COUNTY HAS MANY SCHOOLS.
Marshall County Is Well Supplied
With Places Of Learning

Probably none OF the other aineiy-
nine counties of the state are better
equipped with sthoo, houses than
Marshal. county. To the average per-
son, who has not taken the trouble to
investigate. it may be news tn know
that In the entire county there are 157
schoolhenses. One hundred and forty
seven of these are open. the other ten
being closed. Two hundred and forty
teachers are employed in them, and
during the past year daily average
of 1859 pupils passed in and out of
their doors. This included not only the
rural schools, but those In all the
towns and villages. In the rural dis
:iicts outside of the towns there are
126, while in the towns there are
twenty-one. Marshalltown, of course,
leads the others with eight. None OF
the othSr thirteen have more than one.
Among the townships LeGrand and
Timber Creek come first with eleven
each. Linn comes last with only two,
this being due to Marshalltown being
an independent school district. Out
side of this city's schools those of AL
bion and State Center are the largest.
The Albion school is consolidated
school, and draws almost entirely from
the surrounding rural districts. 1t en-
poys six teachers. The State Center
school, attended by pupils living most
~ within the towns Limits. has seven.
In Marshalltown there are seventy
teachers. OF the ten schoolhouses
which are closed two are in Marietta
township, three in Iowa and one each
in jefferson, Taylor, Washington,
Bangor and Timber Creek townships.
A number of these were closed owing
to the consolidation, as was done in
Iowa township. where almost all of the
children attend the Albion school. The
school with the smallest number of pu-
pills Is Linn No. l, Just east Of the city.
which was moved outside the city linn
ii when 1t was extended east half a
mile several months ago. The report
Of Miss Anna Jurden. the teacher.
shows there are only three pupils at
tending. Her salary is $35 month,
making the cost per pupil rather high.
Most of the pupils in this neighborhood
attend the city schools. The salaries
paid to teachers, outside of this city,
differ In the various townships and
range from s35 to $50, with an average
of about $40.

LYNCH LAW.
Yours very truly,
MRS. MARY V. BELL

II May Have Taken Its Name From q
Mayor OF Galway.
About the year 800 one James Fitz-
stephens Lynch was mayor of the town
of Galway, in Ireland. He had sent his
son on a trading expedition to Spain
with good cargo and a large sum of
money. The young man returned with
a ship load of valuable commodities,
which he reported as having been pur-
chased with the money and with the
proceeds of the outgoing cargo. After
some time a Spaniard came along. de-
manding payment from the mayor for
the goods he alleged had been bought
on credit by his son. The mayor de-
clined payment, as his son averred he
had paid in cash for the goods. UnfOr-
tunately for the latter, sailor who
had been one of the crew on examina-
ton by Mayor Lynch declared that his
unworthy son had spent in reckless
debauchery not only the money intrust-
ed to him, but the proceeds of the
cargo as we'll; that he had then bought
goods from a large firm on credit, and
that vghen one of the partners of the
firm came down to the ship before sail
ing to receive the money young Lynch
murdered the man and had him thrown
overheard to conceal the facts from
his father.
The yoEhg man was Immediately ar
rested and brought before his father,
who, Notwithstanding the fearful en-
treaties of his wife and daughters, SEN
fenced him to death. He took him up
stairs in his warehouse, adjusted a
rope around his neck, having first Sc
cured it inside, and then pushed the
young man out of the window, where
his dying struggles were witnessed by
the inhabitants of the town of Galway.
In the town records this entry is yet
| to be seen:
"James Lynch, mayor of Galway,
hanged his own son out of the window
for defrauding and killing strangers,
without martial or common law, to
show a good example to pOsterity."
It may be from that incident that
| lynch law took its name. 1t is not pc
culiar American institution, as is COM
monty supposed, but has been practiced
in other countries. The English had a
walled town in Devonshire of the name
of Lydford which became noted for
the summary punishments inflicted on
notorious offenders. They became pro
verbal in England as LydfOrd law,
and it is not impossible that lynch may
be corruption of Lydford. In Scotland
it was known as "Jedburgh justice"
James Lynch, a justice of the peace
in one of the Piedmont counties in Vir
ginia, whose methods were both sum
mary and severe, is also credited witt
having given his name to this offhanC
and expeditions mode Of dealing will

THE AMERICAN LAUGH.
1t Is a Valuable Aid In Building Up
Our National Greatness.

