Rain has fallen on six of the eight
days of August this year, while during
the same period of last year rain fell

qress in Erection of New Building on
the High School Grounds-schooI
Opens Sept. S.

Ober E. Haug, of Hillsboro, Ohio, has
been employed by the Marshalltown
school board to assume charge of the
new manual training department.
which will be added to the course al
the opening Of the next school year
The board, on recommendation of SUI
perintendent Coffeen, employed TWO
other teachers at a meeting held Tues
day evening, thus practically filling the
corn of instructions unless other va
cancies should arise before the OPEN
ing of the term on September 3.
Mr. Haug, in addition to his work in
the manual training department, Will
have two classes in algebra. 1t has
been decided to adopt the Beardsley
course of manual training. Mr.. Beard
sley was for many years at the head
of the manual training department in
the Chicago schools. The course is one
for which text books and leaflets are
supplied, and which is taught as sys-
tematically as that of any other course
of study pursued in the public schools.
The two grade teachers employed to
fill existing vacancies are Miss Celoa
E. Marks, of Cresco and Miss Madge
Ellsworth, Of Nashua, Iowa. Miss
Marks will probably be assigned to
Miss Parks place in charge of the fifth
grade of the Woodbury. school, Miss
Parks having resigned. Miss Ellis
worth will probably succeed Miss Gull
ford at the Rogers school.
The meeting Tuesday evening was
devoted largely to routine matters in
connection with building operations and
plans for the opening of the schools
September 5. Satisfactory progress is
now being made in the construction of
the combination heating plant, manual
training department at the auditor
ium, being erected on the high school
grounds.
The manual training building will be
completed, it is thought, by Septem-
Der Is, the date on which the contract
specifies it shall be finished. While
the building is not yet enclosed, little
time will be required to complete it, as
the interior will be finished off largely
with thing, similar to the Y. M. G. A.

COUNTY BRINGS SUIT.
Would Recover Large Amount for Cost
of MAINTAINING Insane Patient.


d. T. Denmead, as guardian of Ida
Soorholtz, a patient in the state hos
pital for the insane, has been made
defendant in an action brought in the
district court by Marshall county in
which it is sought to recover large
sum for the expense of support and
treatment of Mrs. Soorholtz at the hos
pital. Each county pays the state for
its care of patients whose legal resi-
dence has been established within the
county. and the petition filed in the
court alleges that the guardian of Mrs.
Soorholtz has sufficient property and
credits in his possession to pay the
expenses so far entailed, amounting to
$1,470.69 up to March 26, 1896, and SIP
per month since that time. The suit is
in line with the policy of the board of
supervisors to collect from the guard
ians of insane persons when the estate
is sufficient to cover the amounts.

Suit of Mrs. Fannie Williams Against
Central to be Tried Elsewhere.

The Iowa Central Railway Company,

with Clerk of the Courts Lounsberry.
a petition and bond for the removal of
the case of Mrs. Fannie Williams to
the federal court. Mrs. Williams is
suing the company for damages in the

of her husband, the late Carl Williams,
who was killed in wreck at Brighton

approval of the bond by the lower court
the law is mandatory for removal to

improbable that the case will be tried

LIGHTNING RUINS STACK.
Chimney on the kemble Greenhouse
Heating Plant Split to the Bottom.

During the severe electrical storm
this morning lightning struck the
large brick chimney at the kemble
greenhouses on North Third street,
knocking a large hole in the top ON
the north side and cracking it from the
top almost to the base. The chimney
is new one, having been built late
last fall, at a cost of about $500. Mr..
Kemble is of the opinion that the
chimney will have to be torn down to
the base and rebuilt The bolt of
lightning which struck the chimney did
no other damage.

standina of the clubs.

