BYRON, Jan. l3. IS!

BYRON, Jan. IL, 1891.
EDITOR TIMEs:-Having noticed col
umn i'm your paper devoted to educational
notes, will you allow me a short space that
| may mention the rapid progress made in
the Byron Union school in all departments.
Having written short article for this col
umn under date of Dec. 90, 1890, the ac-
curacy of some things contained therein
regarding the mental advancement of the
pupils are challenged by some.
Having had the pleasure of visiting our
school (Which our opponents have not done)
the assertion is made from personal knOwl-
edge that no better discipline ever existed
than at present We do not wish to be
understood here that there is the least dis
position to criticise the predecessors of our
ever alert and energetic principal, Prof
French, but to maintain that this is one of
the best schools i'm the county.
Is it to be wondered at that there oceas-
iOnally crops out latent spirit of of contrO-
versy, when teacher has nearly two hun
dred minds to tutor and equally that many
dispositions with which to contend, that he
is liable to error? We are aware that this
article should be left to more able minds
and ready pen than our own, but if the
writer can do anything to promote the in
terests OF school of which he is patron
and personally interested he will feel that
he has not written IN vain. Every one has
his circle Of influence and we sincerely hope
1t may be cast to promote the interests of
our children who depend upon us largely
for the ability to make the future of their
lives a success.
Miss Maud Savage and Miss Josie Miner
are labOring earnestly to sustain the dignity
of their respective departments. If there
should be any who question the veracity of
this assertion they may become convinced
of its truthfulness by short visit where
they are always welcomed and treated with
the utmost courtesy.
In conclusion one more thing we have to
say, and that is this: 1t may be possible to
equal our efficient corps of teachers but we
think it altogether impossible to excel them
in this or any adjoining county.

Tuesday morning burglars broke into the
machine shops of j. w. Miles and stole tools
preparatory to operations on the safe in
Ponds Monumental works. In attempting
to force an entrance at the latter place they
were discovered by Rollin Pond, the pro-
prietOr, who fired one shot from his revolver
frightening them away, the burglars leaving
the tools in their haste. The day following

A bill has been introduced in the legisIa-
ture detachng Ingham from Jackson county
as judicial circuit. The representatives
from Shiawassee county should push a
move to have this county and Ingham
formed into circuit. The business in this
county is always behind for the reason that
there is not time to complete it before Judge
Newton has to leave for either Genesee or
Livingston county. What do the attorneys
of Shiawassee county think Of this matter!

K. o, =. NJ. Installation and Pre-
sanitation

The members OF Wilson Tent No. 100
Knights of the Maccabees met i'm their fine
hall over the Second National Bank on the
18th of January for the pur pose of INSTALL
ing their officers elect for the ensuing year.
After the ordinary routine of BUSINESS had
been transacted, the installation service
was taken up. Sir Knight Com. Ii. L.
Small vacated the chair which he has filed
with great credit to himself and benefit to
the order for the past two years, and our
worthy Sir Knight Past Com. Robert Inger-
soil took charge of affairs for the time being.
He appointed Sir Knight Past Com. w. ii.
BigelOw as Great Master at Arms, the duties
of which Office he dispensed in his custom
airy able and happy manner. They INSTALL
ed the officers as follows: CON-, VIM. Jop-
A. Waugh; +. X, +. M. Eighme; Prelate,
+. j. Butler; Physician, j. d. Crum; Sergt.,
4. Teal; NJ. at A., Geo. Wilson; LIST M. of
g., Geo. Welte; I'd M. of c., A. w. Wren;
Sentinel, G. 4. Tracy; Picket, +. G.. Smith.
After the installation came the usual con-
CALCULATIONS and complimentary remarks
incident to the occasion. Then occurred
the most pleasing part of the evenings
work. The MaccabeeS are q class of men
noted for their fratcrnal feelings one for
another, with big hearts and open handed
liberality when occasion offers and not slow
to appreciate favOrs granted. These good
qualities were eXempified on the evening
i'm question AS the members, fully appre-
ciating the able and loyal manner in which
Sir Knight w. +. Small has filled the office
of Com. for the past two years, and also
being aware of his disnterested efforts and
untiring devotion to the best interests of our
Tent and the order at large, showed their
appreciation and good will by presenting
him with q handsome divan and fancy rock
ing chair. Sir Knight Frank Ii. Ever made
the presentation in behalf of the members
in suitable manner, and the recipient ac-
knowledged that nothing had occurred dur
ing the two years that he had been in the
chair that had so nearly fOored him and
words failed to come to express his feelings.
Cigars were next in order. Then the Sir
Knights retired to their homes i'm peace,
each feeling proud that they belonged to
such noble organization.

