TEACH ERS' MEETING G
Monday and Tuesday, August % and
"a, at Montgomery City.

Montgomery City, Aug. II, 1909.
To school boards, teachers and
patrons
District clerks have been ask
ing me II | desire some special
form OF teachers register to be
used, and 1 take this means of
saying that under the require
ments of the new law it will be
very much better to have a uni
form register in the entire coun-
ty. At the County Super.ntend-
ents' Convention at Jefferson City
last week, Welch's System OF Close
Supervision was selected as the
most satisfactory. l will have a
sample OF this register at our
teachers meeting next week, and
expect to make arrangements by
which each district or teacher may
be supplied with this register at
the lowest possible cost.
/ wish to urge you again to
thoroughly clean up the school
house and grounds before school
begins. Be sure and see that you
have good, pure drinking water.
There is much danger of sickness
from drinking impure water, and
you can not be too careful about
this matter.
The revised law makes it COM
pulsory for pupils between the
ages OF and IA to attend school
at least three-fourths of the time;
also between the ages of IA and
16, unless such children are reg
ularly or lawfully employed. 1t is
the constitutional right OF every
child in the state to have an ed
ucation, and I trust parents and
guardians will see that their chill
dren have the benefit of this right
without compulsion.
The time is past when We can
live a successful life without some
form of an education. The best
thing a parent can possibly do
for his child is to educate him. 1
would impress upon you the i'm
portance OF starting pupils the
first day of school and keeping
them in school every day. Time
passes and life is short enough,
at best; SO let US prepare the chill
dren for full and complete living,
that life may mean the most pos
sible to them. Let us, as teach
ers, ever hold in mind that the
child is the center of all educa-
ton, and that his training and de-
velopment is the supreme duty of
the teacher. Resp'y,
w. F. Hupe, Co. Sup't.

LAW ON HUNTERS LICENSES
Prosecuting ATTORNEY John v. Nebel
Gives an Opinion on the New Law

The question has been asked me
the last few days il the hunters
licenses, issued under the old game
and fish law of 1907, were good
under the present law which went
into effect Aug. 16, 1909.
My answer to all is that In my
opinion your licenses are void,
having died with the old law. We
are not working under the old law
in an amended form, but under an
entirely new and different law. 1t
is immaterial that the old law was
repealed by the new law or wheth-
er the old law had been repealed
a month earlier than the date at
which the new game and fish law
went into effect.
Again, Sec. 81 of the new law
reads: "It shall be unlawful for
any person, after the passage of
this act to hunt in this state with
out first obtaining license. Such
license shall be dated when issued
and shall authorize the person
named therein to hunt during the
calendar year of issue only"
In Sec. 64 we find the following
language: "Any person who shall
hunt in this state without being
at the time of such hunting in
possession of license, as herein
provided, shall be fined not less
than $25 nor more than $780,"
In View of this and other Sec
tions which I haven't room to cite
here, / take the law to be that
all licenses issued by Everett Bar
ton as circuit clerk, on white pa
per and under the law OF 1907, are
void and of no effect; and advise
all who want to hunt, other than
on your own or leased land, to
procure a license. All resident Ii
censes are on yellow paper and
are issued by E. w. Hunter, coun-
| ty clerk. Yours truly,

FERTILE LANDS AT LOW PRICES
Western Kansas and Eastern Colorado
Land Within the Reach of All.

AS the country becomes more
thickly populated, and the prices
of really good farm land continue
to go higher, it becomes necessa-
ry for men of moderate means,
who desire to own a farm of their
own, to follow the course of en-
pire, which it is said takes it's
way westward.
Perhaps there is no more desir-
aole land, at a low price, than
can. be found in western Kansas
and Eastern Colorado. Realizing
that there was demand for such
land, Mr.. w. r. Pennington Of
this city made an extended 3usi-
ness trip to that part of the coun-
try during July and personally
investigated the land that was to
be had at a reasonable price. He
finally decided that the soil, cli-
mate and ABUNDANT water supply,
taken in consideration with the
price. made the land about Syr+
acuse, Kansas, and Towner, Colo
RADIO, ABOUT the best proposition
to offerto farmers and home-
seekers that could De found.
The firm OF Pennington & Jones
OF this city now are in a position
to offer the public 100000 acres
of fine, rich, fertile land, deep
sold, at the very low price of
$3.50 per acre, in tracts of 100
acres or more. The land is a choc-
olate loan, So inches deep, and
will produce as large crops of
wheat. corn, etc., as the oottom
lands OF this state. 1t also pro-
duces three crops of alfalfa a
kseason and is particularly we'll
adapted to the production of po-
tatoes and vegetables. An abun-
dance of pure, soft water is found
at a depth of ABOUT IS feet. The
annual rainfall is about the same
as in Missouri. Ii you are looking
for location and want to ouy

land.

