Defective Sight in Children.

The handicap of imperfect Wis
ion naturally interferes with the
progress of the child in his studies,
says DR.. Grace Peckham Murray.
in an article in the October DELIN-
EAToR on backward children. A
welI-known oculist Of New York
states that the detective vision is Il
very common cause Of apparent
mental dulness in young children.
A child's eyes should be examined
when he is old enough to attend
school, in order to be sure that he
does not suffer from the lack of
good eyesight. One writer has
SAID that he never met with a case
of chronic bad spelling that he did
not also fad some visual defect.
1t must bp remem bered that trou-
BILE from imperfect seeing comes
not only from seeing words and
figures wrongly but also from fa-
tiguc of the brain caused by eye
strain.

SHORT OF TEACHERS.
Some Are Needed in Western
Kansas Counties.

There is a shortage of teachers in a
number of counties of Kansas" said
Supt Nelson today. Franklin and
fewer teachers than schools, and there
will be a small shortage in Pawnee. The,
same condition will probably exist in q.
number of other counties, but cannot
say for a certainty in just what ones.
There seem to be different reasons
for the shortage. The superintendent
of Hodgeman county writes me that B.
number of the best teachers in that
county are going away to college, which
makes the shortage in that county. A.
a rule, however, / have noticed that
when we have good times there is liable
to be fewer teachers than when times
are hard Along about 1894 the inst1-
tutes were full and we had more teach
ers than we knew what to do with
Then when times got better other lines
of business became more remunerativc
and teachers went into the business in
which they could make the most money
Teachers wages have not advanced in
keeping with other lines of work. /
presume the shortage of teachers will
mean that the salaries will be eventually
increased 1t is a peculiar fact that
some of the towns in the western part
of the state pay better salaries than
those further east. For instance. the
little towns of Wa-Keeney and Syracuse
pay their principals $S5 month, and
think Hays City pays over 800, while
the same grade of towns, Lindsbor8
Hi1lsboro and others further east, pay
only $50 and $60."

Gen. Sigeps body was conveyed from
the residence by a guard of honor from
the elisa post, No. 264, G. A. r.
The coffin, wrapped in an American
flag. was placed on a catafalque, banked
with flowers and a large portrait of
Gen. Sigel and the flag of the German
revOlutionists of 184S-'49.
Fully 10000 persons marched by the
body while it rested in the hall.
At the services number of addresses
in German were made, and choir from
the Melrose turnverein sang.
Among the speakers was Carl SchurZ.
He said that Germany would not be
what it is today but for the revolution
of 1848 and 1849, which made possible
the success of 1861.
He said he had fought in one German n
war with Gen. Sigel and one American
war. and for SO years they had been
friends.
After Mr.. schurz's address, Chaplain
Thomas 4Skafris of the elisa post read
the Grand Army burial service. The
coffin was then placed on caisson from
WendePs battery. The different socie-
ties formed in line, headed by the elisa
post band and two companies of United
States artillerymen from Governors is

After followed delegation from other
G. A. r. posts, the North side board of
trade, the 18th army corps society, the
54th regular veterans, the Gen. Sige1

a collection of war relics and letters

drawing pension of $1,000, but his
constant sickness ate into the amount,

Fate Of Minnie Mitchell Is Still
in Doubt.

Chicago, Aug. 25.-Doubt as to the
identity of the body buried as Minnie
Mitchell, must for some time compli-
cate the mystery shrouding the Bar
tholin-Mitchell murder case For the
second time Judge Brentano today re-
fused to issue an order to exhume the
body of the woman which was found
on August at Seventy-fourth and State
streets. Robert Mitchell, brother of the
supposed decedent, declined to sign affi-
davit necessary for the exhumati ton. He
said his family was willing that the
body be disinterred, but that, although
the only means of Identification they
had were articles of clothing found near
the dead body. they were not willing to
take the initiative.

rounding country to welcome President
Roosevelt Lynn has taken on gala at
tire, and all was in readiness by noon.
From the city hall an especially elabo-
rate display of bunting and flags
showed we'll. and in front stand taste
fully trimmed was in place from which
the president was to speak. Soon after
o'clock Mayor Shepherd, Alderman
Eastman and VIM. A. Wiley, president
of the common council, drove to the
boundary line between Lynn and Ma
hant, where they met the president and
his party as they came from Nahant.
There was a rapid change of carriage
the mayor entering that of the president
in place of j. T. Wilson of the Nahant
selectmen, who took Mayor Shepherds s
seat and the march was taken up to
the city hall.
Factories, shops and stores generally
closed at noon. and the streets were
pie lined the way and the cheers re-
sounded continually The presidents
appearance on the speakers stand
caused a swelling wave of applause ana
over tie throng.
The cheering broke out afresh as the
president arose to speak. His address
was brief and at its conclusion he was
escorted to the railroad station to take
the train for Boston.
AT NAHANT
Nahant, Mass, Aug. 25.-This town
kept holiday because President Roose-
welt was guest of one of her distinguish
ed citizens over night. The demonstration
at Lynn and here has greatly pleased
the president who, however, has taken
the expression of approval as being
meant as much for Senator Lodge for
himself.
President Roosevelt enjoyed an undis-
turbed night of rest at the residence of
Senator Lodge and this morning he arose
as fresh as when his New England trip
began He is showing sign of fatigue
and appears to be benefited greatly by
the bracing New England atmosphere.
He has not slept on a train since he start
ed and this fact added to the absence of
considerable formality. such as handshak-
ing, preventing much WEAKNESS.
AS the afternoon advanced crowds
streamed into the town in the hopes of
getting a glimpse of the DISTINGUISHED
visitors. The president remained with
Senator Lodge all the forenoon. He
was not even seen by a party of Is wo-
men who appeared at the Lodge resi-
dence and stripping a big American
flag from their barge, stretched it across
the stand and set up three hearty cheers
for the president.
Promptly at 2:30 the guns of the bat
terry began booming and the town COM
! mittee appeared at the entrance to SEN
dent and escort him to the Nahant
public library. The president was
greeted with cheers upon his appear
! ance and he appeared upon the plat
form erected in front of the library an
other ovation burst from the crowd.
When at length he could be heard the
president made a brief address.
Resuming his place in the carriage,
President Roosevelt proceeded toward
Lynn.
