German Sunday Schools"

In England the term Sunday school' has a definite meaning, and is exclusively used to denote a place of religious teaching. Iu Germany, however, the race for commercial supremacy has led ts the establishment of Sunday schools at which mechanics are given practical instruction ia their trades. There is, for exam pie, a school for masons, at which the students, many of them me. chanics who work during the week, spend several hours on Sun. day morning in learning the high. CT branches of their craft. Sim ilarly there are Sunday schools for tailors, ironmongers, bookbind CTS, and followers of other trades
 -even barbers and blacksmiths.

ONLY A RIVER WHITEFISH.
Story of Man Who Knew Fish When He Saw Them, Also . Rail-
 road "Ad."

William 0. Harris, angling ed itor of Outing, and rightly called the Izaak Walton of America, is Q man who can come pretty near to telling exactly what fish you will find in Blank brook, in Blank township of Blank county, Idaho, Texas or Rhode Island. New fish es and new facts about them, he loves as a miser loves gold, only he does not hoard them, but gath CTS them to give out again.
 One day Harris chanced to be in St. Paul. He was talking with General Passenger Agent Charley Fee, who said Harris should go to Montana to catch grayling in u stream at that time much advert tised.
 Harris said there were no gray. ling in the stream. The railroad man laughed at him as a New Yorker who pretended to know more about a certain Montana river than man who had f1shed it.
 The dispute waxed warm. Har- ris was due in New York on a certain day, and by taking the first train west he could have six hours on the stream and still keep his en- gagement. In 36 hours he was on the stream with a local represen- tative of the railroad. He waded in, made one cast, and was fast to a silvery thing that tore about nightly like that of a grayling. It came to the net, and the local representative of the railroad fairly shouted:
 sThere, there; it's grayling"
 "Pack this carefully in moss," said Harris. "Send it to your gen. eral passenger agent" Then he walked to the telegraph office and wired that official:
 "Am sending one of your gray ling. It's an internal old river whitefsh."
 Then he took the train for New York and kept his engagement.

Onawa, Sept. 19.-The Monona
county district court adjourned yester
day for the term. There will be an
adjournment term October 5, but no
jury will be summoned
Yesterday morning the case of the
state VS.. Walter Hill, who was found
guilty of sodomy, was called. The mo-
ton for a new trial was overruled
and the defendant was sentenced to
serve three years at the Anamosa
penitentiary. The prisoner and Frank
Gregg, who was convicted of larceny,
will be taken down in a few days, and
at this time the sheriff will take man
along to identify, if possible, the man
in the penitentiary from Delaware
county, who is alleged to be Ed Corns,
the murderer of ex-SheriH w. ID.

sent UP from Woodbury. county. is
positive that Corns is now serving a
term there. He ought to know Corns
who was known as John Morgan when
working near Castana, but not much
stock is taken in his story here, and
until Corns is fully identified by some
one from this vicinity who is well &C

A "UNIoN" HORSE.
Fort Dodge Equine Which Refuses to
Work After O'clock.

Special to T1meS-Republlcan.
Fort Dodge, Sept. 1.-THE spirit OF
unionism has at last reached the
equine tribe as was evidenced BY the
performance of Jumbo, the big dray
horse belonging to the Alderman Con-
struction Company. Yesterday even-
ing when upon the first blast Of the
six o'clock whistle he refused to bulge
an inch, while attached to loaded
wagon, Jumbo had put in rather q
hard day and was hauling his full. load
toward the city from the lower bridge
when the whistle blew. With all the
decision and confidence Of a wronged
worker with an indisputable grew
ance, he at once came to- a halt and
refused to bulge. Smites and blows
were tried in vain. 1t was six o'clock
and the days work was done so far
as he was concerned. Some preju-
diced persons affirm that Jumbo's
halt was due more to his fatigue from
a long days work which began to tell
on him towards nightfall and ON this
particular occasion just as the whistle
blew. His owners say this is the real
explanation as Jumbo has never joined
union and never signified his inten-
ton Of doing so.

most dying condition and unable to
speak in an intelligent manner. Ply
sicians were called in and on examina-
ton it was found that his left leg
was broken in two places below the
knee, and his left collar bone fractured
besidese severe injuries to his head and
face. Mr.. Bennett still remains uncon-
scious but it is conjectured that he was
caught in the machinery while in the
act of starting the engine and dragged
to the floor by the betting coming in

duced to the critical condition which
he was found.

who were living here at that time
and can tell wonderful tale of the
excitement it caused thruout several
state, pronounced it a valuable specl-
men. 1t is said to be worth $50 or $40
but as the rage for these specimens
has subsidized, Mr.. Dahl will probably
not receive half as much, should he
decide to sell it. He also has much

in profits. 1t aims to oppose state leg
islation detrimental to their interests,
and to advocate and insist in securing
favorable legislation; to disseminate
trade information, encourage improve
ment in business methods and to con-
certedly oppose and overthrow the
practice on the part of manufacturers
of placing on the market packages
that are short in weight and count,
to protect their trade against adulter-
ated and unwholesome foods. The or
ganization is composed OF merchants
from every part Of the county, every
town being represented. Officers for

Iowa Falls, Sept. 19.--The barn and
contents ON the w. J.. Funk farm,
northwest of this city, were totally de-
stroyed Friday night entailing loss
of about $1,000. Returning home from
lodge, Mr.. Funk found one of the hors-
es a broncho, loose in the stable and
sought to drive the animal into box
stall, waving the lantern at the horse.
The latter declined to move and COM
menced to kick. One of it's feet struck
the lantern, forcing the hoof thru the
guards, smashing the globe and ignit-
ing the oil in the reservoir. The lam
tern stuck to the hoof, and with every
kick the burning oil was scattered over
the hay, straw and other inflammable
material in the stable. Seeing the
structure was doomed efforts were
made to rescue the stock and other per-
sonal property which was accomplish
ed to a large extent. considerable
grain and hay was consumed and some
of the implements. The loss is estimat-
ed at $1,000 with insurance for about
half that amount.
A bucket brigade put out the fire on
