upon the Introduction of specially cheap

The Opening of the Schools.

Tuesday marked the opening of our
schools and with it came the end OF
vacation for our teachers and schol-
ars. 4 few months spent roaming
about the country, breathing the fresh
air of the Ozarks, or enjoying the sol
itude of farm life, padding barefoot
ed it the streams and brooklets among
the little fishlets, has come to an end
and duty calls the mind which is now
fresh that it might bend its energies
to the books of knowledge.
The Normal opened with a large
enrolment and prospects brighter
than they have been for some time
past. In the morning the time was
devoted to the organization of class
es, the classification of the students
and the lessons announced for
Wednesday which was practically the
first day for actual work.
The Public School this year shows
a rapid gain. The little folks actu-
ally swarmed there at the opening
anxious to begin their school work.
The teachers handled the little ones
with an experienced hand and after a
few hours had them all properly
placed in their respective rooms and
classes.
The colored school shows a gain
almost equal to the Lorimier and ere
the school days are far advanced they
are SURF of still greater increase.
The St. Vincent's Young Ladies'
Academy, which has no equal as an
educational institution in this part
of the country, shows a decided gain
over last year.
The same might be said Of the Ger
man Luthern School and the German
Catholic School, both Of which are
institutions that we are pleased to see
growing in favor as they undoubtedly

Speaking of the special train carry
ing President Louis Houck and others,
last week, the Kennett Mail says:
"After the return of the special from
Charlottesville, a reporter for the Mail
interviewed Mr.. Houck relative to his
recent trip over the system and he as
serted that there was no particular
significance attached to it further than
to show Mr.. Donaldson over the road
and to give him an idea of the wonder
full progress being made in this SEXTON.
Mr.. Donaldson expressed himself as
very much surprised and highly pleas
ed with the general improvement ON
every hand and predicts a bright
future for this part of the state.
Mr.. Houck authorizes US to state
that the long looked-fer change in the
time on the Kennett and Southern,
mentioned some time in the Mail, will
be made the LIST of September, viz:
The regular passenger train that
arrives here at II a. m. and goes to
Senath, will be run to Caruthersville
instead, making two trips daily. An
other passenger train will be put on
the south end making two trips daily
connecting with the north-bound pas
senger at this place and with tho P.
and S. E. at the crossing at Byrds.
The many advantages to be derived
from this change has already been
explained in the Mail and requires NO
repetition.
Mr.. Houck also informs US that
work on the MerehOuse and PaseOla
road was progressing rapidly; that
over l5O men are 0 at work and
that the force would be increased to
400 before the end of the month. The
road running north from Pascola will
cross the Cotton Belt at Lolita, the c.,
E. and l. at Commerce, and the Iron
Mountain at Morehouse. The con-
nection of this road with the s. NJ. &
A. will give us a direct route to Cape
Girardeau, and connect there with the
1. c., which will not only place US in
closer communication with St. Louis
and Chicago, but will also give US
better rates into other markets. 1t Is
thought that the right-of-way of this
road will he cleared by the end of the
month.
Mr.. Houck also informs US that q
telephone line vii be put up immedi-
ately from Cape Girardeau to make
connection with the line at this place,
putting Us again in closer connection
with the world.

The news from South Africa is read
little these days. In fact, it might be
said that few are aware that the war
in that region is still under way.
However it is still going on and that
fact is an embarrassing and humilating
thing for England. 1t makes her
course in China uncertain and prevents
her from sending a large army to
Pekin which she would have done had
it moi been for the present trouble
with the Beers in South Africa. When
the real end of the Boer trouble comes
there ought to be more rejoicing in
England than any which was called
out by the close of any conflict in
which that country was engaged since
the Napoleonic wars.

The Chicago Tribune says OF
Bryan's .'mushy" Philippine policy,
that '.it is a proposition to quit, to

ssAmericans have never taken kindly
to that kind of policy. From the days

storming Of the walls of Pekin, the
Americans have been stayers. Mr..
Bryan's proposition to sound an
American retreat in the presence OF
armed Malays strikes an unwanted
and unpopular note" That's about
