the company VIII by no means be a picnic,
as Captain Stearns is one of the greatest
enthusiasts in all matters pertaining to
the advancement of the National Guard of
the State, and will insist on a strict per-
formance of duty while in camp; although
a bit of a martinez still the captain is in
direct touch with his men, and fully
possesses their confidence and esteem,
and it is largely his personal influence
and thoroughness at drill that has
made the constant demand for admitance
into the ranks of the company by out
siders. There is never a night that ap-
plications are not received for member

those who fail to fill the requirements of
the service are dispensed with with short

SCHOOL MAN SUICIDES

Tragic EndeOf q Former Candidate for
Superintendent In Rock Island.
Each time that Rock Island has in
the past two yesrs been in the field
for a candidate for superintendent Of
schools, Iowa has furnished the bulk
of the applicants. Indeed it seemed
that that there was hardly a cross
road town in that state that did not
have its candidate. Among those
who applied a little over Il year ago
when the choice was made was Prof.
g. P. Rogers, of Marshalltown. Prof.
Rogers ended his life in most tragic
manner Saturday, as told by the fol-
lowing Marshalltown dispatch.
This city was shocked today when
it was learned that Prof. c. P.
Rogers, one of Iowa's leading educa-
tors and who had been superintend-
ent of the Marshalltown public
schools for % years. bad ended his
life by suicide. He was found hang
ing in his barn by his wife just be-
fore noon. and she Immediately cut
the rope and tried to resuscitate him,
but her efforts were unavailing. Mr..
Rogers had been respondent ever
since last spring. when a school
board was elected which was opposed
20 him, and which forced his re.ig-
nation. Since then he has APP
piled for positions in several leading
schools of this and other states, and
he declared only a few days ago
that his opponents here were follow

marching Through Georgia." and
carried an Anticipated eagle. 1t was a
bitter pill to swallow. but what could
the poor boys do? The GRO d marched
around awhile and then proceeded to
the scene of the Second ward flag
raising.
Judge J. p. Hand, of Cam bridge,
made the principal address: and it
was republican in sentiment from
start to finish, especially in SO far as
it pertaired to the common people,
which the grand old party" only
cares for once every four years: then
some stump speaker forgets himself
and begins scoring everyone that
lsbors for living. That's what
Judge Hand did; that is, all those
who work and say they will not fol-
low the Mckinley kite. Judge Hand
called them tramps and anarchists,
and ridiculed them in most caustic
terms; said Bryan was the ex-champ-
ion of keep-off the-Grass Coxey and
Hobo Carl Brown, aud also took
rap at Gov Altgeld. The republican
managers bad better instruct such as
Judge Hand to modify their compsri-
sons or it will be hard to even pur-
chase votes in November. Adair

ABSOLUTELY PURE

IN the next Assembly, the Silver con.
ventlon honored one of the most en-
terprising men in the county. His
integrity and uprightness Of charac.
ter are household words wherever he
il known. Largely engaged in ranch
ing and stockraising, and knowing
how heavily the burdens of taxation
fall upon the agricultural classes, he
could be depended upon to oppose
any measures that would impose I'M
Just and unnecessary burdens upon
the people Of the State. The same
good judgment that he exhibits in the
management of his private affairs
would be his guide on the floor of the
Assembly.
Mr.. Smiley, though a former Re-
publican, is an enthusiastic supporter
OF Bryan and Sewall. He favors the
free coinage of silver because he
believes in the justice Of the cause.
Like his colleague, Mr.. Clayton, he is
pledged to cast his vote for the re-
election OF Senat Jones.
Mr.. Smiley has lived many years
Ill this county and, so far as this
writer knows, his life has been above
reproach. He Is an enterprising,
wide-awake citizen who would do
honor to his constituents on the floor
of the Assembly. He deserves the
support of tie voters at the ballot
box and should receive an overwhelm-
ing vote ON election day.
The Silver convention chose ex-
Assemblyman j. H. Weiland for tho
remaining place IN the Legislative
ticket. He was a member OF the last
legislature and has had experience in
making laws for the government Of
the State. He, like his colleagues, is
a true-blue silver man and pledged to
vote for Senator Jones. He is 90 we'll
known to the people Of the country
that he needs no introduction at our
hands.
Mr.. Weiland is an energetic go
ahead man and will make it very live
ly for his opponents on election day.
His experience as a member of the
last legislature would give him a
st snding or the floor of the Assembly
that new member could not attain.
He is well posted in the needs of the
State and believes in economy in pub
lie expenditures. His interests are
all in Nevada and in protecting tie III
he would protect his constituents.
Don't forget him whom you msrkyour
