ADAMS <OI NTY TEACHERS’ INSTITUTE. The annual session of the Adams County Teachers’ Institute, will convene in the circuit room in Decatur, Ind., on Monday, August 30, 1897, at 1:30 p. m. We extend a cordial invitation to the people generally, especially the teachers and prospective teachers and the various school officials If you can not attend the entire session, attend part of the time at least. D. M. Geeting, State Superintendant of Public Instruction, is expected to be present on Tuesday, August 31, 1897. VVe think you will find the evening entertainments interesting as well as instructive. The entertainment for Monday evening Aug. 30, will be given by the Decatur Choral Union under the direction of F. M. Schirmeyer, also Miss Dollie Schafer will give three readings. Miss Schater recently graduated from the National School of Elocution and Oratory at Philadelphia, receiving first honors.

Earle Wilfley of Wabash, Ind., will give his celebrated lecture “Ben Hur.” It will be illustrated by use of oxhydrogen or lime light. The chariot race, the sea fight and the crucifixion will be recited. The entertainments for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evening will be given in the circuit court room and are free for all. The lectures for Thursday and Friday evenings will be in the Presbyter ian church, and a small admission fee will be charged to help to defray the expense of the lectures. A pleasant and profitable session is assured to all who attend. Yours truly, Irvin Brandyberry, County Superintendent. The Adams County Farmer's Midsummer Picnic and Institute that was held four miles east of Berne is among the things of the past. It was the best of the kind ever held in the county. Decatur was well represented, and the excellent program was rendered in full, and the young people deserve more than a passing notice like this for the part they took in making the institute a success. I will refrain from speaking of any one of them, but will say to alll you did exceedingly well, for which you have the thanks of all interested in the institute. I. N. Teeter, Sec’y.

Washington, Aug. 13.—Unless the treasury department can be brought to modify its construction of the tariff law in respect to the duty of stone imported for government use, one of the largest engineering works now in progress in this country—the construction of the Buffalo breakwater —will be brought to an absolute standstill. The war department made a contract with Hughes Bros. & Bangs for the construction of this work, and under the contract the government was to take the stone from the Canadian quarries across the lake and lay it down at the breakwater. The treasury department had been first consulted and held that this could be done without incurring any duty. The collector at Buffalo has notified the war department that he must assess duty on the stone and refuse to admit it until the duty is paid. The work must stop unless the treasury officials relent. POWIIKKLI'S CIRCULAR. Instructions to Immigration Commissioners to Lookout For Anarchists.
