Forty Children Drown.

Brussels, Dec. 22.-Upward OF forty
school children were drowned to-day
in an ice accident at Freylinghem,
near the French frontier. The chill
dren of the district had been given a
holiday with permission to play on
the frozen river Lys. When the mer-
riment was at full height the ice broke
suddenly and the children disappear
ed. A few were rescued half dead, but
the majority were drowned. Thirty
six bodies have been recovered, but
Others are still missing.
The catastrophe spread consterna-
ton throughout the town, where
nearly every family suffered loss.

Governor Sends Letter to Legislators
Regarding Special Session.

Regarding Special Session.
Jefferson City, Mo-. Dec. 24.-Gov.
Stephens to-day sent out the follow
ing letter to the members of the leg
islature regarding his proposed call
for an extra session of the legisla-
ture:
Dec. %, 1S99.-My Dear Sir: In
my inaugural address, in my bien-
NAL message to the fortieth general
assembly, and in a special message
to that body, urged strongly the
enactment of a law providing for the
taxation of franchises of the state
the act OF hegeneral assembly known
as the 'Julian law" having been held
defective by the courts, but the prin-
ciple which the bill was intended to
embody is unquestionably right. l
had reason to believe that a large
majority of the members of the late
assembly agreed with me upon the
Importance of this legislation, but
the session came to a close and moth
ing was accomplished.
| will not reiterate my reasons for
the advocacy of this measure. but
write to solicit an expression OF your
views, with any suggestions you may
see fit to offer, upon the subject of an
extra session of the Legislature for
the sole purpose of securing the en-
actment of franchise law.
The demand for the law comes
from every section of the state, but
before | make up my mind as to what
my duty is will want to hear from
you.
! The subject is one OF vital impor-
lance to the tax payers OF the state.
1t has, | believe, been proven that il
is impossible to get a law on the sub,
iect which will be of real value at a
regular session. At call session,
with the one subject to legislate up
on, am under the impression that
we should be able to procure an en-
actment which will prove of great
benefit to the people. If we do not
get it then We may never.
There is no reason why the session
should be protracted or costly
one, for the necessary business should
be disposed of in twenty days. Still
| il we are successful. the cost would be-
trifiing compared to the benefits &C
cruing therefrom. If called, in my
Judgment, it should be done at once
Prease favor me with an early re
ply Yours Sincerely,
| LON Y. STEPHENS. Governor

War Over. LawtOu Killed.
New York News.

New York News.
4 Major general of the United
States forces was killed Yesterday
within Is miles of Manila. The press
dispatches say that he was standing
in front of his troops and received a
shot in the breast, dying immediate
ly. A Filipino sharp shooter had
picked him off. He was gallant
soldier, and died like hero, with his
face to the foe.
The president and his advisers
have contended for some weeks that
there is no foe; that the instruction
has been suppressed and that only a
few detached bands of hostiles are
operating as guerrillasin theinterior.
Fifteen miles from Manila is not the
interior and San Mateo il not the
woods. 1t is a fortified town occu-
pied at Last accounts by the insur-
gents, and the death of Lawton
proves that it is strongly defended.
Otis, who is invariably outside the
zone of fire, will probably see no evil
dence of war in this incident, and he
is just as likely to report the end of
hostilities as he is the death of his
subordinate. But the American peo-
pie can scarcely fail to see now that
many of the stories concerning
the disruption of Aguinaldo's
followers have been made of whole
cloth, in order to influence republi-
can United States senators who are
opposed to McKinley's jungle war.

Stephens PardOns Three Men.

Jefferson City, Dec. 25.-The Christ

1,5Oo pounds of ginger cakes, $50
pounds OF butter, 800 gallons Of co..
fee. six barrels of -four and fifty BUSH

Gov. Stephens pardoned three long
term convicts. They were Patrick
Murphy and Albert Stacy, white, and
James Basket, negro. Murphy
came from St. Louis in 1893 under
sentence of thirty years for assault.
Stacy came from Howell county in
December 1890, under sentence of
twenty years for murder in the sec
ond degree, and Basket was sent
from Audrain county in March, 1891
for thirty years for assault.
The pardons were delivered by Gov.
Stephens in person and he gave the
men some good advice when he lib

Prof. Kent on Newspapers.

