Autumn Exercises.

The patrons of the Brant school were
agreeably surprised when the pupils
presented their parents with an in.
vitation to attend ''Autumn Exercises"
Friday, October "a, 1902. They were
quite UNIQUE, being designed after an
oak leaf.
In response to these invitations about
fifty patrons and friends were present.
The school house presented most
pleasing appearance, being appropri,
ately decorated in autumn leaves, ap-
pies, corn, pumpkins, etc. The pro.
gram consisted Of songs, recitations, etc.
We could not help but comment on the
creditable manner in which they were
rendered.
Miss ogden has just closed a very
successful term of school and is model
teacher. The patrons regret very much
she cannot be retained, as she is already v
employed to teach in Leon the coming
year. Miss OQden has made many
friends here who regret her departure.

Express Company Indicted.

The federal grand jury at Keokuk last
week returned to the United States dis
trict court an indictment of the Adams
Express company for an alleged viola.
ton of the internal revenue laws. Per-
sons at Birmingham, Iowa, received G..
o. d. packages of whiskey from con-
signers in Illinois and paid collections
and charges to express agent.
The grand jury and District Attorney
Miles, held that the Y. o. D. method
constitutes sale OF goods by the ex.
press company to the consignee and
hence requires retail liquor dealers
license.
The express company will be indicted
as a corporation under California
precedent. United Estates Marshal
Christian will serve notice on the prasi.
dent of the Adams Express company
and the agent at Birmingham.
The case grows out of efforts of people
in many Iowa communities to prevent
the sale Of liquor and the efforts of deal
ers to circumvent the Iowa prohibition

State Superlntendent's Rulinos on
the Law for Compulsory
Education.

AS the present school year for school
purposes will end with the organization
Of the new board in March, 1903, all
children subject to tie law should attend
for at least twelve consecutive weeks
before that time.
Irregular attendance will not meet the
demands of the law, which requires at
tendance ''for at least twelve consecutive
school weeks in each school year." But
vacation time should not be construed
as interruptirg the consecutiveness of
attendance; neither should enforced alb
sence caused by sickness or other Tn.
avoidable reason
The law for compulsory education
does not specify at what time of the
school year the child shall attend for
lively e consecutive weeks, leaving that
to the discretion of the parent or guard
ian. But all parties charged with Il e
enforcement of the law should urge par.
ents or guardians to send their children
at the beginning of the school year.
The requirements of the law for com.
pulsory attendance do not interfere with
the authority Of the board to expel any
scholar from school for causes named in
section 27S2 of the code. And such &C.
ton of the board will not excuse the
parent or guardian for not compl ying
with the law by sending the child to
private or parochiat school, or by hav-
ing him "attend upon equivalent in.
struction by competent teacher else.
where than school,"
Twelve consecutive school weeks in
each school year" is construed to
mean twelve consecutive weeks of five
school days each. If for any unavoid.
able reason time is lost by absence the
child must attend until the require.
ments Of the law are met by making up
lost time.

HARD BLOW At JUG BUSINESS.
Sales of c. o. D. Liquor BY Express
Company Agents Declared to be
Illegal.

The supreme court last Thursday put
quietus on the sales Of liquor at retail
by agents Of express companies to
whom liquor Ia consigned q. o. D. from
other states. The court rendered the
decisions in two cases in which sales Of
this Kind were questioned. The cases
were those of the state, appellant, vs.
the American Express Company, r. NJ.
Coffin and certain Intoxicating LIQUORS
and L. E. Latta, appellant. vs. the
United States Express company, G. FL.
Wilson and F. e. Lamphere.
The case against the American Ex.
press company was from the Tama dis
trict and the other from the Washing.
ton district.
In the Tama county case Judge Burn.
ham gave decision in favor of the ex.
press company and in the Washington
case Judge Dewey also decided in favor
OF the company. The supreme court
reverses the trial court in both instances.
The effect of the decisions is to make
liquor handled g. o. D. by express COM
paDies subject to seizure. In deciding
the case from Tama county the court
said:
"The express company in effect en-.
gagged in the business Of selling through
agents at retail intoxicating liquors
shipped by it for that purpose from the
state of Illinois. This was mere devise,
as it seems to some of US, to evade the
police laws of the commonwealth and
that the doctrine of original packages or
of freedom Of interstate commerce does
not apply to business Of this char
acter."