The Brownies returned to their own
back lot yesterday, and before 416 of
their followers won from, and shut out
Keokuk by to O. The victory was
notably easy because keokuk has been
by no means easy for the locals on
other occasions when the two have
met before this sea son. When the
Brownies started to win there was no
stopping them, and instead of blocking
the way Keokuk cleared the bases
twice in wild efforts to nip runners
tearing homeward, which contributed
five of the six runs.
The tail-end Of the batting list, which
naturally includes Dick, was there at
all points Of the contest yesterday.
These tail-enders, supposedly the punk
hitters, did all of the very little hit
ting there was going on, and Dick
flung as good a game as could be de-
sired.
If the Brownies We're worried by
Kennedy, who pitched a really excel
lent game, Keokuk was in distress be-
fore the locals tall twirler. He held
them to two dinky little swats, and the
two that stung the ball, were the only
two that reached first. By the same
method of reckoning only Twenty-Five
hitters squared away at the plate dur
ing the nine rounds, two more than the
book says shall be the least number
at bat during single game.
1t was not until the sixth inning that
Bills got to first by his hit, and pit
was not until the eighth that Mean
'drews did likewise. The former died, ON
third, and the latter was speared en-
route to second, which was as near as
the visitors came to showing on the
score sheet.
A muggy, sweltering day, and heavy
field made a slow game, in which, how
ever, there were some stirring features.
The Brownies put up an excellent de-
Tense, and the support they gave Dick
was all that a finger could ask for.
Spencer's catch of Fosters hit to deep
center was one of the bright particu-
lar performances.
Exclusive of those times when wild
throws had them hoodooed, Keokuk
played a good game in which Burmiller,
McAndre,ws and McKeown all shone at
different times.
The locals only earned run was the
result of Bockewitz's two Dagger and
similar biff by Dick in the second.
The former scored on the latter's belt
to right.
After two had gone down in the
fourth Kennedy walked Kruger. Dick
hit to right, and in attempting to spear
"Hiney" at third Williams threw past
McAndrews to the score board, and
both Kruger and, Dick counted before
the ball was recovered.
In the eighth the score making
started again by Kennedy hitting
Brown, Corkill walked, and Thomas
hunted to Kennedy, who threw wild
to third in an attempt to head off
Brown. Everybody that was on be-
gan tearing for home, and Yant, who
recovered the ball, threw to the grand
stand trying to catch Corkill at the
plate, and the whole outfit scored. The

ever since the season opened two weeks

beating the Y M. c.. A. club by the

The association is said to owe it's play

Had a Good Time.

Judge Welch came near being able to
collect some fire insurance one day this
week. He and his wife were away and
the children were left with girl.
About the first thing that happened
was the collapse of handsome jardin-
ere. Soon after matches were obtained
by the children and all repairing up
stairs fire was soon started on the
carpet. Luckily however, it refused
to burn, and soon went out. The kitch-
en- was the next spot which received
attention and the hydrant afforded an
easy means of playing "river" or
swimming hole" for it was flooded
when the family arrived home. 1t was
not learned what the nurse was doing
in thd meantime but the Judge says
that it will be impossible for his wife
and himself to ever appear in company
together again. One simply must stay
home.

The announcement that Mr.. Sanford
Dodge supported by Miss Rose Curry
and clever company of players will
appear at the Opera House Thursday,
March 8, in the greotest of Shake
speare's tragedies, julius Caesar,
should be hailed with delight by all
patrons of the best dramatic offerings
at the local play house. This produc-
tion of julius Caesar is the first to
make the smaller sized cities. and that
Mr.. Dodge offers it is sufficient guaran-
tee that the great play will have a
creditable presentation. The attraction
is worthy of the very best patronage
and should be accorded crowded house.
1t is impossible to keep from remark
ing that one gets an idea while reading
the articles being published against
high license that condition of that
kind existing would lead the people Of
Delta to fate equalled only by those
of Sodom and Morah. There cannot be
so many weak minded, unprincipled
men IN our little town that, if a license
condition exists, would become Grimm
ais, debauchees and brutes. A manlwho
has no will power of his own will travel
the road of the degenerate in spite Of
anything or anybody. Upon will power
rests the success of the world. And
there are about as many men in Delta
that have this will power as there are
in any other town.
