Our attention has been called to the
numerous bogus books that are adver-
tised and sold on subscription purport-
ing to give the history of Stanley's re-
cent adventures in Africa. None OF
these bogus works are written by Stan
ley. In fact Stanley's genuine book
is not yet written, and no living man in
America knows enough of it's contents
to issue a prospectus. The genuine
Stanley book will be written by Henry
NJ. Stanley himself; will be entitled
I'm Darkest Africa" and will bear on
the title page the imprint of Charles
Scribner's Sons" All else are bogus
and fraudulent, no matter by whom
sold or advertised. Mr.. Herbert Ward,
one of SANKEY'S companions, i'll an OPP
en- card, publicly exposes one of the
worst of these bogus books, entitled,
Heroes of the Dark Continent" by j.
w. Buel. Among other absurdities
this book gives an illustrated and de-
tailed account of rhinoceros hunt on
the Aruimi river, five hundred miles
distant from the rhinoceros country.
We drop this word of caution to our
readers in order that they may not be
the victims of cruel and heartless de-
ception.-Iowa Homestead.

BY the way, was it not a singular

AN INSTITUTE

For the County of Redwood, will be held
Commencing Monday Afternoon, at
2 o'clock, April 21st, 1890.
wish to call the attention of every
teacher in Redwood county to the
above notice. All who are DESTROYS of
rising in their work are expected to be
present the first day and remain
throughout the session. A special
feature of this institute will be the GER
tificates duly signed by the State Sup
erintendent, county superintendent and
the conductor of the institute and
which will be given to those who have
been neither tardy nor absent during
the entire weeks session and who have
shown progress in the work of the in
stitute. District school boards are
hereby requested to urge all teachers
who are employed by. them to attend
this institute. The law makes it the
duty of every teacher to attend an in
stitute of this nature, and his or her
school can be closed for the purpose
of allowing her to attend. District
boards can count the time as we'll
spent. The teacher always returns
with better ideas of school work and
with more encouragement and higher
ideas of education. In a number OF
our older counties, school boards allow
the teacher the full time spent at the
institute, as if she was present and
teaching in the district. And vel
might Redwood county do the same

Consider that many teachers work but

Consider that many teachers work but
seven months during the year and at
low wages, and that during these
months more or less expense is con-
stantly attending the true teacher. 1t
is believed that no district who grants
the institute week to it's teacher loses,
but that it gains. Each year the in
stitute grows in usefulness. The con-
ductors become better acquainted with
the needs of the teachers. All agree
that last year was the best. There is
reason to believe that this coming in
stitute can be made better. The lit
erary exercises this year will be of such
anature as to stimulate patriotism, and
the time set aside for them has been
properly named American Exercises.
Dr. L. B. Sperry, of Carleton college,
who delighted us last year, is promised
for Thursday evening, April 24th, and
will talk on brains and Nerves" He
will also talk during Thursdays day
session. The work of our county still
continues to be elementary and hence
our institute work will be of an ele-
mentary nature, though not entirely.
Pains will be taken to make the in
struction pointed and practical. School
management and the teaching of the
common branches will form leading
part of the instruction.
Redwood county work will be the
basis, of which the conductors will de-
sire aid and cooperation of all teach
ers present 1t is the wish of the coun-
ty superintendent to see every district
in the county represented at this insti-
tute. Yours resp'y,

Teacher Meeting.

The teachers meeting last Saturday
was not 50 largely attended as usual,
owing to stormy weather.
In the absence of both secretary and
president, w. K. Sherwin was elected
president and Miss Ella Hawk secre-
tary pro tenn.
The program heretofore published
was followed. A few teachers respond
ed to the call for patriotic selections,
and Mr.. Race read Walt Whitman's
poem, my Captain"
DR.. Riheldaffer addressed the teach
ers on the subject of patriotism. He
had observed that foreigners loved
that country from which they came,
and never became fully satisfied with
America. But their children may be
taught to love America, if the teacher
uses tact. The speaker had also no
ticed that local attachments in the
older states are much stronger than
they are in the newer West.
Supt. Race followed with all indorse-
ment of DR.. Riheldaffer's statement
and expressed regret that our boys
and girls do not seem to love their
country as they should. He said that
the Declaration of Independence is to
Americans what the Bible is to the
Christian. Mr.. Race called attention
to patriotic magazine, THE Home,
School and Nation" as great help to
teachers in inspiring their pupils with
patriotic sentiments.
Miss Cumming took up the subject
of Literature in our schools. It was,
she said, a teachers duty to aid her
pupils in selecting their reading, to be-
come better acquainted with authors
by biographical study, and to draw
out the meaning of what is read by
skillful questioning. She had found
her library of great use in the study Of
| literature.
Miss Lena Theiring followed. She
too, had found her library of great
service. She thought that a teachers
favorite author is better enjoyed by
the school than any other, as the teach
er is better prepared to talk about that
author.
After short intermission, the COM
mittee submitted the following pro-
gram:

Hall and Lena Theiring.

