A Census Illustration.

The population of Pike county
according to the n of 1900, is
25,744. In 1890 it was 26,421. This
is a loss of SIT, and If anybody
can SCI any prosperity in these
hggers they have better eyeballs

Certainly a loss of 557 in the
population of Pike county in the
past ten years will not give us a
reputation as a prosperous and
progressive people. But let us

JESSIE 1oRRIsoN's CRIME.

Eldorada, Kan, Nov. 30.-When
court convened for the Jessie Nor
rison trial to-day the court room
was packed with people, 90 per
cent of whom were women. Miss
Morrison sat with her right elbow
on the arm of her chair most of
the day, and with her face leaning
ON her hand. On request of the
defense, all witnesses we're ex-
cluded from the court room, except
members of immediate families,
and all instructed not to
about the case.
In opening the case for the state
Mr.. Brumback said:
We expect the evidence to show
that Jessie Morrison went by a
circuitous route to Mr.. Castles
house, prepared to kill and murder
Clara Wiley Castle" They would
show, he said, that the prisoner
went armed with two razors, or a
razor and a knife, and that she at
tackled Mrs. Castle, in%flicting eight
cen wounds. The crime, it would
be shown was committed through
passion, jealousy and anger, mall
ice and hatred sgainst Mrs. Castle
and her husband, and the state
would ask for a verdict OF
der in the first degree.
A. 7. Kramer stated the case for
the defense, and said they would
show that Miss Morrison had cut
Mrs. Castle in self-defense after
the latter had attacked her. They
would show, he said, that Olin
Castle continued to pay Miss Nor
rison attention after he became
engaged to Miss Wiley, and that
he continued to make her presents
and send her love letters. The
evidence would show that Castle
showed all of the defendants notes
and letters to Miss Wiley, and that
the latter became extremely jealous
and unfriendly toward Miss Nor
rison; that Miss Wiley, after she
had become Mrs. Castle, called
Miss Morrison into her house, and
after accusing her of being to in
innate with Castle, attacted her
with a razor. After that Miss Nor
rison cut Mrs. Castle in self-de-
Tense.
"What she did," said Attorney
Kramer, twas done because she
thought it was necessary to save
her own life; the other woman
was pressing the fight, and Jessie
Morrison did what she did in order
to keep the other woman in her
anger and frenzy from killing

A MARVELLOUS ESCAPE.
4 Workman on a Pan-American
Building Swept from His Lofty
Perch In the Recent Gale.

The great windstorm which did
so much damage in Tennessee and
other Southern States on Nov. p,
blew through Bnffalo at the rate of
80 miles an hour. Fear was enter
tanned for the safety of the build
ings of the Pan-American Expo
sition but they are of such sub
stantial construction that they
sustained no special injury. The
only damage done of any con-
sequence was to the building in
course Of erection on the Midway
for the Cyclorama of Missionary
Ridge. This was at such a stage
of construction that 1t could not be
lbraccd against the storm and the
framework was blown down.
A workman in the top staging
of the big Horticulture building
had n wonderful escape from death
when the first gust struck the
grounds. He was working at a
heighth of 100 feet from the ground.
The wind lifted him from his lofty
perch like a straw. Death seemed
his certain fate when, grasping in
his rapid flight at anything which
came in his way, his hand touched
a swaying rope attached to a der
rick which carries material from
the ground to the top of the build
ing. Gripping the rope with des-
peration of a dying man he was
carried clinging to it far out from
the building. To get back was an
impossibility, with the wind blow
ing him in the opposite direction
and he feared he could not cling
long enough to the rope in that
gale to descend hand over hand, so
he slid the entire length of the
rope, 100 feet, to the ground. His
hands were burned to the bone,
and the blood was dripping from
them when he was taken to the
hospital on the grounds, but his
life was saved.

