We do not regard almost every editor

are acquainted with are honorable men
whose opinions are not for SALE If the
Pioneer editor had said, Bob Dunn re-
CARDS almost every Republican politician
IN Wadena county as a boodler, he
would have come nearer the truth. Bob
Dunn has attended several conventions
in this state and he has always paid his
own expenses, and there was never anv

UNSURPASSED IN THE WORLD

The vestibuled trains of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul railway, running
between Minneapolis and St. Paul and
Milwaukee and Chicago, are the perfec-
ton of modern railway equipment, and
are unsurpassed in the world. They
consist of elegant day coaches, Pull
mans latest and best sleeping cars and
the finest dining cars in the country.
These trains are lighted by electricity
and heated by steam, and afford to the
traveller every comfort and convenience
to be had at the very best hotels. All
classes of tickets are honored on these
trains and the rates are no higher than
by other lines. 1t is for this reason
that discriminating travellers patronize
this company and insist that their
tickets read over its line, as they natur-
ally want the best service for their
money

Said gentleman high up i'll educa-
tional circles, and one who has peculiar
facilities for observing: There is moth
ing in common between the two ends
Of Stearns county, and in nothing is it
more observable than in the matter OF
your public schools. They are not more
IN harmony than though they were a
thousand miles apart, and there is a
thousand years difference in methods, and
spirit. The sooner Stearns county is di-
vided the better it will be for the western
portion Oft, which is dragging a ter
ribly heavy dead weight"
And yet that is but one, although an
important argument for county divi-
sion.

!, FAUX CENTRE HERALD.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER "a. 1889.

The Sank Centre HERALD wants new
iron bridge built across the Sank river
at that place, to take the place of the
present wooden one. Such bridge is
estimated to cost about $4,000, of
which amount the HERALD says,
"Stearns county will doubtless contrib
ute one-half.7 Whenever a river is
bridged i. should be by a good, sub
stantial bridge, and we have no doubt
but that the showing made in behalf of
a new bridge at Sank Centre is cor
rect one and that it should have the
bridge. But has the HERALD considered
that 20 impose a tax Of $4,000 on the
county for this purpose would be to
swell quite materially it's already very
heavy" revenue expenses. Eh?-JournaE
Press
Its Every heavy revenue expenses"have
been swollen every year for the past de-
cade for fine bridges in eastern Stearns
for the direct and indirect benefit of St.
Cloud, and Sank Centre has been paying
heavy tribute for years to this end.
The current levy provides for $4,000 for
bridges, and while no part of this amount
will ever BE- appropriated for building
bridge in Western Stearn if the Journal
Pres can prevent it, yet the HERALD
submits to the taxpayers of the county
that it is not an unreasonable demand
which IS now made, viz: that Stearns
county make fair appropriation for
bridge over Sank River upon the high
way known as the Sank Centre and
Long Prairie road. There is no occa-
sion for any increased tax levy-all that
Sank Centre asks is that St. Cloud thrust
its fingers into the county treasury a
trife less lightly for few months. 1t
is, to be sure, terrible act of selt-re-
strain that is asked of st. Cloud, ter
rible-and il the county commissioners
are dominated by St. Cloud influence,
Sank Centres old bridge will do duty
some time yet. BIT mean time our peo-
pie will keep up lively bordering, and

PROF. RocHELEAU says that in some
districts officers have refused to permit
teachers to attend the institute. This is
contrary to law. Teachers are bouud to
attend these state institutes, and school
trustees have no authority oyer them
whatever in the matter. Cases of this
kind will doubtless be investigated in
due time.

THE GIGANTIC concentration of rail
road properties, in which both the
Northern Pacific and Manitoba systems
are engaged as two separate corpora
lions, is matter to be contemplated
with interest. if not apprehension. 1t
isintimated that the Northern Pacific
has in view a complete transcontinental
line embracing the Baltimore and Ohio
Paul and the Northern Pacific and
Oregon properties to the Pacific coast.
The Great Northern company as pro-
jected is said to consolidate under one
management, the Manitoba, the North
ern line of steamers on the lakes from
Duluth tu Buffalo, the Eastern Minneso-
ia to St. Paul, the Montana Central
and the Manitoba extended to Seattle.
1t is vaguely reported that the 800"
line will be embraced in this combina-
ton as also the Burlington and North
ern. The exact scope of the Great
Northern has not been officially pub
lished, and there is, accordingly, much of
guess work in the accounts. What the
effect will be of such gigantic aggrega-
lions of capital INVESTED in transporta-
ton remains to be seen, but the HERALD
is of opinion that it will not be detri-
mental to the interests of the northwest;
but on the other hand will tend to make
transportation charges lower than
would be possible over several indie
pendent lines. On the other hand COM
Lined capital in vast enterprisesis selfish,
overbearing and always to be contem-

TEACHERS INsTITUTE.-The institute
opened on Monday afternoon with an
enrolment of twenty flour. Mr.. Rocholl
read a very Encouraging and instructive
paper, on duties and needs of teachers.
Prof. Rocheieau greeted his old friends
and former students in his own brief,
happy manner, after which Mrs. Beede OF
Rockford, was introduced and began an
exercise in primary reading, her espec-
ial object being to teach teachers the ben
eft of thorough preparation. No lesson
however easy is so simple as not to re-
quire study and preparation before reel
tation. Mrs. Beede does not confne her
self to any one particular method, uses
word method as the basis together with
phonic, and little of the old alphabet
cal method.
Prof. Rocheleau gave US a lesson in
arithmetic, which fairly bristled with
new ideas. The definition of unit be-
ing surprise to some. A brief lesson on
physiology followed, many points being
gone over hurriedly, as a number of
teachers were expected to join us who
should receive the benefit of the best
ideas. A few general questions were
brought forward by Prof Rocheleau as
an interlude: "Who knows anything
about the Congress of the three Ameri-
cas-" being one. Only two teachers re-
manned standing.
The afternoon session closed with a
very interesting drill on the musical scale
by Mrs. Beede.
Tuesday morning was made especially
pleasant through the kindness of Prof
Woodley who invited the members OF
the institute to join the school in open
ing exercises.
The lesson in reading was especially in
teresting. One great disadvantage in
primary reading has been the lack of sup.
Elementary matter, Mrs. Beede shows
us that teacher may make her own sup
Elementary reading, by way OF charts,

miliar with your own especial needs, but

by the teacher himself. The arithmetic
lesson this morning touched on the diff
ferent divisions, and brought to light
many Of the old errors in teaching. An
other general question by way of awak-
ening the ideas. What is the boundry
line between North and South Dakota?"
