Day April 5, 1889.—The above date + Arbor has been designated by the depart mont as “Arbor Day” for the state of Missouri; and it is the desire of your superintendent that the teach- (ers, pupils and patrons may co-oper- ate in making the day one of great benefit to the school districts of this state, by endeavoring to render their school yards wore attractive. On April 16, 1886, the first Arbor Day was observed in Missouri; two have been observed since; in 1888, the day was observed by 490 school districts that reported, and 9,736 trees were planted, while many were planted that were not reported; /;;)) many beautiful groves of trees now : { adorn school grounds that were bare i} and unattractive and would have re- mained so had it not been the observance of Arbor Day. If the matter is properly present- ed to the people by the teachers and pupils all will take an interest in its |} observance and every child will do- nate a tree, a shrub or a vine for the purpose. Have the children to plant and name their trees, and they will pro- tect, guard and cultivate them in the future. It may be argued that it will simply be labor wasted, as the teachers employed will not interest themselves in this matter sufficiently to protect the grounds from injury. Such teachers should not be employ- ed, for they are not competent to instruct, govern and train children; | nothing more plainly portrays the | qualifications and tastes of a teacher | than the condition of the fencing, out houses, trees and shrubbery on the school grounds. The teacher » who has no taste in this direction is | unfit to be placed in charge of chil- for Cast preteens Without discussing the matter further—believing all can under- stand and appreciate the benetits to be derived from such a movement— & plan of procedure is here outlined for those who desire to encoura the enterprise and assist in its cution, viz.: t 1.

Select some suitable person as foreman; let him have the planning, platting and general oversight in the planting of trees. A space should be left at the center of each side of the grounds. Plant the trees about eight feet from the fence and do not put them nearer the house than 20 feet distant. After the planting has been completed the trees should be pro- tected by something to keep the stock off, if the site is tioned in our nation’s history. exercise work in hand. 7 ‘ not fenced. Place straw, leaves or trash around trees to keep them moist about the roots during the summer. 8. The teacher or district clerk will please notify the county com- missioner what is done on this day, especially the trees planted, as my next annual report will embody this item, and they are the only parties who can furnish the desired informa tion. 9. If the school grounds are not enclosed by a fence, an effort should be made to have the annual meeting provide for thesame by giving due notice and voting a levy *for that purpose. (Section 7060.) In the hope that the day may be observed throughout the state, by teachers, children, ‘patrons and the public, and thereby render the grounds used for school purposes as so many pleasant resorts for the children and attractive to the passer- by, I subscribe myself.

Mr. Dye says there is a large quantity of counter- fell silver certificates circulating in Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska and Mis- souri; that Missouri is flooded with $1 counterfeit certificates and that the same state is filled with counter- feit $5 gold pieces which are heavily plated. He said that it was only by closest scrutiny that the chrracter of the $1 counterfeit could be detec- ed. The counterfeiters, he says, are reaping a rich harvest. The $5 counterfeiters, are well executed, but the work is coarser than the gen- | uine and a comparison with a good certificate v erence.

Sent up for Forty Years. Texarkana, Tex., March 20.—The Bowie county District Court now in session here has been engaged this entire week on the criminal docket. The most noticeable case disposed of so far was the convic- tion yesterday cf a colored man named Joe Robinson, one of the al- leged named McCarty. McCarty was confined in the city prison here on the night of the 24th of December last for disorderly con- duct and placed in the same apart- ment with Robinson and two colored women, who were confined there on the same charge. It was proven on the trial that Robinson held the white man, while the colored nymphs beat him with beer bottles. MeCar- ty died from the effects of the beat- ing. murderers of a white man Robinson had his trial yesterday, and was sent up for 40 years. Emma Logan, one of the colored women, had her trial to-day. Some of the ablest lawyers were assigned to her defence, but the details of the crime were so revolting that sympa- pathy for the poor creature was sti- fled. The jury retired at 7 o'clock, and after a short absence brought ina verdict of murder in the sec- ond degree, with punishment in the penitentiary for 25 years. The ac- cused is 33 years old and has two small children.

Waterloo, Ta., March 18.—The fa- mous Jones calf case comes up to- morrow before Judge Linham in this city on a motion by the defenee for a setting aside of the general ver- dict of $1,000 against the defendants and for a judgement in their favor upon the special findings of the jury. It is believed that the Judge will set the general verdict aside and the case will probably take one more trip to the supreme court on this mo- tion, and that will be the end of it. This case has been in the courts since 1877, and cost about $25,000, all over four calves of the value of only $45. “That Diaboheal Apparatus, the stomach,” is the energetic phrase which Carlyle applied to to his own troublesome organ of digestion. The great essayist was a dispeptic fron his youth; but had he used Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets he might have shaken off the incu- bus of digestion, “like a dewdrop on a lions mane.” And there would have been more light and sweetness in wnting and home.
