Pleasant township was the first school visited this week This is one of the best schools in the county in the way of attendance and good work. The pupils are willing workers and have sent in all the work left for them todo. Miss Anna Shouse is teacher and is one of our best in- structors and is doing excellent work for her patrons. At Prairie Rose, in Mound town- ship, the attendance is holding up well and all pupils are doing good work. Their winter term will soon close but they intend to keep the same teacher, Miss Vesti Rice, for the spring term. She is following and Jessie Oyler, Gladys Marshall and Florence Marshall spelled all the words given in the test. This school needs a few supplementary books for the library. The teacher and pupils of Liberty school, in Deer Creek township, are very much attached to each other and to say they were having a good Their work is pleasant and satisfactory in every | way.

Washington, Jan.—Although Sena- tor Stone did not reach Washington until the senate had adjourned he succeeded by telegraph in holding up the nomination of Oliver Neff to be postmaster at Nevada, Mo. Other- wise Neff’s nomination would have been confirmed Monday. Senator Stone said that he had re- ceived protests from citizens of Ne- vada against Neff. The nomination will be held up until the objections can be sent here and considered. Senator Stone also is informed that the office will not fall vacant until May. He will inquire into the reasons why it is thought necessary to nomi- nate and confirm a postmaster four months before the position is open.

The former governor will re- turn to St. Louis from an extended lecture tour, when he is expected to make a definite announcement. Lon Sanders, recognized as Folk’s princi- pal campaign manager, confirmed this information when seen Wednes- day afternoon. “Gov. Folk has never said that he would run for the senate this year,” said Sanders. ‘On the contrary, he has discouraged any talk in that con- nection, as he is anxious to bring about harmony in the party. “Will the governor consider the proposition advocated by several leaders to give him a Presidential in- dorsement?”’ Sanders was asked, “T don’t know about that. Person- ally, I believe he would make formidable candidate for the Pres| dency.

Ayers, of Tran- sit Bridge, N. Y., when his life was the spring term provided she gave satisfaction and they have given her the spring term so we presume the work is satisfactory. The pupils are very quiet and orderly about. their work and are as willing workers as one need want to find. The school board here would do well to buy a \few good library books for supple- /mentary work. Over at Willow Branch, in West Point township, they are good work- ers and spellers too. Ethel Julien, Jennie Lewis, Deva Holloway, Lillian son and Alma Sundquist spelled all the words used in the test. They will be heard from in the spelling «contest in March. They are going to try to win the flag offered on county graduation this year. They carried off this prize last year and are very proud of it. Prof. T. J. Wheeler’ is teacher.

The reading circles are doing well in most parts of the county but I ex- pect to turn my attention to this: in the future and visit each circle in the county at least once. Several teach- ers have asked if attendance at these meetings will be necessary for re- newal of certificates. T ean only say that most Supts. are going to require this but I hope that there are no teachers in Bates county who are willing to allow this to come against them. Prof. Conrad, of Reynard school in Hudson township has arranged for a lecture at the school house Jan, 28 at 7:30 p. m., by Prof, G. A. Theilman, of Appleton City, and a recital by Miss Jessie Domer of the same place. Mr. Conrad is going to give the peo- ple of that section a rare treat. Fell Through the Ice.

Walter Butler, 14 old, of Chitwood, has the distinction of be- ing the first boy to be arrested in this city under a recent act of the legisla- ture making it a misdemeanor for years minors to smoke cigarette. He was brought before Justice of the Peace Earll by Truant Officer Bittick on a charge of indulging ina cigarette on the grounds of the Jef- ferson school, The case was-set for trial at 10 o'clock this morning. The information against Butler was filed by J.C. Martin, janitor of the school. The law provides a fine of from $1 to S10.

Clay’s. A Forger at Nevada. The young fellow who has been cashing bogus checks in Nevada is the boldest individual who has ever visited Nevada, and he seems to have no fear of arrest. This morning Sam Pryor, the north side meat market proprietor, discovered the fact that, one of the clerks had cashed one of the worthless checks. The check was for $4.50 and bore the signature of C. H. Howard and was indorsed by Roy Baker. The name, Roy Baker, appears on all the four checks, cash- jed in Nevada.—Mail. tongue coated; emaciated from losing 40 pounds, growing weaker daily. | Virulent liver trouble pulling me down to death in spite of doctors.

Encampment Plans Changed. Jefferson Ctiy, Mo., Jan.—The Military Council of the Missouri Na- tional Guard has fixed the state en- campment this year for July 3 and made a number of important changes concerning the event. The council is composed of Adjutant General F. M. /Rumbold, General Harvey C. Clark, liams. They have a very fair enroll- ment anda fine attendance. Their work is very satisfactory to all inter- ested. The pupils respond well to any test given and are not only will- ing to work but anxious for the Opportunity. Prof. Smith expects to {enter Warrensburg Normal as soon /as his term closes in April. The Prof. is one of our most progressive teach- ers.
