LEADERS WERE WALLOPED.

Bridgeport, Feb 12.-In a game filled to the brim with exciting sit nations and brilliant plays, the Dumplings. as the local polo sharks have come to be called. trampled the New Britain leaders in the mire of defeat at the Brooklawn rink last night by the score of to 2.
 Bridgeport started without the services of Duggan and the team was handicapped by lack of speed. The work was fast and furious, but there was nothing doing until Williams went out and Duggan came in. The Kid caged the ball almost immediate ly and the welkin did the stunt for it has become famous. Lots of cheers and a few catcalls for New Britain. There was no further scoring in that period.
 Tn the second round things started right of the reel. Dicky Pierce got the little joker and by one of his celebrated bursts of speed drove the ball into the New Britain netting in 26 seconds. Howls of delight from the rooters. Schifier broke the ice for the visitors by getting the ball past Mitchell and the plot began to thicken. But Kid Duggan caused more enthusiasm by tallying beauty in 37 seconds.
 The last period was sizzler. Schiffer gave Bridgeport heart fail- ure by caging one in 2:3S, but the locals went into the fray and repelled all attacks on the goal for the re- mainder of the time, When time was up the crowd let out a mighty roar and beat 1t for the trolley cars. The score:
 Bridgeport. New Britain. Whipple. DuRRan SchifYer

TO LE6ALIZE TEACHERS GER
TIFlCATE TO TEACH.
Act Prepared to LegaliZe All Ger
tificates Issued Before New
Law went into Effect.

Des Moines, Jan. 24.-Nineteen thous-
and teachers in the schools of Iowa who
are facing proposition which may re-
suit in their being forced to refund
their salaries since the new certificate
law went into effect October 1st will
await with breathless interest the fate
of a legalizing act which attorneys for
county superintendent Jennie Steele
Huegle will present to the legislature.
Mrs. Huegle's attorneys have made
the discovery, calculated to bring dis
may to holders of certificates granted
under the old law, that section 27SS of
the code bars such certificate holders
from drawing salaries. 1t is stated that
Mrs. Huegle is not alone in this condi-
tion for there are six county superin-
tendents in Iowa who are similarly
placed, in addition to the thousands Of
teachers named above.
At the present time, Mrs. Huegle's
right to Office is resting upon whether
the supreme court shall affirm or reverse
the recent decision of Judge McHenry,
who held that the certificate held by
Mrs. Huegle under the old act was not
nullifed when the new one took effect
in October. If the supreme court should
reverse Judge McHenry, every certif-
cate similar to Mrs. Huegle's within
Iowa could be attacked.

CATARRH GROWING LESS.
Due to the Use of Hyomel. Cures
Without Stomach Dosing.

There has been marked falling off of
sales of catarrh cures in the local
stores the past year. Medicines which
were formerly purchased in gross lots
are now seldom called for, and the
druggist rarely buys more than a dozen
at time.
Hyomei is a notable exception to this
decrease in sales. 1t is, in fact, largely
responsible for the lessened sales of
catarrh medicines, as it has cured SO
many people of catarrhal troubles that
naturally there is less call for that di-
sease.
There is no disagreeable stomach
dosing with Hyomei. 1t is breathed
through neat pocket inhaler that
comes with every Hyomei outfit. L. P.
Van Werden give his personal guaran-
tee that the money will be refunded
unless the treatment cures, so that you
run no risk at all in buying this reliable
remedy.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
81, extra bottles, if needed, SOC.

A GOOD PENSION BILL.
Will Bring Glad Tldings to Hearts
of Many Old Soldiers.

The senate of the United States has
passed service pension bill giving
every survivor of the civil war over the
age of sixty-two years a pension
of So per month, to be increased
to SIS at the age of seventy, and $50 at
the age of seventy-five. This is ma
terial increase over the present pension
rates. The house will undoubtedly pass
the bill and it will become law. Pen
sion Commissioner Warner estimates
that the bill will add $15,000,000 to the
pension expenditure. But the increase
will not be for a great while. In the
year that ended June 80 last. thirty-six
thousand pensioners died. For the first
time since the war the decrease in the
pension roll exceeded the increase.
The whole number of pensioners is a
little below one million. The death rate
will increase rapidly. The average age
of survivors of the union army is sixty
six. Many are past seventy. The
country will endorse this service pen
sion. The men who preserved the
union are the men who laid the found
alton for our country's present pros
perity. They cannot be overpaid.

