The greatest value in any educati

The greatest value in any education
that found ir the common school or
in the lofty college-reposes in that col
or of soul with which it stains those
who drink at its fountain
The true sons of colleges. those who
have faithfully mastered its course as
it has wound along amid the scenes of
science and groves of philosophy, and
| over the poetic mountains, never join
in the worship of money, nor taYor the
dominion OF vice; but ever afterward
they love the works of mind and taste,
and some mental path they will follow
although no gold will sparkle under
foot Prot. stcjng.
Among all the comments about the
School Exposition, its permanent in1u-
ence should not be overlooked. Among
the foremost ideas of its inception and
accomplishment was the hope that it
might interest the community more
generally in our School and stimulate
the pupils to greater diligence. We
believe that the most valuable results
of the undertaking will be found in this
direction; and because of this. much
| better attachments can be reached in the
Lancaster Public School in the future.
The general policy OF the School the
last two years has been largely prepar-
atory. In many respects present con-
ye2ience. achievement aud reputation
have been held subordinate to the at
tainment of those conditions which will
most effectually subserve the education
al interests of Lancaster in the future
In estimating fairly either the EXPOSE
ton or any other phase of school effort
it is necessary to 20 beyond present APP
parent results aud the public verdict
and consider the precedent and subse-
quent conditions, in view of which the
labor Of the teachers has been so large
" directed. Ii is certain that, whoever
the teachers NAV be next year, they will
have much more favorable opportuni-
ty for manifest achievement and o5vi-
Gus progress than the present teachers
have had.

MILLs.-Mr G. Il. Bonus, a former

1--WE found Mr.. Bonus busy superin-
tending a general overhauling of the
mill, in which considerable new and
improved machinery will be substituted
for old, and sixteen rollers added in
place of the old buhrs. This work will
occupy some time and probably will not
be completed before October /, but
when the mill is ready to commence
operations it will be equipped with the
most approved machinery eXtant, and
have capacity of 200 barrels per
twenty-four hours. The big mill has
lain idle too long already, and we are
glad the property has fallen into the
hands of such Il man us Mr. Bonus,
who not only understands the business
in all its minutest details but who has
the executive ability to put the mill in
tirst.claas shape and afterwards carry
ON the business successfully

No VERDICT.-In the trial of w. W.
Likens, formerly of this county, for
forgery at Boulder, Col, of which men
ton was made in The HERALD two
weeks ago, we learn from the Denver
News that the case was given the jury
Monday, about p. m, and did not re-
turn till Thursday morning at $3.50,
having been out two and half DAYS
and three nights. They reported dis
agreement. The jury is said to have
stood ten to two for conviction. Thus
the case goes over till next term for
second trial. The Judge placed the
bond for Likens' appearance at next
term of court at 1900. At this time
he has not yet furnished bonds, but is
hunting for bondsmen. A deep interest
was manifested in the case all through,
as Likens was a prominent church
member and leader in temperance re-
form. However, his reputation has not
been the best and the trial has been
rather against him and brought out ug-
" insinuations and some charges of
bad character in the east, he himself
admitting in the trial that he had been
indicted for forgery once before in Wis
consin His friends, however, have
been sticking close by him and much
sympathy is expressed for his family.
