Persecution of Orphan.

II have heard also that Chester Gabriel
an orphan from Tecumseh, Neb., was forced
to leave the institute after having been SUBJ
jected to petty persecution by his teachers
He also found fault with the food and is
said to have been beaten severely. His lot
finally became so unbearable that he ran
away and L believe has found work in a
South Omaha Packing house.
"Quarrels among the employees are OF
frequent occurrence and John Zadina, one of
the supervisors, especially has had a num-
ber Of fights on the premises. The accounts
of these combats are circulated among the
pupils and interfere with the progress of the
work. According to one story current at
the institute Zadna made an attempt to
bully Lloyd Rhiley, captain of the foot ball
team and a resident of East Omaha The
young deaf and dumb athlete was more than
match for the warden and gave him a
severe thrashing. For this offense Rhiley
was expelled from the institute, but Zadina
is still continued on the pay roll. Zadina is
also said to have had trouble with Ziba
Osman, mute from Benedict, who was like
wise able to take his own part, and with
Weldon Stoner of Beatrice. Stoner is not
a strong lad and / understand that he was
roughly handled. He carried the marks OF
a blow for several weeks

of fInsuborIinatiOn.

In the opinion of A. ]. Fairbanks, formerly
custodian of boys at the Nebraska Institute
for the Deaf and Dumb, that refuge for un
fortunates has become it subject for leg
islatlve inquiry. Mr.. Fairbanks has a
daughter in the institution and was there in
an official capacity during the first month OF
the term beginning October IA.
Many children have been forced to leave
the institute" he says, through the brutal
treatment Of those entrusted by the state
with their care and know OF number OF
parents who have refused to allow their
children to return after hearing their stories
OF the practices INDUCED in. The school is
doing no good under present methods and
the officials responsible are Superintendent
Henry E. Dawes and his wife, who acts as
matron.
Pupils are often punished shamefully. al
though entirely innocent of any wrong in
tentlon, but who have no sufficient way of
expressing themselves to make a defense
Many children have been beaten who did not
even know the nature of the charge against
them. Besides the harsh treatment the, in
mates are often forced to eat food which is
unclean and any pupil who protests is
roughly handled. Another injury to the
wellbeing of the school is the uuarreling
among the employees. During my stay there
two of them had a rough and tumble fight
and the worsted one was badly cut about the
head

"On one occasion while the boys under my
charge were at the dinner table Charles
Porter. an orphan from Humboldt, Neb.,
found that the bread which had been ap-
portioned to his plate had been half-de-
voured by mice. The morsel also had an
offensive odor and the mute threw it upon
the table in disgust. For this alleged insub-
ordination the child received a blow on the
head from the matron which knocked him
from his chair. He was then taken into the
office of the superintendent where he was
evidently beaten further, as he came out cry
ing bitterly. The boy said that he had been
thrown across chair and fogged with
heavy strap l afterward examined the
piece of bread and found it filthy
Another unfortunate who was punished
for finding fault with the food was John
kubat of Crete, Neb., who found streaks of
dirt in the molasses. Kubat was asked why
he left the syrup untasted and answered that
1t was dirty. In the sign language the words
dirty and hog are expressed by signs
somewhat alike, and the boy was probably
understood as referring to the management
by the latter title. Although / did not wit

Why not generate your power from

ways and HOSTS; also, furnish light

SPEAKS WELL OF HIM.
Warrington Enterprise Thinks Very
Highly 0f.Pr0f. Armstrong.

We take pleasure in mentioning,
editorially, the lecture of Prof. Rob
ert A. Armstrong, at the M. E
church, on Friday night oflast week.
1t was one of the best to which
Warrington people have had the
privilege of listening. He handled
his subject with a master hand, and
held his audience from start to fin
ish, spell bound, alike with his elo-
quence and humor.
Prof Armstrong is self-made
man, one of the states foremost in
structors, and well able to deal with
the key words to success.
He was born on French Creek,
Upshur county, and by his own pow
ers forged his way through all diff
culties TO the ee-presidency of the
West Virginia University, until the
abolition of the same some few
months ago.-Enterprize.

