Tlio County Touchers "Wind lTp Their Week's Work and Pleasure Hy S'Hssinj Resolution*.
The Montgomery County Teachers' Association adjourned last Friday after a most successful session. It was one marked by large attendance, close attention and general good work. The following resolutions were presented and passed:
Your committee on resolutions beg leave to offer the following report: WHEREAS, The different superintendents of this county have always felt the need of more funds to conduct successfully its institute work, be it
Resolved, That the institute fee he made seventy-fiveccents for each member, thus enabling the superintendent to secure enough competent help to make our excellent institute still more profitable to the teachers.
WHEREAS, All teachers recognize the restraining and elevating influences of good literature upon children, be it
Resolved, That this institute consider the advisability of appointing a committee of representative teachers to urge the establishment of township libraries throughout the State, lie it further
Resolved, That we as teachers should exercise the utmost care in the selection of books to read to our pupils, and that we do not regard such books as "The Adventuies of Tom Sawyer," "Huckleberry Finn," "Peck's Bad Boy" and others of like character as at all adapted to the end which the best teaching has in view, although such work6 may be harmless in their proper place. Be it also
Resolved, That we as teachers interested in every phase of the progress of humanity, emphasize on every possible occasion the efforts of tl Humane Society for the prevention of cruelty to animals and your committee recommend to the teachers of this county the books entitled "Black Beauty" and "The Strike at Shane's" as biing most admirably adapted to instill those divine lessons of pity and compassion into the minds of the children under their care. Be it further
Resolved, That the press by anecdotes and cartoons in praise of the sharp practices and deceits of the bad boy, has a tendency to lower the standard of morals among the young and to a great extent neutralize the good effects of the moral training of the public schools.
WHEREAS, The question of teaching vocal music in our public schools is being agitated
Resolved, That it is the sense of this institute that a course in vocal music be arranged by the proper authorities, and that specialists in this branch be engaged to teach the same throughout this county.
Resolved, That the thanks of the teachers be extended to the instructors who have been with us during the week for their efficient and inspiring work and that we extend our congratulations to Supt. Walkup upon the complete success of the first institute under .his regime, to which the perfect attention and courtesy of the teachers contributed no small part.

Committee.
A red-hot resolution resolution favoring co-education at Wabash College had also been drawn up and all the teachers were aching for it to be presented in order that they might test their lung power in voting for its passage. By some bobble, however, it was smothered in the committee and did not come before the institute. This failure caused a very general disappointment, not onlv among the teachers, but all over the town.
NOTES.
Ollie Lollis will teach at No. 6 in Walnut. return to Dar-
Wallaee Little will lington. ,! The enrollment iv to noon Friday reached 235.
Wallace Linn will conduct the Tinkersville school. Fred Kincaid will stir up enthusiasm at No. 15 in Union.
Stella Olinger will impart knowledge at No. 11 in Union. Clyde Jones will teach in Sugar Oreek township this fall.
Adam Carrick will take care of school interests at Bowers. Homer Davidson will not teach this winter but will attend school at Wabash.
The township trustees have ordered sterilizers to be used in the school rooms this winter.
The county board has decided to discontinue the issuing of the second
grade one year'o license instead of the two years as stated in last week's JOURNAL.
Supt. Walkup is well satisfied with the institute work and he deserves the the highest commendation of all.
The following instructors have been secured for the Thanksgiving Association: Prof. E. W. Kemp, of Indiana State Normal, Rev. Stonvenour, of Portland, Rev. Connor, of Danville.
Last week closed one of the most enthusiastic Teachers' Institute that has ever been held. The attention which the vast assembly gave proved the interest which they took. The attendance, 2:i5, is 19 more more than any other previous institutes. There are 215 teachers employed in the county but many more are interested in school work.
Tlie Methodist Conference.
The Methodists of the Northwest Indiana Conference met in fortysixth annual session at Lebanon this week. The attendance included about 200 ministers, secretaries and agents of the various societies and publishing interests. Bishop J. M. Walden, of Cincinnati, will preside.
The Methodist church is strong in this section of Indiana. According to statistics, there are 40,337 members and probationers in the conference, and 41,85(3 members of Sunday schools. The 347 church buildings are valued at §984,250 and the 100 parsonages at $143,820. Last year the following amounts were contributed to benevolences: Crawfordsville District 85,751) Groeneastle District 8,328 Lafayette District 7,710 South 'B«nd District 6,848 Valparaiso District 4,540
Total for Conference. 133,185 The conference is composed of 214 members as follows: Supcranuates.. 26 Supernumeraries Effective Elders 109 Effective Deacons 1 Probationers liJ Candidates for admission 11 Supplies.. 25
This is certainly a strong showing If the other three conferences in the State tally with the Northwestern, there are in Indiana about 850 Methodist ministers, and 101,348 members and probationers, and 167,425 members of Methodist Sunday schools

