EVENING SESSION.

After dinner the Institute was as
sehbled and the programme was car.
ried out to the letter. Prof Naylor
took the place of A. w. Foster, who
was absent, and discussed Teachers
Outfit. Prot. Naylor thought teach
ers ought to have full outfit. The
discussion was participated in by all.
Prof. Fly thought a teachers outfit
was incomplete without some good
school Journal. Jno. L. Senter then
discussed the last subject on the pro-
gramme writing" lie made a
splendid talk on the subject, showing
that he was familiar with the best
methods. He thought that parents
and school directors were to blame to
a certain extent for the neglect of this
important branch. The committee
on resolutions offered the following,
which was unanimously adopted:
Resolved that we return thanks tp
the various committees for their kind
attention and for the provisions made
for as, and to the community which
has SO warmly welcomed us on this

j w Rust, Roht West, WIN Shane
aud Dr. Davidson The programme
was taken up. Prof Askew's paper on
Dlcipline was splendid, well-written
paper, showing that he was teacher
up with the times, and it was cons
mended by all. j r Deason did
not think school could be absolutely
successful unless there was perfect 1r'
der. Prof Day thought it impossible
to have perfect order i'll our country
schools, but that much depended Oh
good order. The. next in order was
"Topic Teaching and Map Drawing"
by Prof. Day. He gave his methods
of teaching geography, grammar and
Arithmetic by topic. He thought
map drawing important and had seen
the good result in his own school.
He believes in putting the children to
nIp craving as S0Op as they cons
menced geography. BY drawing the
map the pupils had more lasting i'm
preston made, and that impsession
more accurate. Punishment was
next discussed by 3. r. Foster, Esq.
He took the position that when mild
means fail then resort to strong ones,
and use them quick. Esq. Foster is
one ofthose substantial men, and likes
to have things orderly. His paper was
full of good sound sense, was well
written, showing careful thought. he
drew upon Holy Writ with effect.
Aaron's rod bloomed, and the schools
teachers rod, fjudiciously used, would
bloom, and yield bountiful harvest
of good. The discussion was ANNA
ted on this subject, and all of the
teachers and some of the patrons and
school officers participated. The pre-
vailing sentiment was in favor of us
ing the rod as last resort. Ounce
caps, standing upon the floor, DC,
should not be resorted to. The query
box was then opened and the discus,
sions Of the many questions was lively,
and solicited general interest. The
choir sang suitable selection and the
Institute adjourned for dinner. A
bountiful dinner was spread upon the
ground and the large crowd Toasted
upon the many good things spread be,
fore them. The community had re-
sponded generously to the call of the
committee of arrangements, and the
dinner spread was one of those char.
acteristic good dinners for which this
section of the country is noted. As
the crowd had enjoyed the literary
part, so likewise they enjoyed this
part of the programme.

shoot for the badge. -

The monthly contest of the members
of the Emporia gun club for the gold
medal, came off last week Thursday
and was witnessed by several outsiders.
There was considerable strife for the
badge, as it had been twice won by Geo.
BragunIer, and had he's been successful
this time it would have been his TO
keep. AS luck would have it on the first
ten birds f. L. Weaver, Billy Huesus
and Ned Weaver tied, each killing eight
birds. Geo. Bragunier, Geo. Clapp and
]. b. Halleck only killed seven out of
the ten, and therefore dropped out.
The tie shoot was won by Z. f. Weaver,
who killed five straight birds, thus win
ming the badge for the second time. a
sweepstakes shoot was then INDUCED
in, after which the medal was turned
over to the winner, and the members
came home, promising Mr.. Weaver
some close competition rext month.

From the Normal.

FRIDAY, Niuy u
The rhetorical exercises to day were,
as usual, very interesting. Prominent
among the productions presented were
written Languages, by Mr.. d. F.
Combs; "Glory," by Miss Mabel Grant
physical Culture" by Mr. A. H New
ton; "Chimes," by S. NJ. Davis; LET
Single Women Vote" by E G. Shaw
River of Time, by G. c. Gipe, and
Greetings" by Miss Lulu Holmes.
These exercises have increased in ex-
cellence from the first until now. 1t
will pay any one to come and listen to
the most interesting and instructive ex-
ercises of the school.
The music rendered to-day was of a
very excellent character. The song en-
titled ave Win Not Let Thee Co." was
rendered by fourteen gentlemen in q
manner deserving commentator and
from the hearty encore given by the stu
dents it would seem they were unwilling
to let the gentlemen go until they IA
vored them with repetition of the
music.
The graduating class met to-day, and
decided TO divide the exercises of class
day into two sessions, having part in
the morning and part in the evening.
This was the most reasonable thing
they could have done, as one session
would necessarily have been very long.

