SHAW IS WANTED
BY CORPORATIONS
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY
MAY MANAGE LARGE CON-
GERMS WHEN RETlRES.
One Said to Be Trust Company and
Other one of the Great Insurance
Companies Now Much in the Pub
lie Eye-secretary Taft Will In
spect Some Military Posts.

Special to The Republican.
Washington, Nov. lon the retire
ment of Secretary Shaw from the Unit
ed States treasury in March, the repu-
tation of that government institution
as a training school for captains OF
finance" will be given added luster.
1t is reported on what appears to be
good authority that the secretary will
put aside his portfolio to direct the af'
fairs of a big corporation in New York
Two Want Services.
Two immense financial institutions
are said to be striving to enlist the
services of Mr.. Shaw. One is said to
be a large trust company, and the 9th
er is a gigantic insurance company
that has figured largely in the public
press for the last several months, and
the management of which is now en-
gagged in a struggle with dissatisfied
policyholders W. the question of con,
troll. II is said taht the insurance com
pany is eager to secure the services of
the secretary, for under his manage
ment many of the differences now EN-
~barrassing the corporation would dis
appear.
Secretary Out of City.
Owing to the absence of the secre-
tary on a campaign speaking-tour, no
confirmation of the report is obtainable
here, but even if Mr.. Shaw were in the
capital it is doubtful if he would throw
much light on the matter. The secre-
tary is conservative, almost to the
point of complete silence, in discussing
mis- plans.

A SCARCITY OF TEACHERS.

We notice by our exchanges that in
many counties and in some cities there
lis scarcity of teachers, owing in part
at least to the new law for the eXami-
nation Of applicants for certificates,
which limits such examinations To- four
times q year. ut has occurred many
times heretofore that when the supply
of teachers was short the county SUI
perintendent could find some one or
more who had not engaged school to
take one for term. The examination
could betaken, q certificate issued and
the teacher be at work in few DAYS.
But this cannot be doneunder the new
law. An examination was held the
last week in October and none will be
held again until in January. In Conn
ell Bluffs the board has advertised
for teachers of experience to ill va
cancies that have occurred or will oc-
cur at the end of the term. Superin-
tendent Farquhar told us last Satnr-
day that there were still two schools
in Lincoln, one in Sharon, one in.
Hamlin, and three in Douglas with.
ont teachers for the winter term.

DEATH OF Mr.. LOWE.
Who was Stricken on His Way Home
From a Trip to Texas.

Mr.. w. Fl. Lowe is dead.
This is the intelligence that was
flashed over the wires Yesterday, Sun
day, November II, 1906, from Haven,
Kansas, quickly following telegram
to his sons which had announced his
serious illness and telling them to
come at once If they wished to see him
alive. Mr.. Lowe had been operating
in Texas lands for a number Of years,
had made frequent trips down there
and IL was while returning from one
OF these trips that the dreaded sum
mons came to him. He was taken Sc
riously i'll on the train and it was
deemed best to put him in charge of a
physician at once and he was accord
ingly taken off the train at Haven,
Kansas. Ascertaining who he was and
his place of residence, his two sons,
Earl and Lou Lowe, who live here
were at once telegraphed that their
father was in a serious condition and
advised them to come ut once and 10
this, as stated above, was quickly fol-
lowed by the telegram announcing his
death. Mr.. Lowe had been a sick man
for several years. Some years ago he
suffered slight attack of paralysis
"ulGH. iCIV hlLil III u NCtJ HSlEouS Gul-
dltion. About year ago he had
another slight attack and afterwards
had an attack of innammatory rheu-
matism, compelling him for a time to
remain indoors and afterwards to get
about on crutches or with cane. A
few months ago he went TO Excelsior
Springs, MISSOURI, where he took the
baths and treatment, became much i'm
proved in many ways and in talk
with representative of this paper re-
Gently said that he felt better than he
had in years and that he was again in
condition to give his bushes the at
tention it needed. The family so sud
denly stricken consists of four daught-
ers: Mrs. Fannie Huff, of Massena;
Mrs. Clara Lowe, of Boone; Mrs. Jen-
ME Hale, of Audubon; Miss Laberta
Lowe, of Atlantic: and three sons,
Fred Lowe, of Brayton; Earl and Lou
Lowe, of this city. The wife and mother
died about two wears ago. The body
arrived Wednesday, was taken to the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Squire j.
b. Aldrich, from which place the
funeral was held this morning at ten
o'clock, conducted by the Elks Lodge
Of which the deceased was member,
and the remains were taken to Lewis
and laid to rest in grave in the Gem
etery there by the side of his wife who
had preceded him to the better world.

VIOLA CENTER HIGH SCHOOL

The people out near Viola Center
have been anxious for some time to
have high school, and have at diff
erent times discussed the matter of
having one established by the town
ship, which can be done under the law.
But, this proposition having failed,
they have decided TO have private
school during the winter, al least.
Messrs d. ID. Sampson and f. M. Bar
retJ have bought building up there
which is being put in condition fer a
school which will open about the first
of December, with Mr.. Charles Fl.
Darland as principal, and having
from fifteen to twenty pupils in'attend-
ance. This is commendable effort
on the part of the people of Viola and
we hope they may be so well pleased
with the experiment that they may de-
dide to make it permanent.

