Americans In the Transvsal May Possibly

Gen. Henderson viii submit
Financial Bill to Caucus.

Washington, Sept. ga plan is un'
der consideration at the war depart
ment to create an army division OF the
Philippines and divide the division into
departments on u basis similar to that
in Cuba The idea is to create four de-
partments in the Philippines, at least
three of them to be commanded by ma
jor generals. The Philippines hereto
fore have been known as the depart
ment of the Pacific. 1t is expected
that one department Of the proposed
new division will consist OF Gen. Mac
Arthur's command north of Manila, an
other will be Gen. Lawton's command
south of Manila, and a third will be a
new command to operate from Linga-
yen or Dagupen. A fourth department
probably will consist of troops in the
islands south Of Manila, which include
the commands now at lloilo, Cebu and
other points. The plan is to give each
department commander all the troops
that can be successfully operated and
also insure sufficient garrisons for all
points taken. Protection to the peace
able tribes is one of the chief objects
sought, as representations made to the
war department indicate that many OF
the inhabitants do not want to fight
and, If unmolested and relieved from
fear of attack by the Tagalos, will as
sist in supporting the authority Of the
United States and make 1t impossible
for the followers of Aguinaldo TO sub.
sist.
NOT IN DANGER OF IMPREssMENT.
Washington, Sept. s3.-No American
citizen in the Transvaal republic stands
in danger of impressment into the Boer
army in the opinion of the state de-
partment and, Notwithstanding many
appeals have been received from pri-
vate sources to protect our citizens
from such impressment, it Is not neces-
sary to change in any manner the well
established policy Of the departmental
dealing with such subjects. 1t is pos
sible for an American to lose his United
States citizenship by long residence in
the Transvaal; by concentrating his
entire bushes there; by failure to clear
ly establish his intention to return to
the United States and in other ways
In such cases the state department can
not demand their exemption and 1t is
conceivable that there are number OF
individuals in this status in the Trans
vaal. But all actual American citizens
will be fully protected and all Of their
exemptions upheld by the United States
government.

he commented extensively on the last
monthly report Of the police court,
urging all TO ascertain the facts un-
colored by party prejudice, and then
act independent. lie was followed by
Judge r. l., Martin, who thought what
he wanted TO say would sound better
out Of the pulpit. He was somewhat
severe, though not unjus we believe, In
his criticism Of the good people Of the
city for not having made their intlu-
ence telt more efiectnally heretofore.
His speech excited a good deal Of en-
thuslasm, Prof. Winans was also pre-
sented and explained how leasons of
good citizenship we're taught In school
and exhorted the citizens to attain TO
higher standard OF morals.
Mrs. Woodland rendered a solo, after
which Dr. Hall presented set OF res

SCHOOL NOTES.

The South. Central teachers associa-
tion of this county met at Pretty Prai-
rie Saturday evening, February 18th.

was filed and pleasant and profitable
time enjoyed. Among the most i'm
portant topics d discussed were, Ian
Ruage Arts" by Miss Flora Thorp;
"Child Study" Harry Cole; "What are
sufficient reasons to withhold teach
er's certl6catep" Superintendent Day
hoff; "Wbat should be required Of
common school graduatesp" Prof.
Woodson; and ageneral talk by the ed
itor of the School and FireSide.
Gov. Stanley has appointed A. II.
Bushey, superintendent Of the Peabody
schools; Guy P. Benton, Of Baker Uni
yersity, and Supt. W. M. Massey, Of
Sumner county, members Of the Kan
sas State board of Education. All
the gentlemen are well qualified and
have the confidence Of the teachers
throughout the State.
The Central Association held an in
teresting session February lS at Abby
vile. A goodIy number Of teachers
were present anG large number OF
patrons. 1t was one Of the best ses-
sions Of the year.
The Northeastern Association meets
March IL, 1899 at Central school build
ing. A large attendance is desired.
All teachers should be present as this
is the last meeting Of the year.
Miss Mabel Gibbs closed a most suc-
cessful term of school last Friday in
school district 49. This was her first
term and she has made IA success. The
field is ever open to those who are
willing to advance.
The final examination in orthO-
graphy, penmanship and reading was
submitted by the county superintend-
ent to the seventh and eighth grade
pupils last Friday. The result of the
test is most gratifying. The papers
show progress. The teachers gener-
ally have been doing excellent work
this year, perhaps better than last.
Mr.. VIM. Willer's school at No. lac,
closed last Friday.
Jos. Schisler has resumed bis work
at Eastonville, Colo, after a brief Ill
ness.
Some patrons have adopted the plan
Of inviting the teachers Of their town
ship to tea and an evenings social en-
tertainment. This is a good plan.
The benefit is mutual and the teachers
become better acquainted and more So
cial. / hope this practice will become
more common. Mrs. Geo. Avery, of
Avery, Kansas, should be given credit
for the starting of this custom.
Miss Anna Cockey closed success
full term Of school in No. l59 last Fri
day. This was her second term in 159.

A Case for Sympathy.


Another wedding by request of the
city marshall was consumated AZ the
probate judges office Monday. A
young man from town In Mcpherson
county seems TO have lured daughter
Of farmer away from home. The
father Of the girl had some trouble in
locating her, but she finally wrote to
him Saylpg she was working In q tes-
taurant-and needed money. He wrote
the marshal that he would be down for
reckoning in few days and that II
any attempt was made to get away he
wished them arrested. On Saturday
the young man told the girl he must
leave few days to get work. The
officers had discovered that The unfor-
tunate girl was In much trouble and
decided that he was attempting to de-
sert her. They were arrested there
fore and taken into police court where
the young man was told the best thing
he could do was to marry the girl. He
then seemed to think too 1t was time
20 redeem his pledge and they were ac-
companied by an officer, as witness,
to Judge Stewards office and when they
left they were man and wife. Those
acquainted with the case have much
sympathy for the young lady. Out Of
respect for her the names are withheld.
The father seemed to be nearly heart
broken.
