that will enable him to keep

time the little one must become
interested. or he will fail to be
greatly benefited by his early

order to interest and hold child's
attention, it is necessary to intro
duce other things which will not

life, but be of real lasting benefit
to the 9hild. Singing and draw
.ipaaeons, and stories of nature,
tory. and geography told by
he teacher, all help to develop.
memory, and at the same time
prove of inestimable value to the
child.
Therefore, it must be clearly
seen that no public school teach
er in a crowded, ungraded school
such as we have in our" county,
can possibly pay the attention to
our little folks we would like to
have paid them, and while we
wait for the public schools to i'm
prove, our primary tots are grow
ing up with unframed minds, and
will be poorly equipped to enter
the High School and College.
Therefore l appeal to all par
ents of small children, let us stand
as unit in having a first class
primary school established i'll our
village.
No lone dollar a month" sys-
tenn will do this. No giddy headed
inexperienced college girl can do
it. We can't afford to let a young
beginner experiment with our
children, but there should be some
way to enable us to employ the
services of an experienced teach
er who will take an interest in
the work for the works sake, and
not merely to keep school, for
what few dollars it pays, such per-
sons never succeed.
We cannot expect, however.
for any person OF experience to
devote their time and energy to
this work without ample reward,

me again on this subject as | have

THOUGHT IT
WAS JOKE
MANAGER OF COSGRIFF STORE
DID NOT REALIZE HOlD-UP UN-
TIL TOO LATE TO SHOOT.
Was Not Seen by Highwayman When
He Entered Store and Might Have
Shot His Liver-Lights Out While
He Waited-Threw Up His Hands
in a Spirit of Fun Only.

! Grant kisor, the manager of the
Cosgritf store at Rock River, which
was robbed a week 6 tonight pre-.
sumably by Herbert Amber, who is
now in the county Jail charged with
the crime, says had he taken a half
minutes time to think, he could have
killed the robber just as easily as the
latter held up II robbed the store.
He had every advantage, but believ-
ing h command to hold up his hands
was a joke being perpetrated by some
resident of the town, complied in a
spirit of fun and her faced a stern
reality.
Mr.. kisor was behind the postofice
letter file at the time the highwayman
entered the store, Inc believes the lat
ter did not see him. He keeps a pistol
in the postotfice department of the
store, and being behind the case, out
of the range Of vision from the store,
could have gained possession of it and
used it before the robber knew he
was there.
Il saw the man enter" he said, and
heard him give the command, Hands
up l thought it was some of the
neighbors and stepped out, at the
same time throwing my hands in the
air. Then | saw that the man was dis.
guised, and it was too late to make a
play at him. The only other occupant
of the room was young Wagner, a
nephew of c. l.. Wagner of Laramie,
and while We stood with our hands in
the air the robber secured the money
and checks n left by the front door,
keeping us covered as he walked back
ward int the darkness.
Il could just as well as not have
sent him to the Kingdom come" the
manager said, and ..rl not sure |
should not have done so had | realized
it was the real thing and not a hoax.
Hereafter the man who robs this
store runs the risk of getting electric
light wires strung all through his sys-
TEN. l shan't think it fun any more
Amber declines to discuss the rob
berry, but is quite interested in the
matter, being anxious to know just
what is likely to happen to him. He
has been told at last what he was ar
rested for, and that the money and
checks have been recovered, n now
no doubt thinks there is going to be
something doing when his case comes
on for trial. One of the reasons he
had for asking a number of questions
was to get out of the officers the fact
that they had found the discriminating
checks, and that they were found
where it is certain he placed them.

JAPANESE GOVERNMENT BE
llEVES HE HAS RUSSIAN
GENERAL IN HOPE
LESS TRAP.
Most Careful and Elaborate Prepara-
tons Completed to Bring This
About, n Successful Issue Would
Make Peace Negotiations Easier
Witte May Be Chosen to Repre-
sent Russia at Washington.

Toxic, June l2.-Ambassador Girls
comb was in communication with
Washington this morning, but moth.
ing official has been given out, eX.
cepting the report from the American
embassy that peace negotiations are
progressing satisfactorily.
The government here gives no hint
today of what its positive demands
will be from Russia, but the people
and even the government are anxious
for one more battle on land, to take
place before an armistice is declared,
the feeling being that after that battle
negotiations will be easier.
1t is the firm conviction hat Oyama
has Linevitch in a hopeless trap. The
most careful INT elaborate prepare
tons to bring about the result have
been made, and they are now COM
pIeted. This victory over Linevitch
would mean the capture of Vladivo-
stok and the possession of the Great
Siberian railroad. Then would Japan
be really master Of the land as well
as the sea, and would have Russia at
her mercy. The government here,
therefore, will not agree to an armis-
tice unless assured that Russia is
quite serious in her determination to
end the war and will make reasonable
concessions.
1t is known that Japan expects an
indemnity of about $500. 600, 900, al
though it is probable 81 900, 900, 600
will be asked At the opening of nego-
tiations.

was fearful, and the loss to the sub.

of persons were caught in the block
ade of the trains and were Almost
smothered before they reached fresh
air, by wading through two feet of
water to the nearest station. Many
