the detachment was secured. This
plan may also have flaws i'm it, but Il
seems practicable. and furnishes AM
other solution of much yeXed qucs-
ton.
One thing is certain. As long as We
have the penal clause about labor on
our statute book, so long must we look
TO China and Japan for our labor, and
that means that this country will have
to depend upon eNtraneous help; it
will not be raising up any labor of its
own.
On this point Colonel Fisher spoke
very earnestly last Sunday. He con-
sidered that it was the duty of this
country to import people who would
bring up families, and in this the Col
onel is dead right.
If we look at the Portuguese we find
that out of total of $4,000 now in
the country. over 5000 were born here.
This is healthy population, and we
want more of it. 1t is thrifty and in
dustrious. There is also the Southern
Negro. No experiment has yet been
tried with the race, but there is al
most no doubt that it would do well
here, and would raise large families.
This is what we want if we wish to
keep back the Asiatics, and the Ash
attic must be kept back.

NO SNAG.

The House has struck no snag. Rep
resentative Robertson in his speech in
favor of the resolution calling atten-
ton to the endorsement of warrants
of arrest, distinctly disclaimed that
there was any law in the matter. 1t
was simply an expression of opinion.
The Attorney General himself said
that the custom was illegal, but that
it had been handed down by many pre-
vious holders of his office. The House
simply called attention to an illegali-
tv. and it had a perfect right to do So
1t is perfectly true that the Constitu-
ton says: "The Legislature may pass
wholesome laws" but one can find
nothing in the Constitution which for
bids the House from expressing any
opinion that it may see fit.
1t is true that we may have some
curiosities of legal literature before
the session is over" there never was
a House yet in which such specimens
Ulu uOt luuIlSH, DuI holle VI Iht SpSSl-
mems of such literature will be in it be-
side the balderdash produced in the
morning journal. One would think
to read its columns that its editor had
successfully carried on the govern
ments of the earth, as a fact he has
proved a failure from a law Office to
an oyster farm, and rabid writing in
the morning journal shows that he is
an utter failure at that, too.

was considered half-witted sort of
fellow, until in January, 1897, he be-

blow upon his head with stick of cord

A Young Man Found Dead beside
Railway Tracks Under Very
Suspicious circumstance.

Edward Moore, farmland "a years
of age, was found lying dead beside the
Burlington, Cedar Rapids d Northern
railway tracks a mile north of Ely.
Two bullet holes, one through the
heart and another about four inches
below, explain the cause of death,
while 32-caliber revolver lying near
contained two empty shells. The
clothing about the hole over the heart
was burned and powder marked, but
there was no evidence of powder about
the second one. From neither wound
had he bled any, and yet his left hand
and arm was covered with blood. His
overcoat was found near him, torn into
shrcds, with numerous holes in the re-
naming pieces. His watch was gone,
and he had but one penny in his pocket,
although he was known TO always nave
money with him. From this it is be-
lieved he was murdered and had des-
perate struggle with his assailant.
Some things also point to suicide.

was sentenced to ten years In the peni-
Tertiary at hard labor by Judge Bishop
In the district court in Des Moines
and taken to Fort Madison. He was ar
rested about ten days ago for utter
ing forged checks on the East side. His
manner was so daring that the fact
that he was suspected is remarkable.
He gave the name of Anton Richberg,
said he lived in Pittsburgh, Pa, and
pleaded not guilty. Later, when he saw
that 1t would do him no good, he
changed it to guilty, with the evident
hope of leniency.
One thousand blank checks on 100
banks, in 40 different cities In ten
states, were found in his possession.
They were on the banks in New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Missouri, Iowa and Ne
braska. Judge Bishop in sentencing
Hochfield told him that the large num-
Der of blank checks in his possession.
and his daring manner, convinced the
court he was professional, and there
fore leniency could not be expected.
There were two cases for uttering
forged checks; on one the judge gave
him four years and on the other six.

