and the actions of those under him
and as an executive and an organizer
he has few equals. The young man
is forceful and emphatic in his per

the work and entered upon the career
of a teacher because he had a fond
ness for the work and not as means
to other ends. He is now engaged as
superintendent of the Fremont
schools and under his direction the

Is regarded as a model school system,
When he took the schools, trouble ex'

through determined effort he has
brought the school to its present ex'

teaching country schools in this and
other counties and he knows the bus

schools has always been gratifying to
himself and satisfactory to the boards

has a wife and four children. He is
well liked in the community in which
he lives, and in reality the people of
Fremont do not take kindly to his
candidacy,for they know that his cleo
tion means their loss of splendid
school management. In addition to
being popular in his school work the
gentleman has always taken an act

community in which he has lived.
He has been a lifelong republican and
has been faithful worker with the
party of his choice. He has been hon

places in the party organization and
has always proved careful and thor

The county will profit largely by
the election of Mr.. Young to the of.

will make strong and a popular of,

favorably known in the Fremont com.

his favor, and his vote from that sec,

Martinsburg Methodists Have An

Rev. J. W. Somerville, pastor OF

church at that place. The church had
been built, or perhaps more properly
speaking rebuilt, at a cost of $4,000,
and a debt had been incurred amount
ing to 5000. So we'll did Rev. Somer.
vile succeed that to pay the nine hun.
dred dollar debt, $1,000 were raised.
In addition to this the local pastor
had raised $50, but following an ap,
peal from Rev. Somerville the congre'
CATION pledged an additional fifty dol
lars to pay the preachers subserip'
ton. Practically all the subscrip'
tions were paid in cash, showing the
wonderful prosperity Of the people In
the farming communities.
The new church is a commodious
and most convenient structure, fitted
with furnace, and nicely furnished
1t is one of the most complete and

THIS MEANS YOU.

To Iowa Republicans: The Republi'
can State Central Committee respect
fully invites and urges the co-opera-
ton of every republican in the pres
ent campaign. The republican party
goes to the voters upon its record OF
honest, efficient and business-like ad-
ministration of every department OF
state government, and pledged to pol
icies that will protect the individual
man in his industrial and political
rights; and confronting this party
with menacing threat is an alliance
between democratic greed for office
and corporation greed for power.
With this clear alignment Of political
forces no republican can afford to be
found wavering. .....
BY reason of the courageous stand
of state and federal officials in sup
port of the aggressive reform policies
of President Roosevelt and congress
and of Governor Cummins and the
Legislature, the political corporations
have swelled the campaign funds OF
the allied opposition in extraordinary
manner. The Republican State Cen
trail Committee has refrained from
seeking, either directly or indirectly,
the contributions of corporations.
The demand for speakers and cam
paign literature is larger than usual,
testifying to the genuine interest OF
all republicans Of the rank and file,
and to meet this demand in legitimate
manner, the committee invites con-
tributions from all who have faith IN
the republican party, who support Its
principles and abide by the results oi
its conventions.

COAL sHIPPEp sY RAIL,

In his forthcoming report entitled
'The Production of Coal in 1906" "Mr.
Edward w. Parker of the United
States Geological Survey has a chap
ter on the shipments of coal made by
railroads that is in the nature of a
departure from the usual contents of
this annual report.
From the producers reports tables,
showing the amount of bituminous
coal loaded for shipment by different
railroads, have been compiled. The
first table shows the tonnage origi-
mating on the lines of the great inter
state systems. The second table ex.
hibits the tonnage loaded on the larg.
er lines, penetrating, with few ex'
ceptions, two or three states only. The
third table shows the shipments over
less important lines, the tonnage OF
which exceeded 100000 in 1905.
The shipments represented by
these tables amounted to about 226,.
100000 tons, whereas the total guam.
tity of coal loaded for shipment dur.
lh5 1OVo dhlOuhJCu " d AALIAC OfOA
255 100000 tons. In some instances
operators did not reply to the inqui'
ries, and the table is therefore incom.
plete to the extent represented by
these two factors.
1t appears from these tables that
something over 100000 tons, o,
over 20 per cent of the total produc'
ton of bituminous coal, originated on
the Pennsylvania system, which in
cludes the Pennsylvania Railroad, the
Pennsylvania Company, the Pennsyl
vania lines west of Pittsburg, the
Terre Haute and Indianapolis, and the
Vandalia railroads. Second in i'm
portance is the Baltimore and Ohio
Qncluding the Baltimore and Ohio
Southwestern), with total shipments
slightly in excess of 20,O00,000 tons
or about 8 per cent Of the total. The
Frisco system, which includes also
the Chicago and Eastern Illinois
shipped something over 10,000,00C
tons, followed closely by the Norfoll
and Western with nearly 100000
tons, the Illinois Central with over
100000 tons, and the Chesapeake
and Ohio with over 100000 tons.
