About Senator DoIliver.

Hon. +. ID. Brigham, state labor
commissioner, who used to go To
school to Senator Dolliver, says that
after the big boys had pitched out
four teachers in succession young
Dolliver came along and was employ
ed to try his hand in a scrap with the
boys. Referring to his appearance he
says that the present distinguished
senator twas "a funny looking chap,
when he came to their house to see
about the school. There was q broad
expanse Of daylight between the high
lines Of his high trousers andthelowest
extremity OF his vest. His pants were
SO short that they we're not in danger
of getting wet around the bottom in
fording any small stream, and his
coat sleeves came abouthalfway from
his elbows to his wrists. He had Just
drifted out from West Virginia to II.
linois and wanted to make money to
take n law course. Matters went
all right for about half the term when
one of the big boys baked and Dolli-
yer yanked him across his desk hold.
ing him by the collar while he pound.
ed him with a big ruler. Five other
boys joined in and you couldn't tell
legs from arms, or teacher from boys
for about three minutes. When the
round was over n boy was sneaking
off with his eye in mourning and an
other had all the skin knocked off his
jaw and was ont of action. The
teacher was trying to piece together
the fragments of u jacket. And so it
happened that Dolliver taught that
school for two terms and never had
another fracas while he was there"

The Last Word on Rockefeller.

The eagerly awaited CONFUSION OF
Miss Tarbell's character sketch OF
John ID. Rockefeller is in McClure's
for August. 1t builds upon the foun-
dations laid in the first paper a clear
and interesting estimate of the most
significant personality in c%ontempor-
airy affairs.
Eminently calm, giving him always
the benefit of the doubt, the real Rock.
e~feller, judged by his deeds, is exam
ined and compared with the man John
ID. Rockefeller lets the public see in
the Sunday-school, in philanthropy,
and in business activity. His char,
acter is barred of all its ~pretences,
that the lesson his life teaches may be
plain.

A Capable Woman.

. Miss Rebecca Bracken, who died
last week in Niles, Michigan, was
chief train dispatcher of the Michigan
Central railroad for forty years. She
was the pioneer woman telegrapher
and was retired by the company on a
pension last August. The records in
the office of the superintendent of
telegraph showed that she had no
mark against her in all the forty
years of service for the Michigan Cen
trial. So beloved vas she by the rail-
road men that when she was retired a
delegation of railway officials and
conductors presented her with a dia-
mond ring.-Mail & Times, Des
Moines.

The chautauquas this year are hav-
ing unusual in giving fine
programs and in coming out on the
right side of the ledger in a financial
way. We are glad to see this be-
cause they are worthy of success and
patronage by all the people. In speak
ing of them the Sidney Herald proper
ly says that SIN some crowds a man
feels like he is one of a herd, related
to the lower animals. In other gath
erings he feels that he is akin to the
divine and allied to the gods. A
chautauqua is n of the latter kind.
There our angel is in the ascendancy.
The atmosphere is pure, intellectual
and spiritual. The people are not
there debauched by drink, to see a
prize fight, or an entertainment of
questionable character. They are
there to hear something that appeals
to their better and higher natures, and
the c~hautauqua spirit is radiant in
their heaven-erected faces"

Another Good Man for Governor.

1t is very likely that Senator War
rem Garst will be forced into the
gubernatorial race, if political con-
ditions are favorable when the time
comes. Nobody has any authority to
speak for the senator from Carroll;
he has been scrupulously careful not
to give out any interview or to commit
himself In private. But his friends
will insist upon his candidacy, if the
logic of the situation makes him the
proper person for them to support.
He is a man of virile manhood and
large proportions intellectually and
has had a ~singularly successful career
in public life. And his fitness for the
high Office is appreciated by all IA
miliar with his public service. No.
where is he more highly appreciated
than ut home, and the party in Car
roll county would support him as one
man. Carroll Herald.

OUR GREETING.

BY announcement last week the
readers of the Republican have been
advised Of the change in ownership
and editorial management of this
paper. When such a change occurs
it is always expected that the new
editor will give some reason for his
becoming a citizen of the community,
and some expression of his purpose
concerning the future conduct of the
paper under his control. We come
here as a matter of business. After
looking some time for a newspaper,
We bought the Republican because we
believe it is a good business propo-
sition. Its present position is assured
and its future prospect is assuring
and promising. We come here an en-
tire stranger. We are clear out of
our beat. Except the last seven years
at Des Moines, u residence in Iowa
has been in the northeast quarter of
the state. To edit a paper in a strange
pioSO 10 u ullllCulJ IdShs NO one can
fully appreciate it until he tries it.
A thorough acquaintance is absolute
ly essential to do good local work.
Hence we ask the indulgence of our
readers until We have time to become
acquainted and acclimated.
In regard to the future we shall
make no promises. We believe in the
principles of the Christian religion
and the Republican party, and expect
to be guided by them both in business
and political affairs. We shall try
to be decent, respectable, and fit to
live in the community. We expect to
do business, collect pay for it, settle
our W bills, and keep out of the
hands of the Democratic sheriff. We
intend to be sincere and honest all
the time, and hope to be right at least
a part of the time. Give us all the
news and our share of the business
and we shall be content. We are
ready for business. Come and see us.

The Post Office department has re-
fused to grant the request of the post
master here made on behalf of the
patrons of Route 5, to extend the time
for the repairing of the Orr slough
road and will not permit the carrier
to traverse it until the road is placed
in good condition. 1t is a hardship
on these people to have to come to
town for their mail, but the route will
be returned to them as soon as the
road is made good.-Logan Observer.

Lippincott,s Magazine for August.

1t is limited that the novelette, in Lip
pincott's Magazine for August, en-
titled "Her First Elopement," comes
from the pen OF a well-known writer,
who hides her identity under the pseud,
onym tof "Clara Bartram." The
story is q gay recital of one summers
happenings at Newport, and in view
of certain episodes which bear the ear,
marks of an intimate personality, cas-,
lily recognized, it might cause embar-
'rassment in high circles were the
author revealed.

Good Horse Sense.

There is q horse in Abel which
closes the stable door during the day
to darken his stall, and protect him
self from the annoyance OF flies; then
in the evening opens the door and en-
joys the cool evening and night. This
is hardly equal, however, to the
horse mentioned in aneXchange which
goes to town with the buggy without a
driver to meet his master at the train,
or to bring out the weeks supply OF
groceries for the family. -Dallas Co.

Physical Training.


Regular exercises in gymnastics are
given to all pupils in the grades up to
the eighth twice each day. All pupils
in the eighth grade and in the first
year of the high school have regular
gymnastic work, the boys three times
week, the girls twice each week,
The instruction at each exercise
extends over period of forty minutes.
The high school carries on work in
the various departments of athletics,
foot ball, basket ball and track
athletics. Our basket ball team this
year has been invited to participate
in the basket ball tournament at the
Lawrence University the first week in
April. To this tournament only the
eight best teams in the state are
invited. We have tried to keep
constantly before pupils the fact that
while athletics are yaluable-they are
secondary to regular school work.
Only pupils whose regular work is
satisfactory have been allowed to
compete. In this age when the value
of sound body and steady nerves is

School instruction is Practical.

We often hear complaints that the
high school instruction is not Suffici-
GENTLY practical TO meet the needs of
the average boy and girl. We must
confess that it seems to us that this
in a measure is true. But if we look
a little farther into the work that is
really offered aud the tendency of the
high school work today we will find, |
believe that the high school is moving
in the right direction.
