dt mor. w. wAssox. "Onward and up- ard is the motto of tlie age." "Our common schools, Oh! let their light Shine through our country's story: Here lies her wealth, her strength, her might; Here rests her future glory! John Gennidius, Greek Minister to this country, affirms that the Greeks of the present are as strong, physically, as their famous ancestors of classic times. But John is not a good exam pie.

Queen Victoria is the first English reigning sovereign whohas visited Flor ence since the time of the Crusades, when Richard I. passed through the city. For some years, the widow of Charles the Pretender lived in Florence. Florence sees but little English royalty. Wednesday afternoon, while hearing one of our grammar classes, our attention was attracted to the west of north, by a rumbling of thunder and a few "small clouds that seemed to be forming in that direction.

One of the clouds soon took the shape of a funnel, considerably broader at the top than at the bottom. For awhile It grew both in length and diameter, swallowing up as it were, the adjacent clouds and moving to the westward and gradually growing in lengh, but decreasing in diameter and presented an appearance not unlike that of a huge serpent crawling upward, then suddenly dropping downward as if to grasp its prey. It resembled, somewhat, a water spout, yet we are informed that it contained no water, only wind and nothing more. Ure got all the pupils out of the school building in good shape and in time for most all, if not all, to get home before the rain. There was no panic as a few persons seem to think, though some of the pupils were some what "nervous" about matters and things.

The teachers preserved their mental equilibrium very nicely indeed. The "cyclonet," upon the whole, was a grand and sub lime scene on a small scale. We watched it from its incipiency to its death and burial in the ethereal gases. It was one of these beautiful scenes wherein "distance lends enchantment to the view." The "kid" made us say in the last issue, "The school board, instead of "the school boards have ''struck" for better also "the school boards of the county will visit the Nor mal Institute in orderto get acquainted with the live ladies should have closed with "live teachers" instead of "live ladies." The "better halves" of the members of the school boards will please take notice of this correction. The regular meetings of the Chatau-qua Circle are on Monday nights.

The meetings are regular sure enough. The members, all, are present. Nothing keeps them away from their work. We asked some of the members if they would not go to a circus should one come along and show on Monday night and we got the answer, "We were here first and we patronize our own circle." Such effort as this is commendable and success to such tireless workers is as sured. Rain or shine, summer or winter, this little band can be found every Monday night, with it's president, J.

E. McMeen, wading into the various branches of literature and science, fully realizing that "Nothing great is" lightly won, Nothing won is lost; Every good deed nobly done Will repay the cost." The circle is perusing "German Liter-ature" now, which closes the work for this year. The next year will begin the first of September. All who are interested in a higher education are cordially invited to become members. Miss May Shelley, teacher of the sixth grade in the Kingman schools, made our school a pleasant visit last Monday.

She informs that each teacher in the grades at Kingman, will receive $50 per month next year. Miss Annie M. Harmon of the Pratt school has been granted a certificate by the State Board of Education to instruct in Normal Institutes in the state of Kansas. Pratt gets to the front. We got a conductor's certificate from the same examiners, but modesty keeps us from mentioning the matter.

AVe are keeping it still. The round trip to California can be made for S62. Pratt county should furnish several delegates to N. -E. Association.

Any one ean have the advantage of these cheap rates. You need not be a teacher. Just be a friend to a teacher, but this is asking a great deal of seme persons. We can have 30 days or 90 days to make heround trip. Kansas furnished the largest per cent of teachers to the N.

E. Association at Chicago last year, of any state in the union. We hope to see the Jayhawkers well to the front at San Francisco next July. Normal Institute begins June II. Remember the date.

Each teacher should make it convenient to be present the first day and the next 19 to follow. Regularity and punctuality are special characteristics of every good teacher. The person who misses the first, day, lose3 something he will not get at any other time iu the Institute, as there is a regular course of study mapped out for each day in each study. Bring whatever text book you may happen to have. It will do.

Those who would like for us to secure good boarding places for them -will please notify Supt. Axline or myself ana we will take pleasure in assisting you. Come early and make up vour minds to ert all the cood out of the Normal in four weeks that you possibly can. Come to work, not to loaf. Icstitute loafers are a "cyclonet" unto themselves.

Kansas had a larger enrollment at the Chicago meeting of the National Educational Association than had any other State in proportion to the number of teachers in the State.

