The aIntsr sssep Reception.


The initial reception given the Bach
eIors' by the ladies Of the Inter Sese
club Wednesday evening at the Scott
residence, elected much praise from
the lips Of the guests.
The ladies were dressed in white, and
about twenty In number, and when the

into the parlor where the hostesses
rendered them handshaking and
showed every attention becoming the
event.

were Illuminated with blue and yellow
candles, the coIors Of the club. The
refreshment table was the base Of an
open pyramid, while the four edges
were formed by long strips Of blue and
yellow paper twisted together and at
tached to the ceiling. BOquets we're
abundant and floral decorations nicely

a collection was taken for the starving

eraI Tribute 90 Her Life.

just a year and i've days after her
wedding day, Mrs. b. D. Shoop. nee
Myrtle E. Boothroy. was killed By light
ming at her home seven miles south
west Of GOOdland on Sunday evening,
June 3, 1900. The funeral, which per-
haps is without precedent in the his
tory Of the county, was only ecliPsed
BY the sadness Of the occasion
Heavy thunder storms ragged over
various parts Of the county for several
days last week, and on Sunday even
ing q black thundercloud overhuDg
the country around Mr.. Shops farm.
Chain lightning played horizontally
through the. clouds, and occasionally
a terrific bolt would descend to the
earth. It was .one Of these that dealt
the mortal stroke to Mrs. ShoOp.
Mr.. Shoop, having stalled the milk
COWS, went 20 the house for the pals.
His wife wished to assist in milking, but
as q heavy rain was falling, he prefer
red that she should remain in the
house, but not prevailing, she went
also.
At the instant the lightning struck
the barn, Mrs. Shoop was standing in
a stall by the side Of a COW, while her
husband was IN the adjoining stall
Mrs. ShOOp the full force Of the
shock, which struck her on the top Of
the head, aud made its exit in the
ground demoIishing one Of her shoes.
She was instantly killed and Mr.. ShOOp
knocked insensible but recovering in
a few moments.
The funeral took place Tuesday af-
ternOOn, and was held from the MethO-
dist church, Rev. Woodward ofhoiat-
ing. Owing to the condition Of the
body arising from being kept two days
IN this hot weather, interment was
made and the funeral grafton immedi-
ately followed The procession to the
cemetery was fully one half mile long.
Mrs. ShOop, though but young WON
an, was we'll known and possessed Of
many friends. She was born in Jasper
county, Ia, December %, 1873, and
moved TO Sherman county with her
parents in 1887. She was married to
Mr.. Shoop May ., 1899. Her parents

Meeting Of County teachers.

The teachers of the county have long
felt the need of concerted action. We
have some district associations which
are now doing good work. but in order
to establish these on a firmer basis, it
is necessary to have a county league.
We should not stand idly by with hands
folded while laws are being Tor may
beg passed to the detriment of our
profession. 1t is not the wish or in
tention of the Legislature to do so
but such is often the case, simply be-
cause the teachers do not express their
wishes. We also need to give expires
sion to opinions on educational sub
jects. 10 this end it is my pleasure to
call a a meeting of the teachers of
the county, for Saturday, February 3,
at II a. m. We have not yet secured
a hall, but the meeting will be held in
Staunton Oh the above date and at the
stated time. Special committees will
meet at 10 o'clock. W. l.. KERR.