WILL SUSTAIN BOYERS.
President of Seminary Not to Blame
For Students Weunding.

The Rev G. B. Graham, who is in
Buckhannon attending the meeting
OF the trustees Of the Nj. e. seminary.
will return home tomorrow afternoon
says the Wheeling News. The shoot
ing OF one Of the students about two
weeks ago is the one important mat
ter under consideration. There is but
little doubt, from the reports brought
by parties who are familiar with the
facts in the matter, that President
BoyeFs will be exonerated from all
blame in the matter, as the students
acting as guards were appointed by
the marshal and acting under his or
ders and not those of the school The
case has nevertheless been one TO be
deeply regretted and has injured the
school. More than three hundred
students were in attendance at the
seminary when the incident occurred.
While everything possible has been
done to quiet the excitement arising
over the affair, yet there is as much
interest felt In it in the church to-day
as on the day of its occurrence. The
student who was shot it still living,
and the Rev. G. E. Clark, who return
ed from there yesterday, reports that
he is slightly better. There is yet a
possibility of his recovery if the bull
let can be located.

Rev. William Wallace.

The death of Rev. William Wal
was briefly noted in these columns
some days ago. The Waynesburg In
dependent in its last issue speaks OF
him as follows:
Rev. William Wallace, well known
and much esteemed minister OF the
Mp. church, died at his home in
East Waynesburg, November 8, 1899,
of Bright's disease. He was aged Is
years. He was native of Fayette
county, but came here many years
ago. He entered the ministry
in 1861, and was in the active
ministry of the M. P. denomi-
nation continuously until few
years ago. In his ministerial work
he served the Washington and
Waynesburg appointments. About
two years ago he had a stroke of par
alysis since which time he has been in
poor health. His wife preceded him
to the better land nearly two years
ago. Their adopted daughter, Mrs.
Amelia Hurshman, survives them.
Jas. @. Wallace, brother; and Mrs.
Fairchild and Mrs. Nye, sisters, all OF
Morgantown, and Mrs. John Mason,
of Palatine, W. Va, sister, survive
him. Rev. Wallace was man of
we'll defined Christian character, and

him. The funeral was largely attend

ANOTHER CHANCE.
We Have Another Opportunity
at the Glass House.
Final Decision Oyer Location PostpOn-
ed Until Tuesday Might've Thou
sand Dollars Raised-Eyery Body is
Hustling.

There is still a chance of getting
the new glass plant which has been
on the verge of moving to some other
town. The matter has been postpon-
ed by the members of the company
until Tuesday evening. They held a
meeting on Saturday evening TO take
up the question of permanent loca-
tion for the plant.
Representations were made to them
of the work that was being done by
those who were interested here and
the matter of town pride was invoked
to keep the industry here. The stock
holders were told of the effort that
was being made to raise bonus and
they consented to postpone the final
decision until Tuesday evening.
A small band of men went to work
in earnest on Saturday when it was
almost too late to land the plant and
by hard hustling they raised two
thousand dollars on that day, They
are still at work and expect to have
five thousand raised by Tuesday
night. This will be turned over to
the company in addition to the free
site, liberal gas rates and ether induce
ments that have already been given by
the various companies which own
these things.
The glass company at the meeting
on Saturday night voted to issue ten
thousand dollars additional stock
which may be taken by those who
subscribe to the bonus. This is an
additional indication that they mean
to do the right thing by the people of
the town.
The time is still very short in which
to raise the rest of the money that is
wanted but with the proper effort it
can be raised all right. The prospects
are certainly much better than they
have been at any time since the fac
tory.was first projected. 1t will mean
a great deal for US if we get it and we
can't afford to let it go.
