SCHOOL NOTES.

Clare Jessen, who about two weeks ago, it will be remembered, was hurt while returning from a box-social, reentered school, Monday. She still bears some of the marks of the mishap. Glen Wishard has been confined to his room for the last week with rather a severe case of and sore throat. He is some better at present. Supt. L. H. Hamilton, last Friday morning gave an excellent talk to the High school pupils. He thinks the boy or girl is lucky who has something to do, besides school work. He showed that the obstacles in one’s path are really very often his greatest blessings. George Maines has quit-school to begin spring work on the farm. It seems to be a very hard thing for a country boy to stick to school after the first suggestion of spring comes, in the melting of snow, the first blue bird’s song, or the first summer like day. Last Friday afternoon, the senate of the high school held the most successful! meeting of the year. For the amount of business transacted it did credit to its namesake that more important (?) body, the United States senate. In the remarkably short space of one hour, immigration was not prohibited, Oklahoma was admitted as a state, the Philippines were not given absolute freedom and Cuba was admitted as a state. | The star debates of the day were by Joe Moosemiller and Alice Bates. It is interesting to observe, then, that the best speeches of the day were given by democrats. This is a period of the year when pupjls somehow discover that school don’t amount to much; that it really is wasting one’s valuable time to allow one’s self to be penned up in the school room. To get out into business and hustle seems the desire of most young people at this season. Along with this change of opinion, comes a fatigue peculiar to spring. The lessons are harder to get. “I can’t get the latin. I’ve tried and tried. I want to drop it. I know I’ll never pass. I just know it.” “That algebra makes me tired. I’m not going to be a teacher. I won’t ever use it. I want bo drop algebra. Zoology is such awful stuff. Too many notes to write. I want to this—l don’t want to—this. 800-hoo-hoo!” By this time the tears, big as Dutch doughnuts, began to roll down the cheeks of the discouraged. One need urge no further against the folly of giving up. Most 01 these complaints are touches of “the blues” mixed with spring fever. Cheer up! It will be all right in time, if ye faint not. Learn from Andrew Jackson. Obstacles like these did not make him discouraged: they only made him angry and anxious to fight them. Fall to, my dears. Take long out door walks, breathe deep, of the good fresh air of spring, forget your troubles in the work in hand.

Commissioners’ Court.

August Rosenbaum was granted a saloon license for Rensselaer. The application of Wm. Fry for a saloon license for the third ward was met with a remonstrance with a sufficient number of signers, and rejected.

Surgeon’s Knife Not Keeled

Surgery is no longer necessary to cure piles. DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve cures such cases at once, removing the necessity for dangerous, painful and expensive operations. For scalds, cuts, burns, wounds, bruises, sores and skin diseases it is unequalled. Bewqre of counterfeits. A. F. Long.

Court Notes.

Emory White of the vicinity of Parr, accused of shooting a quail out of season, was discharged owing to the non-appearance of the prosecuting witness, John Lakin. The latter had waited around thp court house for a day or two, and the case not being called, he went Lome and during his absence the case was called. For failure to appear he was fined a dollar and costs for contempt of court. A. Parkison appealed to the circuit court from the commissioners court against a ditch assessment of sll2. The jury reduced the assessment to slll 70 In the replevin case of Pearl Leach vs. Frances M. Leach, their personal property was divided, Pearl receiving $370 50 worth and Frances $l2O worth. The case of James W. Edwards and his nephew, James Edwards, of Remington, was set for yesterday. Young Edwards was arrested charged with stealing 98 bushels of oats from the farm of Martin Donahoe, in Benton county. Both the Edwards were arrested, but at first young Edwards confessed, and said that he alone was guilty, and that he stole the grain to enable him to pay a board bill owing his uncle. Later, on the plea of his mother to tell the entire truth, he made another confession implicating his uncle equally with himself. Another case set for yesterday was that of E. Stowers, of Fair Oaks, charged with stealing a stack, of straw. Barney Clark, of Goodland, was given a judgment 0f5240 against Wm. Beahler, as commission for selling a farm for the latter The cases against Commissioners Halleck and Waymire were thrown out of court. Mrs. Laura Smith was granted a divorce from her husband, John Smith, on grounds of drunkenness. Th- replevin hog case of Hugh Brusnahan and Charles D Lakin, on appeal from Squire Fay’s court, was tried Tuesday, and resulted in favor of Brusnahan. Brusnahan lost a hog last November and later discovered a hog at Lakins’which he claimed was the lost porker. Lakins’ claimed to have bought the hog at tbe Ducharme public sale and refused to give it up. Brusnahan brought a replevin suit and a jury in Squire Fay’s court brought in a verdict in his favor. Lakins appealed to the circuit court. The case was tried before Special Judge William Cummings, and a jury brought in a verdict for Lakins. The costs will be in neighborhood of S2OO and will fall on Brusnahan.

County Council Appropriations.

The county council met Tuesday and made a number of re-appropri-ations to pay bills of last year which were allowed during the year but the warrants for which were not called for. Among the new appropriations made was $3,000 for the payment of the tax-ferrets, $6,300 for the court house street improvement, including interest; and $175 to pay for the additional shelving needed in the recorder’s office, now stored in the court house corriders, on condition that this amount be accepted in full therefor.

The Fad Is Over.

Men’s shirt waists will not be so much in favor this year. The fad is past and men want something more endurable and serviceable and longer at one end for their use. The women are to have exclusive control of the shirt waist business and the next season’s styles and patterns are more attractive than ever.

Wallick Fined and Jailed.

J. Y. Wallick, a former resident of Rensselaer, who was tried last week at Monticello for shooting Elmer Reynolds, whom he found visiting his wife, was fined S6OO and sentenced to imprisonment in tbe county jail for a period of six months. A Monticello paper says that WaJlick’s testimony in substance was that on returning home the night of shooting he found Reynolds hugging his wife at the back door. Reynolds denied that he had indulged in any embraces; the woman admitted his arm had been around her waist. Walllpk’s farm hand testified he had seen Mrs. Wallick and Reynolds standing at the back door, saw Wallick shoot at Reynolds with a revolver and later fire at a buggy as it passed along the road from Wysong’s house towards town. He also saw some shots fired from the Wysong house and from the buggy. It was during the shooting in the road that Reynolds was shot in the hands.

For City Marshal.

The old original Ohiw. Platt is » candidate for marshal, subject to the Republican city convention. I was city marshal in 1881, 1882 and 1884. In 1882 I made a macadamized road One-half mile long from the court house to the depot 16 feet wide for 1331, and in the winter of 1884 the snow was 10 inches deep on the level and drifts from 3 to 4 feet deep. I invented three snow plows, two for the side walks and one for the middle of the .road I started one of the plows in the morning to Rabbit’s Reserve, another to Leopold’s addition and the third to the depot, and then all over town. All the side walks were cleaned by 9 o’clock in the mprninff and our children all went to school that morning. See what I have done for you. lam an expert on streets and roads, and can save you money and make your taxes lower. Your support is earnestly solicited.. Charles Platt..
