ABOUT THE NORMAL.
Abilene Asked the to Pledge 100
PUPILS for Model School.

The county superintendent sent out
Monday by the school children SOO'cir-
culars to the parents Of Abilene re-
garding the model department Of the
normal. He says;
The teachers Of Dickinson county
have voted that we again have the
model school as the principal feature
Of our June normal. In order to
do this we must have children Of the
various grades. We must depend
largely on the city to furnish these.
Last year Abilene failed to supply
enough to give us good classes in
each grade. Unless we have one
hundred pledged before hand, we
must hold the normal in some neigh
boring city that will gladly pledge the
number We prefer to hold it in
Abilene. The small sum Of $l.OO per
pupil is no consideration when COM
pared with the good the children re-
ceive. In case you are unable to pay
the fee, we will admit your child free
il the class is not too large.
Unless the 100 pupils are forth
coming the normal institute is likely
to be held at some other town, prob
ably Chapman, for the'sfrst time in
the couuty's history-UAbilene is the
place for the meeting and we are
satisfied that removal would be very
unpopular. 1t should not be difficult
to secure 100 pupils in this city and
the response should be"generous and
prompt.

DEATH OF BRENT L. BALDWIN.
1t Occurred Mt Rainbow Lake, New
York, This Morning.

1t Occurred Mt Rainbow Lake, New
York, This Morning.
Mr.. Brent L. Baldwin one of the best
died at an early hour this morning at
cachier Of the Traders National Bank, and
the first news Of his death came In a
telegram from his wife, who was with him
at the time.
The news Of Mr.. Baldwin's death was by
no means unexpected, but 1t came as none
the less of q blow to his friends and busi-
ness associates. He had been sufferer
from consumption for some time. and early
in the summer he went to the Adirondacks
in the hope that the bracing air Of the
mountains might prolong his life.
This was not the case, and he weak
ened gradually until the end came this
morning.
Mr. Baldwin was a native Of this city
He was grandson Of Mr.. w. W. Birth and
a son Of Mr.. Edward Baldwin. who was
in his day a prominent business man in
this city. Upon leaving school he entered
the Bank Of the Republic and worked his
way up until he became the paying teller
of that institution. When the Traders
Bank was organized he was elected cash.
Ter. a position he had filled ever since.
He was in the fortieth year of his age,
and leaves a wife and three daughters. A
brother, Mr.. VIM. B. Baldwin, who was
the cashier Of the National Capital Bank,
died about year ago.
Mrs. Baldwin will leave for home with
the body Of her husband this evening. 1t
will be taken to the residence of Mrs. B. p.
Moxley, 1903 18th street. The arrangements
for the funeral have not yet been COM
pisted. but It will probably be held from
Mrs. Moxley's house some time Sunday.
