Train Near st Louis.
ST. LOUIS, Mo, Dec. 2.-rhe train rob-
berry on the st. Louis and San Francisco
road at Glendale, about eight miles from
this city, Monday night, was a success as
far as the robbers were concerned, for they
escaped with money and valuables to the
amount of probably SlG0, Geo. The Adams
express company was the victim, and from
the manner in which the robbers did the
job it is evident hat their plan was to
make u clean sweep of the express car.
The robbers performed their work so eff
fectually and covered their tracts so well
that there is not the slightest clew to their
identity or whereabouts.
Three rified pouches and some very val
liable checks and papers were found two
miles northeast of Glendale, which indi-
Gates the direction taken by the train rob-
bers in their flight.

The Assignment of the Alliance Exchange
Set Aside.

The Assignment of the Alliance Exchange
Set Aside.
In the Chancery Court last Thursday
the suit of the WcstiicId Whip Co. vs.. the
Lincoln County Farmers Alliance En-
change resulted in the setting aside of the
assignment made ut the time of the fail
ure in favor of certain preferred creditors,
principally home men and members of the
Alliance. The point on which the dceis-
ion turned was, that certain of the pre-
ferred creditors were stockholders in the
business, which the Chancellor held,
Initiated the assignment, and judgment
was therefore rendered in favor of the
suing creditors.
Judge Cassidy, counsel tor the pre-
fcrred creditors, obtained an order from
the court restraining the assignee, +. K.
Sherman, for 80 days from paying over
the assets to the suing creditors, so as to
allow the defendants time to take all ap-
peal to the Supreme court in the event
they decide it best to do SO. Mr. Sherman
informs the LEADER that the net assets
held by him amount to So, S65.39

MISCELLANEOUS.

Once before have mentioned the fact
that the low average of attendance dur
lug December and January is to be attri-
buted to sickness-chiefly measles and la
grippe. We were more fortunate than
some other schools iu the State that had to
suspend temporarily, owing to measles.
To prevent similar misfortune overtak-
ing us could not the city officials make
some arrangement with the physicians
of the city so that the principal could
be notified of the first appearance
of measles, or similar diseases, in families
sending to the public school, so that all
children coming from such families could
be excluded for time, and the spread OF
the disease checkeds
have already called your attention to the
large number of tardies, and think there
are two causes which your body could re-
| move. The first is the opening hour.
great many children who live out of town
find it very difficult during the months OF
November, December, January, February
and March, especially on rainy mornings,
to reach school by half past eight o'clock.
| suggest changing the opening hour
from $3.50 to 9 o'clock during those
months. The second cause is the lack OF
a reliable time piece. If we had good
clock inside of our new school house, and,
as we have 10 town clock. large bell on
the outside, the main excuses given fol
hardness would be removed and rigid en-
forcement of rules would cause the other
delinquents to be on time.
As you expect to have at least a nine
months session next year your body will
have to fix an earlier date for your school
to open than the first Monday in octo'
her. For reasons with which you are
more familiar than l, the majority Of
children who are out of town do not enter
the school until after the middle OF No
yember, hence. it would be better to follow
the example of other places and have the
nav term consist of the first months OF

DISCIPLINE.

Many consider the discipline ola school
as the touchstone of character. 1t is too
often spoken of as applying exclusively to
punishments, but there are many other
agencies used in the discipline ola school.
Among the most important of these may
be mentioned classification, study. recita-
ton and moral suasion. These, and
when necessary, various punishments,
have been used with excellent results in
securing good order. We are to be con-
graduated that such high degree ofex-
cellence has been attained with but little
friction.
