Charles Kean Capped 1t.

When Charles Kean was playing the
part of Richard Ill his fearful grim
aces in character paralyzed all the
other actors with fright. much to his
amusement.
On one occasion a new man had to
take the part of the sentinelwho awoke
Richard. When asked, "Who is
there" he had to say: - 'Tis |, my
lord: the village cock has twice pro-
claimed the hour of morn.
But as Kean was making such fear
ful grimaces and scowling at him. the
poor fellow forgot his part, and could
only stammer: - 'Tis |, my lord: it's
!, my lord: the-village cock. 'Tis !,
my lord. the-the village cock
By this time there was a decided tit
ter all over the house. and Kean then
said: Then why in the mischief don't
you crow" which needless to say,
brought down the house.-Tit-Bits.

of the civil war. who served under him
in the 18th Illinois Cavalry, which

Fewer but Larger schools.

The National Educational AssOcia-
ton. recently sitting in Milwaukee.
urges educational authorities to favor
the consolidation of public schools
rather than a division of them. The
educators say it is better to carry the
scholar to the school than to bring
school house to the. scholar. The OBJ
ject is larger and better schools, long
er maintained each year.
1t is difficult problem in rural dis
tricts, especially in the Southern states.
1t is difficult enough in many Northern
states, for there are sparsely settled
districts in every state. The new plan
looks to central schools and transpor-
tatiOn TO and from them. That is, a
man is to be paid. for example. to
drive from certain points ofthe school,
and return, carrying all the children
who present themselves. The trans
pOrtation fits of course the circum-
stances of the given case. In this way
it is hoped to establish one good CEN
trail school in the place of perhaps
half a dozen not nearly so good in
any respect.
The end sought is desirable: and a
partial application of the plan of con
solidation may be feasible here and
there in this state. But it is very
doubtful indeed whether arbitrary con-
solidation of the schools would be ac-
ceptable to the people. The principle
of local option would seemapplicable,
under the supervision of the superin-
tendent of public instruction.
The ideal of the new plan is grad
ed school. say, at the county seat, that
would be we'll enough equipped and
differed to fit boys and girls for col
lege Or the battle of life. 1t is an at
tempt to establish and maintain in
the agricultural counties the advant-
ages that city schools offer.-Atlantic

family had already arrived at the

Daniel took his first ride on the porch,
and there he was left to rest and en-
JOY the honor done him. But there
was breeze on the porch: the car
riage and little Daniel together were
swept off and the latter was picked up
unconscious. He was revived with
water, put into his carriage and left
to his own devices. Little Daniel then

From PerryviIIe to Pennington,

Louis HOuck was here few DAYS.
last week in the interest OF his rail-
road. Thursday night a meeting of
the bond holders of this and ST.
Marys was held at the court house.
and Mr.. Houck made and explained a
proposition to extend the railroad on
to FarmingtOn. We failed to learn
the exact nature of the proposition
but understand that what he wanted
was for the bond holders to release
their bonds and the interest which has
accumulated. They would be taken
up and destroyed and an income bond
be given in their place. OF what bene-
tit this would be to those concerned
we know not, but Mr.. Houck says it
would enable him to get money to
build the road on to Pennington. If
this is the case we hope that some
agreement may be reached between all
parties concerned. The railroad has
been great benefit to Perryville, and
if it was only extended on to Farm
lngton it would be much more to our
interest, besides being a great accom-

The State law provides that all tax

are, no doubt. eligible. Several
prominent attorneys are of the opinion
they will have to serve unless excused

are adapted for lighting stores,

now have gas as we'll as those in the
cities, as each consumer controls his
own little gas plant, which is quite
inexpensive. We guarantee to furn-

Lawyer Cheney.

Jerome L. Cheney of Syracuse, New

ago Mr.. Cheney graduated in the
Southeast Normal School. Now he is
a prominent lawyer in big city in the
great State OF New York. Mr.. Cheney
is the son of the late Prof. Cheney who
was the first President and the best
President the Normal School ever had.
He was the President that went to
school to teach school. He was the
President who opened school and went
to work with school work. There was
no monkeying with prayer and prayer
books when the father of lawyer
Cheney had charge of the Normal
School. He believed in doing the
work the State paid him to do and he
never went outside his line of duty as
a teacher to meddle with the religion
of the pupils of the Normal. We wish
we had another Cheney at the head of
our Normal School.

Harry Kage was arrested by Deputy
Sheriff John w. Taylor at Kimmel' S
private stable on Sprigg street at
about two O'Clock this Friday morn
ing. The Deputy Sheriff was given
the tip that Harry was implicated in
the robbery of Peironnet's store
Thursday night and when arrested he
had some of the stolen goods in his
possession.
We understand that Kage claims
that other parties did the robbing and
that they gave him the goods found in
his possession to keephim from squeal-
ing on them. He says that there were
three of the robbers and that two of
them are st. Louis professionals. The
goods that Kagehad were only small
portion of what the robbers took from
the store.

Saturday about forty of these men
came 20 this city. They spent their
money in the stores and in saloons and
some of them took on more bug juice
than they cOuld conveniently manage.
They were not noisy, nor were they
savage. They We're drunk. They came
here to get drunk and they got there.
but they troubled no one. They look
ed ugly staggering about the streets,
it is true, but they spent their money
freely, and while We donot approve of
drunkenness on the streets. we believe
we ought to be lenient with these men
for while for they will spend every
cent of their earnings in our town
while they are working near here.
We understand that some fifteen
of these men will be put to
work at DEVILS Island Il few miles
north Of here some time next month.
This means thousands OF dollars for
this city if We will not be too strict
with the men when they come here.

out in his district the Populists are
pretty strong and very active, says
the Philadelphia ''InQuirer's" Wash
ington correspondent. They nomina-
ted a candidate for Congress last year.
He started in on his canvass. having
gOOd-sized audiences almost every
where and was received by them with
considerable enthusiasm. One of the
chief tenets of the PopuIist party is
opposition to the legal fraternity.
Finally it was noised about among
the Populists that their candidate for
Congress was Il lawyer. This greatly
disturbed them, and the leaders took
counsel together as to what should be
done. whether they should permit him
to continue in the race or withdraw
him and nominate some one else who
was not lawyer. Before they had
arrived at a decision friend OF the
candidate appeared on the scene and
declared the story that the candidate
was 4 lawyer was without foundation.
Our candidate. said he. was at
