SHAW STARTS FOR WASHINGTON.
Summoned by the President to Consider
Cabinet Position.

DEs MONIES, Dec. 24.-Gov. Shaw
left for Washington at 9 o'clock last
night over the Northwestern. Special
dispatches from Washington and Asso-
ciated Press reports leave no doubt
that he has been called there by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to consider the PROPOSE
tion OF taking place in the cabinet to
succeed Lyman J. Gage as the head of
the treasury department.
The reports of a tender of this posi-
tion to Governor Shaw were irst circu-
lated late yesterday afternoon. They
were received with general incredulity
in political circles. Governor Shaw,
while at his Office in the state house,
informed inquirers that he knew moth
ing of the matter and that no informa
tion had come to him save through ru-
mors. At his apartments at the
Victoria al O'Clock last evening, in
response to the question whether he
had received any overtures from Wash.
ington in reference to the secretary.
ship of the treasury, Governor Shaw
said:
II know nothing OF the tender of a
cabinet position to myself save what
have seen in the papers and through
rumors. I do not know whether it is
true, but;think if it were true / woulC
be informed of it directly"
Nevertheless, Governor Shaw lef
the city at 9 o'clock, and it was learned
by inquiry at his apartments that hi.
destination was Washington.

" AND B VGRADE
Central Building-Ge French
In preparing report of these grades
one looks somewhat in vain for the
flowery side OF education. The fourth
and fifth GRADES begin series of drills
which may be uninteresting to the
casual observer yet they are the neces-
sary essentials for finished work.
There must be the correct form of
possessives, the proper use of those
verbs we too often hear interchanged
and the placing of quotation marks
Then the business and friendly letters
the composition and stories and diff
ferent parts of speech must be written
and mastered.
In geography we have become ac-
quainted with the five races of men
their country, homes and peculiarities
We learn more each day how we as
one brotherhood are dependent upon
each other even our black brothers
and sisters for the necessaries of life.
The A ~ class is at present studing
in a simple macner the beginning and
development OF the United States.
| On entering our room almost any
morning after the ringing of the bell
you will find tongues, pencils and paper
busy with arithmetic. One class has
studied long division, factoring and
cancellation. These are hard subjects
and are still claiminga share of each
arithmetic period In the higher
grade the subject of fractions has oc-
cupied the whole terms work.
The writing has been mostly form
work. The general lesson period is
the time when tension is less and we
can now freely express ourselves. Be-
sides some work in physiology we have
studied authors. Eugene Field was
our favorite in the autumn. His life
and childish poems were reviewed and
Little Boy Blue" learned. Later
came the assassination of the president
calling forth study of the lives of
Lincoln and Garfield. Thanksgiving
brought forth the Pilgrim days and
customs and now old winter is upon US
with It's tiresides, myths and legends.
Denison will be we'll represented at
the State Teachers Association in Des-
Moines during the holiday vacation.
The Following teachers will attend:
Misses Haskins, Smell, Austin, Leptien
Kelly, Raine, Allison. Robinson. Mrs.
Ainsworth and Prin Blair and Super
intendent Savage. Miss King expects

The services over all that was mortal
of Mrs. j. Fred Meyers were held at
the home on Friday afternoon. The
services were of a private character in
fulfillment of the often expressed wish
of the deceased. Many kind and low
ing friends sent beautiful flowers as
tokens of their love for her and we
thank them all from the bottom of our
hearts. In the presence only of the
members of the family and few of
those whom she had known and loved
in life, the simple service was con-
Quoted. Rev. E. M. Holmes read from
the Scriptures and offered a prayer
filed with words of comfort and the
blessed promises which the Lord has
given to those who believe in Him.
Mrs. H. A. Boyle sang in her sweet
voice, MY Faith Looks Up to Thee, ;"
which was mothers favorite among all
the beautiful hymns of the church
Rev. A. G. Martyr spoke briefly OF
mothers life as Christian and of her
place in the affections of the commun-
ity. The occasion is too sad and too
ever present in our minds to be dwelt
upon. After the last sad partings had
been said the mortal part was tenderly
carried to the cemetery and laid to rest
close by the side of the husband and
father who preceded her but such few
short years. The pall-bearers were
Carl F, Kuehnle, E. Gulick, J. P. Con.
ner, D. o. Johnson M. E. Jones, j. Fl.
Mahoney, E. F. Tucker and Chas.
Bullock. We feel that we cannot toe
deeply express our thanks to the help
full and sympathetic friends who did all
in their power both to show their af
fection for the departed and to be ar
ever present comfort in time of grief.

WASHINGTON, March "a delega-
ton from the Illinois Manufacturers
Association, headed by Martin d. Mad
den, had an important interview with
the President concerning the counter
vailing duty on Russian sugars. They
placed before the President arguments
to show that the discrimination against
Russian sugars might seriously iniure
our export trade to Russia if retalia-
tory measures were insisted upon, and
that a general trade war against the
United States might arise. The Presi-
dent expressed hope that no such war
should be precipitated, but explained
that the law was plain. He suggested
that the only solution of the question
would be a test case such as was con-
templated by Secretary Gage when he
issued the order imposing the counter
vailing duty.

Special to the Register.
AKRON, O., March GA romantic
marriage took place in police court
this morning. Alexander Hartman
and Mary Kerst, only six months from
Hungary, were principals in the affair
and they were married at the instiga-
ton of Mayor Young. Some trouble
in which the woman appeared in police
court as a witness brought out that
she and Hartman had been living to-
gether as man and wife, although not
married.
Further questioning developed the
fact that for a year previous to their
coming to this country Miss Kerst had
been enlisted in the army in Hungary
dressed in mems clothes SO she cnuld
be near Hartman, who had been her
sweetheart for years
When their terms of enlistment ex-
pired they came to this country and
lived as man and wife, not recognizing
the necessity of complying with the
marriage laws.
They claimed that they would have
been married in Hungary but for the
fact that Hartman is a Jew and Miss
Kerst a Catholic.

With Callers Upon the President.
VIII be No CIoture This Session.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-The
White House was fairly overrun with
visitors to-day. Thousands of those
who were here to attend the inaugu-
ration crowded the grounds and all
day they clamored at the doors of the
mansion for admission. However, the
doors were closed to all except delega-
tions and others who had arranged in
advance to be received. The Lincoln
club, of Toledo, Ohio, known as the
Rail Splitters," and the Minneapolis
Flambeau club, were received in the
east parlor by the President and
Bishop Arnett and the executive coun-
Gil OF the Southern Baptist church
(oolored), were received in the room
adjoining the cabinet chamber. They
presented the President an address
making a plea for the appointment of
colored officers in the army.
Many congressman who are about to
leave for their homes, called to bid
the President good bye and several of
the leading Republican senator's saw
him for a short time. The latter
seemed to be generally of the opinion
that the extraordinary session of the
Senate would not last over ten days
and that no cloture rule would be
adopted.

one of the organizers of the Ameri-

til yesterday president of the American

tor or trustee. Mr.. Searles'liabilities.
it is believed, will reach about $780,
coo, and are covered by his assets,
which, however, are mainly unlisted
stocks. and are therefore not readily
marketable or of a negotiable charac-
ter. If not pressed by his creditors and
sufficient time is granted, assignee
Dwight expects to be able to pay MI.
Searles' obligations in full.
