acter of Recitations.n 1.-THE Recess Problem, y
"Optional Studies in the High-school," manual
Training in the Public Schools s'Examina-
tions,n Modes of Punishment Study Out of
School Hours.n
Much Of the discussion partook of the nature
of personal experience in the school-room.
Friday forenoon was spent In visiting the
Sidney public schools These visits were appre-
ciated by all, and much was seen to praise and
little to condemn. The weakest point noted was
the lack of strong teachers in the primary de-
partments.
On Friday evening DIR. Hailman delivered
lecture in the High-school hall on 'The Sense
and Nonsense of the New Education" to large
and appreciative audience. After the lecture
the superintendents were invited to Bunnell's
Hall, where the lady teachers and wives Of the
members Of the school board had pre-
pared q magnificent banquet, of which
all partook with relish. After-dinner speeches
were made by Superintendents Klumm,
Study, Hailman, Deuel. and Grouse. Superintend-
ent Z. H. Butler acting as POSTMASTER. Colonel
Wilson, of the Sidney school board, delivered an
appropriate address of welcome, which was re-
snonded to by DR.. Hailman president Of the
convention. The display of the work of the pu-
pills of the Sidney schools at BunnelTs Hall was
fine and very extensive. 1t is not only credita
BILE to teachers and pupils. but very praiseworthy

CHICAGO, April 12-The Methodist ministers

man, of st. Louis. He declared that the reck-
lessness of the strikers in East st. Louis and
across the bridge was caused in large part by
the carelessness of the railway companies regard
ing the moral welfare of their employees. Some
time he expected to wake up in the morning and
hear that Chicago was on fire in six or seven
places There was no such conflict between
labor and capital as bad been intimated Agi-
tators were not considering the fact that the
price of labor had been steadily increasing for
the last fifty years, while for the same time the
income of capital been decreasing "And I
don't want to be taken as defending Jay Gould, !"
said the Bishop; II wotld like to see some one

thought that if the masses could he brought to
realize that there wasn't any conflict, the eight
hour question would adjust itself.

now discerned that there has been great fur

known that the military reserves in the Odessa

actions are simply precautions to insure the
safety of the Czar during his stay la Lividia the
Russian papers are allowed to call attention to
the fact that the late Czar was in Liyidia when
the Turkish war was determined upon, and to
publish the reasons for an immediate Russian

| Special 20 the Gazette
SHERMAN, TEX, June 24.-Mr. Finney,
prominent farmer Of this county, told a
GAZETTE man story, in which cat is
the central figure, that might well be set
down for Joe Mulhatton yarn were II
not for the high character that the mar.
rator bears for adherence to the truth.
He says that among the most priced
posse ssions Of his family is a
magnificent specimen Of the feline tribe
of the Thomas gender, mammoth
Maltese, whose handsome form and
winning ways had made him dear TO every
member OF the household. The other
day Tom was missing. AS he frequently
took little excursions into the surround
ing woods presumably for predatory
purposes, very little attention was paid AZ
first to his absence. But as time wore on
and still he failed 10 appear some anxiety
was felt A couple of days went by
and no Tom showed up; another and
another day passed, and though the
country for mile around was searched
no traces OF him could be found. He was
MISE on Tuesday. On the following
Monday, as Mr. Finney was riding around
his pasture fence, he heard low, moan
ing sound, and looking up saw the miss
ing cat Poor Toni He was IN
terrible flx, He was hang
ing, suspended 10 the air be-
tween the middle and lower strings of
a barbed-wire fence. In trying 10 jump
through, one of the sharp points had
caught him IN the back and held him.
There he had writhed and twisted for
seven long days without being able to ex
tricate himself from the cruel barb His
master lost no time in getting Tom free
from his uncomfortable plight. When
first released he was too weak TO
stand, but gradually recovered,
and is now as frollcsome
as OF yore. II Is safe TO say that when he
strays off In future from the Flnney
hearth-stone he will give balbed.wire
fences wide berth.
