The M ass Meeting.

The mass meeting Of the court house
on Saturday evening, called for the pur
pose of nominating a ticket for town
and school officers, failed to draw out a
large attendance on the part ofthe male
residents Of the city, but there being
about thirty ladies in attendance, taking
part in the nomination ofschool officers,
a total vote Of about 90 was reached.
The presence of ladies' upon occasions
Of this character is an entirely new de-
parture in political Jurisprudence in
Custer, this being the first time they
have exercised their right to join the
male contingent in the nomination of a
ticket for members Of the board of edu-
cation. Their evident intention on this
occasion was to secure the nomination
of a ticket that would be favorable to
the retention Of the present principal of
the schools, and in this, it is believed,
they were entirely successful. Follow
ing are the nominations

Remarkable month Of April is the
first month that the High school passed
without a hardness, and this is the only
room that has made such a record. The
other rooms, however, have gradually
improved throughout the year, April
being the month of best record on this
point of any during the year.
The ninth grade r~ejoices that it has
completed the bookkeeping work, and
will now have more time to give to gen.
eral history, literature, etc.
There will probably be a graduating
class this year, eight in number, nothing
preventing. The class are now at work
upon their orations, etc. The class have
worked hard this year and deserve
credit, instead Of sneers.

The attack being unexpected, he was completely taken by surprise and fell down, whereupon she began to pound him, crying out at each blow, Here's for SadowaP'
 The prince was fast getting the worst of it. for his little adversary was thor oughly in earnest, when the imperial tutors hearing the noise rushed up and separated the eombatants. After that the prinoes were more carefully watch ed and Wilhelm had no opportunity to sget eyen2 with the little champion of justice. Some days afterward, hearing that the princes were leaving, Helena went down to the gate to see them 20 by. As they passed Wilhelm spied his foe, and leaning out behind his tutor he stuck cut his tongue
 Helena was tho daughter of titled parents, and later she was married to an Englishman. When the kaiser was in London, she told this story to one of his gentlemen ill waiting, who in turn repeated it to his majesty. The latter exclaimed: . Is that devil of girl here now? l would like to see her. !" A meet ing was arranged, but Helena became ill, and so they never met after that ono encounter to make friends or renew hos. tilities.

svhy They Arc So Severe and How Thsg
 Should lie Treated.
 It is commonly said that a sprained joint is worse than broken bone, and this is often true, for in a severe sprain the injury is really greater than in 8 simple fracture. The ankle is perhaps the most frequently sprained of all tho joints, though the knee, elbow and wrist arc also very liable to bo injured. fin falls especially.
 A sprain of Il joint varies greatly in severity. 1t may consist of Q simple wrench, without the tearing of any of the fragments. or it may be moro OK tensive injury, stopping just short of a dislocation.
 h moderately seyoro case ono OF more of the fragments of the joint will be torn slightly, or possibly completely across. The membrane beneath the Iig- aments, which retains tho lubrioating fluid of the joint, will be ruNtnred, per mitting tho escape of molu ,r stss e this fluid into tho parts about, and 6iv- ing rise sometimes to a considerable swelling This swelling may bo increas- cd also by all offusion of fluid into the joint, especially if inflammation sets in, and finally there is usually slight or even sometimes Q quite pronounced eG- cape of blood into the tissues, and this, gradually working to the surface, ap- pears as black and blue stain.
 In moro severe cases tho tendons pass ing over the joint and attaching the muscles which move it to the bones may suffer considerable damage, or one of them may be broken or torn from its at. tachment. bringing with it silver of bone. Where so much harm has been done to all the parts-bones, fragments, tendons and muscles--it Is easy to un derstand that much pain will result and that the cure will be tedious.
 In the treatment of sprain the first thing to be aimed at is to relieve pain and prevent inflammation, then to favor healing of tho torn structures and after that to restore the use of the limb.
 The first of these objects is accom- plished by absolute rest of the injured part, the limb being raised and by lead and opium wash, a spirit lotion, or such other local applications as the physician may prescribe. Swelling is prevented in z measure and pain is sometimes re. loved by firm bandaging with fan. nel bandage
 When tho swelling, heat and pain are gone, tho limb should not be used too soon, but should Do brought gradu- ally back to health by cold touching, dry rubbing in direction toward the body and passive motion. 1t is some. times necessary in very severe cases to treat the sprain by means of splints ex- Gotly as if 1t were a fracture or disloca- t;on.

