Purifying cistern and Tank Water.

One of the recent good ideas that
have been promulgated by the Dept
of Agriculture is the discovery that
impure and bad-smellin2 water is
often caused by the growth within it
of microscopic forms of plant life
called plant algane. and that sulphate
of copper. blue vitriol. quickly de-
stroys these germs together with all
disease germs. 1t will keep water
sweet in farm cisterns, water troughs
and tanks and do no injury to the
health of any one using the water for
washing or drinking. Only a very
small quantity should be used, dis
solved and stirred we'll. If not enough
is used to make the water sweet a
little more should be added. A bit as
large as a grain of wheat will suffice
for a barrel of water.
This recipe has been successfully
tried in watering tanks of our city,
completely preventing the foul scum
that heretofore compelled washing
out every week. West Union Gazette.

Farmer Seriously Injured.

Charley Odden. we'll to do farmer
living in Glenwood township about
four miles eas. of the city on the
Waukon road. met with a painful
accident on Saturday morning. which
will Law him up for some time, and
possibly permanently cripple him. He
starred out on horseback to drive in
his COWS, and when about mile from
the house rode into pasture where
number of horses and colts were kept
The horses started to run toward him,
and when tnev came close he yelled
at them, fearing that they might run
him down. Just as he did so a
three -year-old colt swung around and
kicked up its heels. one of them
striking him on the knee. mashing it
almost to pulp. tearing the
ligaments loose and fracturing the
bones in several places. Although
suffering intensely he crawled quite
a distance toward the house until his
wife, alarmed at his long absence,
went after him. and helped him in.
Doctor SweZey was called and gave
him attention and he is doing as well
as can be expected, but will be con-
fined to his bed for some time.

The Bryan Lecture.

The coming of Hon. VIM. Jennings
Bryan to Decorah had been awaited
with much pleasure and anticipation
bv his numerous friends and admires
throughout the county since the first
announcement that he was to appear
was made. On Saturday large
number came in from about the county
and adjoining towns to see the great
orator and to hear his great lecture.
Many were disappointed that he did
not speak in the afternoon. and had
to return to their homes with only an
opportunity to shake his hand and
speak few words to him. as they did
at the Winneshiek hotel during the
afternoon.
The Grand oprea house was packed
in the evening to hear his famous
lecture OH 1.-THE Value of an Ideal. ut
was his first appearance in Decorah
and those who were expecting a rare
intellectual treat were not disappoint-
ed. His attractive personality, his
complete mastery of his subject and
his unsurpassed oratory have made this
lecture perhaps more enthusiastically
received throughout the country than
anv other before the public. His high
minded ideals. pictured in sentences
that sink deep into ones mind. and
illumined with bursts of wit and
humor OF the rarest quality. combined
in making his lecture great master
piece. and the repeated applause of
the audience denoted that it was
received with great pleasure.
Mr.. BRYAN is as much success.
If not more. on the lecture platform
than as political speaker. and the
opDortunitv to hear him was greatly
appreciated bv our people.

Bradstreet's last report gives the
following cheerful comment upon
financial and business conditions:
September opens with fall buying
apparently at the maximum. Marked
activity in all lines Of industry, liberal
buying bv railroads Of rails and sup
plies, currency shipment to country
to move crops increasing. and with
confidence as to outlook for trade pre-
viously noted, strengthened by sue
cessful issue of Russo Japanese peace
negotiations. These latter. jointly
with increased pressure. of supplies of
agricultural products at leading mar
kets. had distinct effect upon many
commodity values. the tendency he
ing toward lower level in cotton,
live stock. potatoes and butter. 1t is
to be noted. however. that home pro-
ducts are strong and higher on the
week.
Something like the transference of
fall trade activity from west to east
is indicated in reports that house
trade is less active relatively in for
mer section Ov ing to return home Of

markets have bee benefited bv influx
of out of town buyers.

CITY SCHOOLS OPEN MONDAY.
A Card From the Superintendent, With
the List of Teachers for the Year.

the List Of Teachers for the Year.
The City Schools open next Monday
Sept. l1th. and for the next nine anG
a half months should occupy the time
and attention of about 1000 children
Of our city.
All parents supporting our public
school can make no better investment
for their children than to give them
an opportunity to attend school from
the age of 5. until they have finished
the IL grades provided bv our course
of study. If the child is in normal
health.
The city amply provides for tile
education of every child under its
jurisdiction and is anxious that ii
should receive the best possible train
ing. The constitutional provision that
all persons must contribute to the
support OF the public schools logically
implies that no person should be per.
mitted to defeat the purpose of the
public law by forcing their children
at an early age to. become bread win
ners.
The common school does not only
attempt to give the rudiments OF an
education but it's ultimate purpose is
to teach the children how to live
ri9hteously. healthy and happy. to in
.culcate love for truth. justice, and
beauty. building of character is the
real mission of our public schools and
the reason for the large expenditures
for their maintenance. School author
tiles feel the important obligation
placed upon them in securing the very
best teachers fitted to carrv out this
work.
We ask the earnest cooperation of
every parent In securing large reg.
ular attendance. Make it q point to
send your children next Monday
morning. Send them on time, continue
this throughout the year whenever
possible. We cannot too often repeat
that punctual and regular attendance
is necessary for good results in school
work. We hope to enroll q larger
percentage Of children OF school age
this year than formerly, It is my
opinion that only about 55 per cent
OF the children of school age have
been pupils of our public school,
Our schools are opening quite we'll
equipped the buildings have been
thoroughly cleaned and manv improve
ments made. in short everything with.
in means has been done to make the
buildings attractive and hygienic.
The work given will be interesting
and profitable. The High School
teachers and branches they teach are
as follows:
Mr.. Mahaffy-EIistory and Algebra
Mr.. observation-disclosures
Miss Mueller-English
Miss Moulton-German and Latin
Mr.. Johnson-Civics and Mathe-

Special teachers are
