Even Without Jar6ine.

Kansas City Times
st. Louis is now distracted and torn
up by two scandals, the high school
scandal and the police board scandal.
Inasmuch as the former involves GER
tain risky representatives of the gen.
tie sex it has been conceded the palm.
No scandal is considered frst-class in
St. Louis unless women are associated
With it. And it is simple justice to
st. Louis, to state that women are
usually SO associated.

The Case in q Nutshell.

Nevada Democrat
The opposition to The reelection of
Frank Nj. Cockrell to the United States
senate, originated ia the columns of
the ST Joseph Gazette. The Gazette
is owned by Colonel James N. BURNS,
the member of congress from that dis
trict, who is brainy man, an amhi-
tious man, and a man who wants to &C.
cupy the position now held by our
senior senator. Following The leader
ship OF the Gazette are about dczeB
country newspapers. whose editors and
proprietors have, in all probability,
been disappointed. and think it proper
to say something about the brilliant
fight now being made by the Gazette.
They do not seem to stop and consider
the deep. laid plot of the proprietor of
the Gazette, and the object he has in
contesting Senator Cockrell's right to
enter the race for the Endorsement of
his past services. There is method
in Burne's madness. and his soul aim
is tn stir up luminosity against COckrell
throughout the state. so that he may
be enabled to represent this great state
in the senate. That-aDd that alone
lis the animus of the opposition, but
it is so palpably plain, and so gauzy,
that the people do not take to it so
readily as the schemer of the north
west anticipated. The people are sat-
is6ed with Mr.. CoekrelPs record, with
his work, with his honesty, and with
bis pure, true and unquestioned de-
mOcracy, and they are determined to
return him again to the position that
he has so faithfully and hOnorably held
for the past twelve years.

The Nanticoke Disaster.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, December 24.-Ibe
situation at Nanticoke remains unchanged.
AS far as can be learned the black damp
has been cleared from the slope near where
it is supposed the men are imprisoned.
The rescuing party did no work in No. /
slope to day and Superintendent Morgan
will not ask them TO again face the danger
there. The only efforts now being made
are IN the clearing of the main slope,
which is solidly packed with sand and
rock. This debris cannot be removed very
quickly. As soon as the mining engineers
meet and devise some new plan for reach
ing the imprisoned men The mine company
will begin 10 prosecute the search.

Among the Schools.

The exercises at the various schools were
of q very similar character and consisted
of readings, recitstIops, music and draw
ngs. There being very little deviation
from this In any OF the lengthy and excel
lent programmes rendered, hence any at
tempt to enumerate or personaliZe would
be both too lengthy and tedious for these
columns. Suffice it to say the scholars 10
ell the schools without exception displayed
a proficiency and progress in their studies
and culture which gives promise OF most
excellent results when they shall be called
TO the practical walks of life, and which al
the same time speaks louder than words of
the painstaking care and careful ditcipline
of Sedali4's most excellent corps OF teach
eri. At Franklin school some handsome
decorating was done in the rooms and the
notices were very beautiful. At the other
schools there was but little done in the
way OF decorative display, but the happy
faces and excellent exercises of the chill
dren made amends for all lack in this di.
rection.