DEPUTY COUNTY TREASURER.

One of the changes lobe made in the
court house on the first Monday in
January will be the appointment of
Howard Kittell, of Gray, as deputy
treasurer by George E. Kellogg, the
county treasurer-elect. Mr.. Kittell is
we'll known as successful teacher in
the county, though at present he is
working at the trade of carpenter. He
is a young man of good parts and
will no doubt fill the place with ability.
Mr.. Elmer BRENNAN, who has been
assisting in the Office during the past
wear or more, did not care to contin-
ne longer preferring to branch out
into the world of business for himself.

We Second the Resolution.

At the close of the Teachers Associ-
alton down at Atlantic the following
resolution was unanimously passed
as the sentiment of that body: IRE
solved, That we heartily endorse Pres.
ideut Beveridges protest against the
recentmagazine pronouncements charg
ing the public schools with causing
the breakdown in health of many
pupils, through overwork; whereas
the facts prove that high per cent OF
these are caused by irregular living,
bad habits, and lack of parental SUI
pervision outside of school hours. "

 VICTOR HUGO's MANUSCRIPTS.

There was quite a solemn ceremony yesterday when the manuscripts of Victor Hugo, which had been kept by his faithful disciple, the late M Paul Meurice, were handed over to the Di- rector of the Bibliotheque Rationale. The director, M. Marcel, accompanied by the Governor of the Bank of France and other executors, received the man. uscripts from the daughters of M. Meu- rice. The manuscripts were arranged in heaps on the dining room table and on the ehairs-some almost illegible, and all rather discolored. Fragments of verse, curiously turned phrases, &c., had been jotted down an envelopes and on the backs of bills.
 M. Marcel, having formally taken over the manuscripts for the nation, lent them to M. Gustave Simon, the guard ian of Mile. Adele Hugo. Only one manuscript that know of does not pass to the state. That is the manu- script of "Hernani," the renflant play which is so delicate a test of appropri- ateness in acting. That belongs to the Colnedie Francaise.-London Standard.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion Theate9.

The new comedy, "The Mountain Climber,S' which Francis Wilson will present tonight at the Hyperion, prom ises to be one of the cleverest mediums this popular comedian has yet had. It is said to be one of the most amusing of modern comedies, and the fact that 1t is the work of Kraatz and Neal, who were responsible for Are You a Ma son?" gives assurance of this fact. MT. Wilson has novel and most attractive role, which enables him to be seen at his best and gives full play for his clev- CT comedy methods. The scenes of the play are laid in England and Switzer- land which enables the use of some mostT$a4tEactive6stage settings. The authors have evolved most diverting entertainment. The complications and situations are said to evolve no end of laughter, and the characters are of nov el and attractive types. MT. Wilson appears as Montague Sibsey, who pre- 1 tends, in order to carry out a little de- ception which gives him the opportu- nity of spending several weeks a year in Paris, that he is a noted mountain climber and this little deception finally involves him in some of the most anus ing complications ever laughed at. Mir. Frohman has provided an exceptionally clever company, which includes May Robson, Angela Kier. Edith Barker, El- len Mortimer, Elsa Garrett, Joseph Brennan, William Levers, George S. f Spencer and others,

New Haven Thenter.

The New Haven theater was crowded last night, when "The Volunteer organ ist' was again presented. The scene Is laid in Vermont and portrays, in the most vivid manner, the simple life of the country and the philosophy and quaint humor of the man of the soil. In the third act, laid in the village church. when the volunteer organist plays, there are introduced real choir boys from Trinity church, New York, and so realistic is the scene that it is almost a shock when the curtain falls and the audience remember, with @ start, it is only a play. The perform ance will be repeated to-day, matinee and night.

strikes him down. Nietawa, whom Ad- ulola has already learned to love, takes an oath of vengeance against his fath- er's slayer, and Lashota, faithless wife of Schenaugua, hoping to thus win the love of Nietawa, tells him her husband is the slayer. Adulola, fearing for her lover, presents herself in the dead of night at the great cave of many spirits, where Nietawa has agreed to meet Lashota, to learn the name of his fath- CTS murderer. Here the chieftains S daughter is surprised by the arrival of her father, who, led by meddling and jealous braves, visits the cave to take Nietawa prisoner for robbing Shinoga of his wife. Lanawanda is convinced Q fthe purity of his daughter and con- fesses his crime to her, and they return to the encampment together as the flames are leaping up about the hap less NietaWa, bound to the stake Ad- ulola frees her lover, who accuses She anagua of the murder of his father. LOwanda confesses his guilt. Nietawa, heart broken that Adulola, knowing her fathers crime, has allowed him to love her, insists upon the right to single combat with Scheanauga, and after a short fight presents his breast to the knife of his antagonist and falls dying into the arms of the princess.
 Here the play virtually ends, though another act in three beautiful scenes shows the mourning of Adulola for her lost lover and the final passing of her soul across the Great River. Seats now selling.
