USED HIN ROUGH.
A Dillon Young Man Gets in Trouble
in Chicago.

James Rowe, whose father lives
near Dillon, started from Calmet,
Mich, last Sunday to come here on a
visit. He was in Chicago waiting for
a train and had $3.50 in bills in his
inside vest pocket. While looking at
the high buildings two men approach
ed and got into conversation. After
awhile a paddock was seen on the
walk. One Of the strangers picked
it up and was about to throw itaway.
Hold on" interposed his compan.
ion, "lll bet you IS that l can open
that lock-"
The bet was made and the men
tried to persuade Rowe to take share
in the wager, but he discretely re-
fused. He was persuaded to hold the
stake, however, and while the men
were struggling with the lock Rowe
put the money in his pocket.
The bet was still in doubt when an
Notwithstanding individual approach
ed the trio and asked the men what
they were doing. The two strangers
Immediately abandoned the paddock
question and turning upon Rowe
declared that he had swindled them.
"He's got some money Of mine,'
said one of the men, land | want to
have him arrested,
"Well, I'm an officer" said the
newcomer. 81 guess we'd better set
tie the matter by searching this man"
Rowe returned the stake money and
submitted to a search by the "oficer"
who was a confederate Of the men.
The 'oflicer" handed $3.50 to one Of
men who skipped. Then he tried to
get away but Rowe chased him
through yards and over fences until
the man fell down and sprained his
ankle. He was turned over to the
police and found to be an old offender.
Rowe came on Kansasward and will
prosecute the man when he returns.

order from the court for the receiver

filing of a suit by John Krapf against
the Ehrsam Machine Co. for $999.4S

TEACHERS HERE.
EDUCATIONAL PROBLEMS DIS.
CUSSED ABLY.
Three Strong Papers and Lecture
Are the Leading Features Of the
Program-Dr. Blayney Talks on
Education.

The County Teachers association
was in session Saturday at the high
school rooms for the second meeting
Of the school year. Bad roads in the
country made the attendance some
what smaller than it might otherwise
have been hut it was ample for a full
discussion Of the topics assigned as
it was. Supt. Humbargar was elect
ed president at the last meeting and
presided at today's session.
The session opened with an inter
esting paper by Mrs. J. E. Keel on
"Our Social Relations" in which the
work Of the teacher in the social life
Of the district outside the school
room was portrayed and its import
ance shown. Miss Wilson of Abilene
and Mrs. Wishard of Solomon dis
cussed the paper.
"School Discipline" by Supt. w. ".
Ramey Of Herington was the subject
Of carefully prepared paper which
handled the topic we'll The founda-
ton Of the school as well as Of society,
said Mr.. Ramey, is law. The teach
er's authority within the limits OF the
statutes is supreme and absolute.
But the ability to govern well must
rest with himself and in himself. 1t
must be embodied in him, either
naturally or acquired. 1t is the
prime essential of teacher. Many
fail in governing because they govern
too much and make the pupil a cast
iron model without sympathy or vo-
lition. Discipline is not to be the
object point but the means to an end.
Fences are necessary on the farm but
the cultivation of fields brings riches.
A code of 81 will' and "You shall"
does not make good school. Train
ing, not telling, is the object Of school
life. Mr.. Ramey stood up for a good
old.fashioned licking in some cases.
"When all other means fail to secure
obediInce, said he, 81 am still in
favor Of corporal punishment and |
believe the teacher seldom reaches the
point where he can afford to relax his
hold on the pupils in the way OF strict
discipline. 1t is necessary sometimes
in the community and | believe that
in the public schools it is necessary
also occasionally to exercise severity.
The pupil should know, he suggests,
that there is an iron hand beneath
the silken glove. A school becomes
like the teacher and his first duty is to
discipline himself
V. +. Rugh of Abilene and II. 5.
Ambrose of Enterprise discussed the
paper, endorsing its excellent views.
Supt. j. H. Niesley of the Abilene
schools had an exhaustive paper on
"The Education Phase of the Cuban
Question:" showing the effect of the
sturdy effort of the island for indie
pendence on the thoughts of the
world and expressing sympathy with
the Cubans in their fight. Principal
0. S. Davis discussed this paper.
Rev. DR.. Blayney closed the after
noon with helpful lecture on the
subject, 1.-The Way to Educate is to
Educate"
The Abilene high school furnished
music for the meeting. The next
session will be in March.

