The following executive committee was

Il. C. PETER OF Winfield.
The meeting of this association, which
was held in this city Friday and Satur-
day, was the largest and most successful,
both financially and in an educational
way, ever held.
The interest manifested by the teach
ers, their loyalty and enthusiasm in the
work was all that could be asked for and
accordingly at every session of the as
ISOLATION the Congregational church was
crowded.
The enrolment of teachers for this
meeting was the largest in the history
OF the organization.
1t was 54S. This is 80 more than ever
enrolled before. The officers and teachers
are very nue.. elated over the success
of the meeting and feel that il was pro-
ductive Of many lessons that will leave

standard of the teachers IN this district
to be considerably raised
The amount of money taken in at this
meeting exceeded the fondest hopes OF
the officers and s2537s was left to the
association after all expenses were paid.
The meeting was opened yesterday
morning at 915 o'clock with music by
the High School Girls Glee club. Prof.
Carruth spoke on "Curtailing the Cur
ricuiium.' Clarence J. Smith, director
of manual training in the Wichita high
school. spoke at length on the necessity
and Importance Of teaching these
branches in the public schools.
He said Massachusetts declares for it
In her statutes as follows: Every city
and town containing 10000 inhabitants or
more, shall maintain the teaching of man
ual training as a part or both its elemen-
tary and its high school system
Wisconsin. Kansas and Missouri have
also recognized the Importance of these
branches in the public schools by making
appropriations to carry on the work.
Z In Mr.. Smiths opinion true educationf
finds better expression in manual train
inglthsn m many other studies, and more,
that manual training is better mental
training than many who have not in
vestigated its merits win concede.
1t calls out rather than expresses the
activities of the child; it reveals his capa-
biliies; it stimulates his initiative and 1t
peFrnfts of his being examined by stand
ards efsexact truth which he very well
understands
The square and the, rule tell him very
plainly whether he is working out the line
true and correct
This determination is something new
to the youth and leads up to higher
ideals.
Mr.. Smiths address was to the point
and it made an impression with the as
ISOLATION that will probably lead to better
and more efficient work being done IN

much discussion throughout the city, and

THEY ACTUALLY
DO THE WORK
Food Eaten Is Worthless Unless ri.
gested-Sore Stomachs Must
Have Help.

Food taken into the stomach, which,
from the nature of the food or the cond-
ton of the stomach is not digested, is
worse than no food at all. This is true
statement as far as it goes and great
many dyspeptics go only this far with
their reasoning. They argue with them
selves that because their stomachs do not
do the work given them. they must be
given less work; III other words, they
must be starved It would be just as
sensible for a business man who is unable
to do all his own work to cut down his
business to his own capacity as t. is for
a man to starve himself to relieve his
stomach. The sensible business man en-
ploys help and goes forward with his bus
mess. Likewise, the sensible dyspeptic
will employ help for his stomach and give
his body proper nourishment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually do
the work assigned 10 them. They relieve
weak and overburdened stomachs of
greet portion OF digestive action. Their
component parts are identical with those
of the digestive fluids and secretions of
the sctomach and they simply take up the
grind and carry on the work just the same
rs q good strong. healthy stomach would
do it.
On this account Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
lets are perfectly natural in their action
and effects. They do not cause any IN
natural or violent disturbance in the
stomach or bowels, They themselves di-
gest the food and supply the systeul with
al the nourishment contained in what is
eaten and carry ont natures plan for
the sustenance and maintenance of the
body
How muzh more sensible IS this method
than that employed BY many sufferers
from weak stomachs. BY this means body
and brain get all the. good nutritious
food they reed and the man is properly
noarished aud equipped to carry on his
work ard perform his duties He could
not Iossihly be in proper working ccndi-
tiOn by starving himself or employing
some new tangled insufficient food that
does not contain enough rutriulent for 4

1t seems the deep wells on the
College grounds have failed after
all. They are four in number, and
range from 80 to 1875 feet in depth.
There was at first an abundant sup
ply of water, but it fell 16 feet in
one day and now there is not
enough for use. 1t is unfortuna e
that there should be such a diminu-
tion after such fair promise of plenty
of water for all uses, both for lawns
and buildings. In 10 hours there
was pumped 1000 gallons and now
comparatively none.

Saturday evening Mrs. Mary
Stewart fell and fractured her hip,
it is thought. Mrs. Stewart was at
the home of her grandson, Johnny
Swick, about one mile north of
Corvallis. About 7 o'clock in the
evening she went out on the porch,
where she fell She had been quilt
ing during the day and felt quite
dizzy and was unable to maintain
her balance. Although che fell
only a short dista nee it was suffi-
cient to cause a very serious acci-
dent. Mrs. Swick and Mrs. Stewart
were alone at the time of the acci-
dent and it was about 10 o'clock be-
fore there was anyone to send
for doctor, and several of the ply
sicians being out of town it was
about midnight before one arrived.
Grandma Stewart has passed her
eightieth mile stone. and such an
accident at her age is indeed un-
fortunate, and she has the sympa-
thy of the community.

The Observer has previously men
toned that Colonel Patrick Henry

embarked in journalism at Spokane,

paper called WinstOn's Weekly. Col.
Winston is we'll remembered here and

Democrats to nominate Cleveland

Maryland, West Virginia and Ken

Girls Cannot Be Too Careful.

Girls, be careful. Maidenly mod
esty, good taste and prudence seem
to be at Il discount with many of our
budding young maidens.' y
The above extract was read not
with pleasure but pain! Alas! we
fear it is true. This is fast age and
many of our girls and young ladies
seem to have no restraining power
at home or at school, and often on
the streets there is not shown that
modesty, good breeding, good taste
and prudence that must always
mark the cultured, refined and pure
woman. We would not for anything
curb the elasticity of youth, but girls
should be directed to be quiet on the
streets or in public, not boisterOus,
not rude, not forward, but act al
ways with dignity and modesty.
1t is Il well known fact that the fast
girl never has that respect shown her
by men that the cultured, modest,
refined lady commands. A boy can
go on the streets 81 in public and be
boisterous and rOmp, use slang, and
nothing is said of it. Let a girl do
the same thing. no matter how pure
she may be, many tongues are set to
wa"ging, unkind, cruel things said
which would cause any sensitive
woman to blush with shame Girls,
you cannot be too circumspect in
your own pure selves. Do nothing,
say nothing that can give a chance
for gossip. A good woman is more
to be desired than gold or precious
stones.
