ole. He says that he is certain that
at least 80 per cent of the people
there are for Mckinley for president.
The sentiment was practically unan-
imous against Bryan and the "free'''
principles he represented. Mr..
Harding said the grain buyers IN
that part of the state were having
great difficulty in getting money to
use in moving crops. In some
places farmers were unable to sell
their barley, which is an important
crop there, because the buyers could
not get money from the usual sources
Of supply. The reason is that peo-
pie having money will not lend it
with the threat of being repaid in a
deprecated money.

OUR SCHOOLS.
Points to be Considered at the
Opening Of the School
Year.

Our city schools resumed opera
tit,ns Tuesday MOrning and fu.l
preparations have been made for
thorough and progressive work. a
strong aud well-trained corps Of
instruc tors has been engaged and
every effort will be employed during
the cOming year to maintain the
work upon a practical scientific
basis.
Yet this end cannot be reached
without the hearty cooperation Of
parents and pupils.
1t III the earnest wish Of Supt.
Thatc that all pupils will be
prompt in attendance ut the begin
ming aud will adhere to the same
policy during the entire year.
Successful work ON the part OF
pupils. and final promotions to
higher grades, must necess arily de-
pend upon the pupils themselves, and
unless both parents and pupils lend
support in securing regular daily
attendance and faithful application
to duty, teachers can accomplish but
little. There IL no one factor which
does more to retard class work and
to check class progress than frequent
absence or tardiness.
The promotion OF our schools to
the first class list carries with 1t
additional responsibilities and these
can only he met by faithful and I'M
remitting labor.
Copies Of the courses to be pursued
in the high school department will
be supplied each OF the high school
students on entrance and they, with
their parents, are requested to study
them closely In order that they
choose such work as will meet direct
ly their special needs, and prepare
them more fully for the work they
intend to follow after leaving the
high school. Students who have Il
desired end to attain must work
with Il purpose and the foundation
must be laid ut the beginning.
In the management OF the schools
the same rules and regulations will
obtain that have been in force for the
past two years.
Pupils under six years Of age Will
not he admitted, and all intending
to enter school for the first time will
he admitted to the first primary
gra'le only during the first two
weeks of the first and second semes-
tiers. This ruling is necessary in
order that the primary classes may
not be continually interrupted by
the entrance OF beginning pupils.
Pupils prepared to pursue work in
classes abO> the = class Of the first
grade will be admit ted and classified
ut any time during the year Ivy call
ing at the superintendent once In
the Central building.
The ward lines dividing attendance
upon the various schools correspond
with the boundaries OF the various
voting precincts Of the city, and
pupils below the high school will he
expected to attend in their respective
wards. where proper classes have
been organized, uEless special per-
mission and transfer cards have been
secured from the superintendent.
Teachers OF one ward will not be
permitted to accept pupils from
another ward unless provided with
transfer cards.
Supt. Thatcher will be found in his
office from $3.50 to 900 a. III. Ond to
S p. m. each school day OF the year,
and will he pleased to meet and
consult with parents and pupils
upon all matters pertaining to

Parker town. was shot and instantly
killed by tue accidental discharge OF
a shot gun he was carrying, at aoout
2 O'Clock Sunday aftern,st,n.
Carlson was riding in wagon
with Otto johnson, John Broberg
and the lNtter's son hoy, about u
years of a &c, named Fred. 49,
What caused the weapon to dls-
charge neither Of the three persons
who were with him can explain.
They state that they had been to the
farm OF Herman >Pantzke, IN the
town M Culdrum, and were Oh their
return to their homes near Twin
Lakes in the town of Pike Creek.
When about q mile from Mr..
Pantzke's place Carlson emerged
from the brush ON one side @'f the
road. carrying d. gun, and asked 1or
Il ride. They consented aad ne
climbed into the wagon. Mt. John
son and Mr.. Stroberg were sitting In
the front part of the wagon on a
spring seat. and the boy was sitting
on board behind them. When
Carlson got in the wagon he stood
up behind the boy. The boy asked
him II the gun was loaded a0d he
said thatit was. but that it was
perfectly safe.
The boy asked him to unload the
gun and take Il seat beside him ON
the board. He replied that he would
rather not, AS he was not going to
ride far, being in search of a team OF
horses that had strayed away.
He had not ridden a half mile,
when. as they were crossing a cut
vert, the gun was discharged, strik-
ing him in the upper portion OF the
face and forehead. and the entire top
of his head was blown off. When
the gun discharged hefell back in the
wagon, and, of course, was instantly
killed.
None of the parties saw in what
manner the weapon was discharged,
but their theory is that he was
standing with the butt of the gun
leaning on the side of the wagon,
and that when the horses started up
the gun slipped, and the hammers
struck the wagon. Both barrels OF
the shot gun were loaded with shells
containing five drains OF powder and
one and one-half ounces Of Nos shot
But one cartridge was exploded, but
the other showed the marks of the
hammer, indicating that the gun
had struck with more force on one
side than the other.
The persons who were with him at
the time Of his death did not remove
his body from where it fell, but
covered it up and drove to this city
and the body was placed In Harting
& Sons morgue and the coroner
instructed them to be here ut the
inquest which was begun ats O'Clock
this morning.

who know the deceased. II.

ROT ABOUT REVOLUTION.

While Senator Tillman was jabbins
his pitchfork into Grover Cleveland. he
said some exceedingly foolish things
In the beginning of his speech he up
braided the other senators for being
the tools and autOmata of their parties
A few sentences further along be
speaks bOastfully of himself deliver
ing the vote of South Carolina to some
other man" That is, Senator Tillman
upbraiding men for their party ale
glance, bragS in the same breath OF
their allegiance to him and his party
Or, in other words, he makes the bold
assumption, that his judgment is su,
perior to all other men.
Tillman with thousands Of others is
attempting TO break down an obstinate
stand for gold monometalliSm. He
spoke savagely of Cleveland and Car
Isle and Of the two national parties,
which. perhaps, all were not undeserv-
ing. But he wound up his speech with
the hackneyed, fraZzled, threadbare,
u
tion in this country.
The mOney-changers are in the tenn
pie of our liberties and have bought the
sentinels on guard. 1t may be too
late. God grant it may not be so; but
this great republic can only be saved
from the miserieS of revolution and in
teInecine strife in the near future by
its citizens casting aside blind allie
glance to party and marshaling them
selves under the banner of jefferson s
Democracy and Lincoln's Republican
ism" These are his remarks. "MiS-
cries of revolution" and ''in the near
future"
This is the same old Populist clap
trap. This government is founded on
individual suffrage. In all the adj
vanced states the individual voter, can
vote and does vote as he pleases. If
he doesn't like policy, he can vote
against it. If party is false TO its
platform. he can vote against il. 1t is
4 high. true. honest thing that all the
chicanery cannot buy off, or swerve or
smother wave Of popular Indignation
or appreciation in this country. If a
majority of the people want silver, they
can get it. If the minority tries at a
vote, and failing there, rebels, they do
so at their peril. But they would not
do such Il thing.
Talk of revolution is rot. The cause
of silver is just. 1t is right and nee
eSSary and in the end will win. But
it needs converts now, and babble and
spulterations about revolutions" will
not tend TO make them
