Teachers Association.

The Bossier Parish Teachers
Association met pursuant to ap-
pointment in Bossier City, on
Saturday, January 10, 1901. The
Association was called to order at
II a. m. by the President, Mr.. j.
E. Johnston.
The minutes of the first meeting
were read and approved.
Some thirty or forty persons,
including Miss Birdie SCOTS
pupils, were also present, and
seemed to take a deep interest in
the meeting. One of the trustees
of the Bossier City school, Mr..
w. T. Colquitt, was present.
Miss Birdie Scott, who is the
teacher at that place, on being
introduced, read the following
beautiful address of welcome,
which produced a most felicitous
effect upon all present:
''Our worthy Superintendent,
Ladies and Gentlemen, co-work-
ers in the. noble cause of educa-
ton: 1t is with pleasure and
qualification that l try to avail
myself of the privilege conferred
on me of welcoming this noble
band of educators to the classic
Hall of Bossier City Academy
You may smile at the big sound
ing name, but friends the day is
surely coming when we who stand
here to-day will be proud to &C.
knowledge that we were the pio-
neers of education in the future
grand old city of Bossier.
"a little more than a year ago,
thanks to the diligence of the
estimable member of the School
Board from this ward, and inspir-
ed and encouraged by our worthy
Superintendent, whose sympa-
thies and efforts are always on the
side of education, and whose
valued help l, with many others,
acknowledge and appreciate more
than feeble words can ever ex-
press, we organized this school, a
band of little children-five in
number. To-day we have a men,
bership of twenty-seven, and daily
increasing. We began in a small
room given to us by one of our
most progressive citizens. We
moved from room to room as our
members increased, until seeing
that our success was assured, the
same generous gentlemen donated
these grounds, and our citizens of
Bossier City erected this comfort
able building, which we have
dedicated to the noble, sacred,
grand old cause of education,
and with Excelsior for our motto,
we hope to inscribe her name high
on the pinacle of Fame.
"Again I give you greeting in
the name of Bossier City and of
Bossier Academy give you sin
cere, cordial, heartfelt welcome"
This was responded to by the
President in q few we'll chosen
remarks.
The next was a paper by Miss
Mary Gilmer, on the subject of
Primary Terching, which display
ed great care and skill in its
preparation. Her paper was we'll
received, and was earnestly and
uniquely discussed by Mr.. Alfred
and Mr.. Simmons.
The Importance of grading the
course of study required by law
to be taught in the public schools
was next under consideration
To this there was no objection
The idea received unanimous ap-
prevail.
The meeting was iminently
beneficial to all who took part.

This great story of sensational conspi-
racy which makes Burr's life unique in
American history is explicitly set forth in
this remarkable serial. The historical
characters involved in the story are
drawn true to life, and include, beside
Burr, Mrs. Samuel Chick, of Albany, Paul
Livingston. Samuel Swartout, hatchery.
a scheming attorney and banker of AL
bany; Harry Granger, a romantic youth,
who had fallen under the influence of Burr
in the East, and who by misfortunes, in
Guiding the death of his father, had been
impelled to migrate TO the then infant
State of Ohio, and Jem Bounder, poor
New Jersey coast fisherman, who had been
acquainted with Granger in the East. Be
sides, there are some minor characters,
more or less typical of the times. Burr's
term as Vice-PreSdent having expired in
March, 1905, and as he was under indlct-
ment for murder of Hamilton i'll both New
York and New Jersey, he went West and
organized the conspiracy to found great
Southwestern Empire. Associated with
him in this plot were Blennerhassett, Gen.
Wilkinson, and others of more or less
prominence. Harry Granger was sent by
Burr to Albany with secret message to
hatchery. and while there renewed his
acquaintance with Miss Livingston, whose
father had been ruined through the trick
cry of the scheming old banker. \ cipher
letter was given TO him by hatchery, but
returning West he found that Burr was
still in Washington. so went to his own
home in Ohio. While there he lost the Ell
pher letter. Burr returned to the West in
the Spring OF 1906 to complete arrange
ments to move South. Harry Granger and
others Of the party went TO Marietta.

On the theory that seeing Is believing
John A. Smith, Of Milwaukee, wants every
one to try his remedy for the cure of rheu-
matism at his expense. For that reason he
proposes to distribute $4,000 free sample
packages among all persons sending him
their address. Mr. Smith had suffered all
the agony and torture from rheuma tism trie,,
all the remedies known and yet utterly failed
TO find relief.
At times he was so helpless that LIE had
to take to morphine and after considerable
dOctoring he gave up in dispair. He began
studying into the causes of rheumatism and
after much experimenting. he finally hit upon
combination of drugs which completely
cured him. The result was so beneficial to
his entire system that he called his new
found remedy Gloria Tonic" Those of his
friends and relatives and neighbors suffer
Ing from rheumatism were next cured and
Mr.. Smith concluded to offer his remedy to
the world. But he found the task n difficult
one, as nearly everybody had tried a hum
dred or more remedies and they could't be
made to believe that there was such thing
as cure for rheumatism. But an old gen
tieman from Segun, Texas. wrote him say
ing II Mr.. Smith would send him a sample
he would try 1t, but as he had suffered
forty-one years and wasted a fortune with
doctors and advertised remedies, he wouldn't

ishing. He was completely cured. This gave

cated for purposes inimical to the Gov

evening is one of his emissaries. The
| story of his serving as volunteer is only
| a mask. He has brought me letter from
| Col. Burr, which, being in cipher, | have
not been able to clearly make out; but
| have discovered that his object is trea-
sOnabie, and that it is my duty to oppose
him by every means in my power. He

second in command, and To give the Off
GERS of the Army anything / may ask for

fdential friend to confer with him at

General added, with some surprise, ''he
seems to calculate on me and the Army
as ready to join him"

10 days in the camp, during which time
he conversed freely with Gen. Wilkinson.

Late at night Gen. Wilkinson sat pour
ing over the letters before he had deci-
phered them sufficiently to have a correct
idea of their drift. As soon as he cleaned
an intelligent idea of their meaning he
said:
Sol. Burr is going too far. What !
had suspected and feared all along is turn
ing out to be reality. Beyond question
he has reasonable designs"
The Generals resolution was taken
without delay.
Nothing could be done that night; be-
sides, the General wanted time for dellb-
Grafton on the course he would pursue.
Next morning, as Col. Gushing was
walking on the gallery in front of his
quarters, Gen. Wilkinson came to him
and said:
Colonel, please follow me; have some
thing to say to you.
Without dreaming of the seriousness of
the disclosure, the Colonel allowed him
self to be led aside by the General. When
they were far enough away, so they could
not be overheard the General began:
Colonel, l have something of very
serious nature to communicate to you. so
much so that, although it is necessary to
hold it in strict reserve for the present, L
beg you to bear it in mind that ! may be
able to make fair statement of 1t at any
future period Do you know, or have you
heard, of any enterprise being on foot IN

To which the General answered:
