Of good crops, but it is now three weeks since
we had ra'n that would wet the ground to
lay the dust, and those crops are beginning to
want rain badly, and if they do not get it in a
few days they will be seriously injured. For
days the clouds have given US hopes that they
would pour out o blessing upon the fields and
gardens, but have disappointed US. They look
now as if they intended to give US plenty of
rain before morning.

A TERRIBLE DEED.

4 Double Murder and Incendiarism by .
Harmlessly Insane Bohemian in Iowa.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, Oct. 23.-One of
he most terrible double tragedies ever
committed in Iowa occurred Thursday
evening near the little village of Sherry
vile, nine miles west of the city. Dur.
ing the absence Of farmer named VERDE
and his family his barn was discovered
to be on fire by Mrs. Joseph Novotny
and Mrs. John Louvar, neighbors of the
Verbas. They arrived on the seen to
lind the barn and granary consumed and
the bones of a horse and forty five head
of cattle and hogs smoking in the ruins.
Fastening to the house, which was also
on fire, they were met by farm hand
named Martin Soukup, and when they at
tempted to enter he struck them both
down with an axe, crushing in their
heads.
BY this time other neighbors arrived,
and an effort was made to capture
Soukup, who fed upstairs, and, axe In
hand, threatened to kill any who ap.
proached. Clay Bowcrson. Ed Thomas
and Will Crowell, young men of the
neighborhood, after a severe struggle,
mastered the murderer and he was taken
TO the ShueyvilIe school-house, bound
and guarded until yesterday, when fears
of lvnching induced the officers to re-
move the prisoner to Iowa City. Soukup
is about fifty years OF age and was
former resident OF Shueyville. About
four years ago he was struck by light
nng and has never fully recovered from
its effects. He was not considered dan
gerous excepting when under the in
iuence of liquor. He was drunk when
the crime was committed.
There was not the slightest cause for
the incendiarism ana murder, as his re-
iations with all the parties had been
pleasant. The two women are still alive
but can not recover. Mrs. Novotny is
about forty years Of age and mother of
large family. Mrs. Louvar Is twenty.
five and has two small children. The
Bohemian citizens threaten to lynch "a.
loon-&eeper Weber for selling whisky ia
Soukup.

draft or post office order sufficient in amount
to pay for the same at the reduced rates

phcit directions for shipment of books.
COUNTY MANAGEMENT.
The board has thought best to leave the
organ cation in the counties to the teachers
of the respective counties. The change to
spond directly with the Secretary Of the State
Board will in no way interfere with those
counties that already organized. The
plan now is to leave teachers free to organ
lie in the manner that seems to them best.
CERTIFICATES.
To those who complete the elementary
course by next summer and stand a satisfac-
tory examination on questions prepared by
the board, conducted by the board or some
one representing it, certificate of gradua-
ton in such course will be issued. Provision
wilt be made for the advanced course later.
The board expects to prepare a neat cata-
Iogue next summer that will give the names
of the members and list of those who COM
plete the regular course.
TO TEACHERS.
1t Is hoped you will take an interest in this
organization. 1t seeks to elevate the teach
ers and their profession, by prescribing
course of stu y that will best fit them for
their work: by securing books at reduced
ia ties. by offer ng advice to methods of
study, and by fixing a standard which you
may attain in common with others engaged
in the same work. All of US do more and
better work when our efforts are organized. |
In organizing Local Circles select pres.-
dent, one or more vice presidents, seer e. |
tary and treasurer. and instructors In the |
different branches of the course Meet at |
stated periods and let the circles be model |
schools or inatitutes.

1t will be seen from the above that those
who take the first year of Elementary Course
pay the membership fee and get the five ex-
celent books at $l.27 less than the books
would cost them: in second year $l.32 less;
and in the Advanced Course $3.50 less. This
Will, of itself, be sufficient to convince the
teachers that it is good for them
to undertake the work. In the Ele-
mentary Course, for a half dozen or
more members the last three books can be
had cheaper. Instea of Sl.3S for the three,
they can be had at 81. 13, express not pre-
paid. Twelve cents added will pay the ex-
press, so that to clubs it will save Is cents
more m aking the total amount of cost to
the first year of Elementary Course $500 in
stead of $2.73. as given above.
