The teachers institute which closed
last Friday afternoon was one Of the
largest and best attended of any ever
held in Brown County Throughout it
was interesting and instructive, and
the efforts of the conductors met with
the hearty cooperation of the teachers
present. It was this that made their
labors successful and gave them rea-
sons for expressing themselves as high
ly pleased. Those who attended with
the purpose of being benefited can con-
slider the time as we'll spent, as there
was much said that will be of valuable
assistance to them if they will act upon
the instructions. The later evening ex-
ercises of the institute were lecture
on Wednesday by Prof. McCleary, in
which he gave an interesting account
of his travels, during the past summer,
through the eastern states and a Scott
Literary entertainment on Thursday,
which consisted in recitals from the
Lady of the Lake. Both were largely.
attended and enjoyed.
The supreme court of Minnesota has
rendered decision in the case of the
Minnesota Land and Investment Com
pany VS. Charles A. Davis reversing the
decision of the lower court. 1t will be
remembered that this was suit
brought by the Winona and St. Peter
Land Co. to eject Mr.. Davis from GER
tain lands in this county, of which he
was in possession. The district court
decided in his favor but the company
appealed to the supreme court. Mr..
Davis held that a filing had been
made upon the land previous to the
time that the map of permanent To-
cation of the railroad had been
filed, and consequently the tract was
withdrawn from the operation of the
grant to the railroad company. In
the decision the supreme court holds
Mr.. Davis as party not sufficiently in
terested to question the effect of the
grant which it asserts has the force
of patent. Mr.. Davis has made
many Improvements upon the land in
question and it is to be hoped that he
may yet be successful in having the
certifcation of the secretary of interior
set aside.
Billy Marble and his company played
Solomon Isaacs' at the Peoples last
night to one of the best houses of the
season. The audience was represen-
tative Omaha audience, composed of
our first and best people, with all of
whom the Marbles have long been
favorites. The play isa comedy drama
and from lrst to last abounds in situa.
tions intensely interesting and broadly
comical. Marble and wife are to be
sure, more than capable in all their
characters, but the other members of
the company are so good as to merit
the individual mention they should re-.
ceive here, did time allow. In 'sSolo-
men Isaacs,'' Billy Marble is at his
best-his very best-and almost his
every appearance was a asignal for q
hearty greeting from the audience. All
in all the entertainment furnished by
the Marbles and their excellent COM
pany, was the most enjoyable of the
season. When Marble comes again he
can expect his usual crowded house.

The Northfeld News says that office
holding is demoralizing. Why so, and
who is to blame? Are our political
institutions rotten or is our form Of
government bad? No. people are at
fault. So long as they will allow ring
politicians to manipulate conventions,
| caucuses and even elections, so long