THE BENNETT LAW.

The Democracy has all almost uner-
ring faculty for getting on the wrong
side of a public question. This has
been demonstrated time and again by
the party overthrow on the slavery
question, whether the war should be
fought out or truce declared, wheth-
er the party should affiliate with the
saloons, and whether the American la
Dor market should be thrown wide op-
en- to foreign competition. The latest
victory won by the Democrats has been
gained by all issue SO extremely shady
that so orthodox a Democratic journal
as the St. Paul Globe is doubtful
whether the party can afford to push
the issue in the coming state election
in Wisconsin. Of course the Gazette
refers to the Bennett law, the opposi-
ton to which in our sister state over
turned former Republican majorities
in many localities. The obnoxious
section of the law, which has aroused
this hostility, is this:
No school shall be regarded as a
school under this act unless there shall
be taught therein as part of the ele-
mentary education of children reading,
writing, arithmetic and United States
history in the English language.
In an address made by Gov. Hoard
at the recent session of the State Teach
ers' Association at Waukesha he said
I know of an instance in Jefferson
county where a young man, twenty-siS
years of age, has lived all his life with

never attended that school and is I'm,

English. He has attended the church
school and can read and write in Ger,

mans ignorance of the language Of
his own country7 Have his parents

into the conspiracy to darken this

Observation-Disclosures.

A meeting for the purpose of con-
sidering the needs of the destitute set
tiers of Kingsbury county, S. D., was
called for last Monday evening, but
owing to stormy weather was postponed
to later date-probably about the
18th, due notice of which will be Civ

bury county, was here the fore part of
the week with satisfactory credentials
signed by the county commissioners
of his county and Governor Mellette.

The country press of Minnesota is
holding up to ridicule the recent deci-
sions of Judges Wilkins and Morrison,
of St. Paul, that all publications in
that city except the dailies and the
Northwestern Chronicle are illegal

sit down on this ridiculous decision,
the next legislature will undoubtedly
be called upon to define what consti-
tutes a newspaper in the eyes of the

The Iowa Legislature defeated the
local option bill last Saturday, by a
close vote 81 to 40. Every Repub-

voted to kill the bill, which action set

more at least. Will our prohibition
friends give the Republican party
credit for this much?

An Anecdote of Sheridan.

While the United States was engaged in
the great Civil war, France and Austria
took advantage of our comparatively help
less condition to attempt the conquest Of
Mexico, with view to construct new en-
pire there under Macmillan. Gen. Grant
was strongly opposed to this policy, and
after Appomattox sent Sheridan with an
army to the lower Rio Grande to observe
the movements of the foreigners, and to be
In readiness to intervene whenever con-
gress gave permission.
An orderly woke the colonel soon after
daylight one morning and urged him to 90
down to the bank of the river, as some
thing remarkable was going on there.
The colonel did so, and had the gratifca-
ton of seeing a combat-it could hardly he
called battle - between the national
troops, the adherents of Juarez, and the
Mexicans who were serving under the ban
ner of Macmillan and who were in possess
sion of Matamoras. The object of the
Juarez troops was, of course to drive the
enemy from Matamoras and hold the
place, as, owing to its proximity to the
United States forces, it was very import
ant point Each side seemed to be fortified,
and was engaged in contest at long
range, which was neither very exciting
nor destructive.
The next morning the orderly came again
to wake the colonel, and assured him that
he would see some genuine fighting. The
colonel hurried down to the bank, and
there he saw the Juarez men leave their
intrenchments, advance with the utmost
intrepidity, storm the works at Matamoras,
and drive the adherents of Maximilian
through the town and far beyond out into
the open country. OF course Sheridan
could not send IA force to the other side of
the river without the authority of congress
and the war department. That would have
been an unheard of proceeding. What he
did do was to give one of his brigades a
leave of absence and that settled the ques-
ton so far as Matamoras was concerned.-

grass begin to grow upon them.
Still later the messy Hudsonia or some

come so thickly covered with vegetation
that under the protection of the seaward

John McWade, the baritone of the said
Pasha" company, has but one arm. He
used to wear a false arm, attached by
straps and this he first wore when he trav-
eled through the northwest in comic opera,
under the management of Will Davis, OF
the Haymarket One morning the COM
pany arrived at Il small town where they
were to sing that night. Their arrival had
been noised abroad, and there was large
crowd assembled on the station platform
to see the troopers" AS the train pulled
into the station John was on the rear plat
form of one of the cars.
He jumped off before the train came to a
standstill, and the bent fingers of his false
arm caught on the car rail. The straps
snapped at the shoulder, and the arm
slipped out of the coat sleeve and fell to the
platform. Jessie Bartlett-Davis, the con-
tralto, who was just behind John, jumped
off, secured the lost arm and slipped it un-
der her coat Then she took Johns good
right arm and walked off with him, leav
ing the crowd of curious country people
staring after them in amazement. That
evening they packed the opera house to
hear a man who could lose an arm without
finching and woman who could pick up
the lost member without fainting-Chi
