Hutchinson Has a Private
School For Truants.
Place Where Bad Boys Are

Pupils Will Be Held in Check
by Mr.. Smith.
'EPARATE STUDENTS.

Hutchinson. March 2s.-The school
room provided by the board of educa-
ton to accommodate pupils having been
expelled and those who have refused to
attend school is now ready Mr.. Delbert
Smith has been appointed as teacher
of the room and has before him an inn
portant work.
Those who know Mr. Smith well say
that the new room will have a most
excellent teacher and the pupils will
have before them a splendid example.
The boys who do not appreciate the
great benefit of securing an education
and the boys who are too full of mis-
chief to admit of taking advantage of
other schools are here to be given
start in the right direction 1t will be
a room especially adapted to character
moulding, and the task will be a diff
cult one. Mr.. Smith in the first place is
a. young man whom the strong unruly
boy cannot help but admire. He is an
accomplished athlete, quality that
boys good or bad are sure to admire.
He is able to convince the boys that
they need training, even if he has to
put on boxing gloves with them to con-
duct the argument.
The effect of the so-called truant room
may already be seen in the Hutchinson
schools. Boys Who have been working
for expulsion that they might be free
to go hunting and spend their time in
having fun have changed their tao
tics. If they are expelled now, it only
means a transfer to the truant room.
These boys who go to the truant room,
it is understood will have every oppor-
tunity to work back into the other
schools on their department, but while
they are there they will have the beneht
of just as good schooling and will not
lose the time, nor will they be getting
into trouble by being idle. The move
ment is simply an earnest effort on the
part of the board to benefit the schools
and the pupils and if parents of the
boys who may be sent to the special
room will understand the matter and
will give their aid and support. the new
room will work no end of good to the city
schools and the boys of Hutchinson.

FOR THE GRIP.
You Have Heard of Many Remedies
Did You Ever Try This One.

Everybody you meet on the streets
nowadays either has just had the grip,
j. coming down with it or has a sure
cure for it.
The disease has been a puzzle to ply
sicians ever since its appearance several
years ago and it is as much Of a puzzle
today as it was then. 1t exhibits such
a variety of symptoms in different in
dividuals and leaves such disastrous re-
suits after apparent recovery, that as
yet its prevention and cure has baff1ed
medical science
However there is no doubt but that
the grip is catarrhal in character and
the leading symptoms in nearly every
case is increased secretions in the head
and throat. in fact the first indications
of la grippe are those of cold in the
head which extends to the throat and
lungs.
DR.. johnson Ames advises as the safest
course to pursue on the first appearance
of grip symptoms to keep to the house
for day or two and take Stuarts Ca
tarrh Tablets every hour the first day
and states that this Will break up the
trouble before 1T becomes deep seated.
These catarrh tablets are antiseptic
and harmless and prevent fever and the
further development of grip germs. and
ward off the ever present danger of
pneumonia
DR. Gerald Simpson says: II have
found Stuart's Catarrh Tablets a pleas
ant and thoroughly reliable remedy for
the grip, especially with elderly people
with whom this prevailing disease is all
ways dangerous the tablets can be found
at any drug store and if used freely dur
ing the first few days of the attack will
break 1t up.
La grippe is a catarrhal affection the
germs are in the air and no one is proof
against ii. but the timely use of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets viii prevent any ser

Princeton Students Listen to Lecture
on Venezuelan Boundry Dispute


Princeton. N. j., March -Presi-
dent Cleveland delivered the first of his
two lectures on the Venezuelan Bound
airy Dispute" before the students and
friends Of Princeton university last night
I'm Alexander hall Prof woodrow VIII
son introduced the speaker
AS Mr.. Cleveland arose to begin his
lecture he was greeted with three long,
loud cheers from the student body. He
was strongly applauded several times
while delivering the lecture
Mr. Cleveland 1t the outset spoke of
the vagueness on the subject Of bound
airy lines in the establishment both Of
the Venezuelan republic and Of British
Guiana He said that from the first
there was evident need of "extraneous
assistance" before bounds so loosely
named could be exactly fixed
He then referred TO the initiation OF
the dispute in 1871 between the Vene-
zuelan minister to Great Britain and
Lord Aberdeen. chief secretary OF state
for foreign affairs
The making of the Schomburgk survey
and its bearing upon the dispute were
The lecturer. quoting constantly from
documents showed the repeated appeals
Of Venezuela to Great Britain in favor
Of settling the question by arbitration
Of the whole subject declaring that their
constitution prevented them from max
ing grants of territories except by a pro-
cess the result OF arbitration Meantime
England constantly refused arbitration
on the general subject declaring that it
feared the Venezuelan constitution
would still be used a pretext for dis
obedience to an award. Great Britain
also objected to the arbitration request
ed by Venezuela, fearing that an award
might be made in favor of the Nene-
zuelan claim in which case IAN import
ant territory which has for long period
been inhabited and occupied by her
majesty's subjects and treated as part
Of the colons e British Guiana would be
severed from the queens domains" On
this Mr. Cleveland said:
England alone had treated it as part
Of British Guiana; her immense power
had enabled her to do this, and her own
DEGREES seemed to promise greater ad-
vantages as against her weak adversary
than arbitration could possibly assure.
The British government at one time
offered a plan OF arbitration which did
not cover the entire disputed territory,
but never consented to arbitration such
IS proposed by Venezuela and which
would include the entire territory in dis
pute."
The lecture brought down with much
aetail the narrative to September, 1893
