The Teachers Association.


After vacation of three months our
common schools have again opened
wide their doors and again our teach
ers have hidden their children hearty
welcome. Some thirty teachers met
Supt. Race in the High School room
last Saturday for.the purpose of talk
ing over plans for the school year of
189O-91. Barbara Cumming was chos
en- president by vote of % to for
others who were also nominated. JUL
let Brooks was elected vice-president
and VIM. X. Sherwin was elected Sec
rotary. The association decided to
meet the first Saturday in each month
at 1:3O p. m. All teachers are duly
cautioned to remember this date.
What shall we study during the
school year? Shall it be "The History
of Education or shall it be some Am
erican author? We need to know more
of this system that we are trying to
use. After somewhat protracted
discussion of the merits of education
and literature, literature won the day.
The teachers admitted that as our
books are filed with the writings of
Emerson, Holmes, Bryant, Whittier
and Longfellow, and as this noble
quintetto has done as much towards
shaping the destiny of America during
the past forty years as any five which
can be mentioned, it is our bounden
duty as teachers to know all we can of
their lives.
"For the structure that we raise
Time is with material filled,
Our tO-dayS and yesterdays
Are the blocks with which we build,'
You are to fashion the mind of the
boy and girl who comes to you for in
struction. If you are prepared you
can drop for him shining gems, cut
by the poets hand, if not, you can on
ly say, somewhere they exist.
Pres. Cumming ordered ballot to
be taken upon an author for study
during this winter. The result was as
follows: Longfellow % votes, Bryant
5, Emerson 2, and Whittier 3. TWEEN
ty-five copies of studies in Longfellow
were ordered bought. Fifteen copies
of The Household edition of Longfel-
lows poems were also ordered, quite
a number present being supplied with
copies. If the interest flags not, dur
ing the winter, our teachers will be
letter prepared to teach reading than
heretofore. The round table study
must open up to view the poets vision.
Prof. Race was chosen conductor
for three months. He will have live
ly class of earnest students. He will
need to be prepared to answer the
questions of thoughtful pupils. Our
teachers have been longing for some
thing of this nature. They want to
help the boys and girls of Redwood
county and to do SO, they must also
be elped. 1t is quickening that will
be for good.
The present corps of teachers on the
north side of the county contains but
few new faces this fall. The old
corps will do some good work, if prop
erly encouraged. The village teachers
were present at the meeting, and it is
proper that they should be. They
should be there to encourage and en-
Tighten others who perhaps have not
had such opportunities. To educate
is to diffuse knowledge. Now can you
diffuse, if you do not meet and let go
what is good? Co. SUPT.

Some of our democratic brethren
who were slightly hilarious over the
combinations in their interest made at
the alliance county convention, felt
decidedly otherwise after the Morgan
episode. The shoe was on the other
foot, so to speak.

on the matter so that the case can be re-
ported 20 the house immediately after the
Smlth-JackSOn case is gotten out of the
way. With the addition of Mr.. Smith
to the Republican ranks the majority
would be quite certain of always having
quorum on hand to dispose of the
other cases. A vote on the Smith-Jack-
son case will be taken to-morr ow, il pos
sible. Mr.. Jackson will be unseated,
and then the Atkinson-Pendleton case
will be called up. The Democrats in
tend to continue the fight to the last,
and they will use every strategy to
delay action.
OTHER BUSINESS WAITS.
Little is known concerning other busi-
ness that may come before the house.
AS it is, there is slight prospect of the
enactment of any legislation for the
present. The members of the worlds
fair committee are undecided as to what
snail be done with the general bill they
have under consideration. Some mem
bers of the committee are in favor of
letting the bill go over until the rules
are adopted, while others are aXiOus to
bill without long debate. Mr. Hit, of
Illinois, fayOrs the latter plan. He
thinks that the bill can be disposed of
within an hour. The committee on ter
ritories will probably report the Okla
hama bill during the week and take
speedy action on it.

not much trouble in selecting a referee.
Pat Kendrick was suggested and was
urged to accept and did so, and John
O'Neill and John l.. Duffy were named
timekeepers. There was little further
delay. The gloves were chosen and
donned. They were called four-ounce
gloves. but looked little less than
three. The crowd showed enthusiasm
when Vacquelin went over and shook
hands with Kilrain in the latter's
corner, to show that 1t was
pals and seconds met in the center and
claSped hands, and then the decks were
cleared for action. Muldoon made a
little speech, saying it was a gathering
on Sunday afternoon to witness a
glove contest, and hoped the crowd
would not forget it and think it had
come to prize fight in the country. 1t
was contest for the display of skill,
strength and endurance, and not fight.
Both sides had agreed to abide by the
referees decision, and the crowd should
do the same. Then Muldoon stepped
back into the corner. At 3:49 the ref
cree called time, the men sprang lightly
forward and
THE FIGHT COMMENCED.
Kilrain made the fight scientifically,
and showed all the generalship for
which he is noted. In the first round
he tried to draw Vacquelin on, but the
latter was wary and never once assumed
the aggressive. There was no fighting
i'll the first round. In the second Kill
rain repeated his half-arm blow and
squeezed the savageness out of Vaquelin
in clinch, so that when he let him go
Nacquelin dropped to one knee. When
Kilrain found his rival weakening he

