Hutchinson Gazette from Hutchinson, Kansas • Page 5

The Band Went, Just before going to press last week word was received that the Hutchinson band would probably be made the regular band of the Twenty-first sas regiment, and stated that it would probably leave not later than Friday. But the orders came sooner than expected so that it left Toursday on the 10:85 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 It was expected that twenty-six pieces would toot in Topeka that night, but when it cameto a show down, about half the nuciber went and some of them failed to pass the physical examination. We cannot biame the men with families for hesitating to enlist for it is questionable patriociem for such to rush off to was when the emergency de no greaterthan now. The only thing they can be criticised tor, is perbape in do1Dg 80 touch and too loud talking about Governor Leedy taking the chance from, them for going by mustering out the militia, and then making 90 poor a showing when the opportunity is given.

Those that did not go 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 Woodrow, Bob McMillen, Ira Summers, 0. Metcalf, Norman Totten, F.

L. Huxtable, J. A. King, from Caldwell, Lewis Vader from Dodge City, a young man named Burris from Burrton, Frank Kerr of the GAZETTE force, and Robert Rea Some of them failed to pass the physical 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 floward Myers. For Sale.

DUNCAN, Owner. HENRY WILSON, Salesman. War in Darktown. All the war is not with Spain. Tuesday 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 bave 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 Rainey, 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 his house for a night attack to order him to leave town. The Elder heard of their coming, rounded up his 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 18 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 could 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 looks of de north side of that house, I think maybe they might have been one around some whar." It seems that the gunnery must have been somewhat Spanish for 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. Miller, the grocerman, is giving bronze hat racks, towel racks, and wall pockets to their customers.

They Were Romantic. M. Chine and Pearl L. Brown, bota 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 direction, and made around south of Burton where Constable Dick Hodge closed the tour by bringing the bappy -couple back to Hutchinson where they were married a day or two afterward.

It is said there are seyeral among both the officers and inmates who are very good players. The probate judge has been at work this week recording the longest will ever recorded in this county.

From Camp Leedy. In a letter from Frank Kerr, who went with the Twenty-Arat regiment band, he sends for some clevn underclothing to be sent before they moved to Chicamanga which they expected to do Tuesday. Among other things he says: I am writing this at the Rock Island depot, I down, with my chum or rather, "Comrad" 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 for a while any way and if it gets so we can't they will be taken care of. We will not be equipped with new uniforms or shirts until we get to Chickamauga, or if the order is changed they will be iseued at San Francisco. I am getting along alright so far only my shoes are muddy. In a postscript he says: The boys here have named this It fits better, for it has rained ten days out of the thirteen the boys have been here in camp.

Miller, the grocerman, is giving bronze bat racks, towel racks and wall pockets to their customers. Bad for the Reformatory. Sunday night eight of the bad men who were transferred from the reformatory to the penitentiary were returned here. Among them was the notorious nigger" Wade Thomas, who caused 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, organizing the Kansas Industrial Reformatory, gave the board of managers full power to transfer incorrigible and insubordinate inmates to the penitentiary, as was done with these. There was no lack of authority granted in the statute, but a short time ago, one nis Dumford, who was transferred to the penitentiary, went into the appellate court to test the constitutionality of the statute under which the transfer was made, claiming that the order for transferring inmates from an institution to which they had been sentenced, to another to which they had not been sentenced, was the exercise of judicial authority such as could not be constitutionally granted to such a board as the board of managers. The appellate court so decided and immedilately 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 get 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 joying a more salubrious climate. The eight men brought back bere are among the worst men even at the penetentiary, and their return is very demoralizing to the institution, They are men that shonld never have been sentenced here. Some have served time in the penitentiaries of other states, are hardened in crime, and far past the maximum age for sentence here. Asunder present arrangements of the building the third grade or even these men can not be seperated from the others, it will require a tightening of the discipline of the whole inatitution 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 which 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 bardly expected. The decision of the appellate court seems to be law but it is not good sense.

the TANA ty, led more laborious lives the house(wives of to-day. In spite of this fact, they bore their husbands 'healthy, robust sons and daughters, and did not become weak, complaining invalids as a consequence. There are probably several reasons for this. One is, they lived more in the open air, and another, and probably the most influential of all, is that they were less prudish than the women of to-day. They were not ashamed to know something of their own physical make They were not too nice to take care of their health in a womanly way.

Women now-a-days suffer untold tortures in 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.

V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. Stryker vs. Kicker.

Mr. EDITOR--In last week's GAZETTE, there appeared, as the writer believes, a very unjust criticism of Superintendent Stryken, under the bead of "South Hutchinson Echoes" and indeed it had the ring of a echo The writes 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 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 observe the fact that there is an unrest an uncertainty among the teachers. 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 receives in dollars and cents because he is gaining in knowledge, power and efficiency, the value of which it is impossible to estimate. After two, three or four years, however, he begins to realize that while he is vastly to what he was in the beginning, yet when he is estimated in dollars and cents by their employer, the people, he is worth no more than at firat. He 1s no longer a novice but he must compete with a noyice who has everything to gain and nothing to lose.

Therefore the efficient teacher who makes teaching his BUSINESS that be must do one of two things; either accept the wages of the novice or go without an occupation. If he accepts the wages he does SO with the mental resolution that it will be his last term of school. He is like a drowning man, he catches at every straw, and at last we find him following some other calling. As to beginners teaching 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 19 satisfied now, as he looks back upon his work, that he has made just six.

He cannot help but shudder when he thinks of his first term. The only things he had on earth to recommend him 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 he got the reputation of having "taught best school" they had ever bad dat that time. With the teacher's authority and the backing of the school board and parents, anybody can keep good order; but good order is not teaching. It is only one of the favorable conditions for teaching. Anyonecan turnt brakes but it takes a trained man to run a locomotiye.

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