Miss Ethel Innis played for the
chapel songs one morning this week.
Prof. Slceloff of Wellington, a
friend of Prof. Sterba, visited with
rs Tuesday. He made US a short
talk on agriculture but the ladies
don't think he looks like farmer.
Bring whole carload like him with
you next time Prof. so as to avoid
a dreadful rush.
We certainly appreciate the inter-
est being shown by so many people
in our institute. There have been
so many visitors this week that 1t
was difficult for the reporter to get
them all. Some of them were, Mrs.
Demarias and sister Miss Eva Shaw
of Artesian, two Misses Dahmer of
Jasper, Mr.. Woodruff from Sand
creek, and Mrs. Baker. Mrs. Bate
man, Mrs. Kinnison, and Misses
BodIe, Julia Peed, and Agnes Wor-
ley of this city.
Miss Emilia Reed favored US with
some very pretty vocal music We'd
nesday morning.
We had a dead visitor Wednesday
morning but it had mighty lively
man along to take care of it. That
was DR.. Decker and his human skel-
eton. The Doctor gave US an i'm
mensely interesting and instructive
lecture on physiological subjects re-
lated to school hygiene. He showed
US by the skeleton the importance of
insisting on correct position in the
schoolroom and he impressed very
firmly upon the minds of teachers
their duty and obligation, though
1t be not required in the contract, to
have care for the health and gen.
eral welfare of the pupils intrusted
to their care. 1t would be well for
every school board in the county to
have heard this lecture. Don't call
the sanitary teacher a crank, but aid
her. 1t is for the sake of your child
ren's health.

State Supt. Fairchild Visits.
Probably the most important
event of this week at the Normal
was the witt of State Supt. of Public
Instruction, Fairchild who has not
been here since three years ago. He
expressed his appreciation for the
growt-: of our Institute and the evil
dent efficiency of the work we are
doing. Mr.. Fairchild was most
interested in the agriculture class
and srys he is much pleased with
the enthusiasm being manifested in
this subject all over the State. He
thinks it is going to prove one of the
greatest steps ever made in the bet
terment of Kansas schools aud urges
all teachers to help make it sue
cess the first year by giving it spec
ial attention and enthusiasm and
especially by being careful not to
foster the prejudice already held
against it by making wild statements
which may be challenged. The
Superintendent also spoke we'll of
the new certificate law and the one
requiring seven months term and
gave good reasons for his advocat-
ing each. He says the next great
step in the advancement of Kansas
schools is to secure a greater unity
by having county and township
boards instead of the district boards
and thus also eliminate great many
petty troubles in the schools. AT
present the state of Kansas has
80, 900 official bosses over 900
teachers. Some of you may say
they need more bosses yet. Mr..
Fairchild. as usual, had lot of
mighty valuable advice founded
upon his wide experience from the
bottom round up, and good words
of encouragement for the struggling
teachers.

After Four Years Absence From
This County.

Mrs. Eva Keyser returned Sunday
from Texas, where she, with Mr..
keyser went four years ago In
search of a location. Mr.. Keyser is
on the way, accompanying stock
car that is bringing their goods.
They left here four yeais ago in
company with al Keyser, Mr.. Good
rich and others. The inducements Of
that country were held QUOT as being
very great and Mr.. and alrs. Keyser
went there largely upon the recon-
mendation of friends who themselves
were the first to return. They
stayed until they proved up 40 acres
of land, which took four years, and
that, with 40 acres they bought, is
all they have to show for their four
years of hard work. The others
who went with them have -ither re-
turned to Plymouth or gone further
west.
Mr.. and Mrs. Keyser have certain
ly made the best they could of the
opportunities. but they could not
make it pay.
Their many friends will be glad
to have them back again into their
old neighborhood.

ONE OF MOST HONORED Bust
NESS MEN OF COUNTY IS
CALLED TO HIS LONG
HOME.
FUNERAL ON SATURDAY
Came to Marshall County in 1868
and Has Been Engaged in Man
ufacturing Nearly Ever
Since.

Bremen, July 27-John J. Wright
died at his home here this morning
at 3 80 clock, after only a short
illness. He had been feeble for the
past three or Four years, but had not
been sick. Just last week he came to
Plymouth with his son Ed NJ. and
from here went to South Bend. On
Tuesday he was able to 90 to the
barber shop. The end, therefore,
came quite unexpectedly.
Mr.. Wright was nearly 81 years
old. and one of the oldest as well
as one of the most highly respected
and honOred citizens of the county.
He was born on Long Island Jan. 2S,
1928, and received his schooling in
New York City. In 1852 he went to
Chicago, where he invested in car
riage manufacturing After a few
years he went to New Paris. Ind,
and from there to Bremen in 1868. ,
Upon locating at Bremen he con-
structed wood bending factory,
which he continued to operate until
his death. The product of this fac
tory consisted Of materials for car
riages, wagons. sleighs etc, besides
many other things. such as special
boxes. AT times this factory en-
ployed as many as 20 men, and the
products became widely known for
their great excellence both of wood
and workmanship. The industry has
been one of the important ones of
Bremen.
Mr.. Wright was married at West
field, Mass. to Miss Sarah F. Loom
is IN 1854. To them 3 children were
born: William D., Edward M. and
Lucy f. Both sons are living in
Bremen, but the daughter is de-
ceased. Mrs. Wright survives her
husband. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Wright
were members of the Congregational
church. and enjoyed high social
station in life, Mr.. Wright was
self made man in the truest sense.
He pushed mis- way to the front by
his fine qualities of energy, and keen
business ability. That prosperity
and honor which is the desire of all
men came to him in its fullness.
The funeral will be held at the
house on Saturday at 200 O'Clock
in the afternoon.

Many Friends of Family Will Rgret
to See Them Go-Wiu Dispose
Of Property on Sophia
Street.

Charles Morcombe, agent at the
Lake Erie, will leave tonight or to-
morrow for Lafayette to take charge
of the combined freight offices of
the Lake Erie and Wabash railways

of about sixteen men and handle
business of perhaps 100000 a
month.
Mr.. Morcombe was In LAFAYETTE
Sunday to look over the offices and
the situation generally to determine
whether he would accept the offer of
the company. He has been in Ply
mouth for eight years and had just
concluded that he would STAY here
for at least another eight and per-
haps all his life, so bought the Stein
property on Sophia street a few
months ago. Then came the good
offer of the company, a more import
ant job with much better pay, and
he decided to accept it.
The family will not 90 to Lafay-
cite until about school time, and
Mr.. Moreombe hopes to dispose of
his property before that time.
W. E. Dimmitt, at present the as
sistant in the Office, will for the
present at any rate. take Mr.. Nor
combe's place here. Mr.. Dimnitt
has been in the service here for
many years and is fully competent
to held the job.
Mr.. Morcombe has always con-
Quoted the Office in a courteous way
very agreeable to the public. Aside
from this the faithfulness and effic-
iency with which he has done his
work has been a credit to the COM
parN, and they certainly made no
mistake in their man when they
chose him for larger and more I'M
portant tasks.
