Mann school at Broadway and 12Oth

Creates Havoc.

Auckland, N. a., June 16.-Advices
here state that for three nights begin
ming May 10 there was a remarkable
volcanic outburst on Savaai, the larg-

eruption was followed by the greatest
low of lava in the history of the
island, it being estimated at nearly
5000 tons per minute. Soon there was
almost a continuous sheet of lava
eight miles wide and from six inches
to six feet deep flowing down the
mountainside. 1t overlooked the cliffs,
destroying many native houses on its
way, dropping into the ocean and caus-
ing an immense uprising of steam.

the Inland Empire.

Under the auspices of Esther Reed
chapter, Daughters of the American
Revolution, flag day, Monday, was
given the most elaborate observance
on record in Spokane. The dedication

battle drew a large crowd from the
city and other parts of eastern Wash

SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE.

To-day we have journeyed far,
My heart and |
Came home 1t dusk meath star
Hung Keen and high.
The morn was blade of steel
Seabbard of white
Bonnie and brave to feel
In FURNISHED light.
As we footed the open road
We sang the sun:
Love was the debt we owed
The day begun.
The hills were abrupt and blue
Castles of kings,
To be won and wandered through
For precious things.
Noon and the long afternoon
Gladness and hope
And shadow that walked too soon
The westward slope.
So is the wild world won
BY them who roam;
But best of the day that is done
The door of home.

ENDS A NOTED CASE
GOBEL POWERS AND JAMES
HOWARD ARE PARDONED.
Tried Four Times for Murder of Will
liam GoebeI, Now Free by Action of
Gov. Willson-Comment by Former
Governor Taylor-Powers to Return
to Former Home, Barboursvile, Ky.

By announcing the pardon Saturday
of Caleb Powers and James Howard,
Governor Wilson of Kentucky closed
the last chapter in one of the most
noted criminal cases in the history of
Kentucky, in which people all over
the United States have shown their
interest by petitions for pardon.
In the closing days of January, eight
years ago, while the contest of William
Geebel for the gubernatorial seat, oc-
cupied by Governor Taylor, was being
held, Goebel was shot, dying later from
! his wound The shot was believed to
have come from half open window
of the secretary of states Office and
as Caleb Powers was then filling that
Office, suspicion was at once directed
toward him, and his arrest followed.
Four times has Powers been put on
trial for his life on the charge of COM
plicity in the murder; the first three
trials resulting in conviction and
sentence, death being the penalty in
two trials.
Governor Wilson gave out several
and James Howard.
The governors reasons for the par
don of James Howard are set forth
to be that after careful examination,
all of the evidence and proceedings of
the trial satisfied him that Howard
had nothing to do with the murder of
William Goebel. but that Henry Yout-
sey formed the plan which was carried
out in the murder of Goebel.
"Righteous Act" Says Taylor.
Indianapolis, Ind.-William S. Tay-
2 Tor, former governor of Kentucky and
now fugitive in this city, where he
has lived since the assassination of
Governor Goebel, made this statement
when he learned of the pardons:
THE pardon of Caleb Powers and
James Howard is a most righteous
act. Never before in the history of
this coustry have two men suffered
more unjustly."
Powers Issues Statement.
Georgetown, Ky.-Caleb Powers
who was pardoned by Governor Will
son, gaveNout a statement in which he
says:
"The decision of Governor Wilson
to the effect that l am entitled to my
liberty after his long and painstaking
examination of the records in all trials
is, / think, as much a vindication OF
my good name as though my liberty
had come through the decision of the
average jury, and especially in view
of the fact that 10 of the jury in the
last trial voted for my acquittal.
81 am going home to my poor old
mother and will remain there a few
weeks in the hope of regaining my
health. If my health is sufficiently
recovered by September 1, l shall re
center the practice of law in my home
Gown, Barbourville, KY, unless some
thing much better presents itself be
tween now and then"

Head of Iowa State Normal
School Addresses Public
School Instructors
"TEAcHINe AS a BUSINESS"
Tells Teachers to Mix With the Peo-
pie, and Not Hold Themselves Aloof
-"Be of the Town Where You Find
Employment; Not Mere sojourn-
err" is President Advice.

