At his own request Herman Long has
been released from the Toledo American
Association club. and has announced
MS permanent retirement from the field
Of professional baseball.
The reason for his retirement was his
belief that his arm had gone back on
him. and that his days OF usefulness
on the diamond were at an end. For
the good of mis- team he thought It bet
ter 40 quit the game, and allow young
er man to be engaged in his place.
His retirement was quite in line with
his policy throughout his long connec-
ton with baseball-to play his best

Didn't Need His Trade.

A man was buying bill OF goods in
this town the other day and in spite Of
the fact he was getting good treatment
all the way through he continued to
grumble and try to find fault. The pro-.
prietor of the store stood the nagging
longer than reason could ask for and
then he turned on the grumbler and in
mild but pointed terms informed him he
guessed he didn't need his trade. That
he would prefer to not do business with
that kind of people and that the mag
ger would do favor if he would keep
out of his store. Good. This thing Of
being all things to all men is positively
disgusting to one who wants to be fair,
and while it may not be business" to
kick against the one who spurs, yet it
leaves mighty bad taste to lick the
hand that smites.

Suggestions of the Season.

A dollar or two spent for paint and
seventy-tive cents for brush will re-
turn larger dividends than il put in
bank stocks or mining shares. No
householder should become SO engross-
ed in business or pleasure or politics
that he has no time or inclination to
care for the condition and appearance
of his homestead. Nor should he be too
dignified or too indolent to remove his
coat and do for himself, with his own
hands, the little jobs which it is fre-
quently expensive and not so easy to
have carpenter or painter attend to.
Not only does such attention preserve
porches, ratings, fences, steps, etcetera
but the additional charm to the home
spot puts contentment beyond price
in the heart of wife and children. Some
Of us are too much inclined to spend for
our backs and appetites money that
should be spent on the home.
1t is every good citizens duty to love
his home, and it is easy to love if it is
lovable. Make it attractive, and keep
it attractive. Your children will be UNI
consciously softened for good and you
will be compensated in hundred ways
Wake up, clean up, spruce up. II you
live in rented house, buy it. If you
are unsettled, settle; then trim your
lawn, set out rose bushes, train vines
and paint the fence. Brush up; and if
your wife won't help you---but she will

alleges that the child was forced into
the marriage with defendant in October
1902, when only nine years old. She
left him the first of March and has been
living with Anna Crandall near Brigh->
ton. An injunction has been issued
restraining Leeper from further annoy
ing his child wife whom he is alleged to-
have threatened to send to the reform
school. The marriage, it is claimed was
performed in Lebanon, Missouri.
Leeper is over sixty years OF age and
has been married five times and has
married children living in this county.
His present wife has been to school but
three days in her life. The case is one
of the most shocking on record.

Charlton Graduating Glass Revolts.

Our neighboring town of Charlton is
having lively time with the gradua-
ting class of their high school this year.
The class asked the school board to
allow them to depart from the old foggy
style of each member of the class
boreing the public by delivering an
oration at the commencement exercises
and instead permit them to have a
lecture by some prominent speaker.
Leon adopted this plan several years
ago and the change seems to please
everyone. The Charlton Leader of last
week says:
The members of the senior class of
the Charlton High School, twenty-four
in number, have been having "troubles
of their own the past few weeks.
Instead Of the regular commencement
exercises they asked the school board
to give them lecture. This request
was refused by the board and then the
trouble commenced. The seniors then
prepared a petition signed by their
parents, and presented to the board,
asking them to reconsider the matter.
This the board refused to do. The
seniors thought they had grievance
and on the eve of April Fools day they
prepared joke in the shape of num-
Der Of printed hand bills announcing
that Prof. L. d. Goodrich of the Chicago
University would deliver lecture
instead of the regular commencement
exercises to be held this spring. These
bills were distributed over the city.
1t is hardly necessary to state that
Supt Morris and the members Of the
board failed to see the joke. To carry
the matter still farther the seniors
went to school on the morning OF April
Fools day dressed to resemble clowns.
They were refused admittance to the
school building. In the afternoon they
went back, dressed in mourning. They
were met at the door by Prof. Morris
and given the alternative of signing a
paper stating that they would give
their commencement orations without
any more trouble, or going to their
homes and remaining there until the
matter was definitely settled. The
paper was signed by eleven members
but the remainder Of the seniors de-
clined to do so. On Monday morning
all members of the class were per-
mitted to go back to school, but only
those who signed the agreement will
graduate. The Charlton schools have
been moving along smoothly and with
out any friction and it is greatly to be
regretted that this trouble has arisen.

Weather Crop Bulletin.
FOR WEEK ENDING APRIL II, '04.
DeS Moines, Iowa.

The past winter was abnormally cold
and the ground was frozen to an un-
usual depth. The frost has yielded
slowly, and the surface has been too
wet for field work, except on the dri-
est lands. The season is ten days later
than the average in all parts of the
state. A fair start has been made in
seeding small grain in more favored
localities, but the general storm Of rain
and snow on the 9TH, 8th and 9th retard-
ed all farm operations. There is much
larger than usual area of fall-plowed
ground in readiness for seeding and
planting and the average of oats, spring
wheat, barley and corn is likely to be
quite large if the weather conditions are
favorable. Reports indicate consider
able damage to fall wheat by winter
killing. Grass is making a fair start.
So far as can be ascertained at this
time the prospectus favorable for fruit.
The general condition of live stock is
an abundant supply Of forage.
