The deceased was known in that vi
entity as a Woodworking and honest
man. - Otsego 90. Neics.
A special meeting OF John Earl Post.
G. A. R., was held on Tuesday, at

Albert j. Scott, a fireman in the
employ of the Michigan Central rail-
road, and well-known in Crawling, was
killed at Potts & Cranage's switch be-
tween Roscommoh aud West Branch,
last Thursday night. The deceased
was about "a years of age and was a
brother OF the station agent at West
Bay City. The remains were taken 70
Petrolia, Canada, where his parents
reside, for internIent.
DR.. Traver and a companion had q
pleasant night ride a few evenings
since. They were about two hours
from home, and the time passed pleas
antly till about the time they began to
look for the CLEAN of fhe electric lights.
when to their surprise they saw instead,
a light from the window of the house
they had left two hours before. The
team had followed road which made
a complete circle.
We clip the following froin the Bay
City Tribune of last Saturday: 1t was
reported yesterday that the Michigan
Central construction train, In charge
of Conductor Pat Foley, had been de-
rallied near Vanderbilt and several
men killed. This report could not be
substantiated. The truth appears to
be that only one man was injured
His name could not be learned There
were several other rumors of accidents
afoat, but they could not be traced to
reliable sources.
We clip the following from the
Washington correspondence Of the De
t7OH Journal: president Willis, oil
the Michigan Agricultural college, Is
here as representative of TIE recent
convention of agricultural college
presidents to urge congress to make
an appropriation for carrying out the
law of the last congress making all ag.
ricultural colleges experimental sta
tions."
The Washington correspondent oil
the Detroit Free Press, saws that Gen.
j. G. Black, has investigated the
charges made against Il. w. Pierce, Of
his Office, which were mentioned in
last weeks AVALANCHE, and has en-
tirely exonerated him. The charges
were hastily withdrawn and the au
thor left the city to avoid prosecution.
Mr. Black has also promoted Pierce tc
IA more responsible position.

The Mystery Of a Street Car.

CHICAGO, May 2l.-A clever check
raiser has been working among the
tradesmen OF the West Side for the last
week and has caused them no end of
bother. He worked the old game OF
getting check from firm for a small
amount and then raising it 500, but be
was an extraordinary skillful workman
and had great success. He was thin,
clean.shaveu man for awhile, and the
police we're looking out for him. Then
he disappeared, but raised checks con.
tinued to appear. This time the forger
was thin man with red side whiskers.
Yesterday the clean.shaven man called
at a West Madison street store for 8
check for SIS on the Commercial National
Bank. The clerk had heard about him
and asked him to wait a minute. He
ran out and got policeman and one of
the forger's victims, but when they
reached the store the man had gone.
They saw him up the street getting
into street car. The policemen posted
after him in buggy. No one left the
car, but when the policeman got up to it
there was no clean. shaven man in it. A
thin man with red side whiskers was
reading a paper and the rest of the
passengers we're women. The mystery
was too much for him and he gave it up.
The forger hasn't been seen since.

Swept to her Death.

spARTANBURG, May 22.-Yesterday
afternoon about 5 o'clock Mr.. Theron
Earle and his sister, Miss Juliet Earle,
attempted to cross North Tiger River,
near Wexford. The river was much
swollen by the recent heavy rains, but
they we're told that the ford was still
passable. They were driving two spirited
young horses, who, entering the stream
and finding it swimming deep, became
manageable. They were swept down
the stream, overturning the buggy and
precipitating the occupants into the
foaming waters. Mr.. Earle caught hold
of one of the wheels and told his sister to
hold on to him. After this, he remem-
bered no more. The swift current wash.
ed them down the stream into mill
pond some distance below, through this
and over the dam on to the rocky shoals
beneath. The horses finally reached the
shore, having jerked loose from the brok-
en- buggy.
Mr.. Earle was found hanging tena'
ciously to some brush projecting into the
stream. From this position he was res
cued by the miller, who had heard the
screams of alarm and had hurried to the
scene of the accident.
This morning the body Of Miss Earle
was found some two hundred yards below
the shoals. She had terrible bruise on
the head, which shows that she had either
been rendered unconscious before strang.
ulation took place, or else that her head
had struck upon the shoals in going over
the dam.
Miss Earle was the youngest daughter
of the Rev. T. ]. Earle, was Of Gowens-
Vile, Greenville County, and only 10
years of age.

TACT.

SCENE IAN ordinary country school
of average size. The teacher in charge
is man. A visitor in one of the back
seats. Recitation of advanced ari1hme.
tic class. The teacher hears desk
creak. He stops the recitation and sus'
piciously eyes distant corner of the
room where some boys are sitting. Noise
ceases. Recitation proceeds. Noise
heard again. Teacher stops and glares
at the same corner, and finally misses,
out. Somebody is making noise back
there, and I am going to find out who it
is" He then proceeds to question each
boy in the group. Boys deny any knowl-
edge of it. Recitation proceeds. Noise
again. Teacher lays down his book, and
angrily strides back to the corner. Boys
deny again. Visitor gets nervous and
doesn't dare to move for fear the creak-
ing might be located with his desk.
Again the recitation proceeds, and again
does the creaking occur, and again does
the teacher declare that he is going to
"6nd out who is making that noise" but
he doesen't.
At noon recess it is found out that
some big girls seated near the boys were
the guilty parties, and had enjoyed the
annoyance of the teacher very much.
SCENE II. An ordinary country school
of average size and surrounded by aver
sge circumstances. Recitation in Eng
lish grammar is being heard. The
teacher in charge is lady. Teacher
hears some one muttering to himself.
She says nothing, but notices all pupils
whose lips are moving. Settles on two.
Calls one of them by 3 motion of the
hand. Muttering still goes on, not the
right one. Whispers to the one called
up, that she would like pail of fresh
wster for the noon recess. She then
sends part of the class to the board to
diagram sentence, and while the class
are thus employed, CALI up the other
boy by motion of the hsnl. Teacher in
a low tone requests him net to study out
loud. The boy is surprised that ne is
discovered. Perhaps be wa, conscious

many persons enter the school room not
knowing what to do first or what to DO
next. That means failure. If the
teacher controls his school the first day
the pupils will recognize him as the mas
ter. Too often teachers strive for months
to gain what they lost the first morning.
he who succeeds the first day, and keeps
his pupils busy and interested, will have
no trouble with the school during the
winter. The important day of the ses'
sion is the first day. The secret OF teach
ing a successful school is to begin right,
and keep on right. No need to worry
about the end. 1t will always end right.
When you begin wrong it is hard to get
right, and the probability is that the
ending will be no more successful than
the beginning.

plans and suggestions will be given for
organizing a chool.-MornsaI lnder.

"good '' and "hearw from members OF
both assemblies.
Moderator Bullock offered prayer, a

The members ofboth Assemblies crowd
