WILMINGTON EDUc4rIoN SOCIETY.
Proposed to Form an Association TO Com
sider Educational Matters.


1t has recently been proposed to
organize an Education Society of Will
mington, and many public-spirited citi-
zens, including members of the Board
of Public Education and teachers in
public and private schools, have shown
interest in the matter. Associations
similar to the one proposed are COM
parstively new, but within the last two
or three years many have been estah-
lished and successfully conducted in
the principal cities of the country.
Philadelphia has had such IN organi-
zation for some time, while still older
are the societies in Brooklyn, Mass,
and Denver, Col.
The associations have for their field
Of work nothing less than the whole
subject Of educational methods and
their application in school and at
home. In these methods there is much
that is new and not well understood.
While the principles of education re-
main the same, the need Of education
becomes more imperative and its pro-
cesses become more, complex from year
to year. Many even of our more intel
ligent citizens are really ignorant oil
what is being done on attempted in
our schools. Sometimes i'll sort OF
blind faith in the wisdom of schoo
work, sometimes with an unreasonable
lack of confidence, they send theii
children to be educated. Neither atti
tude is comfortable to the parent O
helpful to the child. Probably the hes
work of education societies has heel
accomplished in bringing the home an,
the school into sympathetic relation
with each other.
The nlan under consideration IL I
form what may perhaps be fifty name
the Wilmington Education Society.
Meetings will DO held in school house
or in public halls and will be open I
everybody. Well-known speakers wi
sometimes address the meetings, hr
an interesting feature will be the FRI

and teachers, and indeed by any OF
who has a suggestion to make or

GRAND JUNCTION LEADS
First Colorado Regiment Parades
Through Our Streets, While
Other To,Dns IN Colorado
Amniously Aaoan
Their ArriUal.

While the whole state has been
speculating when, how and under
what conditions the brilliant and
gallant First Regiment shall be
received in their respective cities,
Grand Junction as usual jumps in,
secures the stoppage of the first
section of the troop trains, has the
ceremony of the flag presentation
: upon its main thoroughfare, a
march of several of the companies
with their gallant commander at
the lead and an unfurling of the
SCARED and battle worn regimen
tai flag.
Truly Grand Junction, on this,
the first day of her Peach Week
carnival, should feel to congratu-
late herself on this auspicious
opening All over Colorado ex-
pectant hearts and thoughts are
turned toward the Colorado Regi-
ment and here we have had them
In our midst to do honor and
to pay what little re-
spect and cordial greeting that
lies in our power.
AS this city was the last to bid
the gallant sons of Colorado fare
we'll, so it is the first to greet
them upon their return, tired and
toll worn as they are. The fact
that the flag demonstration took
place here and that Col. Mccoy
saw fit to parade his troops
through our streets, proves that
the state usually has to reckon
with Grand junction in arrano-
ing any program. The people are
happy that they first extended the
hand of welcome to one of the
most brilliant regiments which
has seen service in the war,

Flag Presentation Committee De-
part for Their Homes on The
Same Train Bearing the
Soldier Boys.

After spending two days in our city,
making arrangements for the greeting
to be given the First Colorado, working
in conjunction with the local committees
in preparing the entertainment for the
returning boys in blue, the committee of
ladies sent here from Denver for that
purpose, have completed their l OF un-
pleasant task, their work has been we'll
done, the boys have been presented with
the token Of love and liberty that loving
hands had prepared for them, and the
ladies have taken their departure for
homes in Denver
Never was returning son or brother
more joyously received than upon this
occasion. There were tears in all eyes,
but not of sorrow. If ever tears of joy
and Thanksgiving were shed, it was for
the safe return OF the Colorado volun-
teers.
The delay in the train from the west,
which was due to arrive here early last
night, but did not reach the city until
about noon today, was a disappointment
to the many who were anxiously await
ing their coming, but The greeting was
all the more hearty after the hours
spent in expectation.
The ladies of the flag presentation
committee include, Mrs. George Briggs

Mr.. Bryan's Speech.

William Jennings Bryan, the peerless
orator, spoke to large and enthusiastic
crowd yesterday afternoon in the Park.
The meeting was called to O, der Alvin
Bucklin as chairman introducing Hon.
Charles 8. Thomas, governor OF the
state, who in a few we'll chosen words
introduced Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan looked his best yesterday
afternoon. 1t has been said that he wa
very much aged during the past three
years, but this is mistake, if ever a
man looked in the prime OF his best man.
hood, Mr.. Bryan looked that yesterday.
His voice was resonant, clear and dis
tinct. He did not have worn appear
ance in the leaet and his talk, covering
tho space OF over two hours was done
with the least fatigue possible.
1t would be impossible to give even an
outline Of what Mr. Bryan said during
the two hours Of his speech. He cover
ed wide range OF subjects and enuncl-
ated the doctrine for which he has been
noted, ever since he took the stump for
the cause Of free silver years ago.
1t is sufficient to say that his oratory
was matchless, his thought deep seated
and convincing and that his every word
bore fruit as it fell with forcefulness and
convincing truth from his lips. There
may have been greater orators in the
history Of the country in the last forty
years, but few OF them that combined
the masterfulness ef address with deep
logic upon the current events OF the
times.
The applause given to Mr.. Bryan
seemed to burst out spontaneously and
his periods and olimaxes were vocifer-
ously spplauded.

