The County Superintendency.

There is a misapprehension on the
part of some and misstatement on
the part of Others about the nomina-
tion of Miss Chaplin for the office OF
county superintendent. At the time
OF the democratic convention the NOM
ination OF Miss Chaplin was thought
OF, but as there had been no opportu-
nifty to confer with her in regard to
the nomination, on motion of w. r.
Mead 1T was voted for the time being
to leave the nomination vacant. Mr..
Lyons then moved that the county
committee be authorized to fill all va
cancies on the ticket. This was unan-
imously adopted. We were then aware
OF Miss Chapin's superior fitness for
the office, holding state certificate
in Minnesota, equivalent to the same
grade Of certificate granted in Iowa,
and grade of certificate in Iowa
equal to that held by Mr.. Wildman
who probably could not secure a GER
tifcate in Iowa equal to the one
granted Miss Chaplin in Minnesota.
This is the situation and the effort to
belittle the Minnesota state certiti-
cate on the part of the supporters Of
Mr.. Wildman simply belittles their
candidate in the estimation of intelli-
gent men. Republicans from all parts
OF the county demanded her nomina-
tion and the democratic committee
called for mass convention to bring
her name before the people and she
was accordingly nominated with the
concurrence of the committee author
lied to ill vacancies on our ballot.
There is no question that her attain
ments are vastly superior to those of
MIR. Wildman and besides that she is
leyel-headed. Her nomination is not
the result of wish to introduce par
tisanship into educational matters,
but to secure for that service the very
best Available talent. This we believe
has beer done, and the nomination
had to be made by party convention
or by petition and thus it was made.

THE KREUGER MURDER TRIAL.
The Verdict Of the Jury and Part of

jury find the defend mt, Sophia Kreu-
ger, guilty of murder in the first de-
gree, and we say that her punishment
shall be imprisonment for life at hard
lab,r in the penitentiary," which was
received by the defendant without a
particle of emotion and the same in
difference that has characterized her
actions throughout the trial.

MIR. Knippling, candidate for Super
visor in the second district, is proba-
bly, at work, but as his district does
not include Cresco he has not shown
up here, and what he is doing we are
unable to say.
The nomination of Thos. L. Flem-
ing for sheriff by the Democrats Of
Winneshiek county should give'to him
unanimous democratic support as he
is said to be entirely capable and hon.
est. The work for our own county
candidates precludes us doing for him
what should be done. Active work is
being done for him all over the county
and he is said to have a strong fol-

n small dark cloud at first, but it
rapidly grew worse ACCOMPANIED by
heavy wind and lightning. 1t was un-
doubtedly the last heavy crash of
lightning that caused the water to fall
in such an immense body. 1t struck
fairly in the canon of Willow creek,
six miles above the town and there was
no warning until the mighty wall of

everything IN its path. When it
reached Hcppner the water was more
than IS feet high, splashing, leaping,

Those who were on the streets
shouted warning as they rushed madly
to the hills for their lives. They did
not dare turn back or they too, would
have been swept away.
Fathers left wives and children to

time threatened the destruction of a
the town. The fire originated in the
basement of what was the skating rink
but occupied by the Messalonskee
Clothing Co.. and j. j. Thayer, printer,
and is supposed to be the work of an
incendiary, as no other possible cause
can be ascribed.
As soon as the firemen decided there
was no chance of saving the building
they directed their efforts toward the
ncighboring ones and succeeded in saw
ing all except one dwelling house own
ed by Clarence Horn of Waterville and
occupied by Mrs. l.. A. Field.
A brisk wind was blowing at the
time and carried sparks some distance,
but the recent rains prevented them
from doing serious damage.

"THE DUSTY MILLER"
And White Bread.

Most millers are bitter enemies or
Grape Nuts for business reasons, for
Grape Nuts food is largely replacing
white bread for Crane Nuts con-
tains the whole of the health giving
grains while the patent white flour in
universal use today is made with the
most healthful part of the wheat left
out.
y miller of Newark, Ohio, who has
studied the subject, says of Grape
Nuts: 81 began by using the food once
day, then twice n day and for the last
6 months three times a day and | con-
tidcntly affirm that | have received
more real substantial benefit from the
use of Grape Nuts than from all the
other things / have tried My trouble
was indigestion and kidney disease.
Il began to receive relief at once and
as | am practical n.illwright and
miller az well can see and understand
the philosophy of such Il nutriment as
Grape Nuts and why it's use gives us
such good results. The continued use
of patent -four bread will produce in
jury sooner or later because the true
DEMONSTRATING and life-giving elements
of the wheat berry are eliminated in
the manufacture of patent flour
My unasked-for advice to all is to
use daily n nutriment like Grape-Nuts
that retains all the vitality of the
grain. For this very reason there is
more direct virtue in the daily use of
Grape Nuts than in all the medicinal
tonics in the world that crowd to over
flowing the shelves of drug stores.
THE restaurant where l take my
meals keeps Grape-Nuts on hand to ac-
commodate me and others who eat to
live and enjoy life and health" Name

riety of ways-from plain breakfast
food to the novel and delicious Grape

COLBY'S CRISIS.
The Students Unanimously
Vote to Leave College.
This Means An Abrupt End to All
Commencement Arrangements.
Maine Colleges.

Waterville, Me-, June 16.-(SpeciaD
No announcement of any decision by
the president and faculty regarding the
last petition sent in by the students
Of Colby was received during the day,
Tuesday. The boys believe that having
given up a part of their demands some
notice of this fact should be taken, and
some concessions made by the presi-
dent and faculty.
A meeting of the student body was
held at o'clock in the evening, at
which it was unanimously voted not
to participate in any more college eX-
ercises.
The meeting was short one, no
speeches being made, or any discussion
held.
After the vote had been taken, Prof
Roberts made a short speech, and at
tempted to persuade the students to
reconsider their action. Although he
is one of the most popular members
of the faculty, and the majority of
those present were willing to do al
most anything for him, they would not
recedc from the position they had taken
and after he had finished, the meet
ing adjourned.
If the president and faculty should
decide to reinstate the sophomores, the
students would doubtless return, but
if they do not, they will go to their
homes, Wednesday.
