An exchange truly says: MANY
persons hesitate about sending personal
notes to a newspaper regarding the
movements of friends, lest the news
paper man should think them too anX-
ious to see their names in print. He
will think nothing of the kind, but on
the contrary he is glad to get such
notes. Many seemingly unimpOrtant
items, when printed, are news to a
large number of readers. One impOr-
tant thing should always be remem-
bered, however, that is, the signature
of the sender should accompany the
item" not for publication, but that
the editor may know that the news is
authentic.

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
j. S. FORD, COUNTY SUPERINT EVIDENT

The Western Scnool Journal is the
best educational paper in the West, and
is growing stronger with every issue.
Every teacher in Kansas shobld read it.
The county superintendent would
like to receive the names and postOffice
addresses of young men and women
who would like to attend the high
school at Chapman next year.
The institute next Saturday at the
Abbey school house, Dist. No. so,
should be we'll attended. The citizens
Of the district will take pleasure in
giving the teachers royal welcome.
The teachers of the north district
have adopted constitution for their
guidance in future meetings. This is
an excellent plan. We are glad to see
the institutes moving in systematic
manner.
The State Teachers association will
be held in Topeka Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday, Dec. 26, q and %.
Railroad rates will be one fare for
round trip. Dickinson county should
have good delegation.
Many of the teachers of the county
will take two days vacation this week
on account of Thanksgiving. 1t must
be remembered that not even Thanks
giving day can be taken by the teacher
with continuation of salary without
the permission of the school board.
A teacher was showing US his list of
periodicals for the coming year. 1t
included the Western School Journal,
N. Y. School Journal, Century, n. A.
Review Current Literature, two weekly
papers, one Republican and one Demo-
cratic, and one daily paper. That
teacher will not progress backward"
The citizens of Ottawa are engaged
in the erection of new building for
the Ottawa University, the estimated
cost of which at its completion is $780,
900. The present productive endow-
ment of the University is $47, 377.
The buildings and property are valued
at $4,000. The total enrolment of
students last year was 2l5.
A teacher, to progress, must read.
No one has so much opportunity to
store his mind with useful knowledge
as the country school teacher and the
young men or women who spend their
evenings and Saturdays in gossiping or
in talking nonsense around the kitchen
stoves are not fit to be teachers. I'm

yourself for higher things.

A Good Entertainment.

The Markees have at the request of
re G. A. R. boys and others decided
give benefit performance next Fri
day night in the Bonebrake. Hawkins
orchestra has generously donated its
services for the occasion and a number
of prominent workers are doing their
best to get the affair well under way.
The Markees are famous throughout
Kansas and have given Abileneites a
great deal of enjoyment during the past
season. Let everybody turn out and
give them such an audience next Fri
day night as the opera house has not
seen in years. Their entertainment is
very fine and well worth attending.

best school men of the county, and
never fails to respond when called
upon at an institute.
Miss Myrta Wick next recited "Our
Heritage"
Mr.. Pbipps next read an essay on
Whittier, and Mr.. Jesse Engle read a
poem, all of which were interesting
and well received.
Mr.. Mcmillan handled the subject of
Map Drawing and Mr.. J. H. Engle
that of Pedagogy in a very interesting
and instructive manner.
There were a great mrny teachers
present and all were highly pleased with
the way in which they were entertained
by the people of the district.
California has a school fund of 81,
100000 permanently invested, and
besides, levies property tax for school
purposes. The average salary of male
teachers in the State is SS0.75, and of
females, S64.12. Ten per cent. of the
State fund received by district is for
library purposes. Teachers are COM
PEELED to attend Institutes from three
to five days, but without loss of salary.
Ten years successful service gives the
teacher life diploma or certificate.
The smallest districts in the State
receive not less than $500 of State
money. Female teachers receive the
same pay as male teachers if they hold
the same grade certificate; and the
law makes it a misdemeanor for the
parent or guardian to abuse, insult or
Jaw" the teacher in the presence of
the pupils.
While the effort is being made to Sc
cure better work in the schools would
it not naturally assist in this to
make the school room and ground more
attractive? The walls might be whit
ened, the woodwork reprinted, the
floors and windows cleaned, the stove
polished, and blackboard reslated with
a very little cost to the district; and ]
hope that each teacher will visit the
school house where he expects to teach
before signing a contract, and will
make it a point to see that the contract
includes the above work to be done be-
fore school opens. Then 1 would sug.
gest that an ornamentation day be
taken, and 1 think the teacher will find
tie pupils ready to assist in securing
pictures, notices, winter bouquets. dec

Here is another swindle which sharp
ers are working on farmers: A
stranger calls to sell tanning mill.
During his conversation and walk
about the farm with the farmer he is
sure to see horse that just suits him,
aud offers to pay small sum to secure
the bargain. If accepted he asks for a
receipt for the money deposited, stating
that he will go to the bank and return
in day or two for the animal. Such
receipt turns up later in the bank as a
note against the farmer.

ANOTHER RAILROAD CRASH.
This Time, Likewise, in Pennsylvania
The Fatalities.

CHAMBERsBURG, Pa, October 1S.-A
fatal wreck occurred on thes sChambersburg
Valley railroad, near Shippensburg, this
morning.
Trains No. IA and 9 collided at a sharp
curve in the road, telescoping the cars and
completely pemolishing the engines. The
officials of the road here are very reticent
in the matter and reuse to state anything
of the causes. From train men the follow
ing particulars were learned:
Both trains were late, and the conductor
of No. 8, coming south, received orders at
Newville to run to Shippensburg and pass
No. IA. The conductor OF No. IA says he
received orders at Shippensburg to run to
the thirty -fve.mile siding between Shippens
berg and MELVILLE and there meet and pass
No. 9. Acting on these orders he left Ship
pensburg and within three miles met the
incoming train. The engineer OF Il saw the
smoke OF the other train around the curve
and shut off steam and applied the air
brakes, but before he could stop his train,
both engines came together with crash.
The engines interlocked, the boiler OF one
being driven over five feet into the other.
The express cars on both trains were driven
back and completely telescoped the baggage
cars.
Baggagemaster Charles Bitner, OF Harris
burg, was caught between the cars and so
horribly mangled that he died in a short
time after being cut out OF the wreck.
Conductors Linn and Bowman are both
seriously injured, and many OF the passen
gers received injuries, though not serious.
The mail cars caught fire and considerable
mail was destroyed.

made a break for Orlofski. and the police
had a lively time to keep them off. When

Dangerously Wounds a Bystsnder.
Los ANGELES. October 1s.-A well-known
gambler named Frank Woolstead, alias
Pete Olstead, shot himself twice, with
suicidal intent, in a pawnbroker's shop.
He asked for a revolver, and as soon as he
got it placed the muzzle to his abdomen
and fred. The bullet passed through him
and struck man named James Gillespie
in the side, the ball ranging round and
lodging in his chest.
Gillespie is watchman at the Southern
Pacific depot, and happened to be in the
shop at the time trying on II coat. His
wound is very dangerous. Woolstead fired
a second shot into the floor, third into
the ceiling, and fourth into his own head.
Despite his frightful injuries he is yet alive,
but is not expected to recover. He is about
SO years old. The supposed cause OF his
rash act is despondency. as he recently