G@i Cashfer's Mind Rnadins Methods af
 Making Change.
 The girl cashier of a Madison street restaurant was for three weeks believed by ono of the customers to be 8 lineaI descendant of Morgan le Fay and to have some of the family traits of Heller, the second sight magician, for she seemed to know by intuition or instinct or something else what was the price of the meal he had consumed and also just fhe amount of money in his hand when he approached to pay He first noticed that when he presented a 35 cent check she immediately laid upon tho rubber mat dime and a nickel which she had been holding for change
 How" this man inquired of him. self, "did she know that 5 cents would be the correct change? Thero was no earthly way for her to tell what money was going to offer her either. How did she como to have tho exact change ready without q second S delay or with out having to go to the cash register for it?" He could not answer to his own satisfaction.
 Tho next day he bought 45 cent meal, and she promptly laid a nickle before him, the 5 cent piece being tho only coin she held in her hand It was the correct amount, as he gave her q half dollar. He experimentod several times afterward and at last appealed to her for information.
 Why, she said, didn't you ever
 
 notice the tint of your oheok?" When l see you coming 20 feet away, I know by the slate eolored check that you have eaten 20 cents worth If you have q red ticket, that warns me that you want to pay for two bit meal A bluo one means 30 cents. This yellow ono is, of course, for 40 cents. The amount is printed upon the check, but tho color Is my warning "
 '' Yes, , said tho other, somewhat re- iieyed, tthat seems easy. But still my money is not of different colors How do you know what change to have ready? That's mind reading, sure. "
 Mot at all. When you come with a quarter ticket, you will usually give me the exact change or half a dollar I have a quarter ready for you in my left hand i'll case you give mo a half. Sup pose your ticket is 35 cent one; you Il either give mo tho correct amount or q half dollar-or perhaps dollar With 15 cents in one hand and 30 cents in the other Pm ready for any demonstra- tion almost.

How Senator Vest Obtained His Desk

Many good stories could be told of the alertness which senators display in securing well placed desks, but tho ex- perienee of MT. Vest is especially worth relating. When ill 1883 the civil service law was being discussed, MT. Pend1e- ton, an Ohio Democrat, and Mir. Dawes had presented bills. By a shrewd bit of politics the Republicans abandoned their support of the Dawes bill and voted for Mir. Pendleton measure, their votes, together with the votes of the Demo- orats favorable to tho measure, being sufficient to pass 1t. As the bill was about to De voted on Mir. Cockrell moy- ed that it's title be changed so as to read, 4 bill to retain Republicans in office. As soon as it passed, MT. Vest filed claim for Mir Pendleton's B seat 'The author of such bill, ' said he, twill never come back to tho senate ''
 Mir. Vest was right, and at the begin ming of the next congress he moved into MT. Pendleton's vacant chair Wash ington Post.

 The present kaiser would probably not adsait that he had often been thwarted in any of his plans, but an apeedote has recently become known which shows that he at least once "got the worst of it, ;" and 1t is all the more piouant from the fact that he was de. feated by a girl.
 When the kaiser, who was then Prince Wilhelm, was about 10 years old, he and Prince Heinrich spent some time at Cassel with their tutors, who sometimes allowed the little princes to play with other children. One day when several of them were gathered together it chaneed that a little French girl was among the number, and tho young Ger mans conceived tho brilliant idea es

THE TEACHERS ADJOURN
POOR INDIANA ROADS DISCUSSED AT
ACADEMY OF SCIENCE.
The Average College Prospectus De-
nOunced by One of the
Professors.

Indiana professors of science, after UNDER
going two days course OF their own medi-
cine from members who were on lengthy
programme embracing mathematics, phys
les. chemistry, botany, geology, zoology and
several other ologies completed their treat
ment yesterday morning. 1t was at first in
tended TO prolong the course until the after
noon, but owing to the absence of several
of the lecturers all that We're represented
were accorded an audience and the section
finally adjourned at noon. The papers were
of technical and elaborate nature and the
discussion thereof had to be limited in time.
The one Of the widest interest was ""rhe
Trouble with Indiana Roads" taken by
Prof. Daniel Il. Lutens, of Purdue The
professor said that the roads were allowed
to &c too long without repairing, gravel was
not scientifically applied, too much material
being used for the amount of labor, and the
roads were many of them in locations where
good roads were almost a practical impossi-
bility. Less than l per cent of the 10000
miles Of Indiana roads, if we are to judge
by the definition submitted, can be called
good roads A good road he declared TO be
one that is hard, smooth and serviceable all
the year round. The professors address
was lent additional interest by the use of
stereopticon views contrasting Indiana
roads with the thoroughfares of other
parts of the United States and of
France and Germany. The Indiana
roads varied from finely macadam-
lied roads to trenches of mud in the illus
trations shown. The other papers read
