The time was or has been when to a ay it rained sounded like news irom some far away clime, but not this spring. Logan McKee, son of Dr McKee.left lor MoDett, Missouri, last Saturday, to take a position in the leading drug store of that city. Hutchinson is still .0 have a band.

There are enough of the boys left to make a very respectable band and they are rehearsing. The republican county central committee will meet next Saturday to fix the date for holding their county nominating convention. A young man named A A. Thomas on bis way from the west to Virginia, died here Monday and was buried in the east Bide cemetery. We are informed that an infant child of Mr.

John Berry, of uear Arlington, was drowned in a slop pail last Thursday. This is a sad death. Yellow is not a good color to wear nowadays. It is the color of Spa'n and China. Neither people inspires the with great admiration.

Today, Thursday, is the day set for the congressional convention. Two Biundred and thirty delegates are expected, but Mr. Simpson will not be liere. The work of arranging the grounds and setting out the shrubbery etc. of the Santa Fe park is now Hearing completion.

We must now wait for nature to do the rest. Lieutenant C. 8. Gibbons from" Nick-ison, of Co. formed here, was sent money by patriotic citizens of to buy him a tword.

It is a band-domecompliment. "Captain" Ansbro, who has been one of Martin's best clerks for some time, left last week for Grand Island, where he will take a high position in Martin's big store up there. Leo Fox. who tried to enlist with the iband, failed because be was too light lor his beigot. His father, John Fox, the notorious Bock Island man, says lie la not sorry, though it nearly broke the boys hearty J.

VV. Gleed, the noted Santa Fe Sawyer of Topeka, will deliver the ad -dress to the graduates of the Hutchinson High School instead of Will White of Emporia, who was expected to perform that function. The city hotels and eating houses are making big calculations to entertain the big republican state convention. They are figuring on a long fight to nominate, and consequently a fat take. Well, that's all right for Hutchinson.

The wheat growers of Kansas are beginning to teel very much like plutocrats. A good crop last year, with famine prices, and if possible a better prospect for a crop this year with war prices of a dollar or moie makes them feel their oats. There was what is reported as a very interesting ball game Saturday between clubs chosen from the officers, and in-snates of the Reformatory. The game resulted 13 to 6 in favor of the officers. Is said there are several among both the officers and inmates who are very good players.

The probate judge has been at work this week recordiug the longest will -ever recorded In this county. It was the will of a wealthy Pennsylvanlan, and will be recorded in more than twenty-five Kansas counties where there is property belonging to the estate. As we go to press Wednesday after-moon, we are a little too early to report the graduation exercises of the Hutchinson High School which occurs Thursday evening at the auditorium. Will White ot Emporia, delivers the to the graduates, and it will no loubt, be good. The final orations of the 'graduates were delivered at the Central school building during the day Wednesday to good audiences.

The best riding and walking cultivator made. Get prices of Geo. McKln 3try Co. before you buy. The Band Went.

Just before goin to press last week word was received that the Hutchinson band would probably be made the regular band of the Twenty-firs' Kansas regiment, and stated that it would probably leave not iaterthan Friday. But the orders came sooner than expected so that it left Tuuisday on (he 0:35 train for Topeka. The boys seemed taken by surprise, or some of them at least who had agreed to go and were not quite ready for it Io was expected that twenty-six pieces would tootiu Topeka that night, but when it came to a show dowu, about balf the number went ad soma of them fa'led to pase the physical examination. We cannot b'iam the men with turn ilies for hesitating to enlist for it is questionable patriotism for sucb torush off to wai whet the eroergeney Is no greaterthan now. The on)y thing they can be criticised rorvis perhaps in do ing so much and too-loud1 talking about Governor Leedy taking the chance from them for go'ng.

by mustering out the militia, and then mukiug poor a showing when the opportunity is-given. Those hat did not ro seem' to-have met quite severe treatment as a result, by their friends and' acquaintances-, perhaps, all things considered, too severe. M. Watson went a day ahead of the rest of the band and was appointed chief musician; It is probable he did not feel very much elated at the way the boys responded. Those who went were Harry Scott, Charlie Vaughen, Leo Fox, Ike Woodi- row, Bob Ira Summers, O.

Metcalf, Norman F. L. Huxlable, J. A. King, from Caldwell, Lewis Vader rora Dodne City, a young man named Bums from Frank Kerr of the Gazette aud Robert Bea Some of them failed to pass the phys ical examination and returned.

