delegation as secretary. All of the
visitors were loud in their praise OF
the beauties of the Shut In and were
much surprised to find such a large
and magnificent body of water as
Rainbow Dam among the hills there.
On the report OF the committee to the
Legislature may depend the fate of
the proposal for the establishment of
a State Park. There are about 700
acres in the dam tract; then, if the RI
fe range tract. which the government
seems to have abandoned, of about
100 acres and adjoining, could be Sc
cured, the two would afford an ideal
site for a park such as is proposed,and
the cost would not be great. 1t is pro.
posed to Use the money secured from
hunting licenses to pay for the Park.
The visitors left on train % Tuesday
for Sabula, whence they we're driven
to Reynolds county, near Lesterville,
to look at Mr.. Fred T. Hunts place.
Mr.. Hunt met the delegation here and
accompanied them to his home. The
committee will get lack to the rail-
road to-day and return to st. Louis in
the evening. Then they will visit sew
eral proposed sites for the Park on
the Frisco, railroad.

A Trip on Pleasure Bent.

A N| - Ha-.
We, the members Of the family, had
been planning it for several weeks,
and had set three several days for its
execution, but interferences of various
import deferred the trip once and
again. Only one particular day in the
week was available for the purpose.
School demands five days from the
junior members, and Saturday is en-
crossed in non-deferrable household
duties. Then, too, absence from the
office on any of the six days is inadmis-
sible, as every country editor knows.
So there remains but Sunday
"Hobson's ehoicen-and Sunday last
at 10 A. M, under clear skies and a
genial sun we took our places in
Allgier's automobile and sped from
out Arcadia's Beautiful Vale, bound
for our neighboring city, Pennington,
some twenty miles away. The road
was in fine condition and in a little
over an hour we drew up in front of
the ST. Francois Hotel. After a short
consultation we concluded to proceed
to Flat River and started on the way;
but the sky was rapidly overcast with
dark clouds, the wind raised and rain
threatened, the air taking on a frosty
tinge-a combination that induced us
to take the back track to the hotel,

made up for our little mishap. After
dinner, as the weather was becoming
less and less pleasant, we concluded
to return home without delay. The
broken tire had been mended in the
meantime, and we bowled out Of the
city before the hour-hand pointed at

Teachers Meeting.

The meeting for West End was held
on Saturday at Redmondville, a pretty
little. suburb of Goodland. This is
probably Sup't. Burnham's last visit
to our community in connection with
our schools.
We hate to give him up, and his
record has been such that his success
sor will have to hustle if he is as
popular among the country teachers
as MI. Burnham has been.
The day was fine and the large
house was crowded with teachers,
pupils, patrons and friends.
The programme was a success.
Each teacher responded willingl yand
earnestly.
Many good ideas were given the
young teachers, and all present decid-
ed the morning had been we'll spent.
The teachers present were: Misses
Jordan, stricklin and Pippin; Messrs.
Dicey, Stuart, Keesling, Francis, and
Mr.. Sutterfeld from Lesterville, who
was a welcome visitor.
The Children's programme in the
afternoon was we'll rendered. The
little ones acquitted themselves with
honor. Miss Jordan, a visitor, gave a
comic recitation well. The lady is a
fine eloeutionist.
In the evening the young folks of
Goodland gave a play-"The Old
Maids Club" which was very much
enjoyed by a large audience.
After the play pies were sold at
high prices, and quite aneat little sum
was realized, which will be expended
on the furnishing of the new school
house.
1t certainly was a very enjoyable
day-a red letter day for country
folks.
1t was not decided where the next
meeting will be held.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

only one way to cure deafness. and that IL

this tube Is infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when II is
