also business correspondence, stenog-
rapliy and typewHting and bookkeep-
i::s. Attention is given 20 singing and
physical culture. The older boys, re-
naming III the store two evenings in
the week. study arithmetic, spelling,
writing, commercial correspondence.
English. stenography, bookkeeping and
mechanical and freehand drawing, and
have the advantages of military and
gymnastic training. Debating and lit
erary clubs and glee clubs and other
musical organizations are also encour-
aged.
In this plan Of Mr.. Wanamaker's
there seems a partial solution of the
problem of child labor. These chill
dren, many Of them recruited from the
lower ranks of life, are assured an ed
ucation of the most practical nature
alive in business if they prove worthy
and deserving. No better business
training is possible to be obtained than
one gained in great establishment
like Wanamaker's. Joined to this the
education along other lines and the
discipline Of the military schooling
make an ideal curriculum for the flu
ture business man. 1t Is to be hoped
that other great establishments may
take up the Wanamaker idea.

Caution.


This is not a gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to
purchase for 75c the only remedy uni
versally known and remedy that has
had the largest sale of any medicine
in the world since 1868 for the cure
and treatment Of consumption and
throat and lung troubles without los
ing its great popularity all these years
you will be thankful we called your
attention to Boschee's German Syrup.
There are so many ordinary cough
remedies, made by druggists and others
that are cheap and good for light colds
perhaps, but for severe coughs, bron-
chitis, croup-and especially for con-
sumption, where there is difficult ex-
pectoration and coughing during the
nights and mornings, there is nothing
like German Syrup. Sold by all drug
gists in the civilized world.

TWO NOTABLE IOWA ORATORS.

Today, when re-nominated by q
proud and satisfied constituency to
represent the Fifth congressional dis
trio. in congress. Robert G. Cousins
made an eloquent and characteristic
address to the convention gathered
without dissen. or dissatisfaction to
do him honor. 1t was an occasion
when the orator might well be at his
but friendly faces expressing pride and
appreciation; to know that no opposi-
.tion. personal or political, existed
against him in the convention hall or
outside in the district; to feel that his
work had been well done to the ap-
prevail of those whose interests he held
In charge and whose political senti-
ments 1t had been his duty to express
was sufficient incentive to oratorical eff
fort. Mr.. Cousins did not disappoint
his auditors. They.listened to a speech
at once impassioned, conservative and
wise. It commended policy proven
broad and prudent by the past and
called for it's continuance. In colloquiai
phraseology Mr.. Cousins made good"
Another Iowa orator made good"
last evening at Minneapolis. His
speech wassa model of eloquent express
sion. His views on~the great political
issues were voiced fearlessly and with
emphasis and the representative audi
eilce Of prominent republicans to whom
he spoke cheered the governor of Iowa
to the echo. His speech and his recep-
ton are matters of pride and salts
faction alike to the party he represents
and the state Of which he is the chief
executive. Like Cousins' speech at Ce-
dar Rapids, 1t was a mastery review
OF republican achievement and pointed
forward to the future and opportunity.
Some one said after the great han
quet given in reception Of General
Grant at Chicago that an orator might
be scared from behind every bush on
the western prairies. The remark seems
to apply fairly to Iowa without hyper
bole. Iowa is eloquent. More than that
she is progressive, while remaining
safely conservative. Her orators are
statesmen and her statesmen orators.
More power to Iowa!

SEWAGE DISPOSAL IMPORTANT.

The board OF control. following the.
lead OF Marshalltown, is among the
first to realize that sewage disposal In
Iowa is no longer satisfactorily accom-
plished by emptying drains into near
by stream. AS population increases in
The cities of level prairie country,
with its sluggish streams and little or
Go natural drainage, the sewers OF one
town begin to poiute the water supply
OF the next town below. Injunctions
ard expensive litigation is sure to fol-
low. to say nothing of the fever cpl
denies and disease that results in great
loss OF life.
Marshalltown, forced by Tama and
Toledo, its neighbors down stream. has
completed an extensive sewage dispos-
al plant at an expense Of over $4,000.
The plant is not now in operation. but
gives every hope of being successful.
The town of Grinnell, emptying it's
sewers into Little Bear creek. is threat
ened with an injunction by Malcolm, It's
next door neighbor below, and already
the city council of Grinnell has made
q pilgrimage to Marshalltown to Learn
of the work on sewage disposal done
here. The board of control intends to
build similar plants for the state insti-
buttons and it will be only few years
until every city of Importance in Iowa
/ and all prairie states will ba building
similar plants. Sewers and water sup
plies can not use the same streams In
thcikly populated countries any more
than they can use the same pipe line.
Sewage disposal plants will be the
great work of municipalities for the
next few generations.

