CHEAP FARES
TO
THE CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION.
Will Our Republic Ever Look
Upon its Like Again.

No occurrence since the days of the
Revolution has wrought up the feelings
Of our patriotic, country loving native
and adopted citizens, as the Great Elk
bibition in Philadelphia, which has as
sembed representatives from every civ
ilizsd nation on the face of the globe
OF course there were some misgivings
to the success of this cyclopian affair,
and Congress was loudly called for, TO
aid the proper celebration Of our One
Hundredth Birth day as u nation. The
friendly feelings exhibited by the whole
world, with whom we are at peace, early
gave assurance to the managing direc.
tors, Of the ultimate success of the Cen
tennial Exhibition. AS we look over
the $50 acres OF that part of the Fair
mount Park devoted TO the Centennial,
and the miles of magnificent buildings
in which are crowded by the productions
of the world, and the daily assemblage
OF an hundred thousand persons, can
we say that the great Fair, which com,
memorates our Nations birth, and
which has awakened new interest In
that memorable event, the signing and

The Great Fl. Wayne & Pennsylvania
Railway Line have brought into requls.
ition all of their new elegant, costly and
luxurious Hotel, Sleeping and Drawing
room Pullman palaces, to accommodate
visitors. The tracks of this favorite.
short and most direct line, lead directly
into their new Centennial depot, con
yenience appreciated by all. 1t must
be remembered that no other road runs
their sleeping cars into Philadelphia di
rect, without change. The reduced rates
created by the railroad war has made
the fares about one-half of the regular
tariff Round trip Centennial tickets
good for 60 days, with privilege of stop
ping off at any point, may be purchased
over the Fl. Wayne & Pennsylyani,

THE FARMERS Stock JOURNAL, of
CedarRapids,a publication with which
most of our readers are more or less
familiar, comes out with July num-
Der which is highly creditable to
both editors and publishers. Beside
large amount of valuable informa-
ton and timely discussion to be found
in its reading columns, its advertis-
ing pages contain much that no man
practically interested in stock i'm
provement can we'll afford to be with

THE NORMAL.

The Normal destitute of Cedar county
wh;e!i commenced The 10Th Of JAY, will
close with an examination of teachers
on Friday and Saturday OF this week -
Having been a careful observer of the
work from the first the writer can con
fdeutially say that it has been we'll
done Prof Wernli, the conductor, hay
ing graduated at Normal School in
Switzerland twenty six years ago, com
menced his work as q teacher to which
he has devoted himself almost continu-
ously over since. The places no has oc-
cupled as County superintendent, as
teacher i'm Normal Schools, and as Prin-
cipal of the Normal School at Galena,
H., have given him the best Of oppor-
tunities to study the needs Of our pub
lie schools and the best methods of
training teachers for their work. His
work has been ably supplemented by that
of Prof. Young, of Durant, and Prof.
Gibney of Des Moines. The good to
our schools that will grow out Of this
institute can hardly be over estimated
The teachers who have attended oven
but a few days, carry with them an in
creased knowledge Of the subject matter
improved method Of teachers, and what
is still better, a higher idea OF the work
in which they are engaged. The en-
rolment last year was fifty eight, this
year it has already reached nearly one
hundred; with renewed efforts on the
part of the Superintendent and leading
teachers of the county and grading of
the Normal, We expect to see an enroll
ment of one hundred and fifty more next
year. Who win not work for it?

FORENOON.