The Polychrome Bible.
Professor Haupt and Dr. H. H. Fur ness have been for a long time engaged at John Hopkins University in the preparation of the English edition of the Poly chrome Bible, which shows by the printing in different colors of the text the history of the writing of the books which have been in dispute among the exponents of the higher criticism. Under the title, "The Real Isaiah," Mr. 0. U, Levy gives in the magazine number of the Outlook for September a really fascinating account of this work, and of that of Professor T. K. Cheyne, who is the English editor. [S3 a year. The Outlook Company, 13 Astor Place, New York.]
To l&e Married,
W. W. Ireland, Jr., and Miss Grace Berryman, of Louisville, are soon to be married. Mr. Ireland is connected with the Evansville Courier. Under the receivership he was managing editor. The paper was sold to Chicago parties recently and Mr. Ireland will continue under this new management. Mr. Ireland has many friends here, having been in Wabash College for three years. He is a member of the Delta Tau fraternity. Miss Berryman formerly lived in Darlington and later resided here in Crawfordsville. After the death of Dr Berryman with whom she made her home she moved with Mrs. Berryman to Louisville, Ivy.
At The State Fair.
The time to visit Indianapolis will be during State Fair week, Sept. 13 to 18, when the railroads will give low rates and the city will be in gala attire. This meeting of the State Fair will be more than interesting, the races especially promising to be more hotly contested than ever before, the entries already made showing a big and varied field of horses. All indications point to a big show of all kinds of stock, and the other departments will certainly be interesting.
A l'also Report.
It has been rumored that the trusof Wabash College will hold a special meeting this month to consider the question of co-education. No such good move is in prospect, however. The rumor is pronounced by members of the board as utterly without foundationThey state that the question may be discussed at the mid-winter meet of the trustees and it may not. In the meantime old Wabash will go merrily shooting down the toboggan.

J. A. Watrous, among many other incidents of the Bull'alo Encampment, gives this picture of two posts which marched by President McKinley in review: "Here comes a post moving like regulars. Every man is looking to the front. Not a smile of recognition is given in any direction. The commander brings his sword to a salute and says: 'Uncover!' Every hat is lifted by a left hand and placed upon right shoulder, and the colors gracefully dip. So the rich city post passes the President. What does he do? lie lifts his beaver, bows dignifledly, looks pleasant, does not smile and makes no comment. The picture is an impressive one the lesson one to remember. The post from the large city was ambitious to convince the e.ommander-in-chief of the army and navy that its members had not forgotten how to be military in the strictest sense. "Now for another picture. "Here come a village post, the most of whose members are farmers. A few fifes and drums, rather unskillfully operated, make its music. When within four or five rods of the President the farmer commander called out in a most unmilitary way: 'There he is, bovs, there's McKinley get ready to cheer when we pass him.' Every dim old eye is fixed upon McKinley, the men march out of step and in zigzag lines, but they are all getting a good square look at the man they most want to see. When they reach the right point oft' come their hats and caps of all colors and conditions, but they go in the air instead of resting on right shoulders, a lusty cheer goes higher than the hats and then these old men bow and bow until several yards beyond the President. What does he do? He faces to the left the moment the past appears—faces with a beaming countenance. When he hears the old commander tell the 'boys' 'there's McKinley' ho laughs aloud and gradually settles to a smile that is as warm as a grate fire. His bowing head and swinging arms are not made to order they are of natural growth he can't help it. Hearts are trumps with both President and post, and thousands discovering the fact rise to their feet and cheer. When the President's eyes lift from the irregular files of happy old men passing from view and he again faces to the front the plain track of a raindrop shows on his cheek. But the sky is cloudless. It is not the track of a raindrop. The march of the old men of the village post, the warmth of their expressions and their look of love and approval had done more than touch his heart they had tapped the fountain of his tears. "And what a picture it was. Who saw it to forget it? And the lesson— who of the multitude present will forget that?

