Last week We noted the death at her
home in Platte Center, January I'D, OF
Mrs. William Bloedorn. The funeral
took place from the Baptist church
Thursday morning, Rev. Elwell and
Matzke officiating. The remains were
inferred in the Monroe cemetery by the
side of her mother and brother. The
deceased was born in Rochester, n. T.,
September 80. 1857, and at the time Of
her death was Sc years, 3 months and
p days old. June p, 1876, she was mar
RED to William Bloedorn. OF the nine
children born to them, the youngest is
four months and the eldest sixteen years
Of age, all living. The Signal says
further: 'On every hand could be heard
expressions of deep regret by the loss of
this good woman, irrespective of class,
creed or denomination, SO we'll had she
performed her work here on earth. Still,
while her good deeds are noticeable on
every hand, she did not neglect her fam
lily. 1t was here that her attention was
centered, and in her own words, thought
the very best thing 1 could do for them
would be TO give them myself. So l
spared no pains to talk to them, to teach
them, to pray with them and be a loving
companion and friend to my children"
If you watch our report Of tax sales,
it may save you a considerable sun of
money n Of these days. Thomas JEFF
erson said: Eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty" and nothing is truer.
1t is precisely the same species of watch
fulness that is exacted in the defense of
home, and the preservation Of property
rights, because these are only adjuncts
of liberty. In u list this week there
are a dozen pieces Of property, SOM
tracts of land and several city lots, upon
which tax-liens have lately been placed,
and the interest on these now is twenty
per cent, going to the investors, and not
to the county. II You borrow the money
Of a bank and redeem your land, You
pay only ten per cent, just half what is
allowed by law to the investor in tax
titles. OF course the oftener redemp-
tons are made the more compromising
OF interest at 20 per cen takes place,
and the more Is thus made for those who
have the money to invest in these secur-
tiles the best in the world. but it is to
the advantage Of the land or lot owner
to allow no lien upon his land, if he a
help it. If You have n get nd Of it as
soon as you can see your way clear.

erected in the open fields, with a

THE WORST YET.

In all the various tribulations which
the tariff reforms have endured up to
the present time those of the last few
days have been the worst. The letter
of Grover Cleveland to Chairman VIII
son of the House committee in which
he cast severe and damaging refec-
tions on the Senate Steering commit
tee called out very savage response
from Senators German and Vest, and
afforded opportunity for Senator Hill
to show his craftiness in coming to the
support of the president. The speeches
were remarkable for their angry dem
onstrations and for the information
they gave in regard to the true in
wardness of democratic politics in
high places. Until this battle is over
republicans will not need to engage in
any contests. They can look on with as
much non concern as the old woman
did when her husband was being hug
ged by the bear.

THE SUMMER SCHOOL.

in Caledonia county and from many
sections of the State. Eight were
here from Massachusetts, showing
that the School is winning reputation
beyond local vicinities.
The work done during the week was
not particularly unlike that done
heretofore. The instructors, Mr.. Hall
Mr.. Stone, Mr.. Day, Miss Blaisdell,
kindly furnish their matter in brief,
from which teachers Of the School
and others interested will get outlines
of the work and gist Of what was
given.
M. s. Stone, State superintendent,
presented the topic General Meth
Ods:"
1. Presentation.
a. Objective-thing.
b. Subjective-thought.
In teaching, the objective precedes
the subjective on account Of the con-
dition of the child's mind.
Object teaching is instruction con-
cerning the object itself: objective
teaching if the use of objects in teach
ing.
II. Process.
a. Analy separations.
b. Synthetic-combinations.
Always go together.
Analysis in grammar and arithme-
tic, SO named because that is the pro-

analysis Of a problem is giving the
logical reasons for each step taken;
simply telling hoaO to perform a prob
lem is of little value to the pupil. In
teaching primary reading use the an
alytic objective method.
III. Definitions, Rules, Principles.
a. neutrality-suspicious. to wholes.
b. Deductive-Wholes to particulars.
Definitions, Rules, and principles
should be taught inductively, so far as
possible, but on account Of brevity Of
time our teaching is too frequently of
deductive character, which cultivates
the memory chiefly. Inductive trains
the understanding, which is the aim
in mental training.
I. F. Hall gave the following out
line. History:
History is the story of the growth
of a nation from simple forms of
life to those which are more complex.
Countries, like individuals, pass from
childish, simple ways of living to
such as require thought, anxiety, and
complications of purpose and life.
The following outline of topics will
show this in our own country:
1. The Old Settlers. Indians and
Mound Builders.
2. The New Corners.
8. The Colonies.
4. Union and independence.
5. Expansion in Territory and
Modes Of Life.
6. Division. Quarrels in words;
Battles of the Civil War.
z. Reunion.
s. Possibilities of the New Union
The materials at hand for teaching
History are
1. The local scenery and events
connected with it.
2. Stories told and retold.
3. Pictures.
Suggestions:
1. The teaching should be real and
realistic.
2. 1t should be clear and definite,
restated and reiterated, for repetition
is the father and mother of memory.
3. Dates should be taught in con.
nection with maps.
4. History offers an excellent op-
portunity for the development Of the
powers of expression, (..anguage).
Some excellent books are Hines
dale's Teaching History,'' by D. APP
pleton & Co.and GA Pathfinder in His
tory" Lee & Shepard.
5. History should be taught in all
our schools on account of it's value as |
an Information study and a culture
study.
6. History properly taught has
great guidance value. 1t may be used |
to stimulate and retain, thus uncon-
developing character.

though the cold is not severe enough TO

that not more than three or four inches

The cold snap had most beneficial
effect on Tongue river, in that it stopped

DR.. Eichler, in the "Aerzt, Prakt. I"
advocates Peru balsam as a dressing
which causes lacerated wounds to heal
quickly, its points of adaptation being
that it adheres well and covers the en-
tire surface of the wounds; il has a
drying effect, but stimulates granula-
tions, and following application a scab
is formed under which healing goes on
DIR. Eichler states that its use is especial
ly indicated in the treatment of wounds
having tendency 10 marked suppura-
ton or partial gangrene, and in in
juries Of the hands and fingers the re-
suits are excellent. In practice, after
coaptition of the margins of the wound,
the Peru balsam is poured over the en-
tire surface, which is then covered with
thin layers of gauze moistened with
balsam and an ordinary dressing. The
latter may be left in place for several
days, though it is an advantage to re-
move the outer dressing daily and
molsten the gauze with the balsam
without removing it from the wound

The First Candidate.

Probably the first candidate for the
Reform school will be Helena lad, and
according to the following account Of him
as given in Saturdays Independent, he
must be a dandy: County Attorney
Nolan has filed an information against
Arthur Riley, aged eight years. charging
him with being incorrigible and beyond
the control Of his parents. Judge Hunt
set the case down for hearing today.
Riley has spent some time in the county
Jail. and now that the Reform school is
ready to open, it is considered best to
have the boy sent there. The county
attorney told Judge Hunt today that the
only way the boys parents could control
him was to take all his clothes away
When his stepfather had attempted to
chastise him the boy had said that he
could do il because he was stronger
When he got little bigger he would
put on the boxing gloves with his step
father. Riley will enjoy the unique dis
tinction Of being the first boy commit
ed TO the Reform school from Helena
and very likely from the state"
