School Notes.

The second week of the public scoool
finds students and teachers nicely
started on their years work.
A shower-bsth is being put into the
basement of the High School building
for the benefit of the foot ball boys.
There are 1O4 students in the High
School, about 26 of whom come from
the country.
There is no recess in the High
School, and only an intermission in
the lower rooms.
A regular English course is being
adopted by Miss Stearns in the High
School. New first year English books
and new rhetorics are being put in.
The outlook of the high School foot
ball team is very encouraging this
year. Though they will not organize
for perhaps week yet, they are al
ready doing very good practicing I'M
der the direction of Prof. Mantz, who
is an exrfootball player and college
athlete. Under such q coach, the boys
could not but do their best. There are
goodly number of veteran players
from last years team, SO nearly al
ways successful, among whom are
Green, Gardner, Horning, Bagley and
others. Besides these there are many
new candidates for position on the
team, some of which are the dustin
big fellows" from the country, harden
ed with the summers work. Several
offers for games have been received
but the schedule has not been entirely
arranged. The team will be strictly
high school, no outsiders being allow
ed. Great enthusiasm is shown by all
and second successful season is
expected.

What to Read.

A farmer, asks us to name a suit
able list of reading matter for himself
and family. There should first be
Bible, not one of those family affairs,
richly gilded and always looking as
though it had just left the hands OF
the publisher, but one showing signs
of wear and tear. This book, regard
less of creed or sect, contains more
wholesome truth and reliable informa-
ton for the average man, woman and
child, more good business maxims and
trite proverbs, more poetry and splen-
did diction, more tragedy, sweeter love
scenes, more of what we call gray
matter, than any other book ever
printed. Every one is benefited by
its teachings. Then we would suggest
the home paper, the one that gives
all the local news, and see to 1t that
it's editor always makes 1t clean
enough so that you do not have to
censor it before it goes into the hands
vi YOUR ~O''S
one of the large weekly papers, giving
the general news of the world which
are now furnished so very cheaply.
In place of this one may we'll substi-
tute a daily or tri-weekly il the
rural mail route is available. Next
should come at least two good agri-
cultural papers, not papers published
/ 200 miles away, but such as treat OF
agricultural conditions prevailing
where you live. We would then add
one of the good magazines OF the day
and a ladies' journal for the wife and
girls, and by writing to the state ex-
pertinent director you can have all
the bulletins of the station sent you
free of cost. OF course, this list may
be added to with great profit, but as
given it is within the reach of almost
any farmer, costing not to exceed W,
unless the daily is taken, and there is
no money invested by the farmer
which will bring him in so large and
sure a return.-Joe Trigg in Iowa

Burned by a Guy Wire.

Grown people should remember that
they should not touch wire on the
street unless they are sure it is not
connected somewhere with a dynamo
or battery. And children should be
taught to flee from loose wires as they
would from a snake. Several accid-
ents down at Atlantic recently, endan-
gered the lives of a number of people.
Two linemen received the shock from
1000 volt wire and were badly injur-
ed. And according to the Telegraph,
one of the children of Mr.. Riggs with
two others of the neighborhood were
playing in the street, when suddenly
Mr.. Riggs heard cries from the child
rem and noted their peculiar actions.
They seemed to be dazed and were tot
tering around over the street. They
tried to tell him that they were hurt
from a wire, but he not believing that
possible, caught hold of a loose guy
wire that was hanging from an electric
light pole and was instantly knocked
down. The guy wire had broken, and
come in contact with q live electric
light wire. it was a case similar to
to the one that happened few weeks
ago when dog was killed by a live
wire. The children and Mr.. Riggs
were burned about the breast and the
hands where the wire struck them, but
nothing serious will result

School Boards and MatrImony.

Iowa school boards are again wrest-
ling with the resignation evil among
teachers. Matrimony has entered into
the plans of many women teachers and
when the season for beginning school
arrives sRere are numerous and unex-
pected vacancies. In some cases bind
ing contracts have been signed by re-
signing teachers and pledges have
been exacted for the fulfillment of con-
tracts. But to no purpose; those wom-
en- are seldom able to resist the oppor-
tunities to better the condition of i'm
Fortunate men. After all. the men are
to blame for interfering with contracts
with school boards. Until man quits
insisting on lovely woman entering
the state of matrimony, school boards
are going to continue to be "up
against it. "-Carroll Herald.
What a relief it would be to some
school boards we know-outside of
Audubon county-if some Emporium
ate men" would assist them in getting
some designations to wrestle with and
accept.

The Corn Fields of Iowa.

