very much pleased with the work Of the
Distinguished historian. He seems to
have completed his task with conscien-

and copious marginal notes greatly fa-
cilitate the study OF our country's his
tory. l find that all the disputed points
of history are treated with fairness and
honesty. The author gives due credit
to all the discoveries and explorers. He
imputes no bad or sor1id motives, but
leaves the student OF history to form
his own conclusions from the facts pre-
sented. 1t is In this candid spirit that
history should be written. Mr.. Ellis

The school board met Friday night. in
the Marshailtown State Bank parlors,
as a committee of the whole. all the
members being present excepting Mr..
Hull. The matter of janitors came up.
Mr.. Henry White was selected az jani-3
tor of the Woodbury. building, providing
he cares to accept 1t, otherwise the po-
sition will be rendered Mr.. j. w. Cook.
Both of these men are experienced en-
gineers and that was considered on ac-
count of the fact that experience in
steam is needed by those who care for
the large buildings
The janitors We're instructed today to
begin the work of cleaning up Monday,
with the exception OF the Arnold and
Arson buildings. In the Arnold the
work will begin just as soon as the ma
sons are thru. The Arson school Will
not be completed in time for the open
ing OF school,. and not perhaps until.
about two weeks afterward. The first
two weeks of the term will be taught
lin two rooms of the old building. So
far the janitor for the Arson building
has not been selected. In the Arnold
school 1T was decided to calsomine all
the rooms.

Mr.. Leutennegger's loss and pay the
money due him for the cattle, but some

that this is not the first time he has
been in trouble and that his mother and
other relatives are not disposed 10 fur

cate that. AIcKitrick knew what he was
doing and that he deliberately planned
the deal, as he came to the city and told
Mr.. Leutennegger a Week ago that he
would soon have some cattle to d. spose
of. He then went to Mr.. Capron. pur-

The Tama club is probably the best

Members Of the club say the Marshall.

played against this year. Up TO the

There was an entire absence OF

We're treated very courteously by the
Tama club and the citizens. In this
connection 1t will be interesting to
know that both these clubs had trouble

Italian Goes FREQ After second
Hearing, This Time at Quarry.
Joe Rio, one of the trio of Italians en-
gagged III the shooting ARRAY several
weeks ago. was given a hearing Friday
afternoon before Justice Roark at
Quarry. After hearing the evidence
and the arguments the justice dis
charged Rio. The Italian was first
tried before Justice Burritts on charge
Of assault with intent to kill in the
shooting Of Joe Seine with a shotgun.
He was discharged, but the county au-s
.thorities. desiring to bring the matter
10 the attention of the grand jury, re-
arrested him on charge of assault and
battery, with the idea Of holding him
thirty days, or until after the grand
jury meets. The defendants attorney
insisted that as Rio had once been
tried for this same offense and ac-
quilted that he could not be held, and
the justice took this view Of the case.
1t lis probable that Rios case will go be-
fore the grand jury anyway.

mean nothing to the modern weather
man, who has treated US TO modern

1t was unfortunate thatsthe necessity
arose for the pos,ponement of the old

the association thought they We're sagl-
ing for the best interests of all con-
scerned, 1t now appears to have been a
rather unfortunate conclusion on their
part. The country people commenced
to come ostown about noon. and there
We're at least 1000 people on the
grounds. Others would have been there
had they not been advised OF the post
sponement. Those who gathered at the
Soldiers Home made the best. of the

ments for the trip Of Admiral and Mrs.
Dewey and party to this city. It was
Professionally decided that the admlral's
private car would leave Washington on
the 1880 a. m. Baltimore & Ohio train
on February q, thus timing the arrival
here at 1880 p. m. Chairman Garvin
will communicate with Admiral Dewey
and ascertain his wishes. 1T Is possible
he will decide to come on the train
leaving Washington at midnight, and
arriving at Wheeling at o'clock in the
afternoon. II the latter train Is taken
the admiral would come via Pittsburgh;
by the first train, va Grafton.
1t is probable that lieutenant Dodd-
ridge, who Is In command Of the Tor
pedo boat TaIboton the Norfolk station,
will arrange to come on to Wheeling
with the Dewey party.
1t has been suggested that both Ad-
mlral Dewey and Lieutenant Doddridge
occupy carriages near the head of the
parade, in order that thousands of peo-
pie WHIP viii never be able to get within
haIllng distance Of either the review
ing stand or speaking stand, may be
enabled to have at least a glimpse of
the distinguished naval men. II this
plan is followed, the admiral and Lieu
tenant Doddridge would leave the line
upon arriving at the reviewing stand
lat the Mcclure corner and take their
places for reviewing the column.
Grand Marshal White is having his
troubles. All sorts Of communications
and requests are pouring in upon him.
but his lnvariable response is that he is
making no promises. A Pittsburgh or
ganization wrote that 1T would come If
given the right Of line. request that

ganization wanted assurances that the
