Former Rensselaer Teacher Pays Short Visit to Friends.

Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter, of Topeka, Kansas, some twenty-five years ago a teacher in the Rensselaer high school, came Friday evening for a short visit with friends and old scholars in this city. Today she is at the home of Mrs. Grant Warner and tonight and over Sunday she will be at the home of Geo. E. Murray, Mrs. Murray, then Miss Hester, and Mrs. McCarter, then Miss Hill, having taught in Rensselaer at the same time. It is doubtless known to most of her old acquaintances and ito many others, that Mrs. McCarter has followed literary pursuits for many years, having published a magazine for some years at Tokepa. Simultaneously she was writing and having published a number of books and these have been read and ardently admired by many in Rensselaer, while some have became the “best sellers” and have brought, both fame and fortune to their au thor. Among the best known are: “The Price of the Prairie,” a Kansis Indian story; “A Wall of Men,” “The Peace of the Solomon Valley,” and recently ‘The Master’s (Degree.” Mrs. McCarter’s visit here is to be very short, greatly to the disappointment of her many friends who have not seen her for twenty-five years. In order that as many may see her as possible Mrs. Murray has very generously thrown her house open for callers this evening and Sunday and doubtless this will af'ford an opportunity for many of her former pupils to meet her again.