The number of teachers in attend.
ance during the Institute has consid-
erably exceeded one hundred. Tues
day forenoon Of this week we found
seventy three present, whom the In
structors addressed as "Lsdies and
Gentlemen" but it seemed scarcely
necessary to mention the latter divis-
ion-,he relative attendance being
such that the old arrangement should
have been reversed and the Sisters
allowed to embrace the "brethrcn."
There were eight gentleman teachers
we believe, present out of the seven.
ty-three; and although we know
some of them to be young men OF
steady nerves and generous parts,
yet we must say they had rather a
subdued air-for which who shall
blame them after rejecting upon the
quick conception and ready tongues
Of the three score school. ma'ams by
which they were surrounded.
Prof. Wernli, in addition to being
himself at home in thorough know
ledge Of his subjects, has the faculty
of awakening interest, and maintain
ing life and vivacity in his exercises.
His English education is SO complete
that his native German idioms and
accents only enhance the pleasure
one finds in listening to him. Prof.
Gibney's thorough and practical
knowledge Of the art of reading
something in which too few teachers,
to say nothing Of other people,
are even tolerably pro fcient-
has been of great benefit to the men,
bers. Indeed, the Normals may be
made valuable factor in our educa-
tional system; and as cores
pondent indicates that a Teachers
organization is to be perfected ia
the comfy, and the next Institute to
be held at later and more favorable
date and with increased opportuni-
ties, much will confidently be expect
ed therefrom.

RuNAwAYs.-The first one of which
we have any knowledge this week
occurred Sunday morning, in the
northwest part Of town. As spring

child beside the driver, passed over

them spring forward. A line broke
and then short turn overset the
concern in hurry; and, the neck
yoke being tied fast to the end OF the
tongue, some one must have been
badly hurt had not one of the tied-up
harness naturally come to pieces and
slid off the horse. The old lady was
insensible when help arrived, but on
being brought to herself by cold
water and asked show she felt" an

quired lumber wagon to carry away
the pieces of the first concern.
Mr.. G. N. Brown, he Of the gentle

morning he "tried" new horse for
Mr.. Powers, the man of musical ma
chinery, and the novel equine started
a first class runaway at the depot,
which was only terminated short OF a
tragedy by turning short into Rel
chert's lumber yard and bringing up
on the top Of pile of scantling.
Later in the same day Mr.. 2. tried
the same horse himself, and came
down Cedar Street much faster than
the Marshal usually permits, shout
ing "whoa!" at every other jump
Just in front of the hotel the whoas
began to take effect and we were
again cheated out of a sensations

ing devoted to an examination by
the Superintendent of those who may
wish to procure Certificates"
This Institute has not followed the
example of some that have preced-

theatre for the display Of "smartness'
alike on the part of the instructor in
some branch of study and of the
many members who seemed to ask
questions almost solely for the pur.
pose of quizzipg. On the contrary
it has been devoted exclusively tc
preparation, in the most systematic
and thorough manner, for the real
practical work of the school ROOM
Prof. Wernli, the Conductor, to whose
wide experience in, and great apti-
tude for, this kind of work we have
already alluded, has assumed the
role of Instructor in most of tn.

HARVESTER TRIAL-THE MAssIL-
LON WAY AuEAD.-A trial of har-
yesters occurred on the farm Of M.
Coffman, three miles east of Upton,
on Thursday, goth inst, between the
Marsh, Edward and Massillon. The
test was in green oats, badly down
and on rough ground well covered
with corn stalks. The Edward start
ed first, cut once round half-acre
after stopping several times. The
Marsh then cut once around with
little better success. The Massillon
then started in and cut two rounds
without stopping either on account
of cornstalks or clogging. The Ell
ward and Marsh then cut each one
more round with about the same sue
cess as before; after which the Mas
silon cut another round and turned
aud cut the back swath, knocked
down by the machine the first time
through, and left nice clean job
All then started for the barley, which
was very ripe, badly down and on
very wet ground. After cutting
once around with each machine in
the barley, Mr.. Coffman was en-
tirely satisfied and decided at
once in favor of the Mas
sillon, which he then and there pur-
chased. 1t should be further under
stood that Mr.. Coffman and his sons
took entire charge of each machine
during the test, SO that the opportun.
tiles Of each were precisely the same;
and that the conclusion to which they
thus arrived was conceded in by al.
m ost every one Of the large lumber
of farmers and others who gathered
to witness the trial. Read the fol.
lowing testimonial from Mr.. Coffmar
in accordance with his decision:
Messrs. c. G. Mc6ett d Bro.:-
This is to certify that l gave the
three machines operated on my farm
