Mrs. L. II. Wolfe Who Lives s Miles
East of Logan on the Carbon
Hill Road Saws:

willingly say the following to the
credit of Mr., and Mrs. Lingerfleld to
whom feel very grateful as ! con-
slider have received a great benefit
from glasses fitted by them, also for
the benefit of others who be affect ed
as / have been with their eyes. My
vision was not only quite defective
close by, but at a distance also, L
could not recognize any one p short
distance away, and in reading or
sewing my eyes would give out en-
tirely in a few minutes as the letters
would mix and blur, then my eyes
would pain me and 1 would be COM
PEELED to quit close work altogether.
Consequently am very thankful to
state that / can now see perfectly at
distance, also | can see to thread
the finest needle and can read with
out my eyes firing or aching, in fact
my eyes seem rested while reading.

DALE, SAYS:
I do most heartily thank Mr.. and
Mrs. Lingerfield for the benefit OBJ
tanned from glasses prescribed by
their most noteworthy system of
fitting glasses. AS the correction
given me is surely satisfactory,
which local and foreign talent con-
suited failed to produce for me. AS
I might say have worn glasses fit
ted by the best occulists in Colum-
bus, Ohio. But as stated l received
no satisfactory results from them.
Therefore, owing to the accomplish
ment of Mr.. and Mrs. Lingerfield in
my behalf / deem it my duty to
make statement of same in order to
forward the success of these optic-'
ians. In-as-much as it is evident
that people are prejudiced against
travelling doctors and are quite slow
to place the requisite amount of
credit due them, thereby 1 publicly
compliment their ability and knowl-
edge of the eye.

AS soon as the Dooley family
struck the woods, all squirrels
from the tall hickories, all fish in
the river, all neighbors chickens
and waving cornfields, of one ac-
cord came into camp on the first
day and gave themselves up, 1t
was no use to hold out against the
Dooley family. They reign SUI

sun kiss the hill tops, and the
hill-tops blush with kisses; ther
the bushes become contagious and
spread all over the camp.
Every visitor to the camp, ant

The Dooley Family are yer.
peaceful. They are death o.
kicks. If any should slip int
camp and is discovered, it is i'm
mediately captured, and hobble,
with kicking straps and made t
go into an open field and kick
we'll provided football all over tn
field. By this war on kicks, fey
venture into camp.
The motto of the Dooley Famil
is, "Let not your brother hunge
or thirst. There is always a pc
of Dooley soup on the furnace an
a bubbling spring of clear waite
near by. Another motto is, "Le
not your brother or sister or grand

sleep makes stupidity" One O
the rules adopted is, Don't star
anything, for in a hilly countr
things roll rapidly The onl
rule laid down by good old chap
erone, Grandma Dooley, is "Don
yell too loud, for it might be hear
between the hills next day, an
sound so sassy "

ginning with the formation of our

After this program, Mr.. West
gave a alecture on "Wireless Tele-
graphy," which was one of the
clearest and most interesting talks
of the institute. His plain ex-
planation of this complex subject
showed that his investigation had
been thorough.
Mr.. Martzolf then made an earn.
est appeal to the teachers for adj.
vancement.
After which Mr.. Simpkins and
Mr.. West made few closing re.
marks.
After the reading of the resolu-
tions by Mr.. j. F. Reed. the mat.

q. w. Frasure Who Lives Four and
Half Miles West of Logan, Ohio, Says:


/ have been troubled with bad
vision for IL or 10 years. My vision
got so bad I could not recognize any
one when passing them on the road.
Also my close vision became SO i'm
paired had to quit reading alto
gether. 1 heard quite a good deal
of Mr.. and Mrs. Lingerfield, especial
ly from Mrs. Frasure whom they
had also fitted with glasses. / then
consulted these opticians. They
made a thorough examination of my
eyes and described my symptoms
and exact condition of my eyes
without asking single question SO
perfectly that was convinced that
they understood their business.
then ordered glasses which / must
say have given entire satisfaction as
l can see everything at a distance as
clear as in my boyhood days. Also
my close vision has been restored,
which fact am quite proud to state,
and hoping that others may be bene-
fitted as have by these people who
surely are masters of their profess
ion.

THURSDAY MORNING.

The opening exercises on Thurs
day morning were by Rev. j. F.
Williams, after which the lectures
of the day were commenced by
Supt. West with talk on CALI
cation" Mr.. West presented this
difficult subject in Arithmetic in
clear and concise manner, and
by carefully prepared explama-
tions smoothed out the rough
places which have puzzled the
minds of so many teachers.
After the intermission, Mr..
Martzolf took up the subject
topography and Geology of Hook
ing County," He told of the
coal foundation of our county, OF
the rocks and other conditions OF
Nature, which have influenced the
industry as well as the history OF
our community. During his talk
he brought in the life of Lee
LesquereuX, a scientist of the Ole
World, and who afterwards came
to this country, dying in the city
of Columbus in 1889. Mr.. Mart
golf so graphically presented the
life of this man, and so earnestly
appealed to the teachers to leat
their pupils nearer to Nature
and accordingly nearer to God
that his audience was filled will
enthusiasm and pronounced thi
talk one of the best which hat
been given.
Mr.. West next gave practical
and instructive explanation of th
Metric System, illustrating hii
remarks with specimens of the diff
ferent weights and measure of this
system, and comparing them with
the American ones.
The "History of Ohio" followed
this talk, Mr.. Martzolf being the
lecturer. Many new and inter
esting facts were presented con
|
cerning the different nationalitle!
found in our state, influenced
greatly the old land grants, anc
about the naming of our towns
and counties. One interesting
feature of the lecture was hi
history of Zane's trail, the frs
road through Ohio. This wal
made in the early history of GU
country, beginning at Wheeling
w. Va. and ending at Maysville
Kentucky, it's whole course TEEN
ing with historical facts, unfami
liar to the majority of the people
After this lecture the institute
then adjourned till the Afternoon
session.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

