At the next meeting ot the school board they should consider the advisability of openmg the school grounds for toe benefit of the ehildreu. As things are now shaped, the children are obliged to play in the street and on the sidewalks of the city and thus obstructing the passage of travelers and making it generally lpconvemient for passersby. The public school grounds are amply large enough to accommodote all the children and they would appreciate such a move more than anybody, and if given a few rights would take more interest in their school work, A petition was circulated last spring looking to such a move and received a practical recognition so that the result from'it is partial opening of grounds but not enough. A majority of people are in favor of such a move, and the school board should take more than a passing notice of the wishes of the people in this matter. ' Prepare fur the Farmers Institute. Work. The time for holding the winter meetings of Farmers Institutes will soon be here. All who have attended realize the benefit to be derived from them. The information gained conuot be over estimated and it is earnestly hoped that the next institute will show a marked improvement over any previous meetings. Its usefulness is measured by the amount of energy and will power exerted by every member, and it especially is true of the assigned speak er. In giving our experiences we should carefully present such facts as we have them in our minds and our hearts become so filled that we talk it to our neighbors and urge them to go to the institute, get a program and muster up enough courage to get up and talk about such of our experience as we think will benefit our friends and co-workers, gnd not be afraid to ask questions on points on which we feel we need information, and thus we increase our sphere of usefulness as well as being helpful to others. If each farmer has an earnest desire to make our institute a success each one must make studioujt and energetic efforts, and be willing to give and receive instructions. We have yet much to learn; no one knows so little but that his knowledge would benefit somesone ~else. We find it to be a fact that new discoveries are found; better ways to cultivate, gather of 54 save a crop, or better ways to feed stock, make the soil .more fertile. We should make note of such facts and present them at the institute, and this can only be done by making previous preparations. The

work at home' should be left in such a shape that the entire session can be given to institute work. G. H Mabtz He Favor# Cuba. Congressman George W. Steele, in response to an inquiry sent him by tbe Wabash Plain Dealer, takes a decided stand in favor of the recognition of the Cubans as beligerents. Major Steele states that he has not given the subject careful attention, but he has learned enoogh to satisfy him that the in surgents are entitled to recognition and will vote for the proposition should it be presented in Congress. The readiness of Spain to recognize the Confederacy wilhin forty days after Sumpter was fired upon, in 1861, had much to do with the formulation of his opinion in the present crisis —Bluffton News. The major defines clear enough where he stands on the Cnba question, but the congressman who is to represent the people, should be able to say to his constituents, “I will present a bill in the next Congress, asking for the recognition of Cuba,” instead of saying, “I will vote for such a measure should it be presented.”

All partook of the dainty refreshments which were served. Tbe occasion being her twenty-second anniversary, which her many friends were truly glad to help her ma,ke merry by their presence and assistance in the pleasant pastime, all wishing her many more such days. With last night closed tbe session of the Y. P. E., of this Evangelical district. The meeting was one of pleasure and profit to those attending and should have been better attended by our people. The exercises were of that nature that all would have been benefitted thereby The number ot visitors from abroad took their leave this morning and ere this time have reached their respective homes, with the feeling that it was pleasant for them to have been here. The lecture of Bishop Breyfcgle at the court house last evening was a discourse that should have been heard by every citizen of our ciiy, and for those who were not there we will publish a part it yi our next issue, that they may read it and get some of the beautiful thoughts presented therein by the speaker.

Texarkana, Tex., Oot. 81.—Sheriff DilWrd and deputies of Miller county, who left Texarkana on the Iron Mountain cftunon ball yesterday afteruoon, succeeded in bagging the pugilistic game they were after.

They took this route to avoid any troublo that might arise at Malvern, had the Iron Mountain route been used. Both Fitzsimmous and Julian said to a reporter that they were ready for the fight, but could uot say when or where it could take place, as they were under arrest. Both denounced Corbett and tne Florida Athletic club for doing everything in their power to prevent and Stave off the light to a later day. They declared Corbett was not in condition now, and hence tried to put it off. Fitzsimmons said he was in fine trim and felt confident of easily knocking out Corbetts' ' He and was never iffnner formSt/Fitzsimmons gave his wifight now at lo3\pounds. He and Jnlian will e.aini the $52,500 forfeit today if they can get through to Hot Springs. Both appeared in good humor, though under arrest, and said it was useless to fret over such a thing, as it was unavoidable on their part. « Was Afraid of Corbett. Texarkana, Ark., Oct. 31. —Sheriff Haupt. and Deputy Sheriff Cooper, who were sent here to arrest the Fitzsimmons party and convey them in safety to Hot Springs, condemn the Australian and Jnlian, nis manager in the strongest terms. They say the wily Australian and his manager acted as though they wanted to be arrested by the governor’s officers, and that the Hot Springs officers were ejected from the sleeping car at Julian’s suggestion in order to get themselves into tne clutches of Sheriff Dillard, who represented the governor. It whs Deputy Sheriff Cooper’s opinion that Fitzsimmons, did not want' to get to Hot Springs.

