MILLER MADE
FINE ADDRESS
tBy Mary C. Smith,


The fourth day of the teachers in
stftute opened this morning with the
same large and Interested throng of
teachers.
After singing "All Hail the Power
Of Jesus Name" and How Gentle
Gods Commands, devotional exercises
were led by Rev. G. D. Smith, of the
NJ. e. Church. after which DIR. Rey-
nods delivered an eloquent and
thoughtful address on the subject of
public Schools, Public School teach
ers. their work, duty, ETC." He spoke
OF the great necessity of more thor
ough spirit of cooperation and CO.
ordination existing among them as
one of the all important essentials to-
wards making real the ideal standard
upon which our school system is
founded. and insisted on more earn.
est effort being made towards procur'
ing greater advance in teachers
salaries. thereby rendering 1t possible
to secure better teachers which means
better citizens and thus better gov.
ernment.

ing of the teachers of the different
districts OF Marion county, assigning
to each district their respective rooms,
to which they adjourned, where they
were allowed 80 minutes in which to

dneed State Superintendent Miller,

talk on public schools and the means
necessary to their betterment, where-
in he particularly appealed to the

them their great responsibility and the
duty they owe their respective dis
tricts and country; the great effort
which they should put forth to procure
better wages and batter inducements
generally to good teachers. thus prov.
Ing that IL they fail to exert their
abilities and efforts in this respect
they have done a great injustice to
tha welfare OF our future country and
its government.

TOO MUCH.
AND NOW THE QUEEN OF FI-
NANCE rs REAPING REWARD
OF HER FoLLY-

PITTsBURG. Pa, Sept Sex
Judge Francis j. Wing, Of the United
states court at Cleveland, practically
admitted that he had threatened Cas-
sic Chadwick, the dethroned Queen
of Finance" with the adverse int1u-
ence Of James w. Friend, of Ptttsburg,
in case Mrs. Chadwick applied for
pardon and release from the Ohio PEN
ftentiary at Columbus, where she is
fncarcerated. Judge Wing was witt
ness in the case brought BY the widow
of w. C. lutte, to secure possession OF
her husbands estate which she alleg-
es was wrongfulIy taken from him.
Several hundred thousand dollars are
involved in the case.
Shortly after the suit was entered
notice was given that the deposition
of Mrs. Chadwick in the peuitentiary
would be taken because she was
known 10 have. had dealings with Mr..
Friend and it was said that she had
knowledge of the business transac-
tiops between Friend and lutte. This
deposition Is now In the hands Oh
Judge John D. shafer and a bitter
fight will be made when the time
comes to rule on it. The case has
been on trial for some months.
Judge Wing was formerly Mrs.
Chadwick's attorney.
According to the testimony, Mr..
Friend engaged Judge Wing to go to
Columbus and see Mrs. chadWiek in
the penltentiary and try to influence
her not to make disclosures of lis
dealings with her, and which were
thought to have no bearing on this
case. Attorney A. Leo We'll, for Mrs.
lutte. in the examination, had Judge
Wing practically admit that he lad
threatened that Mr.. Friend would op-
pose her if she ever wanted par
don in case she told too much.