Burglars invaded this village last night
and broke into Mitchell IL WilcOx's meat
market, ID. Lebar's store, Mr.. Crooks
grocery, Vol. Williams saloon and Chas.
Bush's saloon. They got little IL any
money and the amount of other valuables
stolen was not large. They were very select
burglars and took mostly to saloons. Ii
they had drank enough of the blue ruin to
be fonnd in the latter places, the officers
never would have had to look for them en-
cept right on the spot. They would have
laid right down there.
Later-Bert Smith, Fred Steers and -
Snelder have been arrested for the aforesaid
burglary.
The ice men have completed their harvest
and have fine stock secured. Ii is not
any colder now than 1t will be next sum-
mer, but 1t of more permanent nature,
and when one sits down on it, IL seems
colder, harder and more forbidding. 1t
promises ice cream however and stomach
ache next summer.
The last issue of THE TINES relates in
Its educational column the wall Of teacher
that is sufficient to strike pang to the
heart OF Piute Indian. The teacher says
he has a red-necktied and otherwise gOr-
geOus!y bedecked ''visitor" who comes like
death-unbidden, and who preambulates
the school room at his own sweet will, with
out let or hindrance, and as he believes Is
led to frequent the place from fondness of
the female girls belonging to said unfortu-
nate school,. He further says that he is the
son OF "a man whom it is best not to Of
fend because he is citizen of influence"
he is at loss what to do to rid his distract
ed school of this uncanny grest.
There are several ways not laid down i'm
orr works whereby this could be accom-
plished. After asking the old man i'm a
quiet, unObtrusive way if he was the sire of
the youth, would inquire, If he said yes,
why in the world he didn't brain him when
he was born, and If not then, why not at a
later period of his existence. Then would
make certain suggestions as to later methods
of training. If this failed l would try
throwing the youth under the stove or out
OF the back window. Failing in this
would persuade him to go out with poker
and let him sit down in the cold like Kais-
er's dog and growl. One thing is certain,
he or would run that school p. d. q. and
1t wouldn't be he either. I'd jam his head
into the ash pail and throw him over the
back yard fence if he was son of the
whole school board, and had uncles OH both
sides. o.

an attempt to reach the headw&ters of
the Alaska river. He located its source
about eleven miles northeast of Mt. st.
Elias, and has in the expedition demon
strated the fact that the whole of the
country east of Schwatka's field of ex-
plorations is availabIe for pack horses.
He, himself, took and brought back four
horses in perfect condition. Previously
nothing but manual labor has been en-
ployed in the country traversed. He
has discovered and taken photogra phic
views of the whole country lying between
the North Yukon and the base of the
st. Elias Alps, and finds it more suit
able for traffic than was ever imagined
before. Glove proceeds direct to Wash
ington to ask the United States govern
ment for an appropriation to enable him
to open up trails next season. His
party was composed of himself and a
friend named Dalios, it being the small
est party that ever traversed that region.
He took 100 photos and discovered enor-
mously rich copper mines.

official communication to Capt Schley,
of the United States warship Baltimore,
requesting that the sailors attached to
that ship who were wounded in the re-
cent riots, be permitted to appear before
Judge Foster and give their testimony
In case it is found impossible or mex
pedient to have the men appear before
the judge in person, he is requested to
furnish copies of their positions. which
have already been taken by Captain
Schley. The Baltimore's wounded men
are rapidly recovering from their hurts.
A feeling of extreme cordially now
seems to exist between the ChIlian au-
thorities and the United States naval
officers, and there are frequent inter
changes of courtesies.
