Fl INSTITUTE,

A cordial invitation is hersh. extended to
the friends of educational work IN TINS ana
adjoining counties, the invitation, however,
having especial reference To the teachers OF
Yankton county to convene in Institute work at
the court house in the city of Yankton for SIX
days commencing Monsay, August ~, at y Am
Z ,p.o cs.sa IN the work OF this institute to
mainly discuss the relation of each OF It's parts
to the aggregate work of the achool.
L have ever observed that the. most earnest
teacher is invariably his own most earnest
student. 1t is the illumination of this light
gathered from your careful study, teachers.
which l ask you now to shed over the work of
erecting this institute to tbs profession.
Wherever practicable teachers will in q few
days be reached by special invitations. %outlin,
ing tue work: When this is not feasible 1 will
feel profoundly grateful to have Others invite
this invitation by favoriug me with thelr
names.
Public patronage, parental duty, the work of
the Officer the office of the teacher, the relation
ii tne pupil and the applicability of the law are
a few of the subjects which should interchange
thei salutations with the years experience.
To this endI have projected this meeting of
favorable or otherwise, on their school work
in the respective districts to which they were
assigned in the year now closing. During my
complete, l at least, succeeded in making my
| observations minute. Hence this call.
l have excellent reasons for requiring that
county during the approaching year should
attend this conyocation of our teachers. 1t has
been proposed to me to make it arch the avenue
to every school in my charge. l do not believe
this necessary, though willing to believe j,
wise, and therefore and thus earnestly invite
the attendance which l am unwilling tt
enforce.
AS teachers, local or otherwise, likely to lenG
your presence to the institute or your talents tt
it's aid, permit nae to urge you to at once senC
in your names for registration: l am author
lied to guarantee the hospitalitie, of our hos
pitable people to attendants and would muct

The Popular Vote for Home Rule.
Glasgow, July 1.-THE defeat OF the
government threatens to become q rout
so far as. England is concerned. Glad
stones appeal for justice to Ireland and
reconciliation with the irish people has
been answered by an unmistakaDle re-
tusal. But Scotland and Wales, to their
honor, have pronounced III favor of
peace and justice. However there Is
one CLEAN OF hope amid the shadows of
defeat. The popular vote IN Gfeat
Britain in favor of home. rule has been
enormous. One million British citizens
have recorded their opiEion in the
ballot boxes that Ireland should be
granted home rule. This marks clearly
the great strides made by the home rule
movement, aided by the public opinion
OF the world. When the number of
voters who nave declared against Glad
stones plan Is examined, it is found
that only eleven hundred thousand
have declared against that particular
form.
A change of one vote in every twenty
one voters would have made home rule
triumphant along the whole line. When

may be transmitted from one animal to
another, or from animals to man, by means
OF flies lighting on the diseased spot, and
thence passing TO II .iieaitny subject AL
though this has been scarcely credited by
many persons, it has been proved by direct
experiment during thu last summer, to DO
not simply possible, but an actu al fact.
This is not done by the ordinary blow or

which, after coming III contact with a sore,
and thence passing 10 a healthy animal,
inlparts the Infection to the latter.
