A spanking Machine in schools.

Baltimore Sun.
 The following dispatch from Redwsng. Minn.. will be read with consternation by millions of American school children
 "The State training school here has adopt ed a spanking machine. which supersedes tha previous form of punishment by hand power. The superintendent reports that 1t works very satisfactorily and can be easily regulated. The humiliation of being put in the spanking ma- chine has more effect on the children than the punishment and 1t is believed this irn- provement will add much to the discipline of the institution.
 This is an age of invention Machinery is being substituted for hand power in many ir- dustries. Resourceful the human intellect Is, however. nobody dreamed that mechan- ical appliance would be devised which would administer correction in the old-fashioned way to the child that deserves corporal punish ment. But there Is apparently limit to the ingenuity and inventiveness of man. The whip ping machine has arrived and. according to Minnesota experts 1t works satisfactorily" It marks the advent of a sad and inglorious day for the young idea which is not amenable to moral suaslon. The who invented this instrument of correction will be execrated by the rising generation. When he passes to an- other world he will go "unwept, unhonored and unsung" He is an anchronism in this dark ages he would have earned renown as a ''reformer" In the Twentieth century he will be regarded as a survival of barbarian. not only by school boys, but by many children of a larger growth.

The teacher of country school asked his pupils one day If any of them could tell him who Joan of Arc was.
 The question followed by profound si- fence. Some of the pupils stared at the teacher and some turned and stared at one another. as if seeking information in the faces around them.

MARGARET.
What a British Paper Says About a
 New Orleans Celebrity.

T. P.'s Weekly
 The question of women's work can only be settled by women themselves. The more they combine, the more they help one another. the more they realize their limitations. and the more they estimate their possibilities. the more they'll be con- sdered as a unit in the worlds work. One of the most blghting things about a great city is I think. the tendency 1t has to make each one think of himself or her. self as an insignificant atom of a stupen- dous whole. Poverty, injustice and crime assume such terrifying proportions all around us that we arc all inclined to get
 into as easy a path ss possible. and pass on with a hopeless shrug of the should CTS and what can I do?'' Yet if one looks into 1t, what would the world be like today if all men and women had given that hopeless shrug and passed on? How much poorer should we be in beauty and light?
 This seems weighty sermon to preach apropos of asking women to join Typ ists' Union. but really the thought came to me of the miracle that can he wrought by individual effort through reading late ly in a description of New Orleans, an account of a statue which was erected some years ago in that city to the mem- ory of a Margaret Houghery. a poor un- lettered Irish woman. She went. 1t seems, to America when very young. and was engaged as servant in a hotel in Bal timore. She subsequently married, and she was left widow. and childless. though she had been a mother. She finally set tied in New Orleans and devoted her life to the care of orphans. For some years she sold milk and saved a little money, with which she set ID a little bakery. Her bread soon became as reliable in quality as her milk and her trade in- creased so that she was able to employ couple of bakers to help her. Eventu- ally she erected a large establishment, which became in time the largest bakery in the world.

PELVIC catarrh is a phrase coined P by pr. Hartman, covering all that large class of diseases that used to be known as female weakness. The lower portion of the abdomen Is called by anat- onlists the pelvis The organs contained in this portion of the body are known as the pelvic organs. There are several of them. very delicate and very subject to catarrh. Few women escape entirely catarrh of these organs. While each case presents some minor difference as to de- tail. they are all in reality alike.
 Pelvic catarrh, therefore, is a gynerlc

The first outward sign of Contagious Blood Poison is small sore or blister. As the poisonous virus spreads through the system the glands of the grons swell, red eruption appears upon the body, and ulcers and break out in the mouth and throat the hair and eyebrows drop out and the body is covered with coppercolored spotches and sores and the poison works its way into the bones and joints and attacks the nerves.
 The time-worn remedies and Potash-are still used in the treatment of Contagious Blood Poison but the effects of these drugs upon the system are almost as bad as the disease itself, and the best witnesses against these remedies are those who have used them longest Mercury only smothers the poison in the system and the disease is liable to return at any time, and that metallic taste in the mouth, tender gums, ulcerated throat, and other returning symptoms, show the poison is still active

was made conditional upon dual Ian
guage speaking priest being sent-one
capable of speaking both the German
and the English languages. This was
under the regime Of Archbishop Hen
nessey. now deceased. The church was
built but no dual language speaking
priest appeared. Archbishop Hennes-
sew died and was succeeded by Arch
bishop Keane. The latter held that he
might send whatsoever kind of priest
would serve best the people from ms
roint of view. The plaintiffs then be-
gan action against the church thru
Archbishop Keane-the custodian OF
the funds-to recover their contribu-
tons because of breach of contract.
Judge Dyer, in his decision. holds that
the contract was legal and that by the
death of Archbishop Hennessey it
passed to his successor, and that thru
it he is holden. The decision further
states that Hennessey failed and keane
still refuses to carry out the contract
and that therefore the plaintiffs are en-
titled to recover their contributions.
The costs in the case are taxed to
Keane and the judgment is made a lien
on the property and the same, or so
much of 1t as may be necessary, is or
dered to be sold to satisfy the judg-
ment. The case will probably be APP
pealed.

Special to Times Republican.
Fort Dodge, Jan. 1.-Fire last night
destroyed the huge elevator of the
Great Western Cereal Company's mills
lat this place. One hundred thousand
bushels Of oats and quantity Of valu-
able machinery were destroyed by the
fire, and the loss will reach from $4,000
to 100000, fully covered by insurance.
The cause of the fire is mystery. 1t
was probably started by a chance spark
from the machinery, and the flames,
famed by a strong south wind. spread
like wild fire. The elevator is connected
with the main mill building by closed
passage way, and for a time the mill
proper was endangered, but the plucky
work of the firemen and mill employees,
armed with hose with which the mill
building is fitted, confined the flames to
the elevator, the loss on which will be
total. The employees who were in the
elevator building were able to escape
without difficulty. They fought the
fire with extinguishers until driven or
by the heat of the flames. A. c. Heath,
one Of the managers of the mill, stated
today that the elevator would probably
be rebuilt, but the mill is necessarily
|shut down, and seventy-five men are
thrown out of work. The elevator was
one of the largest of its kind in the
state. It had a capacity of 10000 BUSH
els. The mill has been one of the chief
points of the Great
Western Cereal Company. The mill is
that originally operated by H. R. Heath
& Sons, who came TO Fort Dodge from
Des Moines. 1t is under the manage
ment of C. H. and A. C. Heath.
