MANUAL TRAINING
One of The Main Features to
Be Taught in a County
High School
Only a few recognize the great worth
of our new law authorizing county high
schools, unless they go to the trouble of
studying the law thoroughly.
In the first place we wish to call your
attention to that portion setting out the
studies to be taught in a county high
school.
That of manual training is alone
worth every dollar paid by any father
toward the support of the school, no
matter whether he be a farmer or busi
ness man.
Manual training is a term signifying
the systematic study of the theory and
use of common tools; the nature of
common materials elementary and
typical process of construction; the ex
ecution and reading of working draw
ings. The materials refered to are
wood, minerals, alloys and plastic min
erals. The study of tools, processes and
materials is the essential feature of
manual training, hence the incidental
use of tools without system for some
ulterior object is not manual training.
In this study of tools and methods,
the Sweedish Loyd was a pioneer and
as developed by Dr. Solomon of Sweden
has a world wide reputation. Manual
training, like insturmental music is
something to be taught, something to
be studied and learned.
Domestic science and art for the
girls is the counterpart of manual trair
ing. The mechanical arts, like other arts
which have been slowly developed by
study and research, should first be
taught in all its fullness by one who
has analyzed them into fundamental
principals and process and who is an
expert in teaching them.
One does not give a boy manual
training by turning him loose in a shop,
any more than he gives a literary edu
cation to a boy who could not read by j
locking him in a library.
To illustrate "the steel square and its j
use" is a two volume work and before !
passing in a manual training school,
the pupil must give an object lesson
and demonstrate with the square of
how to obtain the length and bevels of
all kinds of rafters, hips, groins, braces,
purlins, collar beams, jack rafters and
how to obtain the bevels and cuts for
mouldings, octagons, etc. All this
would be successfully taught in a county
high school.
Cade Rogers Again Heard From.
Many of our citizens remember Cade
Rogers, who was a familiar figure in
this city a number of years ago, and
who still retains many friends here. He
is now, and has been for several years,
an inmate of the Soldiers' Home, in
California, and has been a patron of the
Journal during the time it has been un
der the present management. Each
year regularly he renews his faith in
the paper, and a few days since he sent

Mrs. M. S. Burk, living at corner of
Third and Duke street, Plattsmouth,
says: "The quick relief from pain in
my back which followed the use of
Doan's Kidney Pills proved them to
possess remarkable curative powers.
For years I was subject to attacks of
kidney complaint and some of them so
severe that I would be confined to my
bed. Mo condition was so bad that I
could not even turn over while lying
down without grasping hold of some
thing for support. My husband pro
cured Doan's Kidney Pills for me at
Gering & Co. 's drug store and their use
absolutely relieved me of all pain and
inconvenience. I place great value in
Doan's Kidney Pills."

BOAT BOUND
FOR MONTANA
Capt. Chadwick, an Old Mis
souri River Pilot, Has
Charge of Graft
An old salt, for many years a pilot on
the Mississippi and also on the old Mis
souri, who has grown gray in the ser
vice of avoiding the bars in the river,
and the guiding the various crafts which
plyed the "Father of Waters" safely to
their wharves, Capt. Chadwick, a man
now past seventy years, came up the
river last evening in command of the
"Francis A." bound from Dubuque,
Iowa, to the Milk river country in Mon
tana. The "Francis A." was purchased a
short time since at Dubuque by Capt.
Nelson, who owns three stores in Mon
tana, in which he carries large stocks
of merchandise. It is difficult to get the
supplies that are needed and they have
to be freighted a long distance, there
fore Capt. Nelson took this plan of get
ting supplies to his stores.
The craft is a gasoline boat about six
ty feet in length and with between for
ty and fifty tons displacement, and ca
pable of carrying in addition about
thirty passengers. They have a crew
of about ten people, are loaded with
about fifteen tons of freight which is
being taken to Montana and which is
valued at ten thousand dollars. The
merchandise was purchased at Kansas
City and St. Joseph and an additional
amount, about equal to what they have,
will be taken on at Omaha.
John C. Tierney, formerly of Omaha,
where he was engaged in the saloon
business, was one of the crew. Once
some years ago, Mr. Tierney was elect
ed president of the Nebraska Retail
Liquor Dealers' association at a meeting
held in this city. The boat has- been
on its trip from Dubuque about three
weeks, having gone down the Mississip
pi river and come up the Missouri. They
are making about 75 miles per day. The
"Francis A." tied up at Rocky Point
over night and departed for Omaha this
morning about five o'clock.
The pilot, Capt. Chadwick, began his
his life as such on the Mississippi river
in 1858, and has been employed there
and on the Missouri most of the time
since. They are demonstrating that it
is possible for freight to be carried by
the way of the river, as in competition
with the railroads, for, had it not been
so, they would have waited until they
had gotten as far up the river as goods
could be shipped before they would
take on their cargo. Capt. Chadwick
says he has piloted numerous loads of
merchandise for Plattsmouth in days
long ago.

Accident at Weeping Water
A special from Weening Water under
date of August 19. says: "D. M. John- I
son and wife met with a serious accident
yesterday. They had driven to Manley
tr visit Peter Coon, who is very sick
ami when they started home a nut had
dropped from one axle and the wheel
came oft and threw them both out. Mr.
Johnson has a badly sprained ankle and
Mrs. Johnson was pretty well shakon
up but neither seriously injured. The
horse ran away when the buggy went
down, but only ran a short distance and
did no serious damage."
Returns From the East
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. McCauley returned
from about a week or ten day's visit in
Illnois, where they were spending the
time among the scenes of their younger
days, They were at many points in Mc
Donough county, where they had not
visited in many a year. Among the
places which they visited was Gales
burg, whic h has mads rapid strides in
the making of a city the last few years.
McCauley says he never saw the con
nections on the road quite so bad as
they are at this time. In his trip he
had to lay over at three places about
five hours each.
They Will Marry Today
This morning a fine looking young
man of about twenty-three summers,
Gilbert Wood Cheney by name, came
rushing into the treasurer's office and
made a hasty enquiry for the county
clerk's office, and was shown the place
by four very accomodating men. When
he got there he said he wanted a license
to marry. The gentlemen in charge of
that office escorted him into the county
judge's office where he was given a
permit to marry Mi?s Laverna Pollard
Barnum, just his own age of Union.
The prospective groom is a resident of
Red Willow county.
The Stork a Dandy
J. W. Thomas, of blackberry fame,
wore a smile as pleasant as is the first
rays of the sun in springtime, today, and
a smile, too, that would not wear off.
Not he alone was happy but Wm. Seay,
and his wife are rejoicing, for at a late
hour last evening, a stork, like a raven,
came knocking at their door, and presen
ted them with a pair of the cutest little
babies one ever saw. One a boy, a fine
fellow, and the other a girl, the cutest
bit of wee humanity one need wish to
see. The mother and babies are doing
well, and papa and grandpa well don't
mention it they are too well satisfied
for any thing.
Card of Thanks
An unusual card of thanks was left
at the office of the Atchison Globe last
week. It follows: "I did not issue a
card of thanks when my husband died,
but now that three months are passed
I wish to have one printed. I desire to
thank, not those friends who came in
when he lay dead in the house, and j
bustled around arranging the chairs and
flowers, and answering the door, but
those friends who have come in since
the parade was over, and who have sat
with me in my loneliness when they
might be with happier people else
where. I desire to state that few of
those busy before the parade have been
to see me since it was over."
