WIDOW BRINGS SUIT
Asks $4,000 Of Sioux City Traction
Company for Husbands Death.

Spec.al 10 ilues-kepuhncan.
Sioux City, Nov. 22-The Sioux City
Traction Company is defendant in a
$4,000 damage suit brought by the
widow of Joseph Remilard, of Je1tef-
son, S. D. The plaintiff claims her
husbands death was due to the nesN-
gence of the company and motormah
in it's employ.
Remilard was killed by Riverside
car on the night of January 10, last,
while he was walking down the street
car track The plaintiff claims the mo-
torman could see the pedestrian on its
right OF way long before the car reacn-
ed him. and that he had plenty OF time
to stop his car and save the man.
The defense makes the claim thai
Remilard was trespassing on the trac-
ton company's right of way and that
he had no right there. 1t also claims
the motorman, as soon as he saw the
man, rang his gong repeatedly, ano
that when he saw the man was not go
ing to get out of the way 1t was too
late to stop his car.

Des Moines, Nov. 22.-Iowa school
children are not given proper in
struction in the histories in use thru
out the state concerning the part the
native sons of the state took in the
making of the nation and especially OF
the civil war, according to members of
the G. A. r. and Womans' Relief
Corps, and they have made an appeal
to state Superintendent John f.
Riggs to get the deficiency remedied.
Superintendent Riggs is taking the
matter up and giving it his support.
If plans now on foot are carried to
successful conclusion the histories in
use thruout the state will hereafter
have at least supplements in which the
part that Iowa men took during the
civil war will be recounted and due
credit and appreciation given to the
native sons of the state. 1t is claimed
that thruout the south every state in
its school histories gives especial at
tention to it's own great men. The
northern states, Iowa at least, gives no
attention whatever to their own men.
The G. A. r. post of Fairfield, has
taken the matter up and opened cor
respondence with Superintendent
Riggs. At a meeting of the post and
relief corps there recently, resolutions
were passed thanking Riggs for his
prompt offer of assistance and asking
that Major S. H. NJ. Byers, of Des
Moines, be asked to prepare a. supple
ment to be printed in the regular school
histories of the state. This is the
method understood to be most popular
turnout the south. Each state has a
separate supplement of few pages in
which the children of the state are CIV
en- the information as to the part their
ancestors took in the fight for states
rights. Iowa will have a supplement
telling the part it's heroes took in pre-
serving the union.
Superintendent Riggs has written to
some of the publishing houses and
asked their support. The Des Moines
agents of school book publishing
houses have taken up with the idea
publishing houses themselves are mot
taking so enthusiastically to the idea,
for it means added expense in publish
ing the books.
At the same time it is recognized
that such a supplement is liable to be
fragmentary and too often is prepared
by some enthusiastic old soldier and
not by trained historian and the fur
ther claim is made that the only ideal
way would be to incorporate the ad-
ditional information in the body of the
history with the othr facts. But the
patriotic citizens who have started the
movement are acting on the theory that
the Supplement is better than nothing
and will make their efforts directed at
that

In Time of Peace.

In the first months of the Russia
Japan war we had a striking example
of the necessity for preparation and
the early advantage of those who, sc
to speak, "haye shingled their roofs in
dry weather" The virtue of prepara-
ton has made history and given to
us our greatest men. The individual
as we'll as the nation should be pre-
pared for any emergency. Are you
prepared to successfully combat the
first cold you take? A cold can be
cured much more quickly when treated
as soon as it has been contracted and
before it has become settled in the sys-
tenn. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
famous for it's cures of colds and it
should be kept at hand ready for in
slant use. For sale by all druggists.
