EMERSON SCHOOL
First Months Showing a Very Credit
 able One.

able One.
 At the request of the Sun man for some notes concerning the first months work in the Emerson school Prof. o. H. Richardson. the super intendent, very kindly furnished the following which will be of muck interest to the patrons of the school and to the public generally
 We are pleased to submit to the public the following report of the first month of work at the Emerson school. Parents will kindly re- member that the average daily at- tendance has been lowered by the fact that sC many pupils entered school the second and third weeks. The total enrolment is 2l5, and by rooms as follows:
 Kindergarten 33. first grade AZ, second grade 36, third and fourth grades 45, fifth and sixth grades 2, and seventh and eighth grades 37.
 The average daily attendance for the month is l80.l7. This is II more than the first days enroll. ment. Since it is the average daily attendance which is considered in distr ibuting the public money we hope to bring this average up to 200 in another month. The aver age attendance for the rooms is as follows: Kindergarten 22.84. first gra de 34.39. second grade 3l.52, third and fourth 40.92, fifth and sixth l9. seventh and eighth 32.5.
 It IS a noticeable fact that the kindergarten is the only room which has no tardy marks for the first month. The question of tard- mess is often a matter of neglect rather than necessity and we re. spectfully request the parents tC aid us getting the children here or time.
 It may be interesting to know that of the 6l enrolled last year al the branch school in the normal training department we have 2E thus far who have reported foi work. In spite of this fact oul daily attendance this first month k greater by F than the daily attend ance for the first month last year
 in both the Emerson and the brancf school combined. Our second month has already given us 6 new pupils and many new seats anc desks have been installed.
 The past month has brought U:
 many friendly visits which have made us feel good and we hope tha' many more will follow the example already set. The callers have in cluded. Mesdames Campbell, Mar : tini, Curtis. Keller, Gates. Carey , and Coffin, Misses Beasley and Pay l ne, Messrs. Perkins, Switzer, Met calf, Clark, and Gov. Buchtel, thu latter giving us very interesting . 20-minute talk. It is needless t say how much we feel indebted t ' those who call on us. It is an in
 spiration to know that so man.
 patrons of the school are willing t 2 leave their work and come to se : how things are going with us. I'm educational life touches the com munity life very closely and 1t : important to know whether the ris 2 ing generation is to be progressiv f or not. Come and see us and see l we can interest you. Just drop in to the manual training departmen and see the book shelves, ironini : boards, sleeve boards, etc, tha t the boys are making or step int g the cooking room and sample som n of the plckled peaches canned frui or jelly (provided the girls vii agree) and you will be proude - than ever of the advantages offere e by your public school.

alternating. The appearance of an in

precisely the same in both cases. 1t
may be desired, for instance, to use Il
small motor, and those for use with
the two kinds of currents are of en-
tirely different construction. If a small

net nears it. If. on the contrary. the
current is alternating the filament will
begin to vibrate, which will make it

Opposition to 1t.

Payne Speaks for Bill and Clark in
Opposition to 1t.
In the house the tariff bill was pre-
scented for discussion. Serene E.
Payne, chairman of the ways and
means committee, delivered the open
ing speech in support of the bill, dur
ing the course of which he was inter
rogated frequently.
In opening Payne declared that
the country was Overwhelmingly in IA
vor of a protective tariff. cit is an
American policy" he said, and it
seemed to be acquiesced in by the
great majority of the American peo-
Pile.
Champ Clark, leader of the minority
party in the house, followed in a
speech in opposition to the measure,
and a vigorous attack upon many of
it's provisions. These leaders were fol-
lowed in turn by many members of
their respective parties.
That the Payne bill is an open chaI-
lenge to trade war with every other
nation on earth is one of the criti-
cisms in the minority report.
The countervailing duty provisions
for coffee and petroleum, the maximum
and minimum features, the Cuban re
ciprocity clause, the wooden, glass, ag.
ricult1ral and sugar schedules are at
tackled.

EXPLORER NEAR
TO SOUTH POLE
Lieutenant ShaCkIetOn Of British
Navy Sends Message.
EXPEDITION SAILED JULY, 1907

