COUNTY TEACHERS MEETING.

The county teachers met in the court
house at 7:30 p. IN. yesterday. Owing to Il
change in the day Of meeting a number
who were on the program were not pres
ent, but others took their places and the
meeting was quite successful.
A complete program for the year was
.hen reported. and the secretary was au-
thoriz.d to have 800 copies printed and to
send one to each teacher.
1t was moved to make q roll of all the
teachers in the county and to report the
attendance at the county association from
time to time. This will be hard on the
fossils who never attend An educational
gathering.
The coming meeting of the district asso-
citation was discussed and strong plea
made for good attendance.
Several good things are promised for the
near future. one being lecture before the
teachers by State Superintendent Winaus.
Several teachers suggested plans for the
good Of the association.
The next program will be an exception
ally strong one, including paper Oh '.The
Solar System" by Prof. South. Full
notice will be published in due time

Hon. Chester l. Long will close his cam

splendid speech'may be expected. 1t was
his intention not to speak in the county
any more after the Clearwater meeting.
but his friends here who have not heard
him have requested that he return and ad-
dress them.
Mr. Longs candidacy is in the very best
condition and there is no more doubt that
he will be triumphantly elected. The
DemoPops of this county feign belief
that Seigwick county will beat him by
SOC votes, but they are doing this by way of
injecting dose OF bl-chloride CT staminie
into Jerry's falling fortunes in this county
which they were claiming by 2. 600 early in
the campaign. A falling off of ], 800 is not
bad, of course, but the enemy will find
it much worse when the returns begin to
come in.

BACK FROM MEXICO.
John BY the Jail Breaker Cap ured In OLD
Mexico by Sheriff Ault


Sheriff AuIt has returned from the land
OF the cactus where he captured John Bly,.
the half breed Indian who is charged with
murder in the Indian country Some
three or four months ago BLY,. with Char
lie Snyder, escaped from the county Jail
here by cutting through one OF the iron
lars of a basement cell. 1t was bold es-
cape and made Sheriff Ault SO hot that he
determined TO retake them From that
day till this he has been on their trail and
has corresponded with half the sherlffs IN
the west concerning them. By means Pc
culiar to only officers and detectives he as
certained some two weeks ago that BLY,
was in Mexico and he Immediately packed
his grip and went after him. Toreone.
uear Durango, was the place where he was
located and when Sheriff Ault arrived
there he spotted his man Immediately.
He had to act altogether ION the bluff" as
he had no requisition, and he succeeded
admirably. BLY,, as matter of course,
didn't want to come back without requisi-
ton papers, but Ike soon fixed that by
saying that he would have him arrested
in Mexico for some charge and keep him
in custody until he could procure reQui-
sition. The prison Of AndersoDviile was a
palace compared With the Mexican prisons
of the present day, and when Bly, ascer-
tanned that there was possibility OF serv-
ing in one of these prisons be very willing
ly agreed to come to America at the risk
of getting hanged, as the evidence against
him is pretty strong.
Mr. Ault says he would rather be sheriff
of Sedgwick county than president of all
Mexico if compelled TO live there. 1t
seemed to him like another world and be
found nothing there but poverty and cac-
tus bushes.

UNIVERSITY EXTENSION LECTURE

The third in the course Of lectures on
electricity by Prof. Blake of the state
university. was given to good audience
last night.
The change to Saturday was made nee
esssary by the Columbian exercises Friday
night, as advertised.
The necessary work in defining new
terms occupied most of the first two lect-
ures and now that the audience has reach.
cd the point of saturation" for volts,
"smpheres," "ohms," etc. the lecturs are
becoming more interesting to the non
professional nearer.
By means of the lantern, with vertical
attachment, a number of beautiful expert
merts were shown. in which the iron

ious shaped magnets, and around a small
coiled wire. magnetizsd, assumed the
symmetrical forms so we'll known to every
student of magnetism. The use of the
lantern in presenting to large audience
these DELEGATE experiments is very pleas
ing, indeed.
The professor covered too large field to
admit of full report. but in covering the
field he exhibited ample Lines of force"
to hold the attention OF an audience, which
stood for hours in the chill air Friday:night,
watching the magnificent Columbian pa
rade Among the most interesting exper-
iments was one in which few coils of live
wire" around half Of ring of = iron
made of it such powerful magnet that
when the two halves we're united into
a ring about three inches in diameter the
magnetic force was sufficient to support
the weight of the professor, and whe
his assistant also added his weight the
parts of the ring showed great Magnetic
Reluctance" in dropping the two gentle
men to the floor. Magnetic screens" as
applied to watches were explained AS be-
ing merely soft iron covers to the works OF
the watch which offered AN easier path for
the lines of force than is offered By the
steel of the watch. A common iron shovel
interposed between barmagnet and a COM
pass needle showed that the magnetic
force was lead away from the compass and
travelled through the shovel.
With the electro magnet before named
he showed that while the two halves OF
the small circular electro magnet could
support $50 pounds they could not support
10 if separated by postal card.
Prof. Blake clearly outlined his idea of
university Extension" and it is this idea
that the friends of the movement are
trying to carry into effect.
For the general public the remaining
lectures will be more attractive. aud 1T Is
cOnfidentialy hoped that sufficient patron
age will be given to justify the heavy ex
pense being incurred.
