RPPINGRR Boots and Shoes, Fine and Coarse, 3 -r Common Schools The No np ariel commends the following-article from the Chicago Evening Journal to Its readers. It is full of sound sense, and we commend it to our board of education. A city official is In favor of teaching swimming in the public schools. As an original proposition this would be laughably absurd. Swimming is no part of a common school education.

There would be as much sense in teaching skating, or horseback riding, or lawn tennis, or the propulsion of the fiery bicycle, in the schools as in teaching pupils how to swim. But there is as much authority in the constitution for teaching any of these arts and accomplishments as there is for teaching foreign languages, music, drawing or any other fancy and ornamental branches of learning. The constitution of Illinois says "the legislature shall establish a thorough and efficient system of free schools, in which all the children of the state may receive a good common 6Chool education." It also says that all grants of money or property for schools shall be faithfully applied to the objects of such grants. Money arising from the sale of school lands and the investment of the proceeds, or from taxation for the support of schools, can not constitutionally be applied to any other purpose than providing a good common school education for the pupils in such schools. The art of swimming is not a part of a good common school education.

Neither is the acquirement of proficiency In any ancient or modern foreign language a part of common school education. Music, drawing and other accomplishments are not parts of a common school education. Every dollar expended by the school authorities for these objects is a misappropriation and misuse of the uud raised for the support of the common schools. A common school education is a term that is well defined by usage and by the ordinary understanding of the people. It means proficiency in spelling, reading and writing grammatically the legal language of the United States in arithmetic, but not in higher mathematics and definition can describe ex actly a common school education.

It is certainly not German, French, Irish, Indian or any other language not- recognized by the laws; it is not athletic exercises, nor the higher academical studies nor the fine arts. It would be just as reasonable to teach swimming in the Behools as to teach any of these accomplishments and arts not included in the old-fashioned branches of study peculiar to the common schools ot the country.

have been giving series of 10 cent entertainments each night this week at Hamilton's opera house, where g-ood music and Wizard Oil have been dispensed indiscriminately. Farmers should make a move all along the line for an earlier variety of seed corn. Last year all who planted an early variety secured a good crop. The subject should be agitated ami acted on before time for spring planting. A full attendance of members of young people Christian endeavor is requested at the Christian church Sunday, No 2e, nt p.

Boys and others who go gunning should bear in mind that farmers and their families in the pursuit of their proper business at their homes, do not onjoy showers of shot or etn'y bullets whistling about them.

Besides the law provides a severe penalty for such reckless shoot ing. Be earful and don't shoot near a dwelling or public highway. Dr. Jame Hedley's lecture on the "Sunny Side of Life," at opera house on the evening of theihli was well attended, and his subject treated in a very interesting mnnner. The ladies of the Library and Reading Room have secured some of the best material on the rostrum to till the course here this winter.

Al Front has just finished a two story addition to his house 1(1x32 feet, which makes a fine appearance. The carpenter work was done by Tommy Johnson and the painting by Mr. Hudson. The new building and repairs on the main one will cost about flfiiMl. Such improvements are very creditable to our city, and add greatly to its prosperous appearance.

District court convened here Monday, and Judge C. B. Graves being unable to attend on account of sickness. Col. Jas.

Redmond was chosen Judge pro tcm. and business moved right along in cleaning up the docket. Col. Redmond dispatches business promptly and makes an excellent substitute. Judge Graves hopes to be with us again Monday to open court.

II. C. Kellerman. deputy treasurer, informs about $350(1 were collected the first week after the new tax roll went into the treasurer's hands, and sheckels flow into the county till liberally, notwithstanding hard times. The stub book shows taxes paid up this year considerably in excess of last, demonstrating the fact farmers are making extra efforts topay taxes, and many of them are paying in full.

Take advantage of any opportunity to make buildings snug for winter. Mend windows and doors, and batten cracks; reset gate posts and hang gates; see that there is abundance of fuel prepared and ready for the cold weather which must soon come. There will be none too much time to do this without neglecting other work before December will be at hand, and it is easier sometimes to do a task when it may be done than when it must be done. Messrs Buell Morey finished closing out their grocery stock last week and David Grimes has moved his hardware stock in. This is one of the most central locations on Neosho street, and Mr.

Grimes has the spacious building well tilled with heavy and shelf hardware. He makes a specialty of the best line of hard and soft coal burners sold in this market. Call and see him at his new quarters. Chas. Adair, sentenced to 30 days in jail for stealing some ivory rings from Weaver's livery stable, escaped from the custody of the constable Monday morning about 4 o'clock.

He was under guard at the constable's house, and early in the morning managed to get out of the house after some of the family had got up to prepare breakfast. -Search was made Immediately but the culprit succeeded in get-tinsr away. A jail would save some of this business. The city council met in regular session Wednesday night and passed ordinance No. 82, (riving O.

