observed from q fast-running express
train. AL at once Strawberry came to a
sudden stop and l fell off, inert, like
sack of -four.
The Sergeant Of the herd, with two of
his men, came running towards me and
turned me over and over; they thought
that l had been shot or stabbed with a
lance by Apaches on my way from camp
or perhaps that l had been trying to run
away with the best horse in camp, as they
knew that nobody was allowed to ride the
horse on which l had come. Finally, moi
finding any blood either on my person OF
on Strawberry, who had quietly begun
munching the tender grass, they thought
had had fit of some kind. and threw
hatfull of water over my face. Ihey
told me afterwards that l looked very
weak and pale. Well, knowing how
felt, readily believed that; not ouly that
but much more, to which, however, they
only gave expression in whispers, as the
real cause of my sad plight began to b.
realized in their minds
As soon as l had recovered somewhat
began to attend to my duties; l visited
all the sentries Oh the surrounding eleva
tons, on foot, be it understood, and exam
ined their arms, finding the positions
which they occupied satisfactory for the
purpose intended.

Our business men learned with

having made a most excellent Co.

always accommodating, ready to

But we can assure the taxpayers
that bis successor, farmer Mueller,
will prove a Commissioner they
will be proud of and never regret
his selection, a second Joe Grlese

employee in their Ellis shops he
was always looking out for the in
terests of his employers; as trus
tee of his township every property
owner was satisfied, no appeals to
the Equalization board, always
justice to all alike; as Overseer of

after the unfortunate; only a plain
farmer and stockman, a man of

the Democratic nominee for
Probate Judge for Ellis county
was born Oct. -, 1843. Both IN
business and political circles he IS
one of the popular men in Ellis
county. He has for years taken a
prominent part in Democratic and
fusion politics, being a mixer and
friend maker. Coming to Hays
in 1877, he has been engaged in
the harness business. and his sue
cess is attributed to his own intel
hgence and energy, h has serv-
ed the people of Ellis ounty IN
the Legislature; also county
commissioner and three -erms as
Trustee and Assessor Of Big creek
township. And his election can be
regarded as a foregone conclusion
the fusion majority being over 500
in the county, but he would be
pleased to receive your and all the
votes at the election Nov. 4th.

an important one and few men
in Ellis county are more capable of
filling it than &. G. arnold,

We claimed last June that the
Democrats had captured the nomi
nations for Governor, for Con-
gress, for Judge and that the Pop
ullsts simply held the empty SACK
bat were expected to help the 9th
er fellows pull their chestnuts out
OF the fire, And this was plainly
shown last week in Topeka, for the
Democrats fed their nomination of
candidate for Congress, Mr.. Gale,
long ago, but Mr. Morphy of the
Populist committee didn't try to
file the POpullst nomination until
last week, a day too late, altho'
the convention was held last June.
1t simply was his way of trying
to make Populists become straight
democrats. Sundays K G Star

both Cole and Reeder reside, many
Populist will vote for Mr.. Reeder.

Popuhsts to decide whether they

OF securing the artesian we'll on

the most good should be the cues
ton rather than politics. If Mr.
Reeder can secure this winter in
Congress a $4,000 appropriation
for our Experiment station and get
us one of those wells, he should
have the vote of not only the re-
publican but also every populist
and democratic farmer, to show
him we appreciate his work, just
as much as we ask and expect the
Republicans to vote for Schlyer.

School needs.
Well known Educator tells

Well known Educator tells
how to Improve them.
President Wilkinson says
Improve the Teachers.
President Wilkinson of the State
Normal schools has written the
following article for the Topeka
Evening Journal
ITO improve the schools, I'M
prove the teachers. Former times
justified the saying'-'Like priest,
like people, now we may better
say ''Like teacher, like people,.
for as it the teacher so Is the school
and as is the school in this coun-
try, so will be the people. View
ed in this light the teacher becomes
the Key to the Situation.
The best teacher possible is nee
ded to give inspiration and encour
agenent to children who ale liable
to find school life and work unat-
tractlve. Every reader of this ar
ticle can call to mind some case of
the turning offs child against school
because of the bungling work of an
incompetent teacher. How many
promising careers are checked by
poor teachingl
The best teacher IS needed to
make wise use of the money in
vested IN other school expenses.
Buildings, library and apparatus
have no efficiency in themselves.
This explains Garfeld's saying that
Mark Hopkins with boy under a
tree Is a college. The good teach
er is cheap at the highest price,
the poor teacher is dear at the low
est price. The best teachers will
get great benefit from professional
training. Whatever the State
seeks to introduce into the Public
schools, she can introduce more
economically and effectively thro'
the Normal schools. AS West
Point and Annapolis are necessary
TO the efficiency of the Army and
Navy, so are Normal schools to the
states giving Of universal educa-
ton to its citizens. We need spec
ial training for those who are to
teach the children as universally
as for those who are to train SOL
dlers and sailors.
The best teachers are likely to
continue in the business if they
have been trained so that they feel
they have more invested IN the
teaching profession than they could
hope to invest in any other; the
Normal schools will put into the
teaching profession those who are
better fitted fol- that business than
for any other.
The best teachers arc so essen
tiaT to the success of the schools
that the state could afford, If neces
sary, to shorten the school year,
or economic on school buildings
and equipments in order to furnish
good training for the teachers; the
cost per student in giving training
in the Normal school is less than
in any other school save the COM
mon school, and the returns of this
instruction go directly to the states
own enterprise, the public schools.
The chief earthly concern of
each generation is to prepare its
young for lite, the chef concern of
the State Is the preparation of
its future citizens; the chief agent
of both the parent and the state
is the teacher, and he needs the
very best equipment that can be
given for his work. The greatest
educational need of Kansas is an
abundance of good teachers
