The afternoon session was opened with prayer by Rev. Shorb. Music had been prepared by pupils from the Grammar grade, but owing to the sickness of Miss Lila Hammond that part of the program was omitted. Mr. M.

C. Lint, to whom had been assigned the topic of "Current Events," gave us the latest news in the most approved style. The lesson in the teachers' reading circle was conducted by W. S. Collawn.

The recitation might have been better; it certainly could have been worse. Hereafter the teachers will meet regularly once every two weeks until the text book on the philosophy of education has been completed. Prof. Spangler's paper on the "Old and the New Education," didn't materialize, but the subject was ably discussed by Messrs. Sawyer and Davis.

Mr. Sawyer was especially felicitous in his method of putting things, his remarks creating a good deal of amusement and enthusiasm. Education isa growth; there can be no line of demarcation between the old and the new; the former merges into the latter. In the general discussion it was evident that the new education had come to stay. Miss Elizabeth Bartlow gave "A Concrete Lesson in Self-mastery." This paper was listened to with marked attention.

It showed that the author was a student of the new education, that the secret of good government in the school room lies in teaching the pupil to govern himself. The evening session was held in the Baptist church. Most excellent music was furnished for the occasion by the well known vocalists, Messrs. Hill and Sawyer, Miss Lina Robinson and Mrs. McMillan.

Prof. W. S. Belden, of Baker, gave a very entertaining and instructive lecture on "American Weather." The course of cyclones and anti-cyclones was shown on large maps and the method of forecasting the weather thoroughly explained. The cyclone passes along the line of low barometer, the anti-cyclone along the line of high barometer.

Storms originate for the most part in the northwest and move eastward or to the northeast; they move either along the Missouri, Mississippi and up the Ohio, or along the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence. Prof. Belden's address was a treat to all interested in this subject, of such vast importance to commerce and agriculture. On motion a committee of five was appointed for the purpose of securing for Morrill the forecast of the weather, made by the U.

S. Weather Bureau. Mrs. Collawn followed with a paper on "The Training of the Teacher," putting special stress on self-culture; the self-satisfied teacher and the teacher who works for revenue only is a positive detriment to the profession and to the children entrusted to his hap-hazard training. Every parent in this school district should have heard Supt.

Farmer's paper on "Our Debits and Credits with the Public Schools." The writer would be pleased to quote at length from Mr. Farmer's admirable paper, but as that is not at hand, the mention of a few important points must suffice. The teacher must not invade the home. The parent should do nothing to weaken the authority of the teacher. Slighting remarks about the teacher should never be made by the parent in the presence of the child.

What if the parent should say to his children, "you need not mind that teacher, he is unjust, and besides, he doesn't know much any how, if he punishes you, I'll make it interesting for him, etc." Such remarks would be as unjustifiable as if the teacher should say, "you needn't obey that father of yours for he is entirely too exacting, and as he is a disreputable man he is not worthy of your respect." It is a sad mistake for either parent or teacher to fail to uphold the authority of the other. The meeting then closed with a beautiful selection by the quartette.

J. S. Mohler of this city, officiating. The appointed time for these vows to be taken was in the evening at six o'clock and a number of invited guests were present to witness the nuptial ceremony. Miss Sallie Conner acted as bridesmaid and Mr.

Will Singer was groomsman. After the ceremony an elegant supper was served, from which several pieces of delicious cake were saved for the hungry editor, and we feasted on the same the next day. Thanks. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

Frank Kornbaum, our section foreman, has stepped into the ranks which have lately been filled by so many new recruits and boarded the train Monday for Hanover "to take unto himself a wife." The fortunate young lady was Miss Mary Buhr, of that city, and the ceremony was performed on Tuesday at 11 a. m. in the Lutheran church, the officiating clergyman being Rev. G. H.

Schnur, of Utah, a brother of the groom's mother. After the ceremony the wedding party repaired to the residence of the bride's parents where they partook of a sumptuous dinner that had been prepared. 'The groom is well and favorably known to the people of this locality and although the bride is not known to many here, her splendid judgment can be seen in the selection of a young man of such excellent character. They expect to make their home in Morrill and we gladly welcome them, with congratulations and best wishes for their future welfare and happiness. STAPLETON-STULL.

We learned of the marriage of Miss Hattie Stull and Mr. Phil. Stapleton on Wednesday evening at the home of the bride's parents east of the city. but were unable to secure particulars. They have our best wishes for a happy and prosperous married life.

THE SILENT MAJORITY. ANGELL. Thornton F. Angell died on Friday. February 14, 1896, at Atchison, aged 34 years, 2 months and 4 days.

He was born December 10, 1861, at Racine, Meigs county, Ohio, and united with the Congregational church at Laclide, Missouri, when in his 14th year. He was a son of J. C. Angell. who was a Lieutenant in the 9th West Virginia Volunteers, and his mother.

Mrs. Margaret Angell, of this city. three brother and two sisters survive him. He resided with his mother in Morrill for many years and was well known by a large number of our people, who join with us in extending heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved mother and relatives. The funeral services, conducted by Rev.

Brown. were held at the M. E. church of this city on Sunday afternoon and the remains were laid to rest in the city cemetery, followed by a large concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives. Six young men, Sons of Veterans, acted as pall bearers.

Harry son of Mr. and Mrs. J. I. Kyle, died at his home north of Seneca last Saturday morning, February, 15, at 3:30, of La Grippe.

The funeral services were held at 11 o'clock a. at the church near their home and the remains were interred in the Seneca cemetery on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Kyle formerly resided near Morrill and have many friends here who deeply sympathize with them in the loss of their child.

The Discovery Saved His Life. Mr. G. Caillouette, Druggist, Bearersville, says: "To Dr. King's New Discovery I owe my life.

Was taken with LaGrippe and tried all the physicians for miles about, but of noavail and was given up and told I could not live. Having Dr. King's New Discovery in my store I sent for a bottle and began its use and from the first dos began to get better, and after using three bottles was up and about again. It is worth its weight in gold. We won't keep store or house without it." Get a free trial at Davis Engle's Drug Store.