another noted character in this
country was Donty Burris. He was on
trial for murder once in the court house
at Gainesville, Ozark county. Near the
end of the trial, when the prosecuting
attorney was making his closing argu-
ment to the jury the judge left the
bench for a moment and stepped out OF
the court room into an ante room. I'm
mediately Donty, who was thoroughly
reckless and made joke of everything,
mounted the bench and sat down in the
judges place. The prosecuting attor-
ney, engrossed in his argument to the
jury, did not notice it. He was pleading
for the conviction of the prisoner, when
suddenly Donty, mimicking the judges
voice, said sharply:- Your remarks are
highly improper, SIR The prosecutor
turned in establishment to see the pris-
oner acting as his own judge.
1.-The jury will return a verdict of
not guilty at once, and while you're do
ing it the court will take a drink con-
tinued Donty, and he produced from his
pocket a flask of whisky and took
long drink. The judge returned while
he was drinking. Donty arose, bowed
to him and offered him drink. After
ha Lam hn ri oil n,
and Donty was acquitted.
"Donty got drunk once and crawled
under building and laid down to sleep
with some hogs. In the night he was
heard admorishing them: Keep quiet;
you're faring as well as I am, and I'm
not squeal!ng.'
tom Spence was a lawyer of great
native ability, but little common book
learning, who was well known in the
south. He was once retained to defend
a man who. was arrested charged with
breaking the law which prohibited the
disturbing of religious congregation.
The prosecuting witness was Elihu
Weehunt, who testified that while he
was In the church alone, waiting for the
rest of the congregation to come, the
defendant came in and cursed and
abused him. At the trial Spence INTRO
duced no testimony, but waited till his
opponents testimony was over. Then
he arose and said to the court:
your honor, I claim that Elihu
Weehunt air not congregation, and if
he air a congregation, he air not re-
ligious congregation
"The court agreed with Spence and
discharged the defendant"

THE cosT OF STRIKES.

In advance Of q comprehensive re-
view of the cost of strikes by the
United States department Of labor
preliminary pamphlet on the subject
has been issued from the treasury de-
partment. The compiler Of the report
we can give but a few of the more d.
rect. Immediate losses to employed and
employers. To attempt to give the to-
tai and absolute loss, direct and indi-
rect. of all our labor troubles. the loss
of assured gains. the stoppage of con-
! templated work for fear Of strikes and
Aall those thousand and one losses is
simply beyond the power of man and
absolutely incalculable." The paper
ssakes the period of thirteen years end
ing with 1894, during which there We're
gE9, 166 strikes and 6,067 lockouts in the
United States, most of which We're in
1.-THE building trades. Both strikes and
glcckouts were unsuccessful in more
Ethan half the cases. The number of
Bmen involved was 3,712,561. Wages
swere lost to the extent of Sls0,493,17S,
land the loss to employers was s94,s25,-s
2s7. Labor organizations. in addition.
paid $10,000,00O for the support Of
strikera.
Commenting upon this another wri-8
ter estimates that the direct loss from
strikes in the United States between1
1881 and 1894 was s23,00o,0o0 a year.
Indirect losses would add immensely to-
the total. Every well-meaning citizen
deplores this heavy drain upon the re-
sources of wage-earners and the vari-I
Gus industries. In the light of figures
and social progress generally, this
method of settling labor controversies
Is the worst, not the best. Some other
method should exist for reaching prop
er labor adjustments. Demands that
are just and reasonable and those that
ere the reverse ought to be disposed of
by some means other than Industrial
war. Figures of this nature may seem
trite. but the lesson they bear is OF
great Importance to wage earners md
employers alike. Arbitration is believed
by many to be the remedy, and its
value as such has certainly never been
disproved.

ANOTHER wANNAmAkER IDEA,

Recently Mr.. F. N. Bremen, the man
ager OF the Wanamaker store in Phil
adeplphia delivered an address before
meeting Of the American Academy
Of Political and Social Science. He
outlined the policy of the great estab-
iishn1ent by which he is employed in
dealing with child labor. From Mr.
tBrenler's statements 1t may be gath
erred that to enter the employ of the
sWanamaker company as a cash boy is
q prelude to liberal and business ed
sncation unobtainable outside this or
similar institutions. These boys begin

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Washington Press believes "The
tariff schedules should be revised by
the friends Of the tariff, and they
should be revised judiciously, intelli-
gently, justly, in the interest of the
American nation; and Iowa should not
elect single congressman who has
not the nerve to SO vote" It thinks
There is as much tinidity about 1t as
there was about adopting the gold
standard in '96."
The Iowa City Republican says Of
the commission appointed by Governor
Cummins to have charge Of Iowa af-
Airs at the Louisiana purchases expo
sition: '"The governor could not have
done better Every act of such a COM
mission will command respect. 1t is
suhc contrast to the slate that was
reported several days ago that the con-
clusion is natural that somebody is dis
appointed. The slate makers evidently
did not know what they were talking
about. Other commissions have been
selected with care, and their make up,
as well as the last one, evidence the
fact that the governor is recognizing
strong men without regard to party or
faction"
The Muscatine Journal is positive
that Nothing is more certain than. the
tendency of any tariff tinkering to in
volve the whole tariff. Merchants,
manufacturers and workmen want the
pingley law to remain as 1t is until
the proper time comes to revise 1t. At
present tile only safe course for repub-
leans Is to stand on the platform"

Seven Gave Their Lives.

On st. Patrick's Day Of this year
seven Atlantic Coast Guard Life
Savers were drowned together by
the overturning of boat in tenn
pestuous sea, while endeavoriag to
recue the crew from wrecked
barge off the end of Cape Cod.
Numbers of the brave fellows in
that service give their lives to
save others every winter. The
crew now on furlow with Buffalo
Bil's Wild West have dauntlessly
faced such perils for years. One OF
the most intensely interesting fea-
lures in the arena programme is
their highly realistic demonstra-
ton of the way in which the
"Breeehes buoy" is operated to
take people from wrecks. All their
outfit is loaned by the government
for this use. They viii be seen
here on Oct. 90.
