Mason City, Sept. 29.-The kirkland
flats, the first four-story apartment
building which had been erected in this
city, and which marked the beginning
of better facilities for living for small
families, is sad ruin by fire Saturday

The new building was almost complet-
ed. The elevator had just been put in
and run for the first time Saturday, and
stairways to turn 1t over to the occu-
pants. The cost of the building when
complete was to have been $4,000, and
the cost of the office building was $780,
900. The Brice company lost $4,000
worth Of fixtures and considerable loss
OF furniture stored in the building was
also sustained by various parties. The
fire originated in some way on the third

full OF inflammable stun, was soon a
roaring furnace and beyopd the control
OF the fire department, whose appara-

such a conf1agration. However, they

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, Sept. 29.-President Geo.
We. MacLeon today somewhat disap-
! pointed friends of the university by
| the issuance of the following statement:
The complete enrolment to date is
| 1880 students, and on this basis the en-
| rollnent for the year will not exceed
1900 students. The enrolment Of our
graduate college, which last year num-
bered 127, is, from the nature Of the case
not yet made up, so the reports are
really only for the college of liberal
arts and the five professional colleges.
The increased standard of admission
particularly in the professional coll
|leges-have been maintained at the
expense of numbers.
Our new year began with a sum
mer term having an increase in enroll
ment OF 25 per cent. as compared with
the proceeding year. On this basis
we have expected a similar increase
for the year, but the enrolment for the
week just closed would indicate that
we shall not have this increase. The
damage to the corn crop in Iowa has
caused considerable number of stu
dents to delay a year. The unprece-
denied Freshman rains of the opening
week have caused further delay.
The outlook for the university in
the character and qualifications of the
students, and the increased numbers
in the faculties. in the additional equip
ment and new buildings. was never

the medical buildings in the new med

Iowa City, Sept. 29.-The trial Of Mrs.
Ella gallagher, for the alleged MUIR
der of her husband, James Gallagher,
at River Junction, on the night of June
20, 1902, began this morning in the dis
trict court Besides the twenty-four
regular jurors, special venire of forty
assembled, as 1t was expected that there
would be great difficulty in securing
jury of unprejudiced men.
The case has been so thoroughly tried
in the newspapers, here and elsewhere.
that it is believed that few citizens have
failed to form an opinion. 1t was on
this account that Senator Ranck, the
attorney for the womans alleged para
mour and fellow-conspirator, Charles
Holada, threatened to take change of
venue when his client came to be tried.
The first expression from Mrs. Cal
laugher to newspaper man, since the
night of her husbands killing, was
made in her cell in the county Jail to a
representative of the Times-Republica
this morning. In the first interview that
she has granted she said:

"Charles Holada,s attempt to brand
me as a murderess does not terrify. for

Judgment until / have had q fair trial

"Holada's statement that plotted
with him to murder my husband by
poison or any other means is absolutely
false.
II never planned the death of my
husband, and the fact that underwent
such grief at his death partly accounts
for my bearing up under the imprison-
ment as I do. / suffered such agony
ever the loss of my husband that this
prison cell does not seem to be able to
add to my misery.
"Holada's allegation that I confessed
to him that murdered my husband is
olso false.
II never made such statement to
him.
II am certain that II receive a fair
and impartial trial-all that I have
ever asked. and for which have been

Quilted. for the facts in the case, once

THE HABIT OF LYING.
Ways In Which Prevarication MAY
BE Developed.

ways In which Prevarication MAY
BE Developed.
How does one become liar--that Ii
to say, how does the child discover a
lie and habitually make use Of 1t?
We can admit that at the beginning
there Is absolute sincerity. The child
through all it's first years neither lies
nor dissimulates. Its sentiments, its
desires, translate themselves into words
and into acts. Its body is the constant
and perfect expression OF its Utmost
being. Such is the starting point-sin-
certify, absolute transparency.
There Is multitude Of little lies
tolerated which we treat as pardon
able. We tell the domestic to say we
are not at home when we are; we COM
pliment people to their faces and crit
icise them when they are gone; we say
we are happy to see some one and d.
rectly after speak Of having been an
noyed. No more is necessary. The ex-
ample has been given.
We lie to the child himself. We are
pressed by his many embarrassing
questions and in order to free ourselves
from the embarrassment reply with
what is frequently falsehOOd. Some
fine day he discovers the truth, and the
evil is done. The gr9vest case is when
the child is taken as an accomplice in a
lie or when his mother tells him,
"Above all, do not tell this to your
papa" This is the ruin Of all morality.
The third stage is the first encounter
of the child with society, the first
shock with social life. The child who
tells all he knows, sees and hears, all
that he would better have left unsaid,
is called the "enfant terrible" His
parents do not tell him to lie, but they
tell him it Is not necessary to tell all
he thinks. This is extremely serious,
as it teaches the child that he cannot
show himself as he is. This is the
revelation Of the lie obligatory. Above
all, among his comrades he quickly
learns to dissimulate, because If he Is
naive-expresses all his joys pains, de-
sires-they make sport of him; nay,
worse, they abuse his confidence the
hopes, projects which he has confided
to them he some day sees used against
him.
Thus the impossibility Of living with
out lying is revealed to him. Society
excuses certain forms Of lying which
are inspired by feeling Of politeness.
modesty, shame.
The child becomes a liar because all
the world about him lies. The distinc-
ton between the liar and the man Of
sincerity is only relative. There are in
reality only two categories-those who
content themselves with the lies exact
ed by social life and those who have
habituated themselves to lying more
than society wishes, to lie because Of
some personal interest.
An important cause in the develop
ment Of lying in children is the, en-
ployment Of excessive and Ill advised
punishments. The child who becomes
a liar is the one who lives in perpetual
terror Of reproaches, humiliation or
strokes. The lie for him is a supreme
resource.-Chicago Tribune.

Ruskin ON Humility,
