At the Inst meeting of the school
board the following rule was passed:
"If any pupil shall be absent six half
days, or' tardy six times during nny
time of thirteen weeks, written permis
sion for such pupil to remain In school
must be obtained from the superintend
ent by the parent or guardian in per
son, unless the irregularity be caused
by personal sickness, or serious ill
ness fr death In the family, when the
pupil must present to the superintend
ent a written statement to such effect,
signed by the parent or guardian. Tnr
dinws and irregular attendance are two
of the greatest hindrances to a pupil's
progress. It not only hinders his prog
ress, but also that of the whole school.
The number of males enrolled In our
schools last month wns 794, with an av
erage attendance of G!!.; This shows
that lou boys were absent each day. The
attendance of the girls was a little bet
ter. The above rule will cause the at
tendance of all. thus causing the forma
tion of good habits of punctuality and
regularity and progress. When a pu
pil has been absent or tardy the num
ber of times stated above, a printed no
tice will be sent by the teacher to his
parent or guardian requiring him or her
to apply In person before the superin
tendent. The object of this rule is to
promote nn efllclent co-operation with
the parents In securing the regular at
tendance of the pupils at school. While
this rule may seem severe, yet It Is
nmde In the Interest of the pupil, and It
is earnestly hoped that it will obtain
the hearty approval that a rule with
such object In view deserves. It will
go Into effect Monday, Nocember 9. N.

DEAD BY HIS WAGON.
A Gcrmau Dairyman of Wheeling
Myiteriouxlv Murdered.
Wheeling, W. Va.. Nov. 4. There was
a mysterious murder on a public road,
two miles from this city, today. Henry
Kiel, a German milk dealer. fi years of
age, came to town as usual this morn
ing, from his dairy, three miles out
the national road. He delivered milk to
his customers as usual.
About 11 o'clock he started home and
since thoti no one can be found who saw
him ulive. A member of his family be
came alnrmed nnd stnrted in search of
him. He saw the milk wa-Jron at the
roadside, the horse eating grass from a
fence corner. Kiel was not in the
wagon, but everything else was in Its
proper place, the money drawer con
taining the usual amount of change.
A walk of fifty yards brought the
searcher upon the dead body of Kiel
lying by the rondside with a big bullet
hole through the left breast, just above
the heart. There was no blood In the
waon.
The place where he was killed was on
Stackyard Hollow road, a thoroughfare
little traveled.
The theory of suicide is scouted. It
Is not known that Kiel had an enemy in
the world.Coroner Schultzo was sum
moned and ordered an autopsy and will
hold an inquest Thursday. The police
are completely baflled. Mrs. Kiel was
quite 111. and when she learned of her
husband's death, her condition became
critical.

Affected Area Smaller Thnn F.vpcctcd
but Still Very Great.
London, Nov. 4. The Viceroy of In
dia, the Earl of Elgin, cables the home
Government that in the Punjnub the
distress is expected mostly in the Cis
sutley portion and in Transkari. In
some tracts the autumn crops are
rather better, and in ' the Northwest
provinces the affected area Is smaller
thnn expected, but Included half the
population. The people are now eating
autumn millets. The distress will begin
about the middle of December.
Continuing, the Viceroy says that the
revenue-paying riee crops have largely
failed: that about a third of the autumn
taxation will, be suspended, 18 lakhs of
rupees will be advanced for seeds and
temporary wells und that excellent
effect Is expected from these relief
measures. In spite of this, however,
the Viceroy admits that distress is
feared.

Cutting up pranks with
naby is great fun for a young
mother. But beiore she can
cut pranks with the baby
she must have a healthy
baby. A puny, sickly, peev
ish baby has no use for
pranks. It lies in every
young mother's power to
insure the health of the ex
oected newcomer.
If she will see that
the organs which
make motherhood
possible are healthy
,and vigorous, and
will keep them so
during the period
preceding matern
ity, she may be sure
that the baby will be healthy and happy.
A marvelous medicine for young mothers
is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Taken
during the period preceding motherhood it
makes strong, healthy and vigorous the or
gans upon which rest the burdens of ma
ternity. It allays inflammation, soothes
pain, and restores steadiness to the nerves.
It does away with the discomforts of the
expectant period. It insures the health of
baby and makes its coming easy and almost
painless. It is the discovery of un eminent
and successful specialist, Dr. R. V. Pierce,
chief consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical institute, Buffalo, N. Y.
"I took Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
before mv confinement, nnd I wns only in labor
n Khort time," writes Mrs. Minuie A. reterson,
Box 5, Kaston, Frenno Co.. Cal. "The physician
said I gut nluug minimally well, I think the
medicine saved n great deal of suffering and I
get all my friends who need it to try it."
One of the best-known of American med
ical men said : " If you want to reform a
man, begin with his grandfather." That
would be wise if it could be done. Since it
cannot be done, try something else. Reform
the future grandfathers and grandmothers.
Do this through education. The greatest
thing for a man or woman to know is him
self or herself. To know one-half the capa
bilities and disabilities of the human body
is a liberal education. A good tnrt for this
education is Dr. Pierce's Common Sense
Medical Adviser. Any one can have this
finely illustrated touo-page book for the
small price of twenty-one one-cent stamps.
This is simplv to pay for mailing. If von
