TO TRAIN YOUNG
MEN OF THE CITY
This to be Object Of the
Association Institute of
the Y. M. C. A.

The Association Institute OF the
Young Mems Christian Association has
struck the kew note in the method of
instruction and subject matter of the
courses offered. A. l.. Turner, the
educational director. has spent the
past several months here making 4
careful study OF the particular needs
Of the young men. This Investigation
has been carried on by means of con-
ferences with the heads Of firms and
corporations, general managers fore
men, ub-foremen, the men i'm the
various trades the apprentices and
helpers. lie has visited these men in
the offices, shops and in their homes.
Mr.. Turner brings 10 this investiga-
tion trained mind together with sew
oral years Of very successful expert
ence in educational work. The value
OF this study to the city cannot yet be
estimated nor can il ever be adequate
ly measured in dollars and cents. As
the years go by the real value will be-
come more and more evident as the
results appear I'm better trained men
in the Office. shop and factory. Better
training means better salaries; better
salaries mean better homes and sur
means better service. more intelli-
gently directed. II means a better
quality Of product at less cost.
The need as interpreted by Mr.. Tur-
ner Is for courses especially planned
for the various occupations, and per-
sonally taught by skilled. practical
men-mon who are "in the harness."
men who are practicing in the day
time what they teach at night.
The work IS not all made out in ad-
vance so that everyone must follow
out exactly the same lines in detail
but is adapted to each student as he
advances In other words, the courses
are not stereotyped and made to fit
the largest numbers with the least
possible labor and expense but neither
labor nor expense is spared to give
each pupil the highest possible eff
cheney In brief. the association is not
working for money. but for men. It's
goal is not numbers il is quality. The
aim of the institute is TO turn out The
best trained men In the city.

Scranton of the New York state League,

there is nothing more to play for and to-

The result was a great surprise. for on

The TWO West Points.


The sensations of the new cadet
when. after the climb from the boat
landing, he finally reaches the plain
those first sensations linger q long
while. There are two West Points
the actual West Point and the over.
arching, spiritual one, of which the
cadet only becomes conscious about
the time he graduates, writes Gen.
Norris Schaff in Atlantic Monthly.
The determinate West Point that Is
to be his master for four years, and
the shaper Of his destiny, meets him
at the top of the slope with ominous
silence. He hears no voice, he sees
no portentous figure; but there is COM
municated in some way, through some
medium, the presence of an invisible
authority, cold, memorable and re-
lentless. Time never wears away this
first feeling; 1t comes back to every
graduate on returning to West Point,
let his years and his honors be what
they may. And perhaps it Is just as
well that 1t be SO; that there is one
place left in our country where van
fty Of asserted ancestry and the too
frequent arrogance of speculative and
fortuitous commercial leadership find
chill.

The Stuyvesants In America.

American families may not be OF
long duration measured by the stand
ard which can be applied to some old
world houses. Still, the death Of a
lineal descendant of Peter Stuyvesant,
and one of the few who lived to see
the twentieth century, recalls some
stirring and swiftly-ma6e history.
Robert Stuyvesant, who has been
gathered to his Dutch ancestors, his
bones to be laid away in a family
vault where many of the kindred dust
repose, was a link between present
and past and one whose life suggests
q marvellous contrast between the past
and present of the city that was his
home. Peter Stuyvesant, the last
Dutch governor of New Amsterdam,
was a strong and vigorous character,
with a peppery disposition that kept
him in hot water with many of his
contemporaries, including the sturdy
Dutch PATRONS who then controlled
a good part of this section Of the
country. But unquestionably he left
an impress on his times, and the name
to the present day carries with it dis
tinction and honor.

MURDERER CAUSES
REIGN OF Terror
HE SHOOTS HIS SISTER N-LAW
BECAUSE SHE REFUSED
TO MARRY HIM.
Attempts Another Similar Crime and
Burns Some Buildings. Hun
dreds of Farmers JON Hunt and
Land Him in Jail.

