Council met in special session , Monday

cilmen ' Brown , Allen , Kay tind Eoj'd , and
Cleric i Kelley present. Bill of llerian & Des-
Larzes , S3 , rent of room , election day , refer-
.red , to finance committee. Bill of Night
Watchman Dewey , § 55 , allowed and warrant
ordered issued on occupation fund. The

and that all occupation tax licenses expire on

structed ; to draw up such ordinance and pre
sent same at next regular meeting of council ,

'
Page I T , . Francis as sureties , was approved
and filed.
Overloading tho Public Schools.
From the New York Sun.
The great mass of tho public demand no
more of the schools than merely rudimentary
J training. They do not want , they cannot af
ford the education that goes beyond ; and pri
vate institutions are ready to give it to the
comparatively small number who desire the
luxury. Meantime , too , the expense of pub
lic education is increasing at a rate which
alarms legislator and doubts
' , provokes as
to t how long the people will be willing to
stand its burdens.
Entitled to Increase.
Commissioner of Peusions Tanner , Friday
last , issued the following order , which will
favorably effect a large number of veterans
now on the pension roll :
"Whenever a pensioner is disabled in a
hand j or foot in a degree entitling him to § 24
per month under the act of March 3 , 1883 ,
such pensioner shall by reason of that fact
be entitled to the rate of § 30 per month uni
der the act of Aug. 4 , 18S6. This order is
made to carry into effect the principle enun-
ciated by the department Oct. 15 , 1887 , in the
case of Allen Cook , and again June 13 , 18S8 ,
in the case of Charles W. Harrington. "
OUR SCHOOL METHODS.
[ Minneapolis Tribune. ]
All young people feel the natural stirring
of individual life within them. They feel
the dwarfing influence of being pruned and
planted in trenches with thousands of others.
There is an instinctive motion within them
which craves its own soil and sun , and is en-
titlod to careful training , and wise encour
agement. The oak and tiie cabbage do not
grow in the same bed. But this is what our
|
school methods are trying to do , and the re-
suit must be to obliterate individual charac-
'ter and reduce men and women to the same
dead uniformity.
Subscribers Pay Up.
It is not the habit of the publisher to do
persistent dunning ; but there is a tide in the
I
affairs of men which taken at the flood leads
on to glory ; so there is a time in the life of
the publisher when a little cash seems to be
( | 1
necessary , in addition to glory. An urgent
invitation is extended our delinquent sub
iis
scribers to call at once and settle up. In
other words we must have some money.
The Publisher.
An exchange has caught the proper idea
when it says that one of the freaks of nature
that ! a newspaper man runs up against every
once in a while in his travels is the man who
thinks that a newspaper should "pitch into"
somebody all the time. He would make a
J
newspaper a sort of a smut mill for some
body to dump his suspicion , ill-feeling and
slanderous gossip into. In nine cases out of
ten 'these fellows are cowardly , and would
not make complaint against any man to his
fBce , but they would rejoice to see the newsS
paper man peddle out their miserable yarns
for them. The time for such business hapily
lias gone by. The newspaper man is not
quite such a fool as some people he encounti
ers imagine.
A young woman said she was bom to be a
farmer's , wife because she engaged in milk
ing when an infant , and took to cradling
J
early. Later she cut up and shocked her
parents and filled her crib. At an early age
she learned to sew , and she had cultivated
her acquaintance with a young agricultural
ist , and as soon as she placed her affections
she intended to "make hay while the sun
was shining. " This was too much for an im
possible tiller of the soil , so he gathered her "
up into his arm and garnered her. Ex.
Topeka , jKansas has more churches than -
any city of the same size in the country , and
has not a single saloon or drinking place.
There were four years ago 240 saloons in tho
city , and before the whisky element could be
convinced that "prohibition would prohibit , "
•
over § 25,000 in fines were collected from sa-
loon keepers for violations of the law , and
over thirty of them suved in the county jail.
Afloateb : It is pretty safe to say thatj
the man who has no enemies is no good to a
community. A man who takes a firm stand
for the right is bound to have enemies. The
only perfect man who ever was upon earth had : ,
enemies. Dcu't flatter yourself that if you , .
have no enemies , you are a perfect man. It _
is only an indication that you are shirking
dutj and responsibility.
"HEAi.Tir , independence , a taste for work ,
the esteem of worthy people , love of society ,
talent < , knowledge of business , moderation , a
tendency ( to aid the unfortunate , and thecom-
panionship of an amiable woman , " have been
desiccated as the conditions of making men
happy 1 in Uiis world.
