NOTORIOUS FRED GRAFTON.

Fred Grafton, who won distinction
and a term in the state penitentiary
for the killing of Mabel Swartz in Des
Moines, four years ago, is again in
trouble. The authorities have him in
Jail at Council Bluffs for robbing q
travelling man Of his diamonds.
Crafton's record is we'll known to the
people of Des Moines and Sioux City
He halls from Atlantic where he has a
faithful little wife. But he does not
like quiet life and so four years ago
took up with Mabel Swartz, the daugh.
ter of ex-Mayor Swartz of Sioux City,
and took her with him through the
country as his wife. While in Des
Moines the two were close friends of
Lou Foley, Ida Jamison and Jim KAY
anagh, and while in their company
Grafton one night demonstrated his
ability as flOurisher of a big As calibre
revolver. 1t was discharged and the
bullet entered the SwartZ girls body
and death soon resulted. Grafton
claimed that it was an accident but he
was convicted after long trial before
Judge c. Holmes, District Attorney W.
A. Spurrier conducting the prosecution,
and sent to the penitentiary. All
through the trials his wife supported
him, and when the supreme court re-
versed the case she went to the peni-
Tertiary and escorted him home But
he has not reformed according to re-
port. Chief of Detectives George Nc
Mutt received picture of Grafton
yesterday as taken by the Council
Bluffs police. 1t shows that Grafton
has been dissipating to great extent
and that his good resolves made when
ne was released have fallen by the
waySide.-LeGder.

desire to excel ones fellows" which is nothing
but emulation.
II by emulation we mean a comparison OF
ones self by ones self lie, a comparison OF our
present ability with that of our ideal, with q
desire to surpass ones own ability, we willingly

which make scholars studious and classes

But If we understand by emulation desire to
surpass ones fellows no matter whether it be
by our advancement or their fall, think it best
not to stimulate this spirit of selflove by re-
wards for as Compare says: "Rewards are
the best means of verifying the spirit of emula-
tion."
The best of rewards, says writer, 'sare those
which Invested of material value call into play
the delicate sentiments without exciting any
idea OF personal interest," and this, it will be
seen, comes very flttingly uuder the third (3)
motive, for further on he says: "Of such are
the words OF appreciation and commentator Of
the teacher"
However effective the words of praise and the
smile OF approval they should be used only when
they Will awaken in the pupil the consciousness
of a duty done.
The Willingness to study because of the COM
prehenSlon of ones duty to himself, to his fell
lows and to his God is the most important, for
1t Is the one that VIII bring about the best re-

EDUCATIONAL NOTES.
ID. p. REPASS.

Teachers meeting in Brayton next
Saturday, February I'd. A good time
is expected.
A teachers convention will be held
in Atlantic February 9Th and 9th, for
the teachers of Audubon and Cass
counties. A good attendance is de-
sired. All teachers attending will be
| entertained free. If you intend going
write to city Supt. Lamson, Atlantic.
four pupils. The school house has on
ly seating capacity for about thirty-five;
something should be done to relieve
both teacher and pupils.
E. A. Armstrong, teacher at No. 2
Hamlin, has learned the secret of teach
ing his pupils to recognize words readi-
ly at sight, an accomplishment pos
sessed by only few.
The district paying the best salaries
to teachers may have the best teachers.
They do not always get them, but the
fault is with the sub director. The
poor teachers will apply for the schools
where they pay the best salaries, just
as well as the good ones. They often
get their application in first, and if the
director employs the first one making
application, the chances are strongly
in favor of his getting poor teacher.
Keep salaries up, and then insist on
having good teacher whether he be
the first or last to apply, will be good
motto for directors this year.
We hope for a good attendance at
the meeting in Gray the 10Th. See pro-
gram elsewhere.
Miss Jessie NJ Shaw, formerly a
teacher of this county, is teaching in
the graded schools in Dover, Oklahoma,
and meeting with merited success.
Teachers will receive blanks in time
to report at the close of the term. Two
blanks for report to secretary will be
mailed to each teacher, fill out both,
and file one with the secretary and one
with the county superintendent.
Are you preparing work for the fair ?
We would like to see every school in
the county represented at the next
fair.
The institute this year will begin
August 18th, and continue two weeks
The Review School will begin June "a,
and continue seven weeks lacking two
days. We will dismiss for the Fourth
of July and the day following. Terms
will be the same as last year. Five
dollars for the full term or ninety cents
per week.

REWARDS.

