Highly FIattering Notice
Of American Minister.

Washington, June 26.-United
States Minister John Barrett has
long been quoted freely In the papers
on any and all subjects from Worlds
Fairs and worlds diplomacy TO high
tariff and chills and fever at the
Isthmus. The real ability and ente: =
prise Of the man as a publicity pro-
moter-ior himself at least-is just
now understood
When he was transferred from Pan
ANA TO Colombia a Panama paper
printed a very eulogistic editorial
article concerning MIR. Barrett's ser
vices to the two republics. 1t said:
"There is little doubt that there
would have been serious misundsr-
standing between the two Govern
ments last summer II he Mr.. Barrett
had not poured oil on the troubled
waters. Although the American
newspapers make most OF the credit
to the Taft agreements to Others it
is we'll known that the success OF the
negotiations was in no small meas
ure due to Mr.. Barrett before the
Secretary OF War arrived
Much more OF the same sort was
printed laudatory Of she Hon. j ohm
Barrett as diplomat and apatriot.
That was on May II.
The same paper on June 10 said:
1.-THE Star and Herald will now state
the very laudatory article was left
at this office by Mr.. Barrett's private
secretary and we have every reason
to suppose was written by MIR. Bar
rett himself, his powers OF seli-lauds.
ton having long been the envy OF
those seeking diplomatic position"

School Notes.
BY sUPT W. T cARRINGroy


BY sUPT W. CARRINGToN.
Itisencoursging to note that most
cities, towns and school districts are
employing teachers at increased
salaries.
The amount OF state school moneys
to be spportioned in July will be
about $4,000 more than last year.
The per capita will be about 81 80
this year.
Kentucky is sgitsting the question
Of establishing a system Of state nor
NAL schools. State supt. Caring
ton recently attended the Kentucky
State Teachers Association and ex.
planned to them the Missouri system
than which he thinks there is none
better.
The State Department Of Educa-
tion will shortly revise the state
course Of study. The old course was
based on the adopted books. Since
there will not be state Uniformity OF
textbooks, the course OF study will
be arranged 80 as to adjust itself to
any good texts,
In the recent examinations held by
the State Superintendent, 90 differ.
emit persons wrote. There were 900
papers. About hall OF these were
graded above passing. As result,
eleven certificates were issued. Many
did not attempt to finish the ex.
animation.
We may expect much larger at
tendance In the high schools the
coming year. The number Of pupils
graduating from the grades Is fifty
per cent larger than last year. The
best test OF the efficiency Of any
school is the percentage Of Its grad
yates entering schools OF higher
grade.
The state institutions are main
tanning summer schools for teachers
as usual this year. They are fuller
than ever. There are nearly 600 at
Warrensburg, 400 at Kirksville, $50
atCape Girardeau and 800 at Column
bia. All approved schools have
large attendance also.
1t is a good suggestion that the
commissions recently appointed to
locate the two new normal schools
make as one OF the conditions OF To-
eating a requirement shat the public
schools Of the place be offered for
model and training school purposes.
The towns or cities securing the 10.
cation should pledge the state to
main tain the public schools on q
model basis for these purposes.
There have been quite aiew changes
in the superintendencies Of some Of
the smaller city schools OF the state
A few good superintendent are retir-
ing and engaging In other business
As rule, the schools will not suffer
thereby, for many very able young
men are promoted to positions Of
greater usefulness and responsibility.
They will be equal to the situations
and conditions will in nearly every
instance be better.

SEEMING Out the Carp.

The millpond at Forestville was
drained Sunday for the purpose OF
SEEMING out the carp which have been
increasing in such numbers OF late
that they are threatening to destroy
or drive away every other kind of fish
in that part of the Maquoketa. The
worS was hardly a success however,
for carp know thing or two, and as
the waters went down, so did the carp
and when the bottom was reached they
had disappeared beneath the nice soft
mud that forms the bottoms of that
part of the Maquoketa. The draining
was done under the supervision OF the
deputy game warden and although
the seiner's fingers itched badly as they
threw back four pound trout all there
was left for them to do was to scratch
their fingers hard, for what the game
warden said, went. Quite few
carp were captured. strawberry

DELAYED twenty-five Years.

A postal card mailed more than
twenty-five years ago was received
recently by W. G. Smith, manager
of the Iowa Telephone company at
Waterloo. It was written by the
secretary of the company at Davenport

months and four days.

manager of the Iowa Telephone COM
pany, Waterloo. Iowa, and signed by
Mr.. Hanson, secretary Of the COM
pany at Davenport, under date Of
April Z. 1883. The card bore the

A DisgracefmI Affair.

One of the most disgraceful affairs
that has taken place in this city for
some time was the disturbance in
West Waukon last week, which is
supposed to come under the head of
charivari. Boys and girls gathered in
large numbers and during the mar
riage ceremony commenced to make a
most unearthly noise and kept it NJ
during the entire evening. Some OF
these children came of families who
lay claim to responsibility, while
others are encouraged in this kind OF
lawlessness by parents who think their
children should have a good time ir.
respective of the means emplo yed. AL
attempt was made to get hold of a
police officer, but search failed te
locate any. 1t is hoped that should
this kind of an outbreak be again
attempted here will be some arrests
made and give someone a chance tC
repent at leisure. Standard.

Giving the Boys a Chance.

A good old gentleman told US the
other day that he had moved to town
to give the boys chance. He said
that he wanted them to go to school
and not be compelled to work as
hard as he had worked. We asked
him how the experiment had succeed
ed and he said the boys had already
learned to smoke cigars. swear. shake
dice and make fun of their father
and other retired farmers as old hay
seeds. "rubins," etc. and from recent
indications he had no idea they would
ever hurt themselves with work.
They hadn't learned to drink yet,
but would have been up in that no
doubt if there had been open saloons
in town to school them. 1t isn't so
important that boy who does not
want an education and will not i'm
prove it is highly educated. Educa-
tion spoils as many boys as work.
Many young chaps think they want
to be lawyers or editors or preachers,
when all that ails them is laziness.
Town is a poor place to educate
boy who doesn't want an education
and has no ambition. -Traer Star

About Cutting Weeds.
A subscriber at Bertram writes I:

A subscriber at Bertram writes:
| cat present the farmers of Bertram
township would like to know what
the law is In regard to cutting
thistles. When must they be cut, and
if not cut by the 10th day of August.
has any person authority to go into a
field not belonging to them and cut
thistles and tax the expense to the
land. Please publish what the law
is in regard to cutting thistles Of any
kind.
And what is the law in regard to
| cutting thistles on rented farm.
Does the owner or the renter cut the
thistles.
The law says that weeds must be
cut before the 18th of August. and
| that includes all noxious weeds.
Along the highways the cutting must
be done by the owners of the pro-
perty adjacent. 1t would not be
possible for man to go into another
mans field and cut weeds and TAX"
them up to the owner Of the field. II
that were the law it would lead to
all manner Of bad complication.
The road overseers are the ones to
see to it that the weeds are cut II
the owners do not attend to these
duties the supervisors can order the
weeds cut, and tax the costs to the
property. On the rented farm it is
the duty of the occupant to keep the
premises in lawful order, that is to
keep the weeds cut. But this can be
made matter of agreement the owner
and the tenant. In the absence CT
such agreement. we should think the
tenant assumes the duty of keeping
the premises in proper order, which
includes keeping the weeds cut, ac-
cording to law. Cedar Rapids Re-
