This effectually disposes of the case which was commenced against her in the Omaha courts a little over a woek ngo, and the dead woman cannot be tried for her assault upon W. C. Brown. This assault, according to the story which the woman told during the L few oays, took place while Brown was trying to abuse her by kiokine her. She weighed 208 pounds and was as Strong as most men, so that when she took u hatchet and vsed it on Brown's head it was with telling effect. Brown lay at the point of deuth for a long time, and thinking that the case might turn out to be one of murder, ulin was arrested on this side of the river request of the authorities on the other side.

The schools of Council Bluffe have been operated in accord- ance with this theory for nearly a year vast and the results have been all that the fricnds of the plan claimed in advance Superintendent Sawyer i his first annual report, made three years ago, suggested that examinations be done away with and repeated the suggestion as often as ho con- veniently could, but it was not until the commencement of the second semesier of last year that the board saw through the same kind of spectacles as he and decidod to make the experiment. Prof. Sawyer was seen yesterduy und asked for a statement to the offects of the change and replied follows: ccordanc Prof, Sawyer's Views, “Although th fora satisfactor, the change h parents, teachers and pupils. because tho almost univers among them is thut the w is preceded by and followed time has been to trial test, I belie been satisfuctor limited that alike to 0 parents, sentiment iten examination ervous strain and irritability by nervous prostration. To toachers, because the work of rating pupils is ovenly distributed threuzhout the year, and not forced upon them with high pres: sure and confusion in the last days thereof. To pupils, because a large majovity of them profer to be promoted on their daily worl realizing that this is fairer thau the me! of basing everything upon one single ination, of centéring failurs or promotion in the answers to ten questions. So far as 1 have heard expressions of the city teachers the universalsentiment 1s that the character of daily recitations is much higher than under the old system. This 15 natural. Under the written minution system there is little incentive to duily work. Many pupils are_indifferent to study throughout the term. Knowing thut bromo- tion will be based solely upon their answers to certain questions. they reserve their en- ergies for the last month of school, when the cramming process begins. All this is avorded by a system of olass records, as pupils realize that they will be promoted or fail, just as their work every duy of the year is good or bad. 'his record system has many other ad- vantages over the written examination as a test for promotion. One of these advantages is that it bri the teacher into closer touch with her pupils, forcinug upon them a realization that promotion rests with them and their teacher, not with them _and the superintendent of principal. Here'is an in- centive to good daily work. Another ad- vantage of the daiiy record system is that it acts as a net to catch the, ciass of bright, quick pupils, known to overy experienced teacher, who, while rarely looking at a book, inz u satisfactory lesson, are never- theless able to slip through the holes in the examination net. The daily record thus promotes ounly the worthy. A third advantage of the record system 18 that it gives all pupils in our schools a standing, whereas, under the old system, only those were given a standing who were in school and examined. For example: A lady, who, in Junuavy last, moved from Council Bluffs to Chicago, wrote me, stating that her daughter requ d her per cents for the scholastio year 185000, with a v to entering the Uhicugo High school. An investizgation disclosed the fact that though the young lady had been a pupil hers almost an entire term, she had no standing because she had left school on account of sickness two weeks before the close of the semester. Uader the vresent system it is possible to give the standing of any pupil who has attended the Council Bluffs schools one week, one month or one year. At the same time, it is not to be inferred that no discrimination is made between absentees and regulur attendants. Absence must be limited to a certain period of the whole time, or promotion does not follow. The system of records used in our schools 18 not compli- cated, but very simple and easily learned.” Timely Warning Is given by the Boston Store as to time and place to buy reliable and seasonable merchandise. ‘We offer as special offer- ings while they last attractive bargains in the following lines 0Odds and ends in kid gloves, sold from all colors and makes, at 39c; c; scissors, all sizes, at 10e; 1,500 pairs of blankets, special, 62ic to $12.00, 36-inch heavy all wool twilled dress flannels 39c, worth 58c.

B, Brighum of Ohio severeiy criticised the speech of Sec- retary of Agriculture Morton the evening previous. ecretary Morton said that among the most dungerous and insidious foes that the American farmer had to con- tend with are the grangers' allsnces. The professional farmer was always a menace to the practical farmer. Mr. Brigham said that the only excuse for such words coming from the secretary ot agriculture was the excuse of profound ignorance, besides which the darkness of night was nothing, Jvery advance, every now invention of farm machivery, every experiment which hus been helpful to the farmer, he said, have been promoted by the grange, and that if it were not for the grange ana the alliunce the country would have no secretary of agricul- ture. Continuing his remurks. the speaker saud that agriculture was the grandest pro- fession in the world. If agriculture died, every industry died. He said that ne did not want the impression to goout that the farmers of this country were antagonizing any other interest. Those who had conceived the idea thut the farmer's hands were raised against those of overy class or profession made 4 great mistake. He suid it was a groat fault of the farmers of this country that they bad not more representatives in the national congress. If it had a good mix- ture of farmers congress would do some business, aud do it ia quick order. He also spoke on the equul ad the boys and giris in the country. He said: *“Theso furmer boys are the ones who are to save the nation’s life, The time will come when the political corruption will soread beyond the city und beyond the state, and when it does the time will be at haud when there will be a great struggle between yirtue and vice, betwoen right and wrong.
