THE TRANSCRIPT ntei%d AS second-class matter at the post office at Austin, Minnesota. AUSTIN. WEDNESDAY, AUG. 1,1888 I SUTTON. Mrs. Shippel and ber daughters, ot Chicago, are visiting their friends, Peff and Studer's. Farmers are busv cutting barley now. The crop will be an average yield in this looality, but is badly colored. Married, on July 14,1888, Miss Anna Nohless to Henry Tiedeman. They have the well Wishes of their frieuds. Mr. Cas Fairbanks thinks seriously of at tending the democratic convention at ItDOb ester to nominate Wilson. Don't do it, Fair baaks, you are going in a bad. crowd and be sides Wilson will be suowed under in Novem ber. DEXTER Ode Prohibition tile perambulates. Harry Derr, of La Crosse, is visiting here. Mrs. Sloan, of La Crosse, is visiting at Q. D. retiree's. Ttvo tired looking Cleveland hats have Showed up. J. G. Seals has gone to Fouutain to see his best girl. Thirty Dexterites will go to Austin to hear Hotr on the 8th. Two meat markets and no meat. Will some one kill the prodigal. The Dexter ball club did up the Browns daios last Saturday, 13 to 9. G. D- Bearce has bought I.Loomis' interest in tl?e lumber business here. Twenty-seven Harrison hats made their ap pearance on our streets Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Waller of High Forest, were the guests of G. A. Buck on Sunday. Our Street Commissioner has just finished a now bridge near Hoppin's granary. We hear it rumored that there will be a change in the administration on March next. We understand that several matrimonial kntfts will be tied here in the near future. PROTECTION. LYLE. Mr. Skinner, who was formerly a landlord in Austin, has started with his family for southern Iowa. Hot, hot, is the greeting. Are we Ameri* cans not a queer people, always telling one another what they already know. This sort of weather with its usual attend ant of a duet of unripe fruit and vegetables causes many to feel indisposed. However since the measles have disappeared the doc tors are getting more rest. Dr, Cobb gets time to secure his honey, of which he has a good crop. We have had but one runaway of teams on our streets this week and that was the team of Mr. Bedford. He was in the lumber yard for a load of lumber and the noise of an en gine gave them a start that ended in a lively runaway. The wagon was left in pieces along the street and after running through a wire fence brought up in the timber east of town with scarcely a scratch. The most amusing part was the efforts of a drunken man to overtake them. He had just crossed the street so drunk as to just navigate. When the team started he broke into a run that was a great improvement on the walk,but covered a large part of the street. He failed to over take the team but gave us a large part of the Circus. How the campaign hats float about us. Haw appropriate the badge of mourning on the Cleveland hat. It seems providential. I wish I could give our third party men a pointer, that would set them to thinking. How can they help to destroy the only party that has or can give us reform. They com pare themselves with the Abolition party. Had it not been for the fact that the South were made so mad that they destroyed them selves, slavery would have existed to-day and have been extended over a much larger terri tory. Most of your readers have heard of the death of Van Camp. He and two other men were in the act of replacing the trucks under a car when the support gave way and his head was caught between the axle of the trucks he was moving and the step of the car. The top of his head was completely severed. It was a very sad affair. The afflicted ones have the sympathy of all. His family have returned to their home in Otranto. What a sad home. No lite insurance or pecuniary appropriation from the company can compensate for the loss they have sustained. Jo. BLOOMING PRAIRIE. (People's Press.) The W. C. T. U. will hold their annual meet, ing August 3, at 4 o'clock at Mrs. T. R. Symes. All the old members are expected and we hope to see many new. MRS. BRAINERD, Sec.

Zwiener is going to Odessa, Minn., to buy wheat for Messrs. Pratt Se Porter. FATAL POISONING. Mr. Joseph Herdina, a Bohemian who was working for Mr. Joseph Goodnature, was fat ally poisoned with Paris green last Monday. It appears that Mr. Goodnature and family left him with a sprinkler putting Paris green on a piece of potatoes, and went to Albert Lea to do some trading. When they returned in the evening search and inquiry were made for bim 1 Some of the neighbors saw him eat ing lunch about four o'clock and after con siderable search he was found at a hay stack insensible. They gave him some emetic and b« vomited Paris green. They sent for Dr Twiford, who administered more emetic, but the poor fellow was too far gone to vomit and died. The funeral took place Wednesday. It is supposed that he accidentally poiBoned himself while carelessly eating his lunch on which he may have dropped some Parisgreen. Kev. R. Washburn was in Blooming Wed nesday selling his celebrated Ironing tables, thirty-one of which be sold during one week. Mr. George Chesley, of Owatonna, will open a branch photograph gallery here in a few days. The farmers in this vicinity who have ex perience speak in the highest terms of Bran ning's three and four-horse eveners, and say they couldn't go through harvest without them. Master Frank Hitcbock fell and broke his left forearm last Sunday while getting off a wagon. Dr. Johnson set the arm and the patient is doing well. Mr. Martin Strate left for North Dakota last Thursday morning, being called thither by illness in his family. EDUCATIONAL. C. D. BUiOBN, BBITOB. /,"* False Syntax, BY sun. f. B. GAUIiT, PUKBLO, COLORADO. Since the "time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary" grammars, composition, and language books have contained a plentiful supply of what has been termed "false syntax," "errors for correction," and the like. The very last article I read in the very last number of the School Journal was a short review of a "practical rhetoric and composition," in which occurred .this statement, "Criticisms of faulty expres-, sions are required." It is readily infer able from this that a rhetoric, in order to be "practical," must parade its full quota of "faulty