The Michigan Stove Company, Detroit, Chicago, Buffalo. I Full Stock of the Above SOLXD Martin, O'leil Co's. 11 First Door West of Howard's Gur Bargain List! FOR THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER. Teachers' trials teach en' cares. Teachers' labors teachers' prayers sorrows; teachers' girls; teachers' boys, These in every varying strife, Make the total of our life.

All hail to the teacher of the com mon school. The most patient, painstaking persevering and faithful of public servants. The greatest in importance the fondest in remembrance in after vears the least appreciated as time passes, ana the poorest paid for services rendered. We would our teach ers were better understood and appreciated by the masses, but we believe they are being so, as the people become more intelligent and better educated themselves Certain it is that those who are illiterate do not appreciate the advantages to be derived from educa tion, nor the pleasures the learned en joy. Hence wiey are neglectful of the education of their children and do not respect or venerate The Teacher." It is from this class that the worry and trouble and vexations of a teacher's life spring which furnish that excel lent drill of mind that is sure to result in self-government.

The higher the standard of education in ajciommunity, the higher will be the regard for The Teacher." The less the teacher's trouble and care and the greater the proportion of enjoyment in school work. A school free from trouble and worry of disciplin, or one in which the pupils deport themselves perfectly through self-government is delight, and can only be found in such rare neighborhoods as where the pupils are taught self-goveanment at home, and their parents are intellectual and appreciative of the teacher and his qual ifieations. But through all the lack of apprecia tion the teachers continue to "plod their weary way, "winning the love and favor of first the jiupils and then their par ents, until in tune they will succeed in educating the masses, secure respect and elevate the Nation. Mixer Some In the northern portion of the city is an excavation, about 300 feet in width by about 400 feet in length, and perhaps 12 feet in depth. There is usu any several leet of water in the exca vation and it is therefore familiarly known as the A short distance south of the pond is a relic an old boiler that about 15 years ago was em ployed to drive the machinery of the ochre brick works that were then in op eration.

The machinery consisted of this boiler, its engine and a machine for pressing the pulverized ochre. These brick were burned in a'somewhat similar manner of ordinary brick. The pressed brick works were operated for several years, and large quantities of brick were shipped to various portions of the state. The Osage City savings bank building (now occupied by the Osage county bank) was the only one built of these brick in the city, nearly all the buildings erected at that time, being constructed of pine. These brick when properly made proved to be of very excellent quality.

Like many temporal things, these works came to their end, being destroyed by tire sometime during the summer of It may not be amiss in this connection to mention the names of some of the men that were connected with this and other enterprises during the early years of the city. The first that comes to mindas that of John F. Dodds; enthusiastic, communicative and energetic always ready to originate some new enterprise and just as willing to abandon it when established. Mr. Dodds was the founder of Osage City, Through his efforts the Osago City savings bank was organized, the "pressed brick company" and a company to quarry flagging stone.

He also laid out three additions to the pity Dodds Boyd's, Dodds', and Dodds Martin's. Closely connected with Mr. Dodds, is the name of Samuel C. Heriott, dignified and reticient. Mr.

Heriott was connected with the pressed brick works and several other enterprises. The names of C. P. and W. H.

Dodds, then energetic, young men, A. S. Sprague, and Maxwell will be remembered in connection with this and other enterprises. Allowing the above brief notice 'fit the brick works and those connected with them to suffice, we will return to the excavation. It was from this excavation that the material from which the brick were made was procured.

At a abort distance below the surface in the northern part of the town, is a bed of excellent ochre. This ochre bed, which is very extensive, is said to be 20 feet in thickness. The ochre only, was employed in the manufacture of the brick. And now the question arises, why has not this valuable bed been utilized during the past fifteen years In this bed are the materials for the best of brick, lor paint, and for excellent earthenware. Is there any other town in Kansas that would have failed to develop its resources as Osage City has done Call on Dr.
