of his beloved in our adopted soil, and
started Monday evening, accompanied
by their two children, for his former
home, Bellevi]le, n Y, where they will
be inferred. Mr.. and Mrs. Shaver were
among our first settlers. and esteemed

now given to the bereaved husband and
children.
Mrs. John Nickerson is still quite
poorly.
Miss Crossett closed school Monday

plaa, something, which, its expenses be-
ing paid by all classes OF people, was
unfair. He said that there was to be
found no copy Of Voltaire's or Thomas
Paine's works IN the library, and that
prohibition literature was to be had IN
abundance, to the exclusion Of the anti
prohibition. He made neat quotation
from Paine's famous sentiment, ''To do
good is my religion, etc., and closed his
speech with some we'll rounded senten-
ces and original sentiments.
Alderman Hewitt averred that Alley
desired to place the Police Gazette, the

readers at the public library. and pointed
his remarks with the statement that

refuse silver dollar because the words
''Iu God We Trust" were upon it.. The
tilt was greatly enjoyed by the aldermen
and spectators.

spirit of covetousness, or an inordlnate
desire for this worlds goods, could
prompt any one to resort to such unscrip.
tural means of obtaining money. One
thing is very evident, that is, such men
have not lost their love of the world, nor
their appetite for filthy lucre. And
when we see professors of religion engag.
ing in such soul destroying and God dis
honoring practices, We are very forcibly
reminded of the proverb quoted by Peter,
"The dog is returned to bis own vomit
again, end the SOW that was washed to
her wallowing in the mire"-2 Pet. 2:22.
Bat there is another very prominent
case which I would not fail to notice,
that is the case of church fairs, bazaars
and various other entertainments given
by our churches throughout the whole OF
christendom, for the purpose of raising
funds to repair churches, buy new carpets,
church organs, ETC., aud in some places,
ne are told, that even the PASTORS salary,
the cause of missions, and various other
objects come in to claim their pro rata
share of the money thus raised. Here,
again, the very same principle is mani.
fest, that of obtaining something for
nothing. In their zeal and eagerness to
do the Lords work they violate the
plain teaching of his word. For, says
Paul, "I bear them record that they have
zeal for God, but not according to
knowledge. Rom. 1922. An Editor
of one Of our most popular religious
journals said to us the other day, while
in conversation upon this subject, he
could not see any harm in a church fair
or supper, nor did he believe. there was
any moral principle involved in offering
or contesting for premiums. We felt
inst like asking that religious instructor
what Christ asked Nicodemus, "Arkthou
master OF Israel and knoweth notslhese
things ?" T. q. GARRETT.

THE UsE.oF NEWSPAPERS IN THE
SCHOOL ROOM.

It is best to bring the topics of the day
into the school room but once or twice a
week. Some such questions might be
asked concerning an item, for example,
from Albany as, "For what isAlbany
noted~ "Upon what river is it situa.
ted?" "What is this river noted for 7'
aName some other city on the ,river2"
aWhat city is at its mouth pr Items
from Denver, Coll, would give occasion
to. ask questions about mining and sheep
raising; and California towns, q chance
for gold mining and fruit raising; Balti-
more, the oyster trade; Charleston, cot
ion; and New Orleans sugar. 1t is 8
good idea to ask search questions, or
write upon the board dozen or 30 Of
geographical questions and have the
answers brought at the next lesson.-H.

Bold Robbery In Colorado.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Coll, May g.
The most daring robbery in the history Of
the County was perpetrated at Florissant
Monday night about s O'Clock. Frank
Costello, postmaster and store-keeper at
that town, with bis two clerks, was get.
ting ready to close the Office when three
men entered and covered the occupants
with guns, and said they wanted money.
One of the clerks named Putnam began
to parley With the robbers, when he was
severely clubbed. Postmaster Costello,
seeing the robbers had the drop on him,
handed over S400. All the time
the money was being counted the
robbers kept the men covered with
their Winchesters. Putting the mo.
ney in their pockets, the bold in.
truders backed to the doors and escaped,
An alarm was given and party started
in pursuit. The robbers were oYertaken
short distance from town, and fight
ensued, in which one Of the pursuing
party, William Brady, was shot and
probably fatally wounded. The robbers
succeeded in getting away, and reached
the mountains. A deputy sheriff and a
well.armed posse started after them at an
early hour yesterday morning, and over.
hauling them another fight ensued. The
robbers were lodged behind barricade
ofrocks, and after terrible fight of hall
an hour one of the robbers was killed
and another wounded, but the third still
holds out, and until his ammunition is
exhausted there is no prospect of his
surrendering.
Sheriff Jackson and a posse left this
city last night, we'll armed, for Che scene
of the trouble, and it is probable the
desperate villain will be obliged to sur.
render. The attacking party had three
horses killed, but nobody was ahot,
though bullets fell like rain around them,

dered by Chicago Judge. Last Easter
Sunday morning Mrs. Herbert Fitz'

growing from mole in her cheek made
her look like billy.goat, and he would
pull them out. He suited the action to

band over the head with q carpet
sweeper. A policeman arrested him.
When he appeared in court next morn
ing the Justice said: 81 commend your
action. have observed these hairs
growing out Of moles on the ladies' saces,
and I never could understand why they
were preserved. Talisman, or not, l am
in favor of wiping them out, and the

ing them out will be leniently dealt with.

