Assault with Intent to Kill.

Woodman II. Dawes was arraigned
before Trial Justice O. A. Priest, Tues
day afternoon at the Court House, on a
warrant issued on complaint signed by
james Lnmsden, the charge being las
sault with intent to Kill and murder aud
with dangerous weapon" upon the
person of Florence +. Dawes. his
wife, Sunday evening the DIST instant.
County Attorney Small was unable To
be present and Geo. W. Cover, ESD,
appcar.d for The State and 5. J. Walton,
Esq, tor the respondent. Miss Minta
Powers, court reporter, took the evil
dence in short hand.
Mr.. Cover opened the case giving the
circumstances of the assault in detail
and called as witnesses, Mrs, FloreAce
(. Dawes, Herbert Waller, Henry
RaWles, Henry ]. Tetrow, Dr. J. y,
Merrill and James Lumsden.
The facts in the case were drawn out
substantially as appear elsewhere in this
issue, with additional evidence the
testimony of Henry Rawles, hardware
dealer, that on the afternoon Of the
tragedy he sold revolver to "A man, and
he identified Dawes as the man to whom
he made the sale. He also identified
the revolver taken by Constable Roch-
ester from the coat pocket Of the re-
spondent after arrest, as the one sold to
Dawes.
The defence did not attempt to dis
prove the assault but advanced the
theory that the respondent was driven
to desperation by the conduct of the
woman with whom he was infatuated.
The case was very clear one and the
Court held the respondent in the sum OF
l,500 for appearance at the March
Term of the Supreme court. Nc
sureties being offered, the respondent
was committed to the custody of Sheriff
Nles.

The Kindergarten.

1t is the aim of the kindergarten to
educate the head, heart and hand from
the earliest possible point of time in the
lite of the child. la this way the Kin
dergarten lays substantial foundations
for useful and yirtuous eitiz 'uship. Il
is the idle brain that is the Devils work
shop. While the Kindergarten teaches
no special trade. it, preparatory training
aud practice tend to make all technical
processes simple.
Mr. Thos. Richeson, formerly presi-
dent of the st. Louis Chamber of Com
merce, and afterWard president of the
school board, says on this subject.
The influence of the kindergarten
will be felt on all subsequent education.
The early impulse given to mechanical
skill and taste in regard to form and
design in the kindergarten, reinforced
by thorough course of instruction in
industrial drawing in the primary aud
grammar schools, is sufficient 10 work a
revolution in the manufactorfps of the
country, ana cause our goods 10 obtain
the preference 10 foreign as well .as
domestic markets.
Hon. VIM. I. Harris. the nited
/ States Commissioner Of Edncnt o.. says
/ "The kindergarten Is the grandest sys-
/ TEN Of education ever devised by man"
The great hope OF society l. in indi-
/ vidual character. Whatever conspires 10
/ this result is of inesiimable value 10 any
community. The children of the kinder
j garten learn to love whatsoever things
are true; whatsoever things are right
whatsoever things are lovely and OF
/ good report.
It is not an easy thing to implant
these principles of virtue, and of right
] living where home influences are so adj
verse. But it is done. The little
children trained in the kindergarten
j learn to love that which is good.
DR.. Snyder of Colorado, speaks of the
| Influence of the kindergarten as follows
"Let such mighty Influence touch all
the children of our country between the
ages of four and six, and there would
be such change ia American life in our
generation as to surprise the most SAN
gum. Three years of that training
would have more to do in raising the in
teligence and morality OF our people
than any other influence that could be
put to work"

AMONG FARMERS.

The weather report for the week says
that heavy frosts prevailed in portions OF
the state last week, Ice a quarter of an
inch thick formed in northern and middle
sections. Apples are scarce and poor In
quality. The dry weather has injured
pastures and farmers are feeding their
stock.
The rye crop of the United States is by
no means as great as was at first an
nounced. The estimates Tor the Western
states were much too high, though Id
Pennsylvania the estimates were too low.
There 10 & shortag. of rye in Russia and
Frances crop IS below the average Ger
many has good crop, but there is net
reduction in the European supply. Stocks
of old rye are less than for years. On
the whole the prospects for an advance
in the price Of rye are encouraging.
A reliable s'atIstican Says the advance
In the price of the six articles, wheat, oats,
hogs, cattle and sheep will give the farm
ers Of the United States S343, 000,0
iuo'O eouh ehOy ICcCihOd iaSo y cot- 4DC
advance in the price of wheat is very
nearly 80 per cent. while sheep have al
most doubled in value. The last advance
has been in the price of oats. Hogs have
advanced almost 40 per cent. These are
advances in the large CONNER cial centers.
The Agricultural department has
secured frankins privileges fer use of
farmers VIII, y ish to send sugar beets
to experiment stations for analysis.
Seed was distributed last year to
farmers in various sections and it is
the purpose now to test the beets
grown from this seed The postal
franks will be sent out by the Expert
nent Stations to those farmers tc
whom seed was sent last spring. The
Agricultural department will distrib
ute II tons of sugar beet seed next
spring.

THERE is no utterance called out by
the discussion on the finoncial question,
which has claimed the attention of cele-
brated financIers and political econom-
Ists, which is as eplgrammatic as that Of
I. b. Reed of Maine: 1T is capital that
costs which makes wealth that lasts"
That sentence OF itself is q compendi-
um of the principles of political economy.
1t Is welghtY with moral truth and should
be the standard of human action In the
pursuit OF wealth. Capital cannot be
created by any act of government. 1t
must be earned. What seems like cap
ital may be foisted upon the people. but
settlement is always exacted in the
fnllnees OF time. The Confederate States
apparently created CAPITAL. But it was
merely a draft npon the future which
the future refused TO honor.
The idea that wealth or the getting of
wealth is trick of legislation is at once
removed If we reason logically from such
sound principle as that laid down by
Speaker Reed. Every dollar is the result
OF labor reduced to that basis. 1t may
come to its possessor in various ways, by
labor, gift or shrewdness, bet it has been
earned by some one. IT Is the ,rystalli-
cation OF effort properly directed. If il
is not such,it is spurious dollar no mac.
ter ii it ia the Issue of the government OF
the counterfeit manufactured by the in
divIdusl.
1t is good lesson to impress upon the
rising generation that iheir acquisitions
must have the stamp OF toll to be o.
