CURRENT EVENTS.
As all the foreign newspaper corres
pondents have been denied permission
to accompany the Japanese army on its
march northward in Corea, war news,
so far as details are concerned, is ex
ceedingly scarce. The situation, how
ever, has not undergone any material
change, and the Japs say that nothing
important will transpire before the
28th inst.
The weather and the roads are bad in
Corea, and the Japs are advancing
slowly, but they seem to be flanking
the Russian positions, and the latter
are retreating, burning the towns as
they go.
The Jap fleet at Port Arthur occa
sionally amuses itself throwing shells
into the town, at long range; while
another fleet is scouring the sea, hoping
to find the four Russian warships that
escaped from Vladivostok.
The terrible earnestness of the Japs
in this war is illustrated in a late dis
patch from Tokio, which read as fol
lows:—"A woman at Takaski. on learn
ing that her only son was exempted
from active service on the ground that
she was dependent on his earnings, im
madiately committed suicide by plun-
Sing a dagger into her heart. Before
er last breath she handed the wenpon
to her son, making signs that she ex
pected him to use it against the enemy.
Pocketing the dagger the son hurried
away and volunteered for active ser
vice. "
The Russians are said to be assem
bling an army of three hundred thou
sand men near Laio-Tung. north of
Port Arthur.
There was "something doing" at both
ends of the National Capitol, last week.
The Senate Committee continued to
probe into the secrets of the Mormon
church, and the facts brought out were
that the governing board of the church,
of which Senator Smoot is a member,
practices polygamy in spite of law. al
though Mr. Smoot personally is an ex
ception; that the church still believes
trine, although the "revelation" con
cerning them has been suspended for
the present. It is the claim of the
prosecution that Mr. Smoot cannot Ije a
good citizen while he is in sympathy
with the apostles who rule the church
and defy the laws of Utah.
The evidence ought to convince every
body that an amendment to the Consti
tution. placing the marriage and di-
~ vorce laws in the hands of the National
legislature, is called for, and while the
amendment machinery is in operation
another, making the election of Presi
dent and United States Senators by the
popular vote, should go with it. There
should also be a national charter law
governing all interstate corporations.
For three days of last week the Hou*e
at Washington, was in an uproar over
the Bristow report. It was a case of
"much ado about nothing," and it came
about over a resolution offered by Rep
resentative Hay calling for an investi
gation ot the connection of Congress
men with the postal scandals. From
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow came a mass of stuff which the
Committee on Postoflices and Post Roads
passed along into the House.
Whoever it was that got up this re
port in the Postofflce Department was
certainly an artist. He connected about
one hundred and fifty Representatives
and some Senators with the department
in one way or another as asking favors
for constituents, and the manner in
which the story was sent out to the
country made it appear that all of these
members of Congress were "giafters,"
E which was unfair, and which was vig
orously resented.
Report of the County Auditors.
P Though the County Auditors finished
their work by Saturday, the sth, their
report has become such a 'ponder
ous matter that none of the printing of
fices here could put it in type in time
for last week's papers, and it appears in
our columns, this week.
The warrants redeemed by the Conn
ty Treasurer, last year, aggregated
|07,059 32; the state tax forwarded to
the State Treasurer amounted to $ 18,-
980.81; sinking fund, treasurer's per
centage and balance due, makes a grand
total of $136,837.93.
The largest items of axpense are those
for new bridges, bridge views and re
pairs, etc., which aggregate #50,413.03;
pay of jurors, elections, improvements,
salaries, dockets, repairs, and board
ing prisoners.
The county is in good shape, financi
ally. as it has about SIB,OOO in its treas
ury, and three times as much more
due from collectors, etc.. while its out
standing bonds and other debts amount
to but SIO,OOO.
The warrants redeemed by the Coun
ty Treasurer for maintaining the Coun
ty Home and the poor, aggregate $24,-
8*12.59, and these with the nmounts set
aside for the sinking fund, the Treas
urer's percentage and balance on hand
amount to $41,103.05. The largest items
of expense were salaries, insane and
hospital accounts, out-door expenses,
provisions, out door relief and insur
ance. SII2OOO in Poor-district bonds
are yet outstanding, and deducting
amounts dne from collectors and bal
ance in treasury, the county yet owes
SBO,OOO for its poor house and farm.
"Peter Men."
While five strangers were eating their
supper at a vacant house formerly oc
cupied by S. Mong, in Forward town
ship, a mile east of Evans City, on
Wednesday evening of last week the
house was suddenly snrrounded and en
tered by a lot of P. R. R. police; the
strangers were covered with guns,
arrested, handcuffed and taken to Alle
gheny, where they were held for a hear
ing, and next day were committed to
jail for trial. The charges against them
will consipt of a long list of burglaries
and robberies of railroad stations, in
cluding some cases in this county.
The leader of the gang is said to be
an old criminal named "Peter," who
has served eeyeral terms, the R. R.
police have been after him for some
time, and but lately learned that he and
his gang called "Peter Men'' were liv
ing in an abandoned coal mine near
Evans City.
Early Educational Method*.