Our National Greatness.
Gods greatest gift to man was the
laugh. Without it the human race
would have wept itself to death or ex-
terminated itself long ago. Pathos is
beautiful; tragedy is absorbing. But
both pathos and tragedy are instantly
routed by the laugh.
Laughter has sunshine in 1t. 1t Is
warm. Learned men have searched
for the secret of life. What is it but
good humOr? That's the secret of life
being worth living.
What sunshine is to earth good hu-
NOR is to man. Take the smile and
the laugh away, and it would be the
end of man.
Men can't fight while they enjoy a
Joke. Death himself recOils from the
laugh. The man in a good humor has
an enormous advantage over the man
who is angry. Anger is dark. Bitter
ness is filled with shadow. Intoler-
ance is grim and black. Prejudice is
blind.
Good humOr, with the smile and the
laugh, is sunshine in which objects are
plain and distortion disappears and
wherein phantoms become nothing.
One reason for Americas greatness is
that above all, it is a nation that
laughs. There have been gay peoples
and frivolous nations, but gayety and
frivolity are strangely akin to melan-
choly. That gay Germany whose ma
tional happiness is expressed in song
is clouded by melancholy. Sadness
pervades the temperament of Germa-
mia.
And frivolous France-how tragic
she becomes-how desperately tragic!
The grea American laugh is another
thing. In stigate the American ma
tional laugh, and there's a sound, prac-
tical something behind it. 1t is never a
forced laugh. 1t is healthy, vigorous,
spontaneous.
Empires and powers have crumbled
and gone o pieces in solemn serious
ness and gloomy grandeur, while Uncle
Sam, with a joke on his lips, forges
ahead.-Denver Post.

THERE has been growing recently in
this country a spirit of unrest and
disregard for the law, says the Mid
dletown Transcript There have been
many notable instances, none of
which are stronger than the lynchlng
of White at Greenbank. Then there
is the recent strike of the street car
men of Richmond. which required the
presence of militia men under arms for
nearly four weeks to preserve order.
These men were receiving 2l cents
per hour for nine hour day, and they
do not seem to have made clear just
what their demands or grievances
we're. Fortunately for the city, Vir-
ginia had ''red-headed Governor" as
the citizens affectionstely call Mr..
Montague, and he decided to act and
did so promptly. Now, the strike is
broken, and the men are only waiting
to receive their strike benefits before
returning to work.
Tho Evansville episode is also of re-
cent date and is another instance of
the prompt action of a nervy Cover
nor who maintained order and upheld
the supremacy of the law.
The most recent case is not one of
violence or the threat of violence, but

definitely arranged. The canal will cost
$50, coo 900, but powerful support is ex-
pected from the British government
One of the great engineering features
of the scheme will be the carrying of the
canal near the Loeb Lomond end. Ere

Az indication of the saving in dis
lance that would be effected by the
canal, says an exchange, will be gained
from the following figures; From the
Clyde to ports on the east coast Of Scat-
land, northeast of England, and rCrth-
west of Europe the distance saved
would be from 529 miles to 238 miles
From the Firth Of Forth to ports on tn,
west coast of Scotland, northwest o.
England, Ireland, America and the Med.
iterr.rcan the distance saved would bC
from 4S7 to 141 miles. From Tyne
ports to the St. Lawrence river the dis
lance saved would be $50 miles. From
the west of Britain and northeast
of Ireland to middle western ports OF
the continent the distance saved would
be from 81 to IS mics.