A DeIirhtfuI Evening.

Both young folks and old had the
pleasaniest kind of a time at Mrs. ID. C..
McMurtrie's last week, at the carpet
rag sociable given in behalf of the
Presbyterian parsonage fund. There
was a very general turnout, and the
house was filled with a merry company
which seemed TO have assembled with
the determined purpose to enjoy them
selves. The carpet rags were wound
in balls, in the center of each of which
was bit of paper on which was written
the name of some lady present. These
were sold to the gentlemen, and
their purchases determined their
company for the evening. 1t
is not unlikely that some of
the young men were cheated out of their
"best girls" by this arrangement, but the
alienation was too short-lived to cause
any pain, even among the most tender
couples, and the hospitab,e offices OF Mr..
and Mrs. McMurtrie, who made every
exertion for the entertainment of the
company, fully ameliorated all disap-
pointments of that nature. A feature
of the evening which will be agreeably
remembered was the excellent supper,
which was partsken of with every evil
dence of satisfaction, and, taken all in
all, the gathering was one of the most
delightful social affairs that EmpOria
has seen IN many day.

The Catholic school Houss.

Last week County Surveyor MILL
ken was busy stalking off the ground
and establishing the grade for the new
Catholic school house. 1t was proposed
to erect the school house ON the site of the
old church, but different arrangements
have been made. The six lots where
stands the old church have been sold, or
will be sold, and quite recently the six
lots directly opposite the convent
have been bought, and upon one of these
the new school house will be erected.
This gives the Catholic church twenty
lots in one solid piece-one entire block
and the half of another, thus enabling
them to have all of their different build
ings conveniently near each other. When
their hospital and school house are CON-
pleted, this portion of Cottonwood
street will add much beauty to our city.
We understand the school house is TO be
a two-story brick, and will cost about
$1,000, and is to be completed in time
for the fall term of school.

THE SMALLPOX PATIENT
Measures Taken by the Mayor for H


Measures Taken by the Mayor for His
Proper Treatment.
1t seems that the people at Horton
were very much incensed over the fact
that the car containing Thomas Jones,
the smallpox patient who passed
through here on the late east-bound train
Thursday night, was left AT that place,
and we learn that last Friday the car
was removed from the side-ITack and
placed on the main line by parties re-
siding in the vicinity OF the station, who
threatened more decided measures if il
was not taken away by the company.
In the meantime, however. Mayor East
man had sent to Horton a couple of tents
10 be put up about a mile this side of
the station, at safe distance from any
habitation, for the accommodation of
Jones and his attendant. A gasoline
stove and lot of provisions, including
lemons, ice and other necessary sup.
plies, were ALSO forwarded, and the
mayor will see that everything is pro
vided for the comfort and proper treat
ment of the patient. His attendant
physician, DIR. McCandliss, has had
much experience in treating small pox
and the patient will be as we'll cared
for as if he were at his own home.

Tally Two Victories for Temperance in
Eureka


Eureka.
EDS. NEWS: Last Thursday was a
field day for the temperance and law
abiding citizens of Eureka and Green
wood county. A. Mr.. Boughman, of
Virgil, was arrested some months ago
on a charge of violating the prohibitory
law, and after a tedious trial the jury
hung. His trial came up again at the
present term of court and was set for
Monday. and Thursday the jury receiv-
ed their instructions from the judge, and
after being out short time returned a
verdict of guilty on three counts out of
nine. 1t is said that there was a good
deal of righteousness in the case, but
that Bougbman had violated the law no
one pretend3 TO deny.
The other case was that of James
Broddel, of Eureka. After the jury had
been impaneled and all proceedings
ready Broddel offered TO plead guilty 10
one count and pay the costs of all cases
against him If he was discharged. There
were about twenty-eight cases against
him and the costs of the same amounted
up in the neighborhoOd or 800. His
place is declared a nuisance and the
people are happy. These are the first
decisive victories yet won for the tenn
perance people. Whisky sellers will
now want TO look out, for the people