Moks Ihic Us
Lebanon Reporter: At 8 o'lock la&b evening at the Grand Opera IIouEe, Lloyd Hammond, in a few appropriate and well selected words, introduced to a small audience, Prof. Milford of Wabash College, who explained for over an hour the life, works and tenets of Robert Browning. The very mention of a lecture on Browning makes some people tired, and that was possibly a reason for the small number in attendance. Though such lectures are usually dry and though but few people get very deeply interested in Browning's works, the lecturer handled his subject in such a masterly way that ho not only interested his listeners, but also created in many of them a desire for a deeper study of the fruits of such a great mind as that of.
Browning's. It is strango that young men or women cannot attend a meeting and listen, or at least remain quiet or go home. The audience was disturbed laBt evening by some young men carrying on a conversation in the back part of the room. In the middle of the lecture, Judge IIiggins arose and asking pardon of the lecturer for disturbing him, proceeded to invite the young men to be quiet or leave the room. That was sufficient and the lecturer proceeded undisturbed. The action of the Judge is highly commended but it is deplored that such an action was necessary. "v
A Quiet Tip to Fiiulu,
In the September Ladies Home Journal Edward W. Bolt notes the abuse of the pretty custom of casting a small parcel of rice or dainty slipper alter a departing bride and groom—an unspoken Godspeed. "The dainty slipper," ho also says, "has been transfonned into tlio old shoe of doubtful origin, and thrown with force and aoxc curacy, causing no end of discomfort. And this is what two pretty customs have degenerated into. They have been vulgarized, and, therefore, the sooner they pass into disuse the better. The sentiment of the customs haB been lost. Rico and shoes are no longer omens of good luck. The modern thrower of them has transformed them into missiles with which to annoy aud mortify the bride and groom. The better class of people have already begun to substitute a shower of rose petale, and this new and far more beautiful idea is rapidly being followed. We might have preserved the old customs, but we have not. Henccforth, promiscuous rice-throwing and the casting of old shoes at the weddings will be left to the boors of our modern society, into whose hands these acts have fallen, and who seem happiest when they can convert the graceful customs of olden times into practical jokes,"
11 ifili Sehool Organization. The teachers of the various high schools met in the county superintendent's oilice last week and affected an organizationwithO.il. Cireist, presideat George B. Welty, vice-president, and D. II. (Jilkoy, secretary and treasurer.

A Delicate .Surgical Operation. Last Saturday an operation was performed on James Patterson, the citizen of Walnut township whoso back was broken some five or six weeks ago in a, runaway accident. The operation was performed by Dr. A. J. Ochsner, of Chicago, who was assisted by Dr. O. H. Jones and Dr. T. F. Leech. Several inches of the spinal chord were exposed and the pressure relieved. The operation was a very delicate one and Mr. Patterson stood it excellently. His recovery is by no means assured, however, and it will be some time before the result of the operation can bo ascertained. The case is one which is attracting considerable attention in medical cirles over the State.
