The ticket selected by the Re.
publicans last Saturday is gener.
ally satisfactory, and onr' leading
Democrats concedc the success Of
the ticket this fall. Last year the
Republican strength was shown by
the fact that the entire State tickle,
received majorities ranging from
10 to % votes. The party is thor
oughly organized in Mason county.
and scratched tickets will be few

will pull together. A large ma
jority OF the new corners are Re.

be much larger this year, if the
Republicans work for the general
good.

THE TURNER BUND.


Action of the North American Turner
Bund In Session in New York City-A
National Teachers Seminary to be Es-
tablisiicd ut Milwaukee. Wis.-A vic-
tory for the West
New York, June 24.-Tho North
American Turner'S Bnnd held a morn
ing, afternoon and night session yester-
day At the roll-call 225 delegates an
swered to their names. The business
began with question OF admitting to
the floor Turner teachers; this was al
lowod With the restriction that they
should not be- given voice in tho
proceedings. The Milwaukee Turn
Zeitung, edited by c. H. Bottoe, was
chosen by committee as the official
organ Of the convention, and this was
ratified by the convention.
The Turner's Mutual Benefit Associa-
tion OF the Northwest requested the
{ support of the Turner Bund. 1t met
/ with much opposition, and the question
was tejiiperarily disposed of by sending
/ it to the committee on organization
| Reports of committees were next in
order. The executive committee re"
/ ported an increase in 1889, of twenty-six
bunds, numbering 4,943. This brings
the total membership up to 35, 9l2. The
treasury showed balance of S10,911.
A donation OF S., 09G was made to the
Ccnomaugh Valley food fund
The report of the committee on intel
lectual development made IL the duty
Of every society to provide at least six
lectures annually advocating the prin-
ciples of tie Turner Bund, also to es-
/ tablish night and Sunday schools for
/ the young between fourteen and eight
/ cch Years of age, and to stock their
libraries With moral literature.
The committee ON ethical culture sub
mitted that two prizes should be given
annually for essays on turning and gem
eral subjects.
A long discussion arose on the propo-
sition to establish a teachers seminary
in Milwaukee, Wis, and to consolidate
with it the German American Teachers
Institute o; indianapolis. The latter
has been heretofore prcambulating in
stitutc from city to city. Tho need of
an institute like this to provide a place
whore Turner teachers could be qualified
mentally to teach in public schools
where the children thus tutored would
be especially favored in having COM
petent instructors to drill both their
bodies and their mind1 Sectional jeal-
ousy caused the matter to be lengthily
debated. The Eastern divisions of the
Bund did not care to soc the West
nonopolize permanent seat of learn
ing of this kind. But this feeling at
last gave way to the general welfare Of
the Bund. Milwaukee was chosen as
the seat of this National institute be-
cause it was tho center of Il strongly
German portion of the country, and,
moreover the Bund had been offered by
citizen tho free gift Of valuable lot
on which to build.
Much satisfaction is expressed by the
Western delegates at the outcome ol
the contest for the institute.
The night finished with an entertain
mcnt at Ninety-first street and Third
avenue, rendered the Bund by the
Homestead Club.

Have Been Cured of Hip Disease
Through the Prayers of n Priest.
OswEGo, n. Y, June 24.-A remarka-
Fble faith cure was performed in st.
Johns Catholic church Sunday night in
the presence of large congregation.
For years Nellie Henncsscy, now TWEEN
ty-thrco years old, has been i'll with hip
disease and unable to walk without
crutches. On Thursday Father Hart
man, a Jesuit priest from Buffalo, came
here to hold retreat for the young
ladies of st. Johns Church. Miss Hen
nessey was among the forty who were
to join Sunday evening. She besought
the priest to pray for her that she
might be healed. For three days he
prayed with the young lady and her
family. Sunday night she hobbled to
the altar to join the Sodality, and when
the priest put the society medal about
her neck she arose in sight of all and
departed without crutches. She left
the church weeping for joy, and is ap-
! parently as we'll as ever The ailair
! created much excitement in the neigh
borhood and is the talk of the town.

A Tree Growing Out Of a House.

From time to time for the past twenty
five years cur attention has been at.
tracted by items concerning singular
phenomenon, which has made Green's

1864 tree sprang from = crack on the
top Of the court house tower at that
place. At first it was tiny, wee green.
shoot, but soon took on the dignity of
tree, putting forth its leaves in the
spring time and spreading its lengthen-
ing branches as modestly ds other trees,
which were far beneath it, ltsteadlly
grew as the years went by, getting its
moisture from no one knew where, until
it became widely known as the clone
Tree"
In 1872 a second tree was noticed
starting from a crevice near the first.
Soon third and then a fourth put in
their appearances until at the present
time there are seven of these wonders
growing in the cracks in the solid ma
solry 12S feet from the ground.
The first tree, that of 1864, is now six
feet in height and two inches in diameter.
Growing in soil under favorable condi-
tious the tree would no doubt have at
tanned five or six times its present height
and diameter in its twenty-five years of
exalted existence. The other trees are
mere shoots compared with the first, but,
as they are to be let alone, may in time
make quite respectable Hoosier forest