The afternoon session was open
ed by Mr.. Simpkins with a lecture
on the "White Blood Corpuscles, "
his talk being presented in new
and interesting manner, illustrat-
ed with drawings on the board
His remarks, taking the form of a
story in which the white blood
corpuscles took the part of little
soldiers, impressed this subject of
Physiology on the minds of his
hearers more vividly than any
amount of study would have done.
After the intermission, Mr.,
Martzolf delivered his talk on
Mammoth Cave" great many
visitors being present to hear
him. To say that the lecture was
good would but poorly express the
verdict of those present. Mr.
Martzolf has wonderful power OF
description and his subject fur.
nished ample material for his
talk.
The institute then adjourned tc
the Assembly Hall, where after
the music hour, an address war
given by L. d. Bonebrake, state
school commissioner. His genera
theme was the growth and deve,
lopment of the Ohio school system,
of the gradual increase of legisla.
tion in its favor until at the pre-.
sent time 35 per cent of the taxa.
tion goes to the support of educa.
tion. Mr.. Bonebrake's talk was
full of interesting and helpful
hints not only to teachers, but to
all others who were poesent, and
was fitting close to day of un.
usual interest.
THURSDAY EVENING.
On Thursday evening, the second
lecture was given by Mr.. Mart

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
Victory for Democrats. MOrgan's Visit
to Roosevelt.

Washington, D. c.. March 20
So lar SIS the Cuban reciprocity treaty
is concerned, the democrats have won
: signal victory over the republicans,
1t was the intention of the democrats
TO talk the treaty to death unless they
could get all they contened for, and
when the republicans saw them line up
as n man under the able leadership
of the Hon. Arthur Pue German, they
c~apitulated and came down like Scotrs
Don 1t Is the first time in years that
the democrats IN the Senate have pre-
scented an unbroken front to the re-
%publicsns. When they have done so
in the past they invariably have won a
victory. The trouble has been that in
the recent past they have had no lead
ership in the senate worthy the name
They have is now, and the results are
apparent to the most casual observer.
The democrats said to the republicans
that they must add an amendment to
the Cuba reciprocity treaty that would
give the house of representatives, the right
to also pass upon it before 1t became
operative, because it was legislation
that affected the revenues of the gov
erment, and that all such legislation
must have the concurrent sanction Of
the house Of representatives,, or else it
would not be constitutional legislation.
It would be practically eliminating the
house as one Of the legislative branches
of the government and legislation by
the senate exclusively. 1t will be re-
membered that che house at the first
session Of the 57th congress passed a
law giving Cuba this reduction In the
rates Of the Dlngley law that is asked
for, but it also tackled on it a clause
that eliminated the d%ifferential on re-
fined sugar, which would save the
the consumers Of this country mil
lions OF dollars annually that now 60
into the pockets of the sugar trust.
For that very reason the senate refused
to consider the measure and let 1t die.
1t now comes to the front with the
treaty, giving the anne reduction in
the Dingley rates, but it does not re-
move the differential on refined sugar
which gives the consumer in this
country a chance, and clearly is an
attemp to play into the hands of the
sugar trust. The republicans have
forced TO agree TO the amendment to
allow the house to pass on the treaty
when it meets next winter. If they
had not agreed to it they would moi
have got away FIR ON here all summer,
or else would have been forced tc
abandon the treaty altogether. The
net result of this democratic victory
will be that the house next winter viii
either add the amendment again

Doing Job Lot Business.

Sheriff Oscar Thomas went to
Dover Saturday TO search the house
of James Roe, who robbed Gillen's
store several days ago. 1t was learn
ed that boxes had been shipped to hun
at Dover and upon investigation the
information proved to be correct.
Mr.. Thomas found a variety of stuff
which had been shipped to Roe, but
on account OF his absence from home
was sent to the home of Drew
Grinstaff, where it was kept until an
investigation could be made. 1t was
very evident from the condition of
the articles that they had been hid
out before shipped, as dirt and leaves
were on them. 1t was also learned
that the boxes we're shipped from
Lexington Junction. Following is a
partial list; 5 bolts flannelette, / bolt
cotton flannel, II bolts outing cloth,
bolt shirting, 4 remnants OF calico,
8 shirt waists, l skirt, l pair miners
white overalls, seven shoes, all odd, 9
blankets, l No. 10 Parker shot gun,
lot of tobacco, ! pipes, 2 boxes cigars,
l box cherOots, cough drops enough to
stock a store and l pair scissors.
Judging from the assortment these
goods were evidently taken from a
country store, and Sheriff Thomas
believes the owner will be found and
identify them. The goods we're
brought to Lexington Saturday after
noon. Roe will doubtless have con-
siderable trouble 10 proving that his
trip to Lexington last Monday was
his first trip as a "bold burglar" and
that his actions were due to an over
dose Of booze.
