AUDUBON,
IOWA

In the common schools of the United
States are now enrolled more than
10000, 900 children, or about one-fifth OF
the population, under nearly half a mil
lion teachers. AS this education Is
given to the children free it is at the
bottom, says the New York Sun, and
very truly, of the nature Of charity.
The state takes them under its guar
1ianship so far as concerns their ele-
mentary instruction and bestows on
them its bounty. The state exercises Il
function in behalf of it's citizens in this
matter of education of very much the
same kind as it employs in their sanl-
tary regulation, now carried to so great
an extreme of expense and of detail.
Like school instruction, this sanitary
regulation Is a measure of self-protec-
ton for the state, since unsanitary con-
ditions in particular district affect in
juriously the whole community In
which the region Is situated. Hospit-
ais. also, are maintained for like rea-
son, or not merely for the particular
benefit of the sick in them but that the
general public health may be protect
ed. From the cradle to the grave the
poorest citizen is looked after by the
municipal authorities. The whole ma
chinery of society is organized for his
hlnnf1f Of two
quent and even the vicious are looked
after without regard to any share they
may have in paying the cost or in in
creasing it. The spirit of charity ex-
tends its wings over the whole COM
munity. So also the college and uni.
yersity may be called a benevolent In
stitution. wholly or in great part. The
latest statistics Of the United States
bureau of education enumerates 443 Of
these, in which the students number
1S9,157 young men and 41,977 young
women, who contribute in tuition fees
less than one-half of the total income,
to say nothing of the interest on the
cost Of plant, appliances, etc. More
than half of the education of these
students is purely gratuitous. To that
extent they are the recipients Of char
ity. Besides about 100000 of pro-
ductive funds, these institutions have
invested in grounds and buildings, in
libraries and apparatus, nearly as
much more. Except for this endow-
ment in productive funds, a gratuity
to the students, most of the institu-
lions would have to go out of business.
Munifcent gifts to these endowment
funds have distinguished this country
for many years past, yet there is not
now single university or college
which is not in need of more. April
cations for still further benefactions
are urgently made by the oldest and
most famous universities in the
union. These facts cast no reflection
on the pupils and students, but prove
simply that the educational advantages
these enjoy are largely of the nature
of a free gift by society or by ipdt
viduals OF wealth.

Hennery Photography.

A Stockport IN. W poultry farmer
has had great trouble of late because
his hens were not producing the proper
number of eggs. A nearby neighbor
has fine flock of hens which were
working overtime to produce eggs.
While hanging over the back fence
listening to the triumphant cackle of
his neighbours hens, says a local in
formant. an idea struck the luckless
owner of hens. He went into the house
and brought out his pnonograph, in
serted blank record and succeeded in
getting fine imitation of the cackIing
of the laying hens. He then installed
the photograph in his own hen house
and started it going. The first day the
hens were greatly amazed, but the sec
ond day they got down to business
and ground out an egg every time the
photograph cackled. The hens have
stopped cackling themselves, however,
and when the photograph stops Lney
stop laying and the originator of the
idea has TO sit in his coop all day long
to keep the monograph going.

IOWA CITY WANTS
A NEW HOSPITAL
SIX Location of Proposed
tuberculosis lnSti-
tuition
they HAVE A GOOD SITE
The Citizens Believe Medical School
Can Help hospitaI-Fort Dodge,
Earlham, and Other Cities Are
Also Seeking the Location

Des Moines, Ia.-Iowa City wants
tle new tuberculosis hospital which
he last session of the legislature
authorized the board of control to
ocate.
1t is proposed to locate 1t on the
hills west OF the river and west of
the university campus. Back of the
hills, which are wooded, is abundant
farm land. The bill authorizing the
location of the institution provlues
that at least 100 acres of land shall
be provided. 1t is thought that the
Ideal location can be supplied at the
point indicated.
The board of control has not con-
sidered the matter. 1t will receive
the applications for consideration
and then visit all OF the points which
have been candidates for the location
and decide.
The university people are anxious
to have the hospital located there,
for it will be there of more uses than
contemplated in the bill which became
a law and which provides for it's es-
Enlistment. For besides furnishing
the care and cure of consumptives,
which was the animus of it's original
proposal, 1t will be adjacent to the
medical department of the university
and furnish for the students IN that
branch of the institution a great OPP
portunity to study the disease. Phe
importance and value to the people
from this will be greatly enlarged
year after year for the students, as
they go out to practice medicine In
the state, will be better able to treat
the disease and equipped to aid in its
destruction.
Mason City, Fort Dodge and Earl
ham are among the towns near which
land has been offered to the board OIL
control. 1t has scores of letters from:
individuals, companies and commune
ties offering inducements for the loca-
tion of the institution.
The belief seems to exist that the
main thing is to have bluffs of high
eminences. This is not the case. The
board specially seeks for natural tim
Der, good elevation, good drainage and
good water, coupled with ease of ac-
cess. The bill provides that at least
l60 acres of land must be bought.
The appropriation is $4,000. The
board thinks of trying to buy $50
acres of farm land and 40 acres addi-
tional of timbered land. 1t is pro-
posed that horticulture and agricul-
ture be the occupations furnished the
consumptives who enter the institu-
ton. 1t is proposed that they be re-
quired to work on the farm and in
the garden and among the flowers,
and kept in the open air as many
hours during the day rs possible.
1t is believed that idleness tends to
aid the progress of the disease, and it
is proposed at the Iowa institution
for the cure of consumptives to keep
the hands busy so that the cure may
be more quickly and completely eff
tected.

