Car- rington sends us the following school notes of interest to our people: Supervision of rural schools fs one of the most vital questions concern- ing educational work in the state We are spending too much money not to have the work supervised by one who knows how to unily and sys- tematizethe work, Axsuperintendent will act as a stimulating agent at every point and put every teacher to doing hia best, It will pay. It is encouraging to know that there are 52 high schools in Missouri giving instruction in practical agri- culture, and that there are G27 pnpile taking this work, The teachers of these subjects have, with few excep- tions, studied this subject at our state agricultural college or at one of the normal schools under special teachers of this subject. There are 39 educational institu ione in Missouri doing some college work, In these there are 800 teach- ers and 9,879 students. 1t is impos- sible to divide the students into academic and collegiate, some of them are both, and the man- agers of some of these institutions have no yery definite notious of the dividing line. It is estimated that not to exceed 3,000 are above the academic or secondary schoo! grade In fixing salaries, it should be re membered that there are two parties to every agreement. The teacher must recognize that increase in salary means an increase in service and to ask an increase of salary on any oth erbasisiaunreasonable The district must recognize that @ poor teacher is dear at any salary, and that na- tural ability, special preparation and untiring zeal are necessary qual- ities of a good teacher and they com- mand good pay. Destroyed by a Mine. St. Petersburg, Feb. 16.—The Rus- sain second class cruiser Boyarin was blown up by a mine February 13 in the same manner as wae the Ruasian torpedo transport Yenisei. She had on board 197 officers and men, all of whom, it is understood, were lost.No details of the disaster have been given out. The report is confirmed from a private source. The accident was at Port Arthur. Public Sale. The undersigned will sell at public auction on his farm, one mile east and two miles south of Virginia, and 8 miles wost and 1% mile south of Butler, on MONDAY, February 22d, 1904, the following described pi erty to-wit: 4 good work horses, 3 | driving horses, 2 extra good work mules, 35 head of choice year- ling steers, 6 head of milch cows, 3 head of calves, 12 head of hogs, hecause Rudolph Caught. | “Rill” Rudolph has been identified sent up last month for robbing the M. K. &T. freight depot at Louis burg, Kansas, after making an un- successful attempt to rob the bank at Cleveland, Cass county, Mo. Ru- dolph will be remembered as the spectacular young criminal, who in company with Collins robbed the bank at Union, Mo., and afterwards killed Schumaker, a detective, who led a posse to arrest him for the erime. He was captured in Hart- ford, Connecticut, and broke jail in St. Louis in the middle of the after- noon. $2.500 was offered in rewards for his capture. Gorney’s picture was recognized as Rudolph, by Wm. Pinkerton, bead of that agency, and a detective was sent to Lansing prie- on who positively identified him. St. Louis otticers who had Rudolph in charge before he broke jail went to Lansing and contirmed the identify; the governor of Kansas will be asked to pardon him in order that he may be returned to Missouri and tried for murder His partner Collins, {6 awaiting execution in the St. Louis jail for the same crime. Virginia Items. We heard it and jotted it down, What happened in and out of town A. L. Porter has 200 bushels of Texas seed oats for sale, Last Saturday closed our mail route, which was established soon alter the close of the war from Butler to Lacygne, Kan., morning and evening. A number of years ago it was changed from Lacygne to Amorett, Now Amorett comes to Virginia and goes south three miles, then west one mile, then north two miles and then west into Amorett. Butlerroute No, 5 comes to Virginia, then north two miles, then east one tile and # hall, then south one mile, then east one-half mile, then rorth one mile, then east through the woody neighborhood to Butler, Our old muil carrier looked sad Saturday afternoon, tuking his farewell look at the country he had so long travel: ed over, the many friends he had made on his road from Virginia to Butler, but such is the way of the world. All things must nave anend- ing. We believe he will feel lonesome traveling alone on his Amorettroute after traveling with company mostly good looking, at that, Do not forget Elder Sharp preach- ing at the Christian Church next sunday, Feb. 21th, at 11a.m and at night. Last Tuesday night many of Miss Laura Park’s friends surprised her on her 18th birthday, Twenty of them got there’ and from the music they had a good time long to be re- membered by her and her many friends, Mies Elida Wetherspoon, of Phelp, Lawrence county, took dinner with Aaron Monday. She is preaching for two Free Methodist congregations there, and expects to take another one at Monett soon. Last Saturday afternoon the first message came over the new telephone line from Butler to Virginia. Mon- day forenoon several passed over it. Virginia is becoming a great city in trinkling of an eye, and when Aaron geta.a phone in bis office, the news will fly in every direction, Of course, he will hear more and will have more to write up. We think that the edi- tor of Tur Times had better be pre- paring to give the Virginia items more space, James I. Wolfe, of Burlington, Kan., visited his parents and attend ed the wedding of his niece, Miss Truda McKibben, to Allie Walker Wednesday evening, Feb, 10. They received many valuable presents. Willie Ruble is building a fine hog house. - John Foster, the road boss, is re- pairing the bridges B. F. Jenkins has re-shingled his house. Justice Hockett is keeping the town quiet, and Judge Wolfe is riding the old grey around. He is getting his court ready for action, as soon as the ground hog winter is over. The people who will move the first of March are taking advantage of the good roads, and are moving all they can. Aaron was at Virginia Monday morning tosee the change in the mail route. There was quite a number. Aaron will not give the comments made by the different parties. The Virginia mail came from Amorett, It said there is an end to all things. Aaron, =rlNow is the Time To go and see the splendid cheap lands in Northwestern Kansas. 2)| Don’t wait until it gets out of your farm wagons, 2 sets good work har-jreach. E.B.

Campbell left the first of the week for Prescott, Arizona, to accept |@ position with a mining and milling his brother, is general manager. The company has recently put in a ten stamp mill, which is running very satisfactorily. The Arizona Journal Miner says of this property: The company now has the bright- est of prospects for a very prosper- ous future, and if the property does not prove to be a steady dividend producer the Journal-Miner does not know where to look for one that will. Surely with conservative and eco- nomical management, such as now seems to be at the helm, there is no chance for it to be otherwise. The credit for placing the property where it is to-day is due to the hard work and good judgment of General Man- ager Ed. 8. Campbell, who has put torthevery effort to accomplish what is seen to-day.
