Seem to be with the
Majorin This
Matter.

The election of officers for the
Eighth regiment which will occur Fri
day night in the various cities in which
companies forming the Regiment have
been established, promises to be an
interesting affair, 1t Is asserted that
Captain Weybrecbt will run for efec-
tion on an Independent ticket, and II
che remainder of the companies OF the
regiment act in accordance with the
local company, who favor Weybrecht,
that official will be elected as one OF
majors. The vote cast Friday after
noon and evening will be by individual
ballot. The regulations OF the regi-
ment requires the polls to remain open
from till 10 p. m, and the appoint
ment OF one Judge and two clerks
who shall receive the ballots as they
are voted upon by the rank and
file and they are recorded, the name OF
the voter and his connection with the
company and other data is taken by
them. The election officials shall then
certify to the legality OF the election
and with the tally sheet shall send in
their returns to the board OF canvass
ers. This board was recently appoint
ed at Akron and consists of Captain
Gerlach, Wooster, secretary, and Cap

mand of the various Companies. 1t Il

take place without majority OF the
members OF the company are present
and voting by proxy Is prohibited.
A very important ruling by Attorney
General Monnett has been promulgated
concerning the election of officers OF
an independent ticket. 1t is affirmed
by that official that voters are no
bound to abide by the nomination
which had been made, but that Officers
can be elected by majority vote o
the voters of the regiment, and that al
election to Office in such manner Is en-
tirely legal. 1t is we'll understood tina
the local company favors the election
of Weybrecht and that the majority o
their votes will be cast for him TO
major. They are all for Lieutenan
Colonel Dick for colonel.

VIEWED FROM AKRON.

An Akron special to the Plain Dealer
says: A bitter war is already on over
the reorganization of the old Eighth
regiment. The regiment is divided di.
into two factions, and with the
exception of Lieut.. Colonel Charles
Dick practically every officer and man
in the regiment is lined up with one or
the other faction. Dick is the unani-
nous choice of both factions for colo
mel of the regiment.
Under the scheme of reorganization
the companies were mustered in fret
and the captains OF the companies met
in Akron Monday to nominate field
officers. The field officers were out
OF the service and had no say.
Majors Vollrath and Weybrecht were
turned down, and when they learned
what had been done they were furious.
Vollrath saw Attorney General Mon
nett and secured an opinion to the ef-
feet that the men were not bound to
accept the nominees OF the officers con-
vention, but that they could elect whom
they wished. Fortified by this decis-
ion Vollrath announced himself as a
Weybrecht announced that he was a
candidate for major. Working togeth.

company in the regiment and they

CRITCHFIELD HERE.


Captain Critchfeld, Of Shreve, was
in the city today. He says that If
votes are offered for any one other than
those nominated at Akron they will not
be counted, which is tantamounJ to
saying that the men have nothing
whatever to say as to the personnel of
the officers.
Captain Philip Yost said today that
there was an article in the laws
governing the regiment that no
one should be voted for but those
nominated, but he said he was not pre-
pared to offer any advice in the matter
and did not know OF ruling that ad-
mitted of votes being counted for an
independent candidate. A private sol.
dier said today that If the men were not
permitted to vote for any but those
nominated, it was farce to have the
election at all.

work, but the knowledge those wee
ladies and gentlemen showed of frac-
tons, of the significance of fractions as
something by which comparisons of
size, length, cost of things and more
could be expressed was prettily brought
out by their use of the blocks, and made
a very pleasing part of the program.
After takinga recess, paper by Miss
Frances Cook, principal of the Corunna
high school, followed song by the
fifth grade pupils of the Corunna
schools The subject was deficiencies
in the scholarship of the country
eighth grade pupils who enter high
school on the country diploma" Miss
Cook pointed out that owing to the
great advances made in educational
matters on every hand things were
relatively not the same in the country
schools as few years ago. The COL
leges and universities had increased
their demands and had been instru-
mental in raising the efficiency of the
work of the high schools but the work
of the district schools had not made any
where near corresponding advance.
History in the grades and the neces-
sary preparation on the part of the
teacher for this work" was handled by
Miss Alice Hough, of Durand, while the
same subject with the exception that
the high school rather the grades was
the place in which the subject was es-
pecially considered was discussed by
Miss Edith Hartshorn, of Owosso.
Miss Houghs paper was scholarly pro-
duction, dealing with the highly impor-
tant place occupied by history in the
real education of any person not only
from the culture and the knowledge of
the past which even an ordinary educa-
ton presupposes but more than any
thing else because the study of histories
is so instrumental in making true men
and women and better citizens. Miss
Hartshorn's paper was more technical
in its nature and dealt more with what
should be taught in high school course
and the things which should not be
omitted if it was necessary to omit any.
The paper was quite largely discus
sion of the famous report of the Com
mittee of Seven"
In discussing these two papers Supt.
+ L. Austin commended the study of
the report of the committee of seven to
all teachers informing them that it
could be got from the Mcmillan Com
pany of New York for fifty cents