and Mrs. Mary A. Ingersoll, who is well
known throughout the state as the pres

ye tsrday in company with Governor
Charles S. Thomas.
The ladies have had the willing and
untiring assistance OF local parties in
their work, and ths Sc deserve special
mention.
Upon their arrival here last Sunday
the committee was met at the depot by
a committee OF the Womans Relief Corps
and were entertained by that noble Or
der during their stay in this city The
members OF that organization have
worked most faithfully with the Denver
ladies', to prepare the entertainment for
the soldier boys.
Then there were the members Of
Troop A, of whom not man shirked a
ch ance to do something to assist in the
good work. They were everywhere pres
ent doing whatever would be OF advan-
tage. They had secured the 1-pouno
forecastle gun, belonging to DR.. E. F.
Eldridge, and were constantly booming
noisy welcome to the boys, who were
already familiar with the noise Of the
cannon, heard in the din Of battle.
The citizens, too, were eager to re-
spond to the call for donations, the
Peach Day committee giving one third
OF the amount needed to prepare the
breakfast for the soldier boys.
Altogether, considering the uncer-
tain hour of their rrrival the reception
rendered the boys at this place was 8
royal welcome, coming from the CRATE

things that we have tried and found
good, for instance, turpentine and
sweet oil.
An excellent liniment for man or
beast is made by beating an egg until
it is light then adding half pint of tur-
pentine and a little strong camphor.
This is good for sprains and bruises.
Castor oil, paregoric. mustard and
faxseed, you all know how to use. Many
housekeepers know that borsx sprinkl-
ed in closets and over places f%requented
by reaches and ants will drive them
away. In fact there are many other
ways to use it but how many OF US
appreciate it's medicinal value9 Moth
ing is better for a cut or rough jagged
wound than to battle it in a weak soIu-
tion Of borax and then keep cloths wet
in it over the wound. If you have
our stomach try a little borax in
water for relief. If the baby has thrash
mix M part of borax with eight parts
of honey and apply to the inside Of the
mouth. For common sore mouth put
a pinch Of borax in water and rinse
the mouth out two or three times g
day. 1t possesses wonderful antiseptic
powers and cleanses every thing upon
which it is used.
Did you ever try lard on a burn9 1t
affords almost instant relief. / know
where of I speak for I had my arm
burned by steam from a boiling pot
today and lard relieved the pain of it
in a short while, Apply all over the
burned surface and as soon as the first
application is absorbed renew it. If
the baby is burned. don't forget this as
it will prevent much suffering.
Well, Aunt Jennie, when l begin to
talk of common ailments and their
cure I never know when to stop.
Hoping that what l have said will
prove helpful to some one, I must say
good bye, for this time.

NOT so SMART.

An exchange says: A minister, who
frequently expressed surprise at the
appearance of typographical errors in
newspapers, recently had printed a
program for religious services in his
church. When the program was ready
for the press, be stipulated that, in or
der that there should be no errors in it,
the proof should be submitted to him.
1t was done, and corrected according
to his marking. After the job was
delivered, a friend called his attention
to the following line in the closing
hymn: Jesus resigns and heaven re-
joicee!" The preacher nearly tainted,
but he doesn't think he is half es smart
as he use to think he was.

HOW A PLAIN GIRL MAY BE.
COMB PRETTY.

The Cultivation Of Grace and Ease Of
Carriage is a Simple Matter.
Mrs. Humphry, writing in the June
Ladies' Home Journal on HOW to be
Pretty Though Plain" asserts that the
best advice she could give the girl who
would attain a graceful figure is con
tanned in two words: Avoid exagger-
alton. 1--WE all know how ~disappoint-
ing, if not actually annoying, it is to
see a pretty face associated with an
awkward figure or an uncouth gait.
Now, gracefulness is almost always
capable Of being cultivated, to some
degree at least, even in cases which
may seem to be of the hopeless sort.
Calisthenic5 have converted many an
awkward girl into an unrecognizably
graceful and charming edition of her
former self. Many a growing girl has
her figure and carriage ruined for life
by want of care, and more particularly
motherle9s girls, who have no kind
elder to make them lie down for at
least an hour every day. The recum-
bent posture aVerts many an evil.
The shoulders should be perfectly fat
upon the couch, and the head be only
slightly raised. Girls are such active,
vigorous creatures that they often OBJ.
Jet to lying down in this way, but a
careful mother may ees ly learn how
to turn this restful time into a pleasure.
In almost all cases improvement will
result from gymnastic and c%alisthenic
exercises, from rowing, drilling and
swimming. But it is absolutely neces.
sary that the patient should be mind
full constantly of her own bearing.
She must hold her shoulders back, her
head up and her chest forward. At
first this position will cause mi stiff
ness, but if p~ersevered in and accom-.
panied by calisthenic exercises, or
even games like lawn tennis, it will
soon become natural, easy and grace