Flghlers Go to Little Rock. Little IjtocK, Oct. 31.—Sheriff Dillard arrived with Fitzsimmons this, morning. The lighter and Julian were taken- before Chancellor Martin to answer the warrants, and will probably be put tinder peace btads. Corbett and Brady are expected from Hot Springs this afternoon on a similar errand. Information came through the governor’s office late last night that the reason Corbett is in hiding at Hot Springs is that he wishes to be there today so that Fitzsimmons can’t say he was not on hand on the appointed day. He will come out and be brought here this afternoon. Ticket Holders Notified. Little Rock, Oct. 31.— The agents who have been selling tickets in this city for the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight, last night notified ticket holders, to be in Hot Springs Nov. 1.

Austin, Oct.’3l.—Governor Culberson yesterday sent a telegram to Sheriff Smith of Tvler, auent the burning of the .negro rapist there Tuesday. The governor wired the sheriff that it was his duty to protect th4prisoner at what-' ever cost, and demanded of him an explanation as to why he did not do it. He further says that having failed in enforcing-the laws in this instance, he 1 trusts the sheriff will permit nothing to deter him from the performance of his duty in promptly arresting all participants in the mob and bringing them before an examining court at once. The governor adds that in case the sheriff cannot do this unassisted he will take pleasure in lending executive" assistance , at any and all times, hut that the mob must be apprehended at once. New Addition to the Navy. New London, Conn., Oct. 31.—Everything is being made ready on board the ram Kathadin. which will he given her official trial today.

| TO Him FA NT TKAINN. Im prove men ts are contemplated on j the Erie railroad which will bring the system up to a high standard and make it a fmniidable rival of the leading roads b-twoen Chicago and New York. In the near future it is proposed to expend a large sum of money in double tracking the Chicago & Erie road and laying heavier rails. Better equipments will be furnished, a new time card adopted and faster time made between the two cities. Semiofficially it is stated that the stockholders will endeavor to effect a consolidation of the different roads leased and operated by the Erie aud have the same name adopted on the entire system. While with that improvement they will stop all trains at this station, the report that they would run their fast trains through our city without stopping is all a mistake. Mr. DeLoug informs us that all trains will stop at this station. Wi»4‘OiiMln I.Htcr. Pembine Wis., Oct. 28, 1895. Editor Democrat: Sir:—According to promise I will try to give you a few items of our trip to the hunting grounds, which are nine milcß north of Pembine. We left Berne Oct 20th atone o’clock a. in and arrived at Pembine about eight o'clock a. m Oct. 22nd. There was nothing of importance transpired on the way worth mentioning. The weather was nice until we arrived at Pembine, where we encountered our first enow storm, which made the ground look a little white and we had a very cold night. The first night we only had one tent up and twelve of us slept in it The next morning we commenced to break ground and erect more tents and gather wood, so at present we are very comfoitable. The boys have been out prospecting and report plenty of game, but there has noon been killed yet. There are eight in our camp, viz: W C. and A. Glendening, Bob and Joe Brown, Clias. Watson, Chas. Fields, Ernest Spiller and G. W. Gates. The other camp which is about 200 yards to the south of us, is composed of the fol lowing: D. Runyon, H. Brokaw, A. Moser and C C. Cline. So you see we will make it lively for tbe game when the season opens By one ok tue hoys. A «

Since then he remained at the home of a laborer in the vicinity until yesterday, when a re laxation of his sufferings induced him to walk to town. The malady, however, returned, and he fell helpless. He said that he had held a position as conductor on the Nickel Plate road about seven years ago, but lately had been living at Decatur. A Journal reporter was informed by Superintendent Felts, of the county asylum, that Gal vin for shelter at the institution last Tuesday, hut stated that he was afflicted with rheumatism.
