Last Day Of the Great Contest
 For Monty and His Turnout.
The last day.

The last day.
 .sMonty's" future will be decided to- , night at 8 o'clock. Some contemplating boy or girl will get the finest pony and turnout that has ever been brought to Montgomery.
 The contest will close by the Post office clock. When the hands mark 8 o'clock, all will be over. By that time each contestant must have his votes in the hands of the contest manager. Votes brought in after that hour will not be counted.
 The pony and cart will be publicly presented to the fortunate winner Fri day at the State Fair Friday Is Chils drenss and Monty" Day. and the prin- cipal exercise of the day will be the formal presentation of the pony and cart to the winner.
 The final days of the contest have been filled with enthusiastic work by the contestants. It has been a close race all the way through, and now it is so close that the Contest Manager, the \ only man who knows the exact vote of each contestant, could not possibly tell who will win the prize. Nobody can tell until the votes are counted tonight after o'clock, when the contest closes. known outside the mind of the Contest Manager until Monty" Is given away before all the people at the State Fair. Master Clarence Arnold Smith, whose name has been a factor in the race since it started, contributes the fo3ow- ing selected verse on the contest: srnrose that some boys have a pony. And some a coach and pair, Will it tire you less while walking To say, Tt isn't fatrr And wouldn't 1t be nobler TO keep your temper sweet And in your heart be thankful You can walk upon your rect Phoebe Cary.

 Decide to Meet Here.
 The first business before the con- ference was the consideration of a
  tional convention. On behalf of the city of Montgomery. the educators were invited to meet here. Cordial in- vitations were extended by F. P. Chaf- fee, who spoke for Capt. A. c. Forbes. President of the Commercial Club; also by Superintendent Floyd of this city. and by Geosge W. Jones of the local Board of Education, and by State Superintendent Gunnels and W. F. Fea- gin of the educational department.
 All said that Montgomery would ex- ert every effort to make the gathering pleasant and to make 1t a success from every standpoint. The invitations were pressing and cordial. The con ference overwhelmingly endorsed Montgomery.

Charter and held that the appropria- tions might not properly be made un- til the reports of the city officers, showing disbursements and receipts the municipal assets and liabilities, should be received by the ouncil. The total after various amendments, was $311. .00v.
 MT. Tyson said that the Council, without having knowledge of the prob able receipts and the probable dis bursements of the city during the next year, could not legally adopt the or dinance making the appropriation. He : said that prohibition might deprive the city of many thousands of dollars of revenue and the Council ought to await the reception of the reports so as to have as much information as possible.
 Mr Moritz ands President Gunter said that the Council, in a report pre- yiously received, had knowledge of the probable expenses and resources of the municipality. and that the appropria- tion was not necessarily for a year but for immediate expenses.
 Finally the ordinance was adopted. only Alderman Tyson voting nay. It carries the following appropriations:

BODY ORDERED tXHUhED
Real Cause of Death of L. H. Per-
kins May Be Established and
Controversy Settled.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 14.-Judge Smith
Mcpherson, sitting in the federal court
here, tonight ordered the body of the
late L. H. Perkins of Lawrence ex-
humed. His decision was in effect as
follows:
1.-THE marshal of this court is direct
ed to take charge of the matter of ex-
huming the body of the late L. H Per-
kins The work shall be done and an
autopsy performed under the direction
of an eminent pathologist and an emf
nent chamist, to be selected by agree
ment by the attorneys for the plaintiff
and for the defense.
In case these gentlemen do not
agree, or in case either side declines to
cooperate in the matter, then this
court will name patholOgist and a
chemist to direct the work. The mar
shall shall see that the work is done
in q seemly manner"
In directing the disinterment and eX-
animation by the board, Judge McPher-
son expressly stated that the court held
no views regarding the cause of the
death of Mr.. Perkins, but was max
ing the order so that the truth might
be known and the question settled once
and for all. Judge Mcpherson added
that the court had plenty of power tC
see that the order was enforced.

HOMEMADE DEFINITIONS.
Cache County Applicants for School
Teachers Submit Some Queer
Papers and Answers.

Logan, Sept. 1.-Some funny things
usually crop out in the examination of
applicants for the position of teacher in
the district schools, but superintendent
J. L. McCarrey, of this county. encoun-
tered some of the funniest things that
have ever fallen his way in going over
the examination papers of some of the
applicants this year. Some of the papers
in their entirety are valuable contribu-
lions to current humorous literature, al
though they were submitted in all SER
iousness.
One young lady, in answering a histoT-
ical question wrote: THE war of 1872
broke up the union of colonies and
brought on a bad money circulation"
She seemed to be considerably mixed as
to matters of history for In treating of
Columbus she had this to say; Column
bus was a Danishman who discovered
some very nice Islands in the Atlantic
ocean," In her nature studies she
seemed to be i'm almost as much of a
quandary, for she described the poison
ivy as "a plant which runs along the
ground and climbs whenever it gets a
chance" while the following reference
was made 10 the cooling moth: Cod
ling moths live in posts and the sills of
buildings. and destroy houses. If a tree
is infected with cOdiing moth it is q
goner."
Greenwich is a city in Greenland. "
another aspirant wrote and then sup
plemented it with the information that
Lewis and Clark went up the MISSISSIPPI
pi and down the Missouri and took the
land in the name of the king"
Asked to define smile. young man
who was DESTROYS of becoming a peda-
gogue, submitted this: "A simile is a
smile or pleasant expression made on the
lips, to express corresponding express
sion on the SOUL
Meditation was defined as ''the way we
hold our body" and the request for a
compound sentence elected this: 1.-The
horse kicked John and Mary got mar
ried. ~
There were some questions as to teach
ing writing and one little maiden unbur-
dened herself of the following wisdom
relative thereto: IF students are allow
ed to do careless work they can't get
speed that is legible- Scribbling makes
poor writers, d lawyer is a good example
of the theory applied to an adult. Dur
ing the writing lesson the teacher should
be before the class and show them how
to write in the air-shOUld have them
close their eyes and see the letters
All these quotations were copied from
the examination papers.
