Famous English Clocks.

At Buckingham palace the Augsburg
clock on the equeries' stairs is among
the earliest examples of the clock
makers art, and very beautiful is
the clock in the state dining room.
Hampton Court is also rich in histor-
ically interesting clocks, such as the
old astronomical one made for Henry
VIII, 1910, said always to stop when
any one who has long resided in the
palace dies.

Memorial Dax Exercises.

Memorial Day was celebrated in
this city last Monday with the usual
pomp and ceremony. 1t was perfect
day and early in the morning the peo-
pie from the country began to throDg
our streets. Marshal Tatum with his
aids, Messrs. P. S. Carter, Johh Kerr
and Frank Knisley, took charge of
the streets and marshalled the parade
in the following order:
First, Calvin Priest with gaily
decorated conveyance drawn by four
white horses, for the flower girls;
Second, Marshal Tatum;
Third, the Kinsley Cornet Band, II
strong;
Fourth, Captain Cole with a firing
squad of twelve guns, sons of vet
Grams:
Fifth, ten young ladies dressed in
white and bearing flowers, in charge
of L. r. Clark:
Sixth, twenty-five old soldiers, in
charge of Commander Trotler and
headed by j. P. Alcorn, bearing the
post National flag;
Seventh, the Uniformed Rank,
Knights of Pythias, twenty-five, com.
mauded by Captain Myrl Goddard.
Eighth, squad of four young ladies,
on horse back:
Ninth, carriages and wagons.
The procession was about the usual
length except that the column of vet
Grams grows shorter year by year
On reaching the outskirts of the city
carriages were taken to the Genet cry
gate where the procession reformed
and, headed by the band playing n
solemn dirge, marched to the soldiers
graves. The old soldiers service was
impressively conducted by the chap
lam, flowers we're scattered over the
graves, salutes were fired and the
ceremony concluded.
The services An the Congregational
chui CHI in the afternoon were unusual
ly brief. The ceremonies by the post
were dispensed with. Rev. Strong
gave the Invocation which was fol
lowed by music by the chorus. Sena-
tor Smith was introduce as the
orator of the day and for half al
hour held his audience spell by
his mastery eloquence. He is one OF
the best-info rmed and foremost ora
tors in the state and fully justified the
high reputation he is accorded. Rev
MacCartney pronounced the benedic-
ton, after which most of the audience
reported elsewhere in this paper.

If 1t Could Be Gotten.

When a boy tells me that he just
yearns for an education, that he longs
to go to college, but that he has no
one to help him as other boys have,
that, if he had a rich father to send
him to college, he could make some
thing of himself, know perfectly vel
that that boy does not yearn for an
education. but that he would simply
like to have it if it could be gotten
without much effort. He does not long
for it as Lincoln did When a boy, to-
day. says that he can not go to cc!-
lege, though deaf. dumb and bird
girls manage to do it, know that he
has such knack of seeing difficulties
that he will not only miss college. but
will probably also miss most of what
is worth while in life.-O. S. Marden

Iowa Falls, Nov. 5.--Professional
differences over the method of vacclnn-
ton In this city, have reached the per-
sonal encounter stage, and the old time
variance of opinion between the Two
schools of medicine has stirred up y
tempest in a tea pot, so to speak. Inc
trouble is all over the method OF Vaccl-
mating pupils in the public schools. II
appears that the homeopathic school
advocates the application of the virus
by taking 1t internally. TO this the old
school objects and insists on the usual
means of vaccination. Heated argu-
ments and personal application of en-
phasis between certain members OF the
profession have resulted, and advo-
Gates of both schools stand defiant,
and insist that their methods are cor
rect and endorsed by medical author
tiles, the state board Of health and
the courts.
The old school claims that the state
board of health has defined what vac
cination Is and that the local authors
ties should follow along that line and
not permit the newer method OF I'M
by internal application.
On the other hand the homeopathic ad-
vocates cite decisions in the Polk coun-
ty district court that grew out OF sim
ilar conditions in Des Moines last year
and holding that internal application

is in conflict with the decision OF the

govern, and so the war goes on.

GIVEN SOAP DIET.
Nevada Lad Made DeathIy Sick by
School Teachers punishment"


School Teachers Punishment"
Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, Nov. 5.--That a diet of
'Grandpa's tar soap would be an eff
fective preventive for swearing, for the
time being, at least, very few would
dispute, but as q remedy that is likely
to take well with the public. no matter
how persistently it is advertised, very
few would be likely to have faith IN
it's future. The remedy has been tried
in this neighborhood, however, and the
sample administered created quite q
commotion. Miss Agnes Green. a pop
ular little lady, who has been teaching
the Haley school, south of town for
the past year, has issued a strict edict
against swearing. One of her small
boys made up his mind that he want
ed to be a man the other day so said
Cd it," or something OF that sort.
A little girl, remembering what the
teacher had said about the use of pro-
family, at once busted herself and 1t
was not long before the young America
was UP before Miss Kelley, charged
with the use of profane language. The
boy plead guilty and the teacher DELHI
sentence. 1t was bad one when it did
come and the boy has not sworn since.
so far as known. The decree was that
he was to eat quantity OF tar soap.
The boy did it but became deathly sick
for a time. This created considerable
trouble in the schools Miss Green,
alarmed at her own indiscretion at
once reported the matter to the county
superintendent, with the explanation
that she had not the least idea of the
result Of such punishment Some of
the patrons of the school did not look
at the matter with the same degree of
allowance as others and appeared in
town the next day with the intention
of taking the matter before the grand
jury. Some of the more conservative
people talked them out Of this in a
short time and the matter was dropped.
They have accepted Miss Green's ex-
PLANTATION and she will probably teach
in the district another term. 1t is
safe to say, however that she will not
administer the same sentence to an
other boy and 1t Is equally safe to say
that the same by will never swear an
other word as long as that lady has
charge Of the school.
