coming false modesty answered the
summons as a call from their alma

on the platform they struck up,
Where you all going fellows?" and
other songs. Neither the yellmaster
nor the students was doing things by

Brown, who had in his modesty retired
to the Y. NJ. c. A. Montgomery noting
the animated presence of Johnnie

great captain. Brown was soon on the
spot. Then the students yelled

ball game when every nerve is on edge
for the honor of the school. They
yelled for the captain, they yelled for
the coach, they yelled for the team.
The freshmen were given right of

WHAT THEY WANT.
State Board of Control Is Formulating
Its Recommendations.

The state board of control is prepar-
ing some recommendations to the legis-
lature on the subject of the control of
private charitable institutions. In or
der to find out what other states are
doing, a letter has been sent to the
boards in charge of state charities in
all states of the union, asking for an

charter board pass upon an application
of a private charitable institution for
a charter?

situations and associations are subject
to visitation, inspection and supervis-
ion of a state board?
What kinds must obtain an annual
license from a state board?
What kinds are required to make an

appreciate it if you would send Us the
forms of reports which you require).
What is your system with reference
to the supervision of children after they
are placed out in family homes?
What general rules has your board
governing private charitable
and associations?
To what extent do you believe that
the state should supervise these private
doing charitable work?
Does your state aid with public
funds any private charitable institu-
ton, and if so to what extent?
What do you require of foreign
corpora ton in order to enable them to
place children within your state?

One Trooper Who Failed to Keep Up
With the Procession.

When the cavalry camp was broken
up at the fair grounds this morning
several of tire soldier boys were wearing
a "hold-over" jag secured from the
closed joints and dry drug stores last
evening. AS a result of this ossified
condition, one trooper was left on foot.
He tried to ride but fell of his horse.
An officer slapped his jaws with a
sword, and gave the horse into the
charge Of another rider. The last seen
of the trooper he was making a wob-
bly, run to catch up with the tail end
of an ambulance.

CREDIT DUE NEWSPAPERS.

If there is any class of business men
in existence who ought to hold the
newspaper fraternity in grateful re-
membrance it is the bankers of the
country. During the financial cris 8
the newspapers were the salvation OF
the country. There was not firebrand
in the entire lot. From one end Of ii Q
country to the other, in village, town
and city, the newspapers urged people
to be calm and serene, assured them
that the finances of the country are
safe and sound and that the banks are
absolutely secure and published the
utterances of noted tinanciers to back
up their statements. Here in Iowa the
circular issued by State Auditor Carroll
was published everywhere thus reliev-
ing what threatened most dangerous
condition. The average obscure coun-
try newspaper man may not have any
credit at the bank but he deserves
we'll of the bank fraternity. Ii he is pre-
pared to print checks, deposit slips.
note heads and the like he ought to
have the privilege of doing so without
having to buck big photographic firm
in great city or cheap sweat-shop
in some remote town. These outfits are
of no help to the banker when the days
of adversely come. The banks need a
lesson in patronizing home concerns as
badly as any class OF people with whom
we are acquainted.-Ceda Falls Record

SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE
What is Causing the lncrea Sc Of
Cdtdrrh In Leon?

In spite of the best efforts of medical
men, catarrhal troubles are increasing
not only in Leon, but all over the coun-
try.
Catarrh is germ disease, and to
cure it germ life in the breathing
organs should be destroyed, and to do
this no other treatment has such posi-
tive and beneficial action as Hyomei.
When the mucous membrane is ir-
ritated and raw and the tissues weak
ened, there is an ideal lodging place
for catarrhal germs. Breathe Hyomei
and see how quickly it soothes the
membranes, vitalizes the tissues and
destroys all the disease germs, render
ing catarrh no longer possible.
There is no dangerous stomach drug
ging when Hyomei is used; no tablets
or liquid mixtures destroying digestion.
Breathed in the neat pocket inhaler
that comes with every Hyomei outfit,
healing balsams penetrate to the most
remote air cells of the throat, nose and
lungs, destroying the catarrhal germs
SO that quick recovery follows.
L. P. Van Werden agrees to refund
the money to any purchaser of Hyomei
who does not find that it does all that
is claimed for it. The complete outfit
costs but $1.0O.

i'm 1885 our republican friends assured
us that the volume of money in the

prosperity of the country but with
this plethora of money here, and a

purposes to draw on, there is no reason
to fear for the future. The president
OF the Second National bank of Du-

BRYAN ON TARIFF EvAsloNs.

