HIGH SCHOOL WON.
Defeats Penn College "Preps''
in Dual Meet.

The Penn-High School field meet
was called at $3.50 Friday afternoon
at the fair grounds, after some delay
in getting started owing to the hur-
ried planning of the meet. No special
program or order of events was
given but the judge called off the
events as he thought best.
The high school won with IS points
to 81 for the college. The victory
was quite an agreeable surprise to
the boys as they fully expected to be
beaten.
OF the winners Gatewood and
Baughman probably deserve the most
credit, Gatewood beating the high
school record in the broad jump,
going 1867 and also bringing the
high school hop, step and Jump re-
cord up to 42-3H. Baughmau did
some excellent work in the a mile
and 2 mile bicycle races and wor
both against hard competition.
The meet was gotten up hurridly
and consequently the crowd was mo-
very large but the records were gooC
and the high school boys are greatly
encouraged to try their luck at Grin
nell next week.

ADVISES NEUTRALITY.
Lord PauncefOte Receives from
Secretary Hay n New Nicara-
qua Canal Treaty.

London, May THE press has been
officially notified that Lord Paunce-
fote has received from Secretary Hay
the draft of a new Nicaragua canal
treaty. 1t is understood that it ad-
vises neutrality.
Washington, May TT is learned
from an authoritative source that
before Secretary Hay left here for
the west he had several conferences
with Lord Pauncefote relative to the
basis for another isthmIan canal
treaty, and that an unofficial written
memorandum also was submitted to
Lord PauncefOte on the sub Jet. The
ambassador has made known the gen
eral results of these conversations
and of the memorandum to the au-
thorities in London, and it is doubt
less to this that allusiOn is made in
the London dispatches. 1t is said,
however, that the negotiations are so
tentative and informal that they are
not regarded as an official exchange
or proposition. What they embOdy is
not made known here, though it is
lubN lt NHlNltN an 'Nl''
sitiOn of the views held by United
States senators as to the essential
features which should be included in
n treaty. While this is net a protfer
of a treaty, it conveys to the British
authorities what is considered essen
tial by the senators who control the
ratification of any treaty which will
be made. It also is learned Indirect
" from senators who have been con-
suited that among the chief features
in the negotiations are neutralizing
Of the canal, the United States alone
undertaking to guarantee this neu-
trality and the admission of all ship
ping on an equal basis with that of
the United States.
Although, as stated, these confer
ences and the written memorandum
have been exchanged, it is not eX-
pected that there will be any further
negotiations prior to Lord Paunce-
Totes departure for London, which
occurs on June 5, or during his alb,
sence.

RIDE PROVES FATAL.
Trolley Car Strikes Wagon Filled
with Merrymakers.

New York, May 1S.-0f the 26 young
people who started from College Point,
l.. L., Saturday night on what rs local
ly known as star light" ride, two
were carried home Sunday morning
dead, five are in the hospital, four
were allowed to leave the hospital aft
er having their wounds dressed, and
everyone of the remainder were more
or less bruised. A collision with a
trolley car caused the accident. The
dead are Michael Schneir and Joseph
Pickel. The merrymakers were on
their way to a hotel ten miles away,
where they were to have a dance.
They were all in one wagon, the bot
tom of which had been filed with
straw. 1t was almost midnight when
they reached Distler's hotel, on the
edge of Jamaica. When in front of the
house the driver of the wagon tried
to cross the tracks of trolley line in
front of an approaching car, but the
car struck the rear end of the wagon.
The vehicle was demolished. Pickel
was hurled into the air and fell 80
feet away, his head striking a fire
I-hydrant. Schnier was also thrown
into the air and landed head first on
the macadam pavement. Both died
in a short time. Miss Matte Debovise
sustained a severe confusion of the
chest and hips and was the worst hurt
among the injured. The car itself
was badly wrecked, but none of the
25 passengers was injured. The mo-
torman was arrested, though claiming
to be without blame in the matter.
Trolley Car Runs Away.
New York, May 13.-An open trolley
car, in which were packed about 115
persons, got away from the motor
man near Fort Lee, n. j., and dashed
down Leonia hill. Every person on
the car was bruised, three were seri-
ously hurt and only one of them is
likely to die. Frank Sunstruck, the
| conductor, it is feared, may lose his
life on account of possible internal in
| iuries, and j. f. Robinson and his
wife, of this city, are the two others
| who were seriously burt. The heavily
| loaded car had started down, an in
| cline a quarter of a mile in length
when the motorman lost control. II
was SO fast no one dared to jump off
The road is a winding one. At the
foot of the hill it curves sharply
| When the front trucks hit the curve
| they started around it and made IT,
The rear ones followed part of the
way. The wrench upon the car, how.
ever, as it swung about was so great
that the body was lifted and torn
from the trucks and rolled over and
hit the ground. The passengers were
caught in and under the car and were
piled in a heap.

