Close of Normal Institute,

The normal institute. which had been
in session in Julesburg for two weeks,
closed last Friday afternoon with a
lecture to the teachers in the Congre-
gational church by DR.. Sanford Bell,
OF the University of Denver.
The institute was not SO largely at
tended as it might have been. but
great interest was manifested by those
who attended, and on the whole it was
very successful meeting.
The following resolutions were
adopted by the teachers in attend
ance:
Whereas, the teachers of Normal
Institute. District No. l, in institute
assembled at Julesburg, Sedgwick
county. feel that the session just clos
ed has been a profitable one:
And whereas, they feel that the
success has been due largely to the
earnestness and zeal of the instructors
and to the open hospitality of the peo-
pie OF Julesburg, therefore lie it re-
solved:
THAT we extend our sincere thanks
to the instructors for the interest man
itested in making this meeting full of
inspiration, pleasure and help: to the
people of Juiesburg for their kindness
both privately in throwing open their
homes to us, and publicly in the re-
ception given us: to the mayor for his
cordial welcome: especially to Miss
Bower for her thoughtful care in pro-
viding us with pleasant homes while
here: and also to Miss Veverka for
the personal help given us by her ele-
vating influence.
Furthermore, be it resolved: That
we are in hearty accord with the pres
ent plan of unifying and systematic
ing the work uf the Normal Institutes
throughout the state, and that we are
in earnest sympathy with the various
county superintendents in their ef-
forts to raise the standard of teaching
by their practical criticisms: also by
the introduction of professional liter
ature and rational methods. There
fore it shall be our pleasure to give
them our active cooperation in what
ever they may do to place our calling
upon a strong professional basis.
with all due appreciation of the
institute previously conducted, We be-
lieve that future sessions might be
made more helpful in various ways
and respectfully beg to offer the fol-
lowing suggestions: That the length
of the term be extended: that a lesser
number of counties be included in one
institute district, and that the teach
ers receive salaries per diem while in
attendance and that teachers who do
not attend shall be fined proportion
ately.
I'VE urge all teachers to cooperate
and use every effort in bringing about
the above desired conditions.
BE it therefore resSlved, that
copy of these resolutions be handed
to the local paper for publication and
a copy caused to be spread upon the
records of the Normal Institute, Dis
trict No. !.

A Successful Celebration.

4 large, go ID natured. well dressed
and happy crowd OF people witnessed
| the celebration OF Independence Day
in Julesburg Wednesday. The wealth.
er was perfect, the program was SUI
tciently varied to attract everybody
and nothing occurred Ia mar the sue
cess OF the occasion.
That part Of the program given in
the park was probably the most inter
esting feature OF the day. Mayor
Burke presided and. after the blessing
OF God had been invoked by Rev. X.
\. smith, pastor of the NJ. t.. church,
and some music by the band and by
local vocaiists. Hon. f. ID. Taggart. OF
Denver, delivered i; fine Grafton. Mr.
Taggart is Il leading member nf the
bar III his home city. and is 4 speaker
Of ability. Upon this occasion he held
the close attention Of his audience
for nearly an hour. and his effort was
highly appreciated.
The team race between the Jules
burg and Chappell gun clubs did not
take place, owing u the fact that some
OF the members OF the Chappell club
were not present. In its place an ex
hiDitinn shoot WAS given by the Jules
burg club.
A balloon ascension and parachute
leap was made in the morning at ten
o'clock by Ed Morse, of E!itch's gard
ems, Denver. and Il second ascension
and leap was made at three O'Clock in
the afternoon. There was no wind at
either time and both asccn>ions were
tirstcla>s.
The pail game, played by IA Sedg-
wick club and IL Julesburg club, re-
suited in victory for the Sedgwick
club by IA score OF tu G.
An exhibition OF rough riding was
giyan Tn the ball grounds by Joe
Parks, an old rangc-rider now living
near Sedgwick. Two horses we're rid
den. The first one, owned by W. +.
Coumbe, did not pitch much, but the
other, owned by }. ii. Parker, gave a
good exhibitions: so good in fact
that his rider was compelled to hold
tight to the saddle horn to keep from
being ditched.
THE lOO-yard foot race was won by
II. b. Laycock: second money by Roy
Durkee.
Noah Harrison won first money in
the boys foot race; Joe Labaree sec
ond.
Inc potato race was run on horse
back. Joe Frederick won lirst money
and Albert Miller second.
In the hobble race Fred Hewitt and
II. b. Layccck tied for first place and
the money was divided.
Genrge Pluiumer won first money in
the SICK race and II. Is. Luycock sec
Und.
Noah Harrison climbed the CREASED
pole with the assistance OF several
young friends. The creased pig was
captured by Frank Smith, horse
sh0er for August Fisher.
The days entertainment closed
with Il band concert in the evening at
the park, IL moving picture entertain
ment in the court house hall aud a
dance in the pavilion especially erect
ed for the occasion by ii. A. Mclean,
leader of the band. All were well
patronized by the public, and each
contributed its share towards making
the day an enjoyable one.
Nothing contributed more to the
enjoyment of the people generally
than the masterly manner in which
the crowds were handled by the vet
.ran marshal of the day. Col. A. J.
Walrath. He was in the saddle from
early morning until late evening, di
recting and leading the people To the
different scenes of amuse ment, and if
anyone missed seeing anything it was
not Col. Walrath'S fault.

"AduIterated" Dress.

The Lancet calls attention to the
wholesale manner in which the ma
terials which keep us warm during
the day and the blankets which COW
er us at night are adultersted. The
silk dress Of the lady of a hundred
years ago rustled as she moved on
account of the goodness of the silk;
now it rustles with the Sc per cent
of salts of tin used to sophisticate
it. The lady of the period in her
silk dress is indeed a sort of "wom-
an in armor." Epson salts, instead
of being used for medicinal purposes,
as formerly, are now employed, it
would appear, for loading flannel.
The snowy table linen which used to
delight the hearts of Mrs. Tulliver
and Aunt Gleig is no longer linen,
as of yore, but largely made of cot
ton filed with china clay, starch
and size.