Crop Service to Continue.


Iowa will enjoy for one year more
the unique distinction of being the
only state in the union where the
weather bureau issues bulletins with
reference to crop conditions.
Some time ago Chief of the United
States Weather Bureau Willis l..
Moore issued an order that publica-
lions of Chronological service should
contain no direct reference to crops.
This meant destruction to the Iowa
weather and crop service bureau con-
Quoted by the cooperation Of the
United States and the state of Iowa.
Chief Moore took the matter up with
Secretary of Agriculture James Will
son and a suspension of the order for
one year as to Iowa was made
Director J. r. Sage will ask the
Legislature next winter to amend the
law so that should the government in
sist on having nothing more to do
with crop service through it's weather
bureaus the Iowa bureau would con-
tinue independently under state super
vision.
Director Sage's term expires June
l and as yet no successor has been
named by Gov. A. B. Cummins. The
state board of agriculture has recon-
rqended his reapLointment, but he has
stated that he will accept the appoint
ment only on condition that he may
retire before the expiration Of his
term in case he deems it necessary to
do so for his health.

Judges to Obey Law.

Judges to obey Law.
Judges Howe. McHenry and Bren-
nan of the district court held a con
ference in the office of Judge Howe
ut the court house and renewed their
pledge to each other to expend no
money in furthering their campaign
to secure denomination on the re-
publican ticket There the reports
that other candidates are using mon.
ey in hiring workers in the interest
of their candidacy was discussed ana
the advisability of renouncing their
former agreement was considered. 1t
was finally concluded that as judges
and with their Interpretation of the
primary law they could not consist.
emily advertise or use money in any
way to further their campaign inter
ests. Accordingly the three Judges
agreed to conduct their campaigns
without financial expenditure. The
judges explained when asked concern
ing the campaign that there is not a
day passes that they are not approach
ed many times for loans, charity and
numerous designing requests for cam,
paign support money.

fIRnt- OI-Wdy Locus TIeu.
The Fort Dodge, Des Moines 4
Southern Electric Railway company,
known locally as the Newton & North
western road, filed eighteen deeds to
right-of-way property in this county.
The tracts are along the route of the
road north from this city. Mr.. FL
bert, right-of-way agent for the com.
pany, states that all of the right-of-
way Tor the new portion of the line
between Des Moines and Fort Dodge
has been purchased save one piece
in the north part of this county,
against which condemnation proceed
ings will be instituted. This will be
the only condemnation suit the COM
pany will have in Polk county.
C. C. Lavelleur, workman, was
found dead in bed at the Morgan
house at Des Moines a few days ago,
supposedly from alcoholism, as he is
said to have been drinking heavily
and the room showed signs of his
having been sick.

gresham j. p. Conner was voted the
unanimous choice of the republican
convention of the Tenth district for

Bank Judgment Reversed.

Bank Judgment Reversed.
The United States court of appeals
at st. Louis has reversed the case OF
the Des Moines National bank against
the United States Fidelity and Guar.
anty company, wherein judgment was
secured for $5,400 on the bond of
Elton Kelly, former assistant cashier,
for $4,000, which turned up missing
in the bank. The Judgment was
granted ON the claim that Kelly was
guilty of culpable negligence. Even
some of the witnesses for the bank
expressed the belief there was no evil
dence whatever that Kelly had any
thing to do with the loss of the money.
Kelly was not permitted to appear in
the case, as it was a civil action in
which he could neither gain or win.
The case was appealed with the sub
sequent reversal. This nullifies the
judgment against the bonding com
pany Of Baltimore.

Fifty-first Regiment to March.


