Rife Team Wins Championship.
AIte" leading the league for weeks
the West Virginia Rifle Team won in
its final contests with the State Uni
versity OF Iowa, breaking all records
for Intercollegiate indoor rifle shoot
ing. This victory gives West Virginia
University the championship in the
Western intercollegiate League and
the team will now shoot with Harvard
University, the winners in the East
ern League, to determine the inter
collegiate indoor rife championship OF
the United States for 1913.
West Virginia scored $50 points out
of a possible 1000 in the contest with
Iowa. The previous record stood at
973. The Iowa team, last years cham
pions, scored 962.
The University now holds the
league record not only for high team
score but also for high individual

shoot with Purdue when Ballou made
q score of 1913 out of possible 200
The West Virginia team has i'm
proved steadily from the beginning
and under the guidance of Lieutenant
Archer there is every reason to hope
that they may succeed in bringing
back the scalp Of the eastern team
The scores of the matches in the
order of time in which they were shot
off are given below:

Eminent Summer School Teachers.
Heretofore it has been the custom
in the University Summer School 10
engage a number of eminent educators
to give a few lectures each, OF semi
popular nature, to supplement the
work of the regular departments OF
instruction. This summer it has been
thought better to have some of these
eminent and distinguished educators
from various parts of the country to
give actual class room instruction dai'
Iy for a period of at least six weeks
This class room work will be much
more practical and much more salts
factory in every way. DR.. E. A. Kirk.
patrick, of Massachusetts, a distin'
guished authority on child study; DR..
f. A. Millidge, of Virginia, perhaps
the leading expert in geography in the
country; Dean William c. Ruediger,
of George Washington University;
Professor Myron B. Cobb, Professor
of Agricultural Education in the Mich
igan State Normal School, and 9TH
ers, have been engaged to teach two
or three courses day for five days in
the week for either six or nine weeks.
These visiting instructors will, of
course, supplement the work of the
regular university teachers.

DIR. Hartman Writes:

Columbus. Ohio. July 15.-In reply
to many letters about my recent article
on catarrh and constipation l wish ia
make the following statement:
Constipation Is becoming more
prevalent every day. Nearly one-hal.
of the human family are troubled
with it moro or less. This fact pre-
sents a serious complication in the
treatment Of chronic disease.
Thirty years ago when / was pre-
scribing Peruna every day only a
small fraction OF the people needed
a laxative. But I have found by ex-
perience that more and more a laxa-
tive must be used
Peruna originally contained no lax
alive element. | used to prescribe
the laxative Manalin To be used in
case a laxative was needed This ne
cessitated the patient buying two bot
ties of medicine instead Of one.
AS constipation became more gem
eral finally concluded to add a
laxative element TO Peruna. The
new Peruna is made With q laxative
ingredient. The old Peruna (Ka tar.
MOI Is without a laxative. On that
account some prefer the old Peruna.
SOME prefer the new Peruna.
The new Peruna is for people who
have some catarrhal ailruent and yet
need Q laxative. Sold Mt al drug stores.
The old Peruna (Ka-tar-no) Is for
those people who have some catarrhal
ailment~but need no laxative.
Those wishing to procure the old Pc
runa should address The Ka-tar-no
Co., Columbus. Ohio. for further par
ticulars.

Obituary

By the death of Charles Fl. Taylor,
which occurred at his home in this city
on the 7th, Owosso lost one Of its best
citizens, a man who had won and re-
tanned the good Will of all those who
knew him. Quiet, rather retiring in
disposition, he was at the same time
one of the men counted upon to do his
full share in everything which stood
for the progress and uplift of the city.
Reliable as a builder and contractor, he
was always numbered among the busy
men and those who could secure his
services counted themselves fortunate.
Mr.. Taylor was born in Ann Arbor,
August 49, 1S4S, was married to Rather
inc Miller at Webberville, Ingham
county, Jan. %. 1876. In the spring of
1888, the family moved to this city to
reside and from that time on Mr.. Tay-
lor followed his trade as carpenter
and builder. Six years ago he formed
a partnership with Chas. n. Maliskey
of this city, and the firm has since had
number of large contracts for the
erection of public buildings, mostly
school houses, in different cities of the
state, this work taking him out of the
city good share of his time. Sunday,
March 3Oth, he was stricken with an
illness which little later on proved to
be pneumonia and week later he
passed away in the arms of his wife
and son as they were giving him loving
care But few knew of his sickness
and the news of his death came as q
shock to his friends and relatives. His
business associate feels his loss as he
would member Of his own family, the
tie of friendship between the men hav-
ing been very strong. The deceased is
survived by his wife, one son, Claud
NJ. Taylor of Brighton, two brothers,
William and Frank Taylor of Detroit.
His aged mother Mrs. Harriet Taylor,
had made her home with him for sever
al years and week after her sons
death she passed on to join him in the
great beyond. Funeral services were
from the home under Ma.
sonic auspices on the 10th, Rev. j. s.
Steininger officiating, and the burial
was in Oakhill. Mr.. Taylor was a !
of the First M. E. church and |