WHO THE RINGERS ARE.
DennisonUa) Bulletin. July sS, 1909.

In the afternoon came the Royal Eng
lish Bell Ringers, the'most expensive and
grand musical feature of the course.
Eight members OF this company handled
something like 200 bells. and the soft and
seductive music is beyond all description.
The company also has some rarely good
vocalists. People were greatly interested
In these bells and In the performers.
This company, with one exception, are
factory operatives working In the woolen
mills in the village Of Horberry, York
shire, England. Handbell ringing has its
home in the north Of England and there
Is keen competition among the different
town and village bands for supremacy in
their annual contests. This company
has won the blue ribbon nine times in the
last twelve years. The leader is teacher
of music, carrying as he does the title of
+. G. @. M.-Fellow Of the Guild of Church
Music. The performer who swings the
large bells wears medal given him for
service in the Boer war. With the medal
are bars for service at the relief of Lady
smith, Tugela Heights and the awful
slaughter of Spion Kop. The other
medals which were worn by the men are
medals won in the music contests. They
have been In this country for month.
and are booked ahead until March, after
which they viii return to the looms.-.

new LAWS IN FORCE
Numerous Statutes Enacted by the
forty-Fifth Session of ths General
Assembly Become Effective

Among the four hundred and
odd statutes that became effective
Monday is one which, many be-
lieve, will prove one of the most
important on the books. This is
the act creating a state waterways
commission. The first places on
the new board have been given
by the governor to w. K. Kava-
naugh and C. P. Walbridge of st.
Louis, L. M. Jones and Walter S.
Dickey of Kansas City and former
Gov. A. M. Dockery of Gallatin. II
the plans OF the members are pur.
sued as arranged at present, the
board will lack much of being sim
ply ornamental Every member is
a deep waterway enthusiast and
every one has done something to
distinguish himself on this ques-
ton. The next legislature will be
asked to provide funds for the
use of the board
Another imro tant statute is the
new game and fish law. 1t is a
stringent measure, and the game
warden, Jesse A. Tollerton, of
Taney county, says it will be en-
forced to the letter.
The state board of immigration,
as organized, embodies a special
project OF the governor. There was
some Democratic opposition, but
Senator's Humphrey and McDavid
persuaded their colleagues to let
it go through. The Governor has
named a Democrat, ]. H. Curran,
as head OF the board.
A st. Louis man, Tom L. John
son, was named to enforce the ho-
tel inspection law.
Another statute of consequence
is the one relating to the inspec-
tion of oils. Hitherto, oil inspec-
tion fees have gone to the in
spectors. Hereafter, all such fees
will go into the state treasury, and
the oil Inspector and his deputies
will be paid salaries like any 9TH
er employees. The Governor named
as the first of the state inspectors
his private secretary, Rush c. LAX.
of Kansas City. 1t is the expecta-
ton that the law will net the state
$l50,000 annually.

THE TRUE STORY OF
THE BELL RINGERS
How Bell Ringing origInated--The
History Of an Unique Enter
tainment Feature.


