GREAT HALLOWEEN TREAT
University Students Given a Royal
Good Time Halloween by the
Faculty Members.

"Wednesday evening at the college
hall the faculty members of the Uni
v~ersitY gave their annual Halloween
party for the students, and from 9
o'clock until after midnight almost
the entire student body enjoyed d
royal good time.
The guests entered by the east
door of the basement where they
were greeted by the glare of jack
o%'lanterns anG the most hideOus
noises which, together with the
human skeleton suspended from the
ceiling and the sheeted forms of
Celebus and Charon. made a very real
representation of the "CIossing of
the styX." After leaving their wraps
in the cloak rooms, the guests were
asked to walk backwards, up the
stairway TO the main hail. Having
enjoyed general good times here they
passed on through the office rooms
where the '~'wltches" aided them in
securing partners. On the second
floor the various amusemets were
provided III the different rooms and
the happy crowd enjoyed itself in
visiting the ''Chamber of Mirth,"
the "Den of the Fatal Witches" the
"Hospitabie lIaunts of the Has
Beens, and in trying the various
appropriate feats. such as diving for
apples, fishing for peanuts, baseball
in the dark, etc.
Dainty refreshments were served
and the crowd slowly found it's way
to the chapel room. where they were
entertained by DIR. Weir's stories and
songs 10y Prof. Griffin.
After all had reached the chapel,
Prof.. BrokaW's band marched in and
took its position on the platform.
Then followed a program that will
never be surpassed. The band con-
sisting of the faculty members, who
displayed their skill on such instru-
ments as combs covered with tissue
paper, tin cans with strings in the
bottoms. and wash tub drums, played
several popular airs and vas encored
again and again.
DR.. Nicholson told a ghost story
and when called back announced that
there would be no recitations the first
period Thursday morning, and of
course the applause was d%eafening.

sisting of Professors Gilliland, Spera.

: THINGS EDUCATIONAL.
BY E.. j. QUIGLEY.
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT

The town OF Mt. Vernon is organ
lzed rs an independent school district,
taking i'm for school purposes consid-
cradle surrounding territory. The
city of Mitchell and Ethan are SINH
larry organized. Such districts are
managed by a board of education of
not less than three members. Their
clerk and treasurer are not members
of the board. In cities of one thou
sand or less the county s%upernten-
dent has di1ect supervision. The
boards hold a meeting the last Fri
dav of each month and draw no sal.
AIRY. 1t would be a great advantage
to the rural schools if the school
board would bold monthly meetings
In the same way, at least while the
schools are in session. AS it now is
the school business in many districts
is conducted in a loose way.
The boards Of education of indie
pendfn mt districts have the power to
establish and maintain high schools.
Mitchell has a four years high
Soho curse. Mt. Vernon, a three
yeas course, and Ethan is just
about to organize one. Mt. Vernon
has tuilt an addition and installed a
heatilg and vantiiatiEg plant at a
cost of four thousand dollars.
Her huilding is now one of the most
conlslete and convenient six room
bull ings in the state. The people
hay good reason to feel proud Of the
bullCIng and their school. Ihe prin-
ciral, Prof. 9. e. Browne, has had
tWelly-seVen years experience liz
teaching, ten OF which have been in
this school. He was educated at an
eastern high school and the ID. W..
q. and holds a state certificate.
Plof. Browne is competent. thor
oGgi1, progressive and practical. He
seems to impart his W enthusiasm
to his classes, who show their re-
speci and appreciation by doing their
best. Miss Pearl Mallory, a graduate
OF the normal department of Angus
tana college, at Canton. assists in
high school work and teaches the
seventh and eighth grades. She has
had seven years experience and is a
COCO teacher. Miss Ruby Allen is
teaching her second year in this
school and is teaching the fifth and
sixth grades. She has taught four
years and she is an excellent teacher.
She was educated In the Mitchell
high school. Miss Marie Tremblay
is doing very nicely in the third and
fourth grades. She was graduated
from an eastern high school and at
tended the summer school at D..
w. y. She has taught five years.
Miss Charlotte Williams has taught
the first and second grades the past
four years very successfully. She
has all the peculiar ways of the pri-
mary teacher Of endearing herself to
the little ones. She was graduated
from the Mt. Vernon high school.

A red or swollen eye is cured by hav-

a door. A remedy which I have seen
applied with considerable effect in more

bunch of keys in the palm Of the suffer-

passes away as readily if the keys are
placed on the head. A rather quaint
remedy in the case of a sprained neck
is to use an iron measure for a pillow.
Sore throat is cured by splitting on

AN ACCIDENTAL DROWNING
John Poscy Was Drowned Accident
ally in Pond OF Water East of
Milwaukee Roundhouse.

