W- SENATOR HENRY G. DAVIS NOT A
CANDIDATE FOR RE-EIECTIoN.-A Wash
ington correspondent to the Wheeling
Register SAYS
have to regret that Senator Davis
has frequently expressed his purpose of
late, to Senator's and to your correspon-
dent not TO be a candidate for re-elec-
ton to the Senate. His brother MEM
bers has also heard this determination
with regret because they know what
un,irng industry, sound judgment aud
practical wisdom he has brought to the
discharge OF the important duties which
have devolved upon him, not onl y as a
Senator, but as the head of the leading
committee OF the body. 1t is not his
case alone that makes me think that
those men who succeed best with their
own private affairs usually when they
devote themselves earnestly to affairs of
State, make the best public servants.

Bay" Col. Ben. Wilson, the Represen-
ta,iye from Wheeling District, has got
ten through the House resolution
making MI appropriation for the publ
cation of $4,000 copies of work on
sheep husbandry, which is said by those
familiar with such things to be invalua-
Lle to sheep raisers. Already, he has
applications from one county of West
Virginia alone TOR hundreds of copies.
1t should be distributed, as far as the
quota of the delegation will permit,
among the leading sheep men OF cur
State, and, as sheep raising promises to
be most important industry with our
people, it will do a good deal of good.
Col. Wilson, who is practical man,did
good thing in offering the resolution.
bayr Gov. Hollida of Virginia has We
toed the Riddlebergcr bill. He says
the title o. the act, "Io establish pub
lie credit" is a misnomer, the object be-
ing really to repudiate part OF the State
debt. lie holds that the people, by
repeated acts Of the Assembly and by
the Constitution adopted in 1869, have
acknowledged as due the entire principal
more than thirteen millions of which is
now attempted TO be repndiated by this

Effects of "Cram ming" Pupils.

Mr.. ELIOT, the School Superintend.
ent Of Boston, complains in his last re-
port of the bad effects of the "cram-
ming" of pupils, of which Prof. Huxley
once said that it made conceited young
people and foolish old ones. A less
patent but hardly less grievous mis-
take which is commonly made in our
public schools is the thoughtless way
in which young girls are directed to
sspeak up during recitation, whereby
it comes to pass that their vocal or
rans are strained and their voices made
high and shrill instead of sweet and
low as the wind of the Western1 sea
when northeasters are not On the ram
page. Everybody has noticed the prev
alence of q disagreeable shrillness in
the voices of American women, and
though the psychologists attribute the
tendency to the influences of our eli
mate, it is undoubtedly aggravated by
the unnatural tension of the vocal or
gans of children at school. Attention
has of late been called to the alarming
preyalence Observation-Disclosures in Germa-
ny,a and oeulists who have reported upon
1t say that it is caused by the straining
ofthe eyes of young children and
youths in study. To remedy the defect
they have proposed not only the short
ening and division of study hours, but
the taking of special pains to secure a
proper disposition of pupils in refer
ence to the direction from which light
falls upon their books. Myopia is not
the peculiar danger of American chill
dren as it is with the Germans; it is the
quality of the larynx, and not of the
eye, that is most imperiled. and in
building Oar schools care should be
taken that their acoustic arrangement
shall be such as to require the least
'possible elevation of the pupils voices.

There are great many people
who imagine that they are as much
benefited by sitting in an open window
or by putting the head out of an open
window as by taking walk or a ride.
All such thoughtleSs people should be
advised that opening window into a
warm room creates at once a strong
draught, and that to sit in a draught is
almost sure to produce cold. As i'm

avoid it than to take it under such cir

A Look at iowa Lands.

Lancaster, December 81, 1880.
EDITOR HERALD three
weeks ago | went to Iowa TO look
at the farming lands of that state,
stopping first for a short time at
Storm Lake, then going to Ode.
bolt, in Sac county. Sac county is
situated in north western Iowa. The
land is mostly prairie. The Chica.
go & Northwestern Railroad runs
through the southeastern part and
branch from this road, called the
Maple Valley Road, runs directly
through the center of the county.
Odebolt is situated in the center
of Sac county, on the Maple Valley
X. R. The first building was built
in October, 1877, on the extension
OF the railroad up to this place.
From that time the growth of Ode-
bolt was very rapid. Being sur.
rounded by fine prairie land, unsur-
passed in excellence, its business
has been established on firm basis
1t equals in advantages any of the
towns of Grant county. being well
supplied with business houses of oil
descriptions. 1t has two newspa-
pers, both of good size, also two cir
culating libraries. Odebolt from its
central position is the principal
grain market of the county. Dur.
ing last November the amount of
flax received was ii 900 bushels and
f wheat $4,000 bushels. 1t posses,
ses a good steam elevator, and it's
warehouses have storage capacity
of As 900 bushels. AS the land be-
comes more carefully cultivated the
receipts will undoubtedly be largely
increased. The most prominent
manufacturing industry is the steam
fax mill. 1t gives employment to
quite number of men and boys, but
it's chief advantage is that 1T gives
market for their fax straw, which
would otherwise be worthless. That
Odebolt is destined to become 8
place of business and importance Is
beyond dispute. The commercial
transactions of the Odebolt bank
during the past year amounted TO
100000 Although having pop
ulation of only 700, its business
ranks next to Council Bluffs and
Clinton. ltpossesses good churches
and foe school-house, and while
now having many private residen-
ces. many more are being built.
The land around Odebolt and of
all Sac county is prairie, but is nei-
Their too fat nor too rolling, just
sufficient to drain itself. There are
very few streams, but by drilling
very good water is easily obtained.
Wheat and fax this year were very
good, oats not so good. Wheat av-
eraged from 20 to 80, fax 10 to %
oats 30 to 40, and corn 40 to 60
bushels to the acre. The prices fer
the different kinds of grain average
q very little less than here. I'm
proved land ranges from $40 to $50
per acre wild land from SO to SIS,
although there Is very little wild
land TO be had.
l saw quite a number of Grant
couuty's former Inhabitants OUT
there, among them W. W. Field, J.
I. Lickle and brothers, Aupperle
brothers, Fl. and e. McFall, Mead
brothers, Albert Jones, A. l.. Miner.
w. r. Bayman, 81. Kluckhohn, w.
lvey, and many others.
After having seen the fino land of
Sac county and as | thi5k the many
fine opportunities to obtain good
farm there, | have determined to
sell my farm here and try my for
tune farther west.
Yours respectfully,
