of the superior intellectual power

met the plea, that u%neducated men
frequently acquire more wealth than
the educated, by giving it as the re-
suit of his observation that wealth is

than an end and be does not meas
ure his ucces by the amount hoar-
ded up. His thoughts and conse-
quently his conversation are higher
and his enjoyments greater than
they could have been without the
college training. The most success
full lawyer, doctor and minister had
his training in the college and the
college-bred tramp is a curiosity by
reason of his scarcity. The best
literary and scientific men have had
college training and the primary
school with the more advanced
grades have felt their influence. We
owe our advancement in civilization
largely to inventions, and they are
the result Of the discoveries ofscien-
tifc and natural laws which are
largely the products of college-bred
brains.

Commissioner Main desires us to
announce that owing to the bitter
feeling that has been manifested be-
tween the parties interested in the
construction of a bridge across the
Sioux river either east of here or at
the Richland Mill, be has decided
not to build one at either place at
present. The commissioners OF
Plymouth county have appropriated
$500. for q bridge across the Sioux
river but have not specified any site
and do not care which Of the two
sites is used, but will not help to
pay for more than one. The right
Of way from Westfeld to Richland
is mostly clear and parties owning
land where said road would pass
and there is now no road, have
promised to donate a right Of way.
East Of this city the right of way
will have to be bought On both sides
of the river. Business men of Rich
land oppose a bridge east of here
and those interested in this city op-
pose ono there. There is not
enough money to build both and
hence this dicision.
