PRINTERS AS STUDENTS
Satisfactory Progress of Educational
Work of Typographical Union.

Officers of the local typographical
union have received interesting book
lets from the technical education com
mission of the international organiza-
ton. The pamphlet exploits the edu-
Cational work which that big labor
union promotes. The instruction is
given by correspondence and incul-
Gates the principles that underlie good
typography, which have been develop
ed after many years OF experimental
work by the Inland Printer. The
course is endowed by the Interna-
tional Typographical union to such
an extent that it is sold TO students
for less than the actual cost of tut
ton. In the booklet are specimens
of work done by students before they
took these lessons and specimens of
the work they are doing now. The
comparisons prove that a Compositor
can benefit greatly by instruction
through correspondence. There are
also comments by students-some OF
them in the 40s-that substantiate
what the book shows regarding the
improvement in their work. Several

FIND MOTHER AND
DAUGHTER insane
Henry County Sheriff Discovers
Peculiarly Pitiful Case
in Home.
AUTHORITIES ARE FOUGHT
Both Women Locked in House With
Stoves Fired to Drive Out
the Witches"

Geneseo, Aug. IA strange and
pitiful case of insanity was unearthed
last week in Geneseo when a mother
and daughter, Mrs. Margaret Miller,
aged 81 years, and Miss Jane Miller,
aged 90 years, were found insane and
committed TO the Watertown hospital.
The women are the widow and
daughter of a civil war veteran, Dan
ieI Miller, who made his home on a
secluded farm in Henry county in the
cos. He died soon after the war and
left, beside his wife and daughter, n
son, Freeman Miller. The three peo-
pie lived on a lonely farm for many
years, until a few weeks ago the son
died at the Geneseo hospital ofBright's
disease.
REFUSE TO CREDIT REPORT.
When the message of his death was
taken to the farm the women refused
TO give it credence, and declared that
if the man was dead he had been muir
dered by the men who brought the
message. Their peculiar actions at
tracted some attention, and it was dis
covered that Freeman Miller had not
A4NCd at LCAA4C 4fAeClSs OIt Al a AANtAS
shack he had built for himself, though
he went TO the house daily. After his
death, neighbors reported that the wo-
men were in need. An attempt was
made 10 help them, but the mother
drove the people who came to help her
OF the farm with a shotgun.
FINALLY OVBRPOWERED.
Judge l. E. Telleen Of Cambridge
went to the farm with officers. They
found the house closed up and brisk
FIRE burning in all the stoves. The
women were driving out the witches"
They were dressed in grotesque cos
TUNES, with hoods and bandages over
their heads The mother swoTe like
d pirate at sight of the officials and
tried 10 use the shotgun, but the men
disarmed her, though she fought des-
perately. Finally they were taken TO
Cam bridge and after being adjudged
insane sent to Watertown. The long
years of living alone on the solitary
farm is thought TO have destroyed
their sanity. It is said that neither
woman has left the farm in the last
80 years. and that for many years no
visitor had ever gone to the farm.

INCREASED BATH RATES

The announcement that slight in- crease in the price of the mineral hot water baths in this city is to be re- quired by the United States govern ment, which controls the hot waters. should be met with general commen- dation.
 There is no place R the world where an ordinary hot water bath wifi be served. appointment consid- cred, for the price mineral hot wa ter bath is served here.
 We are too cheap.
 The United States government is raising the rate-not us-because the United States government knows that the value Is given too smail sum
 It Is big boost to Hot Springs.
 A bath such as can be given in half dozen bath houses in this city, even aside from the use of the hot mineral waters. can not be duplicated In the world from point of appont. ment.
 We have the best there Is to be had.
 Tine raising of the price of the baths is all right, because the bath houses can be better equipped, the mat wa ters can be made more curative, the baths can be given under better con ditions. and the efficacy of the heal ing not waters made double.
 The pauper poor will be looked af- ter just the same as they have always been looked after, so the increase is no deprivation.
 If the hot waters will provide the cure that we say they will and that the United States government declar es they will, they are worth givalg in the most efficacous manner. The United States government would not let the price be made prohibitive, be- cause Uncle Sam is not given to com- mercialism in the matter of public health, but the price is to be raised slightly, the general standard of the baths will be raised, the conditions surrounding the baths will be better ed, and the public interests will be better served
 It is worth something for Uncle Sam to say the people of the world that the baths are worth more than We have been charging for them.
