There is a post hamlet in Cass
County, Missouri, with nothing pc
culiar about it except it's name, and
that Is Peculiar. It's origin, accord
ing to local traditions was as fol-
lows:
When the settlement had become
sufficiently populous to need a post
ofice,s one of the prominent citizens
sent sApetition to Washington to have
one Established. In due course the
petition was granted and he was ask
ed to suggest a name that would
please the people. Po replied, "The
people are not particular so long as
the name is peculiar"
Thereupon the postofice was
christened Peculiar, and the name
has never been changed.

Ballooning, delightful as It is in

and his companions, in the course
of their long fight, were fired at
thirty times by farmers. The bal
looms frightened their chick ems.
Some of the shots struck the Dal-
loon but did no damage because Of
the long range. Poultry even at
night seemed to have a sense of the
passage of the balloon, making an
outcry of alarm which could be heard
by the aeronauts. The moonlight
which prevailed during the race

shining on masses of clouds below

Sandy Hook Lightship VIII Disappear
 December 1.
 New York. Oct. 2S-On December the old Sandy rtook Lightship, which for half a century has marked the western end of the trans Atlantic voy- age. will be put out of existence and ths name will never again appear on the logs of steamers crossing the ocean.
 In place of the old ship will be an entirely new one and on its side will be painted the words: Ambrose Chan mel. |"
 The old laSdms rk. or rather seamark, will disappear, and the name that has most prominent in the annals of navi- gation, will disappear for ever. The original lightship was anchored in It's place more than fifty years ago, and the present vessel was put Into commits sion in 1892.
 When 1t was decided two years ago that the present ship would not last much longer, a new one was ordered and has now been completed.
 With the opening of the new Am prose channel, ships will not approach within three miles of Sandy Hook, and for that reason an unsentimental light house board has decided to substitute its name for the old and honored one of Sandy Hook.
 The board Is prepared for all sorts of protests from those who wish to cling to the old name. but has fully decided that navigators must use the new one. There will be no change In the lights or fog signals.

SHERMAN IN SARATOGA.
Fourteen Special Trains Take People to
 Hear Him.


 Saratoga, N. Y., Oct. 2S.-Fourteen special trains, over trolley and steam roads. throughout Saratoga County. brought many marching clubs here to- night to join in a big rally arranged for the Republican Vice President tial candidate, James Sherman, who spoke here.
 Despire a pouring rain, the clubs paraded through the business section of the town and cheered the candidate enthusiastically as he reviewed them from the steps of the Worden Hotel.
 MT. Sherman arrived here early to- night from New York city. He was met at Albany by delegation of local leaders who escorted him here. At Convention Hall he was given an ens thusiastic reception by an audience which filled the big auditorium.
 In his speech he reviewed the issues of the campaign, devoting most of nis argument to the tariff.
 Owing to the racing interests In Saratoga County, the contest here over the candidacy of Governor Hughes and for the Goyernorship. has been espe- cially keen and Mir. Sherman's remarks on that subject were given close atten- tion.
 When he praised the Governors ad- ministration and vigorously urged his reelection, his hearers cheered for several minutes.
 The speaker challenged MT. Bryan to declare his position before election day on the questions of silver and impe- riallsm, and other issues which De- mocracy's leader has exposed in the past.

BOARD PLANS : NIGHT SCHOOLS Demand for Such Instruc-
 ton Strong. DECISION PRACTICALLY MADE Matter Thrashed Out in Called
 Meeting. Aim to Teach Elementary Subjects, to Educate Foreigners in American Customs And Generally Bene-
 fit City Working Class.

Appointing a committee to ascer- tain what the prospects of enrollment are, and then themselves going into consultation to formulate plans, the members of the Board of Education and several citizens Wednesday night started definite plan of action for organizing a night school for Mont gomery.
 Of the Board of Education the fol- lowing members were present.: Presi- dent B. J. Baldwin, F. J. Meyer, G. w. Jones, A. D.. Sayre, J. L. Gaston and c. L. Floyd The citizens who attend ed were Messrs. G. G. Dave, Dr. B. c. c. L. Moritz and J. W. Johnson.
 The meeting was the result of an invitation from the Board of Educa- tion to citizens interested. to discuss plans for the forming of a night school to be supported by the city. the council having appropriated s3,00O for the purpose. The meeting was called to order by MT. Baldwin. President of the Board, who briefly stated the pur- pose of the conference and asked those present to make suggestions.
 Dr. B. c. Ehrenreich was first to speak, and briefly stated the situa- ton. He said the need of the school was evident, that several institutions In the city had tried the plan with Eebu1ISt anu hAO "OA-N showed an elimentary and higher course were the two most needed. The elementary for the benefit, es- pecially of foreigners. for many were coming to the city, anxious to learn American customs and ways. That before there is such mass of them here sticking to their mother tongues. as in the northeastern cities, 1t would be best to teach them English ana gradually assimilate them. The high CT course was suggested for the bene- fit of Americans and foreigners who had no other means of obtaining one.
 Many suggestions were made, but the matter was finally turned over to the Board of Education for the for mutation of a plan of action, and Dr. Ehrenreich. Captain odom of the Sal vation Army. and Professor Floyd were appointed a committee to look into the matter of enrolment, to in- vestigate conditions. and find out how many wanted to take advantage Of the opportunities offered by such a school.
 Ii was practically decidde before the meeting closed to have two schools. one In West End and the other cen trally located.
