COUNTY TEACHERS
HOLD INSTITUTE
And Many Papers of Gener-
al Interest Were Read
to Educators.

By way of suggestion Prof. Wool
ard Of the Hagerstown schools advo-
Gated at the high school section of the
county teachers institute yesterday
which met at the Richmond high
school. that some book, preferably one
relating story of adventure with a
historical significa nee, be read by the
teacher. He omitted reference to the
Bible, though the township trustees
organization of the county had previ-
ously endorsed its reading at the OPP
ening exercises of each day of school.
The idea expressed by Mr.. Woolard
met with some approval from the tea
cheers. although no formal recognition
of his suggestion was entered. The
matter will be left to the discretion
of each teacher in charge of class
room. Mr.. Woolard advanced several
reasons why the reading of standard
works on adventure should be read.
In the first place he believes such
books excite more interest and thus
result in the pupils doing some first
hand reading for their own benefit
and then again he said the books give
a better knowledge of diction and
grammatical purity.
Prof o. L. Voris discussed the sub
ject Sentiment of the Community to
the High School," He declared that to
ignore this sentiment and teach as one
pleased, even though one might fulfill
all of the requirements of the course
given, such procedure would be ri.
diculous and result in an early dismis.
sal of the teacher. He advocated that
the teacher recognize this community
sentiment and work in harmony with
it. Another interesting paper was that
of v. l. Brown on managing the halls
play grounds and school rooms.
In the other sectional meetings sew
eral subjects of particular interest tc
the teachers of the respective sections
and relating entirely to their work
were discussed. Each section elected
officers. The officers of the general
institute organization include G. O
Williams, the county superintendent
general chairman, and Miss Maude
Norris, general secretary. No resolu
tions were passed.

IDENTIFICATION IS HARD.

The waiting room OF the little sta

ceiling with the Belongings of the vic
Tins. Blood-stained clothing, battered
hats, suit cases, and heaps of purses.
jewelry and trinkets were piled high
awaiting Identification.
The work of identifying the bodies
taken from the wreck has proven very
hard for the reason that the injured
and dead were soon separated.
The clothing was almost entirely strip
ped away from many of the bodies and
every mark of Identification destroyed.
The disaster was one Of the most
peculiar In the history Of American
railroading as well as one of the great.

the broken rail safely. the seventh slid
to the ties, leading two others that fol-
lowed in the same path, and rumbled
over the trestle before it toppled on
it's side in the ditch. The eighth car
plunged to the rock bottom of the
stream and the ninth stood directly

TROUBLES
Being Given Airing in the
Courts Now.

COLUMBUS. Ind, Aug. 26.-Ste-
phen N. Davis, wealthy, retired far
mer of this city. finds himself in an
odd situation. A few years ago his
wife, Mrs. Emma Davis, sued him for
divorce and obtained decree. She al
SO got $4,000 alimony. Davis then mar
ried the sweetheart of his youth. and
he has now brought suit against her
in the Bartholomew circuit court and
asks a divorce. In his complaint he
alleges that he still owes $4,000 on the
$4,000 judgment entered against him
and that he is without money to pay
unless he can sell some of his proper
ty. He alleges that his present wife.
Mrs. Mary NJ. Davis, has steadfastly
refused to sign any. deeds SO he could
turn any of his property into money.
He also alleges that his second wife
declared she could get more alimony
from him than his first wife obtained
The present wife will not file cross
does not wish a divorce and does not
wish him to have one, and that she
will resist the suit
Says She Threatened Him.

nagged and tormented him, threaten
ed his life and assaulted him when be
was sick and unable to defend him
self. He says she threatened to have
her son by former marriage come
and beat the life out of him" and tina,
all he waited for was for her to ga.
the word.

Ten ENTRIES FOR
LABOR DAY RACES
And Many More Motorcy-
clists Will Enter Before
End Of the Week.

Up to date ten crack motorcyclists
have entered the Labor Day races
which will be held at the driving park
track east of the city. Other riders
will enter next week and 1t is expected
that that at least thirty speeders will
have entered before next Friday or
Saturday.
Those entered SO far are Paul Me-
Bride, riding four horse power ma
chine; Charles Tangeman, seven h. p.
machine; Ned Clark. four h. p. ma
chine; Walter Hartel. four h. p. ma
chine; William Waking, four h. p. ma
chine; George Dixon. four h. p. ma
cnihe: Warren Baker, five h. p. ma
chine; Elmer Smith. four and six h.
p. machine. Most of these motorcy-
clists have raced before and all of
them are practicing on the track.
They pronounce the track much faster
than it was on July 4. when the last
race was held by the Motorcycle club.
The uncertainty of the events, with
the possibility of accidents, entailing
death or injury, has its fascination for
thousands and big crowd is expect
ed to attend the races. Hundreds will
be there for the express purpose OF
seeing the daring riders flirt with
death. However, the riders are exper-
fencing but little trouble in keeping
their machines on the track. The most
dangerous curve is said to be imme'
diately east of the grand stand.
Preparations for guarding the
course have been made and the S. OF
v. Reserves will take their places al
the park early in the afternoon. AT
the bugle call the reserves will an
swer course closed" which means
that no one but an official of the meet
or those having special permits will
be allowed to cross the course. A
pass system will be used this year and
it will not be an easy matter to secure
authority to cross the course and in
consequence there will be little dan
ger in this matter.
Following is the list Of events which
has just been announced by the club:
five mile novice handicap; ten mile
handicap. open; ten mile handicap
four horse power machines; twent,
mile match race between William Wa
king and Elmer Smith: five mile bat
terry, race, 80 and SO class; one milk
race against time, open to all; fifteer
mile handicap, open; match race be
tween Misses Viola Cuip and Mablt
Masters of Elwood, and the twenty-five
mile grind, open to all, regardless o
the make of the machine or the powel
of the engine.
The last race is expected to tax tn,
engines of the machines to the ex
IRENE. 1t is believed that at leas
two-thirds OF the machines will be fore
ed to stop for oil and tires before thu
race is finished. Consequently pitt
| will be erected in front of the grand
stand, either on the infield or outfielt
| where all machines will stop for re
pairs, if necessary.
| The judges have not been named, a.
lyet, but the club will secure dealers II
other cities in the state to act in thi
capacity.
Parking places at desirable point
will be arranged for automobiles an
vehicles.
