his office at the high school on Fri
day of this week from 9 o'clock a. m.

Peoples Lecture Course.

Following are the numbers and
dates of the lecture course for the
season of 1904-5:
Henry Watterson, Oct. Is.
Morgan Wood, Nov. II.
Dunbar Quartette, Dec. Il.
dorado Taft, Jan. "a.
Rose Crane, Mar. q.
Watterson will lecture in the M. E..
church, Oct. Is, but six weeks from
now. Everybody will want to hear
Watterson. 1t is not often that an
opportunity offers to hear so dis
tinguished a speaker. It is doubt
full if even the M. E. church, with
the largest seating capacity of any
house in the city, can accommodate
all who will seek TO hear him.

a word was joined to its neighbor.
Then came craze for VERTICAL
writing, which invaded the schools
| al over the land. Now reaction
comes to this and the teaching of
vertical writing is being discour-
aged. The trustees of the schools
in Chicago have taken decisive
steps to abolish the practice in that
city. One of the trustees remarked
at a recent board meeting: THE
straight up-and-down may be good
to write love letters in but it is not
good for keeping books. l do not
know of set OF books kept in
Chicago where the vertical style of
writing is allowed, If boy can
write only the vertical style bust
ness houses have little use for him. :"
And now the Marquette school
board has decided to return to the
Spencerian system of writing in the
schools of that city. This deter
mination Was arrived at in a recent
meeting of the board of education
and the vote to abolish vertical
writing was unanimous. All told,
1856 business and professional men
were consulted as to the change
and of these 1873 affixed their names
TO the proposition to return to the
Spencerian system, two were in
different, and the other, while not
opposed to the Spencerian hand,
was satisfied with the vertical.

Vertical Writing Abolished.

Fashions change. Some changes
are improvements and some are "a
step in advance backward" The
style of clothes is probably the
most susceptible to modification
an intirnation of the amount of at
tention the minds of people give to
the adornment of their persons.
These changes have for their foun-
dation the intention of attracting at
tention. In some other things be-
sides attire there is disposition
among class of people for change.
Some are awful tired of the old
fashioned way of spelling certain
words and mean to reform the or
biography of the English language.
If our ancestors had known as
much as some people who were
born yesterday they would have left
on record method of spelling that
it wouldn't have taken forty years
to learn. The system of handwrit-
ing has undergone considerable
change within the last fifty years.
Originally the intention was to
write plainly, legibly. The letters
were made without fourishes or
tails, and goose quill was used
for pen. A qualification demand
ed of a school teacher was that he
had a pen-knife and could make a
pen of a quill and mend one that
was worn. Then the Spencerian
and other systems were invented,
with exact requirements as to slant
and height of each letter with an
attachment by which each letter of

The board of park commissioners
are very much in need of more
money to carry out the work begun
in the park this summer. There is
a great deal of work that ought to
be done in the way of road grading,
making of paths, etc. For this rea-
son the board have decided on an
entertainment to raise money for
this end. This will consist of a
Harvest Festival and Dance and it
is sincerely hoped that one feature
or the other will appeal to every
citizen who is interested in seeing
the park put in proper shape. If
you don't dance, go and visit with
your neighbors, or if you don't care
for either of these don't fail to buy
a ticket for the sake of the cause.
The pavilion will be decorated ap-
propriate to the harvest time by a
committee of ladies and you will be
made welcome by a number of
gentleman and ladies whose names
alone will insure you a pleasant
evening. In short, everything will
be done to make the entertainment
pleasant and profitable and it is
hoped that the park treasury will
be greatly benefited thereby.

FALSEHoOD.

The following article is taken from
Pierre's capital campaign literature:
"A feature in much of Mitchell's
capital literature is such statements
as this:
"Pierre promises its citizens that
the next legislature will appropriate
OIL 100000 for a new state house il
the capital is not removed
4 "Such a statement is an absolute
falsehood.
Nothing Of the sort was ever
suggested by Pierre to its citizens
Or to anybody else as an inducement
to procure subscriptions to the CAPT
tai fund or for any other purpose.
"Pierre's capital committee auth
orizes us to declare that $500 will
be paid to any public charity in the
state for evidence that Mitchell's
statement has any truth whatever in
il.
The citizens of Pierre have not
been asked by the capital committee
for a single dollar on the sshscrip-
tions they have made.
"Pierre's subscriptions are she vol
untary offerings of her people.
The capitol building at Pierre
is good enough until a fund
can be realized from the lands
donated by the general government
for that purpose.
The capitol building at Pierre
is better adapted for the states
than any structure Mitchell
can provide.
Don't allow yourself TO be fooled
by Mitchell's positive misrepresen-
tations."

Both factions of the republican

selves disgusting to the whole nation
by their efforts to force President
Roosevelt to recognize n or the
other of them. The leaders thus
show to the world that is not the
welfare of the republican party in
the state that interests them so much
as their personal supremacy in the
party. A good licking would do
them both good and at this distance
il looks very much as though they
get il in November.
