The bill relating to the pay and qualifications of teachers in public schools, as prepared by the State Educational Commission, has been passed by the seaate and is now pending in the house. The elect of the reclassification of the salaries and the basis of determining them, would be an in. crease over present wages of 12 H, 45 and 67 cents a day, depending on the length of service of teachers. As to qualifications the bill provides that teachers entering the service must have had a high school education, or its equivalent, at least twelve weeks in a training school for teachers and a twelve months' license. Teachers, in order to be classified as having “one years experience,” must have had a twenty-four weeks’ course in a training school and must have gained a two years' license. For teachers in the highest class, a three years’ license and a certificate of graduation from a training school are required. Whether this measure, if it becomes a law, will be generally satisfactory is not known. The commission which framed it was appointed by Governor Hanly to investigate 4he questions involved. • According to CoL Durbin, farmer governor Capt. Harry S. New is not yet chairman of the Republican national committee. Col. Durbin declares that Cortelyou is chairman until his resignation has been submitted to and accepted by the committee, if this view is correct, Capt. New is still on the waiting list —and be has waited a long time. As the newspapers have quoted Col. Durbin as favoring 1 -e renomination of Roosevelt toi the presidency, he may think it impc : i<j-t to keep Handyman Cortelyon at the bead of the national organization. To stop a cold with Preventice is safer than to let run and cure it nt terwards. Taken at the sneeze stage Preventics will head off all colds and grip, and perhaps, save you from pneumonia or bronchitis. Preventics are little toothsome candy cold cure tablets selling in 5 cent and 25 cent boxes. It you are chilly, U you begin to sneeze, try Preventics. They will surelv check the cold and please the cold. Sold by W. H. NACHTRIEB.

Ambrose, “One Sweetly Solemn Thought.” These Christian and cultured gen. tiemen have accomplished a splendid work for the cause of Christ and the Presbyterian church of Decatur. Those who have had the privilege as well as the pleasure of bearing them speak and sing, and'of meeting them socially have been greatly helped and encouraged. Some have accepted Christ, and those who are Christians have been led out into a larger and broader life. Many wished that the services might have continued another week, but this was not possible. Everyone, though, who have been privileged to attend these services will carry with them a very pleasant memory of them in the future. Rev. Master and Mr. Yarneile gave their services free of charge to the congregation. It was a work of love. The Session of the church as well as the whole congregation greatly appreciate their Work of love among them. Their prayer is that God would richly reward them for the good work they have done. And should they visit Decatur in the fu. ture. they will receive a warm welcome from the trembeft of iriends cf the Presbyterian church. — ... -o W H Gilpen returned this morning ifr-tu a business trip to Fort Wayne. Today Elmer, another- son of Mr. and Mrs. Charleae E. Sturgis, developed a case of diphtheria. Anti.toxine was administered at once. So far during the preva.ence of the disease at the Sturgis home over 32.000 units cf anti.toxine have been administer, ed. However, all lhe eases seem pre. pared to have a most favorable termination. Mrs. Sturgis, who was taken sick yesterday, was feeling better today.—Bluffton Banner.

Unlike the majority of dramas of the border. Mr. Bashford, the author of the play, has seized upon, “society folks" as they exist in the far. northwest and thus presents a phase of life that has not been seen on the stage heretofore, and one that must appeal to all patrons of the theatre. The play wAs written expressly for that wonderfully versatile actor, Robert Downing, and in the title role, he has created enthusiasm wherever he has appeared. Perhaps, no playwright has ever succeeded in building a part for an actor that is better suited to his talents than is this refined comedy of western life. The play is as wholesome and refresh, ing as a breath from the forests of the Cascades, and has been accorded a m’ost flattering reception py the theatre-going public At the Bosse Opera House, Monday, February 25. •' — o Lehne has the Fin est line of Eagle goods in the city. 45-5 o GEOHGE HENRY HART. , 1 George Henry Hart was born in Union township, Adams county, Oct. i 1859, died Feb. 17, 1907, having epent j i his entire life in Union township.
