, the soul of the councils,
and the arbiters of peace and
war. They had the care of the treas
ury and of all social and family mat
tiers. Men were only the representa-
tives of woman, to act for her in those
affairs in which it was not becoming
for her to act for herself These
tribes, in which women held all the
power and influence which the
women's rights party asks for women
to-day were only partially civilized
they were in the state that Morgan
calls the middle stages of barbarism.

One of the stone masons at work on
the Washington monument told a re-

almost knocked him from his feet.

SCHOOL ITEMS.
BY ADAM AND EVE.

The school re-opened last Monday
morning with a somewhat larger at
tendance than before vacation. There
were 259 pupils in the several rooms
Monday. Evidently both teachers
and pupils feel the benefit of weeks
rest. We feel in q better humor over
the injury we suffered the I'D of Feb
ruary. !,
The higher grades are setting a good
example to the lower. There was no
absence or hardness in the eighth or
ninth last week. The ninth has not
scored a tardy mark since Dec: lst-
Mr.. Wakefield and Mr.. Johnson
visited the schools week before last.
Mr.. Henderson called the same time
and seemed much pleased with the
dilligent effort put forth by each one
to attain the highest marks.
Miss Sadie Reimert is teaching in
the place Of Miss Ausherman, who is
sick.
The pupils in Miss Keyser's room
have organized q Literary society.
We heard that the society in Mr.. Mer-
wins room had "broken up in row."
The several inquiring somebody's"
who are so anxious to find out whethei
or not we are self-appointed school cor
respondents, can find an answer II they
ask the CORRESPONDENTS themselves.

OUR NEW PRESS.

Each week since we got our new
press we have intended to publish a
cut of 1t and detailed description oft,
but have been prevented by lack OF
space. And a. this promises to be
chronic condition we must content our
selves with a few words in regard to it,
cordially inviting our readers to make
up the deficiency by calling and exam
lining the press for themselves. The
press is called the Prouty Power Press,
and is manufactured by Walker d Co.,
of Madison, Wis. 1t was purchased
direct from the factory, through r. NJ.
E Cooper, general agent, and is bran
new press, envious reports to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. The press is
quite. an expensive one, costing laid
down here $3.50, but its advantages
over the hand press in rapidity and in
the character Of the work, are enough
to make up the difference in the cost.
This week, for example, we worked of
the paper in two hours and half,
while with the hand press we could
not have done the work in much less
than eight hours.
The machine IL gotten up in in q
very ingenious manner, and Is well
worth seeing.
Wednesday forenoon and Friday
forenoon are our press days, and any
one wishing to call and see the press
in operation will be made very vel
come. t1

Manhall Conley arrested two young
men who live up on Rock creek, last
Wednesday, charged with being drunk
and disordefly. While waiting for the
police judge the prisoners managed to
get into their buggy that was standing
near and started ON q run out of town.
They were little too ''full" to drive
carefully, however, and tipped their
buggy over as they were turning the
corner Of the square. The marshal
went out and brought them back to
trial, when their fines and costs
amounted to $24.
At the last meeting of the city coun-
Gil the Board of Health made quite q
lengthy report a. to the sanitary copdi-
ton Of the city, recommending thor
ough cleaning up of all alleys, stock
yards, barns aud outbuildings. They
recommend that the matter
be attended to before war m weather
sets in, and the Mayor has requested
US to call the attention of property hol-
ders to the recommendations. This
cleaning up is something that
we cannot afford to neglect and It is to
be hoped that it will be promptly at
tended to.
