IN MEMORIAM.

John L. Gore was born IN Adams
county, ILL.,, September 20, 1870, and
departed this life at his home near
Villas, Kan. March 8, 1901, aged 30
years, months and IS days.
For several years John had been
suffering from that dread disease
consumption, yet he was always pleas.
ant and cheerful, and during his last
illness bore all his suffering patiently
Kind friends and neighbors did all for
him that loving hands could do and
the end came as peacefully as the fall
ing Of autumn leaves. About mid
night he fell asleep and at O'Clock
the spirit left the tired, emaciated
body, and his earthly sufferings were
DER.
He leaves a devoted wife, a mother,
two brothers and host of friends to
mourn for him; father, three sisters
and one brother having preceded him
to that better land.
The remains were taken to the old
home in Clayton, ILL.,, there to rest by
the loved ones gone before.
We will miss the genial smile, the
CHEEKY voice, the pleasant word, and
how sincerely can we say
I'VE shall meet but we shall miss him.
There will be one vacant chair.
We shall linger to caress him
A. we breathe our evening prayer.

but the next morning the boy was
quite bright and seemed to be suffer
ing no great Inconvenience.
The wheel Of big wagon well load
ed with dirt passed directly over his
chest. DR.. Follett was called soon af.
ter the accident and upon eXamina-
ton he reported severe bruises about
the head and chest but no bones brok-

a few days Travis will be swinging on
the top limbs of the tall sycamore
trees in front of the house or diving

This is woman's nature; it is the God
given instinct that makes her fond

helpful wife; an ever-loving, solicitous,
care-taking mother.
When woman feels that the response
bilities and duties of wifehood and moth
erhood have become irksome to her-a
burden and trouble rather than source
of uplifting and inspiration-it shows that
there is some deficiency in her physical

COUNCIL MEETING.

The city council met in adjourned
session Monday night. They discuss
ed the question Of street paving.
Engineer Pratt made report on esti
mated cost of paving in two or three
different methods.
A new sewer on the south side was
discussed. The people on the south
side who have heard of these expen-
sive luXurles on the north side and
don't feel like indulging at present,
had better begin towaylay the council.
The gas pipe that was scattered ouv
t"''CCugh the big orchard in the hope
that it might condense the surface
gas going to waste around Arthur Al
len and Ben Shinn's places, was order
ed gathered up.
The council adjourned to meet
March %.
Oh, for the joys of being a council
man,
Wonder if Cap Walker can be Undue
ed to run again! He surely has not
had enough yet. He and Mr.. Abbott
have looked well after the interests of
the Fourth ward. The duties got Cap
down but he is getting much better
now.
Have you folks who have been
complaining about the school service
this winter figured out who you want
on the board the coming year?
Some reforms are needed, you all
seem to agree. Have you discovered
where the trouble is? You complain,
and justly, that your graduates are
poorly qualified and blame the high
school forlt. There is where you err.
The high school has been for years one
of the best conducted departments in
the whole system. Yet it is fact
that your graduates are turned out
half done,
The trouble lies in the lower depart
ments. You force your children into
the high school about two years too
soon. Your course of study needs
thorough overhauling by some one
capable of remedying it. Your teach
ers are judged by the number of pro-
motions they make at the end of the
year, instead of by their thoroughness.
You train them to be trimmers and
not educators.
You should have examinations for
promotion at the middle of the year
as well as at the end. 1t is too much
to hold a pupil back whole year that
may be only slightly deficient in one
branch. The teachers know this and
will slide pupil over into the next
grade not quite prepared, rather than
do him this injustice. More school,
room is absolutely necessary In the
Fourth ward,
You connot do justice to the pupils
there without it.
Prepare yonr pupils for the high
school before you crowd them into it
and they will not then have the
trouble they now have in completing
the work there. Pay your teachers
better wages, at least in the lower de-
partments, and secure better service.
And, above all things, support and
encourage your teachers and the board
IN their faithful efforts for the we'll
fare of the scholars.

contest ever held at X. S. A. c., Theo-
dore Woodwork was unanimously
awarded the prize, beautiful gold
medal, for the best Grafton.
Mr.. Wordsworth, who was represent
ative-of the Alpha Beta literary so
ciety, lives near Walnut. Although
Mr.. Woodwork is a new student at
X. s. A. c., his marked ability has al
ready placed him at the head of his
society as an orator and last night
demonstrated the fact that be probab-
ly has no superior in college. The
four literary societies were ably rep
resented by their respective orators.
All Of the productions were OF a good
grade Of work and the contest was a
complete success. This is a new de-
parture Of literary work for the societ-
les here and It is with the intention of
securing representative of the Agri-
cultural College ia the state inter-col-
