New Structure Must Be Built Between

Muscatine. April 3O.-Owing to an
accident to the engine pulling the Rock
Island train due here at $40 o'clock
Wednesday morning it lid o arrive
until 1910 o'clock, being two hours
late. One side of the engine vas dis
abled and thus 1t was with difficulty
that the train could be started in view
tof the fact that the engine on No. 8
has a great deal more to pull now since
the Ell Paso flyer was taken of. When
the train reached Moline, where it could
not be started, a switch engine was at
tached and pulled the train to Rock
Island, where a new engine was secured
and the run to Kansas City made much
easier.
Between 4 and 5 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon the bridge spanning Yellow
creek between Adams Station n the
Cedar river took fire. presumably from
la spark from a passing freight train,
thus forcing the Muscat..ne Western to
go around from Nichols to Columbus
junction in order to reach Muscatine.
The bridge was about 40 feet IN
length, and nearly all of It toppled over
and dropped into the water below, max
ing 1t necessary to build an almost en-
tirely new structure. tho II is thought a
portion of the old materia! may be used
in the reconstruction.
It can not be stated ut this time how
long 1t vii be before the bridge may be
put in such condition as IN permit trains
passing over 1t, but it will probably
take some time. In the meantime, how
ever. the Western will ran as usual, go
ing by way of Columbus Junction. No
change in the time OF her departure will
be made. but IL will probably arrive
somewhat later owing to the additional
miles 1t is forced to travel.

Prof. Barrett will have trouble if he
assumes that his task is to prove the
superiority of a consolidated school
over a small school maintained by rich
people employing a private tutor. We
don't believe he will undertake it. For
If the people of the district would
make the sacrifices necessary to main
tain a small school with a capable
teacher there would be no rural school
problem. The problem exists because
the support fund in man small dis
tricts is insufficient to maintain a pro-
per standard of efficiency. The issue
lies not between large and small schools
or between large and small classes but
between large schools sufficiently sup
ported and small ones insuf11ciently
supported.

Eldora, April 30.-A. w. Mitterer, the
present incumbent of the sherifEiS of
flee, has further complicated the fight
for the shrievalty of Hardin county by
announcing his candidacy for a renom-
nation and is now busily engaged In a
personal canvass. Mr.. Mitterer's can
didacy is somewhat helated and is
largely the result Of the urgency of his
friends over the county who desire to
see him succeed himself.
Mitterer's announcement makes a
stirring contest q certainty and his re-
nomination is not the sure thing 1t
would have been had it bcen made a r
lier. Eldora will be likely to stay by
Perry, whose candidacy was announced
early and who has strengthened him
self by vigorous work. Allinson, of
Iowa Falls, is likely to cut some figure.
especially in his HON precincts, but he
has announced himself thru but one

his candidacy is thoroughly meant.
