MISS BROWNLEE CONVINCING
Toledo Principal Again Lays Her
Child Training Methods Before
Omaha Teachers.

Miss Jane Brownlee, principal Of the
Lagrange school, Toledo, o., brought a
wonderful message to the teachers Of
Omaha yesterday afternoon. The teachers
assembled at .. m. in the lecture room
on the fifth floor of the city hall. Miss
Brownlee's talk was wonderful in that it
was so convincing in its simplicity and
practicability. Her system of child train
ing has been successfully used in her own
school She reasons that the teacher must
live what she would have her scholars be-
and through suggestion influence the sub
jective mind of the children along ways
that will make for good citizens when they
have grown up,
THE kind Of children we are helping to
make should make us think seriously"
said Miss Brownlee. I'VE are responsible
for the kind Of development we are max
ing. but cannot be held responsible for
the manner in which the children as
simulate our teachings any more than we
could be held responsible for the manner
in which they assimilate their food. The
child has a spirit, mind and body through
which It operates. The mind is divided
into a subjective mind and objective mind,
the child mind being subjective. The child's
objective mind is dormant while the sub
suggest to the chiid's subjective conscious
ness The child is amenable to suggestion,
and It is important that teachers know
that tho suggestive mind of the child can
be controlled by suggestion. Teachers can
suggest polse and self-control to the child
where he might suggest other things by
cross words and harsh treatment.
you cannot deceive a little child, for
he has intuition and can read you. Hence,
TO have the proper influence on the child
you should live and suggest constructive
thoughts. such as those Of love, kindness
and cheerfulness. Constructive thoughts
create healthful lives.
Teachers should have patience and self
control themselves Our plan Of thought
power in relation to the training of the
child does not make saints, but does make
the work of teachers easier and pleasanter
and enables teachers TO reach the higher
self of the child"
Miss Brownlee gave little running IL
Illustrations from real life to show the eff
fects Of her plan on children.

COAL TRUST LOSES AGAIN
Makes Futile Attempt to Have Court
Quash the IndiotmSHt
THIRD MOVE WILL BE THE DEMURRER
DefeHue Argued Charge was. In
DEFINITE, hut Court Thought Il
Was Clear Enough TO
he Seen.

County Attorney slabaugh managed to
get over the second objection IN the Coal
trust hurdle race yesterday and is now
ready for the third one Judge Sutton, hav7
Ing decreed against the motion to delay
the trial-until slabaugh's term ended, yes
terday overruled the motion Of the defense
to quash the indictment, and now the de-
tense will make its third technical attack
by filing demurrer to the petition.
Judge Sutton overruled the motion to
quash the indictments at o'clock Tues
day afternoon after listening to arguments
from counsel the entire day He held the
different counts in the indictment we're suf-
ficiently definite and clear and did not com
bine more than one offense The principal
offense charged, he said, was a combina-
ton in restraint OF trade. The other allie
cations were merely as to the methods Of
carrying out this combination and did not
constitute "dupllcity," which the lawyers
for the defense asserted constituted a ia
tai defect.
The trial Of the case was expected to
begin Wednesday, but the attorneys for the
Coal exchange announced they would file a
demurrer to the petition Wednesday morn
ing. This will have to be disposed Of and
will probably require the entire day The
demurrer will allege the facts complained
of in the indictment do not constitute an
offense under the statute.
On the Firing Line.
The preliminary skirmsh in the criminal
case against members of the alleged coal
trust began Tuesday morning before Judge
Sutton when the motion TO quash the m
d!ctment was brought up for disposition.
w. J. Connell and J. F. Stout appeared
for the Coal exchange and on the other
side OF the table were County Attorney Sla-
baugh and Deputies Murdoch and Shot
well. The table was piled high with law
books to be used in citations Of authority
either to sustain or defend the attack OF
the validity Of the Indictment.
Behind the lawyers sat a row OF pros
porous appearing business men, defendants
in the case. over score OF them were in
court watching the proceedings with great
interest. s. e. Howell, president Of the
Coal exchange, whose case will be the
first to come Up for trial in case the in
dictment is held good. sat just behind his
attorneys.
Mr.. Connell attacked every one Of the
nine counts in the indictment, declaring
they were bad for "duplicity" and be-
cause they were not sufficiently definite.
He asserted each of tine counts charges
more than one offense under the law and
was so worded the defendants cannot tell
exactly what they are to plead to. The
discussion was OF technical nature and
Mr. Cornell went into details in his review
of the law in the case.

lantic Monthly. is the first attempt to pre-
sent in book OF moderate compass a full
biographical and critical study Of the most
unique parsonage in American literature
No American author has been praised or
condemned so unreservedly as Walt Whit

portray the man and the poet with sympa-

period Of Whitmans mind and STYLE and
to his relations with preceding American
and European literature. Some episodes Of
his career are here told for the first time
Several Of Whitman's most valued CORE

his letters at Mr.. Perry's disposal, and the
book thus contains not only new biographi-
cal material, but many hitherto imprinted
letters illustrating the singular history OF
Whitman's literary reputation. Published

Points of \ Good Horse.

Here are some good suggestions from
Canadian bulletin, giving the points oi
a good reliable horse:
s'If a horse is short-ribbed he is light
in his middle aud is nearly always
poor feeder.
"A light centered horse seldom
weighs well, and weight in draft horse
il il comes from bone, sinew and muscle
goes long way to determine his com
mercial value.
"a stallion whose feet are contracted
and brittle and whose hooks are puff!
and fieshy-looking should be avoided
as such hooks are generally associated
with coarseness throughout his whole
conformation and general lack o
quality.
"When a horse is we'll coupled to
gether on top and has short back, n
must have the length below from tn
point of the shoulder to the back OF TIT
thigh. When so built he will stand tn
strain of drawing heavy loads mucl
better than if he has a long, loos
back.
"The front feot and hooks are tn
parts of either draft or driving hors
that come directly in contact with har'
work. and unless they are sound ant
good a horses usefulness will be YER
much impaired and his commercia
value very much lessened."
