Two Ohio Polanders Get Wives fol
Fifty Dollars Eaeh-All Are
Well Satisfied.

TOLEDO, O., Jan. ga very unique
wedding was held on Kelley's Island
Wednesday. A year ago Joseph Volk
left his family in Poland and came to
this country, settling on the island.
After a time came the news that his
wife had died. He had two grown
daughters left over there, but he had
not enough money to get them over.
He borrowed $50 each from Peter
Mile and Joseph Pidock to pay his
children's passage to America. Two
weeks ago they arrived, but when the
men wanted their money he could not
pay it.
Finally Mr.. Volk proposed to let
them have his daughters as wives
in payment of the debts. Mary is IS,
while Annie is only IA. The men
gratefully accepted the offer and
Wednesday a Cleveland priest was
rowed across through the ice from
Marblehead and the day was cele-
brated by a double wedding in, true
Polish fashion.
The girls r satisfied, so is the
father and SO are the two men with
the bargain.

MILITARY AND NORMAL, SCHOOL.
Prof. wiIkerson Wishes to Form q
Stock Company, Lease the Fleet
Grounds and Erect Q Suitable
Building for That Purpose.

To the Editor OF the Ledger.
WILLIE HALsELL OoLLEetE, VINTTA,
IND. TER, Jan. 22.-Dear Sir: At the
suggestion of Mr.. Cullen, OF your city,
I write you in reference to the advis-
ability Of establishing q Military and
Normal school in Mexico, and also in
reference to the ability Of your city to
support and maintain an institution Of
this kind. 1t seems to me that Mexico
is centrally located and IL f~avorably
situated for such an enterprise.
If your citizens will take hold Of
this matter and give substantial en-
couragement and hearty support to
this undertaking, I am confident that
such a school would prove q success
from the start. In support of this
statement I would cite you to the
famous Indiana Normal school, q pri-
vate institution of Valparaiso, Indi-
ana, which was organized September
16, 1873.
The school opened in rented quar-
ters with four instructors, four de-
partments and 80 students. Now the
Institution has 46 instructors In IS
thoroughly equipped departments, and
an average attendance Of 1900 stu
dents. All this has come through the
hearty support and cooperation Of
the citizens of Valparaiso with Presi-
dent Brown. The same thing has been
repeated in Winter Park College Of
Des Moines, Iowa, and the Chillicothe
Normal school of North Missouri.
What has been done at three places 1
am sure could be duplicated in Mexi-
CO, under favorable conditions.
The value of a good Normal and
Military school to Mexico cannot be
estimated. No doubt 1t would fill q
long felt want and would supply the
missing link in Mexico's educational
system. Such an institution, If prop
erly conducted, would bring to Mex
leo several hundred students, who
would spend every year from two to
three hundred dollars among your
merchants and house keep
ers. 1t would attract to your city
many wealthy farmers who would
move there to educate their sons.
Many of these would invest in city
property and in this way boom your
real estate.
There is no doubt but that the Mill
tary and Normal school would be felt
directly by every business man In
Mexico, Such an institution, II estab-
lished in your midst, would enable
many a young man-too poorto go of
to school-to obtain an education
which might otherwise be denied him.
This school will in no wise conflict
with the interests Of Mexico's other
educational institutions, but will
them in every material
way.
I should be pleased TO have you In
terview some of your leading citizens
with a view of ascertaining what can
be done in this matter and what the
attitude of your citizens is towards
this enterprise.
Respectfully,
JOHN w. WILKINSON.

Rev. Dr.. Penn, Of st. Charles, NO.,
Seized With Apoplexy.

ST. CHARLES, Mo-, Jan. 24.-Rev.
G. w. Penn, pastor Of the Fifth st.
Methodist church in this city, was
stricken with apopiexy in the midst
of his discourse at last evenings SER
vices. Rev. Penn has been feeling
badly for several weeks and his par
ishiOners were delighted to see him out
Sabbath evening. The pastor con-
Quoted the first part of the service,
seemingly without effort, but after
announcing his text, and just as he
began the sermon, he became faint
and asked to be excused. He sank
heavily into a chair nearby and be-
came unconscious. Several Of the
members of the congregation rushed
forward and carried the minister into
his private study, just back Of the
pulpit and the meeting was dismiss
ed. A physician was summoned and
he found Rev. Penn suffering from a
stroke of apoplexy. Every effort to
arouse him from his stupor was una
vailing. A couch was secured and the
stricken man was carried on the
shoulders of the members of his
flock to his home, several blocks
away, where he continues to lie un-
conscious, despite the efforts of the
attending physicians. His condition
is quite serious.
Hev. Penn hoe boon Paotor of tho
Fifth st. church for six years and is
one Of the most popular ministers
that has ever been stationed in st.

TO TEST A GRAND JURY's POWER

CLINTON, Mo-, Jan. 22.-For the

Caifee, cashier Of the Citizens Bank,
and w. NJ. Osborn, cashier of the
Farmers Bank, both of Windsor, to

produce the books, not for general
inspection by grand jurors, but to
reveal the time deposits of certain
citizens in force June 1, 1897.
By mutual agreement the grand
jury has adjourned until March 10.
Meantime formal proceedings will be
instituted by the two cashiers before
the Supreme court to determine the
