does not seem to get a chance al
this season Is the new resolution.

We are now assured of nine months
school. A few-a very few
whose lack of education themselves
or whose love for their pocket book
or whose theory that what their
fathers got was good enough for
another century, voted against nine
months school, but the Review Is
glad to say that the number was
very small indeed.
The fact that some persons out
side the city were interesting them
selves unfavorably in the matter
hastened the voting during the last
hours of the election, aroused an
additional interest, and the vote
was exceedingly large for a school
election. It was a vote for the boys
and girls of the city, and the Re-
view congratulates the school au'
thorities and the citizens OF this
town upon the result.
We want even better schools
than we have now. and the verdict
Saturday goes long way tc secure
them.
The new board of education
takes the relns on the first of July
with the people behind them, ex-
pecting such a wise and progressive
and aggressive administration as
will make Our schools still great

said to a Review man this morning
that there never was a team as anx-

LOCAL COMMENT.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

They can hardly be properly called
spring showers.
The annual fish stories, of huge Mis-
sissippi cats being caught impaled on
wire fences, are due.
At this time last year it was con-
sidered by the travelling public that by
another year the Northwestern railroad
would have raised it's platform at the
union station sufficiently to escape the
periodical overlooking that grew to be
almost a weekly occurrence during the
1902 wet SPELL Such, however, is not
the case, and it appears as tho the
experiences of last year We're again to
be repeated.
Marshalltown witnessed a pretty oc-
currence this week in the graduation
of her high schools class. An average
number. thirty, was maintained for the
class of '03, and among it's number
were eight boys, a higher average than
usual. For the first time in the history
of the school, which has held twenty
eight commandments, colored boy
has graduated and Marshalltown is
proud Of him. The fact that the lad,
is working against the hardships of edu-
eating alone without assistance, is
one worthy ofipraise from all good peo-
pie. Laurence Jones VIII undoubtedly
be heard from in the future, when the
opportunity presents itself, and he is
able to take advantage OF conditions

Decorate the Graves-observance in

While the rain seriously interfered
with the preparations for Memorial
Day. Marshalltown was not without
its observance, and at the Soldiers
Home, this afternoon, Hon. John F.
Lacey, of Oskaloosa, representative
from the Sixth district. addressed the
veterans in the chapel. The room was
completely flied, and was not half
large enough to provide accommoda-
tions for those who wished to hear
him. The lower halls of the main
building were used to as good advan-
tage as possible, but even then many
were disappointed.
The services at Riverside, which
were to have been in charge Of Frank
NJ. Thomas Post, No. 50, G. A. r., as
sisted by the w. r. c., Sons of Veter-
ans, Phil Sheridan Post, citizens and
school children, were dispensed with,
owing to the rain. Sunday, If the
weather is favorable, a detail from
the F. NJ. Thomas post will visit the
cemetery and place flags at each
grave.
AT the Soldiers Home all of the eX-
ercises to have been conducted at the
cemetery were done away with, with
the exception that detail was sent
to place flowers on each grave. The
assembly call was sounded at 2:30, af-
ter the band, seated on the veranda,
had played a number of patriotic airs.
Rev. F. M. Coleman, d. D., pastor OF
the Methodist church, led in prayer,
after which Miss Edith Ennis read

Now that it is over, neither side of the
would have the verdict
changed. Mutual respect is demanded
of the combatants, and that respect Is
accorded. But we may search IN VAIN
for any man who participated IN that
struggle ON the other side who would

again restore the institution of slavery,

is difficult to picture those times SO that
they may be fully understood.
"To the old men who are before NE
and who marched away TO the south
land in 1861 to 1865, the memory Is one
that will not become dim. 1t is burned
into their memories by hardship trial

the role of Ezekiel, who prophesied and
caused the dry bones of a dead army to
again stand upon their feet and be-
come clothed again with flesh and
blood. All these old comrades memo
ries will bring back that army of young
men as they marched and as they
fought in those tventful years.

this city. who will occupy his pulpit for
the first time tomorrow, is of Scotch
Irish descent. He was born near Bel

ago he came to America, and entered
upon a college course at Wooster Uni

both the classical and oratorical de-
partments. He received his theologi-
cal training at Lane Seminary, Gin

post graduate work In the Mccormick
Theological Seminary, Chicago.
While seminary student Mr.. Demp-

important churge. but upon debating
the matter in his own mind, decided
on taking small difficult field instead.
He selected Leipsic, o., and remained
there a little over year, adding a
large number to the membership, and
clearing the church of Indebtedness.

tended him an unanimous call, which
he accepted. The work was in poor
