TWO FOR BooTLEeeING.

Dusty Calmore and Nibs Novels, tw'
young colored fellows were arrested
Wednesday morning charged with
boouegging. Both were disposed to
fight the case and intimated
that a serious mistake had been made
until they were confronted with the
evidence in the hands of the county
attorney and they then plead guilty
without fight, one appearing before
Judge ToTey and the other before
Judge Clayton. The fine villas 800
and 30 days in Jail in each case.
Nibs has been a hard working
young fellow and the officers do not
think he has been a violator of the
law for any particular length of time.
OF late he has been employed on the
government building and the general
opinion is that only 8 hours work a
day gave him too much idle time and
that he therefore decided to increase
his income. If Dusty, or Bob as he
is known, has been working, the Off
GERS are unaware of the fact.

Seventh District send Companion Washington Congressman
FRANK MAckENRoTH.

At the age Of % years, Z months
and 5 days, beginning ianh 81, 1888
in South Bend township, FrankMack-
teuroth, of 1909 Stone street, died at
Gneat Bend, in the st. Rose hospital,
last Sunday evening. November 8,
1911.
He was one Of six childnen of Mr..
and Mrs. Chris Mackenroth, early-day
residents Of this county. About three
yeaB ago he was united in marriage
TO Miss Mabel Emma Nelson, one
child two years old, Hazel, being borr
10 this union.
The other relatives left, besides
his wife and daughter, ape a brother,
Earl Mackenrpth, four sisters, NIrs,
Jas. Airheart, Mrs. Emira Landrum,
Of Rifle, Okla, Miss Louisa Macken-
roth Of Hutchinson, Miss Anna Mack
enroah of Gaatias and a haf-brother
and sister, Chas. Mackenroth and
Miss Minnie Williams.
Death resulted from an accident
that occurned at the Walnut Greek
Mills about two weeks ago, while be.
ing employed there. While attempt
ing to fix or oil a pulley his clothing
got tangled on a set screw on the
pulley and his body revolved around
the shafting with a chance Of ending
his life Instantly. Other employees
who saw the accident turned in the
alarm and the machinery was stopped
After removing him from the shaftine
which was so difficult that most Of
his clothes had to be cut off, doc
tor was summoned and an investiga-
ton showed that an arm was broken
in three places and other bruises
were received over the body and that
the skin on the palm of one hand was
nearly torn off. He was taken to the
hospital and remained there for six
days, gradually improving and at the
end of that time decided TO go home
1909 Stone street, in order to save
further expense as he was able to be
up and walk around considerably. At
ter getting home, he came down town
once or twice. Signs of typhoid de
veloped and he was again taken to
the hospital where death came in
three days. Had it not been for the
latter. in all probabilities he wo,Ss
have pulled through all right without
much trouble, but he was too weak
TO Withstand the two.
Funeral services were held last
Tuesday, from the Presbyterian
church, this city, at 2:3O O'Clock con
Quoted by Rev. Westwood and burial
made in the Great Bend cemetery.
Frank was a hard working young
man, we'll liked by the many who
knew him. and his sudden death is a
shock to the community, who sympa

their hour Of sorrow.

TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

The Teachers Association meeting
al Hoisington was well attended con-
Isidering the inclemency Of the wealth
er. A profitable and enthusiastic
meeting was held.
Prof. Powers, President of the As
sociation, being absent, Prof. Senter,
the vice-president, presided.
The reading Circle work on The
Teaching Of Geography" as conduct,
ed by Prof. Seuter was much enjoy
ed. The lesson was given as a class
recitation, some of the points devel-
oped being the practical side of geog.
raphy, the sciences involved in its
study and the relation of life to geo
graphical conditions, or controls and
responses. Miss Praeger's paper on
How to Study" emphasized the i'm
portance of teaching children to have
definite aims in studying.
Miss Momyer gave a talk ON busy
work for the benefit of beginning
teachers. Suggestions of how to use
homemade material were given and
addresses of firms handling helps
along this line.
One of the features of the meet
ing was the exercise in dramatizabiOn
In which Miss Blna SOderStrom S
class acted out the story Of Tommy
Cats lost collar. The entertainment
program was much enjoyed by the
teachers. The, program consisted OF
a recitation by Mrs. Paisley, and musi
cal numbers by Misses Burton, Johns
and Varah.
In the discussion of what We
Should Get from Teachers Meetings"
the teachers advocated model classes
not only in primary but also in high
er grades, round table and depart
mental work, current events at each
meeting, papers on advance ideas
along educational lines and methods
Of teaching certain definite things
IN school subjects.
The discussion on state text books
was spirited. The books which came
most under discussion were the arith.
metc, the primer, the primary geog-
raphy and the fifth reader. It is the
concensus of opinion that the tect
book law should be revised so that
higher priced and better books may
be adopted for our schools. It seems
wrong that a state boaSting OF
the wealth of Kansas should, by law,
require the teachers to teach out of
an inferior book because the amount
allowed for this book is not enough
to allow the purchase of good books.
A good primer costs 35 cents but the
iaw limits the Kansas children to
the use of a 13 cent primer.
Owing to illness Prof Holton could
not be present to deliver his lecture
on Agriculture. The next meeting
will be held in Ellinwood.

KILLED QUAIL OUT OF SEASON.

Ned Porter Wednesday plead guilty
to shooting quail out Of season and
paid a fine Of $25. County Attorney
Russell states that any infractiOn of
the game laws Of this sort will be
vigorously prosecuted when violations
are reported to him. Porter's case
was a common one and only out Of
the ordinary in that he got caught.
Porter sold the birds to local bust
ness man and they were found in
his place. ",
Every hunter who belivees in fair
play should take an interest in these
cases wherein the game law is vio-
lated as 1t is the pot hunters who kill
the chances Of the real hunters. The
man who hunts for the pleasure and
recreation It gives him finds numer.
Gus places over the county where he
could hunt IL 1t were not for the fel
lows who 60 out and hunt out OF sea-
son or hunt on land where It is moi
permitted. There are many who win
not allow quail to be killed ON Their
places and that Is certainly theil
privilege. Others find that the short
hunting season does not thin ont the
birds to amy great extent and the
thing would be pretty we'll balanced
Il It wasn't for the fellows who hum
for a profit.
Porter has had his fun and has pal,
for it. The other fellows who do TIA
same thing should be made 10 do th'
same thing. b.