tainment Feature.
(Written for Lacrosse Tribune by one
who knew them.)
In the ancient City of Norwich, Eng
land, there stands the noble old st.
Peters church, in the towers Of which
are hung one of the finest set of eight
bells in all that country. 1t is a mat
ter Of historic pride that no better bell
ringers could be found than those who
rang here in tuneful and inspiring
concert on Sunday mornings and holi-
days. The ringing of the bells of st.
Peters on Christmas morning and at
the coming in of the New Year Is one
OF the most cherished customs of the
city. Old citizens would have regard
ed 1t as a calamity If the bells did not
ring and young lovers would wonder
what was the matter. It was here
that the Royal Hand Bell Ringers had
their beginning. The bell ringers of
this belfry were fastidious and con-
servative set of men who usually re-
sented all intrusion into their domain,
but there was one boy of more than
half century ago, named Duncan s.
Miller, who was SO passionately fond
OF the bells that these old men ad.
mitted him to their charmed circle
and taught him the musical circle and
science of the church bell ringing.
The time came when young Duncan,
like most English boys of that time,
must be apprenticed to trade and
his parents decided that he must 20 to
an uncle In the town of Poole, some
hundred or more miles away. Dun
cans chief grief was that this would
separate him from his beloved bells.
To compensate him for this loss his
mother had a set of eight hand bells
made with notes to correspond with
those of st. Peters. With these the
boy went off to Poole and there prac.
ticed until he became efficient In the
handling of them. Then he increased
the number and associated with him.
self another youth and soon they be-
gan to entertain social parties and lit
tie temperance gatherings.
Going to London, Duncan Miller had
set of seventy bells scientifically
constructed and induced four young
men to join him. These became so
popular that he had to choose between
bell ringing as a profession and his
business. He decided for his dear
bells and 1t was not long before he
received royal command to play be-
fore Queen Victoria.
He increased his peal Of bells to
1s1 and with these played several
times before royalty and the company
were In constant demand. They Wis
tied almost every civilized country
and appeared before many crowned
heads and came to where they ap-
peared before Presidents Harrison and
Cleveland.
There are thousands of people in
many countries who will recall their
inspiring music. A few years ago
Miller retired and two years ago he
died. The present greatly augmented
company--now reaching the number
of eight players with a splendid COM
bination OF III bells-are the legiti-
mate successors of these old Royal
Hand Bell Ringers. This is their first
. visit to the United States and they
are brought here by the enterprise
and at the expense OF the Redpath.

DELIGHT WEST LIBERTY
The Royal English Hand Bell Ringers
Succeed in Captivating Iowa
Audiences

The following report from the West
Liberty (Ia.) Index refers to the Royal
English Hand Bell Ringers, who give
two concerts at the local Chautauqua:
Then came the bell ringers. eight
young men from Merrie England on
their first American tour, making all
sorts of music from $50 bells OF vari-
GUS sizes. They played number of
sacred selections, one of them being
Onward, Christian Soldier" composed
by curate of their own parish, as
we'll as several popular American airs.
One of the boys was an alto soloist of
unusual excellence who sang several
numbers with accompaniment from
the bells in the hands of his compan-
ions. These bells are unlike anything
ever seen in this country and the per-
fOrmance was a marvel, If the audi
ence could have had its way the boys
would have played all night.
"A pleasant feature of the occasion
was that several OF the boys were from
the town of Harbury, where Rev. Geo.
Furniss began his ministerial career
some twenty-five years ago. He knew
their parents and many of their
friends. AS they had been In America
but two weeks. they brought him di;
rect ttdings from the old home. He
was glad to see them and they equally
rejoiced to see him, A pleasant hour
was spent by these men. born during

SENSATIONAL CASE
OF KIDNAPPING THERE
Especial to The Sentinel, ,


Fort Collins, Colo, Jan. 15-De-
tails of an alleged kidnapping of a
prisoner from jail by masked men
who horsewhipped him, and of other
exciting events last July, in which
the then mayor of Walden, North
Park, and the chief of police of that
city are charged with being the prin-
cipal offenders. have just come to
light in a suit filed in district
court yesterday by n. II. Cox
The defendants are c. E. Mosman,
Fl. A. Mosman and j. n. Davis.
G.. h. Mosman was the mayor of
Walden, and Cox, in his complaint,
charges him with usurping the au-
thority of police magistrate. alleg-
ing that he, with the other two de-
PENDANTS. trumped up charges against
him and had him falsely imprisoned
July 6.
That night, Cox alleges, he was
taken out of Jail by Mosman and
three others, who wore masks, placed
in a wagon, carried to the outskirts
of the town and told to take the road
and get out.
Cox alleges that the next day he
was arrested again, charged with the
keeping of disorderly house. and
that the same night, Davis, who was
chief of police. entered his cell and
told him a mob was waiting outside
to get in and he couldn't protect him.
Cox alleges that Davis took him
outside to the mob, where he was
horsewhipped until he bled. He
brings suit for $4,000 damages for
both offenses.
