NICARAGUA'S REVOLUTION.
II Is Seriously Blocking the Operations o
the Government.


New ORLEANS, La, May 7,-Passengers
arriving from Nicaragua report that the
revolution there against President Zelaya
has not been checked as reported, and
that while it is not yet strong enough to
take the offensive, it has seriously blocked
the operations of the Nicaraguan Gov
ernment.
The Government forces are so situated
that they are unable to cross Lake Mica
ragua TO attack the places where the revo-
lutionists are fortified. The latter hold
Fort Carlos at the mouth OF the San Juan
the river. They have possession Of the
Nicaragua gunboat and are thus able to
head of any shipment Of troops across the
lake from Managua, Grenada and Rivas;.
1t is understood that President Bonilla
sympathizes with and will aid the revo-
lutionists, as Zelayo cooperated with
ex-President Sierra against him

THE CRANE LECTURES.
Much Interest Conferred in Them by
Institute Students.

Superintendent William l. Crane,
of the Marshalltown public schools, who
has been engaged to deliver a series Of
lectures during the institute, bids
promise to become more popular with
the institute workers and students than
he did last year. when he was first in
troduced to the public in Marshalltown.
A. great deal of interest is being CENTER
ed in the lectures by those attending the
institute. also by many in the city who
are not enrolled but who take advan-
tage of the opportunity offered to hear
them. The forenoon lectures are to
be largely on technical subjects, of in
terest more to teachers, but those of
the afternoon bear upon general sub
jects of literary or historical charac-
ter.
Mr.. Cranes subject Wednesday af-
ternoon was "The Deyising of Meth
DDS" He showed that the methods of
teaching were largely traditions handed
down, and oftentimeS had no reason
whatever for existence, because the
teacher did not know what effect the
method was to produce on the child. In
exactly the rar11c vron,~tha patent med
icine man has no idea of the therapeu-
tic effect Of his medicine. He showed
that the teacher must be conscious of
what the effect of a process was going
to be on the child. When a teacher
has borrowed methods from tradition,
without knowing their purpose, her
work could not be rational, but must
be q patent medicine education. The
doctor makes diagnosis of his patient,
and the patients condition suggests to
him a method of treatment: not a
patient. When a teacher has learned
likewise, to study the. needs of the
child, the need will suggest the meth
cd of treatment Thus the teacher be-
comes independent of borrowed meth
DDS. and begins to devise her own. and
her methods are exactly suited to the
individual needs Of the child All
methods were originally made that way
and were suited to the need of some
child at that time. but are no more
suited to other children, who have not
the same need, than would doctors
prescription for one patient be suited
to some other unknown patient.
Mr.. Crane illustrated this in many
ways, taking UP imaginary children
and making diagnosis of their needs,
and devising original methods on the
spot, in order to show how easily meth
DDS are devised when the teacher stud
les the child and becomes conscious OF
its needs.
Mr.. Cranes morning subject We'd
nesday was Manuscript Form" and
that of this morning, Composition
The lecture this morning was followed
by actual work by the teachers on his
original theory Of composition.

The tally cards at the tables We're
unique in design, and consisted wholly
OF hand-painted water color papers, cut
to represent slices of watermelon. To
keep up the watermelon idea tiny mig

crossed, to be fastened to the score

A DOMESTIC COMEDY ENACTED
o'Brien Secures License to Wed Eliz-
abeth o'connor, of Conrad, But Miss
o'connor Thinks Otherwise - Knew
Not That He Wanted Her Until She
Saw the Published Notice.

