Mrs. Ford Closes Her Trio OF Lee
lures With One on American Art.
The last lecture in the series given by
Mrs. Mary Hanford Ford was Saturday;
afternoon. when her subject was Char.
of American Art Turnout
all the wornen's clubs there has been a
.reawakened interes in art the past few
years, and tho early art has been stud
led more frequently, the women are de-
sirous to know something of the work
of their own land. 1t may have been
a surprise to many present to know
what a high place American art is
taking. Anumber of the more promi-
nent artists We're touched on and their.
characteristics brought out. The fact
that foreigners are surprised our lack
of what they call a national school Of
painting was explained lin a logical way.
The countries of Eprore are small and
conditions are similar amongs all their
people. but in America all varieties of
land and humans are to be found. so
that a scene from the coast of Maine
will be as different from one on the
shore of California as prairie of the
great middle West is from the tropical
beauty Of the south.
One of the most interesting things
Mrs. Ford told was concerning stained
glass. That made in America is the only
good stained glass today and the only
work that is worth mention. since the
beautiful results of the artists of the
thirteenth century John LeFarge is
the one who has brought this artistic
honor to his land. altho Tiffany. becorn-
ing acquainted with his secrets. has Won
most OF the honor. and money as we'll.
The Spinning Wheel Chapter, d. "A.
r., under whose auspices Mrs. Ford
came, feel greatly encouraged over the
patronage accorded and altho they can
not tell how much they have cleared un-
til after the close OF their business meet
ing, held late this afternoon, they viii
have quite a cum to spend for pictures
for the public schools.

osKALoosAIs SORE.
Herald Thinks the Smallpox Reports
From That city Are Exaggerated.


The Oskaloosa Herald makes it APP
pear as if the feeling in that city was
very bitter against the world in gem
eral on account of the reports that
have gained circulation over the num-
Der of smallpox cases in that city. The
paper says: The Oskaloosa CORE
spondent to several outside papers who
sent out such sensational reports con-
corning smallpox in Oskaloosa ought to
be quarantined. There are only twelve
suspicious cases in Oskaloosa, none of
which are serious, while Marshalltown
has over twenty, Ottumwa the same
number and Des Moines over sixty
cases. The disease is prevalent all
over Iowa, and why Oskaloosa should
be made to bear the brunt of the trou-
BILE is more than we can understand.
Yellow journalism is worse than SMALL
pox.'''
The Oskaloosa paper will probably be
called down on Its comparison, as OF
tumwa has already done, the Press OF
that city claiming that there has not
been one case Of the disease in that
city this year. As far as Marshalltown
u concerned, the Herald is again mis-
taken, for the guarantees existing
here now could be counted on the fin-
gers OF one hand. Whatever the dis
ease IL. call It SMALLPOX. Cuban itch g

q week or two old Wild stories were
told about Marshalltown the hrst week
or so after the first cases appeared
here. but when people saw that it was
not to be feared they got over their
scare as quickly as they were to be
in the first place. Oskaloosa
has been unfortunate in the fact
that the disease broke out in
its leading hotel-a similar con-
dition that existed at Clinton-which
made the fact of the presence Ct the
scourge more prominent.

THE DYING STATEMENT.
Triplett protested his innocence to the
last. even tho he had pleaded guilty,
and on his person after his death was
found written in small memorandum
book the following message:
II do this because / am innocent and
can't go to the prison. Don't plane my
wife and Myrtle. You people had ought
not to had made me plead guilty. for l

E "A LONG LOOKED FOR LETTER.
All day Saturday Triplett was in a
stew and very nervous over not receiv-
ing certain letter-from whom. how
ever. he did not state. Every mail de-
livery was watched with eager eyes by
the prisoner and when the last one
came and there was nothing for him he
seemed more respondent than ever.
This letter. from his wife, was taken
from the postofice this morning, it
not having been mailed until Z o'clock

The Census and Persons Away From Home
During Juue.

The Census and Persons Away From Home
During JuSe.
The count OF the people in the United
States will begin in all. parts of the coun-
try June i and ends in the cities two
weeks iatef and IN the rest of the coun-
try before the close Of the ,mqqqRth; The
people are to be counted at their places
of residence, but as many persons and
families will be away from their homes
during June, there is some danger that
such persons will not be counted. Ifthey
are not counted, the locality in which
they live will be misrepresented to that
extent, and in some cases this misrepre-
sentation may be enough to affect the
representation in Congress IF Athhs State
from which they come. Local pride and
state pride, therefore, should influence all
such absentees to take reasonable pre-
cautions against being omitted from
enumeration in their places of residence.
Such omissions are most likely to occur
in the large cities where families close
their homes and go elsewhere for the
summer. The occurrence OF the Paris
exposition this. year is likely to increase
the number absent from the country.
In all cases Of contemplated absence
the head OF the family y requested by
the Census Office to communicate With
the supervisor of the district i9 which he
lives. He is also requested to leave ip=
formation regarding his answers to- the
questions which are to be asked with
some responsible neighbor who will agree
to see that it reaches the enumerator on
his rounds. Such information might bet.
ter be left as a memorandum in writing,
g in that case it is less likely to be over
looked, The questions to which answers
are desired apply primarily to all farms
and manufacturing establishments, They
are being published from time to time IN
the press Of the country. +
Bytaking this trouble the absent citi.
zengwill do justice to his locality and his
state, and materially aid the Census
Officer in the performance of his duties.

know the names If persons appointedga as
