Where shall the Norm al rn..i.u.e be Held

HIGHLAND, KANSAS, May ., 1880.
There has been some little talk among the teach
ers in regard to where the Institute shall meet be
be held in August Some Of friends have been
working very hard to get the Institute here, this
summer. They have annoyed every person that has
taught or expects to teach, with their petition
They have the names of persons that never were
known to attend an Institute and also persons that
we know never intend to teach. Besides they ought
to know that few persons in the vicinity Of High
land do not constitute majority Of the teachers in
Doniphan County. Formy part, don't see what claim
they have for holding the Institute here In the first
place. they have not suitable building Second,
they have good railroad facilities. Third il Is
one side of the County. Only indncement that
can think Of and that is their high degree of moral
ity do not consider that much of an inducement;
for school teachers, general class, supposed
to be men and women of good moral character.
Those that are not should abandon the profession,
as soon as convenient. For my part would say let
il be held at Troy, first, last and all the time. In
speaking so, think that | speak the wishes of the
majority of the teachers in the County. Ny reasons
for Troy, instead Of Highland, are simple: First
better building be obtained for holding the In
stitute Second Troy has better facilities for the
travelling public. Third, it is q central place
than Highland Fourth, it is the County Seat Pifth,
a larger attendance be secured And am sure
that board can be obtained just cheap as in High
land am sure, if person would offer to board
me cheaper than got board for last August, would
not accept Of his hospitality for know that would
be doing him an injustice. think that our worthy
Superintendent will take everything into considers
ton, and abide by rOx Popnf.

us through many gloomy day in the school-roOm.
We can but offer a tribute to her memory, and nc
knowledge that the affection is Gods will. Over in
that beautiful land TO which darling has gone we
may not doubt that she is free from the pain she
long endured here; and when gather at the river,

he financially iattened being rendered literally
worse than pcnniless. His railroad investments
were principally in the North Pacific and the St.
Louis and San Francisco Roads. But it seems that
he held to his railroad stock letting all his other
property be swept away. Less than year ago. he
made sale of his n orth Pacific stock. by which he
relieved himself from his embarrassments, and had
a handsome amount over. We now see, by a recent
New York paper, that he has made million dollars
by the sale Of St. Louis and San Francisco stock,
which he bought at s. q share. He is now far ahead
of his wealth in his palmiest days of the past. All
who knew him in other days will rejoice at his good
fortune. He did large business at White Cloud,
which was felt by all classes. He most thor
