Prof. Donohue, wayfaring athlete, wal

of his remarkable strength and deXterity il

Joseph Gins, who lives in st. Francois
| county near the county line on the Farming
| ton road, lost his OuSe and most of its con-
tents by fire last Friday night. When dis
covered about half past eight O'Clock the
flames enveIoped the building and Mr.. c.
and family, barely escaped with their lives.
| As there had been no fire about the premis-
es all day, it is almost certain the contlagra-
| ton was the work of incendiaries, and there
is good clue that will. perhaps lead to the
| discovery of the guilty parties. Mr.. c. has
been disturbed at nights several times dur
ing the past month and he had frequently
expressed himself as expecting some depre-
dalton.

The county court appoints between June
% and July 1, 1891, two persons, who, to-
gether with the county commissioner, con-
stitute the county institute board. The
county institute board employs the conduc-
tor and the instructors of the institute, and
fixes their salaries. The conductor is the
superintendent of the institute; the instruc-
tors his assistants. No can be a
conductor or instructor unless licensed by
the State Training School. This board, COM
posed of the conductor and the instructors,
| and of which the county commissioner
is member, grants three grades of certiti-
Gates in the common branches. The second
and third grades are good for one year IN the
county for which issued; the first, for three
years in any county of the State. The county
commissioner may examine teacher who
for good and sufficient reasons did not at
tend the examination held by the institute
board. The county commissioner receives
no examination fees, but salary as conduc-
tor if licensed by the State Training school.
All certificates now in existence are valid
until they expire. The next State Teachers
Association will be held at Pertle Springs

The attendance will undoubtedly be large.
Our 'fath doctor" is gradually widening
his field of operations. His latest trip was
to Pennington, and following is the way in
which he is reported by the Times of that
place: "a crowd of men, women and chill
dren in the vicinity of Orten IL Davis and
Kugel's stores last Saturday about noon at
tracted considerable attention and elected
numerous inquiries as to its meaning. Many
of them were there to be healed of their all
ments and were patiently awaiting the ar
rival of faith DOCTOR who had an ap-
pointment to be present in the room over
Kuge's. 1t was about the middle of the
afternoon when the doctor arrived, and be-
fore be alighted from the bus the people be-
gan to crowd up the stairway leading to the
room he had engaged. Some strange things
of what this doctor has done have been told +,
among them the removing of teeth with lit
tie or no pain by simply placing his index
| finger on the tooth and pressing against it a
short time, when it drops out. Our friend
Seward Burke, who has been bad crippled
up with rheumatism for number of years,
and who tries nearly everything that comes
along, has of course submitted himself to
the faith doctors treatment. He says he has
| been somewhat relieved of his many aches
and pains, and is inclined to believe that the
| treatment has done him some good. 1t is
said that a short time ago be enabled wom-

hands over her little and commanded her
in peremptory tone TO get up and walk.

among the crowd that had gathered to see
him last Saturday we have not learned, but
