Some idea of the way manufacturers
take advantage Of q protective tariff
can be gained from an item discovered
by the congressional committee on ma

found that the armor plate manufac-
turers Of this country furnish Russia
with that material for $500 per ton, but
charge the United States, which has
levied duty of nearly 100 per cent on
foreign impOrtations, $500 per ton for
the same material. In this case does
the foreigner pay the tax?

a change of venue from Grant town.
ship.
Mr.. Kemp had bought a hog from
Harding, it being one of two almost
alike. One of them was lame and il
was understood that the sound one was
Kemps. When he came for the animal
Harding claimed the lame one had re.
covered and that the one Kemp had
purchased was then lame.
Kemp refused to accept the lame hog
and replevined the sound one. This
led to the suit which occupied the whole
day and a goodly portion of the night
After being out an hour the jury re,
turned a verdict for the plaintiff, Mr.
Kemp.
A great many witnesses were subpoe
naed on both sides. The costs in the
case will amount to Sl50, besides attor
ney fees, etc.

The Public School Question.

The community should be any thing
but proud of the complaisance which
has permitted the old school building
to disgrace our district up to the pre-
sent day. 1t is not creditable to either
our wisdom or our good business Judge
ment that only an absolute necessity
has called forth an earnest considera-
ton of our school facilities. That an
appropriation must be made for increas-
ing these facilities is no longer a matter
Of question or argument. Now that it
is brought to the attention of the peo-
pie it is but matter of time, and a
short time at that before the bond issue
will be carried. 1t will be a public
calamity if it does not carry to-
morrow. When we consider that the
entire cost of putting up the building
and paying off the bonds, interest and
all will be but four dollars year on a
net valuation of one thousand dollars,
to each tax payer, we fail to under
stand why any person should not en-
Enthusiastically endorse the project.
We cannot bring ourselves to believe
that any mother, knowing the danger
her children incur i'm so many ways by
the retention of the old building, will
for moment hesitate about voting for
the bond issue. Every woman of the
district over tWenty-One wears of a0e is
entitled to vote on this matter, and we
trust sincerely that the gentler sex will
utilize the opportunity of advancing the
cause of progress and good sense.

Teachers Meeting.

The Teachers Meeting convened at
Calmar Saturday morning, and about
40 were in attendance.
On motion Supt. Haugen was made
permanent CHAIRMAN. The remainder
of the forenoon was then spent i'm dis
cussion of the question "How to bring
our schools i'm closer sympathy with
the People" This was led by Prof.
Parks, who brought up several ways in
which it might be accomplished. He
was followed by Supt. Haugen and
Prof. Houck. Miss Eta Aye and Miss
Uhley also called attention to the moral
work OF teacher i'm building an up
right character for pupils. After few
rousing remarks by Prof. Coffeen the
meeting adjourned till the afternoon.
Considerable time was devoted to the
discussion of "Where are we at or
Where we should be at? And how to
get there" opened by Prof. Clark of
Ossian. Among those that brought up
several new and interesting remarks on
this subject were Prof. StinsOn, OfFree-
port and Prof. Dempsey, of TT. Akin
son. After this, Miss Lundgren gave
number of excellent answers to the
question. Why am teacher? Miss
HeadingtOn was then called upon to
introduce the subject of Synthetic work.
On account of the violent rain no pro-
gram was carried out i'm the evening.
Those present were royallys enter
tanned by the people of Calmar, and the
meeting was very profitable one.

The Reservoir Leaked.

The city water for over week past
has been supplied by direct pressure
from the pumping station, while the
city reservoir has been renovated and
recoated with cement. While inves-
tigating and repairing different leak
ages the city council deemed it wise
to empty the reservoir and examine it.
They found that water flowed into il
from behind the wallsin great quantity,
as the water i'm the reservoir was no
higher than that i'm the surrounding
earth, and the coating was not thick
enough to render it impervious to the
outside water. 1t will be ready for
use again in few days.
