the truth, reveals corrupt system
Of selling schools by Trustee Pruitt,
OF Jefferson township, which may
yet cause him considerable trouble,
# prosecuted criminally, for bribery
or extortion.
Mike Donahoe, who taught 4
school in that township last winter.
testified that Pruitt would not hire
him to teach, although he was pc
tlticned for by the patrons of the
school, unless he would pay $50 as
a bride Jacob Sappenfield was
made the go-between. When Don
ahoe gave Sappenield an order on
Pruitt for the $50, Pruitt was hut
short distance away, and Sappen
field went to him and showed him
the order; Immediately Pruitt, the
Trustee, employed Donahoe to teach
a school. 1t was intimated. fur
Their, that he had received price
for each school in the township,
thus making nice sum for pin
money.
When the term of school expired
Donahoe, under advice of counsel, |
refused to accept the $50 order,
which had been turned over to Pru-
1T, as part Of his payment-hence
The suit. Other witnesses swore
hat Sappenfield had told them he
vas agent TOR Pruitt to sell the
schools to teachers. This Pruitt
ienied, and Sappentield claimed the
rider and money was due him Just
Y for his 'intloonce' with Pruitt in
obtaining the school for Donahoe.
Such system of swindling can
ut be too severely condemned bv

last about daylight, Mrs. Catharine
Schnarr. Of Boone township, was
found head-down in a rain barrel
half full Of water, dead. She was
warm when taken out, but efforts TO
restore her failed. She was an old
lady, the widow OF John Schnarr
who died several years ago, and was
living with one Of her sons. Mr.
Everhard Schnarr, about mile
west OF Portersville. She had been
Respondent for some time. and had
threatened suicide, but was closely
watched. She had turned tub
bottom side up at the side Of the
rain barrel, and placed block Of
wood to step on at the side Of the
tub, and in this way was enabled 10

of which the poet sings? Notwith-
standing the undeniable refinement of
all this, there are feers. 1 fear not to
prophesy that the preiudices against
the elegant mode will go the way of
the prejudice against parting a mans

From che Chicago Tribune.
Colonel Blank was a big. pompous
man, as 1t 'bdhooves one TO be who
aspires to a military tide without the
drawbacks of a military life. He was
always calling peoples attention to his
marked facial resemblance to James c..

And peopie-bll-naltured people, that Is
thought the colonel had vivid i'm
aglnation. There was a prodigal.ty
about his physique THAT one somehow
expected to see repeated in the colo
nel's character. And to hear the colo
ned hold forth from the end of the
clearinghouse table over which he
presided. the unsophisticated boarder
would never have doubted that such a
reasonable expectation would be real
lied on closer acquaintance.
What, then, was this unsophis ticated
ones surprise to hear the doughty coll
onel, evidently in high good humor
with himself, say one day:

That the colonel would stoop to earn
a nickel was remarkable: that he
shoufd boast of IT was incredible.

/ let people drop their nickels into the
chute which the company provides for
that purpose. Awful nuisance, that
chute. But it's not my business to play

And the colonel called for another
cup of tea and the unsophisticated one
gasped to think of THE smallness OF

able man should in some single re-
spect refrain from following the fash
ion. He should pick out one Item OF
his attire. say his hat or his tie, and
show that ne retains his independence
of the mode by his lack of orthodoxy
therein. In the glorious days OF Prince
Regent George. gentlemen did thus.
Why was the custom allowed TO
lapse? There is. to my mind, a certain
charm in the sight of a man faultless-
ly fashionable with the exception of
his collar. which Is worn after some
fashion peculiar to himself. This in
culcates the lesson that we are not
