Pastor of Fort Hill NJ. L. ChurC
Attention, Teachers and School Officers.

Your attention is respectfully called to the
fact that the new school laws go into opera
ton Monday, June 22d. Copies of the in
stitute law, the textbook law, and other
amendments will be forwarded to district
clerks within the next few days. A sufti
cient number of copies will be sent out to
supply each teacher and director of the
county. Teachers can procure copies by
calling on the district clerks.
THE INSTITUTE.
The Iron County Institute will open at
Belleyiew, Monday, July Goth, and continue
in session four weeks. 1t is hoped aud
earnestly requested that each teacher of the
county will call upon the county treasurer
and deposit the three dollar ($3) fee provid-
ed by law for the support of the county in
stitute. Please attend to this matter at your
earliest convenience, and thereby show that
you are in sympathy with the educational
progress of the times. l shall work hard
and faithfully to make our institute one of
the best in Southeast Missouri, and 1 am
confident that my efforts in this direction
will receive the hearty support of my teach
ers. At best our institute fund will be
small, but il the teachers will show their
sympathy and co-opertion by responding
promptly and cheerfully, school boards will
know who are in earnest in the work and
can govern themselves accordingly.
The signs of the times demand better and more
efficient work in common schools, and the ten
dency ofrecent legislation is toward that end; there
FORE it behooves our teachers meet this con-
diton of things with firm determination to keep
abreast of the times You will fad, teachers, that
though it may hardship at first, the other
side of the situation shape itself to this
condition. and the logical result will be ncreas-
ed salaries for teachers and the business of teaching
will be converted into dignifed profession.

Steelville Democrat: "Just after
midnight last Saturday night, while
night operator Wyeoff was sitting in
the telegraph Office at Cuba, having
just brought in the mail which had
been thrown from passenger train No.
8, going west on the Frisco, he heard
a noise at the door, and, supposing it
was some of the boys from town or
from the hotel, called out, without
looking up from his reading, to push
the door at the bottom, the recent
wet weather having swollen it so that
it was somewhat difficult to open.
The next moment the door was push
ed open, and on looking up he beheld
two masked men, with drawn revolv-
ers presented at him, who demanded
his money and valuables. They pro-
ceeded to go through his pockets and
their search was rewarded by finding
SIS in cash and gold watch which
Mr.. Wycof valued at $40. The rob-
bers then ordered him to open the
safe, and on being informed that the
safe was for the use of the day men
and that he did not know the com BIZ
nation, they threatened to shoot him;
but, not knowing the com bination, he
persisted, and finally the robbers con-
cluded to take their departure with
out the contents of the safe. They
thereupon gave Mr.. Wycoff strict or
ders not to leave the depot before
morning, on pain of being shot, and
then took their departure. Wycof
remained in the office half or three
quarters of an hour, and then went to
the Maclay House and gave the alarm.
Men were soon gathered and the sur
rounding country secured, but with
oct success so far as capturing the
scoundrels was concerned. There is
evidently ell-organized band of
these robbers, who are working the
towns along the Frisco road, and who
are now making their headquarters at
or near Cuba. An organized effort of
the law-abidding people of that COM
munity to rid the country of these viii
Inns is an imperative necessity, and
the sooner it is perfected and the work
begun the better"

COMMITTEE.

The Editor of a county Democratic paper
rejoices because Republican Treasurer of
Philadelphia has stolen a large amount OF
money. We congratulate the brother be-
cause of his consolation, but predict that
within the city of brotherly love here will
no. be found a Republican Judge to shield
the criminal by such instructions to Jury
as was given by the Democratic Judge who
tried Noland.-Perry County Republican.
Then Pennsylvania Republican tao
tics will have greatly changed since
the time when Quay, the Chairman of
your National Committee, looted the
State Treasury of $3.50, 900, and lost it
in speculation. He never was even
brought to trial by the Republican
officials of the State he had robbed.
Noland's bondsmen have paid into
the State Treasury every cent of the
$32,5O0 stolen; SO Quay, with the
help of friends, made good the amount
he had stolen. If the Democratic off,
Gals of Missouri had followed the
example of the Republican officials of
Pennsylvania, holland to-day, instead
of being under indictment and in the
shadow of the "pen," would, like
Ouav. be stfree as air." and hold the
destinies of his party in the hollow OF
his hand.

Elk Congressman Frank of st. Louis
has his war-paint on and says he is
in for anything to down Harrison,
kerens, or Filley. He thinks that
Ben is neither patriotic nor judicious,
and says he will not support him If
he is nominated next year. Barring
Jno. B. Henderson, who was many
years since read out of the Republican
party because he was an honest and
conscientious man, Mr.. Frank is the
brainiest man in the Missouri g. p.
to-day, and his disaffection will make
lots of fun for Democrats next year.

The New York provincial papers
keep bowling Free Trade at certain
Democrats, just as though anybody
could be scared by the old chestnut.
A Free-Trader is opposed to class leg
islation, is in favor of an economical
government, and believes in the abil-
ity of the American citizen to compete
with all the world in the things in
tended by the Almighty for him to do.
Any man who asks ga fair fight and
d-n all favors," is bound to be a
Free Trader, and none the less pa
triot. He is also destined to be the
bulwark of Free Government.
