e. Gold the S. Jacobs Companys
tailor, took rather an expensive bath at
the Hot Springs yesterday forenoon.
When he finished his swim, he went
for his clothes and found the pockets
Of his pantaloons turned inside out and
his purse containing $50 missing. While
he was in the pool, two Japs came in
and left while he was swimming 1t is
supposed that they took the money Mr.
Gold did not report his loss to the Of
ficers until late yesterday afternoon and
the officers have very little chance of
finding the thieves.
|. Gebhart Siebel, Mr. Baumbach's bar
tender, skipped out yesterday morning
with the money Mr.. Baumback had
given him to open the saloon. About
8 o'clock he told Mr. Brossemer that he
was going to breakfast and to look out
for him while he was gone. Mr.. Baum
back did not reach the saloon until
about 10 o'clock, and missing the bar
keeper began looking for him. He did
not find him and telegraphed east and
west along the road Last evening
when No. pulled into Ogden Siebel
was arrested He is now held there.
On the first of June, Jose Goitiandia
went to the =. P. agent here and asked
for b bed that he claimed to have ship

the bed and the agent gave it to him.
Yesterday Santos Gomez, the owner of
the bed, presented Il check for it.. The
man who got the bed was working near
Tuscarora and he was sent for and came
in yesterday with the bed which prov
ed to be the property of Gomez. In the

There is considerable surprise express
sed bySsOme of our citizens over the re-
lease of Bill Lawler, the vag, who was
sent to Jail 80 days by Judge Brown on
the goth of April It is thought that he
was released before his time expired for
some reason unknown to the public.
In order to set the matter right, we
interviewed Joe Harris, exdeputy
sheriff, over the phone this forenoon
and was given the following explana-
ton: LAWYER was committed to Jail on
the Goth of April and served 10 days in
that month, 81 days in May and II days
in June, making SO days. The law
gave him credit of days for good be-
havior each month, which reduced his
time to rs days. During the time he
Hwas in Jail, he worked "a days for which
he received credit under the law of two
days for each day he worked. This re-
duced the75 days to 81 days. AS he
served So days, it will be seen that he
got all that was coming to him.

reasons for the lack of its correlation
with other subjects lst The lack Of
direct interest in nature study on the
part Of the teacher; End. Lack of the
proper sequence Mr. Bgelow's de-
finition of nature study was given as
one OF the best Nature study is the
observational study of the common
activities and objects from the stand
point of human interest in every day
| life. A child must learn nature study
by direct contact, although pictures may
be frequently used to convey knowledge
which cannotbe impaired by direct contact
with things. 1t is impossible to teach
it by means of a text book. In first and
second grades begin teaching about the
home and the immediate surroundings.
Third grade, the yard and its improve
ments. Fourth grade--It is widened
out into industrial geography. In the
fifth grade the work is more definite
using only two subjects, birds, and trees.
Mr. Babcock gave the following group
