MONDAY, The four seasons are
represented by appropriate figures,
as are the moons phases. The
clock was built by Mr. Martin, a
millwright, of Schwarzwald, Baden,
and is said to exceed in ingenuity
any other clock ever exhibited in
the United States.
A PETITION is circulating in
PIatteviIle praying that a new trial
be granted to Rose Zoldoske, re-
Gently convicted of poisoning Miss
Ella Maly, of Richlaud Center
Nearly everybody to whom the
petition was presented signed It,,
and the number has already run up
into the hundreds. OF course there
is no doubt that the petition would
fail to secure consideration in any
court of justice whore criminals re-
ceive fair and impartial trial, The
people of Lancaster, where the trial
was had, have worked themselves
into state of feverlsh excitement,
and are leaving no stone unturned
to have the verdict set aside and a
new trial ordered, The Platteyile
Witness has such confidence in
Judge Clementson that it regards
all efforts to influence him as en-
tirely out of place.

tice while the latter is absent in

ELSEWHERE in this paper is an
article on educational matters by
II. w. Dietrich, superintendent of
county schools. The TRIBUNE is
ever ready for action in any move
that will advance the methods Of
education, and better the chances
Of the children of this country in
securing such instructions as will
prove boon to them in their
yeare Of maturity, and safe guard
to the nation; hence, It's hearty
support Of the Bennett Law in the
late compaign Any contribution
from Mr.. Dietrich or anyone else
on the subject Of education, pre-
pared in such a way as to prove Of
value aud usefulness IN the con.
Quoting Of public schools and the
educating Of the growing genera
ton, will always find easy access to
the columns Of this paper. In Mr.
Dietrich's contribution this week,
however, the ~ stands SO boldly
to the front that the reader is liable
to imagine he sees between the lines
an effort to expIaia away some
yexed question ol pcn'onal concern,
and also the efort 20 install the
writer as Of as much Importance as
the subject. It is friendly suggested
that this style be omitted.
The TBDuNE cguuot endorse the
plan Of licensing teachers only 10

schools Of the county. If there
are within the county borders
thousand quattfed instructors more
than are necessary 70 teach the
school of the county, they certainly
