Johnson Brigham Suggests Union Of
University, College and Normal.
Des Moines, April 4.-Stepping into
the breach of debate between the
friends and enemies of an educational
board of control in Iowa, johnson
Brigham, state librarian, has proposed
sort of compromise plan for consoli-
dation of educational management and
concentration of administration. His
views are set forth in letter to the
Register and Leader. and are said to
have tie approval of prominent friends
of all three institutions directly CON
cerned. Mr.. Brigham's plan con-
templates the following: A great
university, with a union of the. three
higher educational institutions, each
separately operated, but working to-
gether; the central seat of authority
and source of initiative to be at Iowa
City, the present seat of the State
university, but without any loss of
power or prestige now enjoyed by the
separate Institutions; each of the
three departments or institutions to
retain it's present faculty and trustees:
each of the three presidents to be an
ex-officio member of a central board of
control and three other members to be
chosen by the trustees OF the three in
situations, one from each, all to give
their entire time to the administration

TRAIT OF FASTENER.
Life In Tent on the Western Coast Is
Described by Mrs. Emily S. Hall of
WapeIIo county-Orange and Lemon
Trees in Full Bloom.

An umbrella is a mark of tender.
foot in California, according to a let
ter received by the Courier from Mrs.
Emily S. Hall, a Wapello county resi-
dent, who is located in Los Angeles
and is living in tent.
The letter gives an interesting in
sight into the pleasures of life in Cal
ifornia and in part is as follows:
1--WE are pleasantly located on Day
ton Heights in Los Angeles, Cal. We
are living in tent 16x1S feet, with a
good floor which is little bit ahead OF
the common tent with only mother
earth for flooring. Any family living
in Iowa as we live here would be con-
sidered thousand years behind the
times, but one is not in style here I'M
less they are camping out. 1t is very
common sight to see people pick up
their bed and walk as travellers every
where strap their blankets on their
shoulders and carry them right along
with them.
1.-THE women's parasols here are
about as large as palm leaf fan, and
when they see anyone with an UNI
brella they say there goes tender
foot. They size up one by the size of
their umbrella. OF course we have
only been here three weeks, but was
glad I was tenderfoot as far as the
size of the umbrella was concerned,
for such downpour Of rain as we
washed us away but for that AS it is
we lodged In drift pile away up here
on Dayton Heights. We are delighted
with California. The scenery Is sim
ply. grand. When we arrived here the
orange and lemon trees were in full
bloom and bearing We have walked
through those orchards and picked
ripe oranges and blossoms at the same
time from the same trees.
1.-THE blackberries and strawberries
are beginning to ripen. They are of a
superior quality. Garden vegetables
are in their prime. We have them in
abundance. Some Of our Iowa friends
feared we would not fare so we'll here
as In Iowa. We think it one of the
best places we have found, for plenty
of good things to eat and our appe.
tites are the very best. A laboring
man can buy good meal for 10
cents, all he can eat for Is cents, and
good enough for king for rs cents
The women here depend on the bak.
cry for their bread and pastries.
I'VE took fourteen mile drive
through the mountains Sunday after
noon. There are the loveliest wild
flowers now in bloom in the mountains
that ever saw. One can hardly be

is SO grand and awe-inspiring. We saw

EDDYvlLLE.

Eddyville, April 4.-The fire alarm
sounded at about 1925 o'clock Sunday
afternoon. the residence on North
Third street, occupied by G. w. Will
son. owned by Mrs. c. L. Clancy. of
Bussey, and known as the old Wilcox
property, having been discovered on
fire. The fire department started with
the engine, but as the streets were
very muddy they left the engine a
short distance from the fire and put
out the blaze with buckets before it
had gained much Roadway. The fire
was caused from a defective fue. 1t
was found that the fiue had been built
years ago on a wooden bracket with
no brick in the bottom, and the fire
originated by sparks falling to the
bottom Of the f1ue. The damage will
amount to but few dollars, but might
have been much worse.

sOUTHERNER's GOOD FORTUNE.

There is no happier man in this
whole wide world today than Sam A.
Hoover, of Greensboro. N. c., who is
receiving the congratulations of his
friends upon his fortunate find of
something better than gold mines or
oil wells. Mr.. Hoover in a letter to
a friend in Ottumwa, writes:
Three months ago I was greatly
distressed by nasal catarrh and entire
deafness in the right ear. The labor
of hawking and scraping to get my
throat and nasal passages free from
the foul secretions deposited there,
might be about equal to that of six
mule team with a roadscraper to get
the earth from the roadside to the
center.
purchased an outfit of Hyomei and
Hyomei balm and as a result of it's use
are all free from secretions of any sort,
only as Nature designed, and my hear
ing in both ears is nearly as acute as
it ever was"
There is no disagreeable stomach
dosing in using Hyomei; just breathe
it and it's pure fragrance will kill the
catarrhal germs in the head, throat
and lungs. Hyomei balm used in con-
nection with Hyomei, will cure the
worst case of catarrhal deafness.
The complete outfit costs but ST.,
extra bottles are only SO cents. Ask
W. L. Sargent to show you the strong
guarantee under which he sells Hyo-
mel. 1t costs nothing unless it cures.