As nearly as can be ascertained they were as follows: Leo Fox and Ike Woodrow. The following went but did not take the examination: Will Glanville, Art Greenlee, Charlie Greenlee and How ard Myers. For Sale.

II C. Owner. Henky Wilson, Salesman. War Ih Darktown. All the war is not with Spain.

Tues day night of last week, there was a bombardment with rapid fire guns not chronicled in the war bulletins, in which the seat of war was on Eleventh and Maple. However there seems to have been such a close press censorship by the combatants that the reporters were baffled and nobody knew anything about it till Monday, when about ten or a dozen of the belligerents rounded up all the eminent counsel of Hutchinson and got into Justice Campbell's court for the preliminary examination. From what we learn of the battle, one Elder Baimey, of some African church, was accused of making an indecent proposal to a twelve or thirteen year old girl, and ten or twelve of the young men of color went to bis house for a night attack to order him to leave town. The Elder heard of their coming, rounded up bis forces, and with two or three women and several male friends, prepared to resist. When the enemy arrived they were met with a shower of bullets, or the enemy met them with a shower, or at any rate it showered, though from which side first is perhaps a disputed question.

One witness testified that he did not hear more than about ten shots but Mrs. Elder Raimey in answer to the question as to the shots from the outside, replied with a bewitching smile "Law sakes chile, if you'd jes seen the bullets stickin' in the north side of dat house, from out aroun de barn where dey coujd hide good, guess you'd think there was some shootin." Asked whether she saw any indications of a shot gun being used, she said, "Well now I don't jes know as I saw any indications of a shot gun, but guessin' from de loos of de north side of that bouse, I think maybe they might have been one around some whar." It seems that the Runnery must have been somewhat Spanish fcr nobody was hurt, further than a small piece of skin torn from the ear of one darkey on the inside by being grazed by a ball. A young fellow by the name of Brock was the only one of the attacking party identified and the others were therefore turned loose. He was held to answer to the charge of assault with intent to kill at the next term of court. C.

Brown, both of Hutchinson, executed a very romantic elopement last week. They started out on foot and made a bridal tour to Sterling and other points in that dl rection, and made around south of Burrton where Constable Dick Hodge closed the tour by bringing the happy couple back to Hutchinson where they were married a day or two afterward The girl was only sixteen years of age. From Camp Leedy. In a letter from Kerr, who went with the Twenty-fhvt regiment band, ba sends for some cleun underclothing to be sent before fhev moved to Chicam inga which they ex pected to do Tuesday. Among othe things he says: I am writing this at the Rock Itriand depot, Icnme down, with my chum or A.

King, a fellow from Caldwell who plays cornet and joined us here. He and I sleep in the same eat together, and where one goes the other does too. Don't do like bis mother did when she packed his things, put in too night shirts with fine trimmings on. We can carry a grip a while any way and If it gets so we can't they1 will be taken care of We wilf not be equipped with new uniforms or shirts until we get to Clnckamauga, or if the order is changed they will be issued at San Francisco. I am getting along al right so far only my shoes are mtxfcly.

In a postscript he says: The boys here have named this "Camp Leahy. It fits better, for it has rained ten Jays out of the thirteen the boys have been here in camp. Miller, the grocerman, Is elrioe bronze hat racks, towel racks and wail 1 pockets to their customers. Bad for the Reformatory. Sunday nitrht eight of the bad men who were transferred from the reform atory to the penitentiary were returned here.

Among rhem was the notorious "bad nigger" Wade Thomas, who caus ed so much trouble when here. He also had several of his spells while at the penitentiaay. There are others among them little better. The statute passed in 1895, organiz-- ing the Kansas Industrial Reform atory, gave the board of managers full power to transfer incorrigible and insubordinate inmates to the penitentiary, as was done with these. There was no of authority granted in the statute, but a short time ago, one Den nis Dumford, who was transferred to the penitentiary, went into the appel late court to test the constitutionality of the statute under which the trans fer was made, claiming that the order for transferring inmates from an insti tution to which they had been sentenced, to another to which they had not been sentenced, was the exercise of judicial authority such as couid not be constitutionally granted to such a board as the board of managers.

The appellate court so decided and immediately the courts began turning these men out on writs of habeas corpus. Two, Dumford and another Lewis Murphy, were thus let loose and imme diately shook Kansas soil from their feet. The courts decided that they could be returned to this institution if secured by an order from the board of managers. The management had an officer at Leavenworth with an order from the superintendent, to net Murphy as soon as he was turned loose but the judge said he could only be secured on an order from the board of managers, and Murphy is now probably enjoying a more salubrious climate. The eight men brought back bere are among the worst men even at the pen-eteutiary, and their return is very demoralizing to the institution, They are men that Bhonld never have been sentenced here.

