"Papa" pays the cost.

This is the way the Centralia
Courier puts it:
Miss Dollie Grigsby is an Amer
lean school teacher with plenty of
grace and grit. Last winter she
taught school near LaddOnia.
On the 10th of January the son of
F.. F.. Haycraft needed Il hogging
and Miss Grigsby did her duty in
the premises in a most thorough
manner. Papa Haycraft got mad
as thunder and sued the teacher
for Il little matter of Il couple of
thousand wheels. But the Jury
couldn't see it in that way last
week when it came up in the Au-
drain Circuit court Instead of
getting the swag, or any part of it,
Papa Haycraft gets the privilege of
paying the cost. 1t is to be hoped
that he and his son both know
more now. Our compliments to
the manipulation of the birch. May
she live long today on McDuff."

Complaints to be Heard.

issued an order for a hearing at
Fulton, Mo-, for July 9 to inves-
tigate the numerous complaints
filed with them by citizens of Cal
laway county against the present
schedule of the south branch of
the Chicago and Alton Railway
Company. These complaints al
lege that the branch trains do not
make convenient connections with
the trunk line trains at Mexico,
thereby greatly discommoding the
travelling public. The complaints
are both numerous and bitter, and,
when the matter is fully investiga-
ted, it is quite likely that there
will be Encouragement of the
schedule, with, perhaps, the addi-
ton of Sunday train, something
that has never been run on the
branch.

Onepapa's Likeness.

Washington, June 2S.-Some
curiosity has been expressed in
regard to the Indian head of the
new 81 bills, and inquiries have
been made as to whether it is a
portrait. Acting Secretary Van
derlip yesterday answered this
qu estion in the affirmative, hut
said the subject of the portrait
was not selected for this distinc-
ton because Of his heroism or spe-
cial friendship for the whites.
I'VE wanted a picture of a typi-
cal Indian, and one which would
contain Il number of decorations,
so as to be difficult to counterfeit.
In the picture of Onepapa, a
Sioux, we found what we wanted

crate head-dress of feathers, bits
of fur and the like, arranged so as
to be very difficult to reproduce

COUNTY SUPERVISION.
Audraln Teachers Want a
Better Plan Than 1--WE
are Working Under"

After a profitable two weeks
session, the County Teachers In
stitute held at Laddonia adjourned
last Saturday. The Institute took
pronounced stand in favor of
county supervision. One of the
teachers said: Elm the name of
justice and humanity our present
system must be changed. Om
school law is deficient in some re-
spects, but it provides better
plan than we are working under,
and that is county supervision
Have a salaried officer to look after
the schools of our county, devot-
ing all his time thereto and hold
ing examinations at certain times
ut his office"
The Institute passed the follow
ing resolutions:
To the instructors and teachers
of Audrain County Normal Insti-
tute. We, your committee, re-
spectfully submit the following
resolutions, Be it
Resolved; /. That we, the teach
ers, extend thanks to the school
board and citizens of Laddonia
for their many courtesies and kind
hospitality which have rendered
our stay among them very pleas
ant.
,. To the Baptist Church for
the use of song books and to Miss
Mary Hatton for her services as
organist and to Prof. Faulkner
for leading the singing.
3. To Prof. Mcmillan for his eff
ficient management of the insti-
tute and to his assistant instruct
ors, Professors Scott, Faulkner
and Patterson, for the able man
ncr in which they have presented
the several subjects to their classes.
4. We extend our sincere SYM
pathy to Commissioner Bruce in
his present affection and trust that
he may soon be restored to health.
Also we wish to assure him of our
appreciation of his effort in max
ing this meeting so successful.
). That it is with high degree
of satisfaction that we note the adj
vancement of the standard of edu-
cation and that in keeping with
the progress of the times we believe
there is an urgent demand for more
systematic work in the rural schools,
and as we believe that nothing
will so much contribute to this end
as the county supervision of schools,
we recommend that this question
be submitted to the voters of Au-
drain county at the next election,
and hereby pledge ourselves to do
all within our power toward Sc
curing county supervision. There
fore we recommend that our con
ductor appoint Il standing commit
tee of five to secure the required
number of signatures and present
the same to the county court in
accordance with the law govern
