Small Pox at Truxton School.

1t is reported on the best of autbor.
ity that there are twenty-five cases of
small pox at the Truxton Canyon In.
dian School, the patients being Indian
children. No deaths so far have oc.
Cured and the cases are said to be Of
mild type, although the disease is
very pronounced. DR.. Perkins, the su.
perintendent, is doing everything pos.
sible to prevent the spread Of the dis.
ease to the tribe, but it is possible that
isolated cases among the older indians
may resnlt from the contagion prior
to the discovery of the nature of the
outbreak. The school has been closed
aud the school room is used for the
patients.

The Elks are working earnestly on
the subject of lodge building in
Kingnan and it is expected that the
matter will assume definite shape at
the special meeting to be held next
Monday evening. They now have
enough money in the treasury to buy a
lot and begin the work Of construction
and it is the intention, we believe, to
incorporate company to carry the
matter through. We hope that they
will make the building one that can be
readily used by all the order in the

For nineteen years o. J. Bodley of Rich

of Kansas, and for that matter of the
world, perhaps. He won the champion
ship in 1888 by husking 1854 bushels Of
corn in 91s hours.
Bodley was living at Ottawa He was
10 years old and worked on his fathers
farm. One day in November he went into
the field and husked 142 bushels in 912
hours. There were people in and around
Ottawa who doubted it. One man said he
could husk more corn than young Bod
ley, but that he could not husk 142 BUSH

ability He was willing to wager $500 that
he could not BodIey's father covered the

when he was 10 years old. For seventeen
years he has been in the banking business
and is now cashier of the Peoples State

his former feat at husking, but he is still
ready to try his hand with newcomers,
and so far no one has won the corn h1isk-

Manual Training school. 1t is such
school as Topeka needs; it is a modeb
that the board Of education might fol-

the central school by a covered passage

Training school is a statement Of what
Topeka needs.
The Introduction of manual training
into the public schools Of MenOmonie by
the establishment of the Stout Manual
Training school is to the credit of
James H. Stout the founder of thise
school. and of the people of MenomOnie,
who have from the first provided funds
for the operating expenses. that this en-
terDrise was entered upon while man
ual training was yet in its experimental
stages; while yet the problems Of the
organization Of manual training in pub
lie school courses were new, the courses
sufficiently tried, and those for the
grades not sufficiently outlined, while
yet the element of hazard was large,
and great need existed for the example
and stimulus Of a strong, successful es-
adjustment to do pioneer work In the
northwest. And it is further highly
gratifying that. Notwithstanding this
early beginning, the organization and
courses were laid upon lines which the
authority Of recent experience in all
parts of the country has approved.
The Stout Manual Training school
found its motive in the st. Louis Man
ual Training school, and its immediate
model in the manual training school at
Toledo. AS a resident Of St Louis and
a patron Of the school through the
ph1lanthrOpic aid he gave certain stu
dents pursuing courses therein, Mr..

grow into a deep interest in the work
