This is owing to the enforcement of strict attendance rules, to close grading, and the co-operation of patrons. Pupils cannot (as a iew have learned by sad experience) b9 lrreo-ular in attend- ance and still keep up with their Classes. If a graded System of schools properly maintained, there is no good reason why pupils should spend ten or twelve years in acauinno- aL.

OCR BOW. The Saturday Record was established August 14th, It was "started as an experiment, and we rejoice to say, has been successful (as a business venture) beyond our most sanguine expectations. Jts success, thus far, is attributable entirely to the generous patronage of the public spirited business men of Russell. We haye issued five hundred copies weekly for twenty weeks, and have distributed them among the people 'without money and without Jt has been repeatedly suggested to us that we ought to charge a subscription for the paper, but fearing that Ave should not be able to maintain it permanently, we have, up to this time', feet no price upon it. We are "now convinced, however, that Russell and vicinity is abundantly able and willinc to support a Saturday paper, and that this little sheet is one of Russell's permanent institutions.

'We have, therefore, decided to enlarge it, change its name to Tiik Saturday Review, and call upon our friends to place their names upon our subscription books as regular and bona fide patrons and readers. Saturday Review appears to day a six-column folio, and in a neat newdress. it is a great improve ment, in appearance, over its prede cesser, the Saturday RECOi.D,and we trust that we shall be able to improve it in every particular. This will be our purpose, at any rate, ard to en able us to carry out this purpose, and present a paper that ill be creditable to the community, we earnestly Solicit the patronage of a wide-awake 'and generous public. Thanking our friends for past favors, and wishing all a prosperous and happy New Year, "we subscribe ourselves the public obliged and humble servants, J.

It also has a large display "ad" for the Ft. Smith road, of which the head line reads: "We Paint the Town Red." It certainly is a very appropriate motto, for it simply means that they have painted Russell 3ity with- the blood (money) of the balance of the county. Dorranc Nugget.

Oh, pshaw! Haffa. Now that the jig is up; now that all is over "and everything is lovely, and the goose i liangs high," don't talk so, please don't, it makes us feel bad. fThe following, clipped from an exchange, js more expressive than elegant: "And this is Ivansas, who a lit tie while ago sat upon her hunkers and viewed the world, but the world knew her not. She gazed at the great train of progress as it rumbled heedlessly by. The thought stabbed her, smd like a flash she seized: the raar rail of" the hindmr.st car and swung herself offyith the throng.

But shji 'was not satisfied. She slid along through, every coach, past baggage, express and all, and, seating herself on the planted her banner there. It bore these striking words: 4 Ad astra gloriam pokum That means lget there, Eli, through thick and that's what she did." and Stealing Snow Feiicei. On December 23, nineteen panels of snow fence were stolen from the U. P.

railway company 'about one and one-half miles west of D.brrance. On December 29, C. E. Bell, detective, arrived at this place and in search-ing for the stolen property found a portion of it about four miles south- west of here, and with Deputy Sheriff Manning proceeded -to, arrest the man "upon whose premises the stolen property was found. They brought the party to town where some one informed the prisoner that they had no -warrant and therefore couldnothold bn he got intc his wagon, "whipped up a in til warrant.

About half an hour after their prisoner had left, the officers started in pursuit of their game, armed with shot guns, ets. Upon arriving at the house of the person whom they were after the the officers found that quite a crowd of his friends were readiness for them, and it being dusk it was thought best to wait until morning. They then sent a message to aheriff Fox, who arrived on the morning train. All three cf the officers then proceeded to the place of excitement, and arrested two of the parties, took them before the ustice of the Peace Mr. Joy, where they had a prelim inr ary hearing, and were bound over unr the 7th of January.

The parties gave bonds for their appearance to the amount of $700 whereupon they were released. During the night previous to their arrest in the morninsf, all the lumber was put into a deep well, where it was found the Other arrests are ex- ipiiow. jjorrance iug-fjet. Railroad Talk. If rumors are to ba credited, we are to have stirring times in ivansas in railroad matters.

The present is only a triflle. It is said the Santa Fe will build through Morris county on the line of the Santa Fe and make that the through line from Kansas Gity west. And a prominent Union Pacific olhcjal tells the Clay Center Times that if the Hoar bill Hnno-rfiRS. relieving the Union "'6 -----0 Pacific of the immediate payment of its obligations to the government, and giving it permission to endorse the bonds of branch roads, on an equal footing with other railroad companies, that it will ''make things hum." With a great grandfather, and a grandfather, who were Presi dents of the United States, and a father who was minister to Englanc during the Rebellion, and who un doubtedly kept that government from recognizing the Southern Con-federacy, the present President has a name to maintain. The family must not decline, and the survivor has the opportunity to keep it in line with his illustrious ancestors.

If the Santa Fe builds to Abilene, the Union Pacific, which will soon enjoy a water level as far west as Russell, may wake them up with canal rates on freight. A line of road on which one locomotive will handle 60 and 70 cars, has an immense advantage over divide roads whose grades limit an engine to 10, 15 and 20cars. The territory of the Union Pacific has been invaded on all sides by rival roads, and it has been unable to protect itself by building feeders, because of the limitations growing out of its relations to the Government. It is generally understood that Mr. Charles Francis Adams has been gradually changing the policy of the road.

With the Rock Jsland twen ty miles south, and the Santa threatening it at variocs points, the road will be forced to more liberality toward its towns. The Union Paci fic can make the Kaw, the Republi can, the Smoky Hill and feolomon valleys the most wpjiderful parts of the earth. Junction City Union. It is to be hoped that the Hoar bill will pass Congress, and that the Union Pacific will "make things hum." We Want xhe New.