No More Road SUPERVISORS

At the rural election precincts last
Tuesday the voters missed the familiar
sight cf farow of little boxes in which it
has been the custom for many years to
deposit votes for road supervisors. The
abolition of the Office of district road
supervisor, of which it can be truthfulIv
said in most cases that the office sought
the man and not the man the office.
marks another step in the gradual re.
volulonizing of road works method,
"Wofking the roads" used to be a Joke;
it has become practical and business
like matter. The office of district road
supervisor was abolished by the last
legislature, and beginning next April
the township trustees will take charge
of the work, letting contract or hiring
township supervisor, as they prefer,
All! road taxes except the road poll tax
are paid in cash, not worked out as
formerly. Beginning next April the
trustees of each township will make a
township road levy. The new law also
puts considerable extra labor on the
township clerk in preparing the road
tax list.
County officers are much puzzled in
regard to the new road law and how to
apply it. After this year working the
roads" is done away with, and then the
taxes on all property are to be collected
as other taxes in cash. Inasmuch as
roads are worked" the same year the
property is taxed and then collections
are made in cash this is generally a
year late, the county officials are
wondering how the change is to be
madeswithout leaving q gap. But on
reading the new law carefully they find
that provision is made for what is yirtu-
ally an extra levy of taxes in 1903 to be
collected that year while the regular
levy made that year will not be collect
ed until 1904. There is special pro-
vision in the road law for this purpose.
There is question arises as to the
legality of double tax levy in one year
though the collections are in different
years. 1t is pointed out that possibly
some property owners would object to
this sort of thing.

MEXICAN VETERANS.
Hold their Annual Reunlon In this
City.

i
Decatur County held their annual
reunion in this city last Friday, and
although few in numbers the old boys
had most enjoyable meeting. Not so
very many years ago Decatur county
vas the banner county in the state Of
Iowa in regard to the number of Mexi-
can veterans who resided within her
borders. But few years makes rapid
changes in their ranks and to-day there
are but nine veterans of the Mexican
war living in Decatur county, and OF
these only one was not present at the
reunion. Mr. Amos Ladd, Of Grand
River. who is in very feeble health
being the absent member. One member
s. P. McNeill, of Garden Grove, has
died since the reunion last year and it
is feared that before another year rolls
around there will be more breaks in the
ranks, as the youngest member is now
past Y years Of age, and they are all
growing feeble as the years roll by,
The veterans met at the Woodmansee
house and after partaking of a sumptu-
Gus repast served by landlord Statzell,
spent couple of hours in renewing
recollections of army life 81 years ago,
and many hearty laugh was enjoyed
at some of the "reminiscences.
VIM. McHenry, who attended the
reunion paid beautiful tribute to the
memory of their departed comrade, the
late S. p. McNeill, of Garden Grove,
and when he closed the old comrades
with tears in their eyes each said a kind
word in his behalf.
The election of officers resulted in the
reelection of Capt. E. Ii. Alexander, of
Leon, as president. and Capt. Thos.
Ward, of Decatur City, as secretary,
both having served in these capacities
for several years and their old comrades
evidently intend they shall hold the
officer for life. Capt. Garrett Gibson
was elected vice president to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of S. P.
McNeill.
In addition to the members living in
this county there were two visitors at
the reunion this year from Wayne
county, VIM. McHenry, of Humeston
and Thos. Hancock, who resides near
Corydon. The average age of the ten
veterans present was almost 78 years.
the Oldest one being Henry Rex who is
S3 and the youngest one 72, Capt. Thos.
Ward of Decatur City.
