Welding Copper and Steel

Dysart, Iowa, prides itself upon
housing Matthew Wilson, who claims to
have invented a process of welding
copper and steel. He also claims to
have welded two pieces of copper as
solidly as if they were nodded. He ex-
hibits in his shop hammer, the handle
of which is copper and the face of steel.
He can be seen any day with the n.y.
brid hammer. He says his process of
welding is the first in the history of
the world to prove successful.

Death evidently coming while he
was asleep the body of Judge p. H.
Rowell was found in his room at a
rooming house on East Franklin
street early Wednesday morning.
Deceased was sitting in a large rock

that death ensued early in the night
as he had not disrobed and his bed
had not been disturbed. The last
time he was seen alive was about 7
o o'clock Tuesday evening. At the
hour mentioned it Is said he was
talking to a friend near the post
office. He went to his room early
and when some young men who had
rooms at the same place went in to
retire for the night they saw Judge
Rowell sitting in his favorite chair.
AS they were accustomed to seeing
him occupying this position they did
not disturb him and passed on quiet

Department Conferences Are Interest
ing Features Of the Program.

teachers in the city schools was held
Saturday October 10, from $50 to
.4:30.
The first period, from $50 to
1920, was devoted to the lesson in
BagIey's Classroom Management"
Three chapters were considered.
These general topics we're discussed:
Hygienic conditions in the class
room, order and discipline and PEN
alties Under the first, hygienic con-
ditions, valuable suggestions were
made as to hygienic habits of pos
ture, the writing posture, posture in
standing, fatigue, relaxation eXer-
else, personal cleanliness and con-
tagious diseases. The general topic
Order and Discipline, afforded an
opportunity to consider the factors
in establishing authority. the first
condition oi effective discipline
Among these factors the following
%
sistence, scholarship, Justice good
nature. Under the third general
topic, penalties, Spencer's doctrine
of natural punishments was analyZ-
ed and its inadequacies pointed out.
Other things discussed We're char
acteristics of an effective penalty
and advantages and limitations of
corporal punishment. 1t was agreed
that corporal punishment at most
was only a tentative and extreme
measure.
Following this lesson, Mr.. Story
gave an exhaustive treatment of the
subject, Distinct Teaching Pro-
cess" These three processes We're
emphasized: Instruction, drill and
examination Three somewhat diff
ferent phases of oral instruction
were discussed; Objective oral
teaching, indirect oral teaching, and
direct oral teaching. Drill and test
ing, while important, were frequent
ly abused.
After the recess, the subject,
Some Principles of Teaching" was
presented in an interesting paper by
Miss Juanita Ray. Some seven or
eight principles were clearly stated
and analyzed. Among the maxims
growing out of one of the most i'm
portant principles, these were given:

DALLAS CITIZEN
Joseph f. Redd Is Murdered

Footpad's Victim Known to Have
Been Practically Penniless When
He Lett the City-A Negro
Is Suspected.

Dallas, Texas, Oct. murder
and highway robbery We're commit
ted about midnight Monday night
Joseph K. Redo, a carpenter, who re-
sides on the Kaufman road about
four miles south of the city, was
shot through the left arm, neck
shoulder and heart while riding in
his wagon and was instantly killed.
Robbery is supposed to have been
the motive for the crime, and mem
bers of the sheriffs department are
inclined to believe that the killing
was done by the same negro who has
been operating in that part of the
county for some time and who two
weeks ago last Saturday held up five
Farmers in the White Rock bottoms.
Despite the fact that members of the
sheriff's department have been
working diligently on the case since
they We're notified about O'Clock
yesterday morning, no arrests had
been made up to a late hour last
night.
The deceased was a married man
and is survived by wife and three
little children, The wife of the de-
ceased was so shocked at the tragedy
that she has been unable to express
Ter wishes as to when the funeral
shall take place
All indications are that the man
was killed for 35 cents, as it is
known that this is all the money he
had on his person yesterday evening.
When the lifeless body was found
after II o'clock Monday night there
was not a cent on his person. A ne
rying a shotgun is suspected of the
crime. This negro was seen by sew
Ieral different persons and a good
description has been given the Off
GERS Sheriff Ledbetter, Deputies
Smith, Padgett, Allen and Weakley
went out and beat all that section of
the country in search of the slayer.
They carried the bloodhounds, but
the animals failed to pick up any
trail
1t has been learned that Redd was
in the city Monday evening and left
a place in East Dallas where he had
recently built a house. He was en-
ployed by j. s. Eagle, a contractor,
and was talking to Mr.. Eagle just
before starting for his home. While
driving home along the Kaufman
road he stopped at the store of Ag-
new & Johnson, on the Kaufman
road, where he had been trading for
the past eighteen months. Here he
made a couple of purchases and 1t
was at this place he was last seen
