About $50 certificates of
award have been issued to pu-
pills of the county. This means
that that number have been per-
feet in attendance for three
months.
The superintendent began his
second round of school visiting
last week. 1t is his intention to
visit most of the schools in the
county again before they close.
Miss Anna Hershman will com
plete the term of school in the
Parb hurst district which was
begun by Miss Rymal.
The schools taught by the fol
lowing named teachers are de-
serving of worthy mention be-
cause of the record made during
the past month III the matter
of fattendance-Miss Clementine
Hanks, Lola Berry, Bird E. Linn
Anna Moncur, Bessie Coquil-
lette and June Taylor.
1t is hoped that teachers will
encourage the eighth grade pu-
pills to remain in school and fin
ish the years work. A number
of teachers have written that
they were expecting one or sew
eral pupils ready for graduation.
Let us have a larger class than
ever this year. The new law
which provides that every pupil
WHO finishes the eighth grade
shall have his tuition paid at a
neighboring high school, should
be sufficient incentive to cause
every ambitious boy and girl to
make strenuous efforts to COM
plete the common school course.
Miss Clenentine Hanks will
this week finish a six mouths
term of school in Gilbert twp.
She Will at once enter the State
Normal at Madison and COM
plete the course ofstudy she be-
gan there two years ago. Miss
Hanks is one Of our best teach
ers, and it is hoped that when
she has finished her work at
Madison she will rerurn and
again take up her profession in
Hand county.
1t is. the opinion Of the state
department that children who
are habituallv tardy can be
compelled under section 236O of
compiled school laws to be at
school on time. If necessary to
bring an action it would be un-
der the head Of "Truaney."
The Superintendent has no de-
sire to cause any hardship p to any
one or make unnecessary trou-
bic, but he feels that quite a
number of children in the county |
are being unjustly deprived of
the schooling to which they are
entitled; and therefore an at
tempt will be made to enforce
those portions of the law that
are being violated by parents
and guardians in keeping child |
rem out of school Ill or part of
the time. This week several |
school officers will be notified to
make Investigations, and if nee

The first blow was struck
Monday night, when four Japa-
nese torpedo boats slipped into
the harbor at Port Arthur,
where the main Russian fleet was
anchored, and shot booms or
torpedoes under two first class
battle ships and one cruiser. All
were disabled, and beached.
The Japs escaped unharmed.
Next day a long range battle
damaged two more Russian
ships, and killed a number of
Russians. Then the Jap feet
sailed away.
Japanese warships caught two
Russian warships at Chemulpo,
Korea, and captured them.
Jap troops are landing to oc-

The war is now on in earnest,
and it will be a bitter contest
until the interest," of other ma
tions probably end it
While Russia greatly exceeds
Japan in size and people, yet
there may not be so very much
difference III the war. Russia's
navy is not all in the Japanese
waters, and kussias soldiers on
the coast are many miles from
their base OF supplies, which

HAS TRIED BOTH.
Travel for Health VS.. Dieting.

A man who was sent to Europe for
his health and finally found cure in a
little change in his diet says:
II was troubled with dyspepsia for
i've years and two doctors here in Ke-
nosha that treated me for over a year
both told me there was no help for
me. Then / had an expert from Chi
cago, but still received no relief; then
'ollowed another expert from Chicago
Tho came to our house two times a
month for four months. He gave me
up like all the others and told me to
take a trip across the ocean, which I
did in the year 1899 and came home
about as bad as when started. The
doctors told me my stomach lining was
full of sores. Then / began to study
my own case and learned of the diet
recommended by the Postum Cereal
Co.. 81 I gave up cofiee, pork and all
greasy foods and began using Postum
Food Coffee. Gradually I got better and
better until / I'M well now as I ever
was in my younger days, have NO trou-
BILE and eat anything fit to eat.
Sometimes away from home I am
persuaded to drink coffee, but I only
take a sip of ii, for it tastes bitter and
dl~sagreeable to me. but the longer I use
Postum the better I like it and the
better / feel. / could say a great deal
more OF my experience with Postum,
but think this will give everyone a
good idea of what leaving OF coffee

Evils of Mock Gentiiity.

Students Of social conditions are
alarmed at the false pride which makes
young men prefer to be poorly paid
clerks rather than well-paid working
men. That the desire for mock gentil-
fly exists is shown by the eagerness
with which youths who would be first
class mechanics or able farmers rush
but half-qualiied into the learned pro-
LESSONS, only to meet disaster, its
more w~ide-reaching effects are to de-
Drive the community of efficient work
ingmen and to multiply useless mem
bers of society.

