About the Merry Widows.

Some poetically inclined pup has perpetrated the following spasm on the Merry Widow hats:
 ''I would like to see the bud ding and the blooming of the trees, l would like to watch the birdlets as they float down the breeze; I would like to see the sunlight on the knolls and on the flats, but the girls obstruct my vision with their Merry Widow hats. When girl would cross a doorway, people view her with alarm, for she has to go in side- ways with her head beneath her arm; when two maidens take a ramble, one on either side, the street, they are widely separated, but their merry hats will meet. An! the sorrow of the husband who would kiss his only own 1! for he has to do his kissing by long distance telephone. In the church the merry women with their Merry Widow tiles, drive their melancholy husbands to the middle of the isles, in the home the weeping father seeks the cellars's quiet gloom, for up- stairs the Merry Widow headgear takes up all the room; there he's joined by all his neighbors who unite in crying "Rats!" when the conversation touches on those Merry Widow hats.'

PRONOUNCED SUCCESS
Teachers Hold a Pleasant and
 Profitable Institute Here

The second week of the teachers institute resumed Mon- day with largely decreased att tendance. The continued rains had made it almost imperative that many teachers should re- main at home to look after their crops. Considering the extra ordinary condition, County Ex- aminer Bunch was very leni ent with the teachers in this matter, excusing many from further at- tendance.
 Though the attendance was thus cut almost in half from what it was last week, there was no decrease in interest among those who remaine ed and the work this week has been fully up to the high standard erected last week. l Dr. Johnson of the chair of pedagogy of the University of Arkansas spent Monday after noon and Tuesday forenoon with the institute and gave several in- teresting talks. pr. Johnson is a very great success in his line of work and the institute was for tunate in having visit from him, even though it was of very short duration.
 Monday evening was given over to general reception and social at the school building and the occasion was made a very enjoyable time for all present. Tuesday evening the question of state uniformity of text books was discussed, resulting in an overwhelming victory in favor of uniformity.
 Taking it all in all, the 1908 in- stitute has b cen Bn unqualified success and has been thoroughly enjoyed by all participants. It is pronounced by some old teachers to have been one of the very best institutes ever held in the county.
 RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
 Resolved, That the teachers of Carroll county hereby emphat- ically endorse the efforts of our present County Examiner to elevate the standard of teachers in Carroll county, and that we pledge him our support in any future effort to that end.
 Resolved, That we as teachers appreciate the efforts of our Green Forest friends to make our stay pleasant while here.
 Resolved, That we, the teach CTS of Carroll county, heartily endorse county supervision of our schools and approve of county supervision as provided for by the county supervision act of the last general assembly.
 Resolved, That we as a body request our County Examiner that he refuse to endorse licenses issued by County Examiners of other counties, when it is known that such County Exami- ners will not endorse licenses issued in Carroll county.
 Resolved, That we as teachers use our utmost influence to secure the enforcement of the law as it now stands providing for a uniform series of.text books in each district, and that we pledge our utmost efforts not only for district uniformity and county uniformity but will do all in our power to secure state uniformity.
 Following list comprises the names of teachers who attended the institute:

HULL-PRoUTY CONTEST A TIE
Congressman EnjOins Further Re.
count in Dallas County.

count IN Dallas County
DES MONIES. June 16-The Hull Prouty
congressional contest in the Seventh Iowa
district stills hangs in the balance, with
the prospects that the ultimate decision
will have to be made in the courts. AS a
result of the recount by the Board of
County Supervisors of the ballots cast in
the recent primary election the vote stands
at a tie for the two candidates. The re-
turns from all the uncontested precincts
of Polk county have been canvassed, with
no show of change.
A sensation was sprung today when the
supervisors of Dallas county were re-
strained from proceeding with the count of
the ballots in that county. This action
throws the battle into the courts. The in
junction was issued at the instance of
J. w. Russell, a Hull man, who alleges
that the supervisors lacked Jurisdiction,
and further charged that previous handling
of the ballots left doubt in his mind
whether all the ballots remained intact.
