PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTE.


Gentle reader, il you had come
to the school house Tuesday after
noon during the opening period,
you would have beheld six learn
I'd members Of the high school
faculty, with much poise and dig
mostly poise- yainly trying
10 perform the impossible task Of
peeping through two keyholes in
TO the assembly room. II had
been distinctly understood and
agreed upon, both verbally and By
written contract, that our good
and trusted superintendent was TO
-pester the high school pupils with
spelling during this period, but,
Judging from the strange noises
that found their way through the
keyholes, il was quite evident that
Mr.. Curtis had broken his treaty
and was experimenting with some
thing entirely different.
II was this way: Mr.. Curtis
made q short speech on patriotism
the value OF good music, and the
need Of puncfuality, and then Al
the psychological moment he
asked il the hat might be paSscd
to see how much could be raised
for a new flag 10 stand by, a drum
10 march By, and an assembly
clock 70 go by. The suggestion
took well and the sum Of $35 was
subscribed; about s. 90 Of this
amount being extracted from the
freshmen by Mr.. Booth.
Air. Curtis, Harold Fike and
Robert Wright started things with
81 so each. Robert created a sem
sation BY shedding a few tears
and kissing his hard earned mon.
ey good by.
This shows that our people are
highly patriotic and that they |
have the proper school spirit. We
are sure that the new things viii
be much appreciated.
II might be added that the six
unfortunate and much peeved |
teachers who were obliged to see
things thru the keyholes have not
as yet given anything, but they
may later.
Mr. Booth is much encouraged /
about the prospect for a success

preached him she shook with sobS.
and in almost indistinguishable tones
said she had confession to make.
Capt. ketchum took her to the bar
racks, where, in evident fear of con
sequences but with a grim determine
ton, she told her story.

resulted sensational trial Despite
Fassett's repeated pfotestations of in
nocence and despite the testimony of
Lena's two little playmates, who en-
phatically contradicted the charges
against the man. he was found guilty
and sentenced to one TO fourteen
years in the penitentiary.
Fassett was brought TO Joliet and
Immediately wrote letters stoutly
his innocence to various
and persons in Elgin who
had been especially interested in the
trial.

Yesterday the girl, moved by the
sermon she had heard, and in an ef.
fort to relieve a troubled conscience,
confessed that she had accused Fas-
sett wrongfully.
"Fasset is innocent. lied when !
said he was guilty the girl told
Capt Ketchum.
The case will be brought before the
