SUBJECTS TO BE STUDIED.
The Institute Manual for 1903 con-
tains outlines of work in Arithmetic,
Reading, Spelling, Grammar, Geog-
raphy, q. S. History, Agriculture and
Use Of Library Books. The School
Program also receives attention. Two
subjects, Arithmetic and reading. are
insisted upon in every case. Each of
these subjects must be carried by the
entire membership of the Institute for
the entire time. Other subjects are
optional, conditioned that each mem-
Der of the Institute take not less than
three studies nor more than four.
1t is not our purpose to overwork
any member of the Institute, nor to
encourage any member to undertake
too much. A thorough knowledge of a
few or the most important branches is
better than a superficial one of all.
Supt. Cary says: lone thing that we
need in our schools to day, is some of
the old time thoroughness in some Of
the old time branches -
TEXT BOOKS:
Each member of the Institute should
be provided with a Grammer School
Geography, Complete Arithmetic,
and a modern reader, Also a copy of
James Agriculture, and if possible,

tion and General Literature.
We will endeavor to have supply
of text books on hand at the Institute,
except the readers and the arithmetics,
which will be sold at Introductory
prices.
EXPENSES.
The Institute, with all the advan-
tages it affords, is entirely free to all
who enroll as members, there being no

Save the Children.

Ninety-nine of every enc hundred diseases that children have are due to disorders of the stomach, and these disorders are all caused by indiges- tion. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is just as good for children as it is for adults. Children thrive on it. It keeps their little stomachs sweet and encourages their growth and development. Mrs. Henry Carter, 75 Central St., Nash vile, Tenn, says: My little boy is now three years old and has been suf- fering from indigestion ever since he was born. I have had the best doctors in Nashville, but failed to do him any good. After using one bottle of Kodol he is we'll baby. recommend it to all sufferers. Kodol digests what you eat and makes the stomach sweet. Sold by D. J. Brannen.

The ,sorsenssn's Dream.

At last mile has been trotted in two minutes. By great burst of speed on the last quarter the mare Lou Dillon not only broke the worlds record Monday but accomplished it by the astonishing margin of two and 8 quarter seconds, the previous best record, that of Cresceus, being mile in 2:02t, trotted at Columbus, Ohio, two years ago. Before 1859, when Flora Temple surprised horse experts by trotting mile in 2:l9t, the swiftest trotters were not expected to get over the track in less than 2:30. The best time of Maud s. was 2:08t in 1885. Cresceus made his record in 1901, and no one expected to see it reduced to the hoped-for 200 at stroke. Of course, there is a limit, but no one can guess how far below the 200 mark it will eventually rest.

News has been received of the death
John Burke, former resident of this
city Death was due to asphyxiation
by illuminating gas. Mr.. Burke went
to Kearney about two months ago and
has since lived with his aunt, Mrs.
Mary Koran. He had been suffering
from consumption for some time and
was subject to night sweats and be-
cause of this a small gas stove was
put in his room. Mrs. Koran said
that he was unaccustomed to the use
of gaJ and had had a dread of the stove.
Suicide was suggested but Mrs. Koran
denies this, attributing the cause of
his death to an accident Early in the
morning Mrs. Koran discovered the
smell of gas issuing from Mr.. Burke's
room and as the door was locked she
called a policeman, who entered the
room from the outside. He found the
gas fully turned on. Mr.. Burke was
in bed and a physician who was called
said that he had been dead but a
short time.
The funeral was held on Monday and
the burial was at Kearney. Mr. Burke
was stone cutter by trade and had
lived in this city for many years work =
ing for various firms, his last work be-
ing for Ryle q Mccormick. His wife
died in this city little more than
two years ago and was buried at White
River junction. He was a brother
in-law of Mrs. Addy of this city and
it is thought that the body will finally
be brought to White River Junction