Some of them have served time in the penitentiaries of other states, are hardened in crime, and far past the maximum age for sentence here. As under present arrangements of the building the thhd grade or even these men can not be seperated from the others, it will require a tightening of the discipline of the whole institution which is not in harmony with the theory of the institution, and will nearly convert it into a penitentiary. Until this difficulty is overcome, so that improper inmates can be transferred, the judges of the state should exercise the greatest precaution before sentencing culprits bere, especially if they appear to be near the maximum age. The only solution of the problem at present visible, will be the passage of a law, such as was recommended by the governor and others and wNch came near passing the last legislature, placing all the penal institutions under one board, so that this may be legally considered a branch of the penitentiary. That may obviate the constitutional difficulty.

However the question will be passed upon by the supreme court with a possible chance for reversal, though it Is hardly expected. The decision of the appellate court seems to be law but it Is not good sense. The following are those returned: William Daily for burglary, from Beno county; A. M.

There are several reasons for this. One is, thaC they lived more in the open air, and another, and probably the most influential 06 all, is that they were less prudish than (he women of to-day. They were not ashamed to know something: of their own physical- make-up. They were not too nice to take care of their health in a womanly way.

Women now a days suffer untold tortures st silence, because of weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine organism, rather than consult a physician, or even talk-upon the subject to their own husbands. They imagine that troubles of this descrfption can only be curea oy undergoing tne disgusting examinations and local treatment insisted upon by the average modern physician. Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures all dis-eases peculiar to women in the privacy of their own homes: It dues away with the necessity for examinations and local treatment. It acts directly on the important organs concerned', making them strong, healthy and vigorous. It fits for wifehood and the burdens of.

household duties. It allays inflammation, heals ulceration and soothes pain. It tones and builds up the nerves. It banishes the discomforts of the time of expectancy and makes baby's ad-veht easy and almost painless. Thousands have testified to its merits-Over 1000 pages of medical advice free.

Y. Stryker vs. Kicker. Mk. Editor In last week's Gazette, there appeared, as the writer believes, a very unjust criticism of Superintendent StryRen, under the head of "South Hutchinson Echoes" and indeed it had the ring of a ''backwoods" echo The write believes Superintendent Stryker was right when he said the best teachers were leaving the school room to follow more lucrative occupations.

As the writer thinks over the past he remembers many excellent teachers of fifteen, ten, five and even two years ago who have left the procession" never to return We do not need, however, to go back to the past for evidence that- teachers are leaving the school because they are illy paid, for one needs to but look around him, observe the signs of the times, to oboerve the fact that there is an unrest an uncertainty among the teacbeis. The writer knows teachers who taught this year and for several years past who say they are done with teaching because they cannot gain a competency. It is true that wages are good for the novice for he cannot reckon all he re ceives In dollars and cents because he is gaining in knowledge, power and efficiency, the value of which it is im possible to estimate. After two, three or four years, however, he begins to realie that while he is vastly superior to what he was in the beginning, yet when he Is estimated in dollars and cents by their employer, the people, he la worth no more than at first. He Is no longer a novice but he must com pete with a novice who has everything togain and nothing to lose.

Therefore the efficient teacher who makes teach ing his business that he must do one of two things; either accept the wages of the novice or go without an occupa tion. If he accepts the wages he does so wih the mental resolution that it will be his last term of school. He is like a drowning man, be catches at every straw, and at last we find him following some other calling. As to beginners teacbiug just as good schools as an experienced teacher, the writer believes it is absurd. The writer has been teaching six years and never made a failure of it in the common acceptation of the term, but he is satisiied now, as he looks back upon his work, that he has made lust six.

He cannot help but shudder when he thinks of bis iirst term. The only things he bad on earth to recommend bim as a teacher were a relative, a good friend to the board, a determination to stick to it, (the school) and a third grade certificate secured by passing "a rigid examination." By keeping out of mischief, making friends and keeping good order begot the rep utation of having "taught the best school" they had ever had at that time. With the teacher's authority and the backing of the school board and par ents, anybody can keep good order; but good order Is not teaohing. It is only one of the favorable conditions for teaching. Anyone can turn brakes but it takes a trained man to run a lo comotive.

So with teaching. Superintendent Stryker sees the con dition of our schools and is doing all in bis power to make them better. Let everyone help. Instead of criticising everything he does let us weigh and consider. M.