None of Their Erstwhile Cronies
Present to Bid the St. Louis
Boodlers Good-By.
WERE TAKEN TO JEFFERSON CITY
BY SUPREME COURT MARSHAL FINK.
Julius Lehman and Emil HART
mann Arrived at the state Peni-
Tertiary and Have Begun Their
Sentences of Seven and Six Years
Respectively.

st. Louis, June 15.-Julius Lehman
and Emile Hartmann, the first of the
convicted st. Louis boodlers whose pen
itentiary sentences have been affirmed
by the supreme court, have been taken
to Jefferson City to begin their terms
Of Imprisonment, seven and six years
respectively.
They left St. Louis in charge of
James P. Fink, marshal of the su-
preme court.
The prisoners were not seemingly
downcast, although they have practi-
cally abandoned hope of escaping the
full force of the sentence. There is a
bare chance, according to some attor-
neys, OF a rehearing being granted by
the supreme court, or of the cases be-
ing taken before the United States su-
preme Il on a writ of error, but
both chances, it is thought, are re-
mote.
Lehman was regarded as r~ingleader
in the compact of 10 house of dele
gates members to accept SAT. 800 for
their votes on the city lighting bill in
1890, and was host at the famous
birthday party" where the Doodle
fund was divided.
Marshal Fink, as soon as he reached
st. Louis, went to the home Of Jailer
Dawson and presented the commitment
papers for Lehman and Hartmann.
Dawson went at once with him to the
Jail.
The prisoners were ordered to get
ready to go to the p~enitentiary. Their
toilets were completed within Is min
utes, and together, and without hand
cuffs, they were marched out of the
Jail.
At the four courts door both men
looked out and across the street as
though hoping to see a friend. They
found none. They were completely
thrown down" by their former friends.
A man by the name of Harris, whom
Lehman had known, passed near.
lehman called out to him. Harris
came slowly over and shook hands.
Jailer Dawson and Deputy Sheriff
John Nickels accompanied Fink and
his prisoners to Union station, and
saw them on their train.
Both prisoners bought newspapers
and began tt read. Dawson and Nick
els babe them a ~perfunctory adieu and
left the car. Fink kept watch. A light
satchel was within easy reach, but he
had no weapons in sight. Neither of
the prisoners was ~handcuffed.
Lehman and Hartmann refused to
discuss their plans. They glanced over
the tops of their papers at the ques-
TONERS, replied nothing to say" to the
the train started, each man cast a
glance out of the window, but as their
car passed out Of the train shed they
were again reading.

spots on The boat untouched by the
flames and in these were piled up men
and women who had tainted and, fall
ing, pinned others to the deck.
1.-The men from the tugs who could
get near the steamboat shouted for
those on board to jump and then the
small boats picked them up by the
score"
From all that can be gathered, no
alarm was sounded when the fire was
discovered, but the crew tried TO ex-
tinguish the flames without alarming
the passengers.
Nothing to do But Jump.
Thos6 in the after portion of the boat
did not know it was on fire until the
flames had swept back on them. Then
there was nothing to do but jump over
board or be burned to death.
Persons on the shore say that there
were scores huddled in an apparently
with the breeze blowing"the flames and
smoke away from them, when sudden
ly the deck fell in. After The cloud of
smoke had drifted away The observers
looked beck to where the crowd had
been. standing. The space was vacant.
Many of the children picked up by
small boats were dashed TO camp stools
and other light boat furnishings, show
ing that some adult had tried to make
the little ones safe. These precautions
proved inadequate in the terrible cur
rent, and in the w%hirlpools.
Very Few Had Life P~reservers.
Very few of the children picked up
had on life preservers. Children can not
get at the life p~reservers on excursion
boats in this harbor. They are dashed
to the ceili1 gs over the decks and can
only DE reached by a tall person.

who was on board, says d ferryboat

offered no assistance. Two policemen
who had been assigned to accompany
the excursion jumped from the burning
steamer and reached the shore in safe
ty. One of them was slightly burned.

Morals and Habit,

A writer in Harper's Bazaar-a wo-
man, of c~ourse-takes women to task
because their morals are a matter of
habit while mems are a matter of
principle. She admits that in actual
living woman's moral habit" accom-
plishes more for her than mans
principles" do for him; but if she
could combine both principles and
habit she would be grand and COM
plete," Men should receive the meef
of praise here given for their principle
with that unpresuming humility thit
most becomes them.

woman,s BeautifuI Age.

It Is said that if a woman lives in
harmony with the laws of nature she
will grow more beautiful as she grows
older. She should be more beautiful
at 40 than at 16, if she is not a victim
TO the ravages of disease. Most of the
world-famous beauties reached their
zenith at 40. Helen of Troy was frs
heard of at that age. Cleopatra was
more than 80 when she met Antony.
Aspasia was % when she married
PericIes and was still a brilliant figure
20 years later. Anne of Austria was

Lambs Are Getting Wise.

Shearing lambs on Wall street is
less profitable than it was a year or
two ago; the wool does not grow so
fast as it has been clipped, and some
of the lambs are getting wise. At the
height of the speculative boom a good
deal over $4,000 was paid for more
than one seat on the stock exchange.
Recently a seat was sold for SGT, 500
and on Friday one was sold for $50, 900.
There is one form of business that can
shrink a good deal without inflicting
injury upon the country.
