SEEKERS AFTER hoTORIETY.

| In a recent lecture the president of
the University of Minnesota referred to
and deprecated the tendency of certain
| educationalists toward bizarre theories
| and sensational breaks" calculated to
draw attention to and win notoriety for
themselves. He condemned in strong
terms this method of advertising and
questioned the ability and sincerity Of
those who take advantage of such
means to bring themselves before the
public.
Since that historical incendiary con-
ceived scheme of Immortality to be
achieved by firing, the temple of Ephe-
his name with it's destruction he has
rot lacked for imitators. The greed for
being noticed, the thirst for fame,
makes the wise famous, fools notorious
and the wicked infamous. This desire
for distinction properly directed may
make its possessor president of the
United States. Perverted it may drive
it's slave to the public assassination of
this same president. College professors
who attract by peculiar and perverted
theories belong to a grade intermediate
between these extremes. The educator
who attacks the existing order of law
or morals to attract public attention to
himself or students to his institution is
always and properly an object of sus-
picion to those who have children to
educate and a direct menace to the well
fare of the college or university where
he is employed. Iowa carried Heron
as a handicap and sigh of relief went
up from the friends of the college when |
he was removed from the faculty. Trigg, |
Pearson, ct i'd onlne genus, detract in
stead of add to the worth and value
of their universities. The community
at large consider them dangerous. |
These men do no great or lasting harm
either to the cause of education or
morals. Their time is usually short in
the schools or colleges where their
meteoric careers begin and end The
public finds them out and like Heron /
they drift into that oblivion which is
for the wicked or the fool.

LOCKER ON in IOWA.
For the Times Republican.

Chaplin, June 17.-In these days OF
get rich quick schemes, when mining
stocks and oil stocks are absolute free,
given to us with nothing to pay till
they pan OUT or "gush," it is no Won
der so many disinterested individuals
are sitting up nights to figure out plans,
whereby we the dear people can get
something for nothing, or so near 1t as
not to be mentioned, only dollar. The
writer was handed the other day let
ter and printed matter, which explains
a new plan for buying all kinds of
goods cheaper than the other fellow.
Probably many of the readers of the
T.-R. have received similar documents.
But why let such a great and glorious
scheme be confined to the few So here's
the whole business. And as this con-
Germ is doing business confidentially,
name and address is omitted. Notice
how kindly they feel towards you:
DEAR FRIEND
THE high prices that are now prevail
ing in all lines of merchandise make
our proposition especially good at this
time Clothing is high; household
goods are high; almost all dry goods
are high; and they seem to be going
higher.
I'VE desire to make known to you
plan, by which you can obtain a cash
discount from your merchants, during
the year commencing July 1, 1902, and
each year thereafter.
I'VE will not ask you to go to some
far distant city for it either; you will
get it from the merchants in your To-
cality, who are members of this Assoc
citation.
The plan is this: We issue to you
a card good for one year, numbered and
made out in your name, and addressed
to all members of the Association. Upon
presentation of this card to a mer-
chant-member when You make a pur-
chase, you will receive a cash discount
On the amount of your purchase This
card is good at any members store,
wherever you may be.
THE Association is highly COM
mended by both merchants and buyers.
We endeavor to have on our lists only
those merchants whose business stand

country by driving to Malcolm and COM
| ing by train from there. The change in
the Montezuna service is very provok-
| ing to those who have business to
| transact in either Grinnell or Monte
yuma and the one train day plan will
never be satisfactory to either town.
The train now leaves Grinnell and re-
turns in the forenoon, starting from
here at o'clock. The State Center
branch has been rescheduled so that the
train which goes to State Center and
Van Cleve in the morning will leave at
IL instead of s as formerly.
The Grinnell office of the Central has
petitioned the road to build a baggage
room in shed form to extend from the
Central door to the present room on the
north of the Rock Island door on the
west more than doubling the baggage
capacity and allowing any baggage
which is merely for transfer to be left
on the trucks under the shed and max
ing it unnecessary to handle the stuff
here.
The presidents house is being re-
modelled in many respects, about $4,000
being voted by the college trustees for
repairs. The house will be reprinted
and in every way improved. DR.. and
Mrs. Bradley Will remain in Grinnell
until the Goth and return here about the
middle of August.
The plans for the water system have
undergone no new developments. The
matter is in the hands of the subscrip-
tons committee at present. It is de-
sired before any plans or estimates are
secured to find out how much money is
available for the water system and then
to govern the further action of the
company which will construct the
plant accordingly. 1t is probable that
the necessary amount will be easily
raised and the plant constructed dur
ing the present season altho nothing is
certain yet. Fourteen or fifteen thou
sand dollars are necessary to do the
work and put in the plant
The location southwest of the city has
been practically decided upon for sew
eral reasons. The valley in this loca-
ton is much narrower and the reservoir
which will have to be built will be
much deeper and cover less ground
area wasting less water by the seepage.
The land moreover is much less valua-
bic southwest of the city than north of
1t and because the valley is deeper and
the reservoir will not cover so large an
area the amount of land necessary will
be reduced

