Trouble With 'RastuS.

RaStus Baker, the shiney black son
OF George Washington Baker, created
considerable disturbance at the First
ward school yesterday afternoon. He
and Prof. Holiday, the principal,
became engaged in a rough and tum-
Bile fight in which the professor re-
ceived several scratches on the face.
Rastus was arrested shortly afterwards
by Assistant Marshal Willard on COM
plant of Maj. Ed Hayes, member of
the board Of education. His hearing
is set for 5 o'clock this evening 10
police court.
The trouble occurred in the lower
hallway as the pupils were marching
from school. Rastus was marching
at the rear end Of the line, but the
boys who did not like to march with
him made 1t so warm for him that he
went up near the middle of the line
and broke into the ranks without a
partner. Miss Flora Fultz, one Of the
teachers, asked him to get a partner
or retire to the rear OF the line. Here.
fused and Prof. Holiday was asked to
compel him to obey. Rastus resented
the authority Of the principal and
gave him pretty lively tussle. Some
of the children ran up town and iD.
formed Major Ed Hayes, who went to
the school house and attempted TO
make the unruly negro obey. Rastus
obeyed for awhile and rebeled again.
The police were then sent for and be
was arrested on complaint of Mr.
Hayes.
The school authorities this morning
took the saucy Rastus In tow and he
was given a sound threshing in the
presence Of SupJ. H. f. NJ. Bear. The
birch was welded by Prof. Holiday
who laid it on thick and heavy. Ras
tus took hfs medicine without q
whimper and is good niger al

authorities are concerned the thresh
ing this morning ended the incident

CORRESPONDENCE.
CICERO.

The weather turned suddenly colder
again Sunday morning. We fear
that the peach buds are damaged.
The wheat fields have a rather
brown cast since the freeze last week.
But we think that there has been no
serious damage done,
Some think that the freeze last
week has killed the oats that were
just coming up. But we have eX-
amined some fields and find that they
are all right.
Last Friday was the closing day Of
a very successful six months term OF
school in district No. s, taught by
Miss Carrie Williams Of Belle Plaine.
The patrons showed their apprecia-
ton Of the good work done by the
teacher and pupils by coming at the
hour Of noon with baskets filled with
all the good things to eat that the
heart could desire, and had a social
dinner, which was greatly enjoyed by
all, after which the teacher and pu-
pills rendered a very interesting pro-
gram. We had a very interesting talk
to the school by Mr.. Short and other
patrons OF the school. Miss Edna
Morris aud Miss Lucy Tesgue chose
up for ciphering match and we had
about an hour Of very interesting
marking on the black board which
was greatly enjoyed by the spectators
Miss Morris had the wining side.
Everybody went home feeling glad
they had been there.

clutches upon her and for seven years
she withstoOd its severest tests, but
her vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed necessarily, and
could not sleep. She finally discovered
way to recovery, by purchasing of US
a bottle Of DR.. Kings New Discovery

relieved on taking first dose, that she
slept all night; and with two bottles,

Our civil war cost 100000 lives. OF
this number 9S,OS9 were slain In bat
tie. The vast army which succumbed
to d>ease was no less than lS4, 1881,
while the remaining 10000 or so died
of wounds received. At the battle Of
Waterloo $1,000 menswere killed or
disabrd. There were 1000 soldiers
in that great struggle, and it is esti-
mated that one man was either killed
or di.abled for every 400 shots fred,
counting both the artillery and rifle
shots. In the Crimean war 95,6l5
li7es were sacrificed, and at BorOdino,
when the French and Russians fought,
$1,000 men were left dead on the bat
tie field. OF the 95,6l5 men who per-
ished 10 the Crimea, $4,000 were Turks
and Russians. In 1881 great uproar
was causei because Englishmen took
up all the skeletons they could dnd,
brought them to England and con.
verted the bones into fertilizer. Since
the birth of Christ 100000 900 men
have been slain in battle. Before the
beginning Of the Christian era the
losses cannot be estimated.

the end of the half year. That is, the
teachers are assured employment for
two months, their term ending on jan

depend upon future action of the school
