Somerset county is getting to be noted
for horse-stealing. Last week a horse
was stolen from J. 8. Hartzell, of Addi-
son, also one from Rufus Heinbaugh, of
the same township. Amos Kurtz, who
lives on J. 8. Hartzell’s farm, mourns the
loss of .a buck wagon and some harness,
which were stolen the same night the
horses were stolen. The Cooley gang is
blamed for the theft.
Now, just see what our tax collector is
up to, will von? See his notice on 4th
page. Will means business and does not
propose to pay a lot of other people’s tax
out of his own pocket. as some of onr
tax collector’s have done in the past.
Every man can easily pay his tax, and he
who does not pay should not be monk-
eyed with by the tax collector, but put in
soak in the county jail.

Since ‘‘Bobbie” Harding and Ed. Pen-
rod have been lodged in jail to await trial
on a charge of robbing Cook & Beerits’
store, several other prosecutions charg-
ing robbery having been entered against
them by farmers of Somerset township,
whose houses were entered on a Sunday
while the families were absent at church.
The reason assigned by the farmérs for
not entering prosecutions before now is
that they were fearful of gaining ‘the
young rascals’ ill will lest they would
set fire to their houses and barns. It is
that Harding was tied by confederates
and left lying in the Somerset Mechanic-
al Works office on the night the B. & O.
station at this place was hnrelarized, some
time ago. —Herald,

* SUGGESTIONS.
1. These committees are requested to
prepare programs. and to determine dates
and places for the first institutes in their
respective sections. Where institutes
have already been organized. they should
work in harmony with such organiza-
tion.
2. Each committee should be called
together by the chairman as soon ns
practicable, and the first regular institute
should be held not later than the 22nd of
October. This date is at the least ‘three
weea after schools open.

tion should he effected by the election of
a district leader, president. vice president,
secretary and any other officer desired.
4. The district leader should be a
standing member of the program cominit-
tee, ; i: © !
5. Bhould any of the districts desire to
hold separate iustitutes, or to be com-
bined with other districts, a request to
this effect signed by a majority of teach-|
ers of such district will secure the the de-
sired change.
6. Each section should decide for it-
self the number of institutes to be held
during the term, and the time and Place]
for each succeeding meeting.
7. The district leaders will be for-
nished blanks for the purpose of secnr-
ing complete reports of each meeting, to-
gether with such other data, relative to
the educational affairs in each district, as
may be of interest and value to the Su-
perintendent.
8." Directors, patrons and pupils should
be invited and encouraged 10 take an ac-
tive part in all these institutes. Only by
a cordial co-operation can they be made
most interesting and profitable.
9. Every tescher should feel the same
degree of responsiblity to be present at
the monthly institute, and to do his full
share in its success, as in his daily work
Fin the school room. No wide-awake,
progressive tencher will want to be ab-
sent or tardy at any time.
10. Institute work is not a sacrifice on
the part of the teachers. It pays for it
self every time it is well done, while it
donbly pays the schools in its great bene:
fit to them. Directors should therefore
encourage and sustain thelr teachers in
this good work.
11. I will personally attend as many
of the institutes as possible. I can not
attend all of them, but I expect to hear
of the attendance, the work and the in-
teres of every one held during the term.
It is my earnest desire that every meeting
be a success and that every teacher do
his full share in securing such a result.
