What undoubtedly was the most in
teresting, the most valuable and there
fore the most successful institute the
Wayne County teachers Association
has ever held, came to its conclusion
at the Chautauqua grounds yesterday
afternoon. The presence of two
such able educators as Prof S. d.
Fess and Prof. Charles L.. Zueblin,
lectual feast that this years institute
proved 40 be. Not only did the
teachers find the program one of I'M
usual merit, but other ChautauquanS,
a majority of whom are probably pa
irons of the schools in city or county
out side of the city, were given an in
sight into educational matters that
pertain to the schools of today which
had most wholesome effect
Teachers Well Satisfied.
Supt. Charles Jordan was delighted
with the institute and he also was
greatly pleased at the warm words
of commentator which came to him
from the teachers themselves. There
was a wide difference between the
work of Prof. Fess and Prof. Zueblin.
The formers excellent, practical and
on the whole. eloquent analysis of his
tory was much like turning a search
light upon an old and familiar build
ing. the details of which had never
been thoroughly understood until the
light came. Prof. Fess gave new
meaning to much of the history that
the teachers were already familiar
with, and he certainly performed a
most valuable service in his concise
and thoroughly intelligent suggestions
as to the proper methods of teaching
history.
Prof. Zueblin led one into the realms
of thought, whether they cared to
agree with him or not in all that he
had to say. His almost marvellous in
sight into every phase of society, his
ability to uncover the flaws that most
people have been wholly unconscious
of, and his great sincerity and earn
estness give him a place on the insti-
tute platform that probably cannot be
filled by another educator in the coun-
try. Prof. Zueblin's utterances We're
in some cases sensational. it has been
declared. but on the whole they were
calculated to awaken people.
Prof. Zueblin on Justice"
Yesterday afternoon in his closing
lecture, Prof. Zueblin's subject was
Justice and he made at attack upon
some of the political methods that the
masses, he said. were led to believe
were in the cause of Justice. The
'.stand pat policy in anything, Prof.
Zueblin said. was the declaration of an
immoral leader every time, for it
showed "a disposition to not permit an
Issue to be uncovered for inveStiga-
ton The pension system was also
taken up and pretty thoroughly shaken
TO pieces, Prof. Zueblin declaring that
If the searchlight of - honesty were
thrown upon the pension system it
would reveal a huge seandal-one
which would show that there are thou
sands of men not entitled to a penny
from the government who are drawing
pensions. The speaker was careful

1t is an assured fact that within the
next week or so steps will be taken by
the management of the Richmond
Chautauqua to begin a movement that
will result in the provision of perma-
nent Chautauqna building at Glen
Miller, not only to house the Chautau-
qua, but To be used for public gather
ingfis OF other kinds Every member
of the board of directors of the local
Chautauqua, and every person who has
interested himself to the extent of in
have provided, recognizes the absolute
need of a pavilion that will offer both
comfort and protection to audiences
during times of storm.
Supt. Jordan Favors 1t.
Supt. Jordan who has been active in
the Chantauqua work by reason of his
oversight of that part of the program
devoted to the Wayne County Teach
ers' Association, said yesterday that
there was no question that the assem-
blies could be much greater success
than now, If ii were assured the audi
ences that no matter what the condi-
ton of the weather, they would be en-
abled TO listen to the programs with
out suffering great Inconvenience
Richard Sedgwick, president of the
Chautauqua, is also "A strong advocate
of permanent building. The Asso-
citation is turning approximately ST.
600 each year into the city's treasury
for the use of the park. That sum
represents all profits for there is not
a member of the association, who is
paid a salary, nor does the organiza
tion itself retain any of the profits
The city, il is asserted, could we'll af
ford to build a pavilion at cost of
from $4,000 to $4,000 for the returns
each year would net handsome divi-
dend on the investment
Opinion of Col. Shaw.
Col. Shaw. whose knowledge of sucn
things is very extensive, is of the
opinion that an attractive and alto
gether suitable pavilion could be
built for 10000 The structure
would be of steel, primarily, and there
fore fire proof The directors, it is
understood, will take up the matter
later on and will likely make formal
request of the city to build pavilion
for next seasons assembly.

A Fine Band Concert.

The band concert last Friday even
ing for the benefit of the new hospital
was fine musical and literary treat
from start to finish and demonstra-
ted that this city contains talent of
very high order. Every number
on the program was thoroughly en-
joyed and especially the selections by
the band. Under the Efficient leader
ship of Mr.. George 6. Johnson this
organization has attained a high de-
egree of proficiency and is credit to
the city. Classical pieces were play
ed with skill, feeling and precision
that even a Sousa would have found
it diffiuclt to surpass. The recita
tion from Bjornson's works by Mrs.
T. Bang was rendered with true feel
ing and insight and proved that she
possesses elocutionary powers of great
merit. A good vocal solo in German
by Miss Louise Grindeland captured
the audience and as encore she sang
''Spring Has Gomez by White, in a
most graceful manuer. She has
fine, we'll trained voice. T. Morck,
as usual, captivated his listeners by
his lnimitable French dialect stories,
and Il. NJ. Sathre, also added to his
fame as portrayer of Irish charact.
His s.Love in the Kitchen was fine.
The hass solo by II. l.. Wood, rend-
cred in his deep, clear, full voice,
was much appreciated and heartily
encored. The closing number was
Sousa's march ''Stars and Stripes

proceeds OF the entertainment a
mounted to more than $4,000 which
the band generously donated to the
hospital. Hurrah for the Warren

dwelling and Dedication.

