, Prof. Watts spoke Of the necessity of
teachers attending the Institutes.
United States History was presented
in most instructive and interesting way
by A. j. Slagle. He expressed himself
in favor of the topical method and OPP
posed the patent, humdrum method
so common among teachers, and re-
marked that a dead teacher would have
o dead school. He was follwed by
Prof. Sheriff., who emphasized the inn
portance of the teachers thorough
preparation of his subjects before pre-
senting them to his class; that teach
ers should study cause and effect know
where to find facts and teach our ma
tons history as n Of peace, and not
of blood.
Prof. T. N. Hale opened the discus
sion on character of Questions and
treated the subject in a very instruct
i've manner. He was followed by Prof.
Sheriff., who spoke in favor of the
teacher forming his own questions and
avoiding the use of the text book by
the teacher. ..r.{ ..5 id 81

Held for Killing Capt. Hedburg at Fort
Sheridan, Ill.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. 1.-THE federal
grand jury to-day returned an indict-
ment charging Lieut.. Nancy with the
murder Of Capt. Hedburg at Fort Sheri-
dan. The killing was the outcome of
an old disagreement. Nancy claims
that he shot in self-defense.
All the witnesses in the case were
heard over a week ago, but no vote
was taken on the question of an indict-
ment until to-day. 1t took but few
minutes to settle the case. There was
no question as to the killing. Gin view
of the evidence" said grand juror,
"there was nothing to do but bring in
an indictment for murder"
The time for the hearing Of the case
has not been set. A capias was issued
for the arrest of Nancy, who has been
at liberty under $10,O 900 bail.

Gray8seEd Boss VIII Spend Long PERIOD
Behind the Bars.
BROOKLYN, n. Y, Feb. 19.-John G.
McKane will probably resign his
position as superintendent OF the
Grayesend Sunday school, as his time
will be occupied in another direction for
some time to come. He was sentenced
to-day to six years at hard labor IN Sing
Sing prison.
BY 1918 the corridors were rendered
almost impossible as the crowds
swarmed on the stairways and Railways
and out into the street. At l0:O6 Judge
Bartlett took his seat on the Bench. r.
c. James then stood up and said:
''Your honor, | appear for the defend
ant, John Y. Mckane. | move for a
new trial under section 465 code of
criminal procedure, subdivisions
and g."
Judge Bartlett denied the motion.
Mr.. James then asked for an arrest of
Judgment on the grounds that the facts
as stated in the Indictment do not con-
stitute a crime; this was also denied.
Then Mr.. James asked the court to take
into consideration that the defendant
had never been convicted Of any felony
taken into consideration.
Judge Bartlett said he did not see
any circumstances which would war
rant such discretion. Mr.. James then
asked for a stay of execution OF Judg-
ment for twenty days to enable the de-
tendant to move on notice for GER
tifcate of reasonable doubt. Mr.. Shep-
pard said that it would be better for de-
fendant's counsel to wait until sentence
be pronounced before making this ap-
plication. Mr.. Sheppard moved for
sentence to be passed.
McKane, when asked what he had to
say, said: II do not know that can say
ANYTHING but what / said on the stand
during this trial. [ have never done
anything wrong to anyone as far as l
know. I never did anything directly or
indirectly wrong with regard to the cleo
ton, nor did [ ever counsel anyone else
to do anything wrong. | again say that
/ am not guilty of any otfense against
the law"
Judge Bartlett then proceeded to pass
sentence, and said: II do not feel in
clined to disregard the recommends
ton to mercy made by the jury. The
crime which the defendant committed
was a serious one. That great crime
seems to be one that demands an en-
phatic sentence. The penalty should
be SO severe as to express due condem-
nation, while not SO severe as to excite
sympathy. The sentence Of the court is
that the defendant be imprisoned in
Sing Sing state prison for six years"
When the sentence was pronounced
the one who seemed to be the least af-
fected was the "Chief' himself. The
words had scarcely passed from the
Judges lips when McKane turned
round and resumed his seat beside
his lawyers. A subdued murmur
OF establishment escaped from the
spectators who thronged the court
room, but it was quickly suppressed by
Judge Bartlett, who raped vigorously
with his gavel and ordered the police to
clear the court.

ACCUSED OF KILLING HIS WIFE.
benjamin Bixby Arrested at the instance
Of a GIenwood Citizen.

Of a Glenwood Citizen.
HUDSON, Wis, Feb. 15.-Benjamln
Bixby. of Emerald, who was arrested
and taken to Glenwood, Wis, charged
with the murder Of his wife January l,
is young and quite Well-to-do farmer.
He has family Of five chlldren,. the
youngest being Is months Old. B1xbY
is brother of the county superln-
tendent of schools, Frank W. B1xSby,
and is wel-educated and fine
appearing young man. Bixby was to
have had hearing before justice at
Glenwood yesterday, but District At
tornev Helms being absent, the: case was
adjourned until February 81. At the
time of Mrs. Bixby's death it was re-
ported that she was running sewing
machine directly under where the gun
was hanging on the wall; that in some
way the gun accidentally fell and struck
the floor in such manner as to dis
charge it, emptying the entire contents
into Mrs. Bixby's breast, which caused
instant death. A coroner's inquest was
held and the form of a post
mortem examination gone through
with. The examination was very un-
satisfactory to many of the neighbors,
who have since that time unearthed
some evidence that they claim is very
strong against the defendant. This led
to his arrest on complaint of w. Ii.
Fleming, neighbor. A little daughter,
who was the only eye witness, says in
her own words: "Papa shot mamma"
It is also rumored that jealousy
existed between the father and
mother, and that several unhappy
events had transpired in the family
circle within the past six years. Mrs.
Bixby had an insurance of $4,000 pay
able to her husband. The insurance
companies have had two detectives
working on the case for the
past month, but it is claimed by
Bixby's friends that they have
gathered nothing but circumstantial
evidence, while on the other hand
District Attorney Helms claims to have
many strong points against the defend
ant. The arrest of Bixby is the all-ab-
sorbing topic of the entire county, and
the result will be watched with much
interest. Bixby appears unconcerned
about the matter, claiming that he is
pleased with the action his neighbors
are taking. He feels confident that the
trial will bring out the true facts in the
case and result in making him free
man, and clear away the heavy cloud of
suspicion that now rests over him.

Greek Near Ellis junction.
ELLIS JUNCTION, Wis, Feb. 17.-One
man was instantly killed and two 9th
ers were seriously wounded by the col
lapse Of a bridge on the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul Railway, two miles
east of this place, late yesterday after
noon. A crew of men under the direc-
ton of Gus Johnson was engaged in
raising the timbers for new bridge
over Outlet Creek. The false work had
been placed in position. Two men,
Frank Walters and Martin Burke, were
on top Of the structure putting
the timbers in place, which were
being raised from the ground
with block and tackle by two men
whose names could not be learned.
Foreman Johnson was on the bridge
perintending the work. A severe
wind storm prevailed at the time. Sud-
denly terrific gust of wind caught the
guy ropes and they parted, the three
men, Walters, Burke and johnson. be-
ing precipitated into the creek, dis
lance of fifteen feet. Walters was
struck by falling timbers and instantly
killed. Burke was badly injured about
the hip and arms, and Johnson had his
hip broken besides receiving serious in
ternal injuries. It is doubtful if the
latter will recover. It was with great
difficulty that Burke was gotten from
under the timbers. The injured men
were at once brought to this place where
they received prompt medical attend
ance. They were all unmarried men
and resided at Green Bay
