MRs. ABnIE l.. MARBLE, Of San Fran
cisco, n sister of Mrs. James G. Blaine,
has published card denying the In
dianapolis Sentinel's story, and gives
the very convincing reason for 1t that
her father never knew or heard Of Mr..
Blaine, and had been dead about six
years before her sister saw Mr.. Blaine
for the first time. In 1880 the grand old
Democratic party got down on its knees
all over this country to write 1920" as
tattoo against Mr.. Garfield. In 1884 its
methods have been little worse and a
little more malignant against Mr.. Blaine,
and when driven from one assault 1t tries
another, in the face of all truth and all
honesty.

A Remarkable Cure.

DR.. Fishblatt comes to our village
Friday. Sept. 18th, at the fremont
House, with the following testimonial
clipped from the Mcmillan wis.,
Leader of June Is, 1884: DIR. Fish
blatt, of GAINESVILLE, was called in con-
sultation in The case of l.. b. johnson,
postmaster at Mcmillan. whom he
found in critical condition, having
been given up as hopeless by his fam
ilv physician, DR.. Hamilton. DR..
Fishblatt took the case under his care
and all who have known Mr.. Johnson
for the past five years can see won
derful change in him since Dr.. Fish
blatt treated him, and the doctor
should be entitled to some credit IN
the matter. Such testimonial must
be gratifying 10 Dr.. Fishhlatt. But
this is only one of the many cures he
is constantly performing. His repu-
tation as skilled physician is beyond
a doubt, and we are pleased to make
note of his continued success in his
chosen profession,

occupied most OF the week, though
some time was spent in the considera-
ton of circles. This work proved
very interesting, being new for many
of those present.
The exercises in Penmanship were
conducted by Mr.. Jno. Murphy. He
employs the same method Of teaching
this branch as that used by Prof. Car
YER, of LA Crosse Business College.
Before beginning the writing from
copies he puts the class through a Sc
ries of muscular exercises thereby
steadying the nerves and securing u
correct position of the hands and
body. Considerable time was spent in
Analysing and writing from copies pre-
pared by him.
The Geography exercises were con-
Quoted by Supt. Rosenbcrger. The
work was chiefly with Europe, COM
pairing the same with North America.
The general physical features of
Europe were discussed, and afterwards
those of the several countriesind detail.
The imports, exports, manufacturing
and agricultural interests, and the re-
sources OF the countries were compar
ed. The northern limit OF the cultiva
ton of wheat, rye, oats, maize, the
vine, and northern limit of the growth
of trees were compared with the same
in America.
Time was also taken each day III
constructing the map of Europe by
the Apgar System. Some excellent
work was done in this line by several
of the members.
The superiority of this method of
teaching geography is that it breaks
away from the use of u single text
book, giving the pupil the advantage
of consulting different authors, there
by widening his knowledge of the sub
ject very materially.
The exercises in photography, also
conducted by Supt. Rosenberger. were
conducted in such manner as to do
away with the use of any textbook in
particular, as in geography. The
words for spelling were dictated for
the next succeeding lesson, the men,
bers meantime being required to as
certain by the diacritical marks found
in Webster's Dictionary the correct
spelling and pronunciation of each
word. The exercises were also con-
Quoted in such q manner as to bring
out the rules and principles of spelling.
One point, at least, of superiority of
the Above over the common method,
is that it necesSitdtes the use of the
Dictionary.
Prof. Reyes, of River Falls, was
present Thursday and Friday. lie adj
vanced some new ideas for the consid
Grafton Of the teachers present.
Friday afternoon an hour was spent
under the direction of Prof. Keyes, in
the consideration of what
branch of study should be pur-
sued by child who was able to take
but one of the several branches re-
quired by law to be taught in our COM
mon schools, Reading and Writing be-
ing excepted, or, in other words,

common branches?" The opinion of
the institute was divided between

Republican Candidates.

