At the meeting of the Union District
Teachers Association of Marshall
county, held at Benwood yesterdays
there was a large attendance and the
exercises were very interesting and
profitable. There were two sessions,
one at the Central school building IN
the afternoon, and the other at the
NJ. E. church In the evening.
A number of questions Of more or
less Importance in school work were
introduced and thoroughly discussed
during the meeting. Those having
papers handled their respective topics
in a very creditable manner, and those
present were given an excellent oppor-
tunity of becoming o thoroughly
enlightened in school work in general.
The subjects under discussion were:
Modern Developments in Education
"How to get rid of the class and make
prominent the Individual in our in
struction," What shall we aim to do
for our pupils?" Objectionable and
unobjectionable fiction for our school
youth" How should a teachers sue
cess in school work be measured and
"Froebel." Among those taking part
in the exercises were Chas. H. Eberfs,
Miss Alta Edwards, Prof. NJ. E. Cor
man, principal of the North Benwood
school, Miss Josephine Landers, Miss
Ella Campbell, A. A. Bassett, Miss
Jessie Marsh, Miss Annie Pelley, Miss
Brown, Prof. C. E. Carrigan, principal
of Central school, Miss Lena Conner,
o. B. Hughes, Miss Anna McCabe, L.
M. Crow, Miss Lottie Price, Miss
Nora Dolbeare, Martin Brown and Miss
Katie Hall.
The meeting was interspersed with
some pleasing and appropriate music,
which was selected by a committee
composed of Miss Dora Davis, Miss
Anna Policy and Prof. M. E. German.
A feature of the evening session at the
M. e. church was a number OF songs
rendered by @ chorus of sixty school
children, all OF whom were instructed
for the occasion. There were twenty
three Of the Twenty-Five teachers OF
the district in attendance at both ses-
sions, and each recess was made a
period for social enjoyment. Among
the visitors were Prof. T. H. Crago,
principal of the Richie schools, of
Wheeling. 1t was in every respect one
OF the most successful meetings ever
held by the association. The pro-
gramme as carried out, was not only
instructive from an educational stand
point but served to promote sociabil-
dty among the members.

LOVE.

Written for the Register.
Low shall l kneel,
In high appeal,
To touch they gentle heart.
MOI will l feel
That aught can steal
What death alone should part
Some others love,
With softer glove,
Might press that little hand;
Though l will say
There's not to-day
Sue truth IN all the land.
Then let me say,
While Yet / pray
That you may happy be,
There is no art
Within this heart
That lives through love for thee.
Love sing a song,
/ may be wrong
To u for such a prize:
Yet on that brow
One can see now,
The dream you realize.
And if farewell,
1 will not tell,
How much / loved in vain:
Nor breathe my sorrow,
On lfe'S sad morrow,
That breaks to bring more pain.
Dear, give me back.
Truth will not rack
A heart so wrapped In love:
Born in b skies
Such love ne'er dies
But parts to above

MRS. THORPE's TRIP.
Her Troubles In Keeping an Appoint
ment 60 Speak.

Mrs. Thorpe thinks she has proved
the old adage about the viii and the
way. She was to go on business from
Christ's hospital here to meet the man
ayers of Gushing hospital in Leaven-
worth at noon. She expected to take
the first car for Christ's hospital (morn-
ing of the 9th) and return for the 7:30
Santa Re train. She went to the trans
fer station in the dark and rain-but
found the first car started out from
Jackson and Tenth. So to Jackson and
Tenth she went only to see the car slip
away just beyond the reach of her voice
and there would be no other car out
until it had returned from the west end
and gone to Gordon and back-so there
was not alternative but to walk.
It was SO dark and so muddy, the
names Of streets could not be seen, but
Mrs. Thorpe knew she was on West
Tenth, so she proceeded until the h0spi-
tai was reached which she could only
locate by the lights in the windows.
Then began the race to catch the Santa
Fee. The car back just missed the one
for that depot, so Mrs. Thorpe got off
at Fifth and walked to the depot only
train just slipping over Third street
The journey must be made, SO Mrs
Thorpe took the street car for the I'm
ion Pacific depot, took the S:20 Kansas
City train, got off at Bonner Springs,
walked back from the Union Pacific
depot there, a half mile down the track
to the Santa, Fe depot, crossing a tres
for the very train that ran away from
her at the Santa Fe depot in Topeka,
and kept her appointment at the very
hour set, although it rained all day.

CHECK IN IRON TRADE.
Many Circumstances Contribute to q
Reduction of Business.