hose present from outside the city to
attend the funeral were Mrs. Esther !

Well, sold Joe" spent the greater
part of last Thursday and Friday at
Jasper, taking in the Marion County
teachers examination, and it was
right amusing to witness the scenes
There were small girls and large girls,
there were young girl and old girls,
there we're low girls and tall girls
and, in fact, the greater part of the
attendants were girls, only very few
men. Some were young men and some
were not so very young, so you see we
had quite a mixed up class of the
bright lights of Marion county, and
they all seemed to want to teach school
this fall. 1t was said that there were
about ITO IN attendance, and we can
use only about IS or 80, so you see
some of those aspirants will have to be
left out. We are very sorry, indeed,
that we will not be able to accommo-
date them all. The County Board of
Education will be called together in
few days for the purpose of electing or
assigning the teachers to the different
places in the county. The board
claims that it is their purpose and de-
sire to assign to the different places
the teachers they think will be the
most suitable for the different places.
Doubtless there will be mistakes made,
but they will use their best judge
ment to perform their sworn duties to
their best skill and ability.
Well, we think, as this is our first
attempt for about 2 years and as news
matter is very scarce in this little, civ
il, quiet neck of this great and glori-
Gus land of ours, we had better ring
off for this time. Yours for the bet

Dear Editors, it has been a long

thing to say through the News col

tirely ruled out by bis continued pro

Our Sunday school is still progress
ing very nicely with Bro. d, NJ,

us an ideal spueri he hardly
ever fails to be at his post and is al
ways ready to performs his duties.
With Prof. J. W. Miller az chorister
and Miss Nettie Moore as organist,
we are having some very nice singing
The Chapel choir went over to Sardis
few Sundays ago and sang with and
against the Sardis choir, and came
back bringing with them the honors of
excelling them in rendering the most
beautiful and scientific music, for
which they were very proud.
Well, "Old Joe" has had many ups
and downs since he appeared in the
News the last time. One of his ups
was, he went up to Chattanooga to
witness the scenes at the Confederate
reunion, which he certainly enjoyed.
He met several of his old time &C
ouaintances, who he certainly was
proud to see. He had the very unex-
pected pleasure of meeting his true
and tried friend of his boyhood days,
Amos L. Bracken, of Dallas, Texas.
We had not met before in quite num-
Der of years, and you may guess there
was hearty handshaking when they
met. Also met Jno. G. Lewis, of
Texas, whom we had not seen for
many years. besides other old friends
and acquaintance who we we're proud
to meet. But, alas, our joys we're
overshadowed by our sadness when
we had to part, probably never to
meet until we meet in that great and
last reunion for all time and eternity.
''Old joe was very much in hopes
that Jas. A. Lewis, of Fort Worth,
Teaxs, would be there, but was very
sorry to learn that Jim was sick and
not able to get there. We met quite
a lot of our old acquaintance now liv-
ing in Chattanooga whom we were
proud to see, and spent several pleas
ant moments with them.

STOP THAT 81 AUGHTER.

There is big difference in people.
Seine boys in this town are going
around shooting birds. alleging they
are shooting sparrows only. Saturday
evening they cowaldly shot a wren,
or fly catcher, while the bird was sit
ting on its nest, arousing the indig-
nation of several who saw the bird
lying on the ground after it was shot.
Another party in this town puts up
tin cans in trees for birds to build in
his trees, and Sunday we saw a bird
exactly like the one shot in size and
appe arance, catching flies only a few
steps from this mans house. There is
a big difference in people, and only
natural born towards shoot little birds
on their nests.
