TO APPEAL TO KING OSCAR Swedish Girl Will A*k Her Former Sove reign to Interfere I Chicago, Jan. 20.—K ing Oscar, of Sweden, is to be appealed to assi.t Inga Hanson to clear herself of the ■ charges of perjury brought against her as a result of her suit for 850,000 damages against the Chicago City Itailway Company, j The plea which will be sent to the ruler of Sweden will allege that the young woman, being poor and with out influence is unable to get justice and is now in danger of being sent to ' the penitentiary for a crime which : she did not commit. It will declare that the young woman was severely injured and still sutlers from the effects of her injuries and unless the government of Sweden interferes she may have to suffer imprisonment as well. The case of Inga Hanson has been replete with sensational features, in volving first a civil trial, in which the young woman, apparently, blind, deaf, dumb and paralyzed, was car ried into a court room on a cot daily, while a suit to gain u verdict against the railway company was in progress, and then a trial in which she, after what she claimed a miraculous cure, was able to appear in court to defend herself against the charges of perjury. The second case is still pending Teacher's Meeting. The second meeting of the I.ime stono township Teachers and Direct ors was held at the Limestone Ridge school house, Monday cieiving Jan. 17, 1905. At HII early hour the room was fill ed with Pal rolls and friends of this and neighboring schools. At 7 30, the teacher Miss Bessie Deri', called the audience to order and opened Ihe exeicises with music by her school. This was followed hv an excellent' list of Recitations, delivered hv her pupils, and also songs and Recita tions from l.imostoneville, California and Fail-view schools. The teachers of Limestone are very generoiih and believe in giving and receiving help to entertain the audi ences at these meetings. A decussion in Primary arithmetic was opened by J. Miles Derr, who selected a class of primary pupils from each school represented, and illustrated his method of interesting small pupils in number work. The little folks acquitted themselves very creditably in handling numbers. He then selected a moie advanced class of pupils fiom the different schools and gave a drill ill fractions and decemials This was followed by an interesting discussion of the subject introduced and also a few points on loiter writing. The following teachers joined in making the discussion in teresting. Charles ilartmnu, I.ime. sionevillc; Elmer I). Schiuire, I.ime stone Run; Schuyler G. Irwin, Fair view; Miss Bessie Derr, Mr. Klmer Krishcr, Turbot Twp , North'd. Co, and Mr. H. E. lives, Washington ville. Supt. C W. Derr made a clos ing address.
