The Attention OF Parents Called 10
Changes In the Law Made by the
Last Legislature.


Changes In the Law Made by the
Last Legislature.
By an act of the last legislature the provision
for the purchase, by the district, of text books
for in the public schools, and the furnishing
of such text books free to the pupils, is consider
ably abridged. Section 6S3 OF the Vermont
Statutes provides that pupils shall be thoroughly
instructed in good behavior, reading, writing,
spelling, English grammar. geography, arithme-
tic, free hand drawing, the history and constitu
tuition of the United States, elementary physi-
ology and hygiene aud in the geography, history,
and constitution and principles of the govern
ment of Vermont.
Section ~ provides that in High school in.
strucuon shall be given in English literal ure
higher mathematics, sciences, political econo my ,
civil government general history, and rheto rio
and Latin Greek, and modern languages, and
other advanced studies. The law as It stood IN
relation T. furnishing text books free before the
amendment by the last legislature. was in section
16s OF the statutes, which provided that the dis.
trict should furnish all text books and appliances
used IN the studies required by law 10 be taught
IN the public schools This section 76g WAS
amended at the session of the legislature in 1895
so that IL reads follows:
p The school directors or the school board of
each town. city, or graded school district shall
provide and furnish at the expense of sal . town
city, or graded scnool district all text books and
appliances IN the studies required by section 6s3
OF the Vermont Statutes TO be taught in the pub
lie schools, TO be paid for by order of the school
directors or school board or their respective
treasurers.' This, 1t will be seen, takes away the
free text books so far as the higher branches are
concerned Hence, hereafter the district can
buy aud furnish such text books and appliances
only for the instruction provided for in section
oS5, TO wit, good behavior reading, writing, spell
ing, English grammar, geography, arithmetic
free hand drawing, the history and constitution
OF the United States, elementary physiology and
hygiene, the geography, history, constitution
and principles of the government of Vermont
All parents should take particular note of this
and procure for their pupils text books other
than those provided for

A new method of forcing a move at
checkers was established at the rooms of
the Young Mems Christian association
Monday afternoon, but it is not likely to
be generally adopted by the members of
the association. Its discovery was purely
accidental and cost a small quantity of
blood, one young man receiving a bullet
wound in his hand and another a wound
in his leg, besides creating no little amount
of excitement. During the afternoon Rob
ert Aldrich started out hunting with 22-
calbre target pistol, but stopped at the
rooms to have a game of chess with Dan
Stolte, who was acting as secretary in the
absence of Secretary Hardy, who was at
Buffalo, N. Y. Aldrich left his pistol on
the window sill in the secretary's office and
went into the alley-way leading from the
office to the boys room, where the game
of chess was played. Charles Boyle and
Ernest Monroe then took the board and
began a game of checkers, while Stolte,
who happened to go into the secretary's
office, saw the pistol and took it into the
alley-way for no particular purpose except
to look it over. First wishing TO ascertain
whether the pistol was loaded he drew
back the hammer and tried TO discover
some spring by which the breech could be
opened. He accidentally touched the
trigger and discharged the pistol, the ball
passing through the heshy part of his left
hand below the little finger, spending its
force upon the inside of Bogle's left leg
and then falling to the floor. The boys
went to the office of DIR. Gray, where their
wounds were dressed, and they were i'm
pressed with the fact that they were ex-
ceedingly fortunate in not receiving more
serious injuries. sit was Bogle's move"
said Stolte, "Rnd he moved"

TO CLEAN THE LAKE FRONT
Mayor culley Will Allow No More Dump
ing of Garbage There.

The lake front is to be cleaned up.
Hereafter it is not to be common
dumping ground for all the rubbish of
the city. Mayor Culley announced this
morning that he was going to order the
police to see to it that no more old po-
tatoes and other rotten vegetables are
taken down there to breed disease.
All the space between Fiddler's green
and the power house of the water
works is to be cleaned up, and just as
fast as possible filling is to be dumped
in. with the view in the end of making
a beautiful park on the lake front
! There has been good deal of kick
ing, and righteously too, on the part OF
people who live iii the neighb0rhood of
the public dump. against using that
part of the lake front for such Dase
purposes. Mayor Culley has decided
to do what he can to abate the nui-
sance But here the question arises,
What is to be done for IL public dump?
There is no other available place in the
city. If We step over the line into the
town of Somers there is kick and q
prohibition and the same is true if the
same thing is attempted in Pleasant
Prairie.
The merchants have lots of stuff ac
cumulate on their hands every day
which they must get rid OF some way.
This matter will become serious one
to some Of them. When it comes to
their waste paper and such matter,
that can be accumulated and taken
once week to some designated place
and burned by some one authorized to
watch the process. hut it is different
with ordinary garbage. That will have
to be buried or dumped in the lake.
And still it would not be good to dump
it into our driLk king water. That
scheme was tried few years ago in
Milwaukee and 1t was soon found that
all one needed to do when in need Of
food was to TURN on the ordinary water
tap and he could draw out anything
from loaf of bread to yellow dog or
poorly preserved fish. That city had
TO settle the problem by erecting q
burning plant and burning it all. ke-
noSha has rot yet got to the point
where such plant would be profitable.
SO there is nothing hereafter for us to do
but to bury our garbage.
Let that be done and let us have Il
respectable lake front.

A noted Professor, DR.. c. Won Spiegel Of
Saratoga, N. Y, credits them with
many remedies used by him in effect
ing difficult cures.
Useful hints to many who suffer, where
they might enjoy the Indians pro
verbal good health and longevity but
for the prejudice of Ignorance.

The once existing idea that no possible
good or knowledge could be obtained from

When such man as DR.. c. Won Spiegel
of Saratoga Springs, in an article published
in the daily Saratogian of Sept. IA, states
that he is indebted, not only to the North
American Indians Kickapoos, Cheyennes,
Aranahoes, Pawnees, Apaches, Kiowas, Com

the globe for his enormous collection and
the knowledge Of their virtues, of roots, herbs,
bariis. cGms and balsams, by whose use he
has effrv.ed The most extraordinary cures in

that the world at large should no longer

movement for practical currency reform.
1t has recently passed formal resolutions
demanding that congress shall adopt
some safe plan whereby our legal ten
der paper and silver and our silver GER
tificates shall be slowly withdrawn, and
gold, gold certificates and bank notes
shall gradually take their places. They
further advocate ''such legislation as
will encourage the establishment and
successful operation of small banks with
local capital and knowledge of credits. =
These resolutions are being sent
throughout the country, accompanied by
statement setting forth the views of
the club and requesting every friend
of currency reform to sign the resolu-
tions and send them to congress.
This movement is exactly in line with
the action of the Indianapolis confer
