REPORT OF IANGsroN SCHOOL. For
NOVEMBER. 1905.

NOVEMBER. 1905.
While the enrolment has not
increased the past month we feel
that better work has been done on
the part of those who have been in
regular attendance.
We feel proud of the fact that
an increase of interest can be
noticed among those of the advan.
ced grade. The percent of stten-
dance. about So. is a little below
that of the previous month.
This falling of in the percent is
due in part of sickness and to negli-
gence of one or two over whom, on
account of age the truant officer
has no control. We feel that the
worthy Board and Superintendent
are sparing no pains in having our
school be what it should be.
Good citizenship depends upon
intelligence for it's existence.
The object of a school is to make
of all who will accept instruction
useful and intelligent creatures.
In view of these facts is it not
wise in parents to send their sons
and daughters to school?
Cooperation of parents with the
teacher is something to slightly
thought of by parents.
That teacher has never entered
a school room who can obtain the
best results deprived of the 90
operation of fathers and mothers.
Parents urge upon your children
to study at home;-urge obedience
upon them.
By SO doing you are cooperating
in a way that your children are
benefited for life.
Parents upon your efforts the
destiny of your children in large
degree depends
II you love your cnllofen JOIN
us in trying to help them. Send
in all you have below twenty.one
years of age and let us try by CON-
bined efforts to do them good.

children loosing their golden
moments. Time is too precious to
be trifed with.
Their school days will soon be
passed forever They will not

Attorneys For Marion Druggist
Institute Proceeding New
to Iowa Courts
MUCH INTEREST IN OUTCOME
Interesting Question as to Legal
Method of Drawing Grand and Petit
Juries Brought Up In Litigation In
the Linn County court-News of
The State.
Special to Tlmes-Republioan.


Cedar Rapids, May 12.-Because the
grand jury was illegally drawn at
torneys for c. c. Beck, proprietor of
a Marion drug store. indicted by the
last grand jury for maintaining q
nuisance, have filed motion in the
district court to set aside the indict-
ment. This proceeding is probably
without an equal in the history of
Iowa courts and the outcome will be
the case are about as follows:
After drawing the grand jurors for
the January term of court 1t was dis
covered that two talesmen had been
selected from Maine township, one
from Warbeek and the other from
Central City. AS the law provides that
there shall be only one juror from
each township the court ordered new
jury drawn. In their motion to set
aside the indictment attorneys for
Beck allege that in drawing the sec
ond jury two names were included that
were drawn for the first. This Is one
of the grounds on Wnlcn tne Indictment
should be set aside. The other set
forth In their petition states that after
the April grand jury was impaneled
the defendant had no opportunity to
challenge the grand jury which he is
allowed by law.
AS to the charge that two names
drawn in the first jury appear in the
second. some of the court officials
state that such thing could very like
ly occur at any time. hence II such Is
the case, 1t would hardly seem that
the same would invalidate the jury. AS
to the allegation that defendant did
not have the privilege Of challenging
the jury, an attorney is authority for
the statement that IL such were the
case, that alone would be sufficient to
set aside the Indictment.

Des Moines, May 12.-Adjutant Cen
eral Thrift and his office force are just
now busy receiving the supplies from
the general government for the state
troops. There are about three car
loads Of material which has to be
handled by the adjutants office and
reshipped to the companies Of the Iowa
National Guard. 1t is no small task.
The clothing has to be unpacked and
panies and then reshipped. There will
be in another day or two more clothing
in the state arsenal than there is in
any clothing store In the city of Des
Moines. Some of 1t too takes up a
great deal of room. The dress caps are
packed in separate boxes and for that
reason take up great deal Of room,
tho not making great deal Of weight
As soon as this task is completed the
guard will be fitted out with nearly
complete uniforms The shirts pur-
chased from an eastern firm will also
arrive soon.
Adjutant General Thrift has rented a
house on Eleventh street on the West
Side, just north OF Forest avenue, in
one of the best residence sections of
the city. The house is new one and
will not be completed for two or three
weeks yet. Mrs. Thrift is now visit
ing friends and relatives elsewhere and

\, Northwood, May II. - The second
time in three days a cyclonic storm
wrought havoc in and around North
wood Thursday. The damage done by
Tuesdays storm had just been repair
ed Thursday afternoon, when another
tornado passed along the east side OF
the town, leaving everything in ruins
behind it. The most damage was done
at the farm of c. Fl. Atwood, which
joins Northwood on the southeast, and
at William Buth's place few miles
northeast of town. At both of these
places the barns were destroyed, but
owing to some freak of the storm, the
houses were left intact. 1t is UNDER
stood that several horses were killed
or injured at Mr. Buth's place, but the
report can not be fully confirmed, on
account Of the damage done to the
telephone wires. The windmills on
several farms were blown down, with
out touching the. barns beside them.
1t is also rumored that considerable
damage was done further north, but no
particulars can be obtained at this
time. The damage done within the
city limits, however, was very slight.
