The Latest Scheme to Get Supply OF
the Ardent.
s-AsoN CRY, Iowa, Oct. 29.-In so1ao Of
the smaller towns and cities of Iowa nlnny
novel and original methods Of evading the
prohibition law have been invented, but tho
most satisfactory as we'll as the latest sian
devised is that of the conversion of express
offices into saloons. Intoxicating drinks
are sent over the roads to small towns adj
dressed TO Frank james, or some other
fictitious person. The express agent, who
is in the scheme, takes charge of the pack
age until some thirsty Individual comes
along and calls for it, giving, of course,
the proper name, and, if necessary, being
identified.
1t is impossible to say how many towns
are supplied with this class Of saloons, but
the plan has been very widely adopted, and
vast amount of whisky is sold in this
way.

Editor Telegraph Courier:
The first teachers meeting for til
present school year was held at Grant
Corners, Saturday, Oct 9th.
The teachers present we're: Mise
Goldsworthy, Sears, Snyder Schaffer
Patterson, Blackmar, Kirwin, Epson
Nellie Epson and Marsh; Messrs. Dial
rymple, Orvis, Justin Orvis, Sabin
Gull, Burch, Toben, Toner, Costello anc
Browne,
The meeting was called to order By
Supt Mlddlecamp about 10 o'clock.
Reports were given by the teachers
present concerning the condition Of
their schools and the work being done
IN them. Most Of the reports were
quite rablc, and there is prospect
OF excellent work this year. Several Of
the teachers gave good reports of aid
they are receiving from tbs district
board, by having useful apparatus fur
nlshed them; others are hoping for
these helps in the future.
Following these reports was an ex-
erclse on Constitutional Amendments
conducted by the Superintendent. Sew
eral teachers took part in the discussion
as to The manner in which amendments
may be made, and also concerning the
history of the amendments which have
been added to the United States and
State Constitutions.
When the subject of Teachers inset.
lngs Tor this year was brought up, til,
sentiment expressed was that mucl
benefit was received from the meeting
last year, and we shall be glad to follow
the same general plan this season.
Several requests were made by teach
ers to have topics, in which they fel
some special interes', presented at
meeting in the near future.
a few minutes were then spent in
talking of the Teachers Library, afle
which the meeting took an intermissio,

with singing. Miss Eddy played the
organ, and the teachers joined with
some of Miss Goldsworthy's pupils in a
familiar song
Miss Goldsworthy then conducted
class exercise in Reading with seven
members Of her Fourth Reader class.
The exercise was the more interesting
because the class had not previously re-
cited the lesson read. The phonic drill
was excellent, showing a thorough
knowledge of and ability to use correct
ly the sounds of the English language.
The whole exc else was very interesting
and suggestive.
MIR. Dalrymple next conducted most
instructive exercise on the Eye. Sew
eral points were discussed with ANNA
ton, and the wonderful mechanism of
that most useful organ carefully treat
ed; but there was too much of interest
in the topic to allow all to be touched
within the allotted time.
The remainder of the time was spent
In discussing the Objects Of Study.
Some of the objects mentioned were
mental drill, requirement of knowledge
and moral training.
The meeting then adjourned to meet
at the call of the Superintendent.

The ordinances of Rock Island per
tanning TO shows prescribes that the
license shall be not less than $50 nor
more than 300. the matter being within
the discretion of the mayor. Saturday
Agent Cockerell, representing a whale
exhibition, came over to take out Il
license to exhibit his attraction, but the
mayor fixed the license so high that he
decided to exhibit in Davenport, and he
let contract to j. p. Williamson, the
carpenter, to build him one thousand feet
of platform in that city. If Mayor
Blandlng had been more moderate in his
charges the city might have had the benz
eft of $50 at least, which is great deal
better than nothing at all. When Bars
NUNS agent came over Thursday he said
he would have kept shy of Rock Island
had not the contracts already been made
Mayor Banding charged the show $40.
The city gains nothing by such proceed
Ings. Better get something than nothing,
and the practice has heretofore been to
fix the rate at the lowest limit-$50-
which is plenty.