C. Steele, of Cleveland, Ohio, a 21 year franchise for putting in the Brush Electric Light. He is to commence work in 90 days, and have the plant in operation in 180 from passage of the ordinance.

Both the incandescent and are lights will be put in by Mr.

Steele, who has a dozen different plants in the all of which are highly commended.

Last week we gave a bare resume of results in this county lor county officers; this week we give the official result, as declared last week Friday by the board of county commissioners.

In 15 Mr. Hamman was elected treasurer by a majority of 35 on a total vote of 3u79, while this year he beats Ballinger by a majority of 44 on a total vote of 2834245 votes less than were cast two years ago. In the first commissioner district two years ago, comprising Avon. Spring Creek, Le Roy, Hampden and Neosho Mr. Hamman got a total majority of 25, while this year in the same townships his majority was showing a net gain to him of lo7 by this commissioner strife shystering, engineered by the old gang for the purpose of bea ting the county out of the Motts shortage.

J. R. Garrett gets 44 majority, and the same sort of fight seems to have been waged on him by the old ring, who had promised him solid support. Wherever a bondsman was located he seems to have used his influence against Garrett and for the Democratic candidate. H.

B. Cheney leads the ticket with 763 majority, for county clerk; followed by W. H. Rudrautf for recorder by 376; J. H.

Shaw is elected surveyor by 305 majority, and Dr R. P. Douglass, coroner by 6uU: followed by W. H. illiams for commissioner by 130 majority.

Mr. Ballinger has made a splendid fight for treasurer, probably as good a one as any other Republican could have made under like circumstances, and has no reason to be disappointed at the result. He has demonstrated the fact that but for this commissioner deal he would have been elected, and it is no discredit to be defeated by so clean an opponent as Mr. Hamman. MARRIED.

Osborn by that clever artist of the brush, Dan Crura. The house is painted a bcautifnl buff or yellow, with cherry or ine-colored trimmings, making an excellent combination. The old building is 28x30, two story with dormer windows, and the new or main building is 18x26 feet, two stories and is provided ith 60 feet of porches and a bay indow. The first lioor is divided into a spacious parlor, bed rooms, dining room, hall, kitchen, pantry, and the upper floor to a handsome suite of rooms, including library, closets and clothes presses. The Doctor has put from to in these improvements, hich include a good barn, coal bouse and car-j riage bouse, and other buildings, all neatly fin ished, and the house is provided with a large dry cellar, well drained and ventilated.

More such improvements are in order. Friday of last week Miss Anna C. McMurphy of this city was awarded damages in court at Kansas City in the sum of S250 against the Chicago and Alton Railroad Company, for injuries sustained several months ago, while traveling on one of their trains to Chicago. With a quiet winter before us and plenty of leisure time, it is a good opportunity to talk up a canning factory. That -vacant building" of the Rehkopf Bros, could be utilized for this pu rpose.

Anderson county is realizing- a good dividend from such an enterprise, and Bur-liugtou ought to take hold of the matter and work it up. Let us pull for a canning factory right away. Golden Days. Vol. 8, No.

The new meat market of Gooderl Rees Is called the Buckeye market and it is furnished with the choicest line of fresh and smoked meats to be had in this county. Call and see them, in their new shop east of Mosher's jewelry store, Neosho street- Colorado and Utah potatoes are plentiful in market at tl per bushel, and they are very large and of excellent quality. Just now, when a few of our citizens have the California fever, is a real good time to purchase residence property. Purchasers will not be able to buy at present figures a few months from now, when they come back disgusted with the Pacific coast. Professsor Snow says that the wonderful agricultural record of southern Kansas is largely due to its growing season.

Its average length for twenty years has been from April 4 to October 19, in which usually appears no sign of frost. S. W.

Watt, of Toronto, Canada will deliver the second of the regular series of lectures in our city, on the evenings of November 27th and 28th, at Jarboe's opera house, aud a general invitation is extended to the public to attend, as the lectures are free. Mr. Watt is an able and logical platform speaker, and his lecture for Sunday afternoon at 3 p.

Nov. 27th is "Unbelief Its nature and Service to Mankind." On Sunday night. Nov. 27th his sublect will be Wherein is it Superior to Christianity." His theme for discussion Monday night, Nov. 28th will be; "Agnosticism, or Theism, Which?" The Nonpareil publishes the official election table as well as a full list of township officers elected.

Our readers will do well to cut it out and preserve for reference. Our new sheriff R. Garrett, has removed to town since the eleetion. Now that the election is over we hope defeated candidates will forget the asperities engendered during the canvass and come in and help form a pony purse to sink a shaft for coal and gas. This is a good way for working off surplus bile and securing tone to the liver.
