Fatal Crossing Accident.

Warren, the nine year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. John l.. Palmer, 600 south
Chapman street, was instantly killed by
a Michigan Central freight Sunday
afternoon. The accident occurred on
the south Chapman street crossing of
the Michigan Central railroad. War.
rem WAS alone at the time, although
some other boys had been sliding down
hill with him few moments before.
1t is supposed the boy got on the
train and in trying to get off caught his
foot. The body was dragged seventy
five feet and terribly disfgnred, the
head and face being crushed to pulp
Marshal Ross had the remains re-
moved to Knapp & Smiths undeItak-
ing rooms, where they were prepared
for burial. Interment took place We'd

home.
Justice McCaughna impaneled the
following jury which met at his Office
Tuesday, a coroner's inquest having
been decided on: Aid. w. Z. Wash
durn, Julius Wendt, John Lehner,
Richard Welch. Herman Klingblel and
Fred Steadman, and their verdict was
death caused by deceased's own care
lessness.
Mr. Palmer is employed at The car
shops, and his wife worked at Corey's
laundry. Their grief was terrible when
neighbours boy rushed in and told
them of Warren's death. They have

They Did Not Start Right.

The Michigan Tradesman is trade
journal devoted to business interests.
For this reason the following article
on what is termed common school
education is valuable.
''In elementary education the three
RS standing for reading, writing and
'rithmetic, are counted the essentials.
The fourth and one of equal Importance
was probably not included because no
twist of photography would permit it to
begin with an II, or perhaps spelling
is included with reading. Certain it is
that the man or woman who cannot
spell correctly can not claim to have
much education. There is no good or
sufficient excuse for deficiency in this
respect, particularly in these days
when schools are free and spelling
books cheap. There is nothing in the
world Better calculated to give an I'M
favorable impression OF correspondent
than to receive letter containing half
a dozen mis- spelled words. Yet it is
lamentable fact that there are a great
many such letters carried by the mails
under two cent postage stamps.
A boy or girl should never be per-
mitted to have q diploma, even upon
completion of. the so.called common
school course, who can not spell ninety.
five out of every 100 words correctly,
in a written examination.
A state Of affairs has been discovered
and brought to public notice at the
Northwestern University, an institu.
ton which claims great credit and
glory for its curriculum and it's instruc.
ton. Advanced students taking write n
examinations in Greek, chemistry, and
other subjects spelled shadow" with
two IDS" yield" with an "a" Evil
liam" with one ii" and fleet" with an
"a" whereupon the instructors who
looked over the examination papers
thought it was time to call halt in
higher education and turn backward
time in its flight to make those young
MoH ooyS again lOr moTe IMAM one
night, in which they would have oppor
tunity to take few lessons in spelling.
1t IS published in the Chicago papers, and
hence must be SO, that the inability of
those college students to spell common
English words made their examination
papers almost unintelligible. Of course.
it is not permissible for college students
to employ stenographers to do their
spelling for them. That is something
which all must do for themselves and
can not be uniformly done by proxy.
Education is great thing, but the sup
erstructure loses its value if the founda.
tons are not solid.

Several sensational items have appeared
in the Detroit papers of late concerning the
disappearance of little 1O-yeaI-old Hazel
Phillips, whose mother died at the Owosso
sanitarium two weeks ago. 1t appears that
Mrs. Ira Brown, of Fenton, took charge of
the little girl on the advice of relatives and

motser of the child came to Fenton, and
took Hazel to her home. The little girl

All this talk about Kidnapping. etc., is the
sheerest nonsense, and originated in the i'm
sginative brain OF q festive reporter. Fen
ton Courier.
The editor of the M. A. Z. Record speaks
OF the election OF Mr.. A. b. Cook as presi-
dent of the State Association of Farmers
Clubs as follows: The College feels itself
especially hOnored In the honor bestowed
upon one of its sons. Mr.. A. b. Cook, '93a,
of Owosso, Mich, who, by large majority
was made president OF the State Association
of Farmers Clubs. Mr.. Cook is q son Of
Prof. A. j. Cock, now Of Pomona college,
California, and for many years professor OF
zoology In this institution. The college
owes much to the labors of the older Cook,
and rejoices heartily in the high esteem in
which the younger is held. He is young
man of remarkable business shrewdness,
energy, steadipess, and success, a notable
example of what many claim is indeed a
rara avis, college graduate, happy and
successful in the every day life on farm.

1t is interesting while American boys
and girls are playing their games and
enjoying their sports TO read Of the
enjoyment the children Of other eoun-
tries have. Chinese boys and girls, for
instance, have their games that they
play with just as much enthusiasm as
do their American cousins. One OF
these is "the hawk catching young
chickens" The children stand one be-
hind the other, having the largest boy
to protect them from the hawk. The
hawk, the child who, as we say in most
games, is ''it," comes to catch the chick
ems, but the line swings back and forth
and the protector keeps between the
brood and the hawk. Another game Is
"polnting at the moon or stars" The
children form themselves into n ring.

the center. The ring moves around, the
players singing. The ring stops, aud
