Dead When Found.

AS taken from the Bloomington
(nl.) Bulletin:
A sad accident occurred Thurs
day afternoon in the Alton yards
at Roodhouse. Conductor Bert
Garrett, one of the best known
freight men Of the western division
who resides at Slater, was caught
between two cars while trying to
effect a coupling. He was squeez-
ed so seriously that death was al
most instantaneous. He was res
cued from his position as soon as
possible but life was extinct. The
body was badly mangled by the
drawbars. The victim was well
known and very popular among his
fellow employees ofthe western di-
vision, and his dreadful fate has
created a feeling over the entire
west end.

THE ROD.
Did You Ever Feel Its Dust
ings on Your
Back?

The MESSAGE editor has lived in
Audrain county all his life-it is
our native county. We know
something about the struggles Of
the early settlers. We remember
when neighbors fifteen miles away
were still regarded as neighbors.
We remember the old-time 'hospi-
tality of neighbors. We remem-
Der the deer hunts and occasional.
ly yet, in our imaginings, we can
hear the yelping of the hounds in
the chase.
We remember a great many
things, but the most vivid are those
of our school days. The first
school we attended was sub
seription school, taught by Miss
Sue Shell, daughter Of the late
Judge James Shell, who is now
Mrs. Hurley, living near Perry.
One of our first schoolmates was
E. G. Smith, still residing in this
county.
The lickings the teacher gave us
we shall never forget. One teacher
in particular, Ben Ely, well do we
keep in mind, tho the poor fellow
is dead long since. If Ben didn't
get somebody every day it certain
ly was a day when school didn't
keep. Whippings for fighting whip
pings for bad lessons and missing
words in class, whippings for this
and that.
But we haven't time to go into
"reminiscences any further at this
time. What we started out to do
was to call your attention to an ar
ticle from a Kansas City paper this
week, comments occasioned by a
late court decision in Audrain that
interests school people all over the
county:
THE ROD IN SCHOOL HISTORY.
While corporal punishment in
schools is out Of favor at present,
there are persons who will learn
with tranquility Of the promotion
of the Audrain county teacher who
was recently in court on charge of
having whipped a pupil, The jul
ry, it will be remembered, sided
with the teacher. Now she has Sc
cured a position in the state school
at Chillicothe. Nobody is clamor-
ing for q return to the good old
customs implied in Macaulay's re-
mark that if a pupil of his should
make a certain "error in translat-
ing, assuredly our soul should not
spare for his crying" 1t must be
admitted that methods were a tri-
file severe when even the good DR..
Arnold of Rugby, as described in
tom Brown, "woul6 fog a school
boy for translating triste lupus as
1.-THE sorrowful wolf" instead of
sadly the wolf" But while cru
city is discountenanced, a few old
fashioned persons are left who
look with a certain sense of regret
upon the Switches schoolroom.
| Possibly this feeling is partly
due to sentiment. A stimulating
writer has recently pointed out that
the revival of the colonial style of
architecture in the modern home is
the result chiefly Of association
with the past. A race likes to feel
the continuity of its history. The
man who builds himself colonial
house takes pride in the fact that
it is like the abode of generations
Of his iorefathers. In the same way
the 'hirch''has entered into school
history. II is simply impossible
to think Of a colonial schoolhouse
without its bundle of switches be-
hind the the teaeher's desk. The
rod was as much Of the outfit as the
rude benches themselves, or as the
raised platform where sat the mas
ter. II long preceded the black

Four Saloon Wrecked by Women
In Kansas.

"Cuba, Kansas, Aug. 2S.-Four
Illicit saloons were wrecked by wo-
men. Mrs. E. o. Fites and Mrs.
William Mcdonald, wives of prom
inent business men, armed with
hatchets, first entered the place run
by Ben Hull. They began to
smash everything in sight, and
soon they had demolished bar and
fixtures and broken every bottle
and opened every keg to be found.
Later they were joined by twenty
other women, and the entire party
raided the other three places in
Cuba. The stocks and fixtures at
each place were destroyed"
We do not approve of this meth
cd of dealing with lawlessness. In
Kansas such measures may be the
last resort to save the people from
the curse of the saloon.
We would like to see Kentucky,
including Mt. Sterling, rid of sa-
looms, for their existence is re
proach to any people, especially the
voters who sanction them. We
need law makers who place a high
err estimate upon virtue, honor of
the protection of property and life
than they do upon revenue derived
from the whiskey traffic.
Perhaps the Democratic party
will have it's conscience quickened
on this matter. and make plea for
home protection.
As long as saloon keeper pays
for the privilege of carrying on his
business with it's inexpressible
woe he should be protected from
unlawful destruction of his prop
erty.
