ers' Association for April was held at
Lewis last Saturday evening. Owing
to the fact that the train bearing the
Kinsley delegation did not arrive at
Lewis until after O'Clock, there was
no afternoon meeting Of the Associa-
tion, and quite large number of .peo-
pie from the surrounding country and
some young ladies from KiusIey who
had gone across the country to attend
the meeting Eeturned befor the teach
ers assembled.
At Z O'Clock about twenty-five teach
ers and a large number of the citizens
of Lewis and vicinity assembled at the
NJ. E. church and the following pro-
gram was carried out:

We would urge upon teachers the
necessity of preparing for better work
than they nave eyCE done before.
There are positions to be filled and he
who Is qualified. viii alwss be in de-
nand- Competition is greatest in
those positions requiring little prepar.
alton and in which there is little paE
and influence.
Many teachers viii soon be out of
employment until school begins II the
fall Some will waste their time and
begin work for. the coming year no
better prepared than before. But
those who desire TO improve their time
without incurriRB the expense of at
tending a teachers training school
will md
THE READING CIRCLE
just what is needed. The r. T.. work
will be dSuJiy interesting and profitable
the coming year. The work of the
two years can be done together, which
viii give those in the first year an ont
line Of their future wo-I aud those in
the second year a review of what thev
have just gone oyer. At least thirty
OF our teachers should begin the first
years work. How many will?

From the Boston 9iobe.
The proposed fusion between tb,
democrats snd the peoples party in
Kansas may 6Tsst the electoral vote
| OF that state away from the rsDubli
Cans In GOvenbs next. That such q
union OF forces has been agreed upon
In explicit terms is testified TO By tbs
New York Tribune and leading western
journals.
Fusion has played no Iinimportant
part in the political history OF this
nstion- The republican party Is itself
creature OF fusion. The peoples
party in Kansas Il in perfect accord
with tbs democracy on the tariR issue.
and on general lines Of reform. With
Us incidental vagaries the democratic
party has nethiHg to do, nor does it
indorss them in the act OF co-operat-
Ing with it for certain common ends.
The combined force of the demo-
Gratis and alliance men in Kansas at
the last state election exceeded that of
the republicans by 90, 600 votes. The
alliance elected, with democratic help.
I'VE OF the seven members Of congress.
and the legislature has an alliance
majority Of sixteen on joint ballot, 1t
is eFisent, therefore, that fusion
among the anti-republIcan eIemen Is
means the almost certain loss of the
state this fall to the republicans.
Much the same possibilities are ope n
IN Minnesota and Nebraska, whs r.
fusion would undoubtedly be fatal to
republican chances.
The dissenters from republican rule.
under various names, are unquestiop-
ably in majority in several Of the
doubtful western states. Fusion Is =
fair and honorable application Of the
principle Of minority representation.
1t is not trading away Of principles.
but an equitable adjustment of rsprs-
sentatieE, It now appears certain
that the fusion idea win be utilized
with powerful effect IN many states to
unite al the anti-repubiican forces for
the defeat OF a common enemy in thu
coming national struggle.

kissed her. She broke down with grief, aud was
taken away. The doomed man then xpressed
desire to see Sheriff Flora alone. and the room
was cleared. He was told he could not live and
Flora asked him ii he had anything to say