TEACHERS MEETING.
City Teachers Discuss Topics of Pro-
EessionaI Interest

The last meeting of the city teach
ers for this school year occurred at
the high school Saturday forenoon.
A large number of visitors were

on the different topics. 1t was as

What Constitutes Good School
Discipline-Mrs S. E. Crafty.

of Favorite Prescription and two of
Golden Medical Discovery she was
cured and got out Of bed and was able
to attend to her housework once more"
Doctor PieFce's Favorite Prescription
makes weak womkn strong and sick
women well. 1t establishes regularity,
dries the drains which weaken women,
heals Inflammation and liberation and
cures female weakness. When taken as
a preparative for maternity it promotes
health of body and cheerfulness of
mind. II encourages the appetite, in!
duces refreshing sleep, and when the
hour Of trial comes it makes the baby's
advent practically painless, 1t is the
best tonic for nursing mothers, promot-
ing the flow of the nutritive secretions
and giving the mother strength to give
her child.

even powerless 10 help the sufferer.
One such husband thus relates his ex-
perience:
III take pleasure in writing you to let
you know about your Favorite Prescrip-
tion,'" says Mr.. E. E. Fricke, of Peters
burg Menard Co., Ills, Box :367. "My
wife had been sick nearly all her life,
and after trying everything l could think
of l made up my mind to try Favorite
Prescription l sent to Chicago and got
six bottles, which my wife took, table
spoonful three times a day, until the
baby came. She felt better after taking
the first bottle, and when baby was born
he weighed nine and a half pounds.
To-day he is six months old and weighs
twenty-five pounds. He is as good a
child as any one could wish. The doctor
says he is as healthy as any baby could
be, and also the doctor says your Favor
lite Prescription was the cause of such a
healthy baby. I felt owed you this
much for the good you did my wife and
for my own happiness"
HIS cBETTER HALF"
The reference to the wife as the
ubetter half" is made sometimes half
humorousIy. But in his heart every
man feels that the old phrase expresses
a fact. When the wife is sick the whole
fabric of home totters to its fall. When
the wife is confined to her bed the hus-
band leads half life, life from which
the sunshine and laughter have been
taken away. 1t is not to be wondered
at therefore. that husbands express their
gratitude for the cures which follow the
use of DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.

wife, helpless and miserable, to a wife
who is once more able to Tguide the
house" in health and happiness.
MY wife was afflicted with uterine
trouble for several years." writes Mr..

BAND BUSINESS.
Iowa Brigade Band Decide to
Purchase New Uniforms.

The Iowa Brigade Band held
it's annual business meeting Friday
evening and there was large att
tendance of the members. The an
nual election of officers resulted in
the choice of the following:
Charles s. WalIing, president and
manager.
Frank Tousley, treasurer.
Thomas Hay, secretary.
The business of the past year was
found to be of satisfactory nature.
The receipts for the year were found
to be in excess of the expenditures
and there is balance to the good.
This is what the boys have been
working for now for some time.
They have had in mind the purchase
of new uniforms and they now have
the means in prospect wherewith to
accomplish their object. 1t was de-
cided at last evenings meeting that
the matter should be thoroughly and
carefully investigated and to that
end special committee was appoint
ed consisting of Frank Shoemake,
Will Beckman, Herm Schmitt, @. L.
Farmhouse and Horace Colman.
The financial statement shows that
the expenses of the band for the past
year we're 1854. This leaves bal
ance in the treasury and it is figured
that there will be enough to purchase
the uniforms with what is realized
from extra work now in sight for
this year. Every one was well
pleased with the showing that had
been made and the band enters upon
the season with an enthusiasm and
spirit that has not been equaled in
years.
The band, had intended to make its
appearance in complimentary con-
cert Saturday evening but the weather
was somewhat too chilly. In
any event there will be a concert
next Saturday evening, May IS.

This offer of free consultation by letter
is not to be classed with the spurious
offers of "free medical advice" made by
those who having neither professional
training nor experience are medically
and legally unqualified to give the adj
vice they offer. Although it takes more
than diploma to make a good physi-
clan yet the medical diploma is essen
tial as witnessing to professional study
and training. 1t is we'll for women to
examine into offers of vfree medical
advice" and to ascertain whether the
offer is made by those competent pro-
tesslonally and legally to give medical
advice. Any one can offer vmedical
advice" but such advice from one who
is not medically educated and qualified
IS not only worthless but dangerous.
In little over thirty years DR.. Pierce,
chief consulting physician to the Inva-

The effort of some dealers to sell a