New York, Jan. 11.-Diseussing the
condition of the iron and metal trades
the Iron Age says today:
Owing to the fact that a considerable
number of southern blast furnaces were
banked during the holidays, our blast
furnace returns for the first of this
month show that productive capacity
entered the new year at a smaller rate
than it was early in December. This,
however, is only a temporary matter.
Slowly a number of additional stacks
are getting ready for work and the
output is likely to go on increasing,
provided, however, that there be no &C
cfdents. Just now the fuel supply is
getting to be serious. We hear of bank
ing now and there is much significance
too in the report that the famous Edgar
Thomson coke pile must be drawn upon
In other words the least arrangement
in the Clockwork movement in the pig
iron industry promptly checks the cur
rent of enormous production.
In foundry irons the market is prac-
tically at a deadlock Important con-
Stunning interests are holding off to test
the resistance of makers, While the ma
jority of the latter are Indifferent.
1.-The steel market is exceedingly dull
In finished material there is some stiff
fleming, notably in the west where an
understanding among leading interests
seem to have reached on the prices OF
bars and of skelp.
"A better feeling prevails in the sheet
trade Isaac w. Frank, of Pittsburg,
has again been appointed to receive OPP
lions on April 1. 1t seems that even if
some large interests in the Pittsburg
district do not join, the work of con-
sslidation is to go forward.
In structural material and in plates
business has been rather quiet lately.
''Since the opening of the year a con-
siderable number of announcements of
increases in wages have been made In
nearly every case they deal with very
large bodies of men, who are thus shar-
ing in the prosperity of the iron trade

LOST THE TASTE
For Ordinary Coffee.

1T is strange how people will try to
invent some cause for their feeling bad,
rather than to charge the trouble to
some habit they may have that they
have good reason to believe is the real
cause. For instance, all the time that
we were using coffee on our table I was
subject to occasional terrible head
aches, and my husband was half sick
with nervous troubles.
I'VE felt satisfied that coffee was the
cause, but were afraid we wouldn't like
Postum Cereal Coffee, and therefore
tried in every way to thinR that some
thing in the food or some other reason
was the real cause of our troubles At
ter reading several articles in regard to
the evil effects of coffee drinking, and
the merits of Postum Food Coffee. I be-
came convinced of the truth of the
statements. and called my husband s
attention to them.
He was skepticaI on the subject, but
to please me, said we would give Pos
tum a trial, so he procured a package
and made it, but the milk we were
using was of the kind that produced lit
tie cream, and that did not give US as
good beverage as we found afterWard
could be secured with cream, However
in spite of the drawback, We grew to
like the Postum Food Coffee, and both
of US found ourselves greatly bene-
fitted by the change. My head ceased
to trouble me entirely, and my husband
I'VE were out of the Postum for a
time, and having coffee in the house
and feeling so much better we con-
Guided to try the coffee again but in
a. few days my headaches came back,
so that we became satisfied where the
real trouble existed. Weused Postum for
quite long time and still having some
coffee in the house. we tried coffee again
Imagine our surprise in discovering
that we no longer cared for the taste
/ of the ordinary coffee, so the next
morning we had a rare treat in a cup
of piping hot, delicious Postum
Coffee is no longer kept in our house.
| Our children are very fond of the new
/ kind of 'toffee' as they call it, and we
give them as much as they want to
/ drink, without fearing to injure their
health. I find that it enables me to fur
| nish baby with a more abundant sup
! ply of milk than I could otherwise do.
! Postum Cereal Food Coffee has indeed
! been a great boon to our family" Mrs.

VANDERBILT TO BUY.
Railroad Magnate Desires to Purchase
N. I'm. a. & q. Line.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE Tribune to-
morrow will say:
William K. Vanderbilt, on his return
from a two months cruise to Mediter-
steam yacht Valiant on Monday, may
complete another colossal achievement
in railroad financiering, the first steps
of which it was said last night were
entered upon a few days before Mr..
Vanderbilt sailed. A director of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad company is believed to have
taken to New Haven and Boston on
Saturday last an informal offer from
Mr.. Vanderbilt which indicates that the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
system may become later part of the
New York Central system. Mr. Van
derbilt told the director, it is said, that
any close observer should have no
trouble in noting the tendency of rail-
Trunk Line territory east of the Mis-
sissippi and north of the Ohio river.
They meant that the Central system
was in position to dominate the east
ern situation and that it might be ad-
vantageous for the New York, New
Haven & Hartford directors to consider
a liberal offer from those in control of
the Central. This director whose infiu-
ence with his associates in the board is
a potent one said that if the offer was
large enough it would be kindly con-
sidered and he asked what the Connec-
ticut and Boston people might expect.
It was suggested that a guarantee of
considered. That is as far as the con-
ference advanced. it is said, and the di-
rector went away to talk it over with
his friends in New England with the
conviction that such an arrangement
would be favorably regarded

DID HE BET ON DIXON
Remarks of Chairman odelI on /" Fake
Fighting" Would Indicate This.

New York, Jan. lib. B. Odell, chair
man of the Republican state committee,
declared positively today that the Hor-
ton boxing law must be repealed at
once.
Have you become convinced that
these socaIled boxing bouts are brutal?"
Brutal, no. They are fakes. That
is why I think the Horton law should
be repealed. The fights are fixed before
hand and the spectators are humbuged.
Take, for instance, the McGovern-
Dixon fight at the Broadway Athletic
club. never saw such a, farce. There
was not a stage of the game when the
negro could not have gone in and finish
ed his man. When left the club, I was
satisfied that the Horton law should be
repealed immediately