Mr.. Bryan's sharp criticisms of re-
publican evasions and false pretense
with respect to tariff revision strike
responsive chords all through the west
and south observes the st. Louis Re-
public. Many an "amen" to them will
be heard from Massachusetts, and 9TH
er industrial states. which are badly
pinched by some of the Dingley SEIZED :
ules.
Standpatter Cannon admits that tar
if revision is inevitable while doing
everything he can to postpone it to the
last day of grace.
Senator Cullom knows that "the peo-
pie want it, but raises no voice in the
senate to demand that the peoples wish
be granted.
Presidential Candidate Taft wants
immediate revision, but consents, in
difference to the opinions of other re.
publican leaders, that it be postponed
until after the presidential election.
President Roosevelt lets it be tacitly
understood that he favors revision, but
remains noncommittal
And while all these great republicans
are shying at the Dingley octopus, it is
taking Sl00,000,000 year unnecessarily
out of the pockets of the American peo-
pie, with no definite promise that there
will be let-up while the republican
party remains in power.
Mr.. Bryan is not wide of the fact in
his guess that the people are getting
more and more in the humor to let the
democrats try their hand on Dingley.

MORE GOVERNMENT CURLING

The law maker with the 'little bill'
is getting into evidence again, now that
the opening session of the Sixteenth
congress is only two weeks away. Along
comes Congressman Hepburn of Iowa
his name already adorns one notable
enactment in the "reform and regula-
tion" movement under Roosevelt-and
he proposes to have the federal govern
ment control and regulate the issues of
stocks and bonds Of all corporations
doing an Interstate business. "Most
certainly" he says, "the government
ought to control these things. The
president and the attorney general are
satisfied that congress has the neces-
sary power; and we certainly know
that the question of power cannot be
decided until the legislation has been
had"
What the congressman has in mind
presumably is the Farrar- Roosevelt
notion that under the "postofice and
postroads" grant of power in the con-
stitution the congress may organize a
system of postroads corporations-tha
is interstate railroads; it is theory,
however. that has few adherents out
side Of the administration and it's adj
visers; and until congress, if it ever
can, takes away from the states their
constitutional right to incorporate rail-
road companies, the sovereign states
will continue to control and regulate
the stock and bond issues not only of
railroad corporations, but of interstate,
industrial and other corpora tions as
we'll.
Even Mr.. Hepburn himself seems to
doubt the power of congress to do this
sort of thing, but he is anxious, obvious
~, to "try it on" no matter what dis
asters might ensue, if only to have the
question settled by the courts.
AS to his further proposition that the
gambling" in railroad stocks "on mar
GIN" it may be sufficient merely to re-
mind him at the outset that it was only
about fifteen years or so ago that the
Farmers Alliance seriously proposed to
have the government prohibit trading
in futures" in agricultural products
and that these same farmers are today
wondering how they could ever have
been such simpletons.
The federal constitution would have
to be amended very materially, it
would appear, in order to clothe the
government with any such power of
control. Congressman Hepburn pro-
poses to employ it's present taxing
power for tho purpose-that is, to
stretch the accepted interpretation Of
that power to cover the buying and
selling of commodities wholly within 9
state. But congress is not so apt a
4stretcher" as some persons outside o
it are.-New York Commercial.

.'ln God we trust" will not be put
upon any U. S. coins hereafter, despite
all protests to the contrary. Roosevelt
has written long letter explaining
his reasons. In part he says:
My feelings in the matter is due to
very firm conviction that to put such
a motto on coins does positive harm. 1t
IS IN effect an irreverence which comes
dangerously close to sacrilege. The
sentence in question should be treated
and uttered only with fine reverence,
implying certain exaltation of spirit.
II is unwise to cheaper the motto by it's
use on coins. Hundreds of times have
heard 1T used as an occasion for an
swering ridicule."
