DISTRICT NO. IL.

Boons Creek Seminary. This is one
of the graded schools Of the county. The
building was erected about the year 1850,
or 1851. AS an educational institution 1t
has had Its influence on the surrounding
country. The schools taught here dur
ing the greater part Of its existence have
been of an elevated character. The en-
rollment during the present session has
reached 100. Our call here was late in
the evening, so we saw none of the daily
work but from appearances we regard
the school an interesting one. Our
short visit wasa pleasant one, and the i'm
pressions we received with regard to the
school were favorable. Two visits from
directors, and several from patrons.
School No. 2-The enrolment here is
SO, and the number of classes II. In
this place there Is something wanting on
the part of the directors and patrons.
Something could be done to supply the
wants and promote the comfort Of the
school. Our call was made early In the
morning, We found no fire, and no axe
to prepare wood to make one, and we
confess, after ride of four or five miles,
with the mercury In the neighborhood of
eTo. we were uotiin condition TO looaSS
with favor on the cheerless surroundings.
The young man who Is teaching here can
do good work, and to the extent that he
can under the circumstances, he Is doing
so, but he should have the encourage
ment and help Of the directors, and the
patrons of his school. No visits from
any of them.
School No. 8, Gravel Hill--The enroll
ment here is 80. Number of classes Is. 1t
takes active work to hear all the recita
tions during school hours. The teacher,
however, has experience In school man
sgement, and Is practical In his methods
of teaching. and his work will give good
results. The attendance so far has been
good. Two visits from directors and
three from patrons.
School No. Ain this school there is
an enrolment Of Al scholars, and there
are 18 classes. The teacher has skill and
experience in teaching and Is doing good
work. The building is log structure OF
rather small size to meet the wants Of
the school in the way Of convenience
but the system Of management and meth
DDS Of teaching used by the teacher will
result in much good. The attendance !;
fair. Several visits from directors.
The district has scholastic population
of 416, of which 256 are enrolled II
schools. M. MEAD, County Sup't.

more good, hard common sense than

them better than man. Because she

She Has Won n Medal.

Chicago can boast of as brave o
woman as this country has ever pro-
duced, and one whom Congress should,
when it meets, present with gold
medal. She has the nerve Of Mol
Pitcher, and will never weaken on a
bluff no matter how strong is is made,
Her hame Is Landsdownc;' and the
other night she closed her house to do
some shopping, and on her return dis
covered burglar bnsily engaged in
rifing trunks and drawers. When her
eyes rested OH the burglar she did not
faint, or run to the window and yell
for the police, but she locked herself in
the room with him, coolly removed her
bonnet and then fell upon the aston.
ished thief and knocked him down
and commenced to hurt him. She beat
his head against the floor, dragged him
around the room, and pounded him
until he lost consciousness; then she
clutched him by The cellar and dragged
his limp form humping down the
stairway to the street door, where she
called policeman and surrendered her
senseless prisoner.
Mrs. Landsdowne was not at all
excited, and it is said showed no more
fatigue than if she had been pounding
a beefsteak. The next morning the
burglar was brought into court, and
he looked as If he had been through q
warm personal encounter with a
grizzly bear; and when the keen, nervy
eye of Mrs. Lardsdowne sized him up
he dropped his head and shivered.
The valiant female in giving her
testimony to the court stated that the
prisoner was not the first burglar she
had encountered. On another occasion
she found one concealed in her wood.

if she attempted to give the alarm
she promptly knocked him into the
clutches of the law and a state oi

manner that the range and direction may be
learned at All inStants glance. Four auto

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
A Three Year Old Child Horribly TrampIed
by an Infuriated Mare.


4 Sickening accident occurred west of the
city yesterday afternoon, near Sugar Grove
hill in which a helpless little child was the
victim. Mrs. Mack DriScOl. a well-knOwn
widowed lady, lives near the hill" and sup
ports herself and family by doing sewing
in the city. Yesterday she came in aS usual,
leaving her little children in charge of their
grandmother. Sometime during the after
noon little Willie, a child OF three. escaped
from the house and wandered out
in front where its attention was at
tracted by a mare and a young colt,
belonging To an lriShman living near by.
With natural infantiIp instincts. the child
began To fOndle the young colt by patting it
on the side. In a twInkling the mare had
rushed upon the baby. knocked it down and
began to trample it with her feet. Before
the child could be rescued the hOOfs of the
nfuriated animal had crushed the baby'S
right arm into a bleeding mass of bones and
flesh. Dr. Russell was summoned from the
city, and after an examination decided that
it would be- necessary to amputate the poor
little arm near the elbow. The operation
will be performed H. soon as the child can
stand it,
