Miro, G.. b Buchanan Entertaino
on Saturday Evening. ,z.5

The musical on Saturday evening
at the residence Of Hon. {. b. Buck
man was the pleasant st social event
of this season. At that time Mr.
and Mrs. Buchanan entertained
their married friends to the number
OF about forty in Il manner which 1T
is to he hoped will be followed by
others OF our people.
The guests assembled in this
pleasant home about s O'Clock ana
soon after the program opened with
the instrumental selection "Liberty
Bell' by Mr. f. H Buchanan ON the
violin and Mr.. John Cans on the
piano. This was followed by Il reel
tation by Mrs. l. f. Staples. Mr..
John Cans then rendered a piano
solo, "Martha" which was followed
by MIR. j. H. Rhodes reading the
"Money King" The piano duet.
"rhe Light Cavalry" was rendered
by Miss Maud Buchanan and Mr..
Cans, and was followed by "The Old
Kitchen Floor sung by Mr.. Staples
after which Paderwiski' "Polish
Dance" was rendered by Miss Maud
Buchanan. "Farmer John" was
sung by Mr.. and Mrs. Staples. The
program closed with vocal duet by
Mrs. Flynn and Mr.. Cans. After re-
freshments were served Mr.. Cans and
Mr.. E. II. Buckman-by special
re0uest-gave several selec ions. All
the numbers were well rendered and
elected hearty and well merited
encores, but the piano playing OF Mr..
John Cans deserves especial mention.
1t is seldom tina our people
have the pleasure Of Ii tening to Il
musician of Mr.. Cans ability. The
evening passed quickly and when re-
freAhments were served it seemed
that the guests had been there Il very
short time. All We're highly pleased

cally as good as new. Only one

Pleads Guilty.

On Thursday we accused the
Journal Press of giving the wrong
credit to an article which would tend
to injure the reputation of the new
stone recently found in this county.
The Journal-Press pleads guilty in
the following languages: The Little
Falls Transcript, in Il lengthy in
spired article on the new quarry
owned Jointly by f. ROthwell Of that
city, and Geo. W. Stewart of this
city, is not content with lavishing
words of the most fulsome praise on
the stone, but goes further. 1t cites
an instance Of this paper publishing
q report of the city engineer Of Chi
cago and crediting it to the Mime
apolis engineer. Guilty" is the plea
entered by the writer. The article
was brought to this office by agran-
lite man and without careful ex-
animation it was published as the
opinion of the Minneapolis engineer.
1t was clipped from the Minneapolis
Tribune and hence the mi stake was
q natural one.

An Old Soldier Destitute

j l. Berg, ~ Ripley, writes VIM.
Buskirk that the family of Sergt.
E. Davis, who for years has taken
care of the old buildings at the Fort,
Is In destitute circumstances and
asks Mr.. Buskirk to see the relief
committee and get them to do some
thing for them. Mr.. Davis Was in
the United States service for over
twenty-five or thirty years. and
when old Fort Ripley was ahan-
doned 10y the troops he was left In
charge. Up to the time when Prrsi-
dent Cleveland took his seat the first
time Mr.. Davis received $25 per
month for his service, but under the
Democratic administration this was
cut off. Mr.. Davis for time
received $40 per month from the
old soldiers fund, but has not re-
ceivcd it for some years. Mr.. Davis
is quite sick and helpless ut this time
and the neighbours have contributed
considerable to the support OF the
family. An effort will be made to
have the government do something
for them, but in the meantime they
must have something to live on and
protect them from the cold.
Some provisions were sent up to-
day by few of the old soldiers.
The Benevolent Aid society also
sent some groceries to Mr.. Davis.

Caught Fire From the Chimney.

The residence of H. S. Clyde on
First street north caught fire ON
Thursday afternoon and but for the
prompt action of Mr.. Clyde his loss
would have been a serious one. he
was out in the barn when he noticed
smoke issuing from the roof OF the
house near the chimney. Before he
thought of turning in an alarm he
procured a pail Of water and rushed
to the attic, where he found the I'M
der side of the roof on fire near the
chimney. Hewas well supplied with
water and soon had the fire under
control. The chemical was on hand
in few moments and a hole was
cut in the roof and every spark ex-
tinquished. Mr.. Clyde thinks the
chimney burning out caused it.
There was considerable delay in
getting to the Clyde fire and the
blame for it does not seem to rest
upon any one. A. X. Hall was driv-
ing by and noticing the roof on fire
drove to the city hall and gave the
alarm. He then drove away and it
was thought by the firemen that it
was at his residence. The entire de-
Dartment rushed to his place on
Third street only to find that the fire
was on First street.

university, In. q conversation touch
ing this subject, expressed himself
clearly:to the effect that state exam
nations were intended purely as an
INCENTIVE t. harder study and to en-
courage pupils to prepare for uni
,yersity work. =, Geo. 3. Alton. state
inspector of high schools, occupies
the same position and maintains
that the system of state examtna-
tions was never intended to conflict
with or supersede local examine
tjons. He further stated that the
passing of the state examinations
was not essential or necessary to
the dropping of Il subject. He even
recommended that when the ques-
lions prepared by the state board OF
examiners were not suitable, or were
not fair when applied to the pupils
OF any particular school, they should
not be given.
If access could be had to the sta
tistics showing the results or the
state examinations held last year
throughout the entire state. the facts
cleaned therefrom would be sur
prising to no small degree. The per-
centage of pupils in the state VINO
were successful in these examinations
is extremely small.
The instances are not rare where
pupils, who were adjudged fully
qualified to graduate from a pre-
scribed high school course, were
"plucked" because Of failure in one
or more of the state examinations
given at the close of their senior year.
Whether these general failures
were due to unusual or severe exam
nations on the part OF the state; to
superficial work or to the permitting
of pupils to attempt the state ex-
aminations, regardless OF attain
:nents or qualifications, is known
only to those intimately acquainted
with the system and with high
school work throughout the state.
The statement can safely be made
however, that if less attention were
paid to the idea of passing state ex-
aminations, and more thought ana
time were given to thorough ana
conscientious work during the entire
semester, and only those who had
proved themselves capable were per-
mitted to take the state examine
tons the number of failures would
very materially decrease.
The final examina tiOns through
out the grades below the high school
are likewise held at the end OF each
semester. There examine tions, al
though in charge of the teachers o1
the various departments, are under
the direction of the superintendent.
Questions prepared by teachers Tor
these examina tiOns are submitted 70
him for approval or suggestion, ana
promotions throughout the entire
system of schools are under his con-
troll This plan insures uniformity OF
attachments in the same grades in
different buildings, and serves as a
highly satisfactory means OF secur-
ing cooperation and united work on
the part of the teachers. Each
teacher seeing her work compared
with that OF others and realizing
that the prescribed work for the
semester must be completed and
that the examinations for each grade
will be uniform. devotes every en-
ergy to the thorough mastery OF the
work of her department.
