Joe Corbett could not stand for that
icy wind which swept the Oakland
grounds in the morning. and Vernon
won the game before the first Inning
had passed into history. Stovail, the
initial batter, got a two sacker. Haley
hunted the ball and Corbett tossed 1t
away. He then walked Brashear and
hit Graham. putting run over. Mar

cessfully, making it four runs for the
inning and the game for Vernon.

shall consist Of not less than
twenty school days, inclusive of
holidays, and shall be taught for
not less than seven hours
each day, including intermissions
and recesses.'
The First National Bank, which
is the county depository, has
taken charge Of the school funds
Of the county. Heretofore these
funds have been handled by the
county treasurer, and he was
allowed a commission of one per
cent for receiving and disbursing
them, but by an act of the
31st Legislature the county de-
positories are required to han
die these funds without compen-
sation.
In addition to the branches
heretofore taught in the public
schools, there must now be
taught elementary agriculture in
all schools having less than 300
scholastics, and may be required
by the trustees in these districts.
Teachers are required to give

KNOCKED HIS HAT OFF.
Salesman Compelled to Uncover While
sold Missouri" is Sung.

"OId Missouri" is Sung.
Because he refused to remove his
hat while the band played odd Mis-
souri," at the Wabash depot last night,
F. NJ. Meredith, travelling salesman
for a harness and saddlery company
of Chicago, is suffering from painful
cut under his right eye. Mr.. Meredith
was sitting by an open window in one
of the coaches. When the band was
playing odd Missouri" in farewell to
the Varsity football team, he would
not remove his derby. A student
reached in through the window and
knocked Mr. Meredith's hat from his
head with a megaphone. Mr.. Mere.
dith wears rimless spectacles, and the
student also knocked Mr.. Meredith
glasses off. The glasses were broken
in the scuffle and cut the flesh under
the eye, making a severe, though not
dangerous, wound.
