Again we have the question of tb;xa
room for the Yerington school for ~.
term, and again we will attempt to SHOW,
you why 1t is so necessary.
BY noting our monthly reports for H.
school year nearly past you are acoua;r,
ed with our enrolment. We have men
toned before that last years census %
children of school age from this d;str;o.
was 70 as sent to State Superintendent,
but the average school attendance q,
this year has been from ninety tn o,a
hundred pupils.
This years census just ready To h.
submitted to the state gives 128 persons
of school age with possible increase bv
next school term.
Grown-up folks of today certa;p,r
realize what these children must con.
with to gain a desirable position in liz liz
yet why is ii we see so MANY who fail -
see the needs of the child until 4 i
too late. Your boy or girl goes to school
the nine or ten months here and then
often it is up to us to confess he i
scarcely much more advanced than he
was at the beginning of the year. Tn
much ill-feeling is brought about be.
cause this boy or our girl was not pro.
NOTED and probably her classnate re-.
ceived the capital p
Lincoln did not become president he.
cause Washington had been in that
office, nor did any of his successors for
that reason, but the little sentence N.
was capable assisted by the common
consent of the public puts the man in
that place.
In school it is but very little different
1t does not take the common consent Of
the public but if his years work is and
has been such that he can successfully
pass the prepared final. equal to one and
all, that boy or girl advances and we are
all proud of him.
Any piece of labor that is properly re-
quired of three persons cannot possibly
be properly done by two, hence you can
Judge the work to be done in our school
that has been omitted for this reason.
A properly conducted well-meaning
school means a school where pupil.
teacher and parent are all in unison and
working i'll harmony. You can not en-
courage your child in any way so much
as to come to the school and see him
work. He feels as though you do really
care something about his welfare and il
he is live child he will be inspired to
do better.
Now, public, help us give our school
the proper division and attentions and if
it doesn't advance him two-fold it will
be an exception the world over.

CAUSE OF LENOX
WRECK A MYSTERY

After the taking OF all the testi-
mony that could be secured, before
the coroner's jury in Lenox. the wreck
of Dec. 27 is rendered more myster-
ious than ever. So far as shown,
none Of the trainmen could have had
any reason for throwing open and
locking the switch which threw the
passenger train onto the siding and
caused it's collision with waiting
freight train.
It was shown that Brakeman Tyler
had been sent out TO flag a second
freight train which was coming, and
had ridden on ii past the switch on
the main line to second siding, the
switch being then safe. He returned
to his train and was talking TO the
engineers when the collision occurred
which caused his death and that of
four others None of the, surviving
trainmen would even hazard an opir-
ion as to who might have opened the
switch

.UNCANNY CHANGE
IN PICTURE OF
KILLED BOY
FACE DEVELOPS RED STAINS AT
POINT WHERE FREIGHT TRAIN
HIT HIM, CRUSHING OUT LIFE
FATHER WILL DESTROY 1T.

Residents of the western portion of
Delray are talking with wonder of the
peculiar change that has recently
come over the picture of dead boy.
Since Johnny Biddle was killed by
train, his portrait, hanging at the
home of his uncle. Thomas Biddle,
No. 303 Dearborn-ave, has changed
to show in rudy discoloration the
wounds that caused his death. The
coincidence is almost uncanny, and
Harry Biddle, the boys father, who
keeps a store on Dearborn-ave., will
have the picture destroyed.
Johnny Biddle was playing ball
near the tracks when he fell in run
ming backward oand was instantly kill
ed by fast train. His skull was
crushed across the forehead and there
were other injuries. His uncle,
Thomas Biddle. who is brakeman,
had thought a great deal OF the boy,
and had an enlarged picture of the
boy hanging in his bedroom. Some
time after the accident il was noticed
that the picture was changing in APP
pearance. gradually part of Ii began
TO turn red. The red is confined to
the head and neck OF the portrait and
has come in the exact spots where the
wounds were.
81 do not understand just how the
change has come" said Mrs. Biddle,
II think there mIst be defect IN
the glass that allows the air TO get 10
the picture. but | donot see why
only those parts should turn red.
The nicture is such q reminder of
the dreadful death of Johnny that his
father does not want To keep the pic
ture longer He will destroy this pic
ture and have another enlargement
made"

Curiously, enough. the friends who

happy returns were mostly members
OF the Republican city committee. and
they talked principally about the ac-
ton To be taken at the meeting OF that
committee Monday evening. Among
those present were Walter holster, Ed.

LONDON. Jan. 6.---According to the
Toxic correspondent of the Telegraph.
the elder statesmen are considering
the question of applying the Anglo
Japanese alliance to China so rs TO
solve various pending difficulties for
China's own sake
Russias participation in the prin-
ciple OF the Anglo-Japanese agree

Britain and japan does not remove al
cause for anxiety, and until China is
restored TO her normal condition
peace In the far east cannot be res

It is thought that England and japan

MAKES STRONG PLEA
FOR EQUAL SUFFRAGE

A strong argument in favor of equal
suffrage was made by Mrs. Anna How
ard Shaw, ID. D., in the First Unitar-
ian church, Sunday afternoon. her adj
dress bieng well received by a large
audience OF women. She expressed
her hope that sixteenth amendment
would soon be added TO the constitu.
ton OF the country giving women the
right TO vote.
Il am more than thankful that I am
not such an abject ninny as to be
satisfied with conditions as they exist
today" she said.
The treatment given male aliens
who are accorded citizenship and the
ballot readily, was contrasted with the
treatment given intelligent women
who are native-born. The greater
rights given women in political af-
fairs in other countries was also
brought out.
