Regulation of Rates.

Springfield Republican: a vest
EN- railroad man is quoted as saying
that it is little. less than ~farcical to
give over the business of regulating
the railroads TO others instead of to
expert railroad men. But it is the
president Of a western railroad. A.
Il. S%tickney, vino Says that The best
and most effective case Of rate regu-
lation we have in the country was
the work of a body OF small-salalied
men, who were not railroad experts
the Iowa commission which several
years ago framed and put in force a
system of rate charging which has
remained in force ever since and
which is generally satisfactory. 1t
is quite often the case that those
who are less acquainted with the
detail of a business ale better able to
work out the general principles
which should govern it.

commended by all citizens who have
the obedience of law at heart, and
their earnestness in the matter is
not to te questioned from the man
ner in which they expressed them
selves.
Concerning the licensing OF another
saloon in Mitchell, IA group OF ciui-
ems got into conversation the other
day, and they expressed a strong
sentiment against the granting of
more licenses. With ten saloons
already in operation they considered
that these ought to be sufficient to
appease the thirst or appetite of the
public. This conversation was
brought up by reason CT the fact
that application has heen made for
opening another saloon at the lower
end of Main street. This application
is to be acted upon Saturday evening
at IA special meeting Of the city
council. With the number of saloons
that are doing business ON Main
street south Of Second Avenue it is
embarrassing for ladies to pass
through the crowd OF men that stand
in froht OF them durng the after
noon and evening, particularly the
latter, and the talk that emanates
from them is not of the kind that
a lady cares to hear.

colnmittoet ran OF his party IRON
Illinois.
1T was am impolitic thing for MI.
Bryan to do, he a private citizen OF
the state OF Nebraska, in unminced
words to demand the :resignation OF
a national committee of Illinois.
There is virtue in Mr.. Suilivan's
defiant areas pointed at 'spolitical
czardom'' and %''followers who will
never be serfs.'
But the thing had to happen. To
understand why, it is necessary to
20 back to July {, 1904. On that day
Mr.. Bryan. having eluded members
of his Nebraska delegation who were
bent on dissuading him from his
~ I'D and ilupol:tic idea of fighting
the Illinois delegation. appeared on
the platform Of the national conven-
tion at st. Louis and paid his re-
spects to the people associated with
Mr.. Sullivna i'm words that sizzled.
John z. Hopkins ard his associates,
among them Mr.. Sullivan, mad. ac-
cording TO Mr.. Bryan, assaulted,
sandbagged. kidnapped, bound and
gagged the Illinois state convention
for delivery to the corporations at
the national convention. "Their
whole conduct said MIR. Bryan i'm
that memorable speech. ''sllows
that their purpose was conceived in
sin, born in iniquity a%nd..carried.- out
to the destruction OF democratic
hopes i'm that state" He also men
toned 1.-THE %highwaymen who raped
the co%nvention,' and speaks of them
as "this gang and as being on a
level with train robbers. When the
matter came to a vote MIR. Bryan was
turned down by worse than two to
one. 1t was bad politics then. but
two years later lie reappears with
the party in his pocket by d reversed
margin. Perhaps, in addition to
a like for consistency. MIR. Bryan has
smashed MIR. Sullivan IN the belief
that this sort OF bad politics is good
for himself.

INVASION BY CANADA
''rhe Kilties" Will Charm With Their
Band and Vocal Music and
Amuse With Dancing.

In music, in warfare and song,
With bagpipes and banners unfurled
Like a torrid simeon borne along,
The Highlanders Tighten the world.
1t will be a peaceable invasion of
Canada's best musicians by the
famous "Kilties" FROM over the
border during corn palace week,
Sept. 24-29. The band is made up
OF picked musicians from all parts
Of Canada, men who have seen
military service and who have been
kings soldiers. Several OF the bands
men served in South Africa, and
wear medals for noble service. They
are under contract to the Kilties
company, incorporated, for continu-
Gus service from one season to an
other; consequently the director,
Mr.. Albert Cook, is able to pick his
players, and provide a novel enter
tainmenJ such as no other musical
organization in the world provides.
There is nothing like the kilties
in the musica world: their concerts
are unique, delightful, artistic and
pleasing. Everyone from the god i'm
the gallery to the most asthetic
musician in the orchestra chairs can
get something from the Kilties to
please.
Director Cook is punctilious and
exacting; he expects, and gets the
best results possible and the uni
versal verdict at the close Of the
Kilties concerts-''I am glad heard
the Kiities," is heard on every
hand.

