In the Western School journal for
July we see 1t noted that the supreme
court of Missouri recently decided that
scholars of pablo school are subject to
their teachers rules on the way to and
from school. a teacher had a standing
rule against the use OF profane language
and against quarreliDg and fighting
among the scholars, at the school house
and on the way home; a pupil was pun
ished by the teacher for violation of the
rule, and the court held the teacher
blameless on the grounu, aHong
others, that the conduct of the
scholars on the way home
would have influence in the school room
where the teachers right to rule is IN
questioned. The court, in passing upon
the case said the effects of the scholars
using to and with each other obscene
and profane language. quarrelIn & ard
fighting among themselves on the way
TO their homes, would necessarily be fell
in the school room, engender hostile
feelings between scholars, arraying one
against the other, and destroying tina
harmony and good will which should
always exist among scholars who arr
daily brought in contact with each Othel
| in the school room.

bribery and Corruption checked.

Ell PAso, Trxas., July 14.-Investigs-
tions of the alleged corruption in NUM-
cipal affairs here have been brought to a
sudden climax. Britton & Long were
awarded contract IN August last for the
court house and Jail and Alfred Giles

pleted in March last and the court house
is under construction. Three local
architects recently preferred charges that
the plans and specifications had been
altered SO as 10 save the contractors $780,
coo on the contract. Brown produced
blue print from the plans he and
Architect Kranse made in June of last
year. Comparison showed q difference
in words, figures and scales from the
present plans. 1t IS now known that on
Sunday an offer OF bride was made to
the attorneys representing the county
for Browns blue prints and their with
drawal from the case. Subsequently an
agent of the defendants went TO the
house of the attorney to pay
over the money. The attorney had the
sheriff and another man hidden behind
curtains as witnesses The agent paid
81, 900 in cash, in 500 bile, $500 IN a
check signed BrittOn 81 Long aud agreed
to pay So 1000 more in bonds. The at
torney turned the blue prints over, where
upon the witnesses came forth and de-
manded and took the prints. The com
missioners have removed Giles as arch
itect and Britton s. Long as contractors
Work on the court house has been stop
ped and guard placed IN the building
to protect II. Giles and Long have
been arrested on the charge
of perjury and placed in
the jail they had just built. The ex-
posure has caused a Juror In the city,

GRIT.

Some call il luck, dear brother Jim,
Some term 1t common sense;
While others still. with equal vim,
Pronounce IL ProYfdence.
But believe, in spite Of all,
Fate, Providence, or wit,
Bull headed luck or brazen gall,
It's proper name is grit"
IT'S well for those, dear brother Jim,
With time and cash to spare
To lift their hearts and hands to Him
In everlasting prayer
But PRAYER alone won't win the light,
IN spite Of holy writ;
IT'S acts that tell. or wrong or right,
And actions call for 'grft -
I've seen in trial tests OF speed
The horse e. at balks or breaks;
Although he sometimes takes the lead,
He never takes the stakes.
While "sure-and-steady 0n-the-stIide,"
Though slower on the bit,
Is often on the winning side
Because he's got the "grit-"
I've seen some fellows in my time,
Good noble men and strong,
With hearts less human than divine,
Who couldn't get along.
No matter where you placed them, Jim,
They didn't seem TO tit;
They couldn't win or sink or swim;
They didn't have the grit"
Amid the countless ills Of life,
Its pleasures and its woes,
The strongest factors in the strife
Are steady licks and bloRS;
And though we may not always win
We never will submit,
But still wade in, dear brosher Jim,
And die Ike men OF grit.

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, July 13.-The
first evidence of the disaster from tie
storm yesterday at Lake Minnetonka was
found IN the pieces of the trimming from
the yacht, Minnie Cook, which fioated
in on the waves at the east shore of Wa
WAtta bay. Large, sturdy boats went in
search Of the ill-Iated little craft but nc
further trace of her could be had. Il
was last determined that she was sunk

had recovered sufficiently from his

Cook just before the squaIl struck the
bay. He thought the party had Observ-
ed the danger aud was quite sure Engi-

He Is sure the shrek he heard was that
of Mrs Rand and that the Minnie
Cook at that moment capsized. Forum
ately he fell into the bottom of his yawl
and there chung until the
squall had passed. The following
is list of the passengers on the yacht.

Mrs. Rand and Engineer Mcdonald were
recovered and brought to Minneapolis
by special train. Although the storm
was of brief duration, it is impossible to
tell whether the actual extent of the loss
of life and property has been fully ascer
tanned or not.

what Congressman PERKINS Says.

WASHINGTON. July 15.-In an inter
view to-day Representative Perkins of
Kansas, whose congressional district
borders on tue Indian Territory, ex-
pressed doubt as to any permanent settle
ment of the Indian troubles unless the
government takes in charge the leaders.
He said that General Sheridan may
attempted 10 s,ttle the difficulty by ex-
acting promises from the Indians that
they will act differently il the future,
but when he gets away they will
forget their agreement. The Che
yennes have been troublesome
for years. Not a single agent has been
able TO do anything with them No one
seems able to find out the exact cause OF
their trouble. The Indians are
asking TOR more land and
complaining because they do
not get it. About six Indians
who are leaders on the reservation cause
all the t-uuble. They are dissatisfied
with everything and influence the tribes
to deeds OF violence. If they
were dealt with by the government
and made TO feel the elfcc. of little cold
steel In their systems, II necessary, future
difficulties with the Cheyennes might be
avoided
