SCARLET FEVER APPEARS.


1t seems to be fated that the chill
dren of this village shall grow up
without an education. All of last
year the school was closed for want of
a proper building and the inability to
secure teacher. Now When the
building has been put into proper
shape, and things were running
smoothly the school was closed this
week Monday on account of scarlet
fever. Little Mary Smith, the oldest
daughter Of George R. Smith, is the
first victim right in the village and is
very sick child. Miss Irene Joray,
across the river on the Sharon side,
has also been very sick with the fever,
but is now slowly recovering, and
there is still another case in Cornwall
Hollow.

HOW 1T is EXPLAINED.
The Iowa Weather Man Makes the
Record Right.

Iowa people were startled the other
day by an item quoting DR.. Chapel
of the Iowa weather bureau as saying
the present summer has been hotter
than last. They rubbed their eyes
and wondered if they had been dream
ing about all the chilly weather expert
enced so far this season. Director
Sage came to their relief. however,
with a statement that what DR.. Chop
pei had said was that the temperature
had been up to 1870 degrees above the
normal since March ]. There is a
good deal of difference between an
aggregate of 100 degrees above the
normal and 1870 dgrees above the ag-
gregate of last year. This year has
been a great deal cooler than last and
the records of the weather bureau
show difference of several hundred
degrees in the aggregate of the maxi
mum temperatures for the. past five
months For the state at large the
aggregate maximum temperature for
this peoriod is S33 degrees less than
last year. Last year every one of the
five months beginning with March /
and ending July showed an aggregate
in excess of the normal. Director
Sage's explanation takes an intense
load off the minds of Iowas human.

THE NEW ROAD LAW.
fWaterloo Reporter.)

The road supervisor has been legis.
lated out of existence in Iowa. Here
after all road work will be under the
direct control and supervision OF the
township trustees. They may let con-
tracts for the work to be done or may
appoint a township superintendent OF
roads and hire laborers. 1t is beliey-
ed by all familiar with the methods
and the results of road work in the
past that this new law will result in a
great improvement in the rural high
ways of the state. 1t is very certain
that heretofore a large part of the la
Dor and money spent for road improve
ment has been wasted. 1t was diff
cult to get capable and trustworthy
men to accept the position of road
supervisor. Sometimes good man
was found willing to make the sacri-
fee, because of his desire to see
the work properly managed, but even
then his efforts We're rendered largely
nugatory by the old plan of working
out the taxes" Men who were work
ing out their taxes never thought it
essential to put in full time or to work
with the same zeal and industry that
they displayed in their work on their
own farms or that they demanded
from their hired help. The annual
season of road work was an occasion
for social gatherings among the men
of the road district, who brought their
teams and tools along merely as a
matter of form The supervisor who
interfered with the social functions of
| the occasion by insisting on a full
days work was very apt to fail of a
reelection. But even if good work

WHAT THE "P-K" STOOD FOR.
Story of the War in Missouri anc
PRICES Cavalry.

William Curry, clerk of division of
the circuit court, is responsible for
this story, says the Kansas City
Star:
st was in the civil war, at the time
that Price was operating in Missouri.
The old general was passing through
the state. Arriving at Pilot Knob, he
borrowed several mules and with
them passed on toward Jefferson City.
1t so happened that each mule was
branded in the same way-'P-K.' When
the army arrived at Jefferson the ami
mails were about on their last legs. In
fact they were so jaded and poor that
Price determined to do a little trad
ing And so it was discovered that
when the army had gone the mules had
been left behind and about as many
well-fed horses had disappeared
SIN about week delegation ap-
peared at the state capital from Pilot
Knob The members of the delega-
ton demanded their mules In every
case except one they proved their
brands and the mules were returned to
them. The one particular case. how
ever, was that of an old German who
had twelve horses taken and had been
| left an even dozen mules. He positive
ly refused to give up the mules and
forthwith employed James Belch, who
is still spoken of, although dead, as
one of central Missouri's
most famous lawyers, tc
defend his contention. When the case
came up for triol it attracter specta
tors from all parts of Cole county
Nearly everybody had heard
of the mule trading, an(
as the Pilot Knob inhab
| itants had had no trouble in proving
ownership to all the other mules the,
We're anxious to see what manner OF
defense Jim Belch would put up il
the only contested one.
"Belch with the boldness that char
acterized him in all legal matters
! stated that the mules did not belong Il
I persons claiming them from PHO
Knob and furthermore that they neve
had belonged to them; that the mules
Il were in relaity the property of Price,
! army and that the trade of the mule
for the horses was a legitimate bust

tinued. 81 am very well acquainted
with General Price and a great many
of the men under him. Among the
members of his army is man who has
charge of branding all the stock. Al
though an excellent soldier and fight
ing for our glorious cause of the con-
federacy, he has the unfortunate fail
ing of being illiterate. In spite of all
arguments and references to dictionar-
les this brave soldier insists that cav
airy is spelled with a n So you see
he had all his branding irons made to
read PIX meaning Prices Cavalry.
Now, gentlemen of the jury. PIX on
those mules does not mean Pilot Knob
at all but, to use the spelling of our
brave soldier in gray, "P-r-i-c-e's
K-a-y-a-lr-y."
