SAYING they are all right; Guy had re-
turned from his trip to the mountains
feeling much invigorated, and that
school work had resumed or was to re-
sumo June s. From clippings she sends
from Il Manila paper there seems to be
considerable dissatisfaction among the
teachers because they are paid less
than their contracts call for. Many of
them would resign and come home If
the expense was not so great.
Dubuque.
The will of Mrs. Mary ]. Walker,
who died on July at Milbrook, n. Y,
was filed for probate Tuesday by her
attorneys. Mrs. Walker left an estate
valued in the petition at $4,000 altho
more than that amount of her own
property is contained in the requests,
of which 100000 is real property. Her
sister, Emily A. Watson, of this city,
is the chief beneficiary, and will re-
ceive about 100000 of the estate. Mrs.
Walker also disposed of a trust fund OF
100000, left by her father, John Wat
son. of which she enjoyed the income
for life. and which he had given her
power to dispose of by her will. 1t was
given to thirteen institutions.
keokuk.
Low lands near this city on the Des
Mones river have been the last to suf-
fer from flood losses. TIE corn was as
fine as ever grows, some of ii would
have made over eighty bushels to the
acre. One man with fifty acres under
water said that he would quickly pay
81 900 if it We're possible thus to annul
the flood. An estimate of $50 per acre
seems low one as TO the present value
of the crop which was laid by. There
are at least 1000 acres under water
close to the mouth of the river. At the
damage per acre given, that means a
total damage from the flood of $4,000
practically in sight of the Des Mones
river bridge at Keokuk. Then there are
the losses on up the river to Oskaloosa.
Jefferson.
Mr. Leroy Barton, of this city. has
been elected principal of the schools at
Emerson, Iowa. at a salary of $50 per
month being $40 more than he received
at Churdan the post year. He was re-
elected at Churdan, and rather expect
ed TO return there, but no contract had
been signed. Three young men of
this city played merry trick on a
couple of our merchants yesterday.
They went to their places of business
and told them they had bet the cigars
on a certain proposition, and that If the
merchants would advance the cigars
the one who lost when the bet was de-
cided would pay for them. They got
the cigars and then announced that one
Of them had bet in case the water tow
er should ever fall, it would fall to the
east; another that it would fall south.
and the third that it would fall north.
