Strong. grim nerved and defiant

ow Of a man. Yesterday he had plead
ed guilty at the bar and the Judge had
sentenced him to a life in prison.
There was no witness against aim
But alone in his cell he had met an
accuser that be could not defy, and
the accuser was a spirit in a dream.
The first message" from the ghost
ly personality. OF the slain Regina
Read came to the Jail through d girl
who had been q chum OF Muller's
victim, She wrote letter to the
warden and said she wanted 1T read to
the prisoner.
The letter said that the spirit Of
Regina Read had come 70 her in
vision and had told her in narrowing
detail the story OF the tragedy.
But because prayed as II knelt
before him, before he Aired at me the
second time-because prayed. my
soul was saved" the spirit said; ac-
cording to the young medium.

POPULAR LECTURES
At SUMNER SCHOOL
PEpAGoGuEs ATTENDING
SCHOOL AT NORMAL HEAR
DISCUSSIONS ON LIVE SUB
JEcTs-ADplTioNAL TEACHERS
HAVE BEEN ENGAGED.

A feature of the summer school at
the state normal which IL popular
with nearly 400 students now in at
tendance, is the short afternoon lec-
ture course on live subjects which are
likely TO be pre- eminently useful to
teachers In the common and graded
schools OF the state who comprise the
major part of the student body. The
lectures begin at $3.50 and last about
forty minutes.
The lectures run along the line Of
methods of common school branches.
Professor Reed has given a course
Of five on language; Professor Quing-
ley is finishing course on history;
Miss Keppie will begin course next
Thursday on reading, and they will be
followed by a course on literature, by
Miss Newman.
The number OF teachers and candi-
dates is so large this year that addi-
tional teachers have had to be en-
gagged to assist In the common
branches. At present twenty teach
ers are engaged giving instruction
four or five periods a day. 1t is get
ting to be that the summer term of
the normal schools of the state is the
most important term of the year and as
now conducted the term costs the
state about half as much as the fall,
winter and spring terms-fuel and
janitor service, two big items of cost,
are not required in the summer
