first place in the Humorous Glass at
the Northern Iowa High School De-
Contest held at Maquoketa
on Friday evening. This was the
cause of rejoicing that brought out the

iubilant, yelling shouting students

felt thai BIS haGaas are excellent for
winning FIRST place al the state contest
to be hello al Stuart Iowa on April 10.
T6e credit is not clone due to Mr. Soehl
but to Prof. John Dunn Martin who has
trained him. to Prof. Fl. II. Savage who
has assisted an0 helped him ia many
ways and TO The whole high school
whose generous spirit OF fair play ana
friendly rivalry has produced such eN-

Soehl received . mest .ay.ering o7at
ton at She close Of his selaetion and in
spite Of the fact that M aquoketa had a
home contestant in this class Fred was
accorded the rather exceptional honor
of an encore which he was forced to
acknowledge. Prof. Savage tells us
that he kept Fred in bed the greater
part of the time at Maquoketa, had him
rehearse once in the opera house then
put him to bed again and had him in
the finest kind of condition when the
contest opened. The Denison boy was
not only the, first in his class but easily
carried off the honors of the entire con
test.
The winner Of the second place was
Ralph McWhirter of Spencer Iowa
He is sixteen years old but looks abou
ten and while this apparent disparity
in size is apt to work on the sympathy
of the judges it is felt that Mr.. Soeh
has nothingito fear from him in the
State Contest, Who the representa-
tives of the Southern Iowa are to be il
not known as yet, but we are ready tt
back Denison against the field.
The telegram announcing the victor,
was received onsSaturday morning b,
Mr.. Albert Riepen and he at once Sc
to work to notify the high schoo
students and to prepare for suitable
reception. Thus it was that the Boy
band and two hundred lusty voice
sounded the welcome when Prof Saw

at nine O'Clock. Fred was hustled GU
of the car and carried up and down tn
platform on the shoulders of his admir-

Washington. Dec. 16.-The senate
was prompt today in taking UP the
Cuban reciprocity bill and Spooner was
recognized. He began by
remaking that it was strange the sem
ate should find it necessary to spend
so much time in consideration of bill
which had been so pre- nptly accepted
by the house. This attitude he declared
was inconsistent with the attitude OF
senator's who not SO long ago were en-
gaded in accusing the white faced pat
ent man who then occupied the exec
utive mansion with ulterior motives in
standing against the war with Spain
for liberia ton of Cuba. Spooner spoke
of the varying positions of the oppo-
nents of the bill, and especially OF the
introduction of the Newiands resolu-
tlon inviting Cuba to become a part of
the United States. depreciating it and
saying he hoped 1t would be postponed
indefinitely because he said sometimes
invitations are regarded as commands.

streets. to prove her right to damages.
She testified that she and Mr. Staley
became engaged October 81, 1901, and
that the date of their marriage was
fixed at June l. 1902. 1t was later
changed to June II. at the request of
the defendant. Later he refused to
carry out his promise.
About twenty-five letters were sub
mitted to Judge Hutchison, who read
enough of them to discover that Mr..
Staley was capable of very armous ut
terances. The last letter he wrote to
her breaking the engagement, express
ed his regret, but said he was sure 1t
was for the good of both.
"You will marry another man. and
be much more happy" he told her.
''As for myself. will never marry. 1
wish you would return the diamond
ring l gave you. You can keep the
other.
Mr.. Staley. who is contractor and
builder made an effort a year ago to
settle the case for $500. but his offer
was rejected. Although he accepted
notice of the suit, he did not even put
in appearance yesterday.