James Leonard O'Brien, barber,
aged %, of Liscomb, and Elizabeth
O'Connor, aged 10, of Conrad.
Such was the notice of a license to
wed, published in the T.-R. Of week
lago Wednesday. July S. Ordinarily there
isn't much significance attached to a
marriage license, except when surprises
are sprung on unsuspecting friends,
and that appears to be what was done in
this instance. The bride-to-be her
self, who was visiting in Wisconsin
with her mother at the time, was prob
ably more surprised than any one else.
unless 1t might have been her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. David o'Connor.
As result Of the fact that O'Brien
decided that he would marry Miss
O'Brien, whether her mother would
let her or no." a domestic comedy was
enacted on the streets of this city
Wednesday afternoon. Miss O'Connor
was in the city, as was also Mr.. O'Bri-
here too, and he made two efforts to
have his daughter arrested. Miss
O'Connor was accompanied by her sis
ter, and the father told his troubles to
the police. asking officer Hanson to
place both girls under arrest, and he
would file an information later. The Of
ficer took the girls to Mayor Jones Of
flee, where he learned the circum-
stances and found that there was no
statutory charge that could be pre-
ferred. They We're later allowed to
go their own way, and were in O'Bri-
EMS company during the better part
of the afternoon, accompanying him
north on the evening train.
Miss O'Connor claims that she knew
nothing whatever of O'Brien's inten-
tons to secure marriage license.
Friends in Conrad and the neighbour
hood, where the girl is known, sup
posed of course when the license was
published that the young couple had
been married. and they did not know
differently until 1t was learned that
Miss O'Connor had been in Wisconsin.
O'Brien, 1t seems, visited the O'Connor
home last Sunday. and Mr.. O'Connor
eI>i,,,., si>t>t o'I,~te.> ~. $500 -, ctno&
him, going so far as TO pull Il gun on
him. After O'Connor found he could
not have his daughter arrested, he
made an effort to secure O'Briens ar
rest for the gun play of Sunday. but
was discouraged in this.
Mrs. O'Connor brought her daughter
to the city Tuesday to see Rev. Father
Lehman, hoping that the priest could
have a good influence upon her ard
give her some wholesome advice. To
Father Lenihan Miss O'Brien stated
that she had never promised to marry
O'Brien, and didn't want to. 1t seems
that Mr.. O'Brien's mother is just as
opposed to the match as the parents
of Miss O'Connor.

vorable weather continues. The Walsh
Construction Company, which has the
contract, has been accomplishing a
great deal during the past month. and
has made up to a great extent, the
time lost during the wet season.
General Roadmaster Shelley thinks
that his department will be able to get
the track work and ballasting done by
September /, three and one-half miles
of track having already been laid from
Searsboro north 1t is not thought
that the road will be turned over to the
operating department., for heavy traffic
until some time in October, probably
the latter part, as an opportunity is
to be given the new work to become
thoroughly dry and settled before the
track is used to any great extent. Bet
ter permanent results are expected by
adopting this course.

sPEER ENJOYING HIS WORK.
Noted Chicago Educator Glad to Meet
Old Friends

Professor w. w. Speer, of Chicago,
noted educator of that city, and au-
thor of the Speer method in arithme-
tic. adopted quite generally in the
schools of the United States is en-
joying himself in this city in many
ways. In the first place Mr.. Sbeer is
interested in his institute work, in
which he feels perfectly at home, hav-
ing conducted in this county himself,
years ago, six institutes of his own.
He is meeting many old friends, and
outside of institute hours is renewing
the friendships of oiden days.
Mr.. Speer is in charge of the depart
ments of arithmetic, didactics and
science of teaching in the Marshall
county teachers institute, now in ses-
sion. Incidentally, in speaking of the
institute, he says that it promises to
prove most successful in every way.
Mr.. Speer compliments Miss Hosretler's
management of the summer training
school, and says that he has never wit
messed better work in so short time
as the institute has been in progress.
The utmost harmony prevails in all
departments and the teachers and stu
dents in attendance appear to be i'm
bued with the spirit of obtaining all
that is possible out of the magnificent
opportunities offered them.
Mr.. Speer, who is now one of the
most widely known educators in the
country, practically began his work in
this county, over a quarter of a century
ago. He taught his second school, after
one years experience, in little country
district west of LeGrand. After a sue
cessful year he was made principal Of
the LeGrand schools. where he re-
manned for three years. He then went
to the old town of Butlerville, in Tama
county where he was principal for
three years and from there took charge
of the Gilman schools as principal, re-
naming three years. From Gilman he
was elected to the county Auperintend:

HAY FEVER FOR 81 YEARS.
Well Known New England Woman
Cured by Hyomei-Cure Was Last