RCpuDilCdu OdlulQdIeS.
The near approach of the time for
nominating Republican candidates for
Assemblyman and county offices,
makes it proper that announcement of
such possible candidates as are in
sight be made.
We understand that the names of
K. J.. Davis, of Ellsworth, and Prof.
j. b. Thayer, of River Falls, will be
presented to the convention as candi-
dates for the Assembly. Both are
excellent citizens and staunch Repub.
licans of long standing. 1--WE could
be happy with either were tother
dear charmer away"
Messrs. Knox Lewis, of Hartland,
and III. l.. Hubbard, of Maiden Rock,
are spoken of in connection with the
nomination for Register. Mr.. Lewis
needs no endorsement other than ref
erence to his former services in that
capacity. Mr.. Hubbard is held in the
highest esteem, both i'll character and
ability by all who know him.
We hear of no opposition to the
nomination of the present incumbents
of the offices, of Treasurer, County
Clerk and Dist. Attorney. They are
"tried and true" and well worthy of
reelection.
Messrs. A. II. Lord, of River Falls,
and L. l.. Nelson, of Ellsworth, are
candidates Cor nomination for Sheriff.
Mr.. Lord, however, is warm advo-
cate of the nomination of Prof. Thay-
er for the Assembly, and will only
come before the convention in case
MIR. Thayer is not nominated.
Messrs. G. w. Brown, @. Fenton and
w. j. Moore, all of Ellsworth, aspire
to the nomination for Clerk of the
Court. We think either would be
good selection.
MIR. Schulthess has long been an
efficient County Surveyor, and we pre-
sumo there will be no opposition to
his nomination, IL he desires it.
Messrs. A. Rosenberger, of Maiden
Rock, G.. L. Bowman, of Prescott, and
John MURPHY, of Ell Paso. are in the
field for Co. School Supt. All are
young men of exceptionally good
character, industry and promise.

Brief Report of the Institute for the Past Week
The State Institute held at this
place (Ellsworth), convened last Mon
day at p. m. with an enrolment of
sixty-two working members. The
afternoon was spent in organization
and the discussion of few points in
"Moral training of pupils" and THE
ory and Art of Teaching.
Keen interest has been manifested
during the entire week; notwithst and.
ing the depressing state of the atmos-
phere most of the time.
Prof Sawyer shows great ability in
conducting the institute, and his excel.
lent views on "Theory and Art of
Teaching" must, we think, material
ly improve the methods of imparting
instructions in our schools.
The following is brief outline Of
the work done during the week:
~. Consideration of the Course of
Study for Ungraded Schools in Wis
consin. Under this head considerable
time was spent in review of what
ought to be taught in country schools,
the end sought by the Course of
Study, and the objects of an educa-
ton. The Study and Work Pro-
gramme was thoroughly discussed,
Prof. Sawyer explaining away, very
satisfactorially, the objections raised
to the same.
(2l Moral Training in Schools. The
time occupied under this head was de-
voted (a) to the consideration of school
discipline, (b) duties of the teacher in
advancing the pupils in morals, in.
Guiding good manners, (c) in preparing
the pupils for good citizenship. rev.
erence, and sympathy. The report of
the Advisory Committee of the Wis
consin Teachers Association upon
Moral Training in Public Schools, fur
nished by the state, was taken as the
foundation upon which to base the ar
guments.
81 'sTheory and Art of Teaching"
Under this general head, a few edu-
cational maxims were discussed with
view to promoting a better compre-
hension of their significance, and a
knowledge of how to use them in
practical work of the school,.
Many other appropriate questions
were also discussed with much inter
est.
The Academic work consisted OF
the topics of Reading, Driving, Pen
manship, Geography, and Ortho-
graphy.
The work in Reading consisted of
Reading and discussing extracts from
some of the leading English and
American Classics, such as Shakes
peare, Byron, Whittier, members
giving short biographies of the auth.
ors of the several extracts read.
Special attention was given to figures
of speech, emphasis, infection, paus-
es, and tones. Some time was also de-
voted to breathing exercises and con-
cert reading.
The work in Drawing consisted of a
few rules as to position, holding the
pencil or crayon, and some definition s.
