Institute. The trustees of French and Hartford townships, their teachers and a good representation of their patrons and pupils, met in Buena Vista, on last Saturday and held an exceedingly interesting teachers institute. To mention all the attractive feature would require much more time and space than 1 our genial publishers could afford us. | Owing to the size of the audience, the ' 'Evangelical church building wns secured in which the institute was held. On ' motion of Superintendant Bnow. Mr. ‘ B. F. Kizer was selected as chairman for the occasion. The work of the program was begun with music by a select choir under the direct management of D A. Baumgartner. Next came the opening exercises, after which followed air eloquent address of welcome by master Wesley Hoffman, the “Cisero of the Southwest” or “Boy Orator of the Wabash.” Fext in order was an interesting program arranged by the teacherrs of the Linn Grove schools and rendered by the pupils under their charge. In this section ■ worthy of particular mention was an original poem written by Miss Alice, Runyon, on the subject of the origin and advancement of the graded schools of the village. The recitation, “Little Jim” by Miss Lizzie Lindsey was impressive and re iched the hearts of all. Next followed adiscussion of the subject, “Something about a Woman ” It was decided in the affirmative Mr. Wetter was one of the judges. " The work of the afternoon brought forth a number pf.valuable papers and much interesting discussion. Though the wehthbr was inclement all the teachers,of Hartford and French townships were present, besides several patrons and teachers from other school corporations. At the close of the program a hearty “reminder” was brought to the notice of the instate of the educational interest manifest and the general hospitality of the good people of Linn Grove. *

Kemetly For Smut. “It has been proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that smut can be eradicated by the proper use of pure bluestone. Some farmers perform the work in such a careless way that they might as well have not treated their seed grain at all. It will not do to sprinkle the seed over iin a haphazard way. Every berry ■ should be thoroughly wet with a a solnI tion of bluestone of proper strength. In I such an important matter no risk should I be taken by purchasing a cheap article I I of bluestane, and only the best should be taken by farmers. As the matter of the sale of adulterated bluestone will be fully .. ventilated between now and spring, merchants should see to it that they secure only a pure article. Country merchants bv refusing to handle a chea.p or adulterated article, will be do- , ing the farmers a real service — Winni- I peg Commercial ~ # Letter Ll«t.

Our National Wealth. In 1850 the total wealth of this country was $7,136,000,000, about S3OB per capita: in 1860 ft bad risen to $16,160.000,000. or about $514 per head; in 1870 it was $30.060.000,-000. or about S7BO per bead: in 1880 it bad risen to sl3 642.000,000. or SB7O per head; and in 1800 to 63,600,01 K),000. or SI.IMM) per head. Os the classes of this country, such as doctors, lawyers, teachers. journalists and clergymen, 40 per ) cent, have less than SI,OOO capital; 50 per cent, rejoice in a capital of from 1 SI,OOO to $lO 000} 6 per cent, have from ) SIO,OOO to §IOO 000, and only 1 per cent, enjoy the possession of more than SIOO,1 000 l .. . ( When the last census was taken the depositors in the savings banks numi bered 4.533.217, or about one-third of the number of voters, while the de- ' posits amounted to $1 623,000.000. an i average to each depositor of about $358 It is believed that no other country can show so large an amount of savings as this. Os the farmers of this country onefourth,- or 25 per cent. have property valued at less than $1,000; 73 per cent, have holdings rated at from SI,OOO to $10,000; and only 2 per cent, have property valued at from SIO,OOO to SIOO,OOO. The number of millionaires among the farmers is so inappreciably small that it does not appear in the census returns. In 1860 thQ real estate ot this country was estimated at $7,000,000 000. and the personal property at $9,100,000 000; in 1870 the real estate was valued at SB,900,000,000, while the personal property had diminished to $4,300,000,000, in 1880 the real property had still further increased to $13,000 000,000, and personal property had diminished to $3,900,000 000. It is not believed that th§ value of the personal property actually decreased; the difference arising, most probably, from increased skill in evading assessments Save Your Eyes. Health and Money. Do you have headache? Does your eyes water? Do letters blur while reading? It is an established truth that the eyes are the cause of more head aches, neuraliga and nervous disorders than all other causes put together. And since so many of our people suffer more or less from those troubles would it not be better tpassertain whether there is any derangement of the eye ijpfore taking treatment for a condition, (mis- ’ called disease) which may have its ' origin in that organ, buch being the sLse you will never experience a per--1 manent relief until you remove the ’ cause. I carry no stock of spectacles, all mv lenses are ground to order for each particular case. A correct fit guaranteed. ‘ Rimless and other modern eye glass- , es at reasonable prices.