Sunday evening, between 9 aud
10 80 O'Clock John posey was drowned
Ia the pond of water east of the
Milwaukee roundhouse, ana his
llody was recovered Monday morning
about 9 O'Clock. He leaves "A wife
relatives in the city. He was about
b Years of age.
Sunday evening, Mr.. Posey with
his wife and brother and his wife
returned to tile home of their father
on the south side and some distance
east OF the Milwaukee roundhouse.
After talking a short time he stated
that lie was going over 70 town to
see A. M. Perry where he vas to
worh today. and that he would re-
turn in a short time, leaving the
house about 9 80. TO avoid walking
away around by Sanborn street MI.
PoseY had an old boat that he used
to row across The pond of water and
he attempted 10 cross on this occa-
sion. The hoat is manipulated with
| a paddle and leaks more or less. 1t
is the supposition that when part
way across that lie in SOME way
lost his balance and fell iii.
AS he did not return home, Henry
Posey and Rem Ellsworth started
out to look for min and in walking
along the bauk of the pond they
saw in the moonlight the boat in
the water and partially filled from
lea>ing. On coming owe TO town
they met Policemen Tremaine and
Pattison aud asked if they had
| seen Mr.. posey, hut neither had seen
him during the evening. They
walked on out to Mr.. perry's place
east of town and discovered that he
had not heen thcie. On returning
LEGATIONS they discovered Johns; hat
floating ON tie water, and then the
evidence was plain what had be-
come of him They informed the
policemen and they secured a seine
and some hook poles from the the
department and went to the point
where the man..is supposed TO have
fallen in the water. They worked
until The moon went down and then
desisted until morning. All the time
they we're searching above the Dam,
but after daylight they went below
and continued the search. About 9
o'clock they found the body 40 feet
below the dam and about 30 feet
from the south shore, in 10 feet OF
water. The wafer above the dam
varies i'm depth from 5 to 10 feet.
Just bow the accident happened
can only be surnised, and that is
that Mr.. Posey fell from the boat as
he was making a move or perhaps
the boat lurched sufficient while he
was padding with a board to make
him lose bis balance. He has been
i'm the haiti of crossing the pond in
the boat and bias done it several
times before.
The body was removed to his
fathers house and it was indeed
a sad homecoming to the wife and
the relatives.
Conductor Hastings, of the Mill
waukee road, stated that he was
standing in the door of his cahoose
between $50 and 10 o'clock Sunday
evening when he heard a mans voice
calling as il in distress, but an n
CINE bumped into the cahoose at that
moment and he paid no further
attention to it.

QUESTIONS FOR KELSEY
Kelsey's Attitude in the Campaign
is Not in Harmony With the
Charpes He Makoc
Charges He Makes.

Mr.. A. B. Kelsey seems to be pro.
pounding questions to some of the
citizens of the county in a circular
letter that he is distributing among
the voters of Dawson county. He
seems to be dreaming about some
combinations that he imagines were
put up against him. Since Mr.. KEEL
|sey is so desirouS of enlightening the
public as to pre-convention matters
we would like to ask Mr.. Kelsey if
it isn't a fact that he called at Mr..
Wells office several times to get MI.
Wells to intercede with Geo a..
Miner and try to get him to work
with Kelsey, Mr.. Kelsey stating
that Lis fight and Miners were
identical, that Mr.. Wells refused to
say anything to Mr.. Miner, stating
that he dia not believe in candidates
combining to run a campaign and
that Mr.. Miner was running his own
canvas for the nomination.. Is 1T
not a fact that there were Others
present in Mr.. Wells office when you
and he were talking who heard the
above conversation? Is it not a fact
that Mr.. Wells told you that he was
for Mr.. Miner; that he and Mr..
Miner had been n%eigllbors Tor years
and that he and Mr.. Miner bad
worked together for the republican
party dll this time?
Is 1T not a fact, MIR. Kesley, that
you worked hard fol a secret ballot
in the convention and that there
were mo objections raised by the
convention to the secret ballot?
Is it not a fact that you thought
you would get more delegates for
yourself through a secret ballot than
a ballot by roll call?
Is it not a fact, Mr.. Kelsey, that
i; you had ueen nominated by the
republican convention that you
would have thought it was a fine and
fair convention, or would you have
Withdrawn from the ticket and run
independent as you are now doing?
is it not a fact that you combined
with Mr.. Erion to defeat the NOM
nation of Mr.. Drake for house
member?
Is it not a fact that you tried to
form a combine with Geo. II. Miner
for you and Mr.. Miner to work to-
aether, according to your own cir
cu1ar letter? Is it not a fact. that
you mad the statement that if
elected that YOU would run the Office
for the first terln without clerk hire
but you would not agree to do it
after that?
Is il not d fact that you tried to
make combinations with several
different candidates to further your
own interests in trying to get the
nomination.?
Is 1T not a fact. from your own
Standpoint and admissions il your
circular letter, that combinations
are all right provided you are a party
to the combine?
Is it not a fact that you have been
driving throughout the county try
ing to poison the minds OF the voters
against some OF the best citizens of
Mitchell and particularly some of
the candidates on the republican
ticket?
Is it not a fact that Nose Farrow,
of Lisbon township, (while tile county
convention Vas in SESSION. called
upon you and other candidates to
state their position as to the clerk
hire proposition and that you failed
to respond?
Will YOU explain, Mr.. Kelsey, WHY

DON'T QUARREL

Life is too short for quarrels.
Keep away from peoples pet abom-

can possibly help it. One quarrelsome
member of a household can poison the

There is no pain equal to that Of be-
ing unable to forgive because it is too
late. 1t is only ugly, stubborn pride
that keeps you from asking or granting
forgiveness.