THE TEACHERS INSTITUTE
Teachers of Dawson County Will As
semble for the Institute Aug.

County Superintendent Quigley has

institute OF Dawson county, giving
an outline of the work, the program
and those who will compose the fac

II week, and it will begin on Mon
dav, Aug. 81. at lG O'Clock, and

1t is Obligatory on the part of the

ment OF their certificates for teach

Wednesday evening, Aug. %, Stats
Superintendent Kramer. will deliver
a lecture in the city nall.
In the booklet that he issued Su-
perintendent Quigley offers the fol
lowing suggestions concerning the
work Of the teaching profession:
The best teachers are enthusiastic
and progressive, always seeking and
acquiring. Without these qualities,
age and experience are OF little value,
and with them the young and mex
pelienced are generally successful.
The institute is the best means
known to prepare the teacher for
the years work. Teachers should
plan to attend the full time and
labor faithfully to get the greatest
amount of good possible. Anything
less than this is an evasion of law
ana duty. at the institute the
teacher should be a model for her
pupils, prompt. regular. attentive,
studious.
The leading aim will he to show
how best TO teach. Teachers should
bring text books on the subjects
they take.
The institute is the place for Civ
ing and receiving help. BE free to
ask for the consideration of any sub.
ject OF special value to you. Every
live teacher is a learner. There is
no better evidence of the utter
worthlessness of a teacher than d
state OF serene complacency. The
training of children is a work OF
great and lasting Importance. We
do not work upon blocks or wood OF
stone, but upon immortal mind.
Our mistakes live on and On. Oul
carelessness and in.apacitv may
dwarf the lives OF our pupils, Safe
teaching requires thought and prep
aration.
Che graduating exercises of the
eighth grade of the rural schools will
be held Wednesday evening at the
city hall, when tue diplomas ano
prizes will be conferred.

EXCITING FAMILY ARRAY
Douglas j. Tucker Caused Quite 8

Hicks Wednesday Night.

Under a complaint issued by
Judge Herbert this morning Douglas
j. Tucker will be required to appear
before the justice court Saturday
morning to answer to the charge Of
assault with a deadly weapon
The incident leading up to the
getting out Of the complaint occurred
Wednesday evening. Tucker is a
s%on-in-law OF s.. Hicks and resides on
the south side, and when he went to
his home during the afternoon he
was or less intoxicated and had
some trouble with his wife, so we
were informed by one acquainted
with the facts. Mrs. Tucker went
over to her fathers home later in
the day and when Tucker again
went home and found his wife at
sent he telephoned to the Hicks
home and inquired if she was there,
and was told that she was not. he
had his suspicious that she was
there and about $50 went across
the railroad track to the Hicks
hone on Second Avenue west.
On arriving there be found his
wife and Mrs. Hicks in the back
yard and Mr.. Hicks was in the earn.
Tucker announced that he was going
to kill the old man for having lied to
him. His wife and Mrs. Hicks
Knowing that his disposition was
such that he would carry out his
threat, grabbed him and commenced
to scream for assistance. Tucker had
drawn a large knife from his pocket
and was brandish1ng it. Two men,
neighbors, heard the screams OF the
women and ran to their assistance,
and Mr.. Hicks reached the scene
just as quick, coming from the barn.
One of the men disarmed Tucker
and Mr.. Hicks saw at once the OBJ
ject Of fuckers visit and struck
him several times ia the face.
Tucker broke loose from the men and
hurried away. The men and women
had blood splashes on their faces.
the blood coming from the blows
given 10y Hicks.
Tucker ran down on the railroad
track, Lrandisbed his knife and de6ed
anybody to arrest him. Judge Her
bert was called over to the scene
and he Immediately telephoned
Sheriff Cook to go after Tucker.
He was arrested without any trouble
a short time after. He was placed
in jail and kept over night. His
face was badly swollen and Y physi-
clan was ordered to attend him.
Tucker and his wife separated, so
we are informed, down lin Arkansas
a year ago, anc she came here to live
with her parents, and he followed.
Their difficulties were bIidgeu over
and they have been living peaceablv
together. Tucker is said to be an
expert carpenter and has built a
number of fine buildings, but he
has a penchant for liquor that de
stroys his Judgment. On this oc-
casion Tucker went to the Hicks
home to get his wife to return home
but she declined to do so under tile
circumstances.
