study, you may know 1t is time to
look into the matter.
Among the many important lessons
to be learned, the school aims to cul-
tivate the habit of promptness and
punctuality, knowing this will con-
tribute much toward success in after
life. You prize nothing more highly
in the business side of your child's
life than the fixed habit of "being
there and being there on time when
he has anything to to do. 1t means
character in him. A very large
part of the absence and tardiness in
school is due to carelessness, and
could be avoided If looked after a
little. Your hearty cooperation in
all effort to secure this end is asked
for. 1t will pay well when the boys
and girls get into active life, where
promptness and punctuality are ap
preciated and have a money value.
In order that as great precautions
as possible may be taken against tn,
spread of small pox, which has be
come quite prevalent in recent year
the Board of Education has require,
that all pupils shall present certifi
Gates of vaccination from some re
putable physician as a condition o
entering or remaining in school, an,
that teachers shall see that this rul
is strictly enforced.

DISASTROUS
Fire Sunday Morning at Lake
View.
TimmOnS' Elevator Burned---LOSS
$4,000.

Sunday morning, at l:3O o'clock,
two BARRIERS of Lake View, going
home from their work, discovered
Timmons' elevator on fire. They
promptly sounded the alarm, but the
fire had gained such headway, that
owing to the height of the building,
and the lack of facilities for fighting
such fire, 1t was impossible to save
the elevator. and it burned to the
ground.
A frame residence adjoining the
elevator took fire, and was also
burned.
Several other buildings were only
saved by the heroic work of the citi-
zens.
There was large amount of grain
in the elevator, and the total loss
amounts to about $4,000.
The elevator was the largest and
best on the T. & o. c., between St.
Marys and Columbus.
A number of farmers lost their
wheat, which they had stored in the
elevator.
The house that was burned, belong.
ed to Mr.. Timmons, and was occupied
by his employe, Mr.. Robbins, who had
charge of the elevator.
The fire caught in the engine room.
The elevator and the dwelling we're
both covered by insurance.
Steps were taken, Monday morning
to Immediately rebuild.

FROM EARTH TO HEAVEN
Mrs. Carrie Candy Suffers No
More.

Just as the bells were ringing, al
the close of the Sabbath day the
spirit of Mrs. Carrie Canby passed
from this earth to the Great Beyond
For several months a sufferer from
stomach trouble, her friends could
see her slipping from them. fading
like a beautiful flower. A few days
ago she was unable to come down
stairs, and the friends realized the
end was near.
Caroline Wallace Collier-Canby
was born in Cambridge, Mass, of
Engllsh parentage. She was chris
tened in the Old South Church. In
her early girlhood she came with her
mother to Cincinnati, to complete
her education. Mrs. Collier Joined
the Sect of Swedenborgians, in that
city and the daughter early imbibed
the same faith and was a faithful be-
lever of the doctrines of that church.
She was for a number of years a
teacher in the college in Urbana, O.
A beautiful singer, she was soloist
of the college choir. and while visit
ing with them in this city she met
Mr.. John Candy whom she after
wards welded.
Her mother, Mrs. Collier, of saint
ed memory, made her home with
them until she was called to her
heavenly home, and it was the great
est pleasure of Mr.. and Mrs. Canby
to make her life here a happy one.
To Mr.. and Mrs. Candy we're born
three daughters. The father and
two of his daughters have been on
the other shore for a number of
years, and Miss Clara is the only
surviving child. Miss Lydia Candy,
sister of Mr.. John Candy, who has
made her home with the family, is
now the greatest of earthly comfort
ers.
These two loving ones cared ten
derby for the invalid, and their lifes
will indeed be lonely, now she is gone.
She will be greatly missed in Trini-
ity Episcopal church of this city of
which she was a faithful supporter,
although she never transferred her
membership.
Funeral services will be held at
the home, Tuesday, at I p. M, in
charge of Rev. L. p. Mercer, of the
Swedenborgian church of Cincin-
natl. The remains will be taken to
that city to be laid in beautiful
Spring Grove Cemetery, Wednesday
morning.

School Has Opened.
A Word to the Pupils.

The only way to get the greatest
good out of your school work is to
give close, diligent application to
| 1t. Hard work and faithful attention
brings its reward, and you will find II
true in any work of after life you
may follow.
Skimming over your lessons, half
getting them in order to make some
sort of a show in recitation, Is poor
business and no one knows any bet
ter than you that it does not pay.
If you want an education for the
good It will do you, keep in mind a
few things which may be said to be
the chief elements of what constitute
an education:
!. CORRECTNESS and precision In
the use of the mother tongue.
2, Those refined and gentle man.
ners which are the expression of
fixed habits of thought and action.
3. "The power and habit of rehec.
tion-
4. "The power of intellectual
growth.
5. Efficiency, or the power to do"
A Word TO Parents.
You can be of very excellent help
in getting good work from your chill
dren If you will but take an active
interest in that work and insist that
1t be well done, as you would
insist upon any other work that
10 worth doing at all. The day
in the high school is divided into six
periods for study and recitation; at
least four of these are used by nearly
every pupil for recitations, leaving
but two periods for study.
1t is impossible for school pupils to
do all of their studying in school
hours and do 1t anything like we'll.
The very best of the students do not
pretend to do SO, and the work is
never assigned with such a possibili-
ty in view. Time is a necessary ele-
ment In good work of any kind, and
work hurriedly done Is almost sure to
be poorly done.
Some home study is absolutely nee
essary in school work, in order to sue
ceed as you wish your child to sue
ceed. The time is worth too much
to your child and to you to permit of
poor work when good may be secured
by little more effort. If you see
but little or no evidence of home

STRUCK DEAD
By Lightning. As He Stood
In His Barn Door.
Every Bone In His Body Was
Broken.

During the rain storm that passed
over the county Saturday morning,
and when 1t had nearly ceased at
Bellefontaine, 1t being then about
fifteen minutes after six, there was a
vivid flash of lightning and a peal of
thunder in the East.
Mr.. Henry Skidmore, a farmer of
Perry township, had been out feeding
and was standing in the door of his
barn at this time and was struck by
the lightning and killed. There was
no mark on his body, but every bone
in 1t seemed to have been broken.
The unfortunate man was 30 years
of age, had been married five years,
and leaves a wife and three children.
He was a cousin of Auditor Milligan,
a son of David Skidmore, and was
reared near Raymond in Union
county.
He was an Industrious farmer, a
kind husband and father, and a
worthy citizen. His unfortunate
death is deeply deplored.
A later account states that Mr..
Skidmore had finished milking, and
was in the act of hanging his stool
on nail in post of the barn, that
was struck by lightning. A hand
who was feeding the horses, in anoth-
er part of the barn. was knocked
down, and was able to get up, only
after two or three efforts. Twin four
fear old children had gone with Mr..
| S. to the barn. and the hand hearing
their cries to their father. hurried
to the scene, only to see him raise
his head, and fall back, lifeless.
The electric storm was very severe
in that section, and several places
we're struck.
The funeral, which was held yes.
Iterday, was largely attended.
The heartbroken mother and her
|fatherless children have the tender
lsympathies of the entire community.
