In recent years the work in the office
of county clerk has been enlarged by
requiring the clerk to act as probate
Judge during vacation; and to fill the
position well he should have legal
education or be trained in the office.
Mr.. l., A, MeGinnis, the republican
candidate, has had the advantage of
several years as deputy with the pres
ent incumbent and is therefore thor
oughly prepared to do the work in en-
efficient manner. After returning from
the war, in which he gave loyal SER
vice, he attended school and taught
for number of years, an experience
that will be of much benefit to him in
clerical work. 1t has been the rule in
the Office to advance the deputy to first
place after he had been trained to per-
form it's duties. And in promoting Mr..
McGinnis the voters will elect man
who is a staunch republican. and
worthy and upright citizen. Let every
republican vote for Mr.. McGiDnis for
Clerk of the District Court.

HEATING AND VENTILATION
A Question OF Much Importance, Especi.
ally in the School Buildings

Now that the winter is upon us
again, the question of heating and
ventilation in our dwellings and school
rooms becomes of great Importance,
not only as matter of comfort but of
life and health. Crowded and over
heated rooms are the principal cause
of colds, coughs and consumption.
The county Superintendent has sent
out a card TO the teachers calling their
particular attention to this matter and
urging them to keep, steady, even fires
to be careful of drafts and ventilate
by putting boards under the windows.
We would suggest right here that the
directors should go with board and
a saw to assist the teacher in provid-
ing the ways and means to secure
proper ventilation.

One of the most important offices in
the county is that of County Auditor.
and it takes a man who is capable
and reliable to fill it in a success
full manner. Mr.. Cousins is not only
a man of education and ability but a
man of experience and training in that
particular work during the last four
years while serving as deputy in that
Office. He has also been lifelong re.
publican and highly deserving as a
member of the party. When but a
young man he entered the Twenty
Fourth Iowa in which he made an en-
viable record in the Union Army.
While in the field in 1864 ne voted for
Abraham Lincoln, and has voted for
all the republican presidents since that
time. Mr.. Cousins should receive the
vote of every republican in the county.

Republican Candidate for County Treasurer
County Treasurer Kellogg has saved
to the taxpayers in interest on deposits
over nine hundred dollars during his
first term in the office, and in addition
turned over to the county over one
hundred dollars in letter fees, which
was never done before. His official
duties and the rainy weather has pre-.
vented him from seeing as many of the
voters as he wanted to see; but he
trusts all republicans will rally to his
support for the second term. He re-
turns his thanks for past favors and
also for good vote at the polls next
Tuesday.

The recital Monday evening at
Lexington college was one of unusual
interest to LexingtOnians rs the per.
formers were mostly children from
local patronage. The stage was
beautiful with clusters of bright
flowers aud was a fitting setting for
the dainty representatives from the
''rose bud garden Of girls" whose in
nocent charms were enhanced by
jaunty frocks and fresh ribbons. The
severer straight lines needed to com
plete the picture we're furnished by
the two young violinists. 1t was like
a bit of fairy-land transferred to our
work-a-day world. The tinkling
strains Of music that fell from little
fingers rendered the charm complete.
The pupils all showed careful training
along right lines. The selections
chosen lead naturally to the higher
classics and give promise Of an uplift
from the rag-time craze.
Every performer deserved praise and
the audience showed its appreciation
by hearty rounds of applause. The
only encore responded to except by a
bow of acknowledgement was that of
little Miss Frazer who delighted the
hearers with ''The Rooster" whose
clear "Cock-a-doodle-doo' vas very
realistic.

When Miss Lucille DowelI gave her
recital for graduation in piano last
Saturday evening at Mnrrell|
auditorium she reached a climax in
her musical career after five years
OF diligent and Conscientious work at

manner in which she gave the diff
icult program demonstrated that her
work was Enthusiastically worth while.
She has improved wonderfully dur
ing the current year in memory,
technique and musical c%omprehen-
sion. Even her friends were sur
prised at the proficiency she dis
played Saturday evening.

DOUGLAS HAS NOTED
TEAM OF B00TBLACKS
Vaudeville Show Given While
Shoes Are Shined.

Shorty" Lewis and freddie" Cow
an, two popular members of the local
baseball team, have, within the last
two days, become the busiest men in
the city. They have leased the shoe
shining stand, in front of the Mer-
chants Cafe and attract the attention
of the passersby as they cry out,
Next" Shorty and RED" are more
than professionals in the new business,
they are true artists. The art, though,
is not in the product of elbow grease,
although they do put up a decent shine,
but it Is what they give on the side.
Both are as handy with their feet as
the most professional soft shoe dancer
on the vaudeville stage. When the
custom anchors in the chair and the
operation begins, he is so entertained
with the hand exhibition working in
perfect time, he cannot refrain from
applauding. The boys are only on
duty in the morning and eveng, as our.
ing the afternoon they are hard at
work no the baseball field, getting in
trim for winning team. So far the
young men have enjoyed very profit
able business and during business
hours they are as busy as jumping
jacks. Remember the exhibition hours.
