No appointment has been made to fill his place. Three of the Judges, Waite, Bradley and Miller, are eligible to retirement, but there is no probability of their doing so soon, as they prefer to earn $10,000 per year rather than be pen-' sioners to that amount. Ex-Justice Strong is the only living retired Judge. Justice Field is the only Democrat on the bench. He is the longest on the bench of any of them.

He was appointed by Lincoln, at which time he was on the California Supreme bench. Justice Bradley is the wealthiest, supposed to be worth $750,000. It has been the custom for the Court to call upon the President in a body on the first day of their session, but the President was absent this year on his Western and Southern tour. These Judges have the most honored position in the United States, and there is no higher place in the world than the Supreme Court bench. Salem Hall.

Willie Scholl has been having the chills. S. T. Wheatley and son started West last Tuesday. The "Busy Bees" met at Josh Harrison's Saturday afternoon.

Miss Mollie Watkins, of Lane, visited at James Forgey's Sunday. A party of young folks attended the Dunkard meeting east of here Sunday afternoon. Mr. David Britts and wife and Mr. Henry Davidson, of Ladoga, visited friends in this neighborhood last week.

DIXIE. Richland Items. Bad colds and sore throats are all the style. The Dunkard communion services were well attended. Mrs.

C. W. Watkins, Mrs. J. A.

Smith and Stella visited at Paola and Osawatomie Saturday and Sunday. Several of our citizens are as witnesses in the case of Stringer vs. Stringer, which will be tried this week. Although G. D.

Barkalow can not make a speech or see the "nub of a joke," it is believed that he will make a good sheriff. Mr. and Mrs. Prichard and Mrs. Morgan, relatives of John Morgan, of Greenwood County, are here ing.

Mrs. T. B. Cone is home again after a month's visit with her parents at Delaware, 0. We expect an engineer from the Parsons Pacific railroad through here soon to ascertain the best route for the road through our township.

Pat Lovett is back in old Richland, gathering corn, hunting his dog and booming Uncle Davy Anderson for county commissioner: George Anderson has become a permanent citizen of our town, having purchased the Froelick farm. We welcome all such honest, industrious citizens to our midst. A. 0. Cody has received his pension at last; an act of tardy justice to a deserving veteran.

The amount is $6 per month. The Democratic caucus Tuesday evening nominated the following ticket: Trustee, George Wingert; clerk, William Oldham; treasurer, William O'Conner; constables, J. A. Price and J. A.

Smith. A very good ticket. Should these gentlemen be called to the management of our municipal affairs we will be well served. The caucus did not think the road overseers of enough importance to nominate candidates. It is true the office doesn't pay big, but it is an important one, one in which a man can serve his fellow-citizens to good advantage.

So long as the office is held, in such light estimation we will not have good roads. Any office is an honorable one if well filled. "Honor and fame from no conditions rise; act well thy part, there all the honor lies." ALPHA. Baker University. Died -October 9, Mrs.

Reed, wife of Dr. Reed, formerly pastor of the Wellsville charge. Died--October 9, Mr. Will Limmer, at his home in Leavenworth. Mr.

He Walks Abroad Upon the Face of the Earth and Takes Notes by the Way. side. In my meanderings during the late past and the now present, I gleaned by close observation some things which 1 will elaborate upon as follows: At home or abroad, whenever I have met with or overheard the conversation of a man who knows any thing about Wellsville, I have heard nothing but commendatory things said of it.

One man will say: "It is a good little town of about five or six hundred inhabitants, located in one of the best sections of country west of the 'Father of has some of as rushing and well qualified business men as are found anywhere, and the returns of business done at that town exceeds many places twice as large. the best point between Ottawa and Olitthe." And so the facts are not exaggerated when we boast a little about the town and country around and reputation they have. We dropped in at the depot a few days since and found J. D. Smith, of the famous and ubiquitous Smith family from Smithville, very busy.

Some times, he says, he is rushed to the uttermost to take care of his affairs and get every thing out on schedule time. He has a new table with three instruments upon it. But the latest and most important improvement in his office is a coupon ticket case. He has tickets to points east, west, north or south, via all principal lines, and will sell them at the same rates as they are sold at other coupon offices. I spoke for a ticket to the land of "pancakes and honey" and am anticipating a high carnival and happy meeting with my wife's folks before the robins nest again.

It so chanced that I had business in Wellsville last Saturday and while blundering around, gazing upon the two story buildings and noting the pretty display of goods in front of many of the stores, Sam Engler called my attention to the fact that Thursday's issue of the EXCHANGE was out and contained a considerable volume of news. After being assured that the copy would cost me nothing I proceeded to examine and peruse. Employing the deductive method I first observed the arrangement and mechanical work was excellent, creditable to papers of far greater pretensions and notoriety than the EXCHANGE. Next proceeding down the column below the editor's name my eye fell upon three tickets. I immediately sought the sanctum of the quill driver and demanded to know what sort of a conglomerated concatenation of political mugwumpery he was promulgating.

He was slightly confused and embarrassed; but collected his scattered wits, elevated his No. to the top of a fivefoot desk and proceeded to philosophize in the following illustrative manner: Said he: A certain physiologist in givthe function of the stomach, said: is not a chemical vat nor a stew pan, but a stomach! a and so, said he, in like manner, the EXCHANGE is not a political organ, a dynamite sheet or any thing of that sort, but a newspaper! a local newspaper! He referred to having made a "break" in his last, about the "still hunt" campaign, which he said, with developments since and even at the time 'twas written, had rather given away his ignorance and stimulated his caution, I have overheard in the conversations of some of the leading citizens expressions of a sentiment favoring the establishment of one or more Institutions of industry here. A broom corn factory is mentioned, as is also a cheese factory and factory for the making of sugar from sorghum. I will take notes again and report more fully upon the subject another time.

