that Mr.. Bennett had remained there
that night. Otherwise had they slept

KILLED BY THE TRAIN.
Leonard Stopper fleets a FrightfuI
Death at a Railroad Crossing.

Monday evening at about 1880, Leon
ard Stopper, a thrifty German farmer,
residing near Stuttgart was struck by
the engine OF a Rock Island extra at
the crossing just east of that town re-
ceiving injuries from which he died
within two hours.
Mr.. Stopper had gone to Stuttgart
on business and was just returning to
his home. An engine which had left
the train was backing into Phillips
burg. A caboose had been attached
to the front end of the engine and no
light was visible hence Mr.. Stopper
was not aware of its approach.
Neither did the train men notice him
and as the tender struck the buggy
the engine gave its warning whistle
but too late. Mr. Stopper was carried
or thrown down the track distance
OF about thirty yards and the front of
his head was badly bruised and crush
ed, besides other dangerous injuries.
The unfortunate man was brought to
this city in order to receive medical
attention and taken to the home Of
his daughter, Mrs. Elder, but death
resulted before he reached the house.
The buggy was completely demolished
but the horse escaped uninjured.
Mr.. Stopper has resided in Mound
township for a number of years, has
been industrious and enjoyed reason
able degree of prosperity. He has al
ways been one Of the prominent MEM

Educational Notes.

Teachers should regard quality and
not quantity of work in school. Some
Of our teachers are trying to see
how many pages In the text book can
be covered in the term without due
regard to thOroughness OF work.
The course of study is the property
Of the school district and should be
delivered to the clerk.
Term reports must be made out cor
rectly and Immediately after the
school has closed. Send one to the
superintendent and deliver the other
to the district clerk.
Character building and the develop
mel of noble manhood and woman
hood should receive as much attention
as arithmetic, grammar or any other
study. ILL.,.
The refining, uplifting influence of
ohe teacher is as effective In teaching
morality as daily recitations in NOR
ais and manners.
Care should be exercised In arrang-
ing the program that the proper pro-
portionate amount of work be given
each grade and the proper length of
time be given for each recitation.
The fact that pupils are often dull
and Indifferent can sometimes be
traced to overheated school rooms and
insufficient ventilation.
Some schools need a general scrub.
bling and cleaning up. Not only the
school rooms but in some instances
the pupils too.
A good dictionary is indispensable In
every school room. Several districts
are yet without dictionaries.
The best work In our rural schools
Is done under reasonable graduation
and a reasonably close following of the
course Of study.
The pupil should be taught to rely
on himself. DO not tell him too much
so that he will rely on you To do his
work for hlm-nor tell him too little
that he may think you are not inter-
ested in him, but by good methods
and Judgment lead him up to a knowl-
edge OF the subject 10 such away that
he must do the work himself and I'M
derstands what he has done.
AcIoSer supervision Of the work will
be undertaken next year In order that
their work may be more uniform and
the superintendent may be better en-
abled TO know the individual work Of
each teacher.

They Are Buying Land in Kansas.

They are after land Ia Kansas,
They are coming with the cash,
There is no use talking, neighbor,
Kansas land has made a mash
On the people Of this country
And it's now in hot demand,
Mines of gold and seams Of silver
Hardly rank with Kansas land.
They are after land in Kansas,
From the East and from the West
Comes a steady rush of people
Who are looking for the BEST;
And they take a Squint at Kansas,
And as quickly as they can
They get action on their money
And it's sure a winning plan.
For the man who wants TO purchase
Title IT, Kansas place
Must get to the front aud hustle
Or he'll lose out in the race.
Every day the rates are rising,
And the man who wants to buy
Should trot out his iron dollars,
Ere the prices strike the sky.

BY MRS. FANNIE WHITNEY.


The Spring Creek Union, W. G. T.
U. met with Mrs. Whitney on the
second as advertised, had very sue
cessful meeting, were glad to see some
of our friends as visitors, thanks for
their sympathy and cooperation.
Your correspondent was visiting In
Agra last week, and found the union
there in active service. A strong tenn
perance sentiment still prevails In
the town, we hope to see q good man
put In as mayor at their election, In
the near future.

CHAIN POSTAL CARD.
AS the chain postal card purportinR
to further a movement looking to a
national anti-cigarette law is always
coming into the hands Of good people
to whom it appeals itself as an easy
way to help rid the country of a curse,
but who do not stop to study the mat
ter, 1t becomes necessary to repeat a
warning that has been sounded over
and over by W. G. T U. papers.
This nuisance has been abroad In
the land for five or six years-the very
same, sometimes card, sometimes a
letter, but the very same. 1t tells
you "a mammoth petition is being
prepared for congress, in favor Of a
national law, ETC." Thinking to help
along good cause, you commit your
name to society or firm you never
heard of before. Said "head" to the
movement has had as many as a dozen
names and on the most. thorough In
vestigation, has been found to be a
fraud. No such society is found at the
address given. The cards 20 by thou
sands to the dead letter office. You
are not signing petition, you trust
the society" to do that for you and
they never have; but what other use
they may make of your name is worth
thinking about. Have nothing to do
with the scheme. Save your money
and time for something reasonable.
One who was on The ground, speak
ing Of the defeated suffrage bill says,
Several members of the house spoke
earnestly In favor OF full suffrage for
women. Some discourteous remarks
we're made, bnt there was less said
that was offensive than there was two
years ago. The senate treated the
women with less courtesy, declined to
bring it before committee Of The

cussed, but instead, seeing It's oppor-
tunity tO do 50 when very lev women

NEWSPAPER MEN WON.

Meridian Republican, happened
that in the course Of their work some
Of the reporters on New Haven pa
pers found it necessary to consult the
files on record in the Office of the clerk
Of the superior court.
The gentleman who holds sway over
this particular department OF affairs
failed to see why the knights of the
quill should have the right to satisfy
their curiosity. 1t mattered nothing
t., him that they claimed they were
only pursuing their business; that
there was a connecting link between
the public and the records, and that
they had a right to consult them.
Clerk Anketell positively refused
the newspaper mems request. The
young men who endeavor to keep
their finger on the pulse of the public
resented this high-handed and unwar-
ranted action of the gentleman who
held the key TO the situation and took
an appeal to Judge Ralph Wheeler
who has decided that the documents
to which the reporters desired access
are public property and that the clerk
exceeded his authority when he re
fused to produce the files desired.
It is difficult to see how any just
authority could render any other deci-
sion than that given by Judge Wheel
err, who has a reputation for fairmind-
edness. The request of the reporters
was entirely reasonable. Every argu-
ment for justice was on their side,
and it would have been decided blow
to benefits derived from publicity had
verdict been rendered against the
reporters.
Meriden has experienced the at
tempt on the part Of certain officials
to hit the public through the represen-
tatives of the press, by denying to the
latter examination of papers which
rlghtfully belonged to them. 1t has in
variably happened that such schemes
have brougt upon the heads of the
promoters the anathemas of the pub

Eve:
"Dost love me? Answer! answer, or
| die!"
Not SOL" she said, with instinct to
deceive
Then downward glanced, and blush
ed from No to Aye.
''Dost love me, love me?" And denial
failed,
With loves first kiss.-"Be sure
love thee. May,
Not sure was he: with sharper doubt
he walled,
"Dost love me, love me?"-Tlll,
upon day,
Suspecting him by vaster thoughts be-
guiled,
Quoth she, more softly than the
widowed bird,
"Dost love me, Adam?" And his
quick ears heard:
With half sigh, and half yawn, he
smiled,
AS one convinced: and thence
forth, DER and DER,
Answered the Transformation he
asked no more.
