SCHOOL NOTES
LUELLA CUNNINGHAM. Editor.

Miss Mable Trowbridge is visiting
the high school this week.
Misses Lulu Maynard and Mabel
Baker made visit at the high school
this week.
|. Supt. Ramer called last Friday fore
noon and gave us an interesting ten
minute speech.
The normal class have finished
grammar and are to start arithmetic
tomorrow.
Messrs. Schafer and Cannon, MEM
bers of the school board, called Tues
day afternoon on the different depart
ments.
First tuft of grass and then clod
and last stone, the farmer used to
drive boy from his apple tree. The
boy laughed at the first and ignored
the second, but the third brought him
to terms. Soft words have been used
to get our boys and girls quit their
bad habits of writing. Scribbled arti-
cles will not longer be accepted at full
value, but will be discounted. If that
will not bring a reform, articles, in.
cluding. examination papers, will not
be accepted at all till creditably writ
ten. The last way may be considered
the efficient stones, for they will GER
tainly bring us down to good bottom
work with pen. There is some ex-
cuse however, we think, for scribbling,
when we have so much to write in SO
short time. But penmanship is i'm
portant, and let us take more pains.
Supt. Burkhead believes in being
practical! "Students should not for
get home duties" "To learn to shut
the door after you, will render you
many times more useful to all with
whom you are related than to be as
deft with the fingers on piano, or to
be an expert in the calculations of
logarithms. An education which un-
fits one for labor is not true education.
The head should not subtract from
the heart and the hand, but add to
the head. The heart and the head
should unite in the progress of the
world. The home and the school
should teach wholesome love for la
Dor. In fact every boy and girl
should early be taught how to do use
ful things at home. The boy or girl
who works some at manual labor of
some kind every day makes q better
student in school. All work and no
play makes, perhaps, Jack dull boy,
but all play and no work makes Jack
q fool.

Magnificent Spectacle.

People travelling to the Pan-Ameri-
can Exposition from the direction of
Niagara Falls will get their first view
Of the Electric Tower from distance
OF II or more miles. From the river
or the steam or electric cars, the
Electric Tower is seen looming up in
the southern sky high above all other
objects on the horizon. AS the tower
nears completion, the eyes of pas
sengers on the trains and trolleys
feast upon its magnificent height of
39l feet and obtain an impressive in
timation OF the mammoth proportions
and beauty on which the Exposition
is being built. The magnitude of the
Electric Tower and it's graceful lines
cannot fail to impress all with the con-
viction that when it is illumined by
the thousands of lights given life
by the transmitted energy of the won
derful dynamos of Niagara, it will be
truly gorgeous spectacle, surpass-
ing in is royal beauty anything OF
the kind ever erected by man. It will
delight every eye that sees it. 1t will
stir the hearts and minds of all with
admiration for the men that conceived
it and carried the plans to such
glorious perfection. In every depart
ment the Pan-American will por-
tray the progress of the Americans up
to the present time, and when people
view the electrical splendor of the Ex-
position they will feel satisfied no
matter what the century has in store in
the way of additional progress, to have
lived in an age when such results were
possible Of accomplishment. In these
results the old and the young will
find education and entertainment, and
their admiration OF it all, which they
will express on their homegoing, will
be simply reflective of the wond rous
electric effects.

Church cnoirs are proverb-
tally at outs, but as a general
thing in these internecine quar-
rels there is more or less of pair
ing off. It seldom happens that
the whole flock of music makers
turn on one unfortunate or dis
abled and attempt to peck him to
death. But this really did hap
pen last Tuesday evening when
the members of the M. E. choir
came down upon the home Of M.
NJ. Ramer, and seizing the gentle.
man before he could give an
alarm, bound and gagged him,
and afterwards brought him in
before his startled wife and
children and maltreated him in 9
most deplorable manner. The
victim Of the atrocity could no,
for some time discover what had
enraged his companions in dis
cord, as he believed they had
been equally guilty with himself
in musical misdemeanors, but hs
soon discovered that it was mo-
his voice, but the color Of his
hair that had inspired the at
tack, for they immediately set TX
work to rob him Of his brillian
cardinal top-knot, and left hi,
crown as bare as q billiard ball
After thus metaphoricall,
scratching him baldheaded,
and tsunting him with his short
comiEgs, they presented hin
with : nicely bound volume o
Longfellow and q bottle Of hair
restorer and left him to be doc
tored up by his family.

before the physician reached it, the
family not knowing the seriousness Of
the disease. Another child in the
community had died a short time
before and was buried without a doc
tor being called. 1t was given
public funeral and it now develops
that this was also a case of scarlet
fever. just how far the disease has
been scattered it is impossible to tell.

Immigration Rush.

The Minneapolis papers tell of
a big movement in immigrants
from the eastern states. Large
excursions are being run to ac-
commodate this traffic, particu-
larly on the Great Northern.
South Dakota should get some of
this immigration:
What might we'll be called the rear
guard of the greatest land-hunting
caravan eyer known to move of at
one time, passed through Minneapolis
today in the form Of nearly 1900
settlers from Chicago and points in
the Middle and Eastern states.
An official estimate placed two
thirds OF this number Of prospective
settlers as coming from crowded Sec
tions OF the East. It appears that the
settlers are ambitious to get as far
away as possible from their Eastern
homes, as q large portion of those
coming from the far East ticketed for
points in Montana and Oregon.
About 500 of the local home seekers
who could not be accommod ated Tues
day on account of shortage of cars
and other reasons, boarded the first
sections of the coast trains running
out today.
The rush was not rs unprecedented
as during the season that the reduction
rates were in effect last fall, as the
railroad companies had put on the
tracks every available passenger
coach on the road. In spite Of this.
however, it is believed by Great North
ern officials that next week it will be
impossible to handle all the passen-
gers on account Of shortage Of
coaches.
James j. Hill has estimated that be-
fore the termination Of the spring re-
duction rate season the Great North
ern and other roads in the combine
| will hurry at least $1,000 people from
Eastern and Central points to tho
| "wild'' West.
