TEA IN TABLETS.
One OF Them Dissolved in Hot Water Will
Make Beverage.

Washington, Dec. 26.-The Ia
test novel experiment to be made
by the department of agriculture
is that of compressing tea into
tablets, one of which will make a
delicious cup of tea. The tea Is
grown at the departments exper-
imentsl tea gardens at Summer
vile, S. @.
The department. has been en-
gagged in this experiment for
some time, and last week large
box of sample packages of tea
tablets was received by DR.. Gallo
way, director of the Bureau of
Plant Industry, for inspection
Each little box of compressed tea
contains twenty tablets about the
size of penny, but about twice as
thick. They are dark green. DR..
Galloway states that the most fa-
vorable reports have been made
hy those who have tried the tab
lets.
The tablets are said to contain
no adulterapt,
Jt piained that the taste of
the tea is in no way bettered by
the form of tablets, but the chief
value lies in the TACT that it is
compressed and takes up less
room.
1t has been the object of the de-
partment for some time to find
means of providing food for the
army and navy, which could be
prepared in such way as to save
space, but so far all attempts
have proved unsatisfactory. 1t
is now believed by the officials of
the department. that these tablets
will fill not only government re-
quirements. but those of general
merchandise and family use.

the animal wore no shoes, other.
wise might have been killed. He

ELECTED CASHIER.
Walter Hoover, q Former mcConneIIs.
bury Boy, Enters New Position.

Walter r, Hoover, son of the
late Samuel Hoover, formerly of
this place, was recently elected
cashier of the eAmericanE Exchange
bank Of Superior, Wis, and en-
ter.d upon the discharge of his
new duties, Monday.
OF MIR. Hoover, a recent issue
of a Superior newspaper has this
to say
"l'he newly elected cashier, al
though a young man, is one of
the old residents of the city, hav-
ing come to Superior In 1883.
During his residence in this city
Mr.. Hoover has been one of it's
leading business men and has had
several years experience In the
banking business, which eminent
ly qualities him for the position
he is about to take up. From 1883
until 1892, Mr.. Hoover was en-
gagged In the real estate business.
At the close of the latter year he
accepted the cashlershlp of the
Bank of Iron River at Iron River,
Wis.
"He had charge of the Iron
River bank until 1897, when he
resigned to come to Superior to
form the Standard Grain COM
pany. For two years the COM
pany did a thriving grain bust
ness on the board of trade under
the management of Mr.. Hoover.
He later withdrew from the COM
pany and engaged In the land
business, since which time he has
cOnsummated a number of large
deals in Douglass and adjoining
counties. Some three months
ago he became connected with
the Grand Republic Elevator
company and at the present time
holds a responsible position with
that concern.
Walters many McConnells-
burg friends extend congratula.
tions. In this connection it may
not be forgotten that j. Cal Hoke,
another McConnellsburger, Is
cashier of bank at Merrill, Iowa.

Including the common schools
and the higher institutions of
learning, there are now more than
eighteen and one.half millions of
pupils enrolled throughout the
United States. This is virtually
half the population of France and
more than that of Holland, Bel

Not far from half million teach

ors of this vast army.
Such showing is one which Is
likely to inspire the average
American with patriotic pride,
knowing as he does that 1t can be
equaIled in its numerical array
by no other country on the face
of the globe. Yet, with all the
progress that has been scored
and all the money that has been
expended, 1T Is well to remem ber
that there Is still an unpleasant
proportion of illiteracy IN the Re-
public. This is by no means con-
fined to the negroes. In the Ap-

are several million whites among

CHANGE ~ ROAD LAWS.
Three Supervisors for Each Township Next
: Year. Serve Like School Directors.

