THE PROPER SCHOOL AGE:


Physician, educators, and others
interested in the care and education
of children have recently been dig
GUESSING the proper age for children
to begin school life: $50
This controversy has been aroused
by the remarks Of DR.. I. N. Love,
who said: ..,
Education should begin at birth.
Excessive coeldling should not be
permitted. Tho baby should not be
petted and fused over. >Grand-
mothers make children too social,
and children should not be sent to
school until the ninth year.
While differing upon many points,
the majority of child educators are
that a child should not be sent to
school until it's ninth year. The first
eight years of childs life should be
given to developing good physical
condition and preparing the brain as
a storage house for knowledge.
The advocates of this argument
point out that all of America great

lived in the Country for many years,
doing hard manual labor. When they
did take up their studies they had

PASSING OF THE JACKRABB1T.
Woonsocket, s. D., Herald: The
jackrabbits have been growing more
and more scarce during the last
eight years. Prior, to that time in

would be found by scores where
there is now but one. In the win
ter of 1867, known as the winter
of the deep snow, when the grass
was covered with three feet of.'pack-
ed snow, they gathered in tree
claims in d1oves of from 50 to 200.

PICKETING Is HELD LEGAL.
Judge Chet1ain of Chicago Says Union
Mo- Lac DnncofrrI Mefhnda. u.

Judge Chet1ain of Chicago Says Unions
May Use Peaceful Methods.
Labor unions have right 10 establish
pickets in the public streets and high
ways for the purpose of Inducing. in good.
faith and by peaceful means, uon-upion
workmen to leave their places. Judge
Chetlain of Chicago handed down this
most important ruling the other day. 1t
was in the case Of the petition for tenn.
porary injunction filed By Rehert Tarrant
against the local lodges of the lnterna-
tional Machinists' Association and the
union pickets, which hare patrolled the
streets near his shop. to restrain them
from Interfering with his. workmen.
Though the ruling is directly opposite 10
that Of the federal court IN recent
case, Judge Chetlain granted the injunc-
tion, but he twas careful to explain that
1t was not because Tarrant's place was
picketed, but because the pickets had
used threats and possibly violence. After
expressing his views on the question OF
the right of the employment of piekets
by strikers, Judge Chetlain qualified 1t
by saying that though pickets have the
right under the law to use persuasion
they have no right to resort to violence.

MOVES COUNTY SEAT TO FARM.
Supreme Court Brings Long Nebraska
Fight TO Queer Conclusion.

Fight TO Queer Conclusion.
In its ruling that county officials OF
Knox County must move their offices to
the farm Of William Wishendoff. twelve
miles from the nearest town, the SUI
preme Court of Nebraska has ended the
most remarkable county seat fight in the
entire West, a fight which has been per-
sistently waged for more than twenty
years and has cost the taxpayers $4,000.
Accordingly on April /, the date liked by
the Supreme Court. remarkable exodus
viii take place. Business men of Mob
rara, where the county seat Of Knox
County has been maintained since the be
ginning Of history Of Nebraska, and OF
Verdigris and Creighton. twelve miles
away from Wishendoff's farm, and which
last named two towns win supply the
largest part of the population Of the new
county seat, are already preparing for
this wholesale removal. Many Of the
owners OF buildings will follow the exam
pie of the three towns in Charles Mix
County, across the Missouri in South Da-
kota, where horses were hitched to the
buildings and the entire towns moved
bodily from old to new sites. The new
county seat of Knox County will be cali
ed Center. To-day there is nothing TO
be seen on the site but the sleepy old
farm house and outbuildings of the Wis
aendoffs. The change from Niobrara was
made because that place is on the border
OF the county. and the voters decided to
locate the county seat in the geographical
center of the county

The mystery Of the disappearance Of
Nicholas Paul, an aged recluse who for
merly lived near Fillmore Utah, which
has prevailed for over year and has en-
listed the services OF several hundred
searchers for weeks at time, was clear
ed the other day by the finding of sSei-
eton half buried in the sand in the desert
in the southern part Of the State. The
bones had been gnawed by coyotes. In
the rags that covered them were found
$175 and papers that identified the skele-
ton. 1t was thought that Paul had been
murdered and robbed. 1t is now believed
that he started across the desert into
Arizona, where he had relatives, became
delirious from thirst and wandered away
from the trail, finally pershing
