Miss Estella Hepp has been elected
to position in the schools at Correc-

Stella has been one of our most popu-

schools. We are elated to see Stella
advancing but this promotion comes
through merit and is only the natural
result of strong work in the school

| G. E. Mertz has again shown TO
the world, his unselfishness. When
last week, he was called upon by Mrs.
l.. A. Beers who was making a can
vass to raise funds to paper and paint
the United Brethren church here, he
donated the paper that was needed.
AS some twenty dollars worth of ma
terial is required, the extent of the
gift is readily perceived. Big hearted
men like Gene are not every day COM
modities in towns the size of Gray,
and we believe he would not show the
least hesitancy if solicited by the Me-
thodist church people to donate the
paint for their edifice. The building
needs it and besides s.The Lord loveth
a cheerful giver.'
| We have often heard of one having
'snakes in his boots" but it was up
to Lou Groteluschen to have the ex-
perience of having rats in these ex-
tremities. Monday he saw large rat
headed for the sidewalk on which he
was standing. Now Louie is always a
lover of sport so he took after Mr..
rat and landed blow with his pedal
extremity on the solar plexus of the
fleeing animal. which made it ex-
tremely angry. Round one was Louis.
Round two. Rat eet-ven-ski fastened
his teeth in Louie's hide Cow hide)
and for several minutes it was ques-
ton who would take this round.
Louie swung his lower appendages
vigorously. After much sparring for
points, he finally got his antagonist
on the run. With a Herculean eff
fort he delivered fatal blow. tipped
his hat to the spectators, and like a
Roman gladiator of old, marched on
| to other trays.

Court House Talk.

Our appeal to the voters of Audu-
bon County in our last issue have
brought out the following petition
which is generally signed.
PETITION.
10 the members of the Board of
Supervisors,
Audubon County, Iowa:
The undersigned,
Citizens and tax payers of Audu-
bon County, Iowa, respectfully pro-
test to your honorable body against
the expenditure of the sum of $4,000.
or any other sum, for the purpose
of building vault room and repair
ing the present Court House; and
state that in our judgment the ex-
Pendlture of any money is an abso-
lutte waste, for the reason that the
present court house can not be
made safe receptacle for the rec
ords of Audubon County; that the
present building is peculiarly liza
BILE to fire, and that in such event,
in the present condition of all
vaults, the entire public records
sustaining the title to all personal
and real property in Audubon
stroyed, and no amount of money
could replace them. That the pres
ent court house is disgrace to
Audubon County, and no repairing
of same can be made except at the
expense of the tax payers, and no
good can thereby be accomplished.
We therefore, ask your honora-
BILE body to refrain from any expen-
diture whatever until the people
shall have had chance to other
wise direct; and we respectfully Pc
tition this honorable board to sub
NIT to the electors of this county at
a special election to be held on the
second Tuesday in September, 1905,
a proposition to issue bonds to an
amount fixed by said Supervisors,
for the purpose of erecting a new
Court house in Audubon, and a
County High School at Extra, Iowa,
believing that large majority of
the people of this county 30 desire.

DR.. ANDERSON SAYS
ATHLETICS ARE beneficial

New York, Dec. 2s.-The generally ac-
cepted statement that college athletes
shorten their lives by excessive exercise
was attacked yesterday by DR.. w. c.
Anderson OF Yale. While addressing the
member sof the society OF college gymna-
sium directors at the New York Athletic
club he declared that participation in
sports is beneficial I'm almost every case.
To emphasize his argument he presented
statistics covering many years. He also
stated that the statistics proved conclu-
sively that the heart is not injured and
that a larger percentage OF athletes than
OF those who live a sedentary life do not
die OF lung trouble.
In discussing the relation OF various
conditions OF the heart TO muscular ex-
erclse DIT Meylon OF Columbia university.
said that there was a decidedly higher
rate of cardiac pulsations In speed tests
than I'm strength tests and as a result the
former. n not conducted by an able. care

DIR. Philnps OF Amherst college, admit
ted that the athlete. as a rule ranks low
er as a scholar than the man who does
not train.
He also called attention 10 the fact that
so much attention is given 10 the athlete
who falls below the required percentage;
whereas mparatively little time ie given
TO pulling up still higher the honor man.

EFFORT TO Be MADE TO
REMODEL EXTRACTION LAWS

Washington. Dec. 2s.-It Is probable
that steps will soon he taken by the de-
partment Of state 10 secure a revision and
remodelling Of the existing extradition
treaties with France and Germany.
Recent events have drawn attention to
some very serious defects in the only con-
ventlons and It Is feared that before long
France and Germany will become havens
OF refuge for certain class OF American
criminals. In n recent case it was discov-
cred by the French authorities that there
was absolutely no provision In the Amer
lean extradition treaty FOR the surrender
Of n prisoner charged with grand larceny.
The treaty itself Is OF ancient date having
been made ms and though It was
amended In 1915 and again I'm 1856, the
omission was never supplied. The treaty
with Prussia and the German states
made I'm 1862 likewise fails 10 include
grand larceny as an extraditable crime.
