THE SCHOOL MEETING.
A $4,000 or $4,000 S~hoslhouse for
the HALEY District.

WIG uSIry DIStS'Ct'
At l o'clock this afternoon meet
ing of several of the Inhabitants OF
Haley School District was held in
Oldham's building, for the purpose o!
discussing the ACCESSIBILITY Of issuing
bonds for the purpose of building a
substantial and suitable schoolhouse
in HALEY. J. S. Waters was elected
Chairman, and F. o. Harding Secre.
tary.
The following motion was put be-
fore the meeting and thoroughly dis.
cussed:
RESOLVED, That the Board Of
School Trustees be requested to call
an election of the electors of HALEY
School Distrist, for the purpose Of
voting bonds for constructing and
furnishing q schoolhouse, up to the
amount Of 6 per cent. Of the assessed
valuation.
A vote on the above resolution re.
suited in its unanimous approval.
The Secretary was delegated tc
wait on the Board OF School Trustees
and present this resolution.
All present at the meeting were
unanimously in favor of having q
first class school building erected in
HALEY as speedily as possible.
1t WAS variously estimated that q
building to meet the wants of this
district, for the present and future
will cost in the neighborhood of $15,.
600 or $4,000.
1t was further suggested by the
meeting that room be rented fol
additional uso of the Haley school
and that tax be levied of one-half o!
one per cent. for meeting this and
other school expenses.
The enthusiasm manifested by the
meeting over the subject of . new
school building was something unus'
ual and As those present were repre-
sentative property holders of this dis
trict there is every reason for bel'ev'
inc that this much needed desidera.
tum is practically insured.

An Iowa Girl Who Dares,
From the Iowa Falls Sentinel.

From the Iowa Falls Sentinel
Not many months ago, young lady
walked into our sanctum and applied
for work. Her father was dead. He
had been newspaper man all his life
time and in his Office she had acquired
some Knowledge of types. This girl,
but sixteen years old had started
out against her mothers wish to get
work away from home and help support
the family, for the father had not left
them rich. We admired the bearing,
and confident tone and the honest clear
eyes of that girl. She procured work
in town between here and Cedar Rap
ids. Recently we received q paper with
the name of this young lady at the head
as editress, her mother having purchas-
ed the former paper that her husband
had ownd. In recent issue of the pa
per is the following item:
IF any one WIS to tell you an editress
not thousand miles from Eagle Grove
grasps the handle of her Washington
hand press and pulls off her whole edi-
ton without stopping, in less than three
hours, you wouldn't believe that would
You? Well it's true"
The fair and pluckv editress is Miss
Katie Prehm. of the Eagle Grove Times.
We point her out as Gu example of Iowa's
heroic women, and she deserves great
recognition at the hands of the craft
and of the public. She is one of thou
sands brave, handsome, energetic, hon
est and deserving little woman. May
her edition" sometime require pow
or press worked three hours to finish.

THE GRAND CANON.

six Thousand Feet from the Light Of
What words are to be used, unaided
by pencil or brush, when one seeks to
describe what the canon of the Colorado
river really is? Its magnitude, its
solemnity, the awful depth, the rushing
waters, the towering cliffs, all speak to
us, but we can not speak of them. Man
is dwar ed by nature. abashed by her
grandeur, silenced by the exhibition of
her powers. Imagine the scene. A
yellow-hued stream, rushing like gust
of angered wind along rock. strewn
bed and between line of dark-hued
cliffs. Look upward a thousand feet,
and rocks look angrily down; gaze up
another thousand feet, another, and
still another, and there are the same
dark proved monsters glaring down
upon you and upon the river. Look up
again and now gaze for 5000 feet into
the air toward the heavens, and you can
still see rough edged rocks, all outlined
against the sky, over a mile in height
away, throwing up plnnacles and towers,
and domes and isolated peaks, Clipped
and SCARED, and dark, massive and
irregular. The light of day is iimmed,
the place is full of loud, hoarse roars,
the air is chilled, and the river, dashed
into foaming fury, leaps madly along
its course. Here are shadows that
Rembrandt would have gloried in; here
Dore might have copied nature and
added to his fame. Here is the road to
Dante's sombre halls. One stands
within the very bowels of the earth,
with all light and brightness lost to
view. He sees the work of ages. the
result of q mighty power. The earth is
cleft in twain; it is as though q noun
tain, tall and strong, had been halved by
some sharpened sword. Six thousand
feet of stony depth! Six thousand feet
beneath the light of day! There are no
pleasant smiles of nature to be seen.
No flowers grow, no shrubs appear, no
birds are visible. Dark are the tower.
ing walls, and darker still their shadows,
while the towers take on most uncouth
shapes, and the river runs out OF black.
ness to us and into darkness from us, q
puny monster in comparison with it's
prison, hayward child held in stern
rebuke.
From the tops of the cliffs which
form the Colorado's canon tie river
winding at their base is like strand
of gold. But it needs strong nerve to
look from the great height into the
depths below. Drop q stone md the
splash it would make upon striking the
water could not be seen. Even the
noise the river makes is not audible.
and the stream seems to flow noiselessly
along its dark and rugged course.
Turning from gaze into the canon, and
looking about the country, the deep
rent is seen stretching far away to the
east and west, while in the distance are
tall trees and rocks and bare brown
hills. One questions why the canon
was made and how-whether worn by
the river or formed by volcanic action.
But whatever the cause, it Is strange
freak of nature, rivaIling, with il
grandeurs, all other sights, inviting
comparisons but challenging compe-
tition. All other canons of the wild
Southwest, where rivers delight to wind
in darkened places, sink into insignifi-
canoe when compared to this Of the Ric
Colorado,

Religious Growth in America.
From Demorests Monthly.

4AO" OoAHOA GOV MOuVuly.
The rise and tall of religious creeds
in this country is very interesting as
showing the tendency of things with US.
Since 1860 the Methodists have kept
pace with the growth of population.
Twenty-tour years ago they numbered
$500, 900. To-day they have about
ID, OOO, 600 adherents. The Baptists
have increased from 5000. 900 to about
1900, 900, which shows an increase of
about 30 per cent as to numbers, but a
decrease of % por cent compared to
growth of population. The Presbyteri-
ans now number 100000. against
$500, 900 in 1850, about So per cent in
crease. The Lutherans have increased
SO per cent. The Congregationalists
now number about 800, 900 an increase
of only q per cent, while the popula-
ton has increased Is per cent. The
Episcopalians number 100000, an
increase of 33t per cent in q years.
The Hebrews number about 700, 900 an
increase of 100 per cent in "a years.
The Friends or Quakers show falling
off of 60 per cent, anu now number only
$50, 900 persons. But the most startling
figures of all are those that relate to
the Roman Catholics. In 1860 they
numbered 8, 100000. That church to-
day claims 100000 adherents, gam
of2OO per cent. In fifteen years, should
the same ratio of increase continue,
there will be 25,O0O,OOO Catholics in
this country. No figures are given as
to the skeptics or nonbelievers, but
undoubtedly their numbers have been
very much swollen in the last quarter
of q century. Iii notable fact that
Calvinists. Unitarians and Quakers, as
we'll as the sects with definite creeds,
are rapidly losing ground, while the
ritualistic churches, such as Catholics
and Episcopaliens, and what may be
called the emotional sects, such as
Methodists and Baptists, are either
holding their own or gaining ground.
These changes in what may be called
the spiritual attitude of the nation, will
in time show itself in the very structure
of our institutions.