year. serve Like SCHOOL UireCiOrs.
Under the new road law which
goes into effect this year there
will be three supervisors for each
township, who will have general
supervision of the district, and a
number of roadmasters under
whose direction the actual work
will be done. Some of the pro-
visions are as follows
The new law provides that in
every township of the second
class land every township in Ful.
ton county is of the second class
at the regular spring election
this year, 1906, there shall be
elected three persons, one for one
year, one for two years, and one
for three years, who shall be styl-
ed road supervisors, and at each
township election thereafter one
person shall be elected for three
years.
This board of supervisors shall
meet on the first Monday of
March, where the township audi
tors meet, and after taking the
oath of Office shall elect one of
their number chairman and one
secretary, and shall appoint one
person, not a member of the
board, treasurer, They shall
then proceed to levy road tax,
not to exceed ten mills on each
dollar of valuation, and shall as
sess each taxable one dollar in
addition to the mlllage tax.
Immediately after organization
the board of supervisors shall di-
vide the township into road dis
tricts, with not less than five
miles of road to each district, and
shall employ a roadmaster for
each district, who shall work up
on the roads himself and see that
the work is done according to the
plans and specifications furn-
ished him by the supervisors. He
shall oversee the employed, keep
their time, and report under oath
to the supervisors as often as
" require. Roadmasters shall
40 times be subject to removal
by the board of supervisors. The
supervisors shall fix the wages,
per hour, for roadmasters and
laborers.
The board of supervisors shall
meet once each month for the
transaction of business, and will
be allowed for necessary expen-
ses, including Office rent, station
cry, light and fuel. There is no
provision In the act of 1905 for
compensation for supervisors,
other than mentioned above, and
presumably they must act with
out compensation as do school
directors.
All vacancies in the board of
supervisors will be filed by the
court upon petition.
No supervisor shall be interest
ed, directly or indirectly, in any
work done, purchase or contract
relating to roads or bridges, nor
furnish any materials therefor,
under penalty Of a fine not ex-
ceeding $500, or Imprisonment
not exceeding six months, or
both.

FROM REV. GEORGE 3 SHOEMAKER.
Having Pleasant Winter in Iowa. Corn
Plenty, and Apples Scarce.

bluOra, Iowa, Dec. 2S.-Ihe
long and lonesome sum rher came
suddenly to an end, and the bright
and beautiful fall of Iowa dawn
ed upon me about the first of Sep.
tenn ber. The charge vas not
due IN any way to The influence
of the heavenly bodies, tut solely
to the safe return of my wife and
daughter from their extended
visit IN the East. The sun has
been shining ever since their re.
turn, and the weather is perfect.
The Bishop returned me to FL
dora for another year, .th rec
months of which have already
passed.
Thus tar our winter has been
very pleasant. With the excep-
tion of a cold snap about Thanks
giving time, we have had no Sc
we're weather. November and
December have passed practical
ly without storm. Some snow
has fallen, but not enough to make
slelghing. 1t Is remarkable that
in some portions of this county
they had snow, enough so 1t could
be plainly seen IN the burrows In
plowed fields, before there was a
killing frost. The corn matured
perfectly before the frosts came,
and Iowa is rejoicing because of
what Kansas would call "bump
err crop of corn. One year ago,
about this time, we had the wol st
snow storm of the whole season.
but to day the sun shines. bright
ly, and the temperature is nearer
that of spring than winter.
We are mourning some out
here because apples are so expen-
sive. Five dollars for barrel
that lacks peck of holding three
bushels; or, in smaller quantities,
fifty cents peck, comes pretty
close to beng two dollars bush
Ell, and then they are not first
class when you get them. Cab
bage sells at three cents pound,
Canada turnips, two and half
cents pound; beans, five cents
or six pounds for quarter, etc.
But, then, we manage to live, and
are happy.
Is this the time of year when,
in the stores in the old town, the
topic of conversation is "hogs
and butcherlng and sausage max
ing and pudding meat and Pom
hause (?). (Mr. Editor, you spell
that word right for me) Yes,

BY the tune you receive this

of the city uniting under the lead
ership of G. G. Smith, of Chicago,
and his singer, Mr.. Holden.
Meetings begin December 81,
