1t behOOves every citizen in city, town and
country to keep posted on the stirring events
that will occur in this country and in the Old
World within the next nine months. The re-
suits will affect all, personally, directly indi-
rectly. This nation is on the eve of the most ex-
citing presidential campaign in its history.
European politics are in very complicated
state and scientists are applying their discOv-
cries to many lines that will produce startlingly
new things.
To keep abreast with the world one should
read, in addition to the local or county paper, a
live metropolitan newspaper, such as the Twice
a-Week Republic of st. Louis. 1t is the most
progressive journal in the United States, and in
each issue it gives the latest political news of all
parties in the field, the latest general news of
the world and many valuable special features
besides. This model newspaper is delivered
twice-aw week by mail for only 81 year, or less
than one cent a copy.
The price of the Daily and Sunday Republic
has recently been reduced to only Sc year by
mail.

The subject of the Reverend Albert's discourse
Sunday morning was Reading" The chaplain
separated the topic into Why read? What to
read? and How to read. Under the first he
stated that persons read to acquire knowledge,
and culture, and to know how to put things. In
answering the second question he cautioned the
audience to avoid the habit of reading newspa-
pers exclusively, but to read them only to obtain
facts and note the progress of the world, and adj
vised them to read the biographies of great men;
to study history, not only of the United States,
but of all the countries of the world both ancient
and modern, in order to understand our own in
fiction and poetry he recommended such authors
as Kingsley, Elliott. Dickens, and NIuhlbach;
Shakespeare, Dante, and Milton; for recreation
and amusement, Cooper and Mark Twain. He
requested everyone to read intelligently and
critically, to weigh and ponder the matter and
not accept writer's conclusions as infallible.

Recently strOng-minded mother, discovering
that her daughter was about to elOpe with an
Objectionable sutton, donned her husbands coat
and trousers and boarded the same train taken
by the unsuspecting lovers. The trip occurring
in the daytime she took seat in the smoking
car and allowed the fugitives to complete their
journey in blissful ignorance of pursuit. When
the lovers left the train upon reaching their des-
tinatiOn, this Spartan mother, throwing away
the cigar she had been pretending to smoke,
cody took possession of her offspring, the other
actor in the drama being too dumbfounded to do

Professor C. Aylard principal of the city high
school, and also principal of the night school at
the prison for the past three years, having
received more advantageous offers from
several other cities, declined a reelection
to the position of principal of the high school for

the able and efficient services of Professor Ay-
lard, and Mr.. C. E. Beckman, now teacher of
mathematics in the high school, was chosen to
succeed Professor Aylard, the compensation be-
ing fixed at 5000 per annum, a reduction of $500.

At the Minnesota state prison, on holidays,
the prisoners are allowed to mingle together in
the park within space enclosed by ropes, and
can then indulge in conversation, in sports or
any other diversion. The guards are doubled
and trebled on such occasions. On Sundays the
prisoners attend divine service, Protestant and
Catholic clergymen officiating On alternate Sun
days.-Lansing (Kan.) News.
The above is correct in far as it refers to the
liberty in the park, but whoever was Editor
Higgins informant must have drawn upon his
imagination when he stated that the guards are
doubled and trebled on such occasions. There
has never been even an additional keeper en-
ployed on holidays, and it speaks well for the
mems good conduct that never since the priv
lege was granted has it been abused by an in
fraction of the rules.

FIVE MEN KILLED.
Train Went Through TrestIe and
Fell Seventy-Five Feet.

MITCHELL, KY, April 12.-Five men were
killed and two others fatally injured iE a
bridge accident which happened near Bed
ford Junction, this morning, on the Belt
railroad, on which the stone from the Bed
ford quarries is transferred from one road
to another. A train broke through the tres
tie. The dead are: Charles Ogden, con-
6uctor; Sherman Carpenter, fireman. Warren
Leonard, of Walton KY; Masterson and Bev-
ins. The injured are: Charles Davis,
Engineer Menzer. The train consisted of an
engine AMI two gravel cars, and was running
at high rate of speed at the time of the
accident. While passing over what is known
as the standard trestle the last span col
lapsed. The locomotive was at that time be-
yond the trestle and had it not been pulled
from the track by the weight of the cars be-
hind it, the men on the engine would have
escaped. AS it was, the two cars went down
with the trestle into a ditch seventy-five feet
deep, and the engine, pulled backward in
spite of the momentum of the train rolled
over and plunged down the embankment.
All of those on the train were employees of
the road and were engaged in ballasting the
track with gravel between Mitchell and Bed
ford.