Connett Before the Franklin Connty Teachers' Assoelation October 15, 1887. The subject assigned to me is broad and comprehensive because it comprises the forces, habits and training which build up character. In a narrower sense and as commonly used, it refers merely to the means by which the teacher's authority is upheld and the order in school is maintained. Briefly, I shall try to look beyond the narrower view. The reason of discipline is founded upon the good of the school and the pupil, hence, any other motive i is entirely improper.

According to Chancellor Kent, the authority of the teacher, while the pupils are actually and constructively under his charge, is precisely of the same nature and extent as that of the parent. Kent records the common law, and as we have no statutory law upon this point, the common law governs. This authority extends to the use of even corporal punishment teacher and parent alike being responsible for the abuse of it. And here I want to enter protest against the popular, but thoughtless clamor against corporal punishment. But little sense and conscience is necessary to enable every parent and teacher to see the desirability from every point of view of ruling by love, by a magnetic and commanding presence and by appealing to 1 the better side of child-nature.

The intelligent patron of fame, whose entire code of discipline was: "No lickin', no larnin," would be an anomaly in these days. But from the extreme unwisdom of the past we have bounded to the extreme of the present. The teacher is placed in the schoolroom with forty or fifty pupils of as many different dispositions, varying from the innocent, confiding child to the turbulent and malicious youth, who is absolutely impervious to every influence except physical fear. And public sentiment, in too many cases, expects the teacher to govern that without using the very means, and the only means, by which he can be governed. Public journals, the publio generally, and even some teachers speak of corporal punishment as barbarous, a relic of the dark ages, etc.

Such people evidently think that wise old King Solomon didn't know what he was talking about. Some would suggest expulsion for the cases I have described. There are special arguments in favor of this, but in practice in country schools this does not work well, except in the most incorrigible cases; and chiefly for two reasons: 1. School boards have no moral right to exclude a pupil from educational advantages till every remedy, including corporal punishment, has been exhausted and found inadequate. 2.

A pupil may exhibit a rebellious spirit highly subversive to all discipline without committing the overt acts which warrant legal expulsion. Under the influence of public opinion and through fear of losing popularity, what wonder that teachers sometimes fail to do their duty in this matter? In the light of these reasons and my own experience and observation, I am forced to believe that Solomon's dictum, correctly interpreted and wisely applied, is the highest wisdom. Let us now consider some of the pleasant features of school discipline. The teacher must possess the excellences and practice the precepts which he desires his pupils to attain. No where in life do we find courtesy, a friendly interest and a correct measure of justice, more fully repaid and more quickly responded to than among children, and, best of all, these invaluable aids to discipline are within the capacity of every teacher.

In all matters of discipline the teacher must be sure he is right and success is almost certain. He thus fortifies himself, and in ninety-nine cases in every hundred is sustained by the public sentiment of the school. Keep your pupils busy and interested. To do this will require thought and ingenuity. Secure proper ventilation and your school will be wide awake and do better work and have better health.

No matter how high his qualifications, a teacher who does not give his pupils good air is absolutely unfit for the school room. Better pay him wages to stay out. Remember, in all your work you are building character as well as teaching the common branches; that, while both are important, the ratio of their value is as honesty is to arithmetic, as self-reliance is to geography, as good citizenship is to good penmanship. In the brief time necessarily allotted to this paper, I must curtail my enthusiasm for this grand subject; yet I can not desist without adverting to one point wherein many teachers are puzzled to know their duty, namely: Does the teacher's jurisdiction extend beyond the school grounds and school hours? It does. The American Decisions, vol.

77, citing Vermont and other cases, says substantially that the teacher's authority begins from the time the pupil leaves the parental roof, for school, till he returns. New Hope Items. Mrs. S. W.

A man was not long since struck while peaceably and unmolestingly pursuing a western direction, when a few rods west of Spring creek bridge, by an odoriferous atmosphere emanating from the direction of Will MalJory's swine incarcerator. FARMER. The Knights of Labor. The action of the Knights of Labor in their general assembly in refusing to meddle with the case of the condemned Anarchists, which action we commended in these columns a few days since, is receiving the hearty and cordial indorsement of the press of the country.

The honest workingmen of the Nation have organized 1 for the amelioration and improvement of the general condition of their class. They are most deeply concerned in establishing public order on a sound and just basis and in making the administration of public affairs honest and equitable with a due regard for the rights and interests of all. The workingmen are not destroyers, but builders; they are not levelers, but elevators. They do not find their true interests in dragging down others, but in raising themselves in honor and in giving to their fellows a fair opportunity to attain by hoporable means a reasonable degree of prosperity, to maintain their families in proper comfort and to rear and educate their children to be good and useful members of society. This is the mission of the workingmen's organization, and all this they can accomplish by a proper co-operation to impress themselves on the management of public affairs without neglecting their individual duties.

The workingmen as a class have nothing to do with a lot of condemned men sentenced to undergo punishment for crimes against life and order, and this they have most authoritatively declared. They have done well and their fellow-citizens of all classes can trust them to do their appointed work.Topeka Capital. Married. M' CULLOUGH-CATON.
