power in this city, 1 heard, the other
day, curious story. lt WILL perhaps
De remembered that year or 80 ago
there was great scandal raised be-
cause the tunnel which Was 10 give
Washington It's suppOrt was found 10 be
Tor the purposes for which L was n-
tended. The papers took the matter
up and the result was the officer in
charge OF the work was court-mart.aled
Tor nls negligence IN allowing the
Tinted states 10 be cheated by a set OF
dishonest contractors.
But now comes the curiouspart Of the
story. The idea OF the tunnel
Was conceived by a young
engineer officer some years ago
who Was then on duty in this city. He
thought If the idea Was carried out he
would bc appointed 10 superlntend its
construction and tbs would give hYm a
very pleasant assignment for some
years TO come. He married q lady who
was supposed by some people 10 be an
artist, at any rate she made certain
members of Congress believe in her
artistic powers, and the Government
bought some OF her works of art" for
a round sum. The plan OF the tunnel
was condemned by every officer nigh in
authority, and it was pointed out at the
time that the work was of such ma
ture that il would be almost impossible
TOR the officers IN charge to prevent
fraud. But the romOnstrances were of
no avail; the plan was approved by
Congress, large appropriations were
made for the work, and the officer who
had had the audaclty 10 conceive the
scheme was placed IN charge. He re-
manned here several years and was
then relieved and sent South 10 take
charge OF 4 Government work. And
although there was great fuss raised
about the way IN which the Govern
ment had been swindled, the man who
was really responsible tor the whole af-
fair gets Off without q single word of
blame. A. VI. L.

Now looking at this matter in 2 gen
eral way it would seem that the state IN
which we live were highly favored bv
Nature as to a water supply. We are
nearly surrounded by great lakes. We
number within our boarders some 5000
smaller lakes. The surf;>e Of our
State is coursed by numer Nls streams,
If bv no mighty rivers. he soil and

state is full OF watSI-aud although
that may not be tb@ reason why IT has

schools Took I'm d

The school house flag was flung to
the breezes Monday morning and then
the bell was rung and then the streets
were full of children and then every
body knew that school had begun.
Somehow we are always glad when
school begins. 1t is pleasant to see
the flag floating all the time, pleasant
to hear the bell, calling and dismiss
ing, greeting and goodbye, pleasant
to see the bright-eyed children over
flowing the sidewalks on their way to
and from their homes, and chatteriDg
about their classes and their grades.
And it is pleasant, too, to know that
our schools are growing all the time.
1t is really surprising how our school
population keeps on Increasing, out of
all proportion to our general popula-
ton. When the new school house was
built, i'm 1885, the population of lola
was 1,616 and the school population
was $50. Eight teachers were all
that were needed then aud it was
thought that the new building would
furnish all the room needed for at
least ten years. Now the population
of the cityis I ,666 and the school popu-
lation T2l while Il teachers are en-
ployed and one entire grade has been
crowded out of the building. 1t Is re-
markable.
Everything has started off well this
week and the wheels are already run
ming smoothly. The following notes,
kindly furnished by Prof. Whitehill,
will doubtless be read with interest.

first primary grade, enrolled 35 pu-
pills. Miss Mollle White, first primary,

Died: At the home Of his brothel
In lola, at 8 o'clock p. m, Monday
September Is, 1890, Jasper Patterson
in the 9th year of his age.
4 1t has been long time since a death
occurred in our midst which occasion
ed such genuine and universal sorrow
as tine one above announced. Coming
among US from his Ohio home three
years ago to enter into business with
his brother, Jasper Patterson has been
80 much q gentleman, so cordial and
courteous always, so attentive to busi-
ness, SO upright In all his dealings
and so blameless I'm his life that he
had endeared himself to scores of
friends, who find 1t hard indeed to
give him up. And even those who
knew him slightly lament that one
who was so strong and vigorous and
gave promise of q long and useful
life, should be stricken down when
his day had but fairly begun. The
sympathy of the entire community
will 20 out in full measure to the
brother and sister whose hearts, al
ready torn and bleeding from the
death Of mother, giust be 0verwhelm-
ed with this new loss. Mere words,
however heartfelt and sincere, can
hardly be aught but empty aud mean
ingless at such an hour and In the
presence of such grief as theirs. And
yet it must comfort them to know that
the soul of him who is gone before was
eft and seasoned for its passage, THAT
Sustained and soothed by an unfai-
terlng trust" he entered upon his last
sleep "as one who wraps the drapery
of his couch about him and lies down
TO pleasant Dreams" He Is beyond
the reach now. and forevernnore, Of the
cares and griefs that crowd into even
the happiest life and make it ut times
a weary burden. And he leaves be-
hind him pleasant memory and q
spotless name.
The funeral services were held in
NJ. E.C Church at 10 o'clock ON wednes-
day morning, Rev. A s. Freed officia-
ting. The church was filled to over
flowing, business I'm the town being
practically suspended during the SER
vices. The remains were taken to the
cemetery at Geneva and inferred in
the family lot.

dent of Douglas county reported a

much good work done among the col

The convention closed with q con-
test for the gold medal. The medal
was awarded Miss Chenowetb, Of OF
