He began his work Monday, and his territory is .all of this state. Gyant Daley, of Danville, Ind , arrived yesterday afternoon, to be present at and arrange for the funeral of hie brother, John W., killed in the Tennessee railroad wreck. The body will arrive at 4:30 a. m. Thursday, and the funeral will probably be held that day. Nothing however has yet been heard of Wilford Daley, in Kansas. Delos Thompson and J. J. Montgomery returned from Kokomo on the train, this morning; having left their auto there for some repairs and alterations. Their ;ourney down was not without tribulations, as their tires got tired and they had to stop at Flors, until another auto from the factory met them with new tires. Another belated summer thunder storm, about two months overdue, arrived early this morning. It was but a mild affair compared with Sunday night’s big disturbance. The rainfall was a quarter of an .inch. Evidently there is more to follow. Mrs Nora Hoffman, of Los Angeles. Cal,, is ""here for a visit with Mrs. J. H. Kinney and other old friends, She was formerly Miss. Nora Moriarty, and she left here 18 years ago, and was married in California a year later, to Mr. Hoffman.

This week s Rensselaer visitors at the worli’s fair have struck a pretty bad time, on account of the heat. Acc irding to newspaper reports it has been so hot in St. Louis this week that the public schools were closed. After much difficulty Wilford Daley, brother of Jonn W. Daley, has been loca'ed in Kansas, and he tehgiaphed to Mr. Cale,J here ih’S morning, that be would arrived on the 6:15 train from Chicago, this evening.

Steward’s agency. No trace saems to have been found o£the SSOO team and outfit stolen from Mr. Peipbo, at Cedar Lake, last Friday jiight. The report that they had been seen at the Kankakee river bridge crossing into Jasper county must be takep with some doubts; for another man claims also to have seen the outfit at Dyer, at about the same time and they could not have been at both places.

Prof. David K. Goss, former superintendent of the Indianapolis schools, committed suicide at Strassburg, Germany, on Monday, where he had an American school for boys.

Indiana con ferenoe placed on the superannuate list, is still staying at Romney, his former charge, and perhaps will reside there for some time to come. He was not arbitrarily placed in the superannuate relation by the conference, but at his own request, and agains; the wishes of many friends. The sickness which was one of the causes for his request for*the superannuuate relation, he attributes to the use of impure water. * At last reports received he had not fully regained his health.

COTTON ISSUES BULLETIN.

Superintendent Urges Closer Attention to Three R’s. Bulletin No. 1. issued ‘monthly by Fassett A. Cotton, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, is in the hands of the printer apd will be sent to the schools throughout the state next wer k. This is the first of a sprits of bulletins to be issued monthly during the sobo.'l year by the superintendent. This bulletin lays special stress on the fundamentals learned by the child during the flrstj'three years of his school course. These years are regarded as the most important in the Guild’s school life, and the grounding in of the old fiashioned “Three R’s” the readin’ ritin’ and ’ rithmetio is urged in this bulletin. According to Mr. Cotton, too much attention has been devoted to subjects such as nature study, which should be treated merely as supplementary to t ie mo:e fundamental subject, Mr. Cotton says that t( sobers have allowed these “feds” to enter into the school work, to the detriment of the really basic sub jects, and in this bulletin he advocates a return to the close consideration by teacher and pupil of such subjects as reading, spelling, language, writing and aritnmetr, called “the elementary tools ot education.” In reference to poor spelling the bulletin says: ‘Doubtless the poor spelling we jYear so much about is due to the fact in the last decade or so less stress has been put on that subject than hitherto. Spelling cannot bo taught incidentally and no one can learn to spell too well, We have retuined to the old fashioned spelling, and the old fashioned and the ora! spelling match cn Friday after noons will be a profittble diversion ”