Even Illinois was beaten on her own ground. Prof. J. N. Wilkinson, of the State Normal School, Emporia, says the prospect is good that W6 shall take the lead in the San Francisco meeting next July.

He is working up the Kansas excursion and every one who sees any chance of going, whether a teacher or not, should write him, to learn rates and attractions and then should go if possible, and thus help swell the brsom.Strtte Journal.

The State Board of Education was in session last week. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Principal of Normal School, President of Agricultural College, and the Chancellor of State University," constitute this board. Unknown Dead. From the Medicine Lodge Cresset, we gather the following in reference to the man who was found dead near that place last week. It may meet the eye of some one "who knows.

The body measured five feet and four inches; black hair; smooth face; small feet and hands; appeared to be perfect ly developed in every particular and no scars or marks of old hurts or wounds were found. The frontal bone of the skull was badly mashed and broken. likewise the bones of the face and jaws: in fact his forehead and face had been pounded. into a jelly with some blunt instrument. It can be imagined how badly his head was crushed, when it is stated that hen his head was raised his brains and pieces of skull bone run out into the river.

The hair had begun to slip from the head and it is possible that the tace had some on when body was put in river, but it was perfectly-smooth when taken out. The body wa? pronounced by physicians to be that of a man between 25 and S5 years of age. The clothing is described as a blue flannel overshirt, knit white cottou undershirt and drawers, black satinet coat and vest, striped woolen pants; two cotton handkerchiefs with red flowered borders. There were in his pockets a corncob pipe bowl, a small round looking glass, brass back, with advertisement of Wolf of Kansas City; a small tw blade knife. The sand bags attached to the murdered man's neck consisted of a flour and grain sack.

The flour sack was branded "Kansas City Milling Co. B- Brand." The grain sack had no marks, though it appeared to le a sack that had had considerable us3ge. It is known that the body has ben in the river for ten days, as it was noticed a week ago last Saturday by Mr. Magill's children and it is not at all improbable that it had been there ten days previous to that time. The children spoke of the strange object in the river and Mr.

Masrill sent bis boy to see what it was. The boy reported that it was a cloth with something in it, and gave it as bis opinion that it was a sack of pups thrown in the river a few days before by Joseph Wiley. Mr. Mazill did not pay much more attention to the matter, though even-time he crossed the bridge or went out to his pasture he could see the object in the river. It seems that the bundle attracted others' attention and finally Mr.

Wiley, thinking it was impossible for his sack of pups to create so much talk, determined to investigate. He went to the river Tuesday and pot Mr. Magill's boy and W. II. Love's little son to wade to the object.

The boys cried out that it was a man and at once pulled for shore. Mr. Wiley then went out and examined for himself and then notilied the coroner. Altogether, the murder for murder it undoubtedly was is a mysterious one. Already theories have been suggested, but there is no tangible clue as to who the murdered man is, or who his murderer oi murderers are.

The most reasonable theory is that the dead man was one of a party traveling through the country; that he was murdered by his companion or companions either near the spot where his body was found, or more probably, at some considerable distance away, and that his lody was brought to the place it was found in a wagon. The only thing against the ing the body is the trinkets in the pockets; theory of haul-finding of the they would in- dicate that the murder and depositing of the body in the river were done hur riedly. Kansas Senators. Senator Ingalls may be "vitriollic," "waspish," "acidulated," and the possessor of sundry other characteristics, but his bitterest enemies do not accuse him of lacking in mentality of a high order. The truth is he has a hat full of brains, and is withal au educated, cultivated and polished gentleman a booky man.

lie is not one of the blathering sort of fellows who can "set their mouths going and go away and leave them." When he has anything to say which is not of such frequency as to become monotonous he can find fine raiment in which to clothe his ideas, and he never has to talk to empty benches. Furthermore, he lias the entire and unbounded confidence of his state. That is where Kansas looms up. other state in the Union has as stiong and influential representation in the senate. It backs up its senators noi loyally.

Where else has there been an instance of a state indorsing in advance what one of its senators is going to say in the line of a verbal "roast? this what Kansas did when the known that Senator Ingalls was going to reply Senator Vonrhees. The Kansas people proceed on th tbeoiy that the men they honor by sending to the senate are e-ntitle-I t- the fullest measure of confidence, and that they can make no mistake in supporting tbein. Senator l'lunib is even stronger in his way than Senator Ingalls." He is the woiking rmml-er, and is powerful in the committee room and in ptnugbt debate on practical, questions.
