DEATH FROM TRIMMING A CORN.

Fort Worth, Tex, August L.
Benjamin Wilbush, a prominent
druggist Of Houston, died this
evening with many peculiar cir
cumstances marking his last hours.
Last evening he was married to
Mrs. l.. E. Bryan as he lay on his
deathbed. Some days ago he
suffered amputation of the left
leg and then made will, leaving
most of his estate to Mrs. Bryan.
Objections were made by relatives
to the provisions of the instru-
ment and it was finally settled
that the marriage should follow,
that the lady might inherit his
property, valued at 100000. The
trimming of a corn was originally
responsible for his death. Blood
poisoning set in and amputation
resulted, but failed to give relief.

Against the Cigarette.
From the Saline Cou nty Index.


The Index recently allowed
young man to seek another job. One
of the reasons was the fact that he
smoked cigarettes. The Index is not
more strict in it's demands in this
line than great many business
men of today. Young man, If You
are addicted to this habit you had
better quit before you lose your
position. You may not know it but
it is fact that many firms had just
as soon employ ''whiskey soak"
as cigarette fiend," and the sooner
all young men who are given to
playing" with either of these dan
gerous things recognize this fact,
the better for them.

Money for Street Improvement

From the Ashland Bugle.-It has
been suggested that the town of
Ashland take out saloon license,
place it in the hands of a careful,
level headed manager, the entire
profits from the concern to be eX-

1t is estimated that a saloon would
supply a revenue exceeding $1,000

Summer School Closes.
jefferson City, Mo-,

Aug. 9th, l9O2.
The summer school Of Lincoln
Institute closed it's first session
Saturday, and in company with
Prof. Garnett, conductor Of the
summer school, the teachers and
those in attendance visited the
Capitol, the different departments
of state, the grounds, the armory
and penitentiary, and wound up
with an outing to Berry Springs
Saturday afternoon. The verdict
of all was, that the summer school
was a decided success, and all
express themselves as highly
pleased with the results. The
total enrolment was 80.
The following resolutions we're
adopted.
We, the teach ers in attendance
upon Lincoln Institute Summer
School assembled August 2, 1902,
at Lincoln Institute, Jefferson
City, Mo-, deem it fitting that we
express our appreciation for the
benefits which we have derived
from our attendance Of the Sum-
mer School.
Resolved, First, that we extend
our hearty thanks to Hon. W. T.
Darlington, State Superintendent
of public schools for his efforts to
establish the Summer School at
Lincoln Institute and for his
interest in and encouragement of
the same.
Second, That we extend our
sincere thanks to Prof. E. A.
Clark for his zeal and work in
assisting to establish and to Or
ganize the summer school at
Lincoln Institute.
Third, That we heartily thank
Prof. J. H. Garnett for opening SC
nobly and efficiently conducting
the same, and for his mastery
instruction; and to Professors G.
s. Murry and A. L. Reynolds for
their splendid instruction.
Fourth, That we extend oui
thanks to President B. F. Allen
and Professors Mebane, Mccall
and Rutledge for their valuable
talks on Pedagogy and Other
topics of educational interest.
Fifth, That we thank the Boari
of Regents for the use of the build
ings, library, laboratory, etc.
which have added much to oul
success and comfort.
Sixth, That we thank the loca
papers and press for the generous
manner in which they hav'
published the work of this Summe
School.
Recommendations: Whereas
the colored schools of the stat
should keep in touch with tn
tide of school.work throughout tn
country, and believing that tn
Summer School will aid materlall
to that end and further our ad
vancement;
We recommend, that the mex
General Assembly be asked for a
appropriation sufficient to put tn
Summer School at Lincoln Inst
tute on permanent basis.
We further recommend, that tn
colored teachers of the state as ia
as possible make strenuous effort
and sacrifice to attend the annu,
sessions of the l.. I. Summt
School.
That, we also most hearth
thank the good people of Jefferso
City for their courtesy and hoI
pitality shown us during our sta
here.
