Livingston, Oct. 17.-County Superin-
tendent of Schools Miss Alma Evans
has been busy during the week making
arrangements for the teachers insti-
tute. The institute will be held in this
city commencing Nov 20 and contin-
uing for five days from that date.
State Superintendent Carleton will be
here and will deliver lecture Tuesday
evening, Nov. 81. On Friday evening
President Reid of the agricultural COL
lege of Bozeman will be here and will
deliver a lecture on the Making of
Men" Professor Reid is considered
one of the ablest instructors and lee
turers In the state of Montana, il not
in the West, and his excellent lecture
will be instructive to teachers and
source of entertainment to the citizens
of Livingston who attend. Miss Evans
states that feature of the institute
will be the compulsory attendance of
teachers and an institute for school
trustees, which will take place on the
Thursday afternoon following the open
ing of the institute. The teachers Of
the county Will be required to attend
the institute, and in the event that any
neglect to do so their absence will be
construed as an indifference to the
cause of education and their work will
be graded accordingly. The presence
of the school trustees at the session
set apart for their business will present
an opportunity for teachers and trus-
tees to become acquainted. 1t is
thought that this will serve useful
purpose when the trustees select teach
erS for the next year, as 1t permits
of wider knowledge Of the teachers
they have to choose from and will
doubtless result in teachers being
adapted for the place they are chosen
to fill. The instructors employed by
the state have not yet been announced.
The daily programme will take in the
following subjects in the order named:
Numbers, correlation of reading, writ
ing, language and spelling, geography,
civil government, teachers class in
English educational questions and
problems of the day, calisthenics. ped
agogy and school management. 1t is
expected that this institute will be
the most largely attended of any in
Park county, and no effort will be
spared to make it a complete success.
Miss Evans is making a most thorough
preparation of preliminary plans, and
doubtless her energy will be rewarded
by the success which will attend the
institute. 5-,-.q-
In the district court to-day A. l.. Lee
secured judgment against George T.
Young, sheriff of Park county, in an
action brought to recover the value of
some barber shop furniture which the
sheriff had sold under a writ of at
tachment. The case was tried in JUS
tice court some time ago and was won
by the plaintiff, and the action decided
to-day was the result of the defend
ants appeal. ,.,.s ,.,....,-, II
The result of the jury's deliberations
in the case Of Bolivar A. Stevens, con-
victed of manslaughter in the district
court, and William Brown, convicted
of an attempt to blackmail We'll
come, has led to motion for new
move for stay of sentence pending
the decision of the motion. If the re-
quest is disallowed it is understood
that an appeal to the supreme court
will be made in both instances.

dents of Park county, died at his home
on Shields river last Friday morning

accumulated considerable property.

the Rock Creek church and the last
sad rites were administered by Rev