The regular reporter being absent l
will try and give you short account of
the days doings. The meeting was
held at the pleasant home- Mr.. and
Mrs. Giles, in Middlebury, and was well
attended. The visitors present were
Mr.. and Mrs. Bilhimer and two little
daughters, Mrs Merrill, Miss Minnie
Ockerman, Mr.. Cass Ockerman and Mr..
Emory Simpson.
The meeting was opened in the usual
manner and then the questions were
taken up and answered Some of the
questions brought out quite discus
sion: think these questions are one
of the most interesting features of the
club. They embrace all kinds of sub
jects that are of any value to farmers,
and everybody expresses their opinion
of them freely.
The dinner was as usual, great sue
cess. After dinner Mr.. Love brought
out q blackboard and several wants
were advertised on it.
Delegates to the state association
were elected as follows: Messrs. G..
L. Mason. Fred Love, Mrs. G. T. Mason
and Mrs. Love. The regular topics
were talked on, also the state subject.
Mrs. Ella Doane gave recitation, and
so did little Miss Iva Bilhimer. Miss

particularly gratifying to republicans,

Congress but will remain with the U. s.

the following statement: Congress, If
it occupies the first day of the session in
passing a resolution declaring in unmis'
taxable terms that the sovereignty of the
United States is to be maintained in the
Philippines, thus dispelling Aguinaldo's
delusion that the anti-imperialists can
assist him, will be performing sacred
duty. Such resolution would save the

reached General Lawton by courier
from General Young that people know

With General Lawton's troops in q
position to move toward Bayombong
from every road from the south and
with impenetrable mountains peopled
by unfriendly, semi-savage tribes be-
hind, Bayombong would be poor
refuge.
1t is reported that General Lawton is
moving northward from Tayug with
infantry to head off Aguinaldo.
General Young has only one troop of
cavalry and the Macabebes, who orig
inally numbered 300. Aguinaldo is

YANKToN,. s. D., Nov. 23.-The de-
falcation and disappearance of County
Treasurer A. w. Peterson has caused
considerable excitement in this city in
the last few days. The board of county
commissioners has been engaged exam
lining his books and accounts and they
found shortage of $4,000, with $4,000
deposited in the Yankton Savings bank.
This they endeavored to draw out, but
their request was refused on the ground
that Treasurer Peterson or some duly
appointed treasurer should sign checks.
This cannot be done now, as the bank
was forced to close it's doors after with
standing a three days run. Suit will
at once be instituted by the commits
sioners against Peterson and his bonds
men to recover total shortage Of $22,-
900. AS the savings bank was the chief
depository for the treasurers Office wild
rumors gained circulation stating the
treasurer's defalcation had weakened
the bank and the run was the result.

Indian reservation in Tama county are
ready to start on the warpath.
l. E. Wilcox Of Montour was in con-

of his personal intercession that the
Indians had been prevented from max

with Judge Shiras to go to Cedar Rap

aged Is, confined in the Indian traini
school at olcdO for a month. Wilcox
returned to his home later, assuring the
officials that he will be able to control

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-At the war
department it is stated that the infor-
mutton received from the Department
of Texas is to the effect that the trouble
at Fort Ringgold is nothing more than
drunken border row, and the belief is
expressed that it has been exaggerated
as to its proportions. The secretary of
war has sent a dispatch to Governor
Sayres in reply to the demand for the
removal Of the troops, saying that the
department had already taken meas
ures to preserve peace and restore or
der. 1t is not now the present inten-
tion of the war department to remove
the troops from Fort Rlnggold, as it is
believed that the difficulties can be COR
rected without any such action. 1t is
quite likely that some more experienced
officer will be sent to command at
Ringgold.