(By o. j. MOrgensOn, ElkhOrn Coilege)
In consideration of the formation of individual
character, the motives are many by which a
child may be stimulated to eXertiOn: % by the
desire to get something or the hope of some
tangible reward: (2) by the desire of destinc-
ton and the wish to excel his fellows: (3) by
the desire to win appreciation from parents and
teacher; or az by the simple wish to improve
and to do right because it is right.
In order that we may decide which motives
are of the highest moral worth a careful study
of each will be necessary.
Under the first we have what is known as
prizes, things of material value set before the
pupil for the purpose of exciting an interest in
study. But are the impulses thus born morally
efficient? The best defence of a method is its
own results, so let us consider the products of
| prize system.
o. Prizes give undue prominence to a COM
paratively unworthy object. The gold medal,
the book or whatever the prize may be, is in
the chd's mind as he purSueS his lessons and
he studies only to recite well, for it is success
| not effort that wins.
| C) The pursuit of an object which only one
can obtain engenGerS a spirit of rivalry among
the pupils which must end in eXultaton on the
| poib VI NlLlICl Oll Illt
part of the loOsers.
| g. 1t stimulates only the few while the many
remain Indifferent Let prize be offered to
any class for scholarship and it will be found
that there will, after a few days, be but two or
three who are to become the competitors while
the rest remain indifferent. Even if the prize is
nothing more than head marks in a spelling
class, it is very frequently found that some are
as content tie be at the foot as near the head.
a. There is much difficulty in doing strict
justice in the awarding of prizes owing to the
different external facilities which the competit-
ors enjoy for getting the lessons, and improper
means may be employed in aspiring for the
promised object.
| One may have all the outside time to his dis
posal and also means by which to overcome the
difficult points in his studies. means such as
access to a good library or parental aid or both,
while another must work during the hours in
which school is not in session.
| o. The greatest objection, perhaps, to the
awarding of material prizes are these: They
reward success rather than effort; talent rather
than worth.
One child will get his lesson in much less time
than another, yet he wins the prize due to his
natural talenD of which he receives but little
good, not enjoying the pleasant sensation in
consciousness of a duty done and thus Stimu,
lated in efforts to worthy actions which are des-
titute of material worth.
The influence of good example Of studiOus
pupils is lost by the prize system. And pupils
who have labOrCd under this system as their
chief motive seldom, if ever, continue study in
after life. Our greatest men have not been
those who studied only for the sake of winning
the best prize at college, but they have been
those who felt the joy Of acquisition and hence
studied to kn ow, not to Tecite,

WHAT WILL HELP THEM.

The labor commissioner of South
Dakota recently sent out blanks to
many farmers of that state asking for
on conditions concerning their con-
dition and prosperity. TO the question,
"What in your opinion would better
the condition of the farmers and labor
ing menu" among many answers the
following very pertinent replies were
received:
A sudden change of administration
with high protection for American in
duStries.
The only thing that l know of is to
quit going in debt, raise less grain and
more stOck-either cattle, sheep or
hogs.
A high protective tariff would bene-
fit the farmers-and Mckinley for
president would help the wage Garner.
/ think it would be better for us
farmers to raise more fodder crops and
keep more COWS.
If the merchants would reduce their
prices i. would better the condition of
The farmers good deal, and a republi-
can administration with Mckinley at
its head.
l believe if the farmers of South Da-
kOta would stop raising so much
wheat and raise more stock and make
farming more diversified, they would
do better. l also believe the free coin.
age of the American product of silver
would be great benefit. l think that
change in our commercial laws would
make business more stable and per,
manent. Depression in business
affects the farmer as well as the bust
ness man.
l think if the farmers would organize
in farm clubs to sell their products
and by implements from first hands
and keep their organization out of
politics and learn their boys to shun
the saloons their condition would soon
be improved.
l think if farmers would attend to
their work a little closer and not sleep
SO much they would do better.
/ think l will better my condition by
doing better farming and live within
my means until out of debt.
i am under the impression that some
kind of irrigation would help the farm
ers OF this part of the country greatly
A little less extravagant Legislation
and a little more circulating medium
believe, would help the condition OF
The farmers.
Artesian wells and better govern.
nent will better the condition of the
farmer.
think the tariff, as Mckinley left it
and gold and silver for money at the
ratio of IL of silver to of gold would
fix us out in good shape.
Stock of all kinds pays better here
than raising wheat. If farmers would
pay more attention to mixed farming
than politics they would be better off
! think the farmers, those here espec
tally could better their condition nv
going into more mixed farming.

barley and hogs and sheep, and less
wheat, their condition would improve

THE OCHELTREE CASE.

The supreme court gave the follow
ing decision in the Ocheltree case
Wednesday:
G. M. Ocheltree appellant VS.. Chicago
Il North Western Railway Company.
From Audubon District Court; A. B.
Thornell, judge. Affirmed; opinion by
Justice Kline.
PLAINTIFFS wife was injured by being
thrown from a buggy, the horses hay
ing been frightened by a railway train.
She was driving along side the track,
when she saw the train coming and
whipped up the horses. The engineer
thought she was going to race for the
crossing and he whiStled for brake S
But she was hurrying to reach gate
near the crossing, so that she could
drive into an open field and escape
from the danger of having her horses
frightened. She reached the gate and
drove into the field before the train ar.
rived at the crossing. The engineer
seeing the danger passed, whistled
twice, the signal for "off brakes" and
this is what frightened the team sc
that it ran away. The plaintiffs claim
is that the defendant was neg
ligent and responsible for the accident
because the whistle was blown within
hearing of the horses; that the engineer
should have exercised more care anC
should never blow his whistle when he
had reason to know that horses were
within hearing to be frightened. The
court hold that there is nothing in this
claim, and that it would be unjust anC
unreasonable to establish such rule
of law against railway companies, anC
would interfere with the operation o.
trains in many places.

4 number of these instruments were

satisfaction, which numerous testimOn-

Audubon and Shelby counties will
show. The Fiscus instrument was
thoroughly tested by the inventor in
his own herd and in the herds of his

And the great success of the instru-

known is one of the strong proofs of
it's value. 1t is one of the boasts of
the inventor, that while every instru-

Little need be said of the reliability
of Adam Fiscus. He is an old resident
of Audubon County and is know as
one of the cOunty's most reliable farm

made in the same Openness and good
