Wilkesbarre, Pa, March 22.-Wher
Prof. Clayton Keller, principal OF the
laceyville high school. sat down In q
pond of water which had been poured
Into bis chair, was he justified In using
a ruler on Miss Ruth Russell, nine
teen.year old pupil, when he found that
she had constructed the lakei This il
the question that has split Iaceyyille
vide open.
All agree that the professor had good
excuse for losing his temper, but most
OF the folk think he acted a little has.
tily in furnishing Miss Russell. They
believe that II he had waited awhile his
better judgment would have asserted
itself. AZ any rate the April grand jury
will have 10 wrestle with the question.
Prof. Kellar wa arrested charged with
assault and battery by Judson Russell,
the girls father.
Tho incident Is greatly regretted be-
cause Laceyville ID supposed 10 be a
dry town. According 20 the pupils
in Miss Russell's class Il happened a
few days ago Prof. Kellar's chair orig
inally was nice and plump. but his gen
erous proportions have depressed IL un.
ill they lent themselves admirably 10
the loci canal scheme.
He stepped out Of the room for a few
minutes, and In his absence some one
filled the leather ditch with water. No
one win tell who did Il. Prof. Keller
says he noticed suppressed litter
when he returned, but paid no atten-
ton TO II as filters are not uncommon
In that part Of the country. He poised
himself for q second and then began his
descent. He hit the water with splash
there wasn't room for both
on that chair. One had 10 move, and
II was the water. II moved up around
him on all sides aud came down like a
cascade. The litter was a roar.
The water must not have been fine,
because he didn't stay in long. He rose
TO the surface and disereetly backed
ut Of the room by side door, leaving
a damp trail behind him. Several Of
his favorite boys rushed 10 his aid with
stacks Of blotters. After he had been
made comfortable he came back. In
his right hand he clutehed a ruler

for where Miss Ruth was laughing UNI
iii her teeth ratified.
Eye-witnesses say what followed was
fearful. he didn't ask her TO hold out
her hand, as teachers generally do. He
helped himself. Ruth's father oorrobor-
ltes this. He says his daughter is
black and blue and yellow in several
spots. Ruth feels the humiliation moro
than anything else. Prof Keller is only
/ few years her senior, and they
have met in social way many times.

FREE cuLruRE IN HOLLAND.
Elms on Canal Banks and Lindens That
French Monarch Guarded.

There is perhaps no other we'll popu'
lated country in the world which has
so many well wooded towns as has Hol-
land. Most Of the streets and grachts
or canals have avenues Of trees. Utrecht
has two rows Of trees on either side OF
lts quaint canals. It's canal banks are
constructed as If in two stories. Tho
lower story, almost flush with the water
level, Is lined with warehouses ana
vaults, while the upper story has dwell
inga and shops. Both levels are planted
with trees.
SO many avenues Of trees make a
Dutch town exceedingly pleasant, espec-
tally on hot day. The foliage tempers
the glare OF the sun and the vistas Of
green are refreshing 10 the eye. Thes,
abundant growths In thickly populated
towns are highly useful as well as orna-
mental. II is recognized that from a hy-
gienic point Of view they are valuable
to the citizens.
In Holland these useful, services are
gratefully recognized and the trees are
carefully tended by the municipalities
The cost Of this care per capita in the
different towns varies somewhat. Last
year, for example Utrecht devoted
twenty-one CENTS Dutch 20 It's trees for
each inhabitant and The Hague twenty
eight cents for each Of its $4,000 citizens.

A VIEW OF BARRE.
How Capital and Labor Generally Get
Together.

Amid the talk OF dissatisfaction in
Barre and Montpelier over the scale Of
wages paid granite workers and of pros
pective trouble in the industry on that
score, that social held by the Mari q
Gordon concern in Barre and its large
force of employees last Friday night Is a
pleasant relief. It is said to have been
the first social event of the kind ever
held in Barre. IL doesn't look as If there
was any dissatisfaction among those par.
ticular employers and employees, at least.
Probably II employers and employees fra
ternized more freely there would be less
Misunderstanding between them.-Rut.
land Evening News.
When capital crosses bats with labor
in Barre all the rules of the game are
observed. There have been some doughty
struggles in the series running through
a period of about twenty years, but each
test of strength has only served to in
crease the respect of the manufacturers
and the employees, one for the other.
There have been strikes, to be sure, one
in 1902 lasting for nearly six months,
during which the granite industry in
Vermont, and in New England for that
matter, was at q standstill, but there
was not an incident which bore any re-
semblance to the regrettable features
which so frequently accompany clashes
between the men who do the work and
the men who pay the wages. Perhaps
one reason for the fairness that hes
always been noticeable in the relations
between the "men and the bosses" at
Barre is the fact that many Of the older
employers have worked at the banker
in their younger days and are therefore
qualified to look at matters of difference
from a broader point Of view than is
often the case.---Bennington Banner.

The greatest fatality ever caused by

time many new trees and shrubs have

From Mott Pioneer Press: The
second trial Of Ingebret Johnson
came to a close last Friday when
the jury handed in verdict Of
murder in the second degree.
This tragedy was the result of a
quarrel over a load Of coal which
Igaard had taken on Johnson's
land. johnson first requested
Igaard to let the coal alone,
whereupon Igaard threw Johnson
down and choked him. This in
censed Johnson to a degree bord-
ering on insanity, whereupon he
went home, secured a shot gun
and came out to the road and
again demanded Igaard to unload
which the latter agreed to do if
he would lay the gun down. At
this point Johnson fired striking
Igaard in the knee and stomach.
Igaard lived only a short time
after.
The Bismarck Tribune draws
the following pen picture Of the
trial: I'm the district court room
as the Johnson murder case is
being tried, there is a pathetic
example of the hardships that
come to innocent persons through
unbridled passions and hasty
violence. Back Of the defendant
Jhhnson, sits his wife and boy
9 or 10 years of age, one of a
family of 5 or 6 children Of the
defendant. The wife has been
deprived Of her husbands assist
ance for the past during which
he has been in Jail, and she has
yet to go thru the ordeal of his
trial and the verdict of the jury
| in his case. In another seat back
of her, sits the widow of the de-
ceased Igaard, who was killed in
the encounter between him and
Johnson. She has a young daugh-
ter with her, and is likewise an
innocent sufferer from the trag-
edy. 1t is a question if the two
women are not the greatest suf-
ferers from the passion of two
men, where a quarrel over a load
of coal brot death to one and may
bring either death or a long term
of Imprisonment to the other. y
A pathetic scene was witnessed
by many Of the passengers on
the N. P. the day after the ver-
dict by the jury. Mrs. Johnson,
wife Of the murderer, and Mrs.
Igaard, wife Of the victim, were
on the train home occupying seats
opposite, when one Of them took
the others hand and elapsed it..
Between tears they conversed in
their native tongue and it was
plain that they had resolved not
to bear malice toward one anoth-
er and to make the best of an un-
fortunate and sad affair, and
| when they arrived at Dickinson,
both women got in the same Wag-
on and each drove to a cheerless
and fatherless home.
