the cause were met by the murderer,
who. with the bloody knife in his
hand. prevented them from entering.
The police were notified and two
officers went at once to the scene.
Entering the room they saw the body
Of the priest lying near the bed, and

A Republican View OF Shepard.
KANSAS City Journal

The warlike Deacon Shepard, of the
New York Mail and Express, tells
General benjamin Harrison that
"there are 1000 men out of employ
ment in New York by reason OF the
great car strikes, who are just aching
to be sent down to Plummersyille,
Ark, to strike for the green graves Of
their sires, God and their native land.
They are the fellows to prevent anti
protection election frauds Were il
not for Deacon Shepard's high stand,
ing in church circles we should suspect
that he is occasionally drunk when
writing editorials for his paper.

Circular from me state school super
mfendeHl.

In December. 1855, the state uIstfip-
uted for building and repairing school
houses. the sum Of $4,000, IN accord
ance with an act of the Legislature I
approved March eth, 1ss2, and an .
amendment thereto approved March
18th. 1854. Your county received It's
proportiouate share through the Au-
litor's warrant drawn in favor of the
President Of the Board Of supervisors.
The act Of 1882 provides that the
Board Of Supervisors ~shall apply this
nnd TO the building of good school
houses and repairing the same, the
distribution of the money to the Yarl-
Gus districts being left to their disere-
tion.
The object Of this circular is to call
YOUR attention to the fund, and TO sug-
eest a plan of distribution. Being
familiar with the condition OF your
houses and the necessities of your dis
tricts, YOUR suggestions and advice VIII
be of valuable assistance in securing
the most advantageous application OF
the fund. The fund is too small 10
accomplish much good if distributed
equally to the districts. Many districts
already have comfortable and we'll
equipped houses, and the public well
) fare demands that the fund be used to
erect houses and make repairs where
thev are most needed. The fund il
n insufficient, even for this, and must II
: some way, be supplemented to prevent
r its being frittered away IN smai
amounts.
Two plans have occurred to me, b.
either or both of which the fund ma!
be increased:
/. The Supervisors may approprl
J. ate to building sehool-houses any SUI
plus of the common school fund car
ried over at the end of the scholastl
year. Many counties have such SUI
plus. a portion or all of which can B
, added to the "school-house fund
= lately distributed by the State. lhaN
consulted the Attoney-General an
find that it would be legal TO appr
pirate the surplus for this purpose.
2. Another means of supplement
inc this school-house fund is for >
% peryisors to propose to districts nee
ing houses or repairs that the eoun
viii bear part of the expense IL '
:, district will meet the rest. Many q
W tricts can easily raise 800, and in
der to have first-class school-hou
would be willing to do SO, II the cou
ty would appropriate an equal su
while other districts could contrlbt
materials and labor on the same c'
sH ditions. In a few districts, throu
the liberality of progressive patro
good houses have already been bu
though many of these are poo
equipped with furniture, blackboa
:, and other necessary appliances.
- such cases It would be but fair that
county should propose to assist in
o-3m nlshing the houses.
- This plan is upon the principle
Y helping those who help themsel'
and in my Judgment will be TO
\ practicable and eminently advant,
" ous to our common schools, for II
can induce our people to invest I
money in school buildings they WI
once begin to take livelier intere'
the schools.

y That the RECORD devil is wicked little
wretch we have had occasion to know of
late; but that the depth of degradation
has now been reached and that he is a
ull.aedged punster IS evidenced by the
following: He was carrying some corn
fodder out at the RECORD ranch and the
wind blew fragment Of husk down his
throat. After sputtering awhile he did
with it as did Jonah with the whale or
the whale with Jonah--it's been SO long
since we read copy of Shakespeare that
we are not able to positively state. How.
belt, this. is immaterial. The kid soon
after went in the house. "What makes
your voice so husky7' he was asked by
one on the watch for Group, diphthcria,
and other youthful ills. "Swallered d
husk, "was the sententious reply, as he
dived into the cupboard for doughnut
And the possibility that the pun might
have been innoccntly perpctrated alone
saved his life.