Prof. Kent, who recently conducted
the Farmers Institute he re, in.s.speak-
ing of the country newspaper of Iowa,
said that in his opinion their principal
weakness was that they did not more of
them contain page devoted to agri-
culture. He argued that as farming
is the principal industry of our people
that newspaper is not complete with
out department devoted to that
industry
That is the professors opinion. We
think he is thoroughly familiar with
farming from both practical and
scientific standpoint, but we doubt if
he has given much study to newspaper
management. We contend that the
province of a country newspaper is to
furnish on it's pages those matters of
news that most affect the people of it's
locality, and perhaps TO comment on
subjects upon which the public is in
terested. We think creating depart
meuts in country newspaper is not
adding strength to it.
We admit that farming is the leading
industry of Iowa and that most of the
readers of our country newspapers are
either directly or Indirectly dependent
on the success of that industry. But
there are papers in Iowa devoted to
agriculture that so far exceed in ability
and completeness any thing that a
country newspaper can produce in that
line, that the product of the latter
would be insignificant enough to pro-
woke ridicule.
The farming communities deserve
more attention in the way of news
matters than they usually get in the
country papers because news matters
away out in the country are sometimes
hard to procure. Subjects in which
the farmers are interested deserve full
space and attention in the newspaper,
not as an agricultural paper, but as a
newspaper. But the purely agricul-
tural themes upon which the writer
must have technical and extended prac-
teal knowledge, had better be reserved
only for specialists in that line. When
the great agricultural papers Of the
state can be procured for fifty cents a
year it is useless for the local papers
to undertake to enter their field.

And so II goes. The Press at Marshalltown,
at one time the pride and ambition OF Charlie
Beverly, has been turned into the hands OF the
sheriff to;satisfy the demands of the creditors
1t isn't long ago that it was regarded as a
formidable competitor of the Times Republican.
But there was no substance under the claims
made for it, and poor Beverly was driven to
suicide by the weight of trouble 1t imposed on
him. We know Of no place more resourceful in
. experience than the newspaper field. Expert
eace comes high from such source, but it is Of
pronounced type when 1t comes, and 1t always
comes. The practical lesson is, that there are
too many papers in the country.-Carroll
Herald.
Which recalls to us the fact that just
before we came to Audubon Mr.. Bever-
ly, who was an old friend of ours, wrote
us several letters requesting us to
come to Marshalltown and buy an in
terest in his Statesman-Press, and take
either the editorial or business manage
ment. He thought there was abundant
opportunity there, but he needed more
capital to develop it and he needle |
help in the exacting duties of the
business. But we preferred a bust
ness of less responsibilities, and less
risk, even if of less possibilities. We
didn't want to be in the daily tread
mill. Poor Beverly fell by the way
side. His burden was greater than he
could bear. His ambition was equal
to it, but his strength was not.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inHamed coli
dition of the mucous lining of the
eustachlan tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases ont of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an intiamed condition Of the mu.
cous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrll)

Hon. Sam M. Clark, of Keokuk, is
being talked of for the presidency of the
State University. 1t is the fad to go
away to the east, or to some remote
place to select college president, and
get some one that Iowa people do not
know. We believe in elevating one of
our own men to that place if we have
one we'll enough qualified. We sup
pose that successfully conducting the
chief executive office of great univer-
sity requires experience. College adj
ministration is like other business
administration, the more you know
about the business the better you can
do it. Sam Clark is one of Iowa's
grandest citizens and most profound
scholars. AS literary man and as a
philosophic thinker it is doubtful if he
has an equal in Iowa. He is qualified
for almost any political Office but we
do not know whether he is qualified to
serve as university president or not,
but there are other men in Iowa who
are qualified.

Extracts From the Presidents Boston
Speech.

No imperial designs lurk in the
American mind. They are alien to
American sentiment, thought and pur-
pose.
Our priceless principles undergo no
change under tropical sun.
Many who were impatient for the
conflict year ago, were the first to
cry against the far reaching conse-
quences of their own act.
Congress can declare war but a
higher power DEGREES it's bounds and
fixes it's relations and responsibilities.
Our concern was not for territory, OF
trade or empire, but for the people
who without our willing it had been
put in our hands.
Every present obligation has been
met and fulfilled in the expulsion of
Spanish sovereignty from the Philip
pine Islands.

There are men now who object to the
enactment of decent army bill, claim
ing the administration wants to build
up strong military power They
pretend to fear that Mckinley or some
other ambitious man would use the
army as French leaders have some
times used theirs, to subvert their
government. Some of our democratic
exchanges talk that way. They are
trying to create prejudice, to arouse
opposition to the administration for
political purposes. If they were more
patriots than partisans they would do
nothing of the kind. They remember
we found ourselves weak enough one
year ago when war broke on us, and
now with such great responsibilities on
our hands as that war has left us, no
patriotic citizen will object to the
provision for a sufficient army to pro-
perly protect the positions we have
assumed.
