A Jefferson City correspondence
in the Mississippi Valley Democrat,
after commenting favorably upon the
school measure recently introduced
by Hon. Geo. B. Ellis of Bates, says:
''AIr. Ellis is a native Ct Sullivan
county, Ind, was educated at the
Assertion Normal and Evansville
Ind) Business College, and has
had valuable experience in teaching
both IN Indiana and Missouri. He
is representing Bates county now for
the second time, and two years ago
he was one of the most earnest, &C,
tive and intelligent members of the
committee on education of which
committee he is again member. His
bill has the endorsement of Hon W.
L. Darlington, state uperintendent
of public schools and Mr.. Ellis hopes
by it's enactment to secure not only
more efficient teachers, but more
systematic grade Of district schools
aud place within the reach of the
poorest child the advantages of
high school education, as it were,
right at home"

that Miles will rise, like Bapquo's

Month.

Second Missouri Boys Will Be Relieved Thi.
Month.
Albany, Ga. Feb, 3.-The United
States army officer in charge of the
muster out of the First Territorial
Regiment visited Colonel Caffee OF
toe Second Missouri this morning
aud officially informed him that the
Second Missouri was TO be mustered
out
A statement appeared In an Atlanta
paper yesterday that Tia regiment
would BE- mustered out, bat the men
have been deceived so often by such
reports that they placed little faith
in it When the Colonel sent for
band and had it play Home, Sweet
Home" in front IF his quarters.
however, all doubt was removed, and
the men were enthusiastic Hats,
caps and sticks were thrown in the
air, and the yeIls of the men drowned
the muse. The Colonel explained
the situation, told the men at what
time they might expect to go home,
complimente1 them on Their sol
dierly conduct, and finished his
remarks by proposing three cheers
for the Second Missouri They were
given with a will, and were followed
by three more for the Colonel The
band played the Star Spangled
Banner" and the men returned to
their duties.
The records and papers of the
Second Missouri are in much better
shape than those Of a majority of
the volunteer organizations, and it
will take but a comparatively short
time = muster out the regiment
when The officers once get to work.
The G lionel SAID that the regiment
would he out of the service NOT later
than March
The WORK of mastering out the
Third Miss,s sppi will begin as soon
as that OF the Second Missouri is |
completed

SPOTTED FEVER is RAGING.
Many Are Dying Daily in Morgantown,
Kentucky.

Many Are Dying Daily in Morgantown
Kentucky.
Lexington, Ky, Feb. IA letter
from Morgantown, the county seat
of Butler county in the western part
of Kentucky, Is miles from any
railroad, says an epidemic of spotted
fever, or spinal meningitis, is raging
there, old and young dying rapidly
1t is impossible 10 estimate how
many have died and there is no one
able to report the true condition 1t
is known that there is no longer any
collins in the place to bury the dead.
The people are panic. stricken and
fleeing in all directions. 1t is report
ed that there are now only few left
to nurse those who are helpless.
The female seminary, as we'll as
the public school is closed and the
pupils all hurried away to their
respective homes The physicians
have been doing heroic work, but
seem powerless to check the disease
Attorney General Taylor, whose
home is at Morgantown, and Circuit
Judge Settles went there from
Frankfort on boat Sunday last to
open court on Monday, but they
found the country in such a panic
that they did not leave the boat and
the judge sent word that the term
of court had been indefinitely post
poned.
Many people escaped from the
place on this boat, which stopped
only few minutes at the Morgan
town wharf.
Morgantown is a place of LOO
inhabitants, situated on a hill, aud
has been considered very healthy.
Several large saw mills are located
there and the theory advanced is
that the decsying sawdust started
the epidemic.

America, like England, is an earnest advocate
of the open-door policy in China; but the Jour

disadvantages that will result from making Ia

that her ambition in China lies in the same line

A Living Arrow.

This is fish story but it's true, if the writings
of a man who signs F. r. G. S. after his name
count for fact. We all know the gar" long
thin gentleman like an elongated pckerel that
often occupies stall in Our fish markets They
rarely attain length of over twelve inches here,
but at Aru Fiji and Whereabouts they grow
much larger and the bill, armed with sharp teeth.
is a weapon to be dreaded.
The fish bask fabitually at the very surface
of the water and become extremely excited and,
in the larger specimens. vicious at the slightest
alarm.
The gentleman who describes the incident was
collecting specimens of shells along the reef in
the Aru Islands, natives towing the boat along
the streets and by-ways, Tossing the useless
specimens and punches of coral overheard again.
in doing this he noticed that almost invariably
the large gars that were in the vicinity would
start out of the water and dash away at head
long speed, glancing in and out of the water
like shot One of the fish coming near the
boat he observed that as soon as its direction
could be determined, the native lifted up the pc
culiar flat basket that he carried and held it as
shield, at the same time raising his club.
The idea of using basket as shield seemed
conical one but was nevertheless good one,