change the time Of beginning Of a

chairman of a committee Olive which
is trying to get it through the legis-

be far better for the incoming super
intendent as be could begin with the
opening Of the school year while the
outgoing one would have better
chance to get something to do in

THE WEST AND THE TARIFF

long COW which grazes in the west and is
milked in the east"
The course the Dingley bill is taking

truth of this quaint bit of word painting.

UTOPIA IN THE SOUTH SEAS

He was very much of a philosopher
who discovered that the pursuit of hap
piness is one of the inalienable rights of
man. Even the term liberty. by usage,
conveys the idea of restriction by ma
tionalization, but the pursuit of hap
piness suggests a freedom as untram-
meled as that of the wandering sea
bird. The poetry Of this sentiment of
wild freedom is sometimes irresistible.
1t impels to acts that are often open to
criticism, as departures from the recog-
nized standards of common sense. But
the visionary is in no manner discon-
certed by such adverse criticism. He
will promptly admit the fact and sug-
gest that he is impelled by a sentiment
that far transcends common sense
The latest instance of this tendency
in operation are the colonies that have
already gone and others that are pre-
pairing to start from San Francisco to
the Solomon islands. This group lies
in the Malayan archipelago just south
of the equator. The islands are said to
have a good climate and to possess great
fertility. In addition to this they are
sufficiently remote from the artificial
tiles and extravagances of our crush
ing civilization to satisfy the most ex-
acting utopian enthusiast. One notice
able feature about the emigrants who
have determined upon this scheme of
colonization is that they are largely per-
sons of means and culture. They expect
to lead an ideal life, close to nature, un-
trammeled by idle conventionalism and
unvexed by social jealousies or business
competition. No doubt the consumma-
ton would be an ample reward for the
apparent sacrifice if only it could be
been universally unfortunate. The re-
turn to nature seems to be prohibited,
as a reversal of the evolutionary plan,
and the doom of failure seems to be the
inevitable penalty.
Bun considered even as a normal emil
grafton scheme, apart from any senti-
| mental idea, it is still somewhat strange,
| If these islands possess the natural ad-
vantages with which they are accredited
that they should not, long ago, have
been colonized from the overcrowdsd
nations of Europe or from the swarming
| millions in Asia. However, it has been
reserved for American enterprise to
make the effort and there is no doubt
that the pursuit of happiness is the in
| centive. This country has taught the
world some lessons in practical sociology
already, and it would be crowning
triumph if we should now evolve a sue
| cessful Utopia.

EvADINa THE QUESTION

Advocates of a higher tariff on wool
never miss an opportunity to interpret
any change in the price, to prove the
correctness of their position. No mat

are always ready with their Il told you
so," and point to the Boston market as
evidence, when, as a matter of fact, the
Boston market may show exactly the
opposite, Just as the reader chooses to
interpret it.
When the Mckinley tariff went into
effect it was thought that the price of
wool would go up permanently, or at
east indefinitely. 1t did go up-as mat
ter of speculation-for a short time;
then it commenced to recede until, when
it was replaced by the Wilson tariff, ii
was the lowest in the history of the
country. Since the Wilson tariff has
been in force, the wool market has
commenced to gain strength. in face
of the depression to business in general,
and the great financial disturbances
brought about by the struggle between
the gold and silver factions.
If the report from the Boston wool
market shows anything it demonstrates
a prosperous year for the wool trade,
with large increase in sales (SS,oOO,oOO
