A Killing Near Seddlia.

Monday, christmas day. three
negro boys and two white boys, of
Sedalia, went on days hunt, with
dogs and guns. AS they were re-
turning, and near home, they con-
cluded to have some fun and test
shooting, so one of the boys would
throw up an empty shell, and they
took time about shooting at the
empty shells. After practicing in
this way for awhile, one boy threw
up his cap. Clarence Rochester,
(white) held his gun, and in the
gun was shell upon which he had
snapped several times and it failed
to fire, and he again snapped it at
the cap as it was thrown up. Just
as he did so, William Thomas, Jr.,
a negro boy about IA years old, ran
in front of the gun. This time the
shell exploded, and the whole load
at short range went into the fore
head of Will Thomas, killing him
instantly, greatly to the alarm and

The coroner was Immediately noti-

who were present at the killing, all
testified as above related, and the
verdict of the jury was that William
Thomas, Jr., came to his death by
a gun shot wound, gun discharged
accidentally by Clarence Rochester.

had left Columbia with some game
cocks with the intention of having
q fight somewhere in York county.

Brown went down to see it. He
found the place, the men and the
birds and found it to be more than

Education in the United States.

According to the United States Com
missioner of Education, in his report
for the year ending June 80, 1904,
there are in the schools of the United
States 10, 1877, 918 school children. OF
these more than $4,000, 900, or 20. O4
per cent of the entire population OF
the country were enrolled in the public
schools. In 1870 the number of pupils
enrolled in the public schools was
6, 81, 522, or II. 80 per cent of the popu-
lation. In 1880 the percentage enroll
ed had increased to 1877 per cent of
the population. In 1890 the percentage
Of the total population was somewhat
larger than the present rate.
The average daily attendance for
1908 was II, 054, 500, which was 69.2
per cent of the total number enrolled.
This is the largest average attendance
ever reported in the United States.
Of the teachers employed in 1908,
seventy-four per cent were women.
The report shows that women are
rapidly supplanting men as school
teachers. In 1870 male teachers formed
nearly thirty-nine per cent of the
entire number; in 1880, nearly forty
three per cent; in 1890, thirty-four per
cent, and in 1908, tweny-six per cent.
The average--monthly wages of teach
ers in 1908 was $40. SO for men and
s40.51 for women. The report states
that the total amount of schooling
given to the average of population
has risen from eighty-two days in
1900 to 1,O34 days in 1908.
The total cost of the public school
system is given as 1881, 457, 625. This
is an increase of SIC, 900, 900 over the
previous year The enrolment in the
private schools for the year is given
as /, 093, S76. Since 1876, it is estimat-
ed, $3.50, 600, 600, has been expended in
the education of the colored children
in the former slave states.
These facts indicate, as no general
statement could do, the hold which
the public school has upon the life of
the youth of Amreica.
The people of no other nation are so
universally favored with the oppor-
tunity to secure an education. North

THE MARRIAGE QUESTION.

The professor who announced that love
and romance die out with the sound of the
wedding bells" was the first TO start the
ball rolling. II would seem brave wonaH
who rnarTies with this echo in her ears. yet
we have not heard that there were fewer
marriages during the year. There are un-
happy married lives, but large percentage
of these unhappy homes are due to the III
meas of the wife, mother or daughter.
During q long period Of practice, Doctor
Pierce found that a prescription made up
entirely Of roots and herbs, without the use
of alcohol, cured ninety-eight per cent of
such cases. After using this remedy for
many years in his private practice he put
it up in a form that can be had at any store
where medicines are handled.
Backed up by over third of a century Of
remarkable and uniform cures, a record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained, the proprietors and makers Of DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel
fully warranted in Offering to pay $500 in
legal money of the United States, for any
case of Leucorhea, Female Weakness, Pro-

not cure. All they ask is a fair and reason
