SECRETARY THIRTY-THREE
YEARS.
TWaterloo Reporter.1

waterloo Reporter.l
The announced retirement of Lewis
Lichty as secretary of the school board
of East Waterloo calls to mind that he
has probably given more of his time to
the public in that capacity than any
other man in Iowa. Mr.. Lichty was
first elected to the school board in 1866.
and he has served continuously in one
way or another for thirty-three years.
In 1871 he was elected secretary of the
board. and has performed the duties of
that office ever since. Despite the long
years of unrewarded labor Mr.. Lichty
has toiled increasingly for the good of
the schools, and his efforts have been
so highly appreciated that the board is
10th to have him refuse the reelection
III would be pleased to extend. The
|Ackley Photograph mentions the fact
that S. Bloch has just been reelected
secretary of the board there for the
twenty-sevcnth consecutive time, and
expresses the opinion that he is the
oldest school secretary in Iowa from
the standpoint of consecutive service.
Mr.. Lichty's record is q little longer
than Mr.. Bloch's. though the formers
retirement will allow the latter to
equal the service if he is faithful and

Pupils of Conservatory of Music En-
tertained Their Friends.

Pupils of Conservatory of Music En-
tertained Their Friends.
The Savannah Conservatory of Music
gave a recital complimentary TO its pupils
and friends at the conservatory hall last
night Despite the inclement weather
there was quite a large attendance, and
each number on the programme was re-
ceived with applause that was gratifying
to the faculty of the conservatory and
most complimentary 10 their gifted and
talented young pupils.
A really very excellent feature was the
recitation of Our Folks" by Master
Herman Lang. The selection was a pa
thetic tale of a soldiers depressed feeling
and endurance of suffering, well put to-
gether and in Itself interesting. AS in
terpreted by Master Lang it received an
additional charm and a clearer emphasis.
Sigmunds Love Song" a piano solo,
by Miss Kittie Prosser, was another ex-
celIent number, that showed the training
through which Miss Prosser had gone. and
the profit that she had received from her
instruction. For a Dreams Sake" a
vocal SOLO by Miss Bessie Gleason was
exquisitely rendered and received with
such hearty applause that Miss Gleason
had to respond with an encore. Her
voice, sweet ana Dtdutlluiiy Houutdleny
was never heard to greater advantage.
Master Harry Bullard rendered a violin
selection, Poet and Peasant" in man
ner that would have done credit to an old
performer, and which in a boy of his
years and with only five months instruc~
ton on the instrument was really re-
markable.
Altogether the concert was one of the
most successful and enjoyable of the Sc
ries that have been given during the win
ter by Prof. Mehrtens and the faculty of
the conservatory. despite the fact that
the weather kept some of the performers
at home, and necessitated curtalling the
programme
For a few of her friends who stayed
after the conclusion of the programme,
Mrs. Mehrtens consented TO play some Sc
lections from Chopin and List, among
them Chopin's exquisite Berceuse. II is
probable that these selections viii be the
last that she will play in public in Sa-
vannah, as on Saturday she leaves for
an extended visit to Carlsbad and Berlin.
When she leaves Savannah will lose for
a time one of the most gifted artistes that
have ever made this city their home.

Moses Williams, wounded by Mum
gin DOwIes at Burroughs, Likely
to Die.
Moses Williams, a young negro man, is
at the Georgia Infirmary in a precarlous
condition, with death likely to eusue at
almost any moment as the result of a
shooting scrape at Burroughs station on
last Saturday night. His assailant has
not been captured.
Williams came to Silverberg's store at
the station on the night of the shooting
for the purpose of settling his account,
and, having done so. asked the proprie-
tor TO return his pistol, which he had left
at the store for safe-keepiug. The pistol
was handed across the counter, and Mum
gin Bowles, a negro who was standing
near, asked Williams 10 lend it to him
for the night. The request was refused
Williams saying that he was going home
and that he needed the pistol fer protec-
ton.
Bowles finally prevailed upon the owner
of the pistol 10 allow him TO examine il,
and as soon as he had it in his possession
turned 10 Williams and saying that he
wanted to kiln him an along and empha-
sizing the declaration with an oath shot
him in the left breast. The badly wounded
man staggered out of the store and across
country to his home, while a number of
spectators stood around and did nothing.
After shooting Williams, Bowles crossed
over 10 an ice cream stand and shot Ii TO
pieces and then coolly walked away He is
in hiding somewhere In the neighborhood
of Burroughs at the present time. Will
liams was brought to Savannah and placed
in the inllrmary
