Educational Review at Great Bend, May 16.
School officers, superintendent and
teachers will compare methods of keep
ing daily registers, class books, grad
ing, instructing, and interesting pupils.
Able educators will be present, and the
meeting will undoubtedly do much
toward perfecting the grading of both
city and county schools. AS all schools
are now graded, all teachers can meet
IN council with common interest. The
day will be spent in actual school work.

the evening. Prof. James II. Garfield.
President of the National Teachers
Association, and one of the best orators
and educators of our country, will
deliver the annual address to the grad
uating class of the Great Bend High
School. This address will be full OF
interest to every Kansan, and espec-
tally to those having charge of the edu-
cational interests of our country. AS

and class books, superintendent and
teachers of central and western Kansas
are requested to copy small part of a
page of each of their different record
books, and also bring such printed
forms, blanks. regulations, SC, as they
may have to place on file in the city or

A Foul Murder.

Chas. Bardwell, farmer living near
Hutchinson and a brother of Silas
Bardwell of Great Bend, was in Hutch
inson last Saturday evening. He got
to drinking and playing cards with a
gang of four tough characters of that
town. 1t seems he won most Of their
money from them, when finally they
jumped upon him and in the most
brutal manner cut his throat and then
mashed his head with their boot heels.
ALI four of the toughs are held for the
murder. Their names are G.. w. Wool
rey, A. G. Smith, John Jairls and G. d.
HObbaek.

Our STATE AHEAD.


OUR STATE AHEAD.
Are you a Kansas man? said n. w.
Shaw, of the Union manufacturing
company of Cincinnati, Ohio, to me
Yesterday on the train. Slightly, said
II. Well, he remarked; you Kansas
people are afflicted with the most fortu-
nate troubles that nature has time to
bestow upon a people. and the roar OF
!! the Kansas lion, which is more often
heard than the foreign brute, might
lead one to believe that there was some
thing wrong in this state were it not
for these evidences (pointing to the
endless acres of maturing crops). Why,
said he, have travelled for seventeen
years from the lakes to the. sea, and l
am not delicate about going on record,
as am an eastern man, that Kansas is
the king imperial in products. She Is
an agricultural possession 80 wonderful
that her people, mostly western raised
and: who do not know the trials OF
other states, do not understand her or
appreciate their good fortune. Ibelieve
they mistake national or general depres-
sion for state or local infection. When,
if they could have the means of making
a comparison between the million and
a half of people in Kansas and the same
number-well, I'll say anywhere that
I've ever travelled or lived, they would
find Kansas people ahead of the world,
and, believe, too, the most home
abused. Their own complaints are
doing them more harm than all out
side reports. am satisfied of this, said
he. because eastern houses are repeat
ing their visits here to more fully sub
stantiate the favorable reports given
them in answer to special inquiries
which is the basis for them for further
operation. see less evidence Of hard
times in Kansas than any place I go,
and the best dressed and fed lot of
people.
Complaining has become a fashion
and it strikes me some of the Kansas
people struck job lot of it and they
don't miss a chance to make a deal.
They turn their goods out without re-
gard to taste, style or fit. l do not

Signs Of the Times.

A scribe, who has visited River
ton, Florence, Sheffield and TINS
enmbia, writing in the Gorinth
Herald, says: "a strong preju-
dice seems to exist between Shelf
field and RivertOn, the issue main
ly being the question of the head
of navigation which is somewhat
limited as to both. The head of
deep water navigation will yet be
found below the Big Bend Shoals
and a new boom may be looked
forts coming in the not very
distant future. The progress of
the times justifies the expectation
that there will be a good town for
every twenty-five miles on one or
both sides of that grand old river,
and whenever railroads and cap
itai' combine to help them, they
will prove success"

What is it that makes women
more smiling and happy looking
than men? We meet them on the
cars, on the streets, in the country
by the seashore, always smiling,
teeth a glisteDing, eyes a dancing.
All! the secret is their aim to
please. 1t is an effort in many in
stances for them to smile, and
were it not for a desire to look
pleasing and pretty many would
"never smile again." Why9 Be-
cause in large majority of in
stances they don't feel like smil-
ing. The feel more like crying.
With their nervous aches, weak
ness and bearing down pains, life
to them is a burden. What a
