ASSAULTED SUNDAY MORNING.
A Gang Of Toughs Assaii Two Mea and
an Omcer Pulls the Victim.

n 0ong OF Ioughs Aseau Two Moa ana
an Omess Pulls the Victim.
Yesterday morning. just at the break
OF day several men emerged from .
saloon on Waterloo-st and congregated
together on the walk in front OF the
door that had just been closed, with .
chick Of the lock. The men were all
more or less drunk. Whether they
procured their intoxicants, after the
regular hour for closing, at the saloon
is = matter known to themselves and
the owner. They had been on the
street not more than five minutes when
one OF the number drew back his arm
and dealt a man standing IN front of
hlm a terrific blow in she necS, Telling
him like an or struck with an axe. No
sooner had he fallen than three others
also attacked HIM kicking him ahout
the body and jumping or his legs. One
big cowardly whelp kicked him vic
ious clip in the back or the neck, the
sound of the blow being distinctly
heard across the street. While this
man was thus suffering . cyclone of
blows, another party attacked his chum,
who instead OF remaining to suffer
ike fate took to his heels and escaped.
A policeman who had been doing, or
gazing at the eastern horizon, in front
OF the Eagle hotel, heard the commo-
ton and started on a dog-trot down the
street. The men we're not too drunk to
see him aud they disappeared as if by
mage. The victim of their assault
also staggered to his feet and sought
refuge behind friendly billboard, the
blood streaming from his mouth and
nostrils. The policeman hurried by
the scene of the assault, but on the
opposite side of the street.
Coiiared tho Escaping Victim.
Presently he met the pursuing
party, three IN number, on their return
followed at little distance by their
intended victim. The officer allowed
the three toughs to pass unnoticed, but
promptly coliared the inoffending fell
low who was returning to the rescue Of
his partner. Hc expostulated and ex-
planned how his partne: had been
kicked and thumped, and called upon
the policeman to stop the three toughs
disappearing up the street, but the off,
Ger only tightened his hold on the
fellows collar and shook his club om-
inously III his frightened face. The
last seen of officer and man, they were
turning on to Lewis-st. 1t was the
rankest burlesque on common sense
justice policeman ever perpetrated.
Had the toughs kicked the life out of
| their first victim, it - probable that
| the valiant officer would have arrested
the corpse. Ii o dozen toughs may
attack two men at daybreak in the very
heart of the city and kick him nearly
| insensible, what safety is there for 9
respectable man whose occupation
compels him to traverse the strdets
homeward at that early hour? The oc-
currence was within eyesight of Mon
roe-st and at least four officers were in
hailing distance, yet only one respond
ed and he collared the victim. That
the man was not killed is wonder and
yet it will be passed by as an early
morning brawl and the cowardly per-
petrators will escape punishment.

WITHOUT A QUORUM.
Both Houses Struggle to do Business
But with i'll Success.

LANSING, April 25.-It took rome
skirmishing this morning to find quo
rum for business in the House. 1t Was
finally done and work began. The
House received, from the Senate, Sem
ator Mines concurrent resolution to
ins,ruc. the Governor and State Treas
urer to issue bonds, already authorized
by law, and the proper State officers. to
pay from the proceeds of said bonds
so issued. the bounties which have been
promised by the State and not paid,
upon the presentation of euch bounty
claims, duly proven under such rules
and regulations as the State Board of
Auditors shall direct: Provided, That
no more bonds shall be issued than are
already provided for by law, in accor-
dance with the decision laid down by
the Supreme court in the case of
Adoniram j. Smith vs. the Auditor
General. The resolution was referred
10 the Committees on Military and
State Affairs jointly. Representative
Dodgps' bill covering the same subject
vas also referred TO the same commit
tee.
In Committee of the Whole, the
House took up Senator Boughnsr's bill
tn establish departments to furnish
stationery and supplies 20 State depart
ments and Institutions and also Senator
Dorsn's bill to amend the law relative
70 uniform system of accounting in
state institutions. After partial con-
sderstlon. both bflls we're recommitted
to the Committee on State Afsirs.
When the House resssembisd IN the
afternoon there were not forty men,
bers present. but no one raised the
question of quorum aud the House
soon went into Com mittee OF the
Whole. The committee took NJ and
considered representative Miners bill
to provide Ave ssenoersphers for the
justices Of the supreme court.

terest. Our whole life has been in this business;
we have familiarized ourselves as to latest styles,
patterns and colors now in use. Our store was
never SO crowded before with both goods and GUS
toners, and we invite every one to call and look
them over, whether you buy or not. We bought
this stock with one particular aim-that there
should be none better, and an absolute certainty
that no better prices shall be offered you any
where, because we can sell and do sell these goods
as close as it is possible that they should be sold.
You will get full value for every dollar you in
vest. These little savings here and there in ad-
dition to the quality Of the goods certainly makes
the Palace Store a profitable place for you to trade.
We take a great pride in our dress goods and
trimmings department.; we have one room dcvot-
ed entirely to ready-made clothing, hats and caps,
boots and shoes. No eastern house can fit you
up nicer nor better than we can. Bear in mind
that we sell at one price and that the lowest.

Education is the development Of
the whole man, and a perfectly edu-
Gated man would be perfectly de.
yeloped in all directions. Man
never has been able to reach perfec-
ton in education and probably
never will, as a perfect education
would produce a perfect man. The
Athenians attained to wonders in
purely intellectual education, the
Romans went to extremes in phys.
ical development, the Jesnits edu-
Gated only for the church, and their
successors only for the State. Our
own public schools deal almost ex.
clusivcly with book knowledge; but
many Of our best educators believe
that manual training should receive
q prominent place in our courses Of
instruction, while others oppose i,
on the ground that there is moi
enough Of time to devote toso many
things. Educational systems have
changed as the times have changed
and will continue to do so in the
future. All systems Of the past
have been partial, and those Of the
Lear future, at least, are likely to b.
the same. Hence education car
not be wholly a matter ofthe schools
but each person must receive {
large part Of his education in th,
broader school Of life. Society ant
the house each have their inf1uenc,
quite as important as that Of til,

At the beginning Of the present
year, the sixth and seventh grades
were not moro than two months
apart in their work and both were
very small. Some in the sixth
grade were decidedly better pupils
then than others in the seventh. An
effort to unite the two grades will be
completed at the end Of the year. The
two grades united will still be small
er in number than either the one

unfortunate that some Of the sixth
could make the work to be pro-
noted to the seventh, but the inter-
