AN EDUCATIONAL JOURNEY.
Legislative Commission Visiting State
Universities.

Des Moines, May 13.-The legisla-
tive commission, which is investigat-
ing the feasibility of establishing an
educational board of control, will leave
Sunday night for Minneapolis to visit
the state university of that state. Thu
commission will then go to Madison
to visit the Wisconsin state univer--
sity, and from there to Northwestern,
at Evanston.
At Vermillion, S. D.. the committee
gathered much valuable information.
1t returned impressed with the idea
that i'll that state there is not that
definitely fixed public sentiment
which is characteristic of Iowa. in
educational matters at least. The
ideas of South Dakota are formative.
This makes it impossible for the
commission accurately to judge OF
the effectiveness of the board of con-
troll system in that state. The prin-
cipal complaint there is that the
board is in politics. 1t is appointed
by the governor. 1t has charge of
the university. and the four normal
schools and the agricultural college.
Owing to the fact that the presidency
of the university is about to change
the commission found the educational
interests of the state in rather a dis
organized state.

the disposition of his body. after death.

oxED HAULED TRAINS.
Huntington Hawkeye.l


It is not often one hears Of oxen
being used to haul a railway train.
But such an incident happened in the
early history of the Carthage branch
of the Burlington route. A local rail-
road man was telling of a recent visit
he had down on the branch, when he
got to talking over all times.
George Goodell was agent at the
time at Colusa, where the incident
occurredp. One of those old-time
trains, engine, baggage car and two
passenger coaches got stalled In a
snow drift right near the station. They
did their best to get out of the snow.
shovelled and tried to back the engine
out, but to no avail. Finally two boys
came along, who had been attracted
by the crown watching the efforts OF
the railroad men. One of them was
John Bailey and the other was his
brother Iris Bailey. They stood
watching it for awhile, and then sug-
gested that they had three yoke Of
oxen nearby and could help haul the
train out of the drift with them. The
railroad laughed at them, but finally
.Godell said, Come ahead and try, any
way And the boys hitched up their
three yoke Of oxen to the ropes at
tached to the cars, and pulled the cars
out of the snow. But when they want
ed to drag out the locomotive also, the
railroad people laughed at them. How
ever. they let the boys have a chance
at it. So while the oxen pulled away,
the engine was baacked' up and sure
enough they got her out Of the snow.
Conductor Clifford is well known
Burlington passenger conductor OF the
old days, and is we'll acquainted here.
John Bailey is retired farmer and
Iris Bailey is still farming, both being
wellknown down Carthage way. Good
ell is now general superintendent OF
the Chicago and Great Western road at
MINNEAPOLIS.
