In the replevin suit brought in his

WAGE TOO SMALL

Husband Claims Earnings of $3.50
Per Day Are Not Sufficient to
Keep Two.

In Justice P. H. Wells court yes
terday afternoon Peter Dobblear, on
trial for wife abandonment, attempt
ed to prove to the court that 1t was
an impossibility to support wife
on the wages which he received.
Dobblear is a laborer, and stated
before the court that he received
$3.50 for each days work and that
that was insufficient to support both
himself and his wife. Therefore, he
placed his wife under the care of
the county and for some time she
has been an inmate of the infirmary
at Coal Valley and Dobblear has not
aided in her support.
Infrmary steward Complainant.
Charges of wife abandonment were
preferred against Dobblear by Frank
Wiley. steward of the infirmary. On
the evidence submitted. the justice
bound Dobblear over to the grand
jury under $500 bonds. He was I'M
able to furnish bond and accordingly
locked up at the county Jail.

The Countess of Pembroke had been

show that part of the fixtures seized
by the constable was in reality gam
bling tools. Attorney Hauberg cross
examined the two complaining wit
nesses, and then stated that he did not
carr to introduce any evidence. JUS
tice Nissen thereupon found for the
plaintiffs and assessed the costs in
each case against the defendants. The
costs amounted in all to $3.50.
Haubers May Appeal.
Mr.. Hauberg will likely appeal the
case to the circuit court where he
hopes to set UP a defense that will
show that he and the constable had the
fixtures in a lawful manner and that
they could not be recovered by re-
plevin, as they were gambling para
phernalia.
The Schaum boys have their tools
in storage in Davenport. So has H.
E. Mcbride. Just now the gambling
houses are quiet, and they will remain
so until after the election of next Tues
day. In the event that the gamblers
candidate wins at that time, of course
the boys expect that they will be al
lowed to resume again.

SHORT COURSE
IN AGRICULTURE
New Feature Of Farmers Institute
Work uccessfuI-Institute DEM
onstrates Teaching Practical.

! That the subject of agriculture can
| be Systematically and successfully
| taught in primary and secondary
| schools is being amply demonstrated
| by the Illinois Farmers Institute in its
| system of short courses in agriculture
at the state normal schools. One of
the courses planned has been held and
IpT.aounced very successful by the
| people of the district, as we'll as the
promoters and those in attendance.
100 Farmers, 400 Students.
At the Eastern Illinois State Normal
school, promptly at 9 o'clock on the
riculture to begin. the instructors from
the University of Illinois and from the
| Farmers Institute being present and
ready for work, the entire attendance
of the normal school, 400 or more stu
dents. were assembled and quickly or
ganized by President Lord into two
| principal groups, as announced in
| program previously arranged. the es-
sential requirements of which were
that no student could take more than
two subjects and that the six periods
would be worked off in sections, be-
ginning at $50 in the morning and
closing class room work at II, with a
general lecture from II to IL, and an
afternoon class at 1870, closing with a
| lecture at 2:15.
These sessions continued during
! four days. and closed with an exam
| ination on the fifth, covering all the
subjects taught, including soil fertility,
animal husbandry, corn judging, ele-
mentary agriculture, entomology, poul-
| try, and gardening
instructors from the College of Ag-
riculture, University of Illinois. took
the classes in elementary agriculture
and animal husbandry, while A. A..
Hill of Casner H., and II. A. Winter
of Wenona instructed the classes in
corn Judging and crop production.
Buel T. Davis of Decatur conducted
the work in poultry and gardening.
The work in animal husbandry was
a feature of special interest. A large
tent, in which TO judge the live stock,
was furnished by the business men of
Charleston and a car load of choice
animals were supplied by the College
of Agriculture, while 100 or more
farmers in attendance supplied other
live stock to be studied and judged
The classes in elementary agriculture
were in charge of Professor F. l..
Charles and J. P. Gilbert. This feat
ure was illustrated by special lantern
work and was of peculiar value and in
terest. The subject of soils was ably
handled by DR.. J. II. Petit, and Pro
fessor J. W. Lloyd gave practical dem
onstrations in horticulture, covering
the planting and care of trees.
The work in entomology was in
charge of DR.. S. A. Forbes, and his

plan each day included a distinct in
sect especially important to the farm
ers of the state. Special specimens
were prepared for the occasion which
made the work intensely interesting
and highly instructive.
The Lectures.
The lecture periods were taken as
planned. Miss Anna L. Barbre gave
experiences and phases Of agriculture
and domestic science work In the com
mon schools. Professor William Bag
ley gave an evening lecture and was
greeted with a large audience. He
showed how agriculture can be taught
broadly-how 1t can be made to have
wide influence in it's educational
bearing. Professor H. G. Russell
Professor Transeau, Hon. F. G. Blair
Professor H. w. Mumford, Miss Der
tina Miller, Dr. ]. NJ. Wright and Buel
T. Davis handled their subjects in a
mastery manner and greatly enthused
and instructed the students, teachers
farmers and visitors in attendance.
The farmers of the community took
special interest in the corn work, and
every day the halls were more or less
crowded with visitors witnessing the
work. More than 100 practical farm
ers were present at the sessions and
all of the classes were favored with
number of visitors not regularly en-
rolled. Nearly $50 short course stu
dents took the examinations in each
of the classes.
Everybody Pleased.
Everybody seemed to be abundantly
pleased with the work accomplished
and voted the first session OF the east
ern Illinois normal school short course
in agriculture a decided success.
DR.. c. L. Lord. president of the East
ern Illinois normal school, was inter
viewed at the close Of the course and
gave out the following:
The short course in agriculture
given in the Eastern Illinois state nor
NAL school this week has been sue
cessful beyond the expectations Of
those most friendly to 1t. The amount
and kind OF knowledge acquired by the
students. or the widening OF their In
terests. or the inspiration they receiv
ed in this important field-any one oil
those things alone would have made
the work worth while. The abundant
knowledge OF the subject possessed
by the instructors as well as the man
ner of presentation were admirable ex
amples to be put before those prepar'
ing to teach. The work was vel

John Wesley as a Physician and Some
of His Remedies.
1t is not generally known that John
Wesley in one Of his brief intervals OF
leisure published a sort Of medical
wade mecum called not appropriately
Primitive Physic." 1t was first pub
Iished in 1747, and it ran into at least
twenty-four editions. The author was
greatly surprised there was so swift
and large a demand for II. In the
later editions he was able to add the
word Tried to certain remedies the
virtues of which he had meanwhile
found opportunities of testing. After
five years careful trial and notwith-
standing the objections of the learned
he recommends for the ague "to 60
into the cold bath just before the cold
fit" but omits to say how to time the
coming of the fit. To prevent apoplexy
use the cold bath and drink only wa
ter. If this proves useless and fit
should declare itself you have only to
put a handful of salt with pint OF
cold water and If possible pour it

gives four ways of curing old age

or "a decoction of nettles" or "be cleo

great panaceas in the Wesleyan doc
trine are the use of cold water and the
use of electricity. and at the end of
the book are columns of every sort of
