hero of Tippecanoe.
John Tyler was the first vice presi-
dent in the history of our country who
became president. He was a man of
strong convictions, and though charged
by his enemies with lack of frankness.
was outspoken in his political opinions.
When the vote of the force bill took
place in the senate his was the only
vote recorded against it, and he con-
sistently opposed the Missouri compro-
mise act at time when most southern
men declared in its favor.
His favorite maxim in life was
"Peaceably if we can; forciby if we
must"
Tyler was born in Virginia on March
%, 1870, at Greenway, his fathers coun-
try home, in Charles City county. He
was the second son of Governor John
Tyler, who was himself man of prom
inence in his native state, having been
ginia, speaker of the house of delegates
and governor of the state. The latter
grew up during the stirring days of the
revolution, and when a mere lad was
SO enthusiastic over the cause of free
dom that his father, a staunch old
royalist, often exclaimed with sad
shake of his head: John, you will get
yourself hanged yet" He was educated
at William and Mary college, where his
roommate was Thomas Jefferson, ard
the friendship then formed continued
through life.
President Tyler was taught from his
earliest days to revere and love his ia
theirs friend. The first time Mr.. Jeffer-
2on came to Greenway Governor Tyler
,esired his son, then a small boy, to
give orders for an especially fine din
ner. Now, John cherished besides his
love for Mr.. Jefferson a mighty devo-
ton to plum pudding, so he desired to
regale the guest with his own favor
lite dish. No fashionable hostess ever
felt more anxiety over the success of a
stately function than did our youthful
hero over this dinner AS the time for
dessert grew near the look of anxiety
which he had hitherto worn was re-
placed by one of calm satisfaction and
deepened into beaming approval as the
doors few open to admit two negro
servants, each bearing al0ft an i'm
mense plum pudding. These were
placed with a grand flourish before Mr..
Jefferson and Governor Tyler. The
latter, who had expected little more
variety, turned to his son and said:
1.-TWO plum buildings, John! Two plum
buildings! Why. this is rather ex-
traordinary" Yes. sir" said John
with honest pride, "but"-bowing low
to Mr.. Jefferson-"this is an extraOr-
binary occasion" His admiration for
Mr.. Jefferson land his love for plum
pudding) continued until his death.
Most of the great men of the day WIS.,
tied Governor Tyler's house and John,
who was always characterized by a
habit of close attention, would sit Cor
hours listening to their conversation.
He early exhibited a great degree of
thoughtfulness and fondness for books.
When II years old he. too, went to
William and Mary college, where he
graduated, taking the degree of bache-
lor Of arts. and at the age of 10 was
admitted to the bar. Two years later he
was elected to the state legislature. and
thus began his public career. which
continued almost without interruption

Public School Notes.

The schools are daily increasing in
numbers where desk can be placed
for pupil.
Various articles for school museum
are being collected at the Pleasant
Grove building.
In grade at the Franklin building
are collected large numbers of maps,
railroad guides, excellent lessons from
the DuplicatOr, ETC., which are most
useful in teaching real geography.
The schools were all in session today
and good days work done.
Mrs. Lampert gave a set of Chill
dren's Magazines to the third grade at
the Union school. They are of great
service; we would like more.
Report cards of all pupils have been
sent this week to parents for sigma
ture. These cards tell of the atten-
dance, conduct and proficiency in
their studies.
Many visitors have been in the
schools recently. You are always well
come.

The Andrews Opera Company played

night in spite of the pouring rain and
darkness. 1t was the best entertain
ment ever given here and all were
more than pleased.
Every one is intensely interested in
political matters and while the Nc
Kinley and sound money sentiment
prevails largely, the outcome of the
state and county ticket is hard to pre-
dict. The Lind boom seems to be
rather on the decline just at present.
Amidst all this political excitement,
amuSements and entertainments are
not forgotten and the opera house is
taxed to it's utmost.

A GOOD MEETING.
Gustav DOnaId's Eloquent Address
Thursday Night.

The sound money Democratic meet
ing at Union hall Thursday was at
tended by nearly three hundred men,
last night which was more than could
have been expected, considering the
weather. Mr.. Gustav Donald, the
Davenport editor, gave an eloquent
address, combining himself to the
money question. He spoke in the
German language and held the closest
attention of his hearers for over two
hours. Many of his hearers were sill
yer men, and as the speaker demon
strated how they were in the wrong,
the faith of many was shaken. The
meeting resulted in great good to the
cause of sound money, and the speaker
was frequently interrupted with en-
thusiastic applause.

The Omaha Track Will Very Soon Be
Used.

The trains will be running regularly
over the new Omaha track by Nov.
18th, if the present expectations are
realized. The only thing lacking is
the two depots, but they will be in
readiness. Work on the new passen-
ger depot is going forward more rapid
ly, and force of men were busy there
Sunday. The roof is nearly all slated,
and plastering the interior is under
way.
Work of moving the present freight
office is expected to commence any
morning, and as soon as the streets
dry sufficiently it will surely begin.
Contractor Budde expects that about
ten to fifteen days will be required in
moving the depot, and while this
work is being done, the ticket office
in the old passenger depot will be used
as freight office in connection with
the passenger work.
The riprapping of the fill is going
ahead rapidly, and excellent work is
being done.

CAMILLA URSO.
A Splendid Audience Filled the Opera
House Friday Night.

The initial entertainment in the
Lecture course at the Mankato Thea
tire Friday was grand success
and preSageSI the most successful sea
son in the history of the Citizens
Lecture Course.
The announcement that the far
famed Camilla Urso would open the
course of six entertainments, was
sufficient to fill the theatre to it's limit
with our music loving people, and the
reception accorded the company was
earnest with enthusiasm. Camilla
has lost none of her vigor since her
last appearance in Mankato several
years ago. In fact she appeared at her
best last night, and it seemed that
she never brought forth sweeter music
from her violin.
The singing was fully up to the
standard of the most accomplished
professionals, and each number was
cheered to the echo.
The pianist is superb performer,
and the .Kimball pony grand, which
was loaned for the occasion by agent
Ewing, won a host of friends among
the auditors. This instrument, the
professor who used it last night, said
was one of the finest he had had the
pleasure of using in long time, and
he was very profuse in his praise of it.
Those in charge of the lecture
course may well feel highly fiattered
over the magnificent attendance last
night, and particularly so when the
disagreeable weather is considered.

my children were taken down with
the measles, which left four of them
with very bad coughs. My oldest
daughters case became so alarming
that we feared she would have quick
consumption. Tried many different
medicines, recommended for coughs
and lung complaints, but all to no pur-
pose. One of my neighbors recon-
mended your White Wine. of Tar
Syrup, as one bottle had cured nearly
every man in camp where he worked
of severe colds, and my family com

saw great change for the better and
they did not use the whole of one
bottle before their coughs were cured.

The patriotic residents of Mankato
observed flag day very generally today
by decorating their stores and resi-
dences. The national cOlors came out
all over the city and will remain in
sight until after election day. Big
flags on top of buildings all indicated

Many residences are beautifully
decorated with flags and bunting, and
the entire city has a pretty appearance
if you don't look at the muddy streets
and the leaden sky.