The initiative and referendum is grow
ing in public favor. In his message to
the Minneapolis legislature Governor
johnson said: 81 would call your at
tention to the merits of the advisory in
ltiative and referendum. This permits
the people of a state, county, city, vii
lage or town to express their views up
on questions affecting their organization
and is fast gaining ground upon the
theory that the duly elected officers are
the servants Of the people who elected
them and will be guided by the expressed
views of a majority. The advisory in
itiative and referendum is but a step
farther than the right of petition, and
is not binding upon the officers. The en-
actment of law providing for an adj
visory initiative and referendum can be
accomplished without constitutional
amendment, and | am firmly of the
opinion that such legislation is desirable.
There can be, | am sure, no valid reason
against the submission to the people of
a proposed constitutional amendment
providing for direct initiative and ref
erendum. This would give the people
an opportunity to vote on the question
whether or not they want the right to
instruct their representatives and also
the further right to pass upon the laws
enacted by their legislature. But
whether or not you would care to go so
far in this direction. would urge your
consideration of plan for an advisory
Initiative and referendum

Startling Announcement.

The Alaska Monthly Magazine, pub
lished at Juneau, in the land of glaciers,
makes the startling announcement that
one of it's staff has discovered the long
sought cause of the Glacial Period Of
the world, that for fifty years has been
the inscrutable mystery of geology.
1t says: 'The cause of the Great Ice
Age was also the cause of the Biblical
Deluge. Both phenomena resulted
from the same event-a frightful catas-
trophe to the earth. This discovery
fully accounts for the tremendous
waters of the flood as described in holy
writ, fully confirming it. 1t has also
brought to light most tragic prehis-
toric period in the life-story of the
earth, not heretofore fully recognized"
The Alaska Transcript says:
This is news the discovery of the
cause of the flood that will interest our
readers as well as all Christendom, for
heretofore there has been no scien-
tific and sufficient explanation of that
catastrophe. In fact, most of our learn
ed men discredited it or explained it as
local affair of much less Importance
than it was, as described in the bible.
But now.it is to be accounted for scien-
tifically; and the world will be astonish-
ed when it comes to understand the
truly extraordinary conditions that
produced it. 1t will also clear up many
of the unsolved mysteries of prehistoric
times, carrying back our viewpoint
many thousand years.
"The February number of the above
magazine will contain the first or intro
ductory article on the subject. We adj
wise our readers to get it and read it,
without fail"

Col. John O'Keeife of this city is
sporting new hat which he won off an
ardent and enthusiastic Hepburn man
down in Page county. When the salary
grab bill, which was to raise the
salaries of members of congress from
$4,000 to $500, was before the House,
Col. O'Keeffe, knowing so we'll the pro-
1clivities of Hepburn to "grab," remark
ed that it would get his vote. The
Page county man Immediately offered
to bet the Colonel $500 new hat that
Hepburn would vote against the bill.
But he didn't and Col. O'Keeffe now
sports new head piece. A man who
will vote to pay himself six hundred
dollars mileage for travelling from
Washington to Clarinda and back be-
tween the extra and regular sessions
of Congress, when he hadn't moved out
of his seat is not likely to vote against
a salary grab that gives him $4,000
extra pay for two years service. By
the way, it is queer the republican
papers of this district never found out
how Hepburn voted on these measures,
and yet it is not SO queer after all
when we recollect that all their editors
are either holding post offices or expect
to hold them by the grace of the Great
ST. Peter of the Eighth district, and the
continuance of Peter in Office depends
upon keeping the people in ignorance
Of his record. There is probably not
one per cent Of the republican voters
in the Eighth Congressional district
who know that Hepburn was the only
member of Congress from Iowa who
voted for this salary grab. -Creston

The report of the state geologist
shows that the mineral wealth of Iowa
is good deal more than some people
would imagine, the total mineral pro-
ducts for last year footing up SIS, 103, DAG.
About two thirds of this is for coal. The
next largest item is clay, of which we
produce $3,40S,547 worth. Gypsum is
third $5S9,055; stone fourth, $533, 500.
The five greatest mineral producing
counties are Monroe, Polk, Appanoose,
Webster and Mashaska in the order
named, each producing more than a
million dollars worth.

Official statistics show that 12,4S5 of
the 1859 homestead filings last year in
the Canadian northwest were made by
immigrants from the United States.
The number of homestead settlers from
the United States, altho hardly as great
as was expected, is still more than
double the number from England. 1t is
also a material increase over the record
of the preceding year.

The Waterloo Reporter notes that dur

500 postoffices in Iowa have been dis

of rural free delivery. Nobody of ac-
