State Education for the Blind.

Every child has a right to an
education. This is true of blind
children as well as of sighted ones.
In recognition of this principle
the state of Wisconsin has made
wise and generous provision for the
education Of all the blind and par
TALLY blind children within it's bor-
ders. A school for the blind is
maintained at GAINESVILLE, Wiscon-
sin, for the education and training
of the blind, which is free to resi-.
dents of this state Tuition, books,
board and washing for forty weeks
year-from Septe mber to June
are furnished without any charges
whatever. Pupils MY be admitted
upon application to the superin-
tendent of the school.
1t is not necessary that child
be totally blind to be entitled to the
advantages of this school. Any child
whose sight is SO defective that he
cannot proftably attend the regular
public school may attend the school
at GAINESVILLE.
Have you a blind child in your
family? Do you know of a child in
this state who has defective sight?
If so, write at once to the James
vile school for blind for informa-
ton and application blanks. Every
child is entitled to an education.
1t is imperative that the blind have
every possible advantage for train
ing and culture.

NO UNIFORM ORDER OUT.
Within Short Time, However, Rural
Mail Carriers May Don Dress.

A statement enanating from the
department makes emphatic denial
Of the report that an order has been
issued requiring carriers in the rural
mail delivery service to wear uni
forms, though it is expected that a
regulation dress for all employees
of the service may be adopted with
in few months. In some sections
carriers have voluntarily, and ac-
cording to their own ideas, provided
uniform, and this gave rise to the
report that the department would
make the demand. The matter has
been under consideration for sever
al weeks past, but officials have
reached the conclusion that at
present it would be inadvisable to
issue the order. Local carriers
have been interested in the matter,
but took no steps to provide uni
forms, having no official notification.

CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY.
Grandma Martha Boyce, Oct0genar-
ian, Has Pleasant Party.

Forty members of the Lancaster
w. r. G. met at the hospitable
home of Mrs. Martha Simpson
Saturday evening, who entertained
in honor of the eighty second birth
day of her mother, Mrs. Martha
Boyce.
The party assembled on the lawn,
the weather being exceptionally
fine. There was spread sufficient
for host, and all said that every
thing was just as delicious as plenti-
full.
The evening was filed with
pleasurable entertainment of a
varied nature. The guests registered
by carving their names on a tree
in the yard. The tree now has a
good mission to fulfill, and so
probably will live. The most prom
inent feature of entertainment
was foot race between Mrs. Will
Humphrey and Rev. Morgans.
Among the elderly people present
was Mrs. Rebecca Croft, "a years of
age.
Rev. Morgans was the only man
present, until finally REINFORCED by

one Cub" Kilbourn, a young
man with Ringing Bros. show,
dated Pueblo, Colo, conveying the
sad intelligence of the death of her
brother, Clarence Clyde Kitelinger,
son of Andrew A. Kitelinger of this
city.
Young Kitelinger was employed
by Ringing Bros as aeronaut,
making balloon ascensions in con-
nection with the show. He began
the perilous business last spring in
South Dakota, and was so success
full that Ringing Bros employed
him at Huron, and he had been
with them all the season.
The letter stated that he became
so accustomed to the ascensions
that he became reckless, and when
making an ascension at a great
height the balloon bursted and the
parachute would not open. After