The Fifty-first regiment, which in
cludes the two Des Moines companies
of the state militia, will probably take
a practice march from Red Oak to
Atlantic the latter part Of July or
first of August. Adjutant General
Trift and Colonel Lincoln have about
decided on that plan for the summer
instruction. The march will begin at
Red Oak, where all the companies of
the regiment will assemble and will
follow the line of railroad to Allan
tic. Sunday will be spent in camp at
Atlantic and the regimental review
will be held there Monday morning
before the companies are started for
home. The week previous of
the practice march the officers of the
regiment will gather in Des Moines
for school of instruction under regu.
lar army officers.

tured and abused her, Mrs. May
Daugherty of Des Moines has COM
menced suit for divorce from B. E.
Daugherty, whom she married in Abel
Sept. %, 1903. She says that he also
concealed from her that prior to her
marriage to him he was the father of
an illegitimate child and afterwards
delighted in haunting her by remind
ing her that this was a fact. She
says he has also become an habitual
drunkard. She asks for divorce

DECISION ON SUNDAY LAW.

Discriminate was the ground on
which Judge John Mccain, of Louis
vile, on Monday, dismissed the cases
against those employees of theatres
opened Sunday, who were arrested Sun
day afternoon on the charge of working
at their trade on the Sabbath day. Judge
McCann's decision in full is as follows
When statute like the one on which
these arrests were made contains, as
it does, the prohibition of any person
or any business man engaging at his
trade or calling on Sunday, unless this
trade is work or calling of necessity,
1t has to be construed broadly. This
statute relates to the number of differ
ent businesses. Now in those cases at
bar, only three places are embraced in
the order to be closed on Sunday, now
the statute embraces a great number of
trades and callings which are not mo-
Tested. When these persons are arrest
ed for violation of what is commonly
known as the Sunday lava discrimina-
ton cannot be made. You cannot en-
force law that is general in character
and seek out and arrest few persons

to time that the wife of Henry Yout-

RIDDLE vACATEs BENCH.

The case Of the Commonwealth VS..
James Hargis Ed. Callahan, B. F.
French, John Abner and John Smith
was called in the Breathitt Circuit
Court Tuesday morning and the Com
monwealth's Attorney announced that
he was ready to take up the argument
on his motion for a change of venue.
Attorneys for the defendants request
ed time for consultation and when they
returned declined to argue the question
of change of venue and presented a
motion, supported by affidavits of de-
PENDANTS, asking that Judge Riddell
vacate the bench and contending that
it was a violation of the rights of the
defendants for him to preside in the
case. Among other reasons presented
was the relationship existing between
Judge Riddell and the late J. B. Mar
cum, on account of his sister being the
wife of Tom Marcum, brother of the
deceased.
Upon a consideration of the defend
ants motion and affidavits the Judge
decided that they were sufficient to re-
quire him to vacate and he accordingly
refused to consider any other motions
in the case and passed motion for
change of venue until further develop
ments.>
The clerk was directed to prepare a
certificate showing the vacancy and ne
cessity for the appointment of a special
Judge. His appointment will probably
be made in the next few days.
Gov. Beckham yesterday appointed
Judge J. L. Dorsey, of Henderson, to
take Judge Riddles place at Jackson.
He left Henderson for Jackson i'm
mediately. He is considered one of
the ablest jurists and lawyers in West

Marlowe in "The Tanning of the
Shrew," at the Lexington Opera House
Monday nigt. This, it seems to be the
general verdict. is the finest presenta-
ton of Shakespeare famous comedy
yet seen on the American stage. Mr..
Sothern and Miss Marlowe seem to
have condensed all their resources in
the way of comic art in superb effort
to fill 1T with merriment, and by all ac-
counts they have succeeded. Boisterous
the merriment may be at times, but the
mlrthful element never fails from be-
ginning to end. The action is as brisk
as the comedy of today, and the two
chief players are said to have imbued
their roles with so much of their own
persuasive Municipalities that their in
terpretations are almost modern. By
all accounts they have made Petruchio
and Katherine very human, and this
fact has much to do with the popular
quality of the success which they have
achieved. This will be the dramatic
event OF the entire season. Mail orders
for seats will receive attentin.

REMARKABLE RAILROAD TRAIN.

A remarkable railroad train will be
run from st. Paul, Mimi, on March 4.
1t will carry staff of grain experts,
who will disseminate knowledge of
methods to increase grain yields and to
fight grain diseases. The trip has been
planned by the superintendent of the
Minnesota and North Dakota Farmers
Institutes, and the railroad company
gladly furnishes a special train and a
crew of men, leaving the entire man.
agement of the trip in the hands of the
conductors of the farmers Institutes,
which are supported by their respective
states. The railroad company believes
that the information thus disseminated
will result, in a few years, in an in
crease grain yield. and is willing to as
sumo a large part of the cost of giving
instructions in simple methods which
may be applied on any farm for better
ing the crop in quantity and quality.
