Christian Education.
Extract From Dr. j. j. Riees Paper Watch
Night In Fulton. 40.

Sometimes you hear it said that there is too
much college education.
Well. let us see: We have nearly % mill
ion people: how many of them are in college?
Teachers. l2.l75: students. l55. .09l-ac-
cordng to statistics of 1897.
DO you know what has made the United
States the marvel of the world? Education.
Russia spends twelve times rs much for war
rs she spends for education. The United
States spends twelve times as much for educa-
ton as she does for war.
The results are two fold first. such an e.
normous development of material wealth
that the United States is acknowledged to
be the richest nation on the face of the earth,
and to-day a tramp may enjoy comforts that
Geo. Washington, the millionaire of cent
ury ago, could not buy; second, n civil and
religious liberty without parallel in the his
tory of fifty centuries.
You will be surprised, perhaps, when |
tell you that the new things-the new advan-
ces in education have, ninety times out of n
hundred, originated in Christian schools and
have been copied by State schools after their
success has been demonstrated.-20th Cent

''Your committee on clerical
force recommend the election of
two reading clerks, and that all ap-
plicants for appointment in the
House submit to the committee on
clerical force application in writing
indorsed by the member from their
county"
After number Of inquiries for
information and mutterings Ct dis
content, the report was referred
back to the committee. As a re-
suit OF the Democratic House eau
Gus tonight, held behind closed
doors, the clerical force will be In
creased about forty members, AS a
starter, a sort Of "feeler," as II
were. OF course, 1t was asking the
needy and worthy Democratic
members too much to come down

give way under their heavy load of ice. Ma
pie trees suffered more than any other in
town. The streets and sidewalks on Thurs
day morning were thoroughly obstructed by
broken limbs that gave way under their big
load of ice
BY 5p. m. Wednesday, 30 telegraph poles
between here and Welsville were reported to
be down. BY half after six, 2il poles were
reported down, or all between this plac and

wind swept across the country between here
and Wellsville about six o'clock p. IN. and
the poles went down as SO many straws.
Between here and st. Louis, not so much
damage was done although the wires were
down and telegraph and telephone messages
had to wait for repairs on the lines. The
electric lights were off Wednesday night and
our city was in the dark.
