A query, How can bad language

King and Superintendent Palmer.
Miss Laughlin, who has quite
reputation locally as singer as well
as reader, rendereda vocal solo in

The public school libraries was dis
cussed by Prof. Brollier in a talk of
some time.
Compulsory education, which seems
to have struck every corner of the
state as necessity, was then taken
up and discussed by Profs. Teats,
Gnegy and Supt Palmer. The dis
cussion of this most important sub
ject consumed the rest of the session
and in their talks the speakers show
ed very clearly that to advance the
scholars and rising generation of the

to attend school was almost impera-

Some months ago Mr.. John Shart-
ger, our fellow-townsman, conceived
the idea that Mrs Mary E. Bell and
her children were entitled to pen
sion from the government for services
rendered by her husband in the regu-
lar army, but upon investigation at
the Pension Bureau he found that
she was not eligible to receive pen
sion owing to the fact that her hus-
band had ended his own life by sui
eide. Mr.. Shartzer was not satisfied,
however, with his investigation and
went to see Senator Wellington and
Senator-elect McComas and Congress
mau Mcdonald, before whom he laid
the whole matter with the result that
on last Monday a bill was introduced
in Congress to place Mrs. Bell and
her children upon the pension roll,
which, if passed and approved by the
President lit being private bilD will
give about $14 per month. We trust
that the matter will be pushed rapid
ly. Mr.. ShartZer, as well as the other
gentleman interested in getting the
matter before Congress, deserve much
credit for their efforts in trying to OBJ
tain relief for the worthy widows of
soldiers, especially in the case of Mrs.

Vertical Writing in The Schools.

About a month ago the system of
vertical writing was introduced in the
public schools of Oakland by Princi-
pal Sanner. Since its introduction
the pupils have advanced in this par
ticular study fifty per cent as was
evidenced by some of the specimens
shown the editor few days ago.
This system of writing has been in
troduced in the schools of Baltimore
where the advancement has been
equal to that made by the pupils here.

How to Prevent Pneumonia,

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always results from a cold or
from an attack of la grippe. During
the epidemic OF la grippe few years
ago when SO many cases resulted in
pneumonia, it was observed that
the attack was never followed by that
disease when Chamberlain Cough
Remedy was used. 1t counteracts
any tendency of a cold or la grippe to
result in that dangerous disease. 1t
is the best remedy in the world for
bad colds and la grippe. Every bot
tie warranted. For sale by Oakland

Teachers Institute in Oakland.

Last saturday morning at III o CLOCK
the local teachers institute was open
ed in the public school building in
Oakland for a session of one day with
forty-three teachers in attendance,
the largest so far Of any institute
held this year.
Rev r. b. Ward, pastor of st. Paul's
NJ. E. church offered q felvent pray
er after which the institute joined in
singing.
In the absence of Mr. Fred A. Thay-
err, who was called out of town on
business, Mr.. Julius G. Renninger, u
bright young attorney of Oakland,
made the address of welcome.
Profs. Teats, FrantZ, Bernard and
Lee made some very pointed and
timed remarks on educational topics
which were we'll received by the
teachers present, followed by an in
teresting talk by Rev. Ward.
Miss Weber, assistant teacher at
the Oakland school, read q very in
teresting paper on vertical writing,
after which Prof U. q. Palmer dis
cussed the subject in which he urged
all the teachers to adopt the system
for their respective schools. Prof. r.
r. Sanner called the attention of the
teachers present to specimen work of
the Oakland pupils in this branch of
study on exhibition in different parts
of the room, some of which would do
credit to the mastars of the art of
writing
1.-THE Teacher In and Out of SCHOOL,
was discussed very ably by L. NJ. Ber-
nard and G. g. Teats, both of whom
laid some facts bare which all teach
ers would do well to initiate.
After singing America" an ad-
iournment was had until 100 p. m,
when the institute was again opened
by song.
The subject, "School Room Work, :"
was opened by A. l.. Lee who was fol-
lowed in the discussion of the ques-
ton by Messrs. Teats, Gnegy and
Fringer. During the discussion of
this subject many thoughts of value
to the progressive and younger
teachers were brought out.
DR.. G. M. p King, who is up on ed
vocational as well as all other matters
pertaining to the elevation of man
kind, made an interesting address
which was well received by those pres
ent and also greatly enjoyed.

FIRE AT DEER PARR.
The Methodist Church Burned aud Dwell.
ing Partially Destroyed on Sunday.

The Methodist Church Burned and a Dwell
ing Partially Destroyed on Sunday.
Last Sunday afternoon about one
O'Clock telegram was received here
by Mayor Jamison asking that the
fire department be sent to Deer Park
at once as a fire was in l"ogress in
that town which threatend 10 destroy
number of buildings if not checked
Immediately. Upon receipt of the
message an alarm was given and the
chemical engine taken to the station
here and loaded upon a car to which
was attached an engine sent from
Deer Park for the purpose of trans
porting the apparatus and tiremen to
the above point. The run was made
to Deer Park in twelve minutes, the
train consisting of Il gondOla, box
car and the engine.
Upon arriving at Deer Park it was
found that the Methodist Episco-
pal church was already in ashes
and a portion of Mrs. Chidester's re-
sidence, radjoining the church pro
perty, had been destroyed besides do
ing considerable damage to the resi-
dence of Mr.. William Thrasher. This
being the case it was decided not to
unload the engine from the car and
after spending an hour or two in the
town the apparatus and men were re-
turned to Oakland, arriving here a
little after five o'clock.
The fire is supposed to have ignited
from spark emitted from the church
flue, which was made of terra Gotta
pipe, and falling upon the roof or be-
tween the roof and ceiling, itsmOuld-
ering for several hours before being
discovered. On the morning of the fire
q session of the Sunday school had
been held, las was usual, and after that
the church was closed, no other ser
vice having been arranged for the day.
The church property, upon which
q debt had recently been discharged,
was built a number Of years ago and
although small it was comfortable
building and answered all the pur-
poses for which it had been erected.
There was no insurance, it having
lapsed but a few weeks ago. The
property was valued at 81 900 and to
rebuild it will be a hardship upon the
people of Deer Park, the cOngrega-
ton being quite small. Rev. Funk is
the pastor and has been untiring in
his efforts to build up and sustain
his flock
Mrs, Chidester's house, which was
partially destroyed, was insured for
$500, which will fully cover the dam
age incurred as a result of the fire,
the roof and a portion of the second
story being burned off.
Mr.. William Thrasher's house, sit
uated on the opposite side of the
church from Mrs. Chidester's, was
damaged to some extent and was on
ly saved through the heroic efforts
put forth by the owner and a num-
Der of his friends and neighbOrs.
While fighting to save his property
Mr.. Thrasher was seriously burned
about the face and hands.

that every spring this fish is the espe-
cial prey Of Shippingport fishermen.
who catch them in great numbers be-
low the falls.
: The spoon bill is probably the largest
fish that swims the Ohio river He is
anywhere from a foot long to six feet,
but also half of him is bill The bill is
spoon shaped, but is single one. The
lower lip is short. the bill being used
much like spade. The spoonbill has
no scales. but is covered with a tough
hide. Altogether he is an uncanny OBJ
ject and far from a delicacy in appear
ance. He is also called by some shovel
nose cat. =
Every spring spoonbills in schools
visit the falls of the Ohio It is a tradi-
tion that they come up all the way
from the gulf of Mexico every spring to
spawn at the FALLS but more credit is
given the theory that they live scat
tered in the river right along and only
congregate in the spawning season.
