5. NOVELS. Recent arrests of boys for various crimes has had a tendency to injure the theory that youthful diabolism is principally due to the deadly dime novel, inasmuch as a large number of the offenders could not read at all. To be raised in an atmosphere of ignorance and depravity is quite as bad for the minds of children as misdirected education of the primary i kind. After all a good deal of rance is more dangerous thing than a little learning.

-Kansas Newspaper Union. --0--- Harry L. Woods, manager of the opera house, has secured the services of Miss Lillie Van Horn as pianist. She will preside at such attractions as need piano music. --0-- A number of boys and men went out to Rev.

Thos. Penick's farm to have a) coyote chase last Tuesday. One coyote was scared up, but was shot by Walt Burgess, which spoiled the fun. ---0- The children of the public shools may think because they crowded this year, it will be impossible to learn. That is mistake if every scholar applies himself or herself they will learn.

The teacher may not give the personal attention to each scholar like she would if it was not crowded, but that makes no difference for "where there is a will, there is a way." The schools will be crowded this year on account of not baving sufficent room. It seems the Wellington schools have bad luck every year, for when they were building the new shool house last year, it was crowded, and now the first ward school building is gone. If the saying is true "third time is charm" next year we will have a new school house in the place of the one blown down, and every thing will be working finely. --0---- The $4000 steam laundry owned by Cheeney of Norfork Neb. will soon be here.

Bert Chapman, baving recieved a letter from them stating they were packing up. -0- Profs. McClain and Bear are certainly good managers of boys and girls; for they assigned some five bundred children to their proper places in short order last Monday morning. Mr. A.

B. Lacy, a conductor on the Santa Fe and Miss Lizzie Mitchell, formerly of this city, were married at the residence of the bride's mother, near Corbin, Tuesday, Rev. Smith of Milan officiating. They will make their home in Wichita. Their acquaintances here will wish them well.

-0- The friends of Luke Herring, of the Standard, will be glad to hear that he is steadily improving and will return home in a few days..
