The glory of the Autumn is with
us. The breath of the Frost King
has passed over the forests and the
dark green of their foliage is now
flashes of scarlet and gold crimson.
A soft purple haze hangs over hill
and valley and the sounds come to
you from afar in subdued half hush
ed tones which seem to mingle till
they lose their singleness, and the
atmosphere pulses. a sweet low
rhythm, like the music of our
dreams heard and yet not heard.
Peace and rest and beauty are
everywhere and the presence of the
Almighty pervades it all.
Oh ye pessimistsl who declare
there is no good, no beauty, no love,
go into the fields and woods these
October days and learn how idle
and false are your teachings.

State Superintendent Lewis has
fixed upon November 10, as Arbor
day for this year. Arbor day is in
effect tree planting festival, and
the 100000 children in the schools
of West Virginia are expected to
take part in it. Each teacher will
report the number of trees planted
by his school to thu County Super
intendent, who in turn will report
to the State Superintendent.
The West Virginia building is adj
vertised by President Chancellor in
the Wheeling Register, at public
auction. 1t seems as if the State
should take that building as its
own property, as it paid every cent
towards its erection. 1t would be a
disgrace to the State to allow it to
pass into other hands. Bring the
building to Charleston where it win
be preserved for all time.

alarmed the people. 1t looked for
a while as if we were going to be
visited by a regular western cy-
clone. The track of the storm was
very narrow. Not a great deal Of
damage was done, however, except
that large plate glass in the hall
way of the Sterling building was
blown ont, part of the cornice OF
the Hines building, and the whole
of the cornice of the REGISTER build
ing was blown off, several trees
blown down and the electric light
wires broken in several places. The
town made a narrow escape.

When your shoes squeak, go to a
shoemaker and have him put a peg
in the middle of the sole, and there
will be no more loud proclamations.
Another thing, when you buy a
pair of new shoes and they hurt you,
put water in them and let it remain
for minute, then pour it out, and
if your shoes burn or hurt you after
that, you can say this is wrong.
The water takes all the natural
heat out of the leather and makes
the shoe comfortable.

YALE, ST. Clair County Mich. FRIDAY MARCH TO- 1898
ARRESTED THE TEACHER.

Much interest has been taken in the
case Of the People VS. Edwin 5. Black
principal of the Village Schools, who
was recently arrested for an assault
and battery upon complaint of Stott
Mathews, one of his pupils.
The proofs went to show that at the
time Mr.. Black took charge of the
school the walls and woodwork in the
basement and in the privies were con-
siderably marked and cut, showing
obscene pictures and writing.
The principal, Mr.. Black, and the
School Board took steps to have all of
these removed by the use of white
wash and paint, and Mr.. Black then
determined that there should be no
more such work during his admins
tration of affairs, but Notwithstanding
this there have been several instances
where the rule has been broken.
After some investigation Mr.. Black
came TO the conclusion that Stott
was implicated in the affair and under
took to- compel him to scrub off the
marks and writing with scrub brush.
Proofs also showed that the boy used
profane language and among other
things called the teacher liar, and
that for these several reasons the
principal gave him "A rather severe
fogglng with raw-hide.
A complaint and warrant was is
sued, the people being represented by
Mr.. Irving the Assistant Prosecuting
Attorney and William Gowan of this
place, whose argument was forcible
and presented the peoples case as well
as it could be under the circumstances
of the case.
Mr.. Tappan's presentation of the
defense was clear, logical, and was a
most instructive argument to define
the rights, duties, and responsibilities
of the teacher; was well supported by
strong opinions of the Supreme Courts
of the various States, and was attent-
lively listened to by all who were
present.
The verdict of "Not Guilty" rem
dered by the jury gives great satisfac-
tion to the people of the Village and
it is to be hoped that the ultimate
result of the trial will be for the good
of the School.

A dispatch from the worlds fair
fair grounds regarding Minnesota day
says: Minnesota day now promises to
be a splendid success, provided the
favorable weather continues. Two
thousand people registered at the
building yesterday, and many add
tional names will be on the big
book before evening. There is no
diminution in numbers of Minneso-
tans and the stream of population
seems to be pouring out of the state
into Chicago. MankatO, Austin and
Rochester are represented by at least
25O people each. and Minneapolis, ST.
Paul and Duluth are contributing
large numbers. Over l 1000 invitations
for the reception on Minnesota day
were sent Iout yesterday to world S
fair officials. This reception will be
a brilliant affair. O 1t is now proposed
to rope the crowd off so that they will
pass in order up one side of the stair
way and thence to the reception room
and out upon the other side of the
building where tea will be served by
the ladies. In this way confusion
will be avoided. The decOra tiOnS of
the interior and exterior of the build
ing will be by professional, decorators
and will cost several hundred dollars.
