| The newspapers are full of poiti-

The story told in moving pictures
of The Hoosier's Fight for the Old
Homestead, at the Electric Theater
Tuesday and Wednesday was one of
the best stunts ever put on at this
popular place of amusement. The
prologue which preceded. and the
after-clap, that succeeded. a hurri-
cane six-round go. with dead to
the world knockout for climax,
seemed to be thoroughly enjoyed by
the large and cosmopolitan audiences
in attendance, some of whom had
probably never before witnessed
such a realistic depletion of every
day scenes in the fistic arena. The
fistic exhibition was evidently taken
from real life. and it had every ap-
pearance of being on the dead thiev-

of the mortgage and the old folks
who were about to be evicted from
the old homestead, with a dutiful
son who was handy with his dukes

At the April meeting of the
Emerson school board Miss
Ellen Duhigg of Modale, Iowa,

Miss Duhigg is a teacher of
high school experience, holding
a certificate which entities her
to teach in any high school or
college in the state for life.

some or our county boards to
make a more earnest effort to
hold such teachers within their
own county.
