A Communication.

For the last twenty. years we have
had good and efficient men in the Of
fee of County Superintendent who
have carried on the business of the
schools in satisfactory and capable
manner, and have kept the schools of
the county up to a high standard of
usefulness.
Yet it would seem that this idea Of
following in this footstep can be over
estimated. The Office of County Sup
erintendent is an executive position,
its duties are administrative in their
character and require not only me-
chanical effort but individual initia-
tive as we'll in which the character
and purpose of the occupant are al
ways manifest.
Suppose the head of a large store
were to die. Could it be urged that
one of the clerks should succeed him
in preference to man of higher edu-
cation in the business because the
clerk had a greater knowledge Of the
store and closer acquaintance with the
other clerks?
What is needed is not acquaintance
with the people one is to superintend,
which anyone can acquire in short
time, nor q mere desire to initiate, but.
as in the selection of County Super
intendent, we want the man who IS
best qualified in the line of business
he is to superintend.
The only man on the ticket who is
a college graduate. This man who IS
also we'll known throughout the coun-
ty for his sterling character and ex-
cellent ability. who has had seven
years of experience in teaching, and
who easily out ranks all others in his
educational equipment is-Mr. Francis
Bray, of Cassville. A VOTER.

Family Mileage Books.

Station Agent Rockwell received
5 family mileage books Saturday
and sold all of them IN less than "a
hours. He ordered more and has
disposed of about a dozen.
The books issued by the North
western are good only on the Chi
cago & Northwestern and the
Omaha roads in the state of Wis
consin. They will only be accepted
from the purchaser or any actual
member of the family, this not in
Guiding servants or Other employees
of the family.
The name of each member of the
family entitled to ride on the
tickets will be placed on the book
at the time of the sale. One or
more members of tho family may
use the ticket at the same time but
a separate strip must be signed and
torn from the book for each person.
Full mileage will be taken for each
child more than five years of age,
such mileage being signed by the
parent or guardian.
The cost of the zoo mile book is
$40 this making fiat rate of 2 cents
per mile and it is thought that this
will increase the amount of travel
on all roads considerably.

Attempts Murder and Suicide.

John M. Oswald made an attempt
yesterday morning to end the life of
Mrs. Martin Oswald and then drove
the deadly razor into his own
throat.
Mr.. Oswald came here from
Switzerland about two years ago
and has resided with the family OF
Martin Oswald, lately deceased,
since his arrival.
+ OF a modest, quiet nature he
formed but few acquaintance and
rarely if ever came up town from
the Oswald home in the fourth
ward.
Mrs. Oswald and daughters Nettie
and Mrs. Walter Webb were present
when the attempt was made yester-
day to take Mrs. Oswald's life. Mrs.
Oswald had informed Mr.. Oswald,
who is cousin of her deceased hus-
band, that they were going to close
the house for the summer and go
north to reside.
He appeared to take it as an IN
sult-thought they wished to be rid
of him in fact-and has broOded
over the matter ever since.
Yesterday morning while Mrs.
Oswald was preparing breakfast,
Mr.. Oswald appeared in the kitchen
and informed her that he was going
to leave. She asked him why he
was so hasty in departing, and he
replied, "You know why" and with
that drew a razor and made a slash
across her throat. He then drew
the blade across his own throat with
suicidal intent. Mrs. Oswald ran
from the room screaming, while he
dropped onto couch. The daugh-
tiers discovered the mothers d1lem-
ma and ran to the neighbOrs for
aid. Doctors we're summoned and
the sheriff's office was notified.
Undersheriff Calls au6 DR..
Doolittle hurried to the Oswald
home. Mr.. Oswald sat upon the
couch holding his head over towel
with the blood running from cash
in his throat that had went so far
as to sever his windpiDe. He was
given medical attention, then taken
to the county jail.
Mrs. Oswald narrowly escaped
death, for the razor blade just bare
ly missed the jugular vein. She
wore heavy sweater with the
collar up and this alone saved her
life.
+. Mr.. Oswald was evidently suf-
fering from fit of melancholia
when he attempted the awful deed,
and has offered no excuses for the
fiendly attack.
He will be examined for insanity
today. Mrs. Oswald at last reports
is recovering from her terrible ex-
perience.

his Will new era dawned on the
unhappy and distracted country.
Statesman that he was, he re-
cognized that the government, the
cause of order, the conditions OF
society demanded the restoration
and rehabilitation of the church.
Without, or with only faint religS-
ons convictions himself. Napoleon
recognized in the church. in it's
power and influence, a needed in
strumentality or an auxiliary to
further his ends. He naturally
realized that no state could long be
maintained, that no authority could
hope to be long respected unless
supported and sustained by religions
that without God and without res
pect for the eternal law no govern
ment, howsoever in other respects,
could long stand.
The revolution had confiscated
the possessions of the church and of
the religious orders. Religious rites
and ceremonies were suspended
throughout France, the bishops and
priests who had escaped death or
the prison were in exile or in hid
ing.
Napoleon set aside the interdicc,
the prisons were opened, the &C.
clesiastical exiles allowed to return.
Religion once more began timidly
to raise its head in France; bat the
situation was anomalous.
Napoleon had the Pope in his
power. He had the College Of
Cardinals under dures. He propos-
ed to restore the church in France
but the conditions of that restora-
ton must be dictated according to
mis- will and pleasure.

Rev. Hannaford spoke at the
Liberty schoolhouse on the temper
ance cause last evening.
When a woman wants to get
rid of her husband for an hour, she
sends him up stars to get some
thing from the pocket of her dress.
The senate has done a wise
thing in increasing the cost of con-
struction of the proposed state
capitol. It's best to have material
as good as can be obtained for so
fine building.
To be sure the department
stores tell you that if their goods
are not satisfactory you can return
them. Sure But yon have to pay
express or freight both ways and
you decide to keep them. If your
home merchants goods are not
satisfactory you take them back
and it costs you nothing.

The trade territory of town is
not all dependent upon the distance
TO neighboring trading points. The
trade territory depends upon the
enterprise of the merchants and the
residents of the town. If town

will come only as fast as it has to,
and it will grow as it is forced TO.
But if the merchants go after bust
ness IN the surrounding country,
advertising IN every possible way,
and making good every word of
their advertising, trade will come
from an everincreasing radius, the
town will gain a reputation for be-
ing awake and it will forge TO the
front. 1t is the men IN the town
and not altogether the men living
within n certain number OF miles
from it that makes the town.
