HAS SOME HOPE.
Postmaster FItzhugh Returns From

Work for Federal Building.

Postmaster Fitzhugh returned yesterday
from Washington, where he went to sub
NIT some figures concerning the receipts of
the local office His trip to the capital was
for the purpose of assisting Congressman
Miller in his fight for a government build
ing. DR.. Fitzhugh had n number of con-
ferences with Congressman Miller and he
says the Kansas City, Kas., statesman is
doing some very effective work towards
getting the bill through. While he is not
at all encouraged over the prospects of
congress favoring this city with a federal
building. yet he has some hopes.
For the past ten years this city has been
working for a government building but
thus far without success. When Congress-
man Miller was elected he promised the
people here that he would do all in his
power to secure an appropriation for the
erection of an Uncle Sam" building in
the Sunfower metropolis, and it is to be
said TO his credit that he has been true to
his work.
One of the first bills to be framed and
introduced by Congressman Miller pro-
vided for the erection of a government
structure in this city. He has devoted
much of his time to the bill and has sue
ceeded In getting a favorable report on ii

relatives had to watch her. Saturday
evening she slipped away, telling her
grandchildren that she was going back

to no purpose. Yesterday a resident of
that neighborhood told her relatives that
someone was heard grooming and singing
through the night in the Wilson pasture,
but nothing was thought of it until it was
learned that the. demepted woman was
the place where found. In all probability
she had sung. the night away until death

l1rom Albany Herald, Mar. 17l

(From Albany Herald, Mar, III
An aggravated case Of corporal pun
ishment has occurred In the Central
school, Of this city, which Is likely to
result in the arrest Of the teacher who
did the whipping, Miss Barden, who
is in charge of the sixth grade,
The detaiIsr as learned from the d.
rectors, are as follows: On Monday
one of the pupils, Miss Neva Trainor,
aged nearly Is, was seen with note
/ IN her hand. The teacher, Miss Bar.
den, requested the girl to bring the
note to her, which she started to do,
but on the way to the teachers desk
crumpIed it up in her hand, When
told not to do so, she tore the note In
two. The pupil was then sent to her
seat, and the teacher asked her why
she disobeyed her and tore the note.
"Because | wanted TO-, was the reply.
Thereupon the teacher slapped the girl
several times. She then struck her
with a ruler across the shoulders, and
afterwards whipped her severely with
a rattan. The girl was then sent into
another room, and was there whipped
again by Miss Barden. The whipping
must have been unusually severe, as
when in the evening physician was
called, her shoulders were found to be
black and blue from the blows, some
of which had started the blood DR..
Ellis, the physician in attendance,
stated last evening that the girl could
hardly raise her hand to her head, and
was confined to her bed. She was i'll
at the time of the whipping, DR.. Ellis
having prescribed for her and recom-
mended that she remain out of school
for day or two.
The board of directors were notified
Of the affair. They adopted a resolu-
ton reprimanding the teacher for her
action, which was violation of the
rules of the school and the directions
Of the principal. The parents of the
girl have applied to the district at
torDey for complaint for the arrest of
the teacher, but as yet no legal action
has been taken.
The occurrence is to be regretted,
aud The teacher no doubt realizes her
mistake. Heretofore her teaching has
been entirely satisfactory. While cor
poral punishment in schools, which
too oft, u results in severe beating Of
children, should have no place in the
civilization of to-day, and should be
prohibited, it is doubtful if prosecution
at law would help matters in this case
Teachers who expect to conduct theil
school-rooms successfully must learn
to maintain order and discipline with
ouT the whipping post, and the quicker
teschers accept the idea that parents
will not tolerate the beating of theil
I. children, that it is practice Lelongins
to the dark ages, the better for ou
schools. The extreme resort of suspen
sion or expulsion from school is prefer
able to such exhibitions MS this.
