When Lee Hardy took charge of the
water works he overhauled the plant
and made report very hattering to the
work of his predecessor. He said in
part: ''Tke boilers are clean and
| Tree from mud or scale, and show that
they have had careful and competent
| attention. The brick work in and
around the boilers needs some slight
| repairing. The piping in the plant
is getting rusted and weak in places
and will need TO be replaced by new
| from time to time. The pumps are in
| very good condition considering the
length of time they have run: the
| valves in the water ends will need re-
facing after this summers pumping,
but this can be done by the engineer
! with little. if any, expense to the city.
| r ,e mains are nearly all in good con-
dition but many of the smaller con-
nections are badly rusted and will
| need repairing this season."

Iowa City. Nov. 16.-The election Of
Chancellor Emlin McClain to the office
of supreme judge Of Iowa creates a va
cancy in the law college of the univer-
sity. Emlin McClain as chancellor raised
the standard Of the law college to that
of the best in the country, but his res
ignation will leave q vacancy to be filled
by the best lawyer and teacher that
Iowa can afford. The chancellorship Of
the law college Is an eminent position
and one that requires the best legal tall
ent o%btainable.
The board Of regents is deluged with
applications for the position, nearly
every law institution in the country
having a candidate for the place. Sew
eral lawyers who have made national
regulations are also standing for the
place. Among the many names pre-
sented for the place is that OF Attorney
General Milton Remley, who leaves his
Office in the state house the first day OF
January. Those who ARE acquainted
with the status OF affairs in the race for
the chancellorship state that Mr.. Rem
ley is making a strong for the place.
Judge Wade 10 also mentioned as one OF
the chief applicants, but as yet has not
announced his candidacy.

Washington. Nov. 16.-Minister WI
Ting Fang says that he regards 1t as
an established fact that the Chinese
are the di~scoverers Of America.
The celebrated Chinaman talked for
half IN hour with a newspaper repre-
sentative on this subject. He asserted
that all his information on the subject
led him to feel certain that the an
cestors Of his W people landed in
America in centuries past. built temples
and left such traces of their handicraft
as to render absolutely beyond denial
the assumption that they We're on the.

deniable facts tending to this conclu-
sion.
Il am aware that eminent men OF all
nations have a share in the claim that
the Chinese, either by accident of storm
or by intention, We're carried from our
country to the then strange land OF the
far west. / do not know that n par
"ticular man headed an expedition to this
continent from China, but all signs
point to the t%ruthfulness Of this opin-
ion.
II would like to call attention
to a TACT which may or may not
ben generally known by your peo-
pie. For centuries 1t has been re-
ported that Chinese boats have been
driven to the shores of Alaska, and even
on the coast farther south. There is no
denying that Chinese junks have been
found in a partially dismantled condi-
ton on the Pacific coast within our
memory. It is fair to presume that my
ancestors met with the same fortunes
while at sea. and that they, too. were
carried by currents and winds far to the
east, and OF necessitp were landed on
the coast OF this continent.
IT know that evidences OF the Chinese
have been found In Mexico and Califor-
MIA, and can point to different authori-
ties on archaeology to bear me out in
this assertion"
Minister WI takes 1t for an acknowl-
edged fact that his countrymen were
cast upon American shores ages ago.
and there'is no disputing the authori-
ties. he says, on this point.

Union, Nov. 16.-The ordinarily quiet
village Of Union is considerably stirred
up at present over a circumstance that
occurred in the public schools, when a
pupil was numerically beaten at the
hands Of a lady teacher and 80 badly
hurt that he had to be taken from school
and be placed under the care OF a phy-
sician.
Az a result Of the circumstances the
school board has .seen fit to discharge
the teacher, Mise Clark, and the princi-
pal of the schools. Mr.. Curtis. Senti-
ment is divided as to whether the pun
ishment was At all warranted, but opin-
ion seems to prevail generally that II 1t
We're, less severe measures should have
been taken.
Howard Watson, aged about is years.
a. pupil in the intermediate grade and a
son of Mr.. Ed Watson, one Of the most
prominent business men of Union. was
the boy who suffered at the hands of the
teacher and principal. Naturally the
boy is mischfevous, like many another
boy, and likes fun with his eseons For
some ~infraction of the rules Miss Clark,
his teacher. saw fit to punish him, and
used a relic of barbarous days in the
shape of a rawhide whip. h gave the
boy ten ashes across the back when, it
is alleged, Principal Curtis came upon
the scene and ordered the teacher to,
give him ten more. The boy, 1t is
claimed, threw up his hands to defend
himself at what he deemed was rank In
Justice, whereupon 1t Is alleged Priuci-
pal Curtis choked him until he a up
on the verge OF being blue in the face.
1t is also claimed that SO severe was the
principals grasp that when the lad las
examined by the board and a physician
the finger prints still showed upon his
throat. His back was barred to allow
the board to gee the effects of the beat
ing he had received, and it was found
that the flesh gave evidence Of great
weits having been raised.
The boys father took him from school
after he learned of the punishment and
the board was called together to investi-
gate the case. All the members. in
Guiding a doctor, concluded that such
punishment a nothing less than
shameful and barbarous. and forthwith
a meeting was called. at which 1t was
determined to ask the designations of
both Principal Curtis and Miss Clark.
Friends of the principal and teacher
have tried to smother the case as far as
1T is concerned locally.
Mr.. Curtis vas principal OF the schools
here last year and, altno he has been
considered by some as severe in his rul-
ings he wae not thought to be at all viz
cious. He was principal of the Conrad
schools prior to coming here. He origi-
nally came from Monticello. Miss Clark
