GYMNASTICS AT THE ACADEMY.

Il
When Miss Katie Ide, after prepar-
ing herself for the work, began giving
lessons in physical training to mum
Der of young ladies in the academy
gymnasium two or three months ago,
it was regarded as an experiment.
Now, at the close of the first ten weeks
of the term, it proves decided sue
cess. There are some 80 young ladies
engaged in the work about 20 of them
students and the others from the viii
lage. These are in two classes of equal
size and blossoms" are given Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays of each week 8,
the practice occupying an hour at each
lesson. The exercises have thus far
consisted mainly of marching, running
and fancy steps, free movements,
dumb bell drill, and vaulting. No at
tempt is made to do things difficult or
to perform feats beyond the strength
of the pupil. Not exercise merely with
no definite purpose is desired, but
careful training and methedical in
structiOn. The movements are all
simple, but bring into action muscles
that otherwise would remain Inactive
The members of the classes have al
ready derived benefit from the work
which is heartily enjoyed by them,
and the teacher, Miss 1de, brings to it
an enthusiasm that insures increasing
interest and success. Next term chest
weights will be introduced and the
class will be advanced in other lines
of drill as fast as the judgment of the
teacher approves.
Now that instruction i'm physical
training is fairly begun it is desired to
extend its advantages TO others. Some
have already signified their intention
of joining new class at the begin
ming of the next ten weeks of the term.
Any in the village who desire to join
the new class are urged to confer with
Miss Ide, who will gladly meet with
and explain the method adopted to
them or to any others who may be
merely "thinking it over" The ex-
pense to such class for the remainder
of the term will be reasonable the
purpose being to increase the interest
in the work.

1t is very humiliating no doubt to a mans
selfesteem to think that his success in life
can be Influenced to any extent by the fact
that he is we'll or poorly dressed. Yet
all persons are more or less Influenced by a
we'll dressed person. if his manners cores
pond with his dress. If a stranger approach
es you with any new business scheme and is
shabbily dressed, your first thought is. thi.
man is so poorly dressed that he must have
been unsuccessful, and consequently there is
no merit in his scheme, and you may decline
to make any investigation of what may be of
value. On the other hand, if he is we'll
dressed and of pleasing manners, his very
appearance of prosperity gives strength in
advance to the plans he wishes to explain to
you, and you are more ready to listen.
In an instance like the one at the head of
this article, it is not necessary to argue the
question with the young man. he knows that
good fitting suit strengthens his other suit,
We think there is no excuse for any man
not being we'll dressed, considering the fact
that we are selling well made and we'll fitting
clothing at very low prices We believe that
every man should dress according to his bus
mess what is suitable for one is not for an
other. But we contend that when man BUYS
II suit he shall insist on having suit that lie
well made and nice fitting. and if he will call
ON us he will be sure TO find it We have
clothing to suit all employments and all
purses.

CHARGE TO THE GRAND jury RESPECTING
THE LABOR RIors IN MILWAUKEE
After charging the jury to conduct its work
in a spirit of strict impartiality, Judge NAL
Tory continued:
! No person should be indicted for the COM
mission of any offense unless such person
was in some way, by word or act, connected
with its commission. 1t is not necessary tnal
the person should have actually participated
in the commission of the Unlawful or crlmi'
nal act to make him responsible tor It. but
every person who counsels, hires, procures
| or incltes others to the commission OF any I'M
lawful or criminal act. is equally guilty with
those who actually perpetrated the act,
| though sucn persons may not have been pres
ent at the time of the commission OF the Of
fence. If two or more persons con-
spire together for the purpose OF boycottlng
a man with intent 10 inJure or destroy MS
business, they may be indicted for comsplr-
acy In view of the labor troubles through
out the country, thiak it well for the Grand
Jury to investigate fully and carefully the ma
ture and character of the labor organizations
hich exist in the midst Of US, with view OF
ascertaining whether anything In any OF their
constitutions, or in any oath which any OH
Ger or member is required to take, binds OH
GERS or members to resort to violence or other
unlawful means for the purpose OF accom-
pIishing tine objects sought to be attained.
Any organization whose officers or members
are 50 bound is an unlawful organization and
| liable to indictment
l believe q vast majority of the people who
come to this country from foreign lands are
attracted by our free Institutions, and come
| for the honest purpose of accepting and sus
tanning them, and are here for the purpose OF
making peaceable homes for their children.
But unfortunately for the cause OF good gov
eminent anc the peace Of society, persons OF
another class, comparatively few in numbers,
but of a turbulent, irregular and vicious tenn
per, have settled in different States OF our
Union, and began from the moment they
landed upon our shores to cry out against our
government, and to advocate anarchy. These
men, by their pernicious doctrines, have
poisoned the minds of large numbers OF our
once contented and prosperous laboring people
to an alarming extent, to the extent OF causing
riot and bloodshed, as well as general
arrangement of the business of the country,
honest laborers suffering more than any other
class of our people. The men who by incen-
diary speeches and wild harangues cause
breaches OF the peace must be held to strict
accountability. Our Constitution does not
protect any such freedom Of speech. Our
people have tolerated the reckless and criml-
nal conduct of Anarchists and demagogues
qaite too long.
The matters to come before you are of
great importance, and it is your duty to act
up To tulI manhood. Courts and juries must
either stop this turbulence or we must aban-
don the Government.
