The Institute.

A lack OF space rather than incli-
nation compels this brief notice of
the teachers institute held in Louisa
last week. II WAS very successful
meeting in an respects II was one
mseting in all respects. 1t was our
or three Of the sesions. and We
were forcibly struck with the strong.
practical talks OF Prof Willis. the
instructor. and with the very marked
interest and attention manifested by
the teachers. The teachrs, if any
there be.who failed for any reason 10
attend the Institute irsr -Siosed> IQiss-
I'd rare opportunity for great ny
proyement 1t was refreshing to hear
Prof Willis talk. No showing off. no
straining after effect. no labored ef-
forts TO do something without know
ing exactly how il should be done.
As remarked, the interes, shown by
the teachers was great, and this was
best shown by their very general
participation in the discussion of the
various subjects considered. and in
many other ways The entire session
Of five days was consumed profitably
none Of It wasted.
The NEWS is justified in saying
that much Of the success which at
tended the Institute is due to the
Intelligent and uniring efforts OF
Mrs. Lackey the present efficient
County Superintendent. The teachers
appreciate her work along this line.
as shown by their unanimous resolu-
ton reported in the proceedings. II
was owing to her effort that the
various evening entertainments were
given. thus providing entirely with
Jut cost to them. rational and prof.
table occupation Of time which other
wise might have dragged. Not only
in this regard has Mrs. Lackey dona
well. but in her official acts since
her assumption of the duties OF her
office seems 10 have done the right
thing at the right time. Every citi-
zen Of this county who believes in
uplifting the cause OF education
should make a note of these things
and art accordingly.

Thomas J. Magu res Misfortune Does
Not Deprive Him Of Power
to Converse.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-With tongue
cut out to it's uttermost roots, Thomas
]. Mcguire, a veteran theatrical man
Of New York and formerly resident
of San Francisco, can talk and sing
almost as we'll rs any man.
This latest physiological wonder has
excited interest in the medical pro-
fession throughout the world. and to
prove the almost incredible fact that
man can talk, and talk well, without
a tongue. Mcguire next Wednesday
will appear before the National Con-
vention of Surgeons in Albany, where
he will make a speech and even sing
a song.
Mcguire was operated upon last
March for cancer of the tongue, due
to excessive smoking. Notwithstand-
ing his age, 10 years. he survived the
operation, and is to-day as hale and
hearty as ever.
While listening to his words it is al
most impossible to believe that he has
no tongue. In answer to a question
he opened his mouth and displayed the
cavernous gap that the tongue had
formerly occupied. Not a vestige of it
remained.
-Four weeks after the operation" he
said, Il was thinking how hard it
would be not to talk for the rest of
my life. and I said 'D-n it, right out
like that. Then / knew l could talk.
Next morning they brought me eggs
for breakfast. had nothing but liquids
and eggs for four weeks. ] was sick
of them, and 1 said: 'D-n those eggs!
Don't bring me any more The doctor

Oyanas dNNchna
is and
Begins a General
Movememt against Both
Japanese FlanRs.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. %
Whether or not the report be true that
General Kuropatkin has broken
through the lines of Field Mar
shall Oyama, the press learns
from a high military source that
General Kuropatkin has under
taken a general offensive movement
on both TANKS, with the object of
communication and forcing the Jap
anese from their winter quarters. The
informant of the press said:
After General MiStchenko'S raid
General Kuropatkin decided that
Oyamas position could be turned
westward from the plains. The adj
vance has absolutely no connection
with the events in European Russia.
If, as has been reported, the Russians
japanese left, they doubtless will be
able to reach point west of Lao
yang, in which case the Japanese will
be outflanked. A similar movement
southwark from Bentsiaputze will
strike the japanese line Of commune
cations toward the Yalu. Although
cold, the weather is ideal for winter
campaigning. The ground is hard and
the rivers frozen solid, making the
handling of artillery easy"
General Kuropatkin has few less
than 100000 men and more than HOO
guns. The troops engaged on the right,
in addition to General Mistchenko'S and
General Rennenkampff's cavalry, are
believed to be principally Siberian. and
part of the first European army.
A telegram from Chansiamutun
says the Russians lost forty-five Of,
ficers and 1000 men killed or wound
ed at the capture of the village of
Sandepas on January 26. The Rus
slams took 102 Japanese prisoners, be-
sides arms, wagons and ammunition.
The general staff has received the
following dispatch from General SAX
haroff, General Kuropatkin's chief of
staff:
Our troops continue on the often
sive at Sandepas. South of there our
cavalry encountered four Japanese
battalions and six squadrons of cav
alry advancing from Heikoutai. The
Japanese fled, throwing their arms
into ambulance wagons. One of our
columns took thirty prisoners and an
other captured twenty"
All dispatches from Russian cor
respondents at the front fOreshadow
BATTLE of decisive character. They
tell of arrangements for the receipt of
an immense number of wounded, not
only at Mukden, but as far back as
Harbin, and speak of u general en-
gagement in which almost a million
men and $500 guns were to be in
volved and say that the importance of
the engagement will overshadow the
battles of Shakhe River and Lao
yang.
Rumors are already flying about Of
defeat and victory. Success, all ad-
nit, will be of immeasurable value to
the Government at this juncture.
while disaster would only serve to
complicate the situation and render
the Governments position still more
difficult, if not critical.
