Arcadia Items.

Ed. Register-The great need of the day is
for industrial schools. Many taxpayers
complain, or ought to complain, that the
public schools gives its pupils an education
insufficient for profession, but more than
enough for the common needs and utilities
of life. The High School graduate, in many
cases feels too exalted in disposition-spring-
ing from a sense of his attainments-to en-
gage In any trade requiring MANUAL toll, and
leaving dust and stains on his fine clothes.
He wants to stand behind counter or teach
Il summer schoolto live somehow by his
wits, without doing much of anything in
particular. Indeed, there are large num-
Der of young men from High Schools hanging
around for something gentcel, too proud to
undertake mechanical labor, aud yet incom.
petent to enter the spheres of n skilled pro-
fessional life. The fault is largely in their
training. There are in all this country,
thousands of boys whose early training does
not fit them for usefulness. They need to be
sent to q school, which, along with reading
and arithmetic, will teach the use of tools
and confer both taste and skill for doing
something that shall benefit the community
as well as prove a source of profit to the
doer. If the State is to educate, let it edu-
cate for usefulness as we'll as for elegance. A
manual training school situated ut Arcadia,
would be a great benefit to this part of
Southeast Missouri, and I would ask our
next Legislators to consider this part of our
neglected education and establish one good
training school in every Congressional Dis
trict. And then our labor trouble will disap.
pear when our American boys learn how to
work with their hands.

Where are His EriendS2

Ed. Regtster-On the 14th of last month
(September) was found by two of Dixon's
Transfers, Ford and Polk, about half way
from my residence to Tip-Top, man lying
in the sun, apparently almost dead-not able
to go either way-by the side of the main
road leading to Hogan, who, after being
moved to shady place Informed them that he
had been there for the last five days without
anything to eat or drink and requested them
to bring him some water. After returning
with their lumber from Hogan mills, Mr..
Ford came to me and made known the con-
dition of the man and said he did not think
he would be alive in the morning and said
he was going to take him some food and
wafer. After considering the case request
ed him 20 take help and bring him in. He
asked Inc where he should take him. l said
to Mrs. Persons or Mrs Broadwel's, as both
were keeping our poor, and Mrs. Persons
being one mile the nearest, we took him
there, where everything was done for his
comfort. Mrs. Person washed his face;
water and food were given him, which he
took with seeming relish. I hired Mr.. Mas
terson to help nurse him that night. He
had, from what the nurse said, congestive
chill. l got tie doctor to see him, but it was
too late, and on the Sd day he died, and had
him buried. From papers found on his per-
son his name was Eugene Muller. German,
L carpenter by trade. Had no grip-sack,
no clothes except what he had on and one
shirt. Nothing but papers found on him
and one small photograph. Seemed to be
about So years of age.
Among his papers is found his declaration
to become Il citizen of the United States, re-
nouncing particularly, Emperor William.
This paper was taken out before the Clerk
of Marion county, Illinois, May 18th, 1855.

Afr. Ed,tor-What is your opinion with
regard to keeping the school children out OF
the school house until the last bell rings.
Now, only last week there was little girl
with her hands blue up above her wrists
with cold, and could not get into the school
house to warm. Now don't you think, that
when the teachers get there, the children
have Just as much right to go into the school
house as they have. l think it is the duty
Of the school directors to look after 1t, as
there are some CHILDREN not as thick1y clad
as Others, and another thing. children cannot
stand the cold the same as grown person
hope when the school board reads this they
will give it their immediate attention as it Is
not RIGHT to let the children suffer with cold.
/ remain yours, A PARENT.

ACT Ill OF 1886 REJECTED

As will be seen by the proceed
ings of the Police Jury, 10 another
column. Act Ill. of 1886, for the
protection of the sheep industry.
aud the destruction of sheep-kill
ing dogs, was tabled. by a large
majority. Nearly all the membe 8
are sheep-raisers, or their consti:u-
ents are. and they recognized the
necessity of wise. Just and effect
i've law for The determination Of
sheep-killing dogs But they We're
opposed to Act Ill, AS being to"
sweeping in Its provisions. and
giving too large a latitude t. I'M
principled and designing persons
For instance, if a man owns enc
sheep, and a dog kills it. lac can
recover from the owner Of tie dog
the price Of ten sheep. deman,! the
killing Of the dog. and subject tire
owner to criminal prosecution for
owning a sheep killing dog. This
wonll be a god send to some in
dividuals, who would buy sheep.
swear that their neighbor's dog
killed it, and recover the price OF
ten sheep; or if IL sheep are killed.
he can recover the price of 100. Al
enterprising citizen, with one or
two "reliable" witnesses.) could
soon make fortune out Of this
law in any parish in tue State
Again. if a $75 dog kills a 81 sheep
the owner must kill the dog, pay
for tsn sheep, and pay a big fine
for owning the dog.
Taken altogether. the law is very
badly framed and decidedly in
practicable, while its object is high
ly commeniable.
1t seems to us that this question
could be settled in more simple
manner. If a neighbours dog kills
your sheep, notify dim. and if be Is
an upright man he will pay the full
damage-and probably being
sheep owner himself, he will dis
pose of the dog, after discovering
his bad habit. And all owner!ess
dogs should b. killed on sight
There is no risk to be run in this
matter. for every man knows his
neighbours dogs, as well as he
knows his horses and cHttls
The object of Act Ill is to rid
the State of worthless and owner
less sheep killing dogs. and THIS
can certainly be done under modi-
fed law, framed with reason and
common sense.
Up to the present time the Act
above referred to has not been ap-
proved by any parish ia the State

with our OLD established rule and
will give our numerous employees
an opportunity to spend Christmas
