CARS LEAVE THE TRACK.
Spreading of Rails Is Cause No
One Hurt Only Brief Delay.

The train coming from Moscow to
Colfax Tuesday evening, when approach
ing Albion, left the track, by spreading
Of the rails, and, Of course, didn't pro
ceed any farther for the time being. In
fact, good luck was with the railway
people and the passengers all the way
through. as the three cars which com
posed the train did not turn over, con-
sequently no one was hurt and it was
comparatively an easy matter to get the
cars in place again. Quite number Of
passengers were aboard, including men,
women and babies, who were brought
here later in a box car, which was run
up for the purpose and was made neces
sary by the road being blocked. Some
Of the passengers, undoubtedly, enjoyed
the novel experience Of riding in box
car for the first time. The wrecking
train was sent out and by morning the
cars were on the track again and every
thing running smoothly.

man, as he got wind Of their coming
and started to leave the country.
All three young men have made a
clean breast Of everything and acknow-
ledge their shortcomings. 1t transpires
that they planned to hold up Mrs. Stin-
son when she opened her lunch counter
some morning, she doing so usually very
early, as she has few customers who
have to have an early breakfast. They
appear to have been going into the busi-
ness at rapid rate.
Maxwell is % years Of age and was
recently married. His parents live in
the north end OF town. The parents OF
the three young men have been to the
jail repeatedly to see them, and all are
deeply grieved over the trouble and dis
grace that has Overtaken them. The
boys have spent most Of their lives in
Colfax, their parents are respected citi-
zens, but It is plain the hOldup business
must be stopped if hearts are broken
and anguish follows. The young men
are old enough to know the dffprer CO
between right and wrong, and should
stand the consequences Of their evil do
ing. Idleness and evil associates is
probably one cause Of their downfall.

in the darkness. Mrs. Weitz stood near
by trembling, a witness to the whole
proceeding. An alarm was immediately
sounded, and City Marshal j. B. Mackay,
who was in the yards at the time,
promptly responded. From a descrip-

Of the crime, and the next day Sunday
were placed under arrest by City Mar

$2650 a year, or more than one per

words and loving deeds. Children are
moved by impulse and have not vet
learned sef-control. Temptations come
20 them suddenly and they have not the
strength to resist. The nervous child
can not sit still; the stubborn boy does
not see why he should obey the dull
girl tails to understand the simplest
statement; the mischevious child is
never idle. However, the successful
teacher will find way to reach them all.
Children are naturally restless, but
often q frequent change Of posture will
put things right. If seats are uncom-
Portable; if the room il too hot or too
cold; il the air is bad from imperfect
ventilation, the pupils can not give their
best attention.
Children should be made comfortable !;
lessons should be short, spirited, inter
'stlng, and the teacher should create
Ground them an atmosphere combined
with mercy, love and justice, ia which
they delight to dwell.
While it is important that good dis
cipline be observed in the school room.
It ls no less important that good gov
ernment be brought about on the play
ground. A place which is often sadly
neglected, yet no place more deserves the
ever guiding influence OF the teacher.
lt is here that many moral disorders
begin as tiny threads which, If allowed to
thrive, will strengthen and grow till they
become strong cords that tend to blight
the after life, no matter what may be
the intellectual development. Many ars
the evils that lurk in places where chill
oren play together under loose govern
ment or no government at all. How
many teachers control the playground
and 60 there with the children to teach
them true government in their sports?
The right teacher can exert an infiu-
ence that will tell years afterward in the
lives Of her pupils. By being present
there is less tendency among the pupils
to do wrong, and if such happens he has
the proper information for Furnishing
and thus preventing the same from oc-
curing again. Also he may BY tact
and example inspire the pupils toward
many little deeds Of kindness and a
cheerful disposition that are worth many
times the trouble.
In every enterprise there is great ad
vantage to be derived from forethought.
and perhaps nowhere is the advantage
greater than in the teaching profession.
Here the ounce Of prevention is worth
more than the pound Of cure, for many
times the tendency to DO wrong may be
detected and stamped out before the
fault is developed.
Yet after all in the final analysis the
vital element in good discipline is the
teacher. The lives Of the little ones re-
feet the character Of the teacher who
governs them. This being true we
should look well after our own prepara-
ton, both from a moral and from an
intellectual standpoint.
There is no greater calling than that
OF the primary teacher. To her are in
trusted the little plants from the house
hold and, :" as the twig is bent the tree
will grow"

Keep the Factories Going.

The early resumption OF the West
Virginia glass factories with the as
surrauces that operations will be con-
tinued in full and in several cases
with an increased capacity and larger
number OF workmen, is further and
substantial evidence of the prosperity
the people OF the Little Mountain
State are having under an able Re-
publican administration.
All those who want to keep the fac
tories running, the shops open and
the money in circulation should work
for continuation of those policies
that bring these things about. They
should vote for Taft and swisher, the
candidates of the party of prosperity
and not for Bryan and Bennett the
representatives of party that has
brought and undoubtedly would again
bring financial depression, suspension
Of industry and trade and scarcity
of money.
