MANUAL TRAINING EXHIBIT.

The first Of the series of manual
training exhibits in the public schools
was given Monday afternoon and even
ing a the Arnold school The building
was thronged with patrons and friends
of the school both afternoon and even
ing, and those who took advantage of
the opportunity to investigate the work
of the children We're surprised beyond
measure at what they saw. While
every parent realizes that his children
has advantages that he did not have,
or never dreamed OF having, many do
not conceive the eft, iency attained IN
several lines of work. and especially in
manual training. Much of the, work Is
really artistic, and IL is indeed hard to
realize that it does not come from some
master hand rather than from the chill
dren. Superintendent Crane was morn
than pleased, and as he can not be
looked upon as being responsible for it,,
he feels free to acknowledge his sur
prise at its efficiency. Mr.. Crane has
had a great deal 10 do with manual
training in the Dayton, o.. schools, and
saws that the work of the pupils here
txcels that of any lie has ever before
seen, aye dtlN ever v tIiii, SSAA.'ASA~'N' 49,

who recently left her school work here

who have put the best there was IN
them into the work for this exhibit,
Each building in the city is to nave us
individual exhibit. and in connection
with it there will be shown an EXHIBIT
of Mrs. White. Later in the week Mr.
Crane will have ready one of the f1nss
exhibits of manual training supposed TO
he in existence. which has been loaned
Sim from Dayton, and which has al
aeady been shipped. 1t consists OF
drawing, wood carving. iron work, etc.
The next exhibit will be at the Rogers
building Wednesday afternoon ana
evening. The Click school will be open
10 patrons Friday afternoon and even
ing: the Arson on the 23d: ABBOTT

These exhibits are going to be worth
the while of Marshalltown people to
examine. and especially of those who
are interested in the progress OF the
public schools.

Kansas City. Mo-, June 3.-The prospect
of large shipments of food which are eH,

a depressing effect on prices to-day. CON-

ever.
Potatoes. which sold Monday for as niucn
as $50 a bushel can now be bought Tor haii
that price. Eggs are sold at 20 cents. as
against 80 cents on Monday The reason
for this is largely the stringent ordinance
passed by the City Council making extor-
ton or unreasonable prices punishable by
fine of $500 and by confiscation.
Only a few tradesmen continue to traHic
on the fears of the timid people. Their
prices are just below the exorbitant line
and this way they manage to evade prosecu-
ton under the emergency ordinance.
Some of the hotels and restaurants con-
tinue to serve meals at reasonable prices.

The Merchants Exchange Flood Relief
Committee has commenced its. campaign for
the relief OF the people rendered homeless
by overflow of the Missouri. Mississippi
and Kaw rivers. The initial meeting was
held in the directors room of the exchange
at noon yesterday.
Several kilograms were read from the
flooded districts. stating that there was
great need Of funds and supplies. Among
these was an appeal from the Mayor OF
Kansas City, Kas., for food and clothing.
A message from the Relief Committee Of
Topeka stated that it was no longer able to
cope with the conditions and asked for aid.
1t was decided to issue circular letter Of
appeal to the citizens OF St. Louis for funds
and supplies. 1t was thought this method
would secure the best results. as in the past
all classes Of citizens have responded to ap-
peals OF this kind without having 10 be per-
sonaily solicited.
An executive committee was appointed to
take direct charge Of the collections and
disbursements of the funds and supplies
