Proceedings In Both Branches OF the
Legislature.


SPRINGFIELD, ILL, June THE sen.
ate Monday night advanced the re,
constructed apportionment bill to q
third reading. At the opening
Of the morning session a protest
signed by Senators Dunlap and
Coon against the action of the
senate in advancing the apportionment
bill was read by the former, and Sena.
tor Green moved to refer the protest
back to the professors for the reason
that it was not couched in respectful
language. After q lengthy wrangle
the motion was carried by vote of 2s
TO 20. The senate adjourned after pass
ing the apportionment bill.

ng t154, 100 for expenses and repairs at
the university at Urbana. Represents
tive Bish asked unanimous consent to
have read resolution condemning the
action of those engaged in the lynching
Of s. A. Bush at Decatur last week.
Objections were made and he was un-
able to have the resolution read and
acted upon.
Word was received in the house that
the new senatorial apportionment
bill had passed the senate and
would at once be reported to the
house. Steps were at once utaken
by the republicans to break a quorum
In the house to prevent the bill from
being read a first time, and as
the democrats did not have full at
tendance of their members the repub-
hcans were able to accomplish their
purpose. AS consequence the rest of
the session was devoted to fruitless roll
calls until finally a recess was taken

YOU'D BETTER CHERISH HIM


There are husbands who are pretty,
There are husbands who are witty,
There are husbands who in public are as
smiling as the morn;
There are husbands who are healthy,
There are husbands who are wealthy,
But the real angelic husband-wen he's
never yet been born.
Some for strength of love are noted,
Who are really so devoted
That whene'er their wives are absent they
are lonesome and forlorn;
And while now and then you'll find one
Who's fairly good and kind one,
Yet the real angelic husband, oh! he's
never yet been born.
So the woman who is mated
To the man who may be rated
As pretty fair, should cherish him forever
and day;
For the real angelic creature,
Perfect, quite, in every feature.
Ee has never been discovered, and he won t
be, so they say.

The school has prospered under his
care, and largely because of his en-
deavors.
Dean Lawrence is about forty-three
years of age and is one of a family Of
seven brothers and sisters. He grad
uated at Harvard in the famous class
of 1871 and afterward prosecuted his
theological studies at the Episcopal
schools at Andover and Philadelphia,
taking his last year at Cambridge In
1875. He married a granddaughter of
Bishop Parker, and they have three
daughters and one son. The family
lives at the deanery of the theological
school and has a summer house at Bar
Harbor.
The election of Dean Lawrence is
essentially a victory for the broad
churchmen, and it is expected that he
will conduct the affairs of his diocese
on the lines laid down by the late
Bishop Brooks during his short but
brilliant episcopate. There was con-
siderable discussion at the convention
about the insufficiency of the bishops
| salary, which is not a stated amount,
but the income, whatever it may be, of

was $1,000. Some vigorous endeavors
will be made to increase the fund.

FINE CROP PRosPECTs.-Then nation
al department of agriculture, the state
weather service, the men who travel
over Iowa, and the newspapers in the
different parts of the state all agree that
the crop prospects are exceptionally
fine. The cold, wet weather of early
May hasnot retarded the growing crops,
and 1t has not kept back seeding and
planting to the extent predicted few
weeks ago. In comparison with 1892
Iowa farmers are away ahead. This is
particularly true of the corn crop,
which in the northern part of the state
is well in the ground. The acreage this
year viii also be much larger than the
past season. All the signs continue to
point to prosperous year for Iowa.

Ne Friends 1:

My Friends:
By the appreciated and gracious cour'
tesy of the board of education, to me
has fallen the difficult task Of present
ing an address on this occasion; diff
cult, as it follows the able and instructed
efforts of several of our distinguished
fellow-citizens, deeply Versed in scho
lastic attainments and in the practiced
art of oratOry. II am no orator, as
Brutus is" but If you bear with me
kindly, in brevity / shall try to present
some thoughts, suggested by the occs,
sion, and which shall touch
THE PUBLIC SCHOOL
in some of its phazes. No institution
created by our civil law SO quickly re-
sponded to effort and judgment, and sc
successfully, as the common school sys
tenn of Iowa. Many are here who clearly
remember the first legislative steps
taken to make certain the proffer to al
who would, the sure benefits of sub
stantial education, irrespective of color
sex or condition. 1t early found liberal
and most generous friendship with al
the people. The enemy of the public
school was the enemy of public veal
Educational progress had only to sug
gest needs, and the town meeting gave
them and with unstinted hand.
THE GREAT TRUST
of management under the wise laws
enacted, was taken up by thousands OF
men, moved only by the one common
impulse of making the school system
the best that could be evolved from
careful judgment and wise and costly
experience. For years these men have
given of their time most literally and
administering the expenditure of mil
lions of money without one penny's
personal compensation, and doing il
with an unselfishness and an honesty
forever a credit to the business man
hood of this great State. In the local
and general sense these men can indeed
take an honored pride in the work that
is presented by them State wide. 1t has
called from them the hearts best hope
the brains best judgment, and days
and nights of application and labor
little counted for by the great mass
who enjoy the resultant benefits of this
broadly wise and generous labor.
AS to the successes of the public
schools, they are many and self-evident
1t is needless to enlarge upon them
they speak for themselves.
But, is the educational structure per
feet? Are there not some things which
might be done to add additional glory
to the system? Long and loud shall
be my shouts for that which has come
out of the present system, and here is tC
the hope for other and better things
yet to follow. What are they? Here
are some suggestive queries.

Romero, of Iberia and Maud S.,
belonging to Mr.. Adolphe Prejean,
of Carencro, the Iberia horse win
ming, the distance being "A arces.
In the afternoon the same horses
ran 10 acres, resulting in the victory
of Mr.. Prejean's mare. Owing to
the admission price being 50 cents
the attendance was not very large.
The admission price is usually IS
cents and great many people re-
fused to pay more. Mr.. Broussard,
the proprietor of the track, had
nothing to do with the admission fee
as he had rented the track to par
ties from Iberia.
