The school board met last SatuF-
day and employed the following
teachers for the coming year: Miss
Artie Hobbs for the grammar depart
ment: Miss Carrie Stradal, interme-
date; Mrs. May Greenwood, primary.
Miss Hobbs has been employed in our
public schools, is we'll qualified and
has given general satisfaction. 1t
was, therefore, expected that she
would get her old place. Miss Carrie
Stradal has taught several terms in
our county and has been successful
She has many of the elements of a
successful teacher and we predict
that the Judgment of the board will
be fully endorsed by the patrons of
the school. at least before the school
year closes. Mrs. May Greenwood
who was employed to teach the pri-
mary department has been engaged
number of years in the same capacity
and has taught in some of the best
schools in the west, among others. for
five years in Denver and one year in
Lawrence. Her recommendation
are of the very highest. There were
a number of applications and from
good teachers. but there were not
places enough to give all employment
who were deserving and entirely COM
potent. The principal has not yet
been selected. The annual school
meeting decided in substance to en-
ploy woman for that department
and it may take some time to make
a choice. The school term will be
eight months and will probably begin
sometime in September.

FROM the Dispatch we infer that
the Phillipsburg school election was
in many respects the counterpart of
our own. The women of PhillipSburg,
were dissatisfied with last years prin-
cipal, were anxious for a change. and
to accomplish it they attended in
sufficient numbers to carry a motion
to employ a woman principal. Two
of the board immediately resigned
and their successors were elected.
Knowing that they had carried their
point. it was then attempted to re-
consider the matter of employing a
woman principal This finally car
ried. leaving the board uninstructed.
The Dispatch says: "While the meet
ing was spirited and very hotly con-
tested yet the best of feeling pre-
vailed throughout, and we anticipate
that no serious damage has been done
the school, although it looked for
awhile as though quite bitter feel
ing might be felt after the meeting
adjourned.

Chicago, April AL grain rates

We're figured today on the basis of II
cents. The Grand Trunk, which made
that rate first Of all, was reported dur
ing the day as having given notice Of
an advance within ten days later il
was announced that the Michigan Cen
trail would also make Il cent rate.
The general opinion is that rates will
go still lower when navigation opens
but the roads cannot make train ex-
penSeS II the tariff Is put much under
the present figures. None of the roads
with the exception of the Grand Trunk
have admitted the making of the l.
cent rate but all. are doing it. East
bound shipments last week amounted
TO 60.5S3 tons against 81 .l2S FOR the pre-
ceeding week, and 95.1Ss for the cor
responding week of last year.

IT'S FULL OF INTEREST.
Lincoln's Coat and Other Rare Relics at
Presbyterian Church.


This morning the art loan exhibit at
the First Presbyterian church will open
1t is a collection from the various
Presbyterian church people of the city
and their friends. 1t is certainly a
great display Notwithstanding the fact
that when a reporter for the Eagle
saw 1t last night he was informed that
not more than half the curios We're
then in display.
The exhibit is being held in the rear
room of the Presbyterian church, i'm
mediately back of the pulpit.
On entering the first thing that at
tracts the attention of the visitor is the
d. \. Mitchell collection of geological
relics. These fill two cases and many
of the relics were brought from the
Holy land, some of them associated
with King Solomon's famous temple.
This collection will be found especially
interesting to the Masonic fraternity.
Next to them on the west side are
some war relics, especially the accoutre
mentS of Prof. Naylor of the Lewis
academy Directly north of this is the
exhibit of Rev David Winters, which
is probably the most interesting col
lection of rarities in this section of the
state, if not the best individual collec-
ton in Kansas. In this there are
many books over 500 years old including
one Bible published in 1549. This eX-
hibit is not confined to books by any
means for there are many pretty ar
ticles of china ware from 100 10 175
years old In addition there are a
score or more of other curiCS many of
them associated with the early history
of New England. The next exhibit in
point of interest is that of Mrs. j. N.
Naylor and is principally made up of
articles which evidence the artistic
genius of the Japanese. These were
sent from Japan by Prof. MAYORS sis
ter who is a missionary in that cOun-
try, which is rapidly developing from
Paganism no Christianity. 1t would
be idle to attempt to enumerate the
articles in this collection, or describe
them. They must be seen. The liter
airy museum is extensive and contains
some things that are very rare. One
paper contains an account of the death
of George Washington. The first paper
published in Wichita is also there as
we'll as the first issue of the Eagle.
which has been preserved by AIR. j. p.
Davidson.
There are a dozen show cases con-
tanning relics from all countries and it
might be said Of all ages. Rev. David
Winters has a knife that was used as a
coin over 1900 years ago. Prof. Shull
has sent curiosities from Alaska Fish
hooks from the Fiji islands, head
dresses from the South sea islands,
petrified shoes from the northern re-
gions, coins from South America, lamp
from the lost city of Pompeii, trinkets
from the Sandwich islands, relices Of
early Indian history and sundry things
from Mexico can all be seen.
On the wall is hung a coat made for
Abraham Lincoln and connected with
it there is quite romance. gen.

at Daniels dry goods store, had his
preliminary hearing before Judge Hat
ton yesterday and was bound over TO
the district court in the sum Of $500
Douglass was alarmed lest he
would be tried on the charge Of resist

Bedford Wood were the only officers on

a very modest story of the part they
had taken in the exciting episode.
The officers evidently intend 10 take
the case Of themselves and have no de-
sire 10 aTTaign a man IN court toT re-

Harry Sutton told how they had
