 Munger Finds Dead Dog in a Box Notes.
 An interesting meeting of the legal voters of the Center school district was held in the seventh room of the school last evening. H. NJ. Hickcox was clerk and B. c. Marggraff acted as chairman. The first business was to take action on the motion made to in troduce mechanical apparatus in the school for the use of Principal F. J. Working. 1t was voted, to secure the same at a cost not to exceed $360. In regard to putting water into the school the motion was tabled until 1902. Some one had hinted on having a recitation room built in the cellar, as the room used for this purpose on previous oc- casions will be occupied as the eighth room, during the coming fall. The adjournment was made for ten minutes in order to inspect the cellar where they proposed to build the room. No action was taken and the meeting ad- journed for one week. During the dis cussion of the last named subject Dr Munger was present and stated that according to authority the descending and ascending of the stairs to this room would bring permanent injury to the pupils of the school. Several were present who made it their duty to ep- pose anything and everything brought up. The next meeting will be held on Iuly530. At the school house.

man mind is capable of such criminal conceptions.
 Like any adult criminal, the boy was arrested and in company With his mother was put in jail. Both are in- carcerated to this day and Austrian justice is greatly puzzled how to dis pose of this odd case. The consensus of public opinion has from the start been to give freedom to mother and child, but it seems that there has been a long-standing grudge between the Schmidt and Karpisek families and the Frau Karpisek is accused of having partly instigated the crime. She is at least charged with having often uttered dire threats against the Schmidt child.
 The murder, if it may be called SO, occurred in front of the Schmidt house. Little Ludwig had just re- ceived piece of cake from his father. Johann came to him and asked him for a piece of cake The boy refused and screamed when an attempt was made to take it away from him. Un- able to secure the cake by force, Jo- ham took a knife which he happened to have in his hand and stabbed his three-year-old playmate. The little boy died the same day There is much speculation as to the fate of the boy murderer and his mother.

lnsects Are Born nut to Die

The life of perfect insect is usually very brief. Of all the myriads of butterflies and moths, bees and wasps, flies and bettles, which make up one of the most marked features of the summer, the vast majority will die before the sea son is over. A mere handful will sur vive into next year, while few, in deed, are those that will live to see a second summer. The duration of the laryal stage is much longer. The dragon-fiy nymph, as it is called, lives Il. months in the water. The per feet insect that emerges from it has only a few weeks, at most, of sun shine and the upper air. There are flies which live only for single day, taking in that time no food, having, indeed, no mouths by which to take it.-Paris Messenger.

HEARTRT1RN

When the quantity of food taken is too large or the quality too rich, heart burn is likely to follow, and especially so if the digestion has been weakened by constipation. Eat slowly and not too freely of easily digested food. Mas ticate the food thoroughly. Let six hours elapse between meals and when you feel a fullness and weight in the region of the stomach after eating, in- dicating that you have eaten too much take one of Chamber1aiil's Stomach and Liver Tablets and the heartburn may
 be avoided. ForEsale bysa druggists.

 The distant masses of blue. misty trees The sleeping clouds. like spell-bound pal
 aces,
 Lie motionless, nor heed the parting call Of yon belated cuckoo. As in thrall, The river scarcely moves; the gentle breeze Is softer than. the murmuring of bees; And even the dew will hardly dare to fall This charmed peace has brought my soul
 so near,
 To Natures heart of deep tranquility, That all the world is far removed from me And when my thoughts, as always, turn to
 thee,
 It seems hundred years since thou and ] Were, here together. Did dream it, dear? James Slaney, in Chambers Journal

J. A. Kelly relates an experience sim- liar to that which has happened in al- most every neighborhood in the United States and has been told and re-told by thousands of others. He says: Last summer I had an attack of dysentery and purchased a bottle of Chamber Iain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which I used according to di- rections and with entirely satisfactory results.

BOY COMMITS MURDER.
A Case Which Is Attracting the Un- divided Attention of CriminoI-

Criminologists of Europe are stirred by five-year-old murderer in Vienna. Johann Karpisek is the name of the youngest slayer in the world and his victim was Ludwig Schmidt, the three-year-old son of barber. There was motive for the crime and neigh bors say that the deed was thorough ly premeditated. This last assertion seems certainly incredible, consider ing the age of the slayer, but such specialists in criminology as Dr. Thomas, of the Vienna university, as- sert that even at that age the hu-

for a day or an hour will the President

taken, for the American people like to
see their President and it is well for
him to mingle with them. This trip can
have no political significance. 1t is no

trust him, and who are eager to greet
him and give him the welcome of their
home states and cities. The journey
taken at this time of peace and good
feeling will emphasize the owners of
this great land. In no foreign land
could a ruler take such a journey with

none are needed for our President. The

The exposition will be open, Sunday
afternoon, except it's midway and

to go to church in the morning and
then spend the afternoon in viewing
