shortly after supper far the purpose of taking a boat ride. After rowing for probably a half hour Farris proposed that they go in swimming. Perring agreed and they rowed to the mouth of the Kaw.

It is published by the well known Appleton Company and is a history of education in this country from the earliest settlements. While it is impossible within the iknits of a volume of this size to make a complete and exhaustive treatise, Professor Boone exhibits fully and clearly the development of contemporary institutions and educational forces, with something of theiv national setting. The author has made diligent research among existing records, and has included in his work all the important educational movements of two and a half centuries, showing their camses as well as their effect upon subsequent educational events, lie has covered the whole tield of elementary, higher, and special education in this country in a manner that will be greatly appreciated by teachers who have been waiting for a reliable text-book on the subject.

We understand the Christian church people were much pleased last Sunday with the sermons of Rev. Wm. F. Ross. He is a man of pleasing address, good voice and very impressive delivery. He appeals strongly to the conscience ot his hearers and illustrates his subject with historical as well as bible references. Mr. Ross holds the attention of his hearers closely rivited from the beginning of his sermon to the end. He would evidently be much liked by old and young. Archie McGinnis and J. F. Pittman have been re-appointed special examiners in the pension office for one year. If Corporal Tanner had to appoint Democratsgood enough.