The thousands of discouraged people
who dread summers approach because
they think that hay fever cannot be
avoided, will read with interest and
gratitude the following statement from
Helen f. Williams, of Mansfield, Mass
For twenty-seven years, from the
month of August until heavy frost, l
have been afflicted With hay fever,
growing worse and worse each year,
and of late years / was unable to at
tend to my work during that period
Last summer fortunately gave Hy-
omei trial, and / am happy to say that
1t entirely cured me, and have had no
return of the affliction since
This letter is one of many that have
come to the proprietors of Hyomei, and
the results following this treatment
have been so wonderful that 1t Is pro-
posed at the annual convention OF
hay fever sufferers to recommend Hyo-
mel to all who are susceptible to this
disease.
Hyomei is treatment Sor hay fever
that combines the latest discoveries OF
science and the best of common sense.
Knowing that a change of climate was
the only way in which relief could be
obtained, the evolution OF Hyonei ma
turaly resulted. BY breathing its germ
killing and healing balsams, anyone
can have at any moment of the day,
either In their home, the office or the
factory, climate like that of the White
Mountains or other health resorts,
where hay fever is unknown.
Mcbride & Will agree to refund the
money to any hay fever sufferer who
uses Hyomei and it does not give sat
isfaction.

ency, and served three terms, or six
years, and was nominated on the re-
publican ticket for the fourth. He re-
calls his last fight before the primary
with interest, his opponent being a
Mr. Thompson. The first time he ran
there was not vote cast against him
in his home town, and even for his
fourth term he received ten votes to
his opponents one, even tho the fight
was considered bitter one. The con-
test against him was brought about
more particularly because of his ef-
forts to increase the salaries of the
rural teachers. AS superintendent he
accomplished this, and set for Marshall
county the highest standard in the state
for women teachers. Not less than $35
was paid monthly to teachers for spring
work. and during the winter term the
wages averaged around $40 and $50,
and in some cases as high as $50. Be-
cause some townships paid the high
wages some discord among teachers
WAS created. and certain districts could
not secure anyone to take their schools,
because they would not meet such a
high standard.
Before the election that would have
returned him to the supplementary of
the county schools for the fourth term,
for a nomination on the republican
ticket was then. as now, equivalent to
an election, Mr.. Speer was offered a
position as instructor in mathematics
in the Cook county normal school. He
accepted and was later made assistant
principal. which position he retained
five years. He was then made principal
of the Oakland schools, and was there
three years, or until the Oakland dis
trict was annexed to Chicago. He
then took the principalship of the
Moseley school, Twenty fourth and
Michigan avenue, and after three years
work there was made assistant super
intendent of the Chicago schools, where
he remained for seven years, or until u
few years ago, when he became asso-
ciated with the Chicago Art Institute,
as instructor in psychology and peda-
gogy in the normal training depart
ment,
Altho he has been gone from the city
twenty years, Mr.. Speer finds many
people whom he used to number
among his friends and acquaintance.

GOES TO U. S. COURT.
C. p. Cooks cigaret Case Will Not

C. p. Cooks cigaret Case Will Not
Rest With State Courts Decision.
The law suit which the cigaret
trust has been waging in c. P. Cooks
name to resist the collection of 1owa's
cigaret tax will be appealed from the
state supreme court to the United
States supreme court Regarding it
the Register and Leader Of Des Moines,
says:
in the office of the clerk of the SUI
preme court an abstract is being pre-
pared to be forwarded to the United
States supreme court in the case Of c
P. Cook and Ed Plunkett, of Marshall
town VS.. Marshall county. The case
has been in court for some years. 1t
relates to the constitutionality of the
state mulct law and the right to sell
cigarets without the payment Of the
mulct tax In the supreme court Judge
Weaver decided against the plaintiffs
on these claims and they have taken
the matter up to the court of last re-
sort
Mr.. Cook was tobacco dealer at
Marshalltown and his business was
conducted in building owned by
Plunkett. He objected to the payment
under the state law Of the mulct tax
assessed for the sale of cigarets, and
appealed for the remittance of the tax
on the ground that the statute was
invalid because the subject matter of
the same was not contained in the title,
and further because 1t discriminates
in the favor of the jobber and whole
saler. He claimed immunity also un-
| der the interstate commerce law be-
cause, as he alleged, his sales were
not single or separate cigarets but
were made in the original packages.
He was beaten first on these claims
| in the district court and later in a de-
cision handed down In the supreme
court Of the state by Judge Weaver
In this decision which covers eighteen
typewriter pages, Judge Weaver goes
| thoroughly into the merits of the case
and the claims made by the appellants
and discusses the questions therein
| involved with vigor and minutely, hold
ing that neither of the claims made by
the appellants is valid.
The Transcript will be completed
and forwarded to the United States
supreme court late this week, and the
final disposal of the case by that body
| is looked forward to with great deal
of interest because on it will depend
the fate of the cigaret in the state