A joint debate between Bryan
and Croker as to the causes of the
democratic defeat would attract
much attention and add to the
gayety of the nation. Both politi-
cal leaders have been extremely
garrolous this year. A period of
silence in their cases would excite
general surprise.-New York Trib-
une.
This is the answer to the chal-
lenge OF Bryanismanti- imperialism

eral chaos. The answer is so
emphatic and overwhelming that
we may rest with perfect confidence
in the conclusion that the issues of
1896 and 1900 will never have 10

in this Observation-Disclosures

The Western farmers must have
suffered themselves to be "deluded

OF the ten states with a silver re-
publican and populist organization

These ten states have together

Doctors know many things which
will kill the microbes of the worst
diseases, but do not use them be-
cause they kill the patient too. Just
like Bryan's scheme for furnishing
by taking the tariff OFF the
articles they produce. That would
end the trusts, and also the labor
employed by them. The trouble

room a home-like appearance. The
stove should be placed near the
entrance and encircled by a sheet
iron jacket so as to heat the room
more by circulation'th by radia-
ton. Seats should be arranged
with the different sizes in rows to
themselves and set near enough to
each other so that little children
will not be compelled to sit on edge
of seat and lean forward to reach
the desk. Nearly every school
visited was poorly heated and had
seats badly arranged. Some dis
tricts have clean floors, bright
walls, good black boards, pictures
and other means of ornamental
ton on the walls. All these add
much to the interest, and cost COM
paratively nothing except fore
thought and energy. The worst
conditions except a slovenly teach
er, are dirty, dingy dusty, and in
some instaces, filthy floors and
desks.
Many school boards are wisely
purchasing some books for sup
Elementary work and in o
operation with the teacher, are
making good selections. Other
districts, notably in Monroe, Char
iton, and Clinton counties, direc-
tors have been influenced by i'm
posters to purchase a lot OF books
that are not worth anything to the
school. 1t is reported that men
representing what they call the
missouri Library Association"
claiming the Endorsement of the
state school department, are SELL
ing about fifty books for S42.50.
These books may be purchased for
less than one-third that amount,
besides they serve no good pur-
pose in the school. The same may
be said of charts. At least half of
the schools have spent in recent
years from $50 to $50 for useless
charts. Men who have gone about
the country selling these things do
not seek the Endorsement of the
teacher. They tell directors that
teachers do not know what they
want.
There are too many smallschools.
Such are either too expensive or
they are in the hands of experience
I'd teachers. A school of forty
pupils is generally better than a
school of twenty. Everybody
knows that the teacher, more than
physical environment, makes the
school; and yet sympathy and CO.
operation of directors and patrons
are necessary. These are most
apparent in the equipment for the
work and in the length of time the
teacher has been retained in the
same position.
The important question is how to
improve the teaching corps, not
how to change it. 1t is more inn
portant to organize and systemic
the generally accepted work of
schools than to introduce new
things. 1t is most important to
ambitious children higher
and better opportunities within
reach of their own homes so as to
others. These thiags
can not well be accomplished
without close supervision of all
schools. Speak to your represent
tative about needed legislation.

The following problems on
jury duty is taken from the Star
and is very appropriate at the
present time: Zone of the i'm
portant problems to be solved
is What can be done to prevent
responsible, taxpaying citizens,
from sinking jury duty?" Mat
ters have come to such a pass
that our business citizens gen
orally and those who should be
most interested in the general
welfare, shirk jury duty. Now
this is wrong. This avoiding
jury duty is shirking one of the
gravest responsibilities of citi-
zenship. Aye, it is avoiding a
sacred privilege. Should law
be passed prohibiting these same
citizens from serving as jurors
it would cause a great outcry
and result in a mass meeting de-
nounCing the injustice of such a
law. Would it not be we'll for
our leading and responsible citi-
zensbip to consider the hazard
they are visiting upon the com
munity and the territory by thus
refusing to aid in the just exc
cution of the laws under which
we live? There is no good ex
cuse to be offered in defense o1
the business man, the substan
tial citizen, the tax payer, the
heads of families avoiding jury
duty or refusing to enjoy this
privilege of citizenship. AS
long as this shirking of jury
duty is carried on by our gooG
citizens, just so long will the
tax rate keep up and life anc
reputation be at a discount. y
