THE APPROACHING INSTITUTE,

THE APPROACHING INSTITUTE.
Mr.. Editor: In compliance with
the request of one Of the most accom-.
plished teachers of this county, beg
room to say good word for the Edu.
cational Institute which will be in
session here in Brandon throughout
the coming month Of August. read
with interest Miss Meddie Robinson e
recent letter in The News urging the
teachers to attend, and now l am ask
ed to plead for large attendance of
the patrons of the schools and especi.
ally of the citizens Of Brandon. For
myself, am convinced that if all the
teachers who can come are on hand
at the appointed time, the people
of this good town will see to it that
the proceedings shall not lack any
element Of interest that can be con.
tributed by an Intelligent and atten-
tive audience. It should 60 without
saying nothing in the way of social
courtesy to make the stay of oar
visitors pleasant to them will be
forgotten. Our hearts and our homo .
should be always open to those to
whom we entrust SO large and so
important part of the education
of our children, and we should hail
with satisfaction every indication
that the teachers hereabouts, take a
serious view of the obligations of
their profession. But the teacher
needs the parents help as much as
the parent needs the teachers, and
each should accord to the other all
possible aid and countenance. There.
fore it is that bespeak for the ap.
preaching Institute not only a cour.
teous recognition Of it's presence, but
also some proof of our consciousness
of the fact that all of US have q
practical interest in it's proceedings.

JEWELS HELD OVER.

ellis was unable to give bond and was
taken to Hardinsburg Friday by Mar
shall DeHsven and placed in the coun-
ty Jail to await the action of the
May term of circuit conrt.
The trial was one of the most inter-
esting that has come before Judge
Wills and attracted large crowd of
spectators. Fourteen witnesses were
examined and the trial consumed
nearly three hours. H. e. Murray, at
torney for the defense, pleaded not gull
ty to the charge of shooting with in
tent to kill and took the stand that
Jewels shot in self-defense. The testi-
mony of all the witnesses seemed to
bear out this point, as they all stated
that Wells had out his knife and was
advancing on Jewels who was retreat
ing, Gus Brown, the county attorney,
based his only strong argument on
testimony given by Lucy Jewels, me-
Their of the defendant. She said she
was between Wells and Jewels when
the shot was fired and was trying &c
keep them apart. Mr.. Brown asked the
court if 1t could be purely self-protec
tion when a man would shoot another
man with his own mother between
them and at the distance stated (about
seven feet).

Cincinnati, o., March 24.-Five
motherless children will today be tran
sported from the branch hospital in

On February T. with her infant Lii

Mis-. Ella Oller was removed to the
City hospital from their home at 1414
Walnut street.
After careful examination it was
declared they were suffering from a
highly contagious disease and their
isolation in the branch hospital annex
was ordered. On the following day
t he remaining members of the family,
James, Jennie. Annie and Clarence,
the oldest of whom was 10 and the
youngest years, were sent to join
! them at the annex. Then came a coun-
ter order, and it was declared that
some of the family were only suffering
with chicken-pox and they were re-
turned to the main institution. How
ever, there it was declared that, hav =
ing been exposed to the contagion, they
would be compelled to go back to iso-
lation, and they went.
About two weeks afterward the
mother and the infant, Lillian, died
within "a hours of each other. Strange

cases gave the cause of death as scar
