Chance for Teachers. A Scarcity of Licensed Teachers in Madison County. Madison county is in a predicament. There is a scarcity of teachers in the licensed list, and over sixty schools are yet vacant. According to a special to the Indianapolis Sentinel Superintendent Johnson is unable to fill the vacancies, as he finds a similar state of affairs existing all over the state. He has at last decided to circumvent the matter by licensing all those who make a fairly good showing in the examinations, although below the six month' s grade. This is considered necessary, as every resource has been exhausted to fill the places. There never was such a shortage of teachers as this year, and there is no room for the average young man to howl hard times and no work if they can pass an examination. This method of filling the places will have to be resorted to in almost all of the central counties. Tipton county is short forty teachers on her list. In the number of teachers employed Madison is the second county in the state. There the total number is over three hundred. Supt, Johnson is a well-known I.U. graduate, and Madison county's delegation to the University is always large. That

Spread With Lightning Rapidity

Destroying Both Homes And Business Houses While The Owners Stand Helplessly By And See The Fire Fiend's Fiendish Work. Wednesday night shortly after ten o'clock the little hamlet of Hindostan just north of this city was entirely destroyed by fire. Owing to the scarcity of water the flames spread with lightning rapidity destroying almost everything in sight entailing a loss of several thousands of dollars, with but little or no insurance. The fire was discovered in the rear of Samuel Houston's grocery establishment. The store proved to be good food the flames and in a remarkable short space of time had spread to the store of Wm. Neal. The post office and its contents was the next victim for the flames. Two dwelling, houses of Samuel Houston's were next burned, and a store room owned by Lewis & Co. of Martinsville, which was followed by other dwellings. The fire in fact just burned itself out, as it was impossible for the citizens to make much of a fight, there being little or no water in reach of the fire. The bucket brigade succeeded in saving several buildings after a hard fought battle. The property of Samuel Houston was valued at $1,200; insured for $800. The store room of Wm. Neal was insured. The loss will amount to about $800. The stock of goods and building belonging to Lewis & Co., was not insured, loss amounting to about $1,000. In the postoffice was a number of pension checks for the old veterans in that neighborhood, and they were destroyed. It was almost im possible yesterday to get a correct summary of the losses and insurance as the parties who brought the information to the city were very much excited. Hindostan is about 12 miles north of this city and is a well known place, and where Col. D. O. Spencer spent many years of his life. The fire, or reflection in the sky was notiecd [noticed] here by Watchman Smallwood and it appeared to be only a few miles out. The light was seen for more than two hours. The fire is supposed to be the work of incendaries and it is claimed that certain parties could explain if they would. Chickamauga Dedication. Gov.

Then Prof. Aley talked on General Methods - This was followed by a splendid recitation by Miss Carrie Urmey of Harrodsburg. In the afternoon the McCabe Quartette sang a couple of excellent songs. Prof. Sanders then gave a Science Lesson in which he showed some of the actions of alcohol. After intermission Prof. Sanders gave a talk especially for the benefit of the trustees.

It will be remembered that a few days ago a team owned by W. J. Bray, the lumberman, became frightened and ran away, dashing into a surrey owned by Mrs. L. J. Buckley, the well known milliner, and demolishing the aforesaid surrey. Mrs. Buckley was at the time in the vehicle with Miss Daisy Fee, and the smash up occured just opposite the post office. At the time of the accident the ladies barely escaped with their lives and Mrs. Buckley is now confined to her bed by nervous prostration. It is understood that a damage suit will be filed against Mr. Bray, the owner of the team, by Mrs. Buckley. Mr. Bray will hold the driver, Alva Carter, responsible for team's caprice, taking the ground that he had repeatedly warned Mr. Carter to never leave the team unless it was safely secured. Mr. Bray claims that Carter did not have the team hitched on this occasion, and should Mrs Buckley sue him, he will institute proceedings against Carter. E. B. McGee and family will go to Louisville Saturday, to spend a few days viewing the sights of the Falls City.