The unveiling and dedication Of
the altar piece at the Swedish Luth-
eran church occurs tomorrow evening.
The entire interior of the church
has been painted and decorated in a
most appropriate and artistic manner.
In the center, up over the altar is an
emblematic representation of Faith,
Innocence and Victory. To the
right is a figure of St. Peter with
the keys of the heavenly portals; to
the left is figure of the Christ and
the motto: Come unto Me.
In the alcove behind the altar is
the main painting representing
Christ in Gethsemane. Mark 4:39
The life size figure of the Christ
occupies the center and foreground
of the painting. 1t is in kneeling
posture; hands clasped, leaning on a
large rock, features averted, I Pray
This Cup May Pass.) TO the left
may be discerned the dim outline of
the city of Jerusalem across the Val
ley. The three Apostles whom
Christ took with him can also be de-
scried, sleeping, in the darkness OF
the night. The conception and exc.
cution of the Christ figure is genu-
inc artistic success. The pose and
the expression are admirable. The
posture betrays weariness and humi.
lity, the brows are knit, the features
are drawn with pain, at the same
time it carries an indefinable senst
of strength and hopefulness. The
lights and shadows have been sc
successfully managed that the feat.
ures seem..to be illumed with radi.
ance from heaven. In the darkness
OF the night it seems enveloped in q
supernal glory revealing the divinity
of the subject. It is most inspiring
depletion of the text.
The artist Mr.. L. e. Fredriksen, Of
this city is to be congratulated or
his effort. 1t is an evidence that he
ranks high in his profession.

At Rest.

Mrs. Augusta NJ. Franson, beloved
wife of Ed Franson, died at her home
in this city on Tuesday, May 18th,
of complication of diseases. She
had been in poor health for some
time, yet she had been confined to
her bed less than a week.
Deceased was born in Sweden, Sept.
Is, 1861, hence she was at the time of
death A years, months and 20 days
old. Her maiden name was Augusta
NJ. Peterson. Twenty three years
ago she came with her parents to
this city from Michigan, where the
family resided a few years after their
arrival from the old country.
In 1884 she was married to Mr.. Ed
Franson in this city, which has ever
since been her home, and where she
by her gentleness of manner and
kindness of heart has made many
friends who sincerity mourn her
demise. The longer she lived the
more did those with whom she associ-
ated learn to know, appreciate and
respect her Christian character and
womanly virtues. She was member
of the Swedish Lutheran church in
this city, and from that church the
funeral services were held at two
o'clock this afternoon, conducted by
Rev. J. a. Mattson. She was also
a member of the Rebecca lodge.
Besides a sorrowing husband, she
leaves also daughter, Mrs. Aug.
Ostlund, of this city to mourn her
death, also her mother, Mrs. L. w.
Peterson, and sister Mrs. Emil
Holmgren, of Vega, and a brother,
Oscar E. Peterson, of Fertile, Mimi,
all of whom were present at the fun
eral. A large mnuber of friends from
Stephen, were also in attendance.
The floral tributes were profuse and
beautiful, one of the pieces being in
the shape of a harp presented by the
Ladies Aid society OF the Swedish
Lutheran church, of which she had
long been an active member.
The sorroWing husband and rela-
tives have the sympathy of this COM
munity in their bereavement.

Clarence G. Dinehart, who is now
by all odds the leading candidate fol
the republican nomination for state
treasurer, was born in Illinois, OF
German ancestry, in 1874 and came
to Slayton. Murray Co., with his par
ents In 1884, where he has since resi-
ded. He is a graduate of the Cen
tral High School at Minneapolis and
OF the University of Minnesota, and
took his degree in law at Harvard
University. He was elected Mayor
OF Slayton but resigned that office
TO attend Harvard. After complet-
ing his law course there he returned
to Slayton, and has since been associ.
ated as assistant cashier. and attorney
in the--State Bank at that place. His
business and legal training mt him
admirably for the position OF custo.
dian of the states funds.
Mr. Dinehart is also very much
interested in farming and is part
owner OF a.blooded stock farm neal
Slayton, giving attention especially
to horses and sheep.
NJ. Dinehart has the undivided
and|enthusiastic support of the people
OF the southwestern part of the state,
which has hirtherto been kind OF
slighted in the distribution of state
offices. But he has also friends and
admirers III every section of the
stata aud this, in additfon to the
thorough canvass lie has made, ought
to land him the nomination. He
belongs to the newer school of politi.
clans, and is in every respect a clean,
honest and able man, who will, il
elected state treasurer, discharge
the duties of that high office with
credit and honor to himself and the
state.
