Sunday Disturbance.

Every one was sorry for those people In
church last Sunday who were suffering
with a Distressing cough. A full dose of
Downs Elixir on going to bed at night
and small doses during the day will cure
the most severe cough. Wheneyer there
is a tickling sensation in the throat take
a few drops of the Elixir on the tongue
and let IL run slowly down the throat
and immediate relief will follow. We.
the undersigned. druggists, agree to re-
fund the money if it does not cure any
cough, cold, whooping cough or throat
trouble.

John hunday Tells Of q Kansas Rab-

81 saw my first jack rabbit chase,
Sunday, on the prairie near Abilene,
Kas., and 1t was daisy, too,' said
j. b. Munday, to the X. G. World
yesterday. Mr. Munday was former
ly in the revenue service and Is now
a merchant in Western Kansas.
"rhere were about 200 people on
horseback, in buggies and wagons
lined up for the chase. A pack OF
greyhounds was ready and they
jumped up a big jack near the start.
1t had about 30 yards the start IN the
prettiest straightaway race | ever
saw. The jack was a hummer and
held his own for time but the
hounds laid down to the work in q
beautiful way and after a chase Of
two miles got the rabbit. The men
followed in the widest chase YOU

CHANGING CUBA WAYS.
An Abilene Mans Work In Effecting
Shipping Reforms.

In the last letter written home be.
fore his death in Havana Of pneumonia
George Sheldon, formerly Of Abilene,
tells of some striking features of life
in Cuba and reform he accompl sh-
ed, as follows:
81 came as inspector for the Bene-
miles Steamship company, to look
over the situation Of lighterage here,
and if changes were necessary to
make them. Well stood and saw
my own goods unloaded, and others,
with a smash-up Of at least 10 per
cent after they arrived in this harbor,
and soon saw that a change was
necessary, and | went to the agent
here who is Spaniard, Of course,
and he is a gentleman. He told me
1t was the custom since he knew any
thing about business, to unload as
they did, but II had a better way we
would adopt it.
"Well, ! will have to tell you how
they unloaded eggs and poultry; first,
they tied rope around the case Of
eggs and lowered it into boat,
which was so small that her mast top
only came to to our decks. The
poultry was tied up with a sling, two
coops together and lowered by the
hosting engines, or winch as 1t is
called on board ship. By the time
the coops struck the bottom they
were all broken up and chickens
were in the water, and all over the
small boat along side Of us. Well /
could hardly stand still and see this
wanton waste finished up, but was
here for a purpose, and held my
tongue. Say, it was the hardest
thing ever did in my life. Well,
the next day went to Mr.. Doran,
our agent here for the steamship
company, and had it out with him.
had my plans all drawn up on pa
per, the length Of run boards and
chutes wanted, and after talking
the matter over with him, laid
them down and showed him where
hall the men could unload the same
amount Of goods in one half the time,
and | made IL stick so hard that he
telephoned for carpenter, or Sc
yande, as he called him, and gave
him my plans, and instructed him to
make them at once, and he will in
the future run regular barge along
side Of our ship, instead Of the small
boats, as before. In this way our
coops will not be all broken up or
poultry killed.
"0n my cargo | brought here, it
was the first OF the season from Gal.

State Superintendent Nelson Gives
q Number Of Opinions.

State Superintendent Nelson lately
has given opinions as follows;
Only the maps, charts, globes, ETC.,
approved by the State Text Book
commission may be purchased by the
school district boards OF the State.
The teacher may suspend a pupil
for one day, but must Immediately
report such suspension to the board
and await its action and abide
thereby.
Teachers may collect pay for legal
holidays, even though school is not
in session on such days. New Years
day and Christmas are legal holidays.
II the district treasurer should
have school funds deposited in a bank
and the bank should fail, the district
would hold the treasurer accountable
for the funds.
A district board would be iustiia-
BILE in paying teachers wages for
the Friday after Thanksgiving il the
teacher was in attendance at the dis.
trict association.
The board has no authority to or
der a teacher to lock the school house
at noon and exclude the children
therefrom, who have no other place
to 90 to take their dinner.
| am Of the opinion that the legis-
lature did not intend, under the term
"expenses" as used in section SO,
page 81, Of the School Laws, to allow
any school district in sending chill
dren to other districts to pay the
board Of such children. The inten.
ton was simply to pay the neces-
sary cost in sending such children
to another district.
A publication Of notice Of sale Of
school lands is public printing and
should be given to the official county
paper.

vent the owner of the thirty-one thirty