Hon. John Cownie, a prominent
member of the board of control of the
state institutions and for many years
successful farmer, is not so optimis-
tic as some other people in regard to
the crop in Iowa this year. In a re-
cent interview, Mr.. Cownie said that
while there is large acreage of corn
in Iowa that gives promise of an ex-
cellent yield, there is also large acre
age that will be disappointing when
husking is completed. These corntields
appear promising from the highway
or from a railway car, but when ex-
amined by close observer who under
stands corn culture at its best, it is
seen that the stand is very uneven,
there being large number. of hills
without stalk, still more with only
one stalk, great many with two
stalks, limited number with the ideal
condition of three stalks in each hill,
q good many with four or even more
stalks, which is even worse than only
one or two stalks in a hill, for, in
stead Of good sized ears, these thick
set hills will produce only nubbins.

Going Away to School.

These are the days when many OF
the young men and young women
gather up their books and other
Craps" and HE away to school.
Some are just beginning the course
in college, while others are looking
forward to graduation about the time
the roses bloom again. Those who
are just entering upon the work will
have a new and varied experience
and look forward with intense long
ing to the time when they will be old
and wise enough to wear the cap and
gown. Those who are about complet-
ing the course will look back with
sincere regret for the pleasures that
have come and gone, but forward
with hope and courage to find new
and larger fields to conquer. Could
we return to any period in life and
take up the work again, it would be
to the time to enter college. We are
glad to see that so many of the young
people of this vicinity are taking
advantage of the excellent opportuni-
ties of the present day to secure a
thorough education. On Monday
there was nearly a coach load of them
that left for the different schools.
Among them we're Elmer McKarahan,
who goes to Armour Institute, Chica-
go to take up Mechanical Engineering;
Drusa Ross who enters Iowa College
at Grinnell as a freshman; Robert
Rachel who goes to the commercial
department of Simpson College at
Indianola; Louis Watson who Is a
sophomore there and HELEN. Walburn
who enters there as freshman this
year. On the evening train Sam and
Ralph Conybeare went to Cedar
Rapids to enter upon their work in
Coe College. On Wednesday,, five
more left for the State University at
Iowa City: James Gamer on to take up
the course in law; Will Kile to study
medicine; John Krick to study dentis-
try; Olive Gardner to pursue liter
airy course; Dora Larsen to special
ize in science; and Miss Eva Luse to
study the German language. Miss
Cora Sampson went to Mt. Vernon
Tuesday where she enters upon the
work of the sophomore year. Doubt
less there are others going to school
elsewhere whose names and destina-
ton we have not learned.

Suicide of Young Woman.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Nov. Miss
Emily Ensign, of Youngstown, o., a
student in the freshman class at Vassar
College, was found drowned about l:90
this morning 10 the lake on the college
grounds by searching party which had
been organized to look for her. 1t is
believed that homesickness caused the
girl, who was 10 years old, to take her
own life In secluded spot near the
lake a book was found, inside of which
was discovered Miss Ensign's Open-faced
gold watch. The searchers became
alarmed and graphing hooks were Sc
cured, with which the lake was dragged
This resulted in bringing the body up.
Miss Ensign had suffered greatly from
hOmeslckness for some time. About
three weeks ago she became so lonely
that her mother came on from YOungs
town and stayed with her for some time,
leaving about ten days ago, after pur-
susding the girl to remain and finish her
course. II is known also that Miss En-
sign had suffered great deal from head
aches OF late and numerous headache
powders were found in her room.
youngstown, o., Nov. 7.-"Pray for
me, mother" were the words 10 letter
received yesterday by Mrs. G. A. En-
sign, mother of Emily Ensign, who com
mitted suicide at Vassar College by
jumping into the lake on the campus.
The girl was talented, being an artist of
some ability. She stood high in her
classes. Her father is a well-known
druggist.

Senator German.

The interview with Senator German pub
lished yesterday. in which the Senator re-
piled 10 Governor Warfeld. was another
source of satisfaction to the democrats, and
il was said by the managers that his presenta-
ton Of the case and his answers to the obJec-
tions made by Governor Warfield constituted
the strongest argument yet presented from
the democratic standpoint. Among the or
gani alton people it was contended that Mr..
German had put Governor Wsrfeld in posi-
ton where, II this amendment is defeated, he
cannot escape responsibility, and his raps at
Attorney General Bryan were also applauded
by the friends of the amendment.
Had Mr.. German, il was claimed, had an
opportunity to reply to the Governor earlier
it would have b en- the means OF making
many votes for the amendment The reply,
they declare. is stronger and more effective
by reason Of its temperate and digni6ed Ian
guage and style.
The senior Senator WAS not in the city yes
terday and will not be here until after the cleo
tion. As yet he has made no answer to Sena-
{ Rayner's letter extending challenge for
a joint debate, and his friends assert that his
ignoring Of the junior Senator is a crushing
answer.-[ Baltimore Sun.
