for six years, when he turned up in this

days later he re-eillisted, this time in the
Fifteenth Cavalry. Last April or May he
came to me and asked me to help him
get work. He said that he had injured
his right eye about year before, while
driving the army mail wagon at San
Antonio, Tex and that short time
afterward he became blind in that eye
and was discharged on account Of dis
ability. He didn't have very much money
with him, so he took hia meals here with
me and roomed around the corner on
First avenue.

procure work for him, but without sue

OBITUARY.

Died, near midnight on the 4th day Of
December, 1890, in his seventeenth year
Julius Desmond Haven, son of the late
julius Desmond and Ellen Spear Haven.
The disease was that fell destroyer, acute
phthisis Quietly and peacefully the
silver cord was loosened.
Another life has gone out, around
which clustered SO many hopes and for
whose future there was SO much of prom
Use; for although comparatively of but few
years and in the spring-time Of youth, the
leaves Of the bud already opened to view,
gave promise of much fragrance and
beauty and of the unfolding of such men
tai characteristics as would contribute
largely to the pleasure and profit not only
of the possessor, but to all who came
within the radius of his influence.
Born in Kenosha, his childhood was
spent largely in the companionship of his
grandfather whose house was almost con-
tinuously his home and who idolized the
boy, watching over him and anticipating
every desire which the heart could wish
or tongue express. So passed his child
hood until his eleventh year, when his
mother died and the boy became doubly
dear to the aged grand-parent, now rapid
ly approaching the Sere and yellow leaf.
Soon after he entered the preparatory de-
partment of Racine College. where after
spending some three years and his health
becoming delicate, he returned home.
About this time the tie was severed be-
tween the lad and his grandsire, the latter
being gathered to his fathers. After the
death of Mr.. Spear the boy was placed
under the guardianship of Mrs. 0. M. Cal
kins. whose house was his home for the
remainder of his life, or about four years.
The first year of his residence in his
new home was spent largely under the
tutelage of the Rev. E. H. Van Deerlin,
and the two years following at the Uni
versity School in Kenosha. Although
possessing mental qualifications of much
activity and power, he was an enthusiast
tic supporter of all those physical sports
SO attractive and dear to boys, and was
never satisfied unless Excelsior was
blazoned on his triumphant banner in all
friendly contests for supremacy. His
ambition was too much for his physical
capacity. The spirit rather scorned the
body and in the protest of the latter was
evidenced the first indication of the un-
equal combat near the close of the past
summer. Early in October his friends
and family physician began to feel
alarmed over the adverse results of too Sc
we're exercise and an exposure to the acct
dent of an inclement night. Before the
month was ended the disease had made
such threatening progress that change
of climate to the residence of his sister in
Joplin, Mo-, : was deemed expedient
where he was taken with all the care and
comfort that skill and love could afford
But all of no avail. Just one month at
ter his arrival the angel of death served

Report of Teachers Meeting at Brass Ball
December IS, 1890.

AS usual Supt. Middlecamp was on
hand promptly at the time appointed for
opening the meeting, but most of the
teachers were tardy in arriving. The Co.
Supt. called the meeting to order about IL
o'clock and after organization announced
the first business to be Reports of teach
ers. These reports showed very good
attendance with but few cases of tardi-
ness. w. Y. Gull reported an enrolment
Of 30 children and an average daily atten-
dance of 80 This was the highest per
cent. of attendance reported and speaks
we'll for the interest that the patrons of
district No. 4, Salem, take in their school
Some of the teachers complained that dis
trict boards neglected to furnish globes,
maps and other apparatus for their
schools. Supt. Middlecamp said where
there's a will there's way, and teachers
should keep insisting on having these
things until they got them. He cited the
case of a lady teacher who labored with
the board three terms before she got read
ing charts for her school. Miss Sears, of
the Wilmot school, said they used paper
flour sacks to make outline maps for
their school.
Next on the program was an exercise IN
Mathematical Geography, conducted by
Mr.. Gull. Thorough preparation enabled
him 10 make this exercise interesting and
profitable without even a globe to Illus
trate it, Throughout this exercise the
teachers very freely used exec. Supt.
Grant, who was present as Cyclopedia
to furnish the answers to the more diff
cult questions.
The County Supt opened the afternoon
session by making few remarks, after
which he conducted an exercise in u. S.
constitution, taking Amendments for his
subject. The discussion took wide
range and proved to be interesting. He
then conducted short exercise in Read
ing, which closed the program.
Various subjects were discussed and
questions answered during the meeting
outside of the regular business, which can
hardly fail of being of benefit to teachers
when these questions come up in the
school room, as they are sure to at some
time Supt Middlecamp then closed the
meeting by thanking the teachers for
kindly aiding him in his efforts to inn
prove the condition of our district schools
and hoped that they would extend the
same aid to his successor. 1t stands to
Supt Middlecamp's credit that from
beginning that would have discouraged
one less sanguine he persevered until he
made decided success of these meetings
and caused them to become an important
factor in his educational work. The fol-
lowing teachers were present at the meet
ing; Misses Sears, Button, WILDER Grant,
Kerwin, Scofield, Parker, Murphy and
fClark; Messrs. Gull, Burch, Gegan and