I was a pupil in the first free school
established in our neighborhood, in
October, 1837. As the law then stood a
board of directors would manage the
school affairs of the township, levy the
tax. pay the teachers, pay for fnel. etc.,
and when necessary erect new buildings.
There was a committee of three elected
in each sab-district: the duty of this
committee was to make the choice of a
teacher for their school, to see to it that
the school house was made comfortable
for occupancy, that fuel was supplied,
etc. The board of school directors would
settle the bills.
When a teacher presented himself to
the board for employment, having with
him the certificate of the committee, it
was the duty of the board, before em
ploying him, to have him submit to a
literary examination. He would usual
ly be sent to some clergyman or other
literary person of the neighborhood for
examination: the certificate that he
would bring back was always honored.
It was quite probable that some of onr
early teacheis were somewhat limited
in their culture. An intelligent farmer
wonld frequently take charge of hid
home school, as it wag usually open only
a few months. If he could maintain
good discipline and could retain possess
ion of a good pocket-knife, having one
small blade, kept sharp, with which to
"make" pens for the students, who
wonld always furnish the goose-quills,
could write "a plain hand—as he had to
write copies in their "copy" books
could use a good switch, three feet long
or more, he was regarded a good
teacher.
At this early period there were more
in the spelling classes than in others. The
"United States Spelling Book"' was then
used. In reading there was one class in
the Bible, another in the New Testa
ment: beyond this any one could bring
whatever reader he pleased,historical or
biographical. A reading class would
not infrequently have one pupil in it.
At this early stage of school develop
ment six days in the week were taken up
in the school room. It required little
time to arrange for the next week's work
I recall that on Saturday afternoon an
esteemed neighbor—a fanner, a -justice
of the peace and an elder in the United
Presbyterian church— would put in his
appearance, and by permission of the
teacher would take charge of the school.
He required all of sufficient age to com
mit to memory the Ten Command
ments, the shorter catechism, with se
lections from the Psalms and other
Scripture lessons, not forgetting the
Lord's Prayer.
All this was in an early stage of our
public school system. This religions
training would not be allowed at this
more adyanced period; and yet, in looK
ing back over that primary period,l can
not see where any harm grew from this
training of the young minds on these
moral lines.
Several years had passed before a
grammar class was introduced in our
school. I recall the incident; a class of
two was started, and we all thought it
singular that it was necessary to teach
people how to use the language to which
they bad been reared. I recall noticing
them at their grammar (Kirkham's).and
it seems to me I can yet see the teacher
as he is walking back and forth across
the room with his hands behind his
back, under his coat-tails; and as he
looks over towards the grammar class
extemporizing, "John—his book—John
—his book," with a generous smile.
It may be a surprise to some of our
present teachers to know that not only
late in the 30's, but early in the 50 s
male teachers received as low ns $lO a
month, and females from $lO to sl2 a
month. These figures would not do
now; everything in the business line
has changed. Verly little money was
needed then; many of the teachers lived
at their homes while teaching.
The most direct and radical change
that took place in the development of
the public school syetem was caused by
the law directing the election of county
superintendents This law went into
effect in 1854. I well remember the
meeting of the school directors of But
ler connty, when coming together for
the first time under the Taw, they met in
the basement of the Presbyterian
church, and Isaac Black, an active
school teacher, was elected! When it
name to fixing the salary a Baptist min
ister from the northern part of the
county moved that the salary be fixed
at SIOO a year. This brought the Rev
Fiudley— afterward president of the
Westminster College—to his feet. He
remarked that he deemed such a motion
an insult to the legislature that bad
psssed the law. The mover of the reso
lution replied that snch was his purpose
in offering the resolution as he felt ihat
the legislature had insulted the school
directors of the w hole State by provid
for the selection of an agent to look
after their official conduct
The salary was finally fixed at S3OO a
year, and I can truthfully Hay lhat no
superintendent of lat> r jears discharg
ed the duties of the office with greater
fidelity than did Mr. Black, traveling,
MS he did, on foot from one section ot
the country to the other as bin official
duties required. Just think of it, three
years' hard work —both physical and
mental-for which in return he re
ceived $900! —T homos Robinson in Pitts
burg Gazette.
WAR NOIES.
On Friday last the Japs, estimated at
200,000 were continuing their march
northward in Corea, and the Russian
scouts were retreating.
Yesterday the Russian war ships
bottled up in Port Arthur were repotted
to have escaped, and the Russians were
rushing troops to the Yalu.

State To Rebuild Bridges.
In 1813 a law was passed by the State
Legislature making the Connoquenees
ing a navigable stream from Butler to
its confluence with the Beaver. In 1805
a law" was passed by which the State,
on petition through the Dauphin Connty
Courts, agreed to rebuild all bridges
over navigable waterways which may
be destroyed by flood or tempest. Com
missioners Attorney E. L. Ralston
found the old law of 1813 after a long
search, and now the State will be peti
tioned to rebuild the McCalmont, Buhl
and Allen bridges, which will mean a
saving of about SIO,OOO to Butler Co.
