TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
It Is to be Grand Affair This Year

The Trego County Normal Institute.
session of 1889, will open at 100 P. M. on
Monday, August 5, with Prof. and Mrs.
W. S. Picken in charge.
Prof. Picken is at present superintend-
ent of the city schools of Eureka. Mrs.
Picken was for several years leading
teacher in the State Normal School.
Both are earnest, practical, advanced
teachers, thoroughly experienced in insti-
tute instructing, and the character of
their work is a sufficient guarantee that
our normal will be one OF the best ever
held in western Kansas.
While the course of study is the same
as that oflast year, the treatment will be
somewhat varied, and the latest and most
approved methods will be presented to
our teachers.
The work will be divided as follows:
PROT Reading, orthography,
penmanship, grammar, arithmetic, physi-
ology, civil government, physics.
Mrs. Picken = Geography, history,
bookkeeping, drawing, didactics, organi-
cation, methods.
OF branches to be completed in ten
days, grammar, reading, geography, civil
government, book keeping, physics, draw
ing and organization, will be given in the
first two weeks, and photography, history,
physiology and methods, in the second
two weeks. Certain of these subjects
will be completed in ten lessons of double
time.
This plan has the sanction of the state
board, and, as used by Prof. Picken for
three years, has met with marked success.
+ The work will be confined to the morn
ing session, as heretofore, the afternoon
being devoted to preparation for the
next days work.
The course of study can be procured at
the superintendent Office.
Those in charge of the institute will do
all in their power to make it success,
and the teachers of Trego county have
always been equally earnest in striving
for the same end; so we may confidently
expect the work done to be of great and
lasting benefit to all engaged in it, and to
show its effects in our schools during
the coming year.
1t is earnestly hoped that every teacher,
and every one intending to teach, in
Trego county, will take advantage of the
Normal Institute; and we trust to well
come some from neighboring counties.
Let all come with the purpose to do
earnest, faithful work, and determined to
make the session of 1889 the. best insti-
tute ever held in Trego county.

Deafness Can't be Cured

By local application, as they can not reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inAamed condition of the
mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out OF ten are caused
BY catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of mucus surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case OF Deafness (caused by Catarrh)
that we can not cure by taking Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

The Wa-Keeney World speaks very
highly of the success of the creamery at
that place. AS a matter of fact the in
dustry, wherever established in western
Kansas, appears to be giving the greatest
satisfaction to patrons and public alike.
Ness City, being at the stop of the heap"
in this line of local enterprise, extends
her congratulations to her neighbors
who have also embarked in the business.
There is no good reason why western
Kansas should not be the dairy spot of
the universe.

The fruit loves the shade.
Siberian arbor-yitm and white spruce
can be grown from cuttings. )
Young vines produce nice. large fruit,
but Old vines produce the sweetest.
Washing the trees with strong lye will
help to prevent injury by the bugs.
Some trees and shrubs grow best when
transplanted in the fall. Others must not
be set out until spring.
Prepare the ground for grape vines in
the fall, but do not plant until spring.
Dig deep.
Farmers children acquire knowledge
of botany easily. They have splendid
opportunity, and will utilize the knowl-
edge later.
All old canes of the currant should be
cut out and burned. Fruit appears upon
new wood. Spare the knife and you lose
the fruit.
There is more water in the tops of trees
during warm weather than during cold;
and in cold weather there is more in the
roots than during warm.
The black walnut tree will cut a figure.
It can be made as profitable as the apple
tree in localities where it will thrive at
all.
Strawberries should yield 1000 Quarts

Mans Thrilling Escape.
NEW YORK, May 24.-The steamship
Geo. W. Clyde, from Cape Hayti, brought
fifty-eight passengers and lucky fireman,
John Kelly, of Brooklyn, who soon after
leaving port had bad attack of nervous
ness. All went we'll until the ship reached
800 miles north of Turks Island, when Kel-
ley got out of his berth and jumped over
the bulwarks. A passenger called out ::
'sAIan overheard p' and at the same time
threw a. deck chair into the sea. The wa
ter recalled him to his senses, and he at
once struck out for and held to the chair
Just as twelve foot shark made for him.
When the boat was lowered and the men
pulling for dear life, Kelley showed the
chair at the shark, which instantly seized
it, and Kelly was hauled to the shore more
dead than alive. He became delirious, and
had to be placed in irons during the rest of
the voyage. The steamer was under full
head of steam and had all sail set to steady
her when lie man jumped overheard, but
in fourteen minutes from the time the pas
sengers say Kelley jump the Clyde was

HER SLIPPERS,

All, those dainty slippers,
Which encase her shapely feet,
Have cast lasting spells upon me
And my heart caused to beat
In time to their dulcet music
AS they patter down the street.
Meath her snowy skirts chaste folds
They alternately peep,
And her pure Castilian instep
In my longing sight 1 keep.
AS she glides along the pavement
With such free and graceful sweep.
All, how happy are those slippers
To enclasp in close embrace
Such exquisite little feet.
Gifted with such witching grace
envy the incensed earth
The track of their lightsome place.
Evrery week l hear those foctfalls
Gently up the hall steps patter,
Filling all my heart with gladness
AS list to their sweet clatter-
For she's bringing clean clothes to me,
My washerwoman's daughter.
