Superintendent ". II. Hatch, of the
| Moline public schools. contemplates max
ing an effort the coming winter to in
augGrate a course of university extension
letters in that city. The Republican
Journal says. ''tne lecturers will if obs
tanned come from Chicago, which is but
| thus lose little time 10 coming. The
topics to be leciured on will be of practi-
| cal benefit to our working men and others
who have never had the time to get a
| school training. Mr.. Ha'ch has an idea
| that Library hall would be a good place
| for the meetings. the object being to get
a small or medium sized room rather than
| large one, which would be less suited
to the work. The local lectures Will no
doubt be attended with great deal of
| interest and result in lasting benefit to
the working people of this busy commun-
ity, as the lectures no doubt will be kept
up year after year.
The university extension movement
which has begun 10 attract wide, presd at
tentiOn in America, has been called the
Salvation army of education. II is au
attempt to carry the university TO the
people when the people cannot go to the
university. 1t is for the purpose of
meeting the great popular movement in
search of knowledge, not by inviting
students to leave their homes bat by
sending teachers to the men ard women
whose lives are fix ed round the centers
of industry. The university extension
movement had its origin in its present
form in England. College professors
located in the workingmen's districts in
London and gave lectures in the homes
of the toiiers, finally establishing per-
msnent institutions to carry on the work.
Of which Toynbee hall in East London is
a notable example. Ia 1884 an Ameri-
can professor attending meeting in
London got an insight into the plan and
afterward lectured on it in this country.
Contemporary with the English move
ment there had developed in America
system Of popular higher education
by means of local lectures in conuec
ton with colleges. mechanics institutes
and lyceums, but not until 1884 was the
idea Of system of itinerant lectures IN
augurated. One of the foremost agencies
in furthering tine work in this country has
pioneer in the movement. Some of the
brightest young professors in our great
schools, men fitted more properly for
popular teaching, have been sent forth to
deliver lectures to the mechanics, husi-
ness men and all sorts of toilers. The
American society of the extension of
University teaching was organized in
Philadelphia in February, 1890, and is
doing q good work in the east

BRAZILIAN PEBBLE.

Quality of Glass.
What is called Brazilian pebble is
often nothing but fine quality of
glass, says the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. The real Brazilian pebble is a
kind of rock crystal, found in many
parts of the world, but in great pro-
fusion in Brazil, and hence the name
There is a pet superstition that the
.1.razilian pebble glasses preserve the
sight, but no solid foundation for it
exists Fine glass is every whit as good
and costs far less on account of the
labor and care required to grind the
crystal to the proper shape.
The only real advantage the crystal
lenses have over those of glass is in the
hardness of the material, which rem
,lers them much less liable to become
scratched and SO dimmed, but other
wise the glass is as good. There are
several tests by which to distinguish
the genuine pebble from the glass imi-
tation, but the most easily applied is
that of touch. The real pebble will
feel far colder to the finger or tongue
than the glass. SO much so that after
touching glass lens and then one of
crystal any one will be able to detect
the difference

A Wife's Crime.

GosHERS, Ind, Jan 11-MS Frances
F. Calkins, handsome and innocent
looking woman, with beautiful bright
ewes, was married TO Edmund Calkins,
n well-to-do farmer, last April. Three
days later she and n man named Frank
Hendry, with whom she had been init
mate before her marriage, induced her
husband to go boating with them
They returned thoroughly drenched
without Calkins, who they said. had
been drowned by the boat upscttine.
The body was found three days later and
the verdict of the Coroner's jury was
accidental drowning"
Shortly after, Mrs. Calkins applied 10
an insurance company for the payment
of policy made in herfavor by Calkins-
Payment was refused, the company sus-
pecting foul play. Instead of pressing
her claim, Mrs. Calkins silently disap-
peared few days later with Hendry.
They were subsequently indicted by the
Grand Jury, and both were arrested
Mrs. Calkins in Niles, Mich, Wednes-
day, and Hendry in Chicago Saturday
night.
Mrs Calkins has made a full cOnfes-
fesion duplicating Hendry. She says
that after inducing her husband 10 will
her all his property and insuring his
life in her favor, they took him boating
for the purpose of drowning him. They
first drugged him aud then pushed him
into the river Mrs. Calkins has been
twice married before. Both wer,
brought here last night.

The Bad Lauds.

The Bad Lands of Dakots, mentioned

the Indian troubles ia the northwest,
are described as being composed Of a

feet; but il is up one and down another

mud at the bottom, is the nearest ap-

The Car Split In Two.

PITTsBURG, Jan. 11.-An electric car,
crowded with passengers, on the Second
avenue street railroad, jumped the track
at the corner of Tenth street and Second
avenue at 1890 O'Clock Saturday night,
and fell over trestle about fifteen feet
high. Maggie Delehauty was badly
bruised and received internal injuries,
and Thomas McClelland had his leg
broken.
As the car was crossing the trestle at a
rapid rate Of speed it suddenly jumped
the track, struck piece of timber and
rolled off into an old metal yard, one end
of the car being in the metal yard and
the other end on the trestle. As the cal
fell over it split in two lengthwise, The
passengers were thrown on top Of one
another and into the metal yard. Some
of them were picked up unconcious, bu
shortly after revived. 1t seems almos
miraculous that no one was killed, bu
excepting the two persons mentioned thu
Others seemed to have escaped witt

as sweepers and scrubbers in the hall Of

Householder, realizing that it would
be perilous TO make the announcements
within reach of the disappointed women,
took his position in the elevator, mid
way between the first and second floors,
and as soon as he had completed the I'M
pleasant task assigned him, rapidly de-
scended TO the basement and escaped
from the wrath of those whom he had
not on the list.
Although the scr1Ibbers and sweepers
receive only half dollar a night, one
of the applicants owns several brick
houses and large tract of land.

A Great Cattle Range.

KASsAs CRY, Jan, 1l.-Eyer since
the cattlenen have been driven out of
the Cherokee strip they have been try
ing to find some place for a range that
would not be too far from the markets
to be available. Such a range has been
found and a syndicate of mortgage COM
panies in this and Eastern cities has
been formed for the purpose of consoli-
dating the western part of Kansas into
one vast cattle range.
The lands in that part of the State
have been mortgaged TO their full extent
by the settlers and the continued
droughts have caused such an exodus
from them that the mortgage compan-
les are finding themselves with thous-
ands of acres on their hands which they
can do nothing with, in the way of sell
ing or renting. 1t is understood that
| foreclosure sales of mortgaged lands
amounting to over / 200, 900 acres hayS
been ordered in the western tier of coun
ties, and as all this land lies together
is to be rented to the cattlemen, or els