Almost Year Ago the Antarctic Ex-
plorer and Thirty-Eight Men Were
Encamped at Mt. Erebus, the Most
Southerly of VoIcanoes-Ice Was
Forming Rapidly When the Ship
Nimrod Disembarked Stores and
Sailed Away from the Pole Seekers.
London, March ga cablegram
was received direct from Lieutenant
E. H. Shackleton, the Antarctic eX-
plorer, dated lnvercargill, New Zea-
land, saying his expedition had reach
ed within 100 miles of the south pole.
1t is considered significant here that
Lieutenant Shackleton, when he came
ashore at Invercargill, New Zealand,
refused all information regarding the
details Of his exploration. He at once
went to the cable office and dis
patched a message. He looked the
picture of health and intimated that
all his comrades were well.
The expedition under Lieutenant
Shackleton. of the British navy, left
London in July, 1907.
Almost a year ago to a day Lieu
tenant ShacEleton was heard from in
a dispatch from Chalmers, New Zea-
land, in which he described part of his
experience in seeking the south pole.
Lieutenant Shackleton with thirty
eight explorers, was then encamped
at the foot of Mount Erebus, the most
southerly of volcanoes.
The news of his safe arrival after
tempetstuous voyage, was taken to
Chalmers by his ship. the Nimrod.
Captain England of this ship reported
that ice was forming rapidly to the
south when he left. The Nimrod dis
embarked stores and equipment be-
fore setting out on it's return to this
port.
Lieutenant Shackleton announced
that the Nimrod would not return for
him and his fellow prisoners until
January of 1910 This was a change
from the original program.

Remarkable Murder Case.
The Cooper-Sharp trial was one of
the most remarkable murder cases in
the history of the south, not only be-
cause of the prominence of the prin-
cipals in the tragedy, but because of
the reasons that led to the killing.
Carmack and Colonel Cooper were
the best of friends in years past but
became estranged during the campaign
which resulted in the defeat of Car
mack for reelection to the United
States senate.
The shooting of Carmack was the
result of editorials published in the
former senator's paper. After a num-
Der of attacks Colonel Cooper sent the
famous message to Carmack:
IF my name appears in The Ten.

Immediately the defense moved to

verdict of disagreement of Friday,
and asked the court to declare it a

KIDNAPERS
Give UP BOY
Little Willie Wilitla Now in
Mothers Care.
FATHER PAYS OUT $4,000

Woman in a Candy Store at CIeve.
land, O., Is the Go Between-Boy
Says His Captors Treated Him Well
But He Screw So Lonesome
Meets Father at HolIenden Hotel
Where He Was Sent on Street Car
by the Abductors-Father Happy.
Willie Whitla now rests securely in
his mothers arms at Sharon, Pa. The
woman hardly would let anyone come
near her boy. His father greeted him
in the corridor of Cleveland hotel.
After $4,000 was paid through a
mysterious woman in Cleveland the
boys father went to the Hollenden
hotel there. He waited for some time
and Willie walked in.
The youngster states he was treated
well. But l grew so lonesome" he
said.
The father was too busy when seen
this morning to discuss a hunt for the
kidnapers. Il don't care for $4,000"
he exclaimed, 1--WE got my boy"
After remaining mute for hours,
Whitla admitted that he had paid
$4,000 to the woman in the candy
store. 1t was in currency and bills.
The woman did not count the money.
Whitla refuses to disclose her iden-
tity.
Guided by TWO Boys.
In compliance with an agreement en-
tered into between Whitla and an
agent of the kidnapers, the boy was
placed on street car on the outskirts
Of the city and started to the hotel
shortly after o'clock. Two boys, G.
w Ramsey and Edward Mahoney,
ing him in charge conducted him to the
hotel.
An attempt had been made to dis
guise the lad. He wore pair of
smoked glasses and a large black cap
which was pulled down over his ears
and the father said it would have been
difficult to have recognized the boy in
such a garb had he passed him on the
street
Willie is in perfect health. He says
he was kept indoors. He believes he
was taken from Sharon to Warren and
thence to Newcastle, Pa. 1t is his
opinion, expressed in a happy school
boy way, that he was in Ashtabula at
the time his father was to leave
$4,000 in Flatiron park.
Shortly after noon he left Sharon for
Cleveland. He was unaccompanied.
His immediate family and the private
detectives he had in his employ had
been appraised of the proposed secret
meeting, but he insisted on making the
trip alone. Every one solemnly was
warned that he must be allowed to go
unheeded and no attempt at the cap
ture of the kidnapers be made.
Agreed to Terms at Once.
About 2 o'clock in the afternoon he
went to a candy store in the east end.
With all the eagerness of a distracted
parent Whitla agreed to the terms
proposed Immediately. Half an hour
later he returned to the hotel and
awaited developments.
His entrance to the MOTEL was
shrouded in secrecy. By previous ar
rangement made with the hotel man
agement he did not register.
In the meantime little Willie, the
kidnapped boy, feeling comparatively
safe in the hands of his captors, for he
was being treated kindly and even at
this time does not realize what danger
he was in, was being prepared for his
return to his father. The woman at
the candy store had done her duty. She
communicated with the captors of the
boy and told them that the father had
made no attempt to trap them. The