charged it with cruelties. 1t is the same
old story of fire-in-t he-rear which the
boys in blue endured during the civil
war. and as dastardly as all such eff
forts are. There are some honorable
exceptions among such leaders, and the
T.-R. refers with pleasure to one re-
cent expression from a democratic
member of the house. While some of
the democratic senators We're in New
York city the other day making over
lures to leaders of Tammany for sup
port of anti-imperialism. Congressman
Mcclellan (son of Gen. George B. Nc
Clellan) was speaking at Tammany
hall in defense of our soldiers in the
Philippines. In the course of his re-
marks he said:
"No matter what may be the cause
of the war in the Philippines, no mat
ter who may have been responsible for
existing conditions. both parties are
united in believing that the army must
be upheld in the work that has been
beforesit."
This vast greeted by enthusiastic
applause, showing that Tammany at
heart is inclined to approve of such
loyal sentiments, and yet it grated
alarshly on the ears of the anti -imperi-
alst group, which, however sincere its
patriotism, devotes it's energies to
searching for cause of complaint
against American soldiers as a part of
the program to stop the completion of
their work and secure an utter change
of national policy. Mr.. Mcclellan pro-
ceeded:
"There may have been, and I fear
there have been, acts of cruelty COM

These Are the Factories Marshalltown Wants
Ready to Assist Any of Them.
and She Is
Breakfast Foods Factory.

Breakfast Foods Factory.
We produce in largest quantities all
the great grains, corn, wheat, oats,
rye, and should be the home Of such
industries.
Broom Factory.
We raise the broom corn; finest quail
ity, greatest quantity. The natural
place of the manufacture of brooms
for the millions.
Stove Factory.
The success of Marshalltown's fur
mace industry demonstrates that our
field would suit the stove business.
The Dakotas, Minnesota, Nebraska
and the western states must all be
kept warm.
Machine Shops.
The two large shops here are frH Of
their own special work. We have
good field for machine shop for
general commercial work.
Cattle Packing House.
Our immense pork packing industry
is flourishing and both Swift and the
Armours have established large poul-
try packing houses. The same adj
vantages would encourage a beef
packing plant.
Tile Factory.
We have no tile factory here and our
field for this business is almost UNI
limited We have the clays.
Buggy Factories.
We already have the largest carriage
factory in the west. Other buggy
factories making different qualities
would here find a great and profitable
market for their goods. The buggy
business is rapidly moving west OF
Chicago for the western and Pacific
trade, the greatest and richest mar.
ket in the world.
Fur Factory.
The hides for making fur coats can
be bought and tanned here and this
is the center of the country in which
fur coats are used.

his work in that direction as his life

work of preaching the gospel. His home

NOW LOOK OUT!

"Take care of YOURSELF" say our friends.
"l'll try to-" we answer. We do take little
care, yet in spite of warm clothes, rubbers
and mackintoshes, IN army of people were
bowled out by pneumonia and other lung
and chest diseases last winter. They
caught cold, neglected it, let it fix upon
them, were torn by coughs, choked by
infammations and congestions, wasted by
fever, tired out by pain and then gave up
the fight. The hour you realize that you
have cold on the chest, place a Benson's
Porous Plaster where the pain or oppres-
sion is felt. II you think two are needed
make 1t two. No harm if you were cov-
cred with them. They act quickly and
prevent the engagement of blood in the
organs. In this way-with ordinary cau-
tion us to exposure-you will break up the
cold and avoid a serious sickness. No
other applications, or any other fo~m Of
treatment, will accomplish This AS certainly
and speedily. Benson's Plasters have dis
tinct and positive action and are curative to
the highest degree. Use them with the samo
confidence for coughs, muscular rheuma-
tism, the grip (back and chest) and all sim
liar ailments. Women, who are chief suffer-
ers from cold weather complaints, should
keep these plasters always within reach.

the United States on receipt of 25c. each.