DEBORAH, Iowa, Jan. 22.-After
committing series of crimes that
terrorized a community and resulted
in an exciting man hunt by a posse
OF hundreds of farmers, William Bal
zell is in Jail at Waukon.
Balzell, who lives in Ludlow town
ship, Allamakee county about fifteen
miles east of DEBORAH, went to the
home of Mrs. M. Bollman and killed
his sister-in-law, Mrs. J. G. Giddes,
who was working for, Mrs. Bollman,
shot at Harry Bollman, but missed
him, and then went to the home of
Marshall Bollman, where he set fire
to the barns.
Balzell is widower with seven chill
dren and wanted to marry his sister
in-law, whose husband had deserted
her, but from whom she was not
divorced. She refused and the shoot
ing resulted.
Balzell seemed to think the Boil
mans were trying to keep the woman
away from him, and it is supposed he
intended to kill Marshall Bollman al
so, as he called the name three times
before setting fire to the barn. He
then lay down on the ground, appar-
emily waiting for some one to come
out to fight the flames.
Towards evening he went to the
home of James Emery, of who he
demanded supper, which he ate with
his gun resting across his knees. He
left Emery's just as the sheriff of
Allamakee county drove in and es-
capped through the timber, going to
his brothers. home. His brother took
his gun away from him and he was
later arrested in the woods near
Postsville and taken to Waukon.

CHARGE OF ARSON Is MADE
C. c. BREuER, CINCINNATI CAPT.
TALIsT, is ARRESTED.
Daughters Had Been Awarded Rental
of Building Whose Destruction
Was Attempted.

Cincinnati, jan 18.-The arrest
Friday of c. G. Breuer, local capital
list, on a warrant sworn out by Deputy
States Fire Marshal Ambrose, charg-
ing arson. was the elimination of a
contest between Breuer and his Sec
ond wife, and his two daughters by a
first wife, that has continued for two
or three years.
Claiming i'll treatment by their step
mother, the girls left home and went
to live with friends in Kentucky near
ly three years ago, evading their
father by removing from the state.
In the sensational developments
that followed his attempt to make
them live with their step-mother and
their demand that he furnish them
proper support elsewhere, the courts
were appealed to and the juvenile
court in this city finally took them
away from their father entirely, but
ordered that he provide them with an
income from the rentals of the Frank
lin building, substantial five-story
block occupied by various tenants. AS
the months passed the building was
gradually vacated and Breuer recently
filed deed of assignment.
Thursday a clerk had occasion to
visit the building and found lighted
candle connected with can of kero-
sene, fuse and two sticks of dyna-
mite, apparently indicating an attempt
to blow up and burn the building.
The police were notified and reported
that they saw a man enter the build
ing later in the night and that they
had also found other evidences con-
Meeting the same man with the at
tempt to dynamite the building.
No name was given out in that con-
nection, but Friday afternoon the
state fire marshal swore out war
rant for the arrest of Breuer on a
charge of arson, and the arrest fol-
lowed Breuer is well known and has
been considered quite wealthy.

The way some persons cling to cot.

them harm, is puzzler. But it is an
easy matter to give it up for good,
when Postum Food Coffee is properly
made and used instead.
A girl writes: Mother had been
suffering with nervous headaches for
seven weary years, but kept drinking
coffee.
Zone day I asked her why she did
not give up coffee as cousin of mine
had done who ha5 taken to Postum.
But Mother was sucA slave to coffee
she thought it would be terrible to
give it up.
Finally, one day, she made the
change to Postum, and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One morning
while she was drinking Postum so
freely and with such relish asked for
taste.
That started me on Postum and
now drink it more freely than / did
coffee, which never comes into our
house now.
"A girl friend of mine, one day, saw
me drinking Postum and asked IL it
was coffee. told her it was Postum
and gave her some to take home, but
forgot to tell her how to make it.
''The next day she said she did not
see how l could drink Postum. found
she had made it like ordinary coffee.
So l told her how to make it right
and gave her a cupful made, after
boiling it fifteen minutes. She said
she never drank any coffee that tasted
