DifhcuIty of Sailing a Boat.

Watched from he wharf, sailboat
seems an easy sort of craft to manage.
The wind appears 10 DO everything. The
casual guest Of a skilled skipper likewise
is apt to think that as his host takes
things so easy il cannot be so very diff
cult TO handle a sailboat after all. He
regards the warning of experience as
based on the jealousy Of competition.
Let him who thinks sailing a science
which its followers try to represent as
hard to learn because they want to keep
it to themselves take trick at the helm
once.
1t looks easy TO keep the boat on her
course. Your friend who takes you out
sailing barely touches the tiller once in
awhile. Some day he asks you to take
the tiller while he goes forward. He tells
you 10 keep that spire and that tall
chimney in line. You take the helm; you
do what you think You have seen him do
The chimney and the steeple act as if they
were bewitched. They positively will
not come into line. You observe in a
knowing tone, ''She doesn't seem to
mind her helm" But she is minding her
helm, and pretty soon you find out what
Jibing means.
Most of the fatalities of summer sailing
are due to the errors of the man who
thinks sailing is easy, who is confident
that he knows all about it. In reality
many sea captain who can handle big
ship without difficulty does not feel at
ease in command of sailboat. Boat
sailing is a course at the Naval academy
in which the cadets undergo arduous
training under the most skilled instruct

JOSIIN.

JosLIN. Sept. 2l.-We had bust
ness in Coe yesterday, and we saw
corn that is estimated will 30 90
bushels to the acre.
Gregory Brown has picked load
of corn in 50-acre field. and
claims that ii will average 40 bushels
to the acre.
Mrs. Knowles and her daughter.
Cynthia. came up from Moline to
Joslin this morning. They are Wis
iting with Mr.. and Mrs. Wesley
Hanna.
We are informed there is to be two
lectures given at Yuma Methodist
church on Friday and Saturday even
ings next by the editor of the \. p.
4. organ of Rock Island.
Alexander Dunbar was taken seri-
ously sick on Friday evening last.
The family could not get a doctor
from Port Byron. 80 they sent a tel
egram for doctor at Erie. Mr..
Dunbar Is now better
The rain that we finally got. al
though welcome. was a sort of de-
LUCE. Although too late for corn and
potatoes. it made ii possible to
plough, and it so saturated the dead
grass that we are not near 50 liable
to have fires from the passing rail
way trains.
What comfort it seems to be for
families to have reunions. We were
upon the platform of the JoSlin de-
pot on Saturday morning last and
noticed Alexander Dunbar'S daugh-
tiers and their families coming in by
train for that purpose. 1t will be 80
years the coming month since Mr.
Dunbar was married and they NAV
have a golden wedding as well as a
family reunion.
Judging from appearances we are
to have fair ground and trotting
course about one mile north of JOS
lin, up on the farm of f. Vande-
burgh. 1t seems to be well adapted
for the purpose, being near TO the
bluff road and railway depot. and
having a suitable grove pom the
premises. 1t ! stock concern. the
shares being all taken. Six teams
are now at work grading up the race
course. the job having been let to
George Wainwright for the sum Of
$40.
How aggravating ii seems to be
that after debating the home rule bill
in the British house of commons for
seven long years. and being in con
tinuous session 80 long. and the q.
O. NJ. finally being victo. ious that
the bill should be killed in the house
of lords. Are we much better off
with regard to our American senate?
Are not both institutions stumbling
blocks to legislation? May we look
upon our senate As a republican in
stitution. when the least state. with
the least number of inhabitants has
the same representation as the larg-
est state with the largest number of
inhabitants? Does not this make it
possible for the minority to become
the governing power?

PLAY TIME IS OVER.
The Opening of the Public ScbooI. nj
the City Today

the City Today.
Inc public schools Of the city opened To-
day for the new school year Tb,s 60
fact that was of direct personal interest 70
some 1900 children and was in Cd
dition called to the attention of r,ony
thousand parents and guardians The con-
stituency of the public schools assumes
impressive proportions even from the stand
point OF mere numbers. 1t is possible thar
one or two thousand children in addition
10 the number given above thronged the
school buildings today. The figures show
ing the total school attendance are those Of
last year 1t will not be possible to know
IN. the NUMBER that will attend the schools
this year Tor some time yet as all the re
turns will not be in. 1t is fair to presume
that more children will be taught at the
public expense this year than last. for the
reason That for number of years past
there mas been an annual increase In the
number Of school children which AVERAGES
between twelve and fourteen hundred
Ihere is no reason to suppose that tho
usual increase will not take place this year
IL is quite an army when considered as a
whole, but under the system which Dre
walls 1t is easily handled and there is ,
place Tor every one and every one is in tho
place. or course there are times when there
are not quite as many school houses &C
there should be, and perhaps the corns of
teachers needs to be enlarged. but as a ruIe
the supply is equal to the demand The inn
portance of the public school system Is
recognized by Congress, and the appropria
tons are generous as could be expected
The schools open under favorable condi-
lions this year. The attendance is large
and the corps of teachers are in their
places. good proportion during the va
cation visited the worlds fair and no doubt
some time during the school year they will
give their impressions of this great educa-
tional exhibit. Some of the pupils have
also been to Chicago, and so 1t is likely
that the fair and its influence will reach
pretty well all the public school children
The reunion between teachers and schoI-
ars and between pupils today was pleasant.
and the opening of the school was mark ed
by a degree of enthusiasm and interest
which promises well for the work Of the
year.
