Speeches and Music in Abundance.
At an early hour last Saturday
teachers from the surrounding districts
began to gather into Chapman, and at
half past one O'Clock the auditorium of
the high schoolIbuilding. with seating
capacity of about three hundred, was
filled. After music and a prayer by
the Rev. Smith, of the Congregational
church of Chapman, Mr.. j. Fl. Engle
in his usual happy manner gave short
and appropriate address of welcome to
which Supt. A. V. Jewett responded.
complimenting Mr.. Engle and Chap
man highly.
Miss Rena Jennings, of Chapman,
gave recitation which was well re-
ceived by the audience.
Prof. Cook read an excellent paper
on the Relation of the County High
School to the District Schools" He
thought the high school would be an
incentive to better work in the district
schools. Supt. Mallory, of Junction
City, thought the high school would fill
long-felt want in our educational
system. Supt. Jewett believed it would
be means of giving the county better
teachers and therefore elevating The
teachers profession,
Mr.. Jas. McMillen read short but
interesting paper on Methods in
Arithmetic"
Prof. Macdonald presented most ex-
cellent paper on ''Means of Growth"
The paper was full of good thoughts
and, of course, like the author full of
wit He spoke of the very short time
in which persons are engaged in school
work. Thought instead of speaking of
the teachers profession we might more
properly speak of the teachers process
sion. He dwelt upon the teachers
reading aud said that it should not be
desultOry but methodical. He should
have course of reading and stick to
it. When a book is read at all it
should be read from preface to fms.
Of the making of books there is no end.
A person cannot hope to read very
many but he should make himself mas
ter of what he does read.
Misses Reed, Cogan and Sandborne
and Messrs. Lands, each gave good
paper on the subjects assigned them.
Supt. Harkins talked briefly on the
Central State Association and invited
the teachers of Dickinson county to at
tend the same.
D. A. Holmes then gave the critics
report after which the report of the
committee on evening program was
made and an adjournment taken until
Z o'clock.
In the evening the house was called
to order and the exercises of the even
ing began. Space forbids extended
notice of the exercises. Prof. Mac
Donald gave an informal talk which
was practical throughout. He thought
the Bible was the book of books. The
teacher should recognize it as being
high above all other books and he
should study it daily. His talk was
like his paper full of good sound
thought and wit.
Prof. Mallory recited 'Horatio at the
Bridge"
Messrs. SwiSher and Wagner took
the affirmative and Shell and Hum
barger the negative of the question,
Resolved, That the phonetic system of
spelling should be universally adopted.
No judges were chosen and the debate
was brief.
The usual resolutions were adopted
and the days pleasant and profitable
exercises were over.

The celebrated Stoneking- Wardell
case came to sudden and unexpected
end Monday, it resulting in the
marriage of the chief actors in the pa
thetic drama that has been acted before
the court room audiences.
1t has been evident all along that the
father CT Miss Wardell was acting the
part of tyrant in refusing to accede
to the desire of the young people to
marry. The girl being under Is they
could not get license without her
parents consent, hence there was no
way of settling the trouble into which
the unnatural father seemed deter
mined to drag them. The girl stood
I'D firmly for her lover during the re-
cent trial, plainly determined that II
he was convicted of rape it should not
be by her testimony. So strongly did
she testify in his favor, though thereby
condemning herself, that the grand
Jury indicted her for perjury, and she
was bound over for trial. Her lover.
as our readers know, was found guilty
and was awaiting a sentence of from
5 to 20 years in the penitentiary.
County Attorney Biting has made a
commendable effort which every think.

His plans were finally rewarded by
securing the consent of the girls

A motion for a new trial was made
for Stoneking, which the court granted

will always be associated with bite

1t is a commendable ending to a sac

WEST VIRGINIA MUNCHAUsENs. "A dis
patch from Wheeling. W. Va. says: Major
J G. Anderson, who travels over West Vir'
ginia e great DEAL and who is one of the
best known men in the country, has Just re-
turned to Wheeling from the southern part
of the State and the scene of the alleged
Lincoln county Brumicld- Mccoy feud, &C
counts of which have appeared in the press
for month past he denies emphatcally
the truth of all the stories that have been
published. He says that the only basis for
the stories is that two whisky dealers got
into trouble with each other, and enterpris-
ing space writers sent out to ell fhe papers
dispatches in which it was stated that 8
bloody feud was raging.
"No more peaceful locality exists in the
United States than the locality referred to-, y
said the Major, "and the publications were
base sanders on 8 law abiding people
These penny liners at Huntington Charles
ton and other points, who are imposing or
the eastern press, ought to be exposed
There are no recent outbreaks in the Hat
field Mccoy war; in fact, it is ended. The
attempt of the correspondents to connect
the Hatfelds with the alleged Lincoln coun-
ty feud was absurd. for the Hatfelds live on
the Kentucky border and are 100 miles from
Lincoln county.
