A. the formerly of New who has permanently located in this is experimenting with an elixir of When the doctor first heard of the discovery by Dr. ot of the elixir thus his information on the character of the said to produce such remarkable results in rejuvenating decrepit and aged was so crude that he was forced to the belief that the report was either a ard or the experimenter bad given to the world statements that could be only ex- by the fact of his Since then be has received detailed counts of the methods employed by Dr. Brown Sequard and they impressed him so favorably that he determined to test the virtue of the elixir The re- port of the experiment first given to the world on this side of the Atlantic stated that the youth giving fluid was ed ol the vital organs of the a ture of the liver and as the fact is that it is made from the most delicate portion of every animal's anatomy that which is already known for its giving The distinguished man secured his material from a Guinea whereas Dr. took the lamb for his which he believed to be superior to any other animal for the purpose to which he has put it. This material he places in a pounds to a and adding dis- tills an which is administered to the patient by a hypodermic The actual work of experiment by Dr. Hammond began a week and he has pursued it constantly ever His sub- ject is an old who is decrepit to an extreme The treatment is exceedingly and consists of an injection in the patient's leg every other The quick results already obtained have astonished and gratified the The decrepit patient has already shown signs of returning vitality that seem this change having been marked on the third day after the application of the elixir was first The doctor stated the facts of the ment practically as but reserves his decision on the merits the life-giving fluid until his experiment is which it will not be until six weeks after inaugurating the Besides the case mentioned two other patients will be subjects for the and that no question can be raised as to the way of reaching the they will be ignorant of the character of their treatment until it is Keport I Warrea In submitting this report I labor under a from the fact that I have held the office but a short time and must necessarily base my report on data ed by To the retiring Mr. my thanks are due for the aid he has given me in this and many other The schools of the county are in excellent condition The sentiment of directors and patrons seems to be toward improving school property and generally advancing school The length of term has been salaries of teachers and a better class of instructors The work and fest interest of our teachers convinces me that our schools are and that Warren county ere be able to boast as good schools as any of her sister To this end it is hoped that di- rectors will lock to the marking of cates in hireing especially in en- gaging those with whom they are not It is one test at least and a teacher that lacks ambition to make a better usually lacks energy to make a successful A A tbe Health Commute ed to Public attention has been called to the old house at the corner of Market and Fifth by tbe death of a little boy named Barber from a malignant case of typhoid The house is occupied by two families comprising eleven and the pants for some time have been objects of being in destitute circumstances and some one ill most of the The sanitary condition ot the old house is simply but the deficient points need not be enumerated The health board have investigated the at the request of the but made no re- port on the promise of the owners that it should be The recent case of typhoid has aroused the righteous tion of the and the attention of the health board is again called to the The property is owned we by congressman Watson and Hon.

An obituary will be published next During the year the following districts have erected new Columbus Spring Spring Creek has also erected woodsheds at all buildings and otherwise improved school All buildings erected are substantial structures and are well adapted to their The large number of school rooms that are papered and furnished with improved furniture surprised me. It is one of the most en- features of the year's work to see that school boards are taking pains to make our school rooms pleasant and During the year some 120 improved school charts have been put in the schools at a cost of anatomical charts have been purchased in and other Arbor day was observed in many places and much has been done in the way of im- proving yards There is still tcom for much work and I earnestly request teachers to bring this to the attention of directors and patrons and endeavor to make our school as they should pleasant and The work in the Tidioute school has made rapid progress during and much has been done to prove tbe and demonstrate the feasibility introducing manual training at our During the winter their school building was damaged by The repairs and changes that followed were made by the industrial the boys of the school doing most of the Much praise is due those citizens of Tidioute who furnish financial aid for this The Warren schools made a good record during the Among other things Pangs system of drawing was A very creditable display of the work in this department was made last The county institute was held at Warren November 19-24, and was well attended by a class of energetic Some 260 were enrolled and all seemed alive to the fact that it was a week of Dr. Mary Miller and Mrs. Miss McConkey and others did excellent work as The teachers that presented papers showed by their work that they are abreast of the times in their Dr. Higbce was with us and lent valuable aid m answering questions and addressing the The evening lecturers were Dr. B. S. Belva Lockwood and Dr. Mary The lectures were well The Indian school was in session eight months with Bennie Huff as The work seemed to be the greatest trouble being to secure regular In conclusion I am glad to state that the school directors of the several districts are in most from the most intelligent men of the It seems that citizens are becoming aware of the importance of the position and are placing their best men in My thanks are due to the department for to the patrons and and to all who have in any contributed to the success of our H.
