Mining Decision,

". D. Harlan, land and mining attor-
ney, Washington, D. c., has furnished us
the following synopsis of the decision of
the honorable secretary of the interior in
the case of Bright, ct al, VS.. Elkhorn Min
ing Company:
A protestant against the mineral patent
who stands solely in the relation of
Anxious Curial, and who alleges no inter-
est in the result of the application for
patent, is not entitled to the right of
appeal.
A mineral claimant cannot ask the de-
partment to say that that protestant
who alleges an adverse interest is barred
by failure to properly adverse within the
limited time, unless he establishes the
facts which cause such time to
begin to run. Such q protestant, there
fore, has q right to show that proper
action was not taken to bring him within
the statutory period OF limitation. and to
that extent only he is entitled to the right
OF appeal.

KILLED BY CARS.
A Heartrending Accident at GRAIN
field.

Special to the Western Kansas World.
GRA1NF1ELD, KAN, April ], 1889.
Az the east bound passenger tram
204-arrived on time-6 o'clock P. NJ
between the west switch and the depo at
this place, it ran over and killed little
George Ure, fifth and infant son OF Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. Ore, aged 2 years and Z
days.
The Ure family live about 200 feet
north of the railroad track, almost oppo-
site the point mentioned; and the child,
in playing about, had crossed the north
sidetrack, crawled through the ditch, up
on to the main track, and after crossing
the first rail, rose up to walk, when IN
stantly the cowcatcher struck and knock
ed it down, and the wheels crushed off it's
left arm and the upper halt of its skull.
Death was instantaneous.
The parents are in great grief. They
are very poor, but by hard work, have
always made living for themselves and
their little boys
The child's brains were scattered along
the north rail and over the ties some fifty
or sixty feet. Everybody was horror
stricken. Whole families went to bed
suppsrless, and spent sleepless night.
On Tuesday the populace formed in SOL
emn procession, and buried the remains
in the cemetery; and the village mourns.

TEACHERS MEETING.
Secretary Peacock's Report of the
Proceedings.

The Trego County Teachers Associa-
ton met at the Wa-Keeney school build.
ing last Saturday. The following teach.
ers were present: Misses Viola and Jessie
Welch, Lizzie Cooper, Mary Fitzpatrick,
Lizzie Mumert, Mrs. Hunt, Mrs. Milligan,
Messrs G.. A. Wilson, 81. Harlan, B. F.
Campbell and A. E. McCollum; also Su-
perintendent Baker, 81. N. Rogers and
others.
The meeting was opened by singing,
Superintendent Baker presiding.
Prof G. A. Wilson presented synop-
sis of Kansas history prior to its admis-
sion as state. His paper was supple
mented by remarks by Rev. Rogers.
drawing in the Schools" was the SUBJ
ject of papers by II. Harlan and Mrs.
Hunt. The readers illustrated its value
in practical life and as factor in educa-
tional art
A discussion relative to the adoption of
a course of study and grading of schools
was led by B. F. Campbell. Most of the
teachers favored the adoption of uni
form course of study throughout the
county, to be completed by an examina-
ton and granting of diplomas to deserv-
ing pupils.
"How to gain Control of the School,
was the query answered by H. N. Rogers.
The burden of his remarks was. "Teach-
ers, first control yourselves"
Tobacco on the School Grounds" was
the subject of discussion led by A. E.
McCollum. Most of the teachers seemed
to have had no trouble in that line. Some
advised positive prohibition, while some
favored milder measures. It was ques-
ton of policy, and not of authority.
The question of text books prices was
next brought up. and a motion adopted
requesting the county text books board
to inquire into the matter, and take such
action as may be necessary to keep the
text books adopted by said board on sale
