Carl Gleason, Miss Florence TAFT
and Miss Therese Brockmann

journed until l p. M, when it
was again called to order by the
president. s'Science in the Un-
graded School," by Miss Emma
Neumann, was the first and one of
the most carefully prepared show
ing the writer had made it sub
ject Of deep thought. Discussion
led by Prof Miller.
The next, very excellent pa
per, "Infuences to help the Chill
dren," by Miss Florence TAFT pro
duced a lively discussion led by
Miss Maroon, Miss Neumann and
Miss Lola Coble.

paper by Mr.. Thomas Fahrion,
entitled "Teaching of Patriotism, ="

and very practical, containing a
few well directed suggestions con-
cerning the Speer Method. fol-
lowed by very general discus

A song by Miss Daisy Jackson
and Miss Bertha Kelley was very
much appreciated, evincing much
ability for children soyoung. A
"Trio," by Miss Nora Will and
the Misses Coble was also very
highly appreciated.
An excellent paper entitled
"Music in School," by Miss Mar
cia Doran, was next, which was
generally discussed, all conceding
that without music we have no
complete education as ii tends to
make the pupil more refined and
have nobler aspirations, closing
with n few wellchosen remarks
by Sup't Willard. A solo,
"yoices of the Wood" by Mrs.
Dickerson, was very much ap-
preciated by all present.

Merritt Greene Brings Suit to Have
Tax Titles Set Aside and Liens
Established,
Old City Hotel and Other City
Property Involved A Large
Court Docket.

f e "A number OIL aQQlllOudla pelllloHS We're
ifiledin the district court for trial at the
September term late Thursday after.
noon, bringing the number of the new
cases on the calendar up to nine
ty-four, number almost unpre-
scedented in the history of the Marshall
county courts.
Among the most important of these
are two actions of Merritt Greene to
have the title to valuable property in
this city set aside and a lien established
Saginst it on judgments held by him and
against r. +. Sears. The old city hotel
property at the corner Of Main and Sec
lond streets, on which is now situated
four new residences, is involved in one
suit, and C. T. LaPlant, who now holds
title to it, j. II. Augustine, Lodency
sChilds, II. f. Sears and the present ten
ants are made defenda $ to the action.
Mr.. Greene claims that these judgments
became and are now the property of the
plaintiff. that at the time Mr.. Sears
owned an undivided half interest in
lots II and IL, block Z, original town of
Marshall, and that these judgments
have been and are lien on said real
estate; that j. II. Augustine, in Janu-
AIRY, 1899. secured pretended tax or
treasurer's deed to the property and
afterwards decided the same to G.. L.
LaPlant; that the pretended tax deed
was null and void. for the reasons that
the judgments We're liens on the same,
and for other technical reasons set
forth at length.
The other3suit brought by Mr. Greene
names j. H. Augustine, Emily J. Au-
gustine and r.. r. Sears as defendants.
and the same judgments and liens are
sought to be established. but against
real estate situated in the western lin-
Its of the city. He asks, as in the other
case that the title be set aside and his
liens satisfied.
MORE AlISAI4ATED ONES.
Among the last petitions flied We're
those in several additional divorce
suits. Addie Peppers asks the court to
sever the marital ties with John Pep

treatment and non-support. She asks

HISTORICAL NOTES ON THE SCOTCH
METROPOLIS.

ROMANTIC EDINBURGH. BY John Geddies
Illustrated. l2mo pp. xii. 2S e r Dutton q
60.
The author Of this book declares its scope in
a commercially brief introductory note The
conclusion Of another century seems TO him "a
suitable time for the preparation OF wade
mecurn which the explorer of Edinburgh can
conveniently take with him on his walks. or
nroatably peruse by the fireside." 1t is right TO
prevent in this way any anticipations of an ex-
haustive historical and antiquarian treatise
which the tide might awaken. On the other
hand Romantic Edinburgh" makes out IN the
course of its 29S pages very satisfactory ex-
cuse for its appearance among the already
crowded ranks Of guide books. The tourist is
often oppressed and wearied by the dryness and
the over practical brevity Of his guide book, so
here is one which is neither dry nor over prac-
tical visit 10 Edinburgh generally has for its
motive the sentiment of history. and the sehti-
nent of history in relation 10 Edinburgh is very
prettily developed in these pages.
