NORMAL CLOSED
SESSION OF WEEK
WAPELLo COUNTY INSTITUTE
FOR TEACHERS COMPLETES
LARoRs SATURDAY.

I'VE feel that the institute just
closed was successful in every way in
| as much as the corps of instructors
was of a very high character
| and the instructions of varied
and very beneficial kind, also
judging from the EXPLANATIONS
| from numerous teachers attending who
said they were sorry that the normal
was over" said the county super
intendent, Mrs. Elizabeth Burgess,
when seen at the close of the Wapello
county normal which closed for the
year at the high school Saturday.
The last session of the institute was
the usual exercises as scheduled by
the program with the exception of
chapel This portion of the closing
session was somewhat prolonged and
special music featured it.. A violin
duet by Misses Theodosia Harrison
and Mabel Burgess, who were accom-
panied by Mrs. Theodosia Harrison
was the chief musical number Chapel
talks by both 0. H. Cessna and A. F.
Benson were given and were listened
to with rapt attention. Chapel was
continued until II o'clock when the
institute closed for the year amid the
regrets of most Of those attending.
Josephine Taylor, who lectured Satur-
| day afternoon, made lasting impress
| sion on her hearers by the able man
ner in which she related her travels
| through Naples by the southern route,
as well as the scenes related of the
| Azores Islands.
| Mrs. Burgess stated that she was i'm
mensely pleased with the institute and
with the excellent corps of instructors,

first world meeting of aviators was
marked Sunday by Curtiss the Amer

former was for speed, in which he
took first place; the latter in the lap
race, where he came in second to
| Bleriot.
Curtiss Saturday won the interna-
| tional cup for speed. Being the only
| flyer from America entered at the
| meeting. it is considered, in view of
his achievements, that the United
States got the lions share of the hon
ors of the week.
Aside from two accidents, the events
ending was everything that could be
desired. Bleriot in the morning, was
soaring in his most powerful machine,
when suddenly the motor stopped and
the propeller ceased revolving. The
machine fell and smashed the over
heated engine, which set fire to the
escaping petrol. Soon everything
\ that could be burned was reduced to
ashes.

A "Slap" at Medicine Lodge.

A subscriber at Hazelton sends the

Kansas City Times, and says: 'It looks
like hot one on the old town, the
home of public men,"
In confirmation of the report that ex- Sena-
tor Long will retire from public life. his form
er secretary. Mr.. Ralph Faxon. declares that
Mr.. Long expects to live in Medicine Lodge.
If you have ever been at Medicine" as they
call it in Kansas you will understand that
MIR. Long is getting about as far away from
public life as it is possible to be and remain
in the land of sunfiowers.
Evidently, the Times writer is jeal-
Gus of the fame of our town or else he
has not heard of Jerry Simpson and
rrieNation, who, with Senator Long,
did pretty well in the way of letting
the rest of the world know that Medi-

Lodge has turned out more great men
and women than Kansas City. So
there!
