ANNA WILLIAMS

Anna Williams was the daughter of
a surgeon and physician in South
Wales, where she was born in 1905.
She went with her father to London
in 1880, when, from failure in his
undertakings, he was reduced to great
poverty. In 1740, Miss Williams lost
her eyesight, which prevented her
from assisting her father. She re-
tanned her fondness for literature,
however, and, what is more remarka-

1746 she published the Life of the
Emperor Julian, with Notes, translat-
ed from the French" This did not

Soon after this DR.. and Mrs. johnson
became interested in her, and she
went to live with them. Toward the
close of her life, her circumstances

!: N THIS PAPER FIFTY YEARS AGO !

From The Washington Standard for
Saturday Morning, March :, 1868.
Vol. VIII. No. 10.
Washington, Feb. 22.--In the
house the committee on RECONSTRUCT
ton made the following report:
Upon evidence collected by the COM
mission. which is hereinafter pre-
sented, and in virtue of the power
with which they are vested by the
house, they are of opinion that An
drew Johnson, president of the
United States, should be impeached
of high crimes and misdemeanors.
They therefore recommended to the
house the adoption of the accom-
panying resolution.
Washington, Feb. 24.-The i'm
parchment resolution was adopted in
the house by vote of 1875 to AZ.
Chicago, Feb. 22.-Specials say
the senate adjourned after over a
seven hours executive session. The
excitement in Washington is greater
than at any time since the assassina-
ton of Lincoln. The senate has
passed by strict party vote a reso-
luton declaring that the president
had no authority for his course in the
removal of Stanton. Stanton avows
his determination not to leave the
Office.
1t is now almost certain; says the
San Francisco Bulletin, that the
Northern Pacific railroad will be
built and that at an early day.
Since our last issue the telegraph
has furnished considerable sensation
al news. Tho farce of impeachment
has again been placed upon the stage.
The president of the United States
has been arraigned at the bar of the
senate, by the house of representa-
tives, charged with the high crime of
removing E. NJ. Stanton from the
war Office without the concurrence
of the senate and in violation of the
tenure of Office bill. The history Of
the world does not furnish parallel
case.

BURN GERMAN BOOKS
GROTON STUDENTS TAKE THEIR
REVENGE ON THE HUNS.

Groton, March 22.-Groton school
boys, names unknown. entered the
Groton high school room Monday
night, collected all of the German
textbooks, carried them to the side
walk in front of the schoolhouse and

The details of the affair are
shrouded in mystery. The deed was
done under cover of darkness.
Neither the names nor the number
of the perpetrators are known, but
it is said that all of the upper
classes were well represented in the
destruction.
There has been quite a feeling
among the students over the use OF
the German language in the school
ever since a state of war was declar-
ed between Germany and the United
States. This feeling became strong,
er when the state council of defense
ordered the discontinuance of the use
or study of German in all of the
schools of South Dakota. 1t was the
purpose of the school board and fac
ulty to discontinue the study of Ger
man at the conclusion of the present
semester, the study being continued
for that time in order that students
taking it might get their credits fol
the work already done this year
The students objected to this course
and the destruction OF the German
textbooks followed. There is nj
clew as to the offenders.
