Valdez College

Opens Monday, Aug. Goth. The un-
usually large attendance last year
warrants the management in increas-
ing its teaching force. Several new
teachers of marked ability and large
experience have been added to the
faculty The school sustains a
thorough and complete Normal De-
partmeut, an up-to-date Business
College and a first-class Shorthand
School. These departments are pre-
sided over by experienced teachers
who can do the work assigned. This
school today is at its best both in at
tendance, and equipment. But few
schools in this country enjoy so large
an attendance. hence it is able to
offer it's patrons the service of the
very best teachers that engage in pri-
vate school work.
The present slccess of this school
in preparing students as teachers,
bookkeepers, and stenographers is
without rival in this section of the
country. It's students find ready en-
ployment. More than 100 students
are employed in banks in the capacity
of Presidents, Vice Presidents, Cash
iers, Assistant Cashiers, Stenogra-
pliers. and Bookkeepers. This college
has placed more students in banking
positions than have all the colleges
in Northern Iowa, Southern Minnie

Sixty.four Times TO Market.

Ben Bear will depart on tomorr
evening on his sixty.fourth semi
annual purchasing trip to New York.
The people of Winnesheik and ad-
jacent counties have during the past
thirty-four years learned to know
what this means. 1t means that
several months in advance of the
season, Mr.. Bear goes to market and
personally selects the cloths, Innings
and styles of his suits, orders their
manufacture according to the latest
STYLES, and when the suits arrive here
next winter they will be absolutely
the best that money can buy, for they
will come from first hands, purchased
for spot cash from the manufacturer,
and by buyer of thorough expert
ence. It's pretty warm weather to be
| dealing in wooden goods, but Mr.
Bear has never been known TO shirk
and will next week be going at a pace
that would swamp many younger
! man. We will stake our reputation
on the proposition that if there are
any exceptional bargains roaming
about New York Mr.. Bear will bring
them home with him.

other contest which put to shade any
thing of the kind ever seen il north
eastern Iowa, when the bartenders
trimmed up the BARRIERS to the tune of
ID to 10. Ihe game was played on
the grounds near Pulpit Rock and a
large number witnessed it. The game
was full of exciting plays and comical
stunts it and was a guess as to which
would win from beginning to end.
Yesterday afternoon the opening
game for the new DEBORAH team took
place at the fair grounds, when they
defeated Maynard by the score of

but the Maynard boys should be given
credit for being gentlemanly fellows
who took their defeat gracefully.
They had splendid battery and had
they been given good support the re-
suit might have been different. The
lineup of the DEBORAH team is as

stand that Burr Oak will have Eiken

GREATEST COLT
ON THE: TURF

SARATOGA, Sept. 5.-It is now
generally conceded that Colin, the
great Commando colt, is the best race
horse seen on metropolitan track in
years, if not the greatest. Mr.. Keene,
the owner and James Rowe, the train
er of Colin, have acknowledged this
fact, not even excepting Sysonby.
Those who have watched the colt
smother his field for speed have no.
ticed one thing, and that is that Colin
is the biggest loafer seen for a long
time. He is only going to do what he
is made to do. In his race with Uncle
the other day he kept head and head
with the Hildreth colt, and was con-
tent to remain in that position the en-
tire journey, despite the fact that he
could have romped into the lead at
any time. 1t was not until Miller went
at him with the whip did he show
desire to improve his position.
In the Grand Union stakes, run
Wednesday, the same thing happened
He allowed Jim Gaftney to keep a
nedU IN front OIL MIN Until WSll lhIS
the stretch, and he would not put
forth his best efforts until Miller drew
his whip. He was compelled to lash
Colin several times before the colt
made a move. Then he ran from the
whip and in a second was four lengths
in front which was increased to SIX
before the finish. If ridden out, there
is not the slightest doubt but thai
Colin could smash every 2-year-olc
record.
! Collins constant companion is a little
notified pony, and whenever he takes
his preliminary this pony accompanies
him. 1t is really amusing to see the
little pony try to measure strides will
| his sturdy companion, and whenevel
the two appear on the track the GROVE
lines the fence to watch the proceed
ing in almost as great numbers as /
a real race was on.
Colin is still unbeaten, and from tn
timber so far shown among the 2
year-olds there is nothing around her
to make him even draw a long breath
He will win for Mr.. Keene almost a
much money as the unfortunate Pete
Pan.

MAN SHOOTS
HIS PARAMOUR

VALLEJO, Cal, Sept. 5.-A. ].
Mowery last night shot and killed
Jeanette Jones, an intimate of dance
hall. and then turned the revolver
upon Jack Ratch, sailor, with whom
the woman was dancing. Mowery fired
twice at Ratch and one bullet went
through the sailors heart, while the
other pierced his brain. The shooter
next turned his gun upon a waiter,
but missed him. The murderer re-
loaded his weapon, placed the muzzle
in his own mouth and blew out his
brains.
Mowery came here this afternoon
from Bellingham, Wash. and at once
instituted search for the Jones wo-
man. They had a long talk and
after Mowery left she said that few
months ago she had been living with
him at Bellingham.
