Outwittinr the Teacher.

It requires pretty smart school teacher
nowadays to get any the best OF a child
This was never more fully demonstrated
than it was in one Of the Chicago schools,
In some OF the schools the old fashioned
and unnatural method of teaching free arm
writing is employed, and the children are
obliged to twist their.hands unnsturally in
order 70 obtain the FREQ arm movement. In
order to insure this position the teacher
places a snnll shirt button on the back u
each little hand, as piano teachers some
times place pennies on the backs Of their
pupils hands.
This-is done 70 insure the keeping Of the
hand in the correct" position, for il tip
ped in the least tho button slides Of and
thus betrays the erring scholar This but
ton arrangement is quite tiresonle % the
children, and they complain Of 1t at home.
The other afternoon bright little GIL 70
turned from school and said 70 her mother.
Mother, ! kept the button On my hand
nearly all day today" The mother e.
pressed some surprise az such feat.
Yes" said the little one; Il EurDrned IL on
with piece Of my gum. "-Chicago Herald

| The Wichita Light Infantry or in tactic
precision $50. A, Second regiment, K. n.
G. will leave on Thursday evening next
over the Missouri Pacific for Kansas City
to attend the National encampment. In
doing so they accept the invitation of Ad-
| jutant General J. ". Roberts. the com
| mander of the National encampment The
| following will be the roll of the company
at the encampment:
Captain w. Irving Osborne, Lieutenant
A S. Runyan, Lieutenant H. l.. Gordon,
First Sergeant l. H. Hettinger, Second
Sergeant William Steel, commissary, Z. S.
HOughland
Corporals Ed Phillips, Guy Myers, Geo.

r. H. MundirYella; Surgeon, W D. McClees.
1t is not the intention to capture the big
prize or anything of that kind nor in fact
enter for comparative drill for any prize
but to simply join the encampment The
company was organized on the 14th of last
August and could not be expected to have
the audacity to make an effort for prize
in national contest. They have been
drilling once a week and have made
clever showing in marching and the
manuel OF arms. They will be prepared to
keep the line straight and make a res
pectable showing in the encampment,
The company is made upof the best young
men in the city and they have given close
attention to the drill and could certainly
not be eXcelled by any company in the
service only one year.
At present the entire first regiment of
the state is at Kansas City and the second
regiment will have only the one repre-
sentative.
1t was observed in yesterdays Kansas
City papers that there were already forty
eight companies encamped and sixteen
more companies expected to arrive by
Friday morning.

ADJUSTMENTS.
CRAWFORD GRAND.

The California Opera company were
greeted last night with a large house, not
withstanding the extreme warmth of the
weather. Said Pasha" was the bill aud
the opera was presented in splendid style.
The scenery, stage settings and accessories
were the perfection of theatrical. The 10
cation Of the plot gives a favorable oppor-
tunity for the introduction of brilliant
scenic effects, and this fact was taken adj
vantage of by the company which held the
boards last night. The scenes introduced
were marvels of Oriental splendor and
magni6cence. VIII s. Rising, as ''TeranO,"
was cast in a role which suits him to per-
lection. His attractive stage presence and
splendid voice won him fresh laurels with
the audience and he was forced to respond
to frequent encores. Arthur T. Miller as
'Hassen Bey" sustained the reputation
which his Fra Divola" made for him last
night. Miss Bebe Vining as Serena
caught the hearts of the audience by her
charming voice and her graceful catchy
style,

SEWER COMMITTEE AT WORK.

The sewer committee met at the pack
ing houses yesterday morning and spent
some time investigating the Chisholm
creek sewer question. The committee
decided TO recommend to the council that
if the packing houses would come into the
city they would give them the use of the
cisy sewer system and would also give to
the packing houses 50 much annually
TO furnish a certain amount for
flushing purposes. The proposition
seemed to be fair enough to the companies
and it will be considered. On invsstiga-
ton it was learned that the packing houses
are doubtful whether the present council
can enter into such contract in such
way that any future council might not do
away with the agreement or contract.
Arrangements were made with Col.
Lewis TO have the water turned into CHS
holm creek for thirty days TO give time
for the solution Of the question

Its popularity with the travelling men is
a subject Of comment, considering that it
has only been opened little over a year.
Probably no hotel is more carefully con-
Quoted and no management could possibly
feel greater interest in the comfort of
guests. In conclusion it is only just to
add that its popularity is merited.
