School Consolidation.

A spirit favoring consolidation and
Capitalization of schools is being mani
tested in many portions of the county.
The Thorp and Goodwin districts have
been the first to take action in the mat
ter. After a thorough investigation
into the benefits to be derived these
districts have decided to consolidate
and establish graded school. The
new district will be known as district
No. - and the present site of the Thorp
school house has been decided upon as
the new site. Three teachers will be
employed this year and the school
thoroughly graded and classified. a
high school course of two years will
also be established. This is good step
and the people of Thorp and surround
ing country can soon boast of having
as good schools as any community.

There are several ways of darning a
rent in a garment, as there are several
different kinds of rents. The rent
known as the barn door" a three cor
ncrcd cut or tear. is perhaps the most
difficult. Lay under it piece of the
same material. taking square an
inch larger each way than the tear,
and haste this down on the wrong side
smoothly and firmly. Take n thread
of. as nearly as possible. the same
color and fincncss as the wool of the
cloth and work back and forth across
the rent with the smallest of running
stitches. Never try to darn. even in
heavy cloth. with Il coarse needle. but
always use rs fine q one as will carry
the thread You have elected to use.
When all is darncd. turn on the wrong
side, trim of the supcrtiuous patch,
leaving only fourth of an inch each
side of the rent. and press neatly with
a warm iron on the right side, laying
a piece of damp muslin between the
goods and the iron.

kt1cHuM FOR COMMISSIONERS.

In another column of this paper N
S. ketchum formally announces HIM
self a candidate before the coming
republican state convention for the of
fee of railway commissioner. to sue
coed Ed c. Brown, of Sheldon, whose
term expires this year. Mr.. ketchum
is urged to this announcement by what
appears to be very general demand
of his friends in all quarters of the
state. He was one of the prominen.
candidates for the office two years
ago, and was defeated before the con-
yentio1f at the end of a sharp contest
At that time he developed a popular
strength over the state which is the
basis of his present candidacy. Var
ious newspapers in widely divided
sections Of the state have Endorsed his
present ambition and his prospects for
success this year are particularly
flattering.
II nominated and elected Mr. Keteh-
UNI will bring to the office a varied and
useful experience. During thirty five
years as manufacturer and salesman
he has acquired a knowledge of ship
ping necessities and facilities which
especially fits him for the office to
which he aspires. He is man of
correct Judgment, conservative. and
disposed to be fair alike to the public
and the railroads, and his candidacy
has behind it the elements Of popular
strength and approval.

S. Swanson, Of Ogden, la, writes Feb
uary 90, 1904: Il had been troubled
with an acute form of rheumatism for

many remedies. and physicians of note,

incurable that they could do nothing
for me. / was induced in August to

February 22,1904: Some time In July
was suffering u severe and acute att
tack of rheumatism. Being advised to
try Elminat,m, procured bottle and
began taking it. I have had no SYM
ptoms of rheumatism since. My sister,
Mabel Mitchell, took the remainder of
this bottle for a similar ailment and
has since had no symptoms of neural
gia and rheumatism. We heartily rec
omnend your remedies. Yours, E. r.

S. T. Sabin, Of Watkins, Ia, writes
March 10. 1904: Il have used your rem
edy for rheumatism in the case of my
/ 17-year- old son with very satisfactory
results. He was stricken With infiam-
matory rheumatism during November,
1903, and after being in the doctors
care and taking three bottles of adver-
tised rheumatic cure was no better. /
then procured bottle of Elimnatum

No one can give any good reason for
such an opinion or name the other
man, nevertheless it is a common mat
ter of remark. Struble, of LeiMars;
Roach, of Rock Rapids: Hubbard, of
Sioux City, and last but not least, Funk
of Spirit Lake, all of course have their
own counties behind them. but at pre-
sent no one has any decided advan-
tage. 1t is doubtful if any congression-
al district in Iowa can present as many
good men, as much good congressional
timber as these men represent. Any
one of them if nominated and elected
will be creditable choice. The contest
is going on quite naturally, and while
there is a disposition in some quarters
to spring the Iowa idea and stand
patter' racket into the fight the only
affected candidate viii be the present
incumbent. The writer has been In
formed several times that Lot Thomas
is an anti-Cummins man as all con-
gressmen are" but has also heard that
the opposition to him comes from a
source committed to the doctrine of
