ton, It was composed Of laymen

Pirtls's School Bill.

Hon. John c. Pirtle. who was for
many years school teacher, and
who is the Representative from Har-
din county, has introduced bill in
the House which should not pass.
The bill provides that two-thirds OF
the school money shall be paid to
the teachers according to the num-
Der OF children of school age in the
district and the other third paid to
them according the number OF chill
dren who attend the school. II also
provides that no teacher shall share
in the division OF the one-third ac-
cording to attendance who does not
have thirty-five per cent. average
attendance.
The enactment Of such measure
into a law would eliminate nearly
every teacher from the profession
That some of the schools are poorly
attended is not the fault, except in
isolated cases, OF the teacher. Its
the fault OF the parents and the
law. We lay it down as a general
truth, subject 10 only a few excep-
tions, that the teacher who has
passed the examination now pre-
scribed by law is, so far as scholar
ship concerned, qualified to teach
II he properly performs the duties
OF his high vocation he should not
be required to do more. The parent
and the school trustee are the ones
Mr.. Pirtle should go after The
teacher who really teaches his schoo
has enough to do. He earns his
money when he does this and
should not be required to perform
the duties OF a truant officer.
Mr.. Pirtle's bill should not pass

the Methodist Episcopal Church, one
of the best-known clergymen in. the
country, died in Philadelphia last

SWindlilg Scheme Reported.

The following is from the Cat
lettsburg Tribune, but nothing Is
known here about 1t. Another paper
says David Prince was arrested upon
this charge and landed in Jail here,
but this is untrue: r
By the arrest of young man.
whose name Is withheld, and Who
is said to be the ringleader Of 4
gang, at the village of Orr, Law
renee county. Friday night, by Unit
ed States Marshals, a bold scheme
to swindle merchants in various
large cities has been unearthed.
The young man in question, with
his associates, established credit
by procuring bland check books Of
Cincinnati, Huntington, Louisa and
Greenup banks, upon which checks
we're given. Another feature OF the
scheme was the establishment Of
bogus bank at Orr. Of which the
.ringleader was alleged to be the
self-styled president and secretary.
and orders sent to wholesale and
retail houses in Chicago, Cincinnati.
New York and other cities were re-
ferred to the Bank of Orr" for
reference as to reliability OF the
persons sending the orders. AS the
orders were usually pronounced gilt
edged. the goods were shipped and
afterwards disposed of. 1t is esti-
mated that fully $1,000 worth Of
goods have been secured in this way,
a quantity of which is now at 3. X
Junction for delivery.

HELD UP IN CINCINNATI.
Two Lawrence County Citizens Narrow
" Escape Robbery.

Refusal of Charles w. Cooper
and Levi Miles, farmers and horse
dealers of Cherokee, Lawrence
county, KY, to submit quietly to
highwaymen who held them up on
Shillito Place, near Race street,
Wednesday night, resulted in the
arrest of Joe Graney, 1S, 2 East
bourne Terrace, and the escape OF
another man amid a fusillade of bul
let's" said the Cincinnati Times
Star.
Cooper and Miles came to Gin
cinnati Wednesday to buy horses.
They were about town during the
evening and about midnight started
to go to the Columbia hotel. On the
way up Elm street they met two
men, one of whom they say was
Graney. The men invited the farm
ers to have drink, but stated that,
as 1t was after midnight, they would
have to go into a saloon by the back
way. They led the farmers down
Shillito Place and knocked on a
gateway. Miles and Cooper became
suspicious and started to leave.
Each had more than 5000 in his
possession. We might as we'll get it
now, exclaimed one of the men,
and both drew revolvers, Cooper
and Miles leaped to one side, called
for help and struck at the highway
men.
"Patrolman Currin, who was a
half block away, ran up and cover
ed both men and made them halt.
Currin grabbed Graney and the 9th
er man started to run. Currin, still
clutching his prisoner, emptied his
revolver at the fugitive. Night Chief
Corbin, Detective Preston and Pa
trolman West ran up Race street.
The fleeing man saw the coming
and darted over Sixth street and
into College street, where he lost
his pursuers. He disappeared in a
hail of bullets from the revolvers
of the pursuing officers. Graney was
locked up. He had a lot of old
coins, a cold chisel, diamond for
cutting glass and a revolver. The
man who fled dropped pistol and
a large bunch of keys. Graney
claims that he is not guilty, though
he was identified by the two farm
ers."

Lent and Easter.

The forty day period OF fasting,
commemorative OF the fast of our
Savior, begins on next Wednesday
Feb. 9Th. BY very many this fast is
rigidly observed, nbt only in abstain
ing from food at certain times but
by refraining from certain amuse-
ments. The period ends on the last
day OF Lent, the following day be-
ing Easter. the day fixed by the
Christian world to commemorate the
resurrection OF Jesus Christ.
This year the festival occurs on
the 27th OF March, the time being
fixed by the date OF the full moon
after the vernal equinox. Being thus
governed Easter is movable feast
or festival, unlike in this regard
Christmas and many other feasts OF
the church.

Kermit Election.

The first election under the new
charter of Kermit was held on last
Thursday. There were two tickets
in the field, one called the Republi-
can, with William r, Kirk for mayor
and X. M. Salmons for recorder, the
other called the Citizens, with G. c.
Preece for mayor and John L. Evans
for recorder. A warm fight was
made, and we understand the liquor
question is the issue, and II the
Citizens ticket wen there is hardly
likely to be saloon at Kermit next
year, Conditions have been so bad
there that 1t is believed that good
majority of the voters of Kermit
would stand for the Citizens ticket
There is no politics in the election
other than desire to better local
conditions.

Andy York.

The friends of A. e. York, one Of
the city's most prominent and high
ly respected gentlemen, will be sorry
to learn that he is severely afflicted
and has gone to Louisa where he
entered the hospital OF his kinsman,
DR.. L. H. York, for treatment, The
disease from which he is said to be
suffering is feared to be Bright's
disease, in a very advanced stage,
and II so he, it is feared, will have
great difficulty in overcoming it. Hi
health has been very poor for some
time, but It was not until lately that
his condition was regarded as being
anything like serious.-C Catlettsburs

Custer Spencer Died at This Place
Monday Evening.

Custer Spencer, whose illness had
been noted from time to time in
this paper, died early on last Mon
day night. He had been sick for
several weeks but was not confined
to his bed more than twelve or fif-
teen days, He was rational 10 the
end, which came peacefully and full
OF hope. He declared that he was
prepared for the Great Change,
and all who saw him die knew that
his belief and declaration were well
founded He was received into the
membership OF the NJ. L. Church by
Its pastor, DR.. Hanford, and by him
his funeral was preached in the
church on the afternoon following
his untimely death. The Rev. Mr..

early age the boy had a struggle for
life, but he was intelligent, sober
and industrious. and II the great

have made useful man.
He was an esteemed employe OF
the NEWS, and at the same time
lately. he entered the X. N. c.,
studying hard and working in this
office when opportunity was afford
ed. AS a mark OF respect the ma
chinery of the NEWS office was

and other friends saw that he had
everything that could cheer and
comfort his last days ON earth.