Excitement prevailed in Bussey over

The druggist had recourse to his re-

when Godfrey took advantage of Lyons
and shot at him, but rs it happened the
first shell was blank. Before the Sec

In these cases property owners tried

quarter of the 5000, but the supreme
court, on appeal, decides that the full
years tax must be paid, the business
having been conducted more than half

Another important point decided in
this case is the authority of the board
of supervisors to levy this tax at any

taxes. On this point Justices Granger

Homesteads and Railroad Lands.
The Great Northern Railway owns
large tracts of the best wheat lands
in the world in the Red River Valley
in Northwestern Minnesota which it
offers upon favorable terms as to
price and time at low rate of interest.
The Red River forms the boundry
line between Minnesota and North
Dakota, hence the Red River Valley
is as much in Minnesota as in Dakota,
alternate sections belonging to the
company, the others being retained
by the United State have been
largely taken and improved. Towns,
settlements, villages and highways
with schools, churches and markets
are there for the lucky men who will
become the occupants and owners of
these railroad lands. Besides these
lands that road traverses through
North Dakota, Montana, Idaho and
Washington but owns no lands in
either of them. But along its entire
line west of Dako ta are immense un-
occupied tracts of Government land
subject to homestead entry the best
grazing lands on the continent. Five
years residence and $1s for office fees
secures to an actual settler 100 acres
of this land. These lands for nearly
300 miles lie along the Missouri and
Milk rivers along which the Great
Northern traverses in its course 10
the Pacific. Mr.. Moses Folsom, the
representative of that road and of it's
land interests along its entire route,

future abode, and we think made

who will organize excursions Of land

Peculiar Point of Law.

A point Of law was raised in the dis
trict court in Dubuque that will prob
ably establish a precedent. A case was
begun against NJ. Hollenfelz, and when
defendant made no appearance Attors
ney Keisel, counsel for plaintiff, asked
that judgment by default be awarded
plaintiff. The attorney representing
Hollenfelz objected to this on the
ground that the defendant had filed a
petition under the bankruptcy act In
the federal court. The court sustained
the objection and refused the default,
holding the judgment would be nom
effective against bankrupt.

Concerning Parent Study.

Would not parent study become
profitable if carried on with the same
enthusiasm that has distinguished
the work of child study? Are not the
fathers and mothers of the rising gen.
GRAFTON worth studying on purely
philanthropical grounds? Yet how
how little the average teacher knows
of the homes FROM which the children
come to gain instruction at the so
called "free" public schools.
Would it not be possible for the
teacher to gain some ideas on this
subject and shape her work accord
inglY? If the majority of her pupils
come from the homes of wage workers
and if even small minority live in
dwellings she would dislike to enter,
would it not be as we'll to omit the
monoronous daily suggestions con-
corning diet, dress and home habits,
which are prolific only Of heartache
and suffering to the helpless mother
and often hopeless father?
Where even the slightest acquain-
lance exists between intelligent
parents and the teachers who have
their children in charge good
results are bound to
follow. The interest common to
both is more clearly recognized and
more pe1sistently kept in view, and
the desire of each to aid the other
renders home as we'll as school work
more pleasurable as we'll as more
effective
Acquaintance with parents will SIM
pity child study, and assist material
~ in bringing each individual pupil
nearer to the teacher. The conscious
ness that she is understood will make
her way clearer and enable her to act
more Independently than would
otherwise be possible. Familiarity
with the home environment of the
child will make ner considerate and
kind, firm or lenient, as the case may
require. On the other hand, the
parent who feels that the teachers
interest in a child extends beyond the
school yard and the drawing of q
salary, will endeavor to supplement
school work with home training that
cannot fail of being helpful to the
earnest teacher
The parent is not the natural enemy
of the teacher; neither does the
teacher delight in placing barriers in
the way of home government nor de-
sire to usurp the rightful prerogatives
of parents.
Parent study should, therefor, be.
come feature of school work. Let
it take the place of any one of the
threadbare fads that have been sc
fruitlessly followed, and the benefit
to all concerned will be incalculable
