The Mt. Pleasant papers are just
waking up to q discussion of Beech
er's lecture. The Reporter ofthe 2Sth
says:
All the benefit derived from the
very common place lecture in any
way or manner whatever, was sixty
or seventy dollars out of pocket, if
all payments had been demanded.
The greater part Of the lecture was
good, common sense advice; but his
remarks in reference to the real bone
and sinew Of our nation were not just
in accordance with the ideas of the
greater number of his hearers. "a
laboring man." said Mr.. Beecher 9
year or SO ago, SHOULD DO content
with seventy-five cents a day, and
two meals consisting only of bread
and pure cold water" and his re-
marks in that direction on the night
of the 9Th, showed that he believed
the same thing yet. Bread and water
and seventy-five cents day was good
enough for the laboring man, while
he wanted five dollars q minute for
common lecture and to be fed on the
best the land could produce free of
charge.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
A Terrible Record-Suffering and
Death,
sarshalltown Time!

Earshaltown Times.
One of the worst records of suffer-
ing and death that it has ever been
our lot to record, has taken place in
Logan township recently. The fami-
ly, by the name of Jordan was COM
posed of the parents and nine chill
dren, happy, industrious, affectionate
and obedient; full Of hope and every
way prosperous in worldly affairs,
but within few days oh how diff
ferent. The dreaded disease of dip
iberia entered their house and within
ten days five of these nine children
were carried away, one by one, to
their last resting place, and when the
disease had abated and the rest felt
secure, even the elements seemed
against them, and death again visited
their home. On Saturday, after the
heavy thunder storm, q young son
not returning, who had been out
herding cattle, was looked for and
found with his faithful horse dead
upon the prairie, both having been
killed by lightning; the boy yet
grasping his horses bride, cold and
silent in death. Three are remaining
of this happy family of children, six
have gone within the last 80 days. A
curious incident connected with
this calamity, was that of an older
sister, who works in this city with a
prominent family on Main street.
As the storm was at its worst, she re-
marked to the family, "Oh, my little
brother, he kno W is out herding cat
tie in this storm, l feel SO badly for
him and could cry for the little fell
low" Yesterday morning she was
summoned hastily home to attend his
funeral, and firmly believes they will
all die, or be killed soon. What must
be the sorrow and desolation of that
home and the parents who have de-
votedly watched and guarded their
little ones during all these years, to
see them passing away like the dew
under mornings sun.

MORE RAlLRoAD.-Albia is to be
congratulated upon the decision Of
the c., B. Il @. authorities in regard
to the double track through this coun-
ty which they have been figuring on
for some months past. The citizens
of Abba feared and had abundant
reason to fear that the line adopted
for the new freight track would be
the one running through the south
part of the county. 1t has been de-
cided, however, that the new track
will be built near the main line and
the engineer corps is at work locating
the same. The portion around the
Russell grade has been located and
the right of way obtained. On the
other side of the county the new line
leaves the main track about four
miles east of Frederick and comes up
the south side of the creek to about
Frederick, and then crosses the main
line and follows a hollow, crosses the
farms of Jesse Palmer and VIM.
Chisholm and others as it comes on
towards Abba. The construction of
this line will require the outlay of
large sums of money In the county
and make a market for great deal
Of produce. Fortunately the farmers
of the county have produce to sell
this year.-Albi0 Union.

NORMAL INSTITUTE.

Reported for the Courier by @, W. Buckner.
On Tuesday and Wednesday the
regular work was carried on.
Inasmuch as Wednesday closed the
practical work of the Institute the
teachers adopted few resolutions
which we will now give:
Being thoroughly convinced that
our County should be more active in
educational matters, and believing
that nothing short Of an earnest and
united effort on the part of teachers
aud friends Of education will arouse
our people from the stupor into
which they have fallen; Therefore,
We the teachers of Wapello county,
herein assembled, do form and adopt
the following resolutions:
LIST RESOLVED, That our thanks are
due to the School Board, Main st. M.
f. Church and the Mayor of the City,
for the use of buildings gratuitously
furnished to the Institute.
I'd Resolved, That the thanks of the
Institute are due to the conductors
who have SO faithfully labored to pre-
sent their respective subjects in clear
and thorough manner. Further, to
Professors Baldwin and Carpenter,
and Mrs. McCue, for their excellent
institute work gratuitously given.
Also, especially to our Co. Supt., w.
A. McIntire, for the earnest efforts he
has made TO present variety Of in
teresting and profitable instruction.
Sd RESOLVED, That we indoree the
action of the State Legislature of Iowa
in establishing Teachers Normal In
stitutes. Earnestly believing that. if
properly conducted, they are not only
beneficial to our teachers, but more
especially to our schools, and that the
greatest benefit can only be received
when all the teachers are present
hence, we desire that teachers inter-
ested in our Normal work, school di-
rectors and patrons make united eff
fort to secure the attendance of every
teacher, in our county, during cur
next session. Further, we will sus-
tain the action of all School Boards,
in the county, that take into consid.
GRAFTON such attendance of teachers
at our Normal before employing the
same.
4th RESOLVED, That we do sustain
our Co. Supt. w. A. McIntire, in his
laudable efforts to elevate the stan
dard Of qualification Of teachers in
this county. We also recommend
three weeks term for our next Nor
NAL Institute, and we urge our Co.
Supt. to use every means to make the
same interesting and profitable.

Prof. E. A. Benson gave his lecture
in the City Hall as announced. 1t

his audience as he spoke entirely too
fast. He seems to be an energetic
young man and we wish him success
in life.
About eighty-five teachers were en-
rolled.
