' Blectrie A Well Deserved Compliment. | T he following is an extract taken | from a speech of Hon. W. M. Beck- | ner before the Joint Committee on education at Frankfort on the even- ing ot January 27, 1886, in which Mr. Beckneradvocates the revision o f the school laws, to contorm to the interests ot the State Teachers Asso ciation. Robt. D. Allen reterred to is Suprintendent of the Kentucky Millitary Institute, situated six miles ot Frankfort Ky., ong of the fore- most institutions of learning in the south. Col. Allen has been three times unanimously elected president of tne State Teachers Association. There are two classes of persons who claim to be1a favor of common schools—one composed of those who think they ought to te maintained for the benefit of the children ot the poor, and the other, of thuse who would have them good enough tor every element of our society, and who believe they are the surest guar- agtee of free institutions. ‘Robert D. Allen belongs to the latter class, and although himself at the head of « collegiate institution in 80 wise connected with the State, is devoting no small share of bis ener- gics, his talents, and his means to the creation ot a sentiment that will compel better schools for all the children of the commonwealth. I do not know any where a more un- selfish, a more zealous, a more effi- cient or a more disinterested —triend ot popular education than the Presi- dent of the State Teachers’ Associ- ation, whose earnest words we have heard this evening. I say this de Itherately, radically and from as ful! a knowledge of the public men of the State, perhaps, as anybody with- in its boundary possesses, Oppress- ed by domestic afflictions ot the most distressing nature, and burdened with cares sufficient to engage all thought and attention, he yet found time to conduct at his own expense a journal devoted to free schools and whose short, sharp his editorials tike drum taps or bugle calis to duty. Without charge to anybody he keeps were a short-hand reporter and a type writer constantly engaged in con- ducting a correspondence that reaches every county in the commonweaith. He is desperately in earnest, and has made his power felt in the develop- ment of a machine which radiates an imflaence for good in every direction. He is always manly, always vigor- ous, and always true. He desires no ofhce, and has no purpose to serve other save those which ought to _re- ceive the undivided support ot all who preter light to darkness. Such an association, presided over by such a man, and having such a purpose, should certainly be allowed to de- termine for itself the important ques- ton as to when and where it shall meet. It only asks that the last sen- tence of the gth Section of Article {V of the Common School Law shall be stricken out, and the situation be restored as it was two years ago. This being done will bring harmony and united effort on the part of those who are now pulling apart and who are engaged in a struggle that can bring no good to the people whom yeu represent, or to the work ot building up an adequate system of public schools in Kentucky needs the hearty, generous co-operation ot all its friends—whatever may cause dis- sensions in their ranks should be re- moved, and every encouragement ought to be given to the State Teach- ers’ Association, which is so nobly, ably, and faithfully striving to ac- complish the purpose ot its creation. I have for seyeral years attended the meetings of the State Teachers’ As- sociation, am tamiliar with its work and aims, and do not hesitate to say that a refusal to do what is asked of the General Assembly would be a serious misfortune to the highest in- terests of our people.

Youth Who has Made Three Men Bite the Dust. —-—— Brownsville, Tex., March Marcellus Dougherty, a youth of 24, | born and raised in this town, is not | much to look at, but Saturday scored | his third murder. A short time ago | he was tried and acquitted tor killing | a negro ina bar-room at Laredo, | and released under bonds for the murder of a man at Cotulla. Mar- | cellus came back down toward his | old home, got on a spree here, rode through the streets firing a pistol, and shot a young girl through the ankle. Released from jail, he went up to Edinburg, where he made things hilarious by firing two shots | at a telegraph operator who dared to receive a telegram of contrary complexion in the county political fight to what Marcellus thought right. He smashea the head of one oppos- ing faction with a bucket, and a tew days later got on a spree, rode through town, shot out the lights in the restaurants, telegraph office and other houses, causing a prompt ex- tinguishment of all lights in houses all over town. He was arrested, and, as was thought, his only pistol taken away trom him, and jailed. As soon as inside he opened a lively fusilade among the prisoners with a pocket weapon, and it took two hours te get at him and get him out. On Saturday he went to a tandango at the Guajardo ranch, and calling out Pancho Garza, against whom he had ill feelings, he deliberately fired tour shots at him,one passing through A Texas 2 at the poor fellow’s body, causing his death last evening. The only excuse Doughtery gave for the murder was that Garza drew a knite and refused to putitup. He said he told him three times before he shot, as he was under bond, and did not car to have another killing scrape on his hands until he had the other fixed. Dough- tery was arrested, and while in the hands ot the constable some indig- nant Mexican shoved a knite in his | back. The blade penetrated the lung, but, to the general regret of the community, is not likely to prove tatal. The lungs are as much as the lite of the body as isthe heart. They are easily attected by climatic changes and need something to steengtheu them and drive away impurities. Bothof these Red Star Cough Care does: Itts sate and sure. Twenty-five cents a bottle, The “Rev.” Mungail Taken Care of By an Indian Jury. Vinita, I. T., March 5.—A tew davs ago a preacher named Mungall came to this vicimty and began hold- ing meetings. Last night he was taken home with one ot the brethren and when he thought everyone asleep got up and attempted an outrage on a little orphan girl sleeping with others in the room. The noise aroused an Indian named Run-About-Pig, who was sleeping with Mungall, and arising quickly he caught the scoundrel betore he cauld escape. Atter a briet consuljation the neighbors concluded to take the preacher out and try him before a jury. Ina short time the party returned with the information that the prisoner had escaped from them. Whether his escape came about by means ot a rope or a cartridge is not known. Killing in Polk County. Sovringtield, Mo., March special to the Herald from Bolivar, Polk county, says: An inquest is now befng held over the body of Sigel Swingle, who was shot and killed yesterday afternoon by his brother, Alonzo Swingle, a farmer ot Jefferson township, this county. Alonzo, who 1s now in jail, having surrendered himselt to the sheriff, tells the following story: He and his brother Sigel, were quarrelling when Sigel drew a revolver and fired athim. Alonzo attempted to run, until finding that Sigel was in hot pursuit and about to fire the second shot, he turned and fired killing Sigel instantly. He then came to this place and gave himself up. Shortly atter, G.
