fice of county clerk to the contestee, Owen
A. Nelson. Republican The contestant.
Henry H. Windes, Democrat, will take his
case up to the supreme court. In handing
down his opinion in the case, the court
gave lengthy analysis of the evidence
submitted by both sides as TO the alleged
irregularities and frauds practiced in the
election of county clerk of Camden coun-
ty, in November. 1895. An important fea-
ture OF Judge Neville's decision was the
point wherein he held that a voter can cast
ms ballot in any precinct within the town
snip in which he resides. The court threw
out twenty-one votes cast for the CON
testee and seventeen cast for the contest
ant. and held that Owen A Nelson received
l,1se and II. H. Windes 1,1Os, giving Nelson
q q majority of eighty-seven. At the cleo
ton the Republican ticket had about 200
majority according to the returns except
Nelson. whose majority was ninety-two.
recount of the vote gave Nelson a ma
9ority of ten. and Windes brought suit al
leging that Nelson. who was then county
clerk, had changed some of the ballots
Judge Neville held that the plaintiff failed
to prove that any fraud had been com
mitted. ii

LAST DAY WAS THE BEST.
Annual Convention of Northeastern
Kansas Teachers Association
ut an End.

LAWRENCE, KAS., Dec 2-(Spe-
cial) The last session of the Northeastern
Kansas Teachers Association was the best
and the papers and their discussions were
unusually interesting and provocative of
thought. ---.. So. ,--
The first paper was by ]. E. Kammeyer,
OIL Kansas City, kas., and its subject THE
Articulation of Secondary Schools and Un-
iversities.''
By articulation of high school and uni
versity, Mr.. kammeyer said was meant
the harmonious blending of their courses
OF study The university must set the
standard and the high school must comply
with requirements This process has been
going on for the past few years with the
result that the excellence of the secondary
schools has been greatly increased, but
there Is point in admission requirements
beyond which the university must not CO.
The high school is the poor mans uni
versity and must teach those things that
Will be best for the greatest number: for
those who will never enter the college
doors, and the university can not raise its
standards of entrance to the point where
the high schools will no longer accomplish
this end. Mr.. Kammeyer thought the
growing elasticity in college admission re-
QuirementS was step in advance and
one that would give greater number
college advantages
intendent ] IL. Sawtelle, Wamego, and
was on Methods for improvements of
Teachers" Mr.. Sawtelle began by saying
that he believed there were too many "old
maids in the teaching profession, both
male and female; that there was no pro-
fession where il was easier to get into a
rdt: lawyer meets minds that are as
strong as his and he grows all the time
from this contact andt competition. A
minister can no longer feed his flock on
dried husks, but must interest his people
but school teacher has to deal with i'm
mature minds and the danger of growing
narrow and selfsatisfied is great. He made
a plea for a broader culture among
teachers.
The last paper of the session, and one
of the best, was by Professor Olin Temp
Education" Professor Templin believes
there is a tendency to admire only the arti-
ficial beautiful.
He thinks that there are stages in the
appreciation of the beautiful and that the
childs conception is different and more
crude than the mans and believes that
much harm is often done by forcing chill
dren into an alleged appreciation of. class
ical selections in literature that only
minds really appreciate. He made a plea
for childhood and asked that children be
not made old before their time.
In the business session of the associa-
ton the following editorial, from the West
ern School Journal for November, was en-
dorsed and adopted by the association:
AT the next meeting of the; legislature
provisions should be made for the estab-
fishing of manual training department
in connection with the State Reform
school, Every boy in the institution should
be taught a trade, and II is the duty Of
the state to furnish the necessary means
as soon as possible"

lege of controlling committee ,

lege of controlling committee work
throughout.
No decision mas yet been reached as to
what shall be done about filling the cleo
tive Offices of the senate, but the present
disposition is to postpone action upon that
subject for the present.
The general interest in the committee
changes centers in the committee on
finance. There are two vacancies in that
! committee caused by the retirement of
Senators Turpie, of Indiana. and White, Of
California, and the Republican senators
insist on filling both. The friends of Sem
ator Hanna are urging his election for one
of the places.
The probabilities are that the detailed
work of filling the committees will be del
egated to committee, and that no actual
changes will be made for several days, or
possibly weeks.
