Teachers Institute.

The teachers of Tippecanoe township
met in institute at Tippecanoe, Satur-
day, Oct. IL, 1899. The subject ode
votiOnsl Exercises" was handed by
PrOf. 5. A. Laird, the principal thought
being that the exercises were more of a
form than the real spirit of the thing.
II. f. Barrett gave, How to Teach
Reading" saying that one of the first re-
quirements of teacher in reading Is
for him to have full understanding
and love for the nature of the subject.
He also stated that the teac. ing Of
reading is not having the proper effect,
that 1t is neglected all along the line.
The mechanical method is not the most
perfect, the thought method is better,
but We finally arrive at the crOwning
point through both methods.
J. f. Laird then took up the subject
"The Criterion IF Time," and said that
time, pitch, quality and force are en-
bodied in the subject, and the teacher
must get all these points before he can
give the thought the author intended.
The subject of "Grouplng" was given
in very interesting way by 0. n. Tay
lOr who made it clear that the grouping
of punctuation depends on the thought.
Z. F. Cooper gave talk on "The First
Day of School,"
A. NJ. Laird gave the institute some
new ideas on, "Opening and Organiza-
tion of the Schools.
The afternoon session met at / 80
Supt. Marks being present took the
chair.
The subject of "Classificstion of
Pupils" was taken by &. w. Warren
who said there must be a number of
pupils who can unite in the same men
tai act to form class.
The subject of "Program" was de-
lightfully presented b, Miss Grace
Hall by model program.
Miss Bertha Fites gave "Hesting and
Ventilation" in very instructive way
Prof. S. A. Laird followed with "Or-
ganic Education" stating that the
principal thought in education is not a
preparing for life, but it is life and that
it is entering into the abundant life as
taught by Jesus Christ and that organ
ic education is the organized, unified
education as broad as the universe.
In conclusion Supt. Marks gave a
good talk on school work. The lnsti
tute then adjourned to meet at Tippe-
canoe, Nov. 4.

Thomas j. Apple, farmer living
south of InwOOd, sEOt and instantly
killed his divorced wife between 3 and
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, and i'm
mediately sfterward killed himself.
MIR. Apple possessed sn exceedingly ir
ritable temper and he was urged on to
this crime by his wife's recently pro-
curing q divorce. Just Monday after
noon she was granted a divorce from
her husband on the grounds of cruel and
inhuman treatment. They had been
divorced about five years ago but were
remarked again in about six months.
His abuse did not cease and so brutal
was his treatment Of her, that she
came to be in absolute fear of him
This was the cause of their second
divorce. They left the court room to-
gether after the trial, but it was noticed
that he was very much wrought up and
his passion barely held in check, but of
course nothing was thought of it at the
time
Tuesday he began to remove some
of his furniture from the home and
while his wife was stirring some mush
on the kitchen stove he approached
from behind and emptied one barrel of
a double -barreled shot gun. The load
was not the ordinary powder and shot
shell used in hunting, but slug of his
own making. 1t entered on the right

bending forward holding the barrel
pointed toward his chest, pushed the
trigger with stick. He fell back on
the ground and was found with the gun
at his feet. Both had bled profusely,
their clothing, the kitchen floor, and the
yard near where Mr.. Apple lay were
besmeared with blood and gave EVIL
dence of the butchery that had been
going on.
There was no one near at the time
the shooting occurred, but man who
was hauling gravel on the road near by
says he heard the second shot, the first

Polk Township to Raise Sugar Beets.
The factory which has lately been es-
tablished at North Judson for the man
ufacture of sugar out of sugar beets
did not succeed in finding as much
acreage suitable for the cultivation of
the beet in the Immediate neighbor-
hood of North JudsOn as 1t desired. It's
promoters were compelled to go farther
away from home and they have lately
entered into contracts with same of
our Polk township farmers. The sugar
beet culture is, though new, promis-
ing and rising industry, and there is
much land IN Marshall county out of
which much money could be realized
if sOwn with this vegetable.
The conditions imposed by the COM
papy are that no less than five acres
must be guaranteed by any one man and
they in turn promise to pay 81 per ton
Those farmers who have already en-
tered the field have guaranteed from
to 40 acres apiece. AS Polk township
is considerable distance from the re-
fnery, the growers there will be com.
PEELED to pay freight, but carload rates
will be given them and it will not
amonnt TO more than % cents per ton
However, they are promised, if success

in 1901.
An average yield is from 1215 to Il
tons per acre A very poor one, which
is being harvested this year in Michi
gan because of drought, is from to
tons per acre.
The two Webb brothers, who are
prosperous farmers of Marshall county
recently went to Bay City, Mich, where
there is plant located, and inspected
the land lying near there and the
method of harvesting the beet, and are
prepared to begin the cultivation il

Speaking of the sentence of Larry
Spellmsn to IL years in the Jackson
prison, for robbing the Richland Mich
bank. the Kalamazoo Gazette OF Tues
day says:
He was calm and self-possessed when
the sentence was rendered and walked
stoically back to his cell, without say
ing word.
William Russell, one of the gang of
robbers, who turned states evidence
against his pals, is still in jail, his case
not being on the calendar of the present

DUE TO VACCINATION.
Claim That Osceola Small POx Case Re
suited TherefrOm.

Claim That Osceola Small Pox Case Re-
suited TherefrOm.
The MIshswaks correspondent of the
South Bend Times says: The statement
has been made here by person well
acquainted with the facts that the small
pcx case in the family of Lewis Walters
at Osceols was the direct result of vac
cination. 1t is said the girl was vac
cinated few days previous; that
when the rash developed her father
took her to Chicago physician for
treatment, and upon arriving there the
doctor told him she had small pox, due
to the action of the virus applied, and
that he should hasten home with the
girl. If this is true, the Chicago doc
tors system of taking precautions
against the spread of infectious dis
eases cannot be commended for the
trip home meant dangerous exposure to
scores of railway passengers. This
story may be true and serves to con-
firm the theory rapidly gaining foot
hold among some medical men that
vaccination is an sntiquated practice;
that it is not preventive but is posi-
lively detrimental.

Try Their Hand at LakevilIe-The Van

Three burglars broke into the rear
room Of A. u. Van Liews store at
Lakeville Sunday morning at 3 o'clock.
While they were getting in, w. W. Wat
kins, the Nandslia station agent, came
upon them as he was returning home.
The thieves drew their guns on MIN and
kept him standing there until they gave
up getting into the store room, as they
could not force the door. They then
went through his pockets, taking $40

marched him down to the Nandalis
switch and locked him in box car
when they bade him good night" and
took their leave.
After about 20 minutes he succeeded
in getting the car door open and at once
gave the alarm aud several citi-