same time swinging his right in on the
neck. 1t Was good chance to end up
matters then, but the police and referee
lnterfered. Kllrain continued his
rushes, and landed on the
neck, jaw and stomach with
both hands, clinched and crowded
VacQuelin to the ropes. When the
round ended Vacquelin's jaw was
swelling up and his ribs were rosy. In
the third Vacquelin was more confident,
and swung out his right, but relapsed
to the defensive when he failed to reach.
Kilrain landed left-hander on the
stomach at very long range and slipped
after the blow. 1t was Vacquelin's
chance, but Kilrain got away like cat.
Then he smashed his right out to the
jaw, again on the body, feinted again
with his left and clinched with it, leav-
ing his right hand free for work. The
right swung around and struck with ter
rife force on Vacquelin's jaw
and side in rapid succession.
He got away with few light
returns. He repeated the performance,
landing his right three times more on
the jaw before the round closed. Kill
rain kept it up after the call of time,
and Vacquelin was nearly ready to fall
when his seconds pulled him away.
Cleary urged Vacquelin to continue, but
the big mans sore leg had swollen from
the exercise, and he said he would not
go on. He was far from being knocked
out. although his lip was cut and his
jaw and sides were very sore. He said
he had no business to fight at all, but
would not back out. Under the circum-
stances Cleary threw up the sponge and
Kilrain was declare the victor. Vac
quelin cried and wanted another go.
Kilrain says his opponent is a good
man, but green.

BURNED TO A CRISP.
Ten Persons Die in the Boston
Holocaust.

Ten Persons Die in the Boston
Holocaust.
BOSTON. Feb. 2.-In July forty-four
years ago nine persons were burned to
death in fire on North street. Boston
had not recorded a counterpart in fatal
ity to that disaster until this morning.
shortly after midnight, when fire broke
out in the dwelling house Nos. 259 and
261 of the same street, occupied mostly
by Italians. A shocking summing up
of the disaster is that ten persons were
quickly burned to death, three others
fatally injured, and SIX more were seri-
ously, if not mortally hurt. There is a
diversity of accounts as to the circum-
stances of the origin of the fire, the
alarm and the rescues. 1t is believed
that the fire started in the clothing store
of Maurice Ruhey, on the first floor,
and some minutes before it was dis
covered it had eaten through the part-
tian wall of the hallway which con-
tained the stairs leading TO the tene-
ments above. The wooden stairway was
like tallow candle, and the flame
swept up it like flash. In doing so it
lighted up the hallway and shot little
forks out through the cracks of the door
and soon attracted attention. In a
moment more the flames had taken hold
of the rear stairways ascending from
the same hallway and thus cut off all
escape for the occupants. The scenes
which occurred among the inmates
when they were awakened were of the
most exciting description. There was
no way for them to get down, and as
they ascended to the attic the flames
followed swiftly upon them. Shrieks
of terror, groans of agony and
cries for help filed the air.
Men. women and children filled the
windows and piteously pleaded for help.
Some of the more venturesome even
hung from the windows by only slight
hold on the sills. Ladders were hur-
riedly hoisted, lines of hose quickly run
off and ''pipe" from the chemical engine
was rushed into the flaming mass. In
ten minntes the fear Of personal safety

shell could be examined. Chief Web
Der. followed by several firemen,
went into the building at a little
after 1 o'clock, and with difficulty
ascended to the upper floors. The stair
ways from the street to the second floors
were completely burned away. When
the chief and his companions reached
the upper floor, sight that Mortified
them met their eyes. Under one of the
windows crouched a human form,
burned to crisp almost, the two palms
ciasped together and kneeling as
though at prayer. Further search
showed in other parts of the top floor
seven other human forms. covered with
cindera and ashes, naked, and disclosing
limbs that had been torn asunder by
falling parts of the building. Seeing
their escape from the floors below to
the street impossible, because the stairs
were roaring masses of fire, the terrified
victil had evidently rushed to the
upper MOOR in their attempts to escape,
and had there been roasted as though
held in a furnace. Later two bod
les OF infants were removed from other
parts OF the building and the completed
list OF ten human lives was made up.
The injured were removed to hospitals,
and the dead bodies were taken to the
mergue for Identification. Serious sus-
picions have been raised that the fire
was the work of incendiaries. 1t is
stated that when the street door was
burst open the smell gave strong indi-
cations that the stairs and floors had
been saturated with oil. The police
have decided on thorough investiga-
tion, and one Benjamin Simonds has
been arrested on suspicion. 1t is claimed
that no lives would have been lost if
the locality had been sufficiently sup
piled with facilities for extinguishing
fires