expressions" for "correction." Is this a scientific method? Has the cor rection of false syntax any considerable educational value? Are there not serious reasons for believing that such exercises involve not only a waste of time, but a positive injury to the student? I cannot state my proposition in a general way more clearly than to restate a suggestion,emanating from Col. Parker. In speakintr of the efforts of first prima rians in their written work, it was advised that the attention of the pupil should never be directed to his errors. It was urged that to call attention to a bad form, with a view to showing him how far he was from the correct form, resulted in so deeply impressing the poor form that in his very next effort he inclined uncon sciously to repeat his error the impres sion of the incorrect form being upper most in his mind predominated in bis effort. Promptly and quietly erase the mistake, then give him a correct model, impress that upon his mind and ask him to imitate it. His mind not being dis turbed by a misleading concept, now de yotes itself to reproducing the model placed before him. I hare ever since re garded it as a wise and valuable sugges tion, and have been highly gratified over the success we have had in its applica tion. It seems to me to be logical in theory and wholesome in practice. Now if this is a correct pedagogical principle —and if it is a correct pedagogical prin ciple it has its foundation upon a psycho logical law—in the domain of first prim ary work, is it not just as true, and just as applicable in advanced language work? The mere difference in mental growth and capacity does sot restrict the prin ciple to small children. Smart teachers have repeatedly told me that after exam ining many spelling papers and seeing certain words so often misspelled the in correct form of the word was uppermost in the mind, and only with difficulty could they decide with certainty as to the proper spelling. Who has not been mis led in the spelling and use of a familiar word from having seen it spelled or used improperly somewhere, having unconsci ously carried with him an impression that asserted itself on first opportunity? Is it correct teaching? Are not school masters the only class of instructors that use this method—teaching the good by emphasizing the bad? Does the music teacher give an incorrect model in order to inspire a pupil with correct notions of harmony, time, and rendition? Does the art teacher make hideous daubs and cari catures as aids to the student in acquiring the taste and skill of the artist? Does the housekeeper, when teaching her daughter the mystery of bread-making, purposely bake an unpalatable loaf and then say: "Daughter, this is not the kind of bread you should bake? Or the wagon maker very carefully put the tongue on the rear of the wagon and then say to his apprentice: "I have done this to impress upon your susceptible mind so you may never forget it that the tongue must al ways be attached to the front part of the structure where it belongs? Are these il lustrations more absurd than to expect pupils to acquire good English by hold ing up bad English before them and say ing: "This is the way you are not to talk?" Correct errors of speech as they arise in current class-jyork. Ever exalt correct models build them up in the minds of pupils. The rational plan is to dis possess the mind of all incorrect forms of expression, and as far as possible banish them forever. Teach good language by the constant use of good language and the careful study of pure and elegant models of our English.—Institute. Do You 8uffer From Rheumatism.

Arrangements Being Made to Have Them Speak at the State Fair. At a recent meeting of the State Fair managers in St. Paul, there was consider able discussion over a proposition that Hon. James 6. Blaine and Henry Watter son should be invited to attend the fair and deliver addresses. Each of the dis tinguished speakers would be given a separate day, and the attraction would, undoubtedly, call out an immense assem blage. Untimately it was decided that letters should be written to both gentle' men, extending them an invitation to be present, as well as Hon. Norman J. Col man, commissioner of agriculture. Inci dental to the discussion, it was stated that Secretary Robert Miller, of the demo cratic state central committee, when the subject was broached to ham of inviting Messrs. Blaine and Wattersoo to the fair, had declared that if such a step were taken he would address communications to every democrat in Minnesota decrying such an undertaking. 'But the people would come to hear these gentlemen," remarked President Merriam, "and surely we would not be accused of partiality if we had such rep resentative men of both parties as Mr. Blaine and Henry Watterson, the world renowned champion of the star-eyed god dess of reform. What we want to do is to bring crowds of people to the fair, and make it an object for them to come, and cannot suggest any better attractions than the two gentlemen whose names we have been discussing." The Great Land Enterprise. Energetic measures are being adopted by the Mexican Land and Development Co.. for the carrying out of the great enterprise to which we alluded in a re cent issue in connection with the Grant of Land it has acquired in the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico. The hardest of the surveying is alreadv done, and it ia esti mated that in a year 4,800,000 acres can be surveyed, of which the Company will take 1,600,000 acres. The land has navigable rivers, and har bors, and coal, and dense forests of fine timber, and petroleum, and precious metals, and other minerals but suppose it had nothing at all except the bare land, and suppose that it does not bring more than the $1.25 per acre, you might figure what the profit will be on some million acres. We know what land is. We can see It It is always where we can examine it The most successful companies for some years have been organized on land. The whole world knows what a boom there was in Southern California last year, and the many fortunes that were made. None of these begin to compare with this enter prise in magnitude, nor in its possibilities It comprises not alone millions of acres of land but the opening for many indus tries.
