A manufacturing establishment

to 30 men,is about to resume
operations, soon, after lying idle
two or three years and the Mimi
eapolis Threshing Machine Co.,
have opened up again and are
putting on a force of men to run
the shop to it's full capacity the
conf 'g season. Last year they
were practically close7, doing no
work except repairing. Factories
Of various kinds in the east are
resum1ng operations. All of this
renewed activity is positive in
dication that we are in the era of
the resumption Of business in all
branches,and that better times are
sure to follow and prevail through
out the country.

A bill passed the house last
week reducing the bounty on
wolves to 5 dollars One men,
Der of the house int1mated that
the animals bad been farmed in
his county from the fact that
thousands of dollars were paid
out annually for bounties and only
a couple of female VOLTS we're
killed. Another members sug-
gested the bounty law be repealed
as the animals would be killed in
any event to prevent the destruc-
ton of domestic animals. This
in our opinion would have been a
proper procedure,for the reasons
above given.
Mr.. Shell introduced bill Sat-
urday providing for an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for assisting in the
expense of opening the Okabena
creek for drainage purposes.
Work of this kind is greatly
needed that valuable land may be
utilized for tillage,also for the
preservation of health in
this vicinity. The expense Of
carrying on this work would be- to
large for tho town to assume and
it is but proper and just, that a
portion of it be borne by the state.
The bill would not have been Of

priety in asking for this appro-
priation and we hope to note it's
final passage.

we are delighted to see him made
Secretary of War. It lisa matter of
considerable congratulation to us
that both the President and Secre-

TOO MANY TEACHER S
Trouble Expected at Spring Valley, H.,
Between Rival Factions.
School Board is Divided nnd Each
Faction Has Employed a Full
QuOta of Teachers.

SPRING VALLEY, ILL.,, August 81
Trouble is expected here tomorrow with
the opening of the public schools. Two
sets of teachers have been engaged and
both will attempt to teach. The two fac
tons of the board of education are bunch
ing their respective teachers and each side
expects to be on the ground early tomorrow
morning to see that there is no ilterfer-
ence from the other side. A clash can
hardly be avoided.
The fight among the members of board
Of education dates back to the spring cleo
tion. At that time the Spring Valley Coal
Company. after forcing an issue upon the
school question and being defeated for
seven straight years, was successful Chas
Nee, a holdover member, who previously
trained with the anti-company members
of the board, turned away from the latter
and was given q position OF 80 a month
turning the Illinois river bridge at this
place by the new city administration, which
Tor the hrst time Is controlled by the coal
company.
Nee's accession gave the company a
majority on the board, and they proceeded
TO engage teachers. Later the anti-com-
pany members held meeting. and de-
clared Nee's seat vacant on account of him
moving his family and effects across the
river to Putnam county. This gave the
antl-company members a majority. They
then held a meeting and We're making ar
engagements to hire a new set of teachers
and call an election to fill Nee's seat when
they were stopped from going any further
by an injunction. Saturday Judge Puter-
baGgh of Peoria dissolved the Injunction
ana that night the anti-company members
held a meeting and engaged new set of
teachers.
Last night they held another meeting and
the newly employed teachers were present

engaged by the company members sigre,,

and spent several hours with the republ-
can machine politicians. The senator pro-
poses to do what he can to carry the new
primaries in the city for Mr. Theodore Mar
burg, recently nominated for mayor at the

ference today with Mr. Marburg and sever
al of the latter's managers, and said that
he was confident of Masters defeat on
September o.
Mr.. Wellington evidently has given up his
intention of resfgning the craftsmanship of
the state central committee. He said that
he had not fully decided whether he would
retire or not. but that he had received let
ters from republicans all over the state and
from some of those who opposed him at
Ocean City, requesting him to remain at the
head of the committee. Now that his NOR
tfication over his defeat has subsidized he
apparently has no idea of giving up the
roins
The Marburg men have recovered from
their discouragement of last week and are
displaying considerable energy and conf
dence.
Many Supplee men have gone over, and
the report that 'Marburg has STAYED in his
barrel is creating considerable excitement

The total length of levees on the river