HOW TO CREATE AND MAINTAIN IN
TEREHT.

The giving ofprizes or rewards, and
the publishing Of results Of examinations,
as methods of creating and maintaining
interest in the school room, are wrong.
Good attention is thus gained, but more
for the class honor than for learning. A
teacher cannot interest and at the same
time govern the pupils, unless he inter-
ests and governs himself. The observ.
ance of human nature, and the study Of
psychology in the students, are of great
assistance In making the class room
interesting. Other helps are the vista
tions of parents, frequent rhetoricals, and
allowing the pupils to share the teachers
responsibilities. Teachers should place
themselves on level with the scholars,
to a certain degree, and work with them
on their plane-D. a. Preston, in School
Journal.

make more clear money from such things

make more clear money from such things
than from his cotton crop. The entire
population ofAnniston are consumers and
not producers of food supplies. For
miles around the town the farming lands
have doubled and quadrupled in value in
the last FIVE years. In the suburbs the
lands have advanced fifty times their
former value. The highlands on the
north that are about two miles fror1 the
business center are now worth thousand
dollars per acre, and soon will be occupied
by the wealthiest people Of the city. Then
there is S,uth Admission on the south,
and cornering on the west whose lands
are equally valuable. There is no excite.
ment about these prices, and but little
speculation. The purchasers buy them
to improve them and live upon them.
Isit possible, thought ], that the south,
the long oppressed south, is 30 near her
independence. Will she soon be making
all her own locomotives and steel rails
and cars and water pipes and nails and
tools and wagons and buggies and furni-
ture and cotton goods. Is the time near
at hand when we will buy nothing from
the mighty north except hair pins, and
buttons and button holes, and 6sh.hooks,
and veat buckles, and hooks and eyes, and
chewing gum? Are not the tables
turning? Are we not making our own
glass and bottles, and mar:,ie slabs and
mautles, and slate and fertilizers? Are
not Avary & Sons and Towers g. Hartman
running all the northern plows out Of The
country? Are We not supplying Carnegie
with manganese2 Is mot S. S. S. and
B. B. B. crowding Warner to the wall
No wonder the northern people are
coming down south with their money
Let them come; we want them to come
and help us to pay taxes to the govern
ment-help us to pay pensions to theil
soldiers and a bounty to ours, and see
how it feels. We want them to come
and help solve the negro problem, and
give the lie to northern ISLANDERS. We
invite them to come to Csrtersville and
see some southern outrages. See on,
peaceful, beautiful little city with
not saloon in it and not q jug that il
not empty, or soon will be. Our city

Come and see the grass growing in tht

and see our mioes of iron and manganese

much ochre we are shipping north tt

valleys and CLASSY streams, and orchards

A Cyclone at Work.

CHICAGO, May 8.-A dispatch from
Hutchison, Kansas, says news reached
this city yesterday that the wind storm
that had been raging for the last three
days had eliminated in cyclone in the
northern portion of Pratt County, ex.
tending over the eastern portion of Stat.
ford and up into Rice County. The
funnel shaped cloud formed between
five and eight o'clock. 1t could be seen
for miles. The district over which it
passed was sparsely settled and but for
this fact the loss of life and property
would have been terrible. The cyclone
first struck at a point about five miles
southeast of Stafford and for miles in q
northeasterly direction left nothing but a
barren waste strewn with wrecks Of hous.
es and barns. trees and fences, with here
and there bodies of stock either killed OF
crippled by the wind. The only person
killed outright was William Crawford,
whose neck was broken by the flying
timberu of his house, which was totally
demolished. Eight or nine persons were
badly injured. About twenty-five or
thirty.fve more were more or less injur.
ed.
A. F. Guinap's house was totally de-.
stroyed and himself and family badly
injured. His wife and young baby were
carried distance ola hundred feet and
the child's thigh is broken. Joseph
Giles house was totally destroyed and its
contents scattered in every direction. A
house belonging to Mrs. Lindley and
occupied by herself and two step children,
Maud and William Blue, was blown to
atoms. Mrs. Lindley was seriously in.
;jured and is NOT expected to recover.
Joseph Sellers fine two'story. house VAS
torn to pieces and 80 scattered that not q
splinter remained on the former. site.
Another large house not yet occupied was
demolished. A large number of horses
and cattle we're killed and crippled.
Physicians were summoned and the peo.
pie of the whole country turned out to
render every assistance possible. Many
other buildings were more or less damag-
ed and where the cyclone crossed the
Santa Fts Railroad, between Sterling and
Alden, telegraph poles we're leveled to the
earth and other damage was done. There
were no fatalities in that district. sAs
soon as thenews the cyclone reached
Stafford a mass meeting was held and
committees were organized to carry
on the work ofrelieVing distress in sys-
tematic manner. More than q hundred
people are left homeless and without food
or clothing. Reports from other towns
throughout the southwestern part Of the
State indicate heavy winds for three days
past but nothing in the nature of such q
tornado as visited Stafford County.
