the cause of their sufferings and stop

During these periods when they are not
drinking coffee they feel better They
are getting we'll in small installments.
How much better it is to stop short
on the coffee and shift to well made
Postum and get well once and for all.
AS soon as this is done the destroying
effects of coffee are stopped and a
powerful rebuilding agent is set to work
Health comes back by bounds and so
long as the right food and drink are
used, and improper food is left alone
the cure is permanent.

the coffee for a few weeks until 1 felt

The suicide theory is generally dis
credited. although he is said to have
acted strangely for some time, and the
suspicion against him of having signed
Senator Forney's name to a $4,000
check in Kansas City is thought to be
the real cause of his disappearance. All
his property seems to have been heavily
mortgaged, and his affairs in Sumner
county are in such a state that it is al
most impossible to discover in a short
time just how much he was in debt
The search for him is being kept up in
a desultory way, but without result.

The Normal Institute.

The Teachers Institute, which is now
being held at this place, is progressing
nicely under the directions of Prof. Cobb
with the assistance mentioned last week.
Prof. Cobb is a good instructor and his
work, especially in arithmetic and didac-
tics is fully appreciated.
Miss Wilson has charge of the pri.
mary work and her power to gain and
hold the attention Of the "tots" is some
thing wonderful and probably not to be
excelled anywhere. Miss Wilson carries
with her an almost countless number of
thoroughly practical methods Of busy
work for the lower grades as well as a
large number for the higher ones, which
she is presenting to the teachers; and is
using an untiring effort to instill them
into the minds of the teachers that they
may be able to interest their pupils with
them. Her methods are largely original
and I think orr teachers have fully APP
preciated them, and the material she has
furnished US as well. She has a kind
and pleasing way of presenting herself
and 1 think every teacher will be better
for having known her.
Prof. Jackson united the knots ofmany
difficult sentences for US and arranged a
lasting interest in his class in penman-
ship by his thorough drills in muscular
movement, while Miss Reed gave excel.
lent drills in the fundamental principles
of arithmetic, also geography, dwelling
quite at length on our new possessions,
a thing we very much needed.
Every teacher seemed to be full Of in
terest from the first and a more jolly and
pleasant, as we'll as a hard working set
Of teachers would be hard to find.
The Institute was honored with many
guests among whom was Mr.. M j. Bailey,
who gave an interesting talk, which, if
summed up in a practical way and heed
ed, will, undoubtedly do good to all who
heard it.
Yesterday our Institute closed and
each teacher goes soon to meet her
school and it is to be hoped that they
will strive continually to get in closer
touch with each other in the work and
thereby make Custer county one of the
foremost leaders in education.

disposition. Her life a blaneless one,
her sudden death Is a great sorrow, not
only to her immediate relatives, but also

known her from girlhood up. She now
rests in the home Of peace where there
is no more sorrow and upon which rests
no shadow. falls no stain, where those
