ing Mr.. Pipkin president and Mr..
Hinchey vice president. After the
routine business was disposed of,
the board proceeded to the election
of officers of the institution to fill
the places OF those whose ,eTms ex-
pire on the 1st of July, with the
following result: Assist Superin-
tendent, DR.. Frank Vernon of Mis-

MIR. Waters, the retiring Secre-
tary, is an efficient aud genial Off
cial, and he and Mrs. Waters have
made many friends in and around
Pennington during their stay here.
Mr.. Waters is publisher of the
New Madrid Missourian, and has
been faithful worker for the party
but in the Kaleidoscope changes in
public institutions under political
control another takes his place.
Prof. Moothart, who succeeds
Mr.. Waters as Secretary, is head
of the chain of Moothart Business
Colleges in Southeast Missouri,
and like Mr. Waters was an active
supporter of Gov. Folk, is n gentle
man OF genial social qualities, and
it goes without saying possesses all
the qualifications necessary.
Mr.. Highley, the outgoing Stew.
ard, has shown himself to be a
most excellent man for the place
and has filed the position to the
satisfaction of the Superintendent
and all connected with the institu-
ton. He will retire with the con-
seriousness of duties well performed
and the good will of all. Mr..
Highley and his estimable family
are held in the highest esteem here
at home.
| Mr.. Tuttle, who succeeds Mr..
Highley, is prominent and popu-
lar business man of De Soto, whose
excellent business qualifications
peculiarly fit him for steward of an

urer, who has held the position
since the founding of the Hospital,
i; man of the highest integrity
and christian character, enjoying
in the largest measure the esteem
and good will of the uhole board
and all who know him; a man
faithful and upright in all the
walks Of life, against whom no
word ofreproach could stand. His
successor hopes that he may be able
to retire at the close of his term
| with as good a record as that of his
long time friend, Mr.. Fleming.

Rat Traps.

It can be reasoned how person can be taken in by vendors of Gold Bricks" "Green Goods, Patent Churns," :" "Clothes Wringers, etc., but to be led into Patent Rat Trap" scheme by sweet singer from Edinboro, is beyond our comprehension. Yet such is the fact, the victim so caught in the trap being no less a parsonage than the senior of The Times.
 A few rats (not rat printers) infested the printing office, and ye senior men, tioned the nuisance in the presence of a few friends, when gentleman stepped forward and began to sing the merits of trap he had, which would exter- minate the whole tribe of rodents; he said he had seen as many as nineteen rats in one of these traps.
 The Colonel bit, and the next day the Sweet Singer of Edinboro' brought the ''cage, a magnificent af- fair in bronze wire, dome shaped, with two apartments, entrances and exits, trap doors and springs in profusion.
 The trap was baited and set, and the result awaited. One, two, three nights passed away, and still no cap ture, but it was noticed that the rats had left the premises. An examina- tion was made and it was found to be puzzle for anything to get into the trap, much less rat.
 The entrance to the trap is tunnel shaped, which leads into the first apartment, from which the rat is in duced by piece of cheese to step onto a nicely poised trap, which suddenly precipitates MT. Rat into parlor, as dainty as that to which the fly was invited by the spider, and from which there is no escape.
 The trap would be a success if rats could only be induced to enter. One of our printers, however, solved the puzzle by saying, that you must first catch the rat and then shove him into the trap.
 The trap, however, has seryel its end, for the rats have left the premi- ses, disgusted with their efforts to get into the cage.
 The Colonel has Patent Rat Trap for sale cheap for cash.
