ter, Freake and the two Nickalls. This
team will compete in the various Amer
lean championships.

4 CARACAS, Venezuela, Feb. 21.-The
morning papers here publish aprotest
directed to Venezuela, the United
States and the European nations, as
follows: I'm order that the public may
know how Germany, Great Britain
and Italy execute their engagements
we call attention to the grave fact that
UP to today the ships taken by the
three powers have not been delivered
to the government Of Venezuela, as
stipulated in the protocols.
The German commander has notified
the authorities at Porto Cahello that
the Venezuelan gunboat Restaurador,
which was captured by the Germans,
will be returned to Venezuela on Mon
day, Feb. %, at O'clock in the after
noon, "and not before.
Il A revolutionary army estimated. at
$500 men has reached a point about
twenty miles south of Caracas. The
revolutionists and the government
troops both occupy strong positions.
The revolution organized by General
Matos during the course of the block
v
allied warships was reorganized and
three armies formed. One, under the
command Of Antonio Fernandez, num-
bering 1900 men, was routed near CAL
abozo, in the province Of Miranda, 120
miles southwest Of Caracas, several
days ago, and it's chief is now fleeing
in the direction of the river Apure.
The second army, led by Generals
Mantilla and Selagnie, 1920 strong,
was defeated last Wednesday near
Franchiche, province of Lara, 40 miles
west of Caracas.
The third army, commanded by Cen
erals Rolando Penaloza and Vidal,
which was expecting to meet the first
two armies, arrived Thursday by way
Of Santa Lucia and Guarenas at a
point about ten miles from Petare,
which is situated ten miles southeast
of Caracas, after having lost 800 men
from desertion en- route. The strength Of
this third army is estimated at $500
men. 1t has taken up a strong posi-
ton, and the troops sent against it by
the government are also strongly
placed.
The revolutionary army is not be-
lieved to be strong enough to attack,
and if a few days are allowed to
elapse without the rebels taking the
offensive against President Castro,
who since the conclusion of the block
ade has been receiving re-enforce-
ments, it is regarded as certain that
they will be defeated

pressed in Favor Of centraIizins
Township Schools, and in Raising
Course of studies-committe to be
Appointed to Investigate.

The meeting of the county school
officials, which was held in the east
court room Saturday, will very likely
result in general movement that will
be of inestimable value to the rural
schools of Marshall county. An al
most unanimous sentiment was eX-
pressed for the Capitalization of town
ship schools and for elevating the
standard of the studies in the schools,
SO that a pupil would be eligible, after
leaving the rural school, for admission
to any high school in the county.
A committee, consisting of County
Superintendent Hostetler and three
members chosen by her from among
ter question. The meeting was large
~ attended, especially the afternoon
session, the court room being almost
entirely filed with school officials, and
"a few teachers. The morning session
was rather an informal one and was
convened at about IL o'clock. Mr.. e.
U. Graft spoke on What May the
Teacher Expect from a Community"
He also led the discussion on the SUBJ
ject
The afternoon session commenced at
1880. Mayor 7. r. Culp, of Liscomb,
spoke at some length on the Course
of Study for Rural Schools" He adj
vocated a course of study for the rural
school which, when completed by the
student, would enable him to enter
after an examination, any of the high
schools of the county. His idea was
that the examinations should be con-
Quoted by an examining board and not
by the teacher under whom the pupil
had studied. This board should be
chosen from among the school officials
OF the county In case the pupil passed
the examination successfully he would
be given a certificate admitting him
to any high school in the county.
Mrs. Frank Swearingen, of Liseolnb
township, led in the discussion, which
was very general many of those being
present taking part. The general opn-
ion seemed to be that this was a move
in the right direction for the better
ment of the country schools. This plan
is now in working force in some of
the Iowa counties, and the committee
to investigate will be appointed by the
superintendent in short time.
Superintendent w. 1. Crane spoke
on Teachers Wages" and in his char
acteristic convincing manner brought
out the fact that of all the things given
to a person, that make lasting impress
sions, they are those which he receives
while he is yet child. This being the
case, the very best OF skill should be
employed which of necessity, COM
mands the best of wages.
While the Capitalization of towns nip
schools was not directly brought up
the discussion brought it out, and The
sentiment expressed was very much in
its favor. Superintendent Hostet!er.
in speaking of the meeting afterwards,
expressed herself as being most highly
pleased, and agreeably surprised with
the interest manifested by officials
thruout the country.

truth. at times kept from coughing
myself to pieces by taking teaspoon
full of this remedy, and when the cough
ing spell would come on at night /
would take a dose and it seemed that
in the briefest interval the cough
would pass off and would go to sleep
perfectly free from cough and it's ac-
pains. To say that the
remedy acted as a most agreeable sur
prise is putting it very mildly. ! had no
idea that it would or could knock out
the grip, simply because had never
tried it for such a purpose, but 1T did.

coughing the remedy caused it to not
only be of less duration. but the pains
were far less severe, and had not used

WILL NOT ACT TONIGHT

It is Not Likely That Council Will
Take Any Definite Action in the
viaduct Plans and Specifications
Matter-committe Will Probably
Be Appointed.
1t is not likely that the city council,
at its adjourned meeting tonight, will
take any definate action in the
Center street viaduct plans and specifi-
cations matter, with a view of ordering
the work done. Instead, it Is thought
that a committee will be appointed,
which will investigate the cost, and re-
port at future meeting. AT that time
the council will act.
Members of the council rather look
upon the viaduct as something not In
the immediate future. but rather ne
cessity that will have to be dispensed
with for some time to come. There is
going to be much opposition to Its
building. not only by the railroads. but
by property owners on South Center.
1t is thought probable that the COM
mittee, which will be appointed. will
visit a number of places already having
viaducts, investigate the character OF
the building and, if possible, obtain the
plans and specifications at a lesser cost
than would be incurred were new plans
and specifications drawn.
1t is thought that the Center street
viaduet will cost between 100000 and
S150,000 exclusive of the damages that
will have to be paid for as resulting
to abutting property. These figures are
much larger than those of City Engi-
neer Bremner, who did not have in
mind the substantial structure that Will
be necessary.
