Accident to Col Jordan.

-On Tuesday evening last Col. Jor
dan went out into his back lot and
ATTEMPTED to catch loose horse. He
drove him up the lane and put up
some bars to prevent his getting out
again until caught. From some
cause or other the horse became
frightened and came rushing towards
the COL, who was standing just out.
side the bars. He ran against and
broke the bars, one of which struck
the Col. just above the knee, break
ing the thigh. A physician was
called at once who reset the broken
bone. The Col. was resting easy
when last heard from. We earnest
ly hope that no further injury will
result from the accident.

A Meteoric Display Tonight.


In lecture recently delivered in
New York, Professor Richard A
Proctor is authority for saying that
on the 9th of November Ito night
we may expect to see brilliant dis,
play of meteors radiating from a
point near the star Gamma, in the
right foot of the constellation An
dromeda, which is now nearly over
head at about 10 o'clock at night.
The prediction is based upon the
fact that the earth will on that night
reach the track of Biela's comet of
1916, and may possibly meet some
of its fragments. The display will
take place if the meteoric cluster
has not been dissipated.

HAYES, BAGKDOWN.

MI. Hayes is in distress. In his last mes
sage to Congress he admits that all appro-
priations to provide for the performance of
necessary duties expired yesterday, and that
under the laws prohibiting public officers
from involving the government in contracts
or liabilities beyond the actual appropriation,
it is apparent that the means at the dispos
al of the executive department for executing
the laws through the regular ministerial
officers are inadequate. The case is an ex-
treme one, but Mr.. Hayes might have avoided
it by the approval of the bill he has just
vetoed. The fact that Congress saw fit to
withhold appropriations for deputy marshals
employed at the polls was esteemed by him
as an Infringement of his prerogative. He
has already found to the contrary-has
found that he is as impotent as any private
citizen in the matter.
A revelation like this is worth millions to
the people. It shows that no one man can
dictate the policy of the government, even
though he may occupy the executive chair
MIR. Hayes clustered for time, but now
that he finds that that will not answer, he
begs. His begging comes too late. He has
thrown away his opportunities, and must
accept the consequences. If he wants
federal marshals at the polls he can employ
and pay them himself, but ne cannot charge
the bill to the people at large.

were appointed the convention adjourned.
Tuesday morning State Superintendent Won
Coellen called the meeting to order. After
singing and prayer by Prof. King, of Cornell
college, the convention elected Prof. E. G..
Rogers president, Prof. lesson secretary, Prof.
Helmie treasurer. The president introduced
Prof. Robert Graham, of the Oshkosh, Wis,
normal school, as the person employed to con-
duct the institute. Prof. Graham stated that
he did not come to Iowa only to show the way
to conduct an institute. He then read an es-
say on teachers and institute conductors
work. He defined the work as method applica-
| ton. Institutes were not the place for acad-
envy preparation. The work should be
taken in sections. Conductors should secure
attention, awaken intellectual activity. Teach
ers should arouse the people, form public sem
| tlment. Some works on theory and art teach-
ing should be commended as guide for insti-
tutes. The institute field is broadening espec-
| tally for method work. This essay was we'll
received and ordered published.
Prof. Graham followed with lessons in or
typography and spelling.
In the afternoon the convention met. The
county superintendent section held a long dis
cussion on what course of instruction should

A decision was rendered by Judge Brill,

n GRAND TREAT THURSDAY.

The Marvellous Brush Electric Light Under
the Immense Canvass of the London
Show-Huw It Appears, Etc.
The Brush dynamo-electric light is one
of the things to marvel at, and it is in all
respects most brilliant success. The ef-
feet of this light under the 10000 yards
of snowy canvass belonging to the great
London circus is said to be indescribably
grand. In Detroit the city officials and the
board of aldermen visited the show in a
body, principally to inquire into the work
ing of this light. They had the apparatus
and process lucidly explained to them, and
they left with the determination to do every
thing in their power to introduce it gener-
ally in the city. Before leaving each of
them appended his name to testimonial
stating that the great London circus was the
finest in all respects that ever visited De-
troit. They were struck with the uni.
form excellence of the entertainment
and the complete decorum preserved
by the circus officials. They found no con
temptible candy or lemonade pedlers to OK
asperate the audience, no swindlers, and the
ushers and other attaches singular
~ polite and attentive to the patrons of the
establishment. All the above is extraordi-
narily unusual in circus.
The light under the canvas Eliminates
the remotest corners, and any one on tho
topmost tier of seats can read the smallest
print with ease. In word it turns night
into day, and sheds a halo of sterling mag
niicence over every object. 1t will melt
steel without apparent heat burn brilliantly
under water, illuminate radius of two
miles, and cause jet of gas to throw its
own shadow. With the circus it is an en-
phatic success, and has attracted thousands
to the tent who never saw show of the
kind before. Next Thursday the great ex-
hibition will be here.

FIXING THE RESPONSIBILITY

Mr.. Hayes has commenced to craw-fish
He could have saved the humiliation earlier
in the day. His late message partakes very
much of the plea of the mendioant who
asks for aims because his natural protectors
have turned him out. He appears before
Congress as a supplicant, and besceehes
that body to provide for the payment OF
officers who are necessary to the proper
maintenance of the government. We are
glad to see that Mr.. Hayes has given this
much recognition to the legislative branch
of the government.
While the constitution prescribes that
Congress shall make all appropriations
necessary for the maintenance of the govern
ment, Mr.. Hayes has assumed to think
that he should decide. This has been the
gist of all the vetoes he has given to the
public, and it is really the issue at this mo-
ment-whether Congress or the executive
has the power to appropriate moneys for the
payment of officers employed according to
law. Congress has decided that the regu-
larly employed marshals shall be paid, but
that no deputies, employed for unconstitu-
tionol purposes, shall receive compensation.
Hayes has decided that if the extra constitu-
tional officials are not paid, the regular mar
shals shall not receive their dues. The situa-
ton therefore resolves itself into the old case
of "dog eat dog" If the dog in the White
House refuses to allow the dogs of the mar
shals' Offices to draw their pay the conse-
quences will be such as TO drive other ca.
mines away, and these, no doubt, will prov
of benefit to the public service.
Mr.. Hayes knew, when he vetoed the
marshals' bill, that he was depriving many
of his pet officers of their substance. He
"perpetrated" the veto with that knowledge.
Can the marshals look to Congress, in view
of this action on the part of their chosen OK
ecutive, for redress? The subsequent craven
plea for supplies will avail nothing. Mr..
Hayes has deliberately, and with the full
knowledge of the consequences, cut off the
supplies, and to him the marshals will have
to look for their bread and butter.
