"Some years ago I was one of a party that intended making a long bicycletrip, says F. L. Tavlor, of New Albany, Bradford County, Pa. “I was taken suddenly with diarrhoea, and was about to give up the trip, when editor Ward, of the Laceyville Messenger, suggested that I take a dose of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. I purchased a bottle and took twa doses, one before starting and one on the route. I made the trip successfully and never felt any ill effect. Again last summer 1 was almost completely run down with an attack of dysentery. I bought a bottle of this remedy and this time one dose cured me.’ Sold by Long.

Mrs. Sarah Platt and children are visiting relatives and friends near Goodland. We understand the Lafayette' carnival “boom” train will be here next Thursday.

A class of men I can’t understand, says an exchange, is the fellow who is “justas good as gold”but who manages to carry the “gold” around in his pocket when he owes it to you. He is good for it but what good does the money do you? You may have to pay your bills every month; he gets mad if you try to collect from him once a year because he's “good for it,” don't vou know.

The Shrimplin vsJndy A-Wood case for $25,000 damages, will be tried next week at Williamsport. Shrimplin resides in Walker tp., this county, and the trouble originated over the taking of some property from him forcibly on chattel mortgage, in which Mrs. Shrimplin was severely injured from being kicked, as alleged, by the defendants or their agent. Other damage cases will also be brought, we understand, as soon as this one is disposed of.

The executive committee of the Jasper County Teacher’s Association met Thursday afternoon to arrange a program for the next annual session. The committee discussed the advisability of joining with White county and if possible Newton, in an association instead of holding one for Jasper county teachers only. The committee thought such a step without the consent of the teaching body not advisable, so instructed the president to correspond with instructors and conduct the association similiar to that held last year.

It is rumored that the city council is thinking seriously of passing an anti-bicycle-sidewalk ordinance. It is certainly about time something was done in this line. We never see a bicycle upon the streets of Rensselaer any more, all the riding being done upon the sidewalks. At least ninety per cent, of the people of this city do not ride wheels at all and it would seem that the rights of these people should be recognized by the city officials. If nothing else is done, we would suggest that the expensive cement walks which the property owners have paid for be dedicated to the few who ride wheels, and a couple of feet of space in the gutter be kept sacred to the vast number of those who walk.

Teacher’s Institute.

The teachers of Jasper county assembled in the east court room in this city, Monday at 10 a. m., in response to the call of Supt. Hamilton to meet in their annual county institute, continuing until Friday afternoon. The instructors, as well as teachers, were on the ground early, and work began promptly. The lectures of Dr. Norman Triplet of Worcester, Mass., on-“ Child Study'’ were very instructive and enjoyed by all intelligent teachers. Hon. F. L. Jones, State Supt. Public Instruction, who never fails to give satisfaction at the instiutes, spoke on the “Nineteenth Century.” On Thursday afternoon, Prof. Jones delivered an address to the “Class of 1901’’ of common school graduates at the Presbyterian church. His remarks were full of hope and encouragement for those just completing the common school work and it was his desire to see them make this first triumph—a stepping stone to others higher up the ladder of education. Prof. L. D. Eichorn of Bluffton, had charge of the music. As an instructor of music our state has few that equal Prof. E. The teachers of Jasper county are making a great effort to adopt music in their schools and the work of so excellent a teacher was a treat to each and every one present. The interest and good attendance show that the institute has been a success. The number enrolled was 151.
