SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS.
Matrimony Working Injury to Fond
du Lac Schools.

Fond du Lac, Wis, Aug. 22.-Fond
du Lac county is likely to suffer from
a shortage of school teachers. At the
close of the spring term more than 100
teachers rendered their designations in
the county, and thus far there have
been only twenty-seven applications
for the vacancies thus created. The
shortage is especially evident in the
attendance at the county institute now
in session. The enrolment of this
year is less than 100, while last year it
was in the neighborhood of 200. It is
surmised that the teachers who ten
dered their designations last June are
going to take out new certificates is
sued by the county clerk in the form
of marriage licenses, rather than the
old form issued by the county super
in'tendent.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug 23.-The
platform adopted by the democrats IN
state convention follows: 1--WE affirm
the principles set forth in the platform
adopted by the democratic party in
convention assembled at Kansas City,
and hereby pledge ourselves to give
our utmost support by voice and vote
to the furtherance of the candidates.
Of our matchless leaders, VIM. J. Bryan
and Adlai e. Stevenson. The consti-
tuition of our country provides for a
government based upon the broad and
human principle of government by
consent of the governed; that under
this constitution and under these
principles we have founded and
maintained the most enlightened, most
humane and best government the
world has ever seen. We denounce,
therefore, the abandonment of this
principle by the Mckinley administra-
ton, and the substitution in it's stead
of monarchical system of govern
ment by force.
Y
to the Mckinley policy of establishing
colonial dependencies as adjuncts to
our republic We denounce that pol
icy as revolutionary, destructive of the
fundamental principles of free
government, and an abandonment of
that splendid system upon which was
founded our free institutions. We will
fight to the last ditch every attempt
to establish military system which
necessarily leads to compulsory mill
tary service as an obligation of citi-
zenship, and will strenuously oppose
the maintenance of large standing
army, unnecessarily, with all of it's at
tendant burdens OF oppressive taxa
ton. We denounce the attitude which
the Mckinley administration has as
sumed toward the gigantic aggrega-
tons Of capital commonly known as
trusts
The other resolutions favor legisla-
ton equalizing the tax laws, upon a
basis Of constitutional uniformity, and
revision of the laws relating to trans
portation rates and license fees Of
quasi-public corporations. Opposition
is expressed to the joint resolution
amending the constitution vesting con-
troll Of the public schools in the hands
of the state superintendent, also to the
joint resolution for the general
banking law. The present caucus law
is condemned, and revision favored
resulting in the direct method of NOM
nations.

EAIRLAND NOTES.
Late News From this Busy Little
City.

The republican club which numbers
about l65 members, met at the court
house Saturday afternoon to recomend
TO Mr.. DarrOugh a census enumeratOr
for Delaware district. After a close
and exciting contest, L. d. Long was
nominated for the position.
Saturday last the streets were
thronged as they have not been since
the close of the wheat and hay season
and the managers of the democratic
party took advantage Of the crowd to
organize democrtic club. The
meeting was held in the vacant Rack
ct store, and in less than two hours
- names bad been secured. Another
meeting will be held next Satur-
day for the election Of officers and
the completion of the Fairand DEM
ocratic club. a good beginning.
Robert McGregor, of Boonville, No.
arrived in Falkland Saturday, accom-
panied by John Fuser and Christian
Rinsler, OF the same place, TO take
possession Of the south part Of the
Frank Andrain farm OF 32O acres.
Mr.. McGregor has three car loads Of
horses and blooded stock, farm imple-
ments, household goods aud everything
necessary To conduct large farm. The
Andrain farm is one of.the best in the
northern part Of the Cherokee nation
and consists Of pasture and arabic
land, race track and everything re-
quisite for grain or stock farm, and
Mr. McGregor SCENE well equipped to
conduct either.
DR.. Lannier, Of Grove, arrived here
this morning and reports conditions
in that hamlet, rs being very de-
pressed, owing TO the declaration OF
BayleSs, that the railroad deal is 'Off''
because the inhabitants refused TO
put up another $1,000, and vacate the
right of way Immediately. This the
doctor says i mere DreteXt. The
road from Grove TO Ninita DY way Of
Currey's gap, would indeed be rocky
one. The line 10y way Of Harlan's fer
ry from Southwest City to Falkland,
would escape Grove entirely. BayleSs
evidently knows where he is sat, " but
the people Of Grove are in the dark,
and so are all others as to the much
talked of "eXtensiOn:" When bus-
ineSs calls for a railway, rocks will be
cast aside; il will climb mountains, as
at Jameston, n. Y, and will come in
time. The GrOyelings need not be so
depressed, they will have use for their
brick machines-SOmetIme.

through the gEea. Staked Plains
they came; on, on, until Texas
was left behind in their journey
northward. Before leaving New
Mexico the party had heard of the
beauty, grandeur and picturesque
ness OF the far-famed Cherokee
country-a country rich in material
resources, and famous for its good
water, pretty maidens and hand
some and brave men. Their jour-
ney through the Indians land was
full of romance to them, and will
serve as a happy medium between
the far southwest and the cold, icy
north. AS the party are out on an
observation tour they are in no
particular hurry to get through and
do not expect to reach Philadel-
phia for two or three months yet.
After leaving the territory their
route will lead through Kansas,
Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
and on into the land of the
Wooden Nutmeg. Arrow.

capacity, standing room being at a
premium, while the best of order
prevailed, and every body went
away well pleased with the enter
tainment. One man in expressing
his opinion said he would not have

owes it's existence to the noble
hearted men OF Vinita, Bluejacket

A LONG JOURNEY.
"Prairie Schooner" Passes from New
nexico to Philadelphia.

Monday there passed through
Tahlequah a movers outfit, which
from outward evidences of the easy
circumstances of those occupying
the wagon would have attracted
attention, regardless OF the letter
ing on the cover, which read: "Las
Vegas, New Mexico, TO Philadel.
phia, Pa" The occupants of the
wagon were respectable looking
and we'll fed; the horses were SLEEK
and fat and the entire outfit showed
that they were "living easy"
though bent upon long journey
covering a distance of nearly four
thousand miles, encOuntering all
kinds of country and climate.
through the valleys and over the
mountains of New Mexico they
had travelled, across the desert and