Bleaching as a Business" was the
subject chosen by President I'll. ii
Seerley, of the Iowa State Normal
school, in an address delivered before
the city at the home OF Superintend-
ent and Mrs Palmer Friday night
heart-to-heart talk, and delivered
some advice from the standpoint of an
educator and employer of teachers.
The head of the magnificent state
school at Cedar Falls believes that
teachers as a rule are inclined to be
too select and exclusive. They appear
to feel imbued with a spirit of profess
sionalism. They classify themselves as
a profession, hence segregate them
selves in a measure and live in a
school atmosphere outside the school
room.
President Seerley declared this to be
wrong. Get down with the people, he
said. BE Of the people; be the peo-
pie. Ou are AO DClSCl SlAeiA OSAOA AottNe'.
Be of the town where you are en-
ployed; not mere sojourners. Belong to
the church of your faith in the town
where you teach. Belong to the towns
society. Don't consider that you are
here only temporarily. but perma-
nently. Teachers are too much in
clined to feel that they work for the
people, but are not of the people"
Mr. Seerley's thought was that
teaching should be business, con-
Quoted along business principles. The
successful teacher is the one who is of
the people and understands them.
At the conclusion OF the address a
social hour was enjoyed by the teach
ers. Mrs. Palmer served light refresh
ments, assisted by the Misses Par
sons, Seerley, Wilson and Adams.
Friday afternoon Mr.. Seerley adj
dressed the high school pupils and
those of the Woodbury. school He re-
turned to Cedar Falls this afternoon,
accompanied by Mrs. Seerley.

BURGLARY AT LAUREL
Maytag General Store and Bank Are
Hurriedly Visited Before Midnight,
and Small Sum is Stolen From the
Bank - Local Talent is Suspected.

The town of. Laurel had an expert
ence with burglars Friday night. when
some thief paid hurried visit to the
general store of L. r. Maytag & Co.,
and the bank. A small sum was stol-
en- from the bank, where the thief
helped himself to few dollars in
change that was kept in cash draw
er. The burglar gave every evidence
of working in a hurry, and took Moth
ing but the cash Altho there is no
clue, local talent is suspected.
Entrance to the Maytag store was
effected thru the front door of the
Maytag store. The plate glass of one
of the doors was broken, and thru the
hole the spring lock was reached. The
burglary was committed before II
o'clock, for at that hour J. L. Hauser.
who passed the store found the glass
door broken. He Immediately gave the
alarm, but the thief had gone.

Local Comment

| It's about time to get out that old
fishing tackle and overhaul it, espec-
tally the part that is used to inviegle
the wriggling bullhead and club into
the frying pan. The average fisherman
likes to get out his tackle once in
while and put it together, even if he
doesn't expect to use it right away.
&
Another seasonable ramble is a trip
over the garden plot to picture in your
minds eye how that garden is going
to look this year. The early vegetables,
such as lettuce, radishes, and onions,
can go in almost any time now, and
the sweet peas should be planted be-
fore very long.
The French occupants of the last car
thru Marshalltown in the New York to
Paris automobile race may not be able
to get along very we'll with the kings
English. but a certain MarshalltoWn
citizen can vouch for the fact that they
eat as we'll in English as any native
born.
The recent directory canvass has
shown a gain in population since the
last directory was issued, which is
gratifying to all who have the interests
of Marshalltown at heart The prob
abilities are, however, that the gain is
really greater than the directory esti-
mate shows, for, no matter how thor
oughly directory men do their work,
there are bound to be misses. This is
demonstrated forcibly in offices where
the directory is given daily use. 1t is
unfortunate that a directory was pub
lished at this particular season Of the
year. On the very eve of the annual
moving season, April 1. the new book
will show many changes even within
a few weeks time, and will conse-
quenty lose some of it's value.
People who rent houses and are eX-
periencing the great lack of suitable
modern homes that is apparent here at
the present time, can secure an object
lesson when they go into some other
Iowa cities to find homes Other towns
are having much the same experience
as Marshalltown, in the way Of a scar
city of good houses, but no town as
yet has been found where there was
practically nothing on the market to
rent. A resident of this city who in
vestigated Cedar Rapids as prospec-
tive place to live when he was unable
to find a house here, was shown new
house built for renting purposes. 1t
cost $4,000 to build, and occupied a
lot that stood the owner $3.50 This in
yestment of $3.50 brought to the own
err monthly rental of $50, and had
just been leased for a period of three
years. A house costing as much in
Marshalltown would rent for half as
much money, and still the owner would
feel that he was getting a fair return
on his investment. You had better
live if you can where the landlord
doesn't want your entire salary.
A well-known Marshalltown man
has the right idea in negotiating for
the purchase of a corner lot. with the
expectation of building four modern
houses to rent. A private heating

Superintendent Palmer, Of the pub
lie schools, is showing level head on
the subject of spelling. The first of
the series of matches among the grade
pupils indicates that the public is also
greatly Interested and is anxious to
join with the children in helping make
the events a success. There is no need
to deny the fact that in the average
public school work of today there is
far from sufficient attention paid to
spelling. In our grandfathers' day,
spelling was one of the rudiments of an
education. and the result was gen.
Grafton of good spoilers. Spelling may
be somewhat fashioned, but it is Il
necessary adjunct III the business
world, and should be given its full
share of attention at the hands of edu-
Gators.
