When Marriage Is Unsuitable.

The increase OF population comes
largely from those who live in modest
circumstances, on daily wages. Many
of them accumulate something; on the
average, more of them accumulate
than those who spend so much for So
cial appearances But the unfortunate
thing is that so many young persons
marry with little or nothing and with
the most hazy prospects in life. The
young man should marry when he has
accumulated little and has good
prospects. The girl should mar
ry only when she is willing
to live well within her hus-
bands income and help him to save.
A man is made or lost according to
the temperament of his wife. Phila-
delphia inquirer

Of the many innovations introduced
in our public schools by City Superin-
tendent Gotham perhaps the most i'm
portant is the revival of the old-time
Friday afternoon exercises known
in the upper grades as ''rhetoricals. .
Mr.. Gotham believes that one of the
chief aims of education should be to
cultivate the child's ability to express
his thoughts intelligently in correct
English, freely and unabashed. Moth
ing will so promote the latter of these
qualifications as frequent appearance
before the whole school with q recita-
tion or essay, although to many pupils
it is the most trying ordeal of their
school life. One who has had this
tanning from the primary grade up is
pretty apt to acquit himself well when
graduation time comes.

Fire i'm Central Office.

A busy little conflagration was
started late Wednesday evening last
at the central telephone quarters in
the Eddy building, caused by a
"cross" with an electric wire in
some part of town. Miss Gluck, the
operator on duty at the time, hnr-
riedly summoned help and the flames
were subdued before they attained
much Roadway. The contact with
the electric line, however, put the
exchange out of business for several
days. Supt Orr upon being notified
hurried all his spare construction
crews here and they have been busy
since stripping off the old connec.
tons and centering everything at the
new central in the Haines building
The fire has caused considerable in.

Mrs. Kimban Injured.

Mrs. Sarah NJ. Kimball, of De-
corah, mother of Frank and Bert
Kimball, of our city, met with a
serious accident Thursday of last
week. She was on the train coming
to the Kimball home in this city for
a visit. When the train neared West
Union the brakeman took her satch-
ell and started for the door, thinking
she was to get off the train at that
station. Mrs. Kimball became excit-
ed, partly rose, and called out to
him. Just then the train stopped
and she was violently thrown into
the seat. A young lady who got off
the train at West Union informed
the brakeman of his mistake and he
returned the baggage. After the
fall Mrs. Kimball noticed a severe
pain in her side, and, when she had
completed her journey and arrived
at the home of her son, Frank, here,
the pain was so severe that a physi-
clan was called and upon examina-
ton it was found a couple of ribs
had been fractured. The lady was
made as comfortable as possible and
is now getting along nicely-Elgin

Norwegian and met with such a
ready sale, that it was decided to
have them translated and printed in
English. The translation was done
by Peer Stromme of Madison, Wis,
AID the printing and binding has
been done in most commendable
manner by the local institution, be-
ing a work that is a credit to this
publishing house. The book sells for
rs cents, and its contents are so
valuable that the edition will prob
ably soon be exhausted.

The Latest Fad.

The latest fad in society is the tub
cure. In this the patient arises just
as the crisp air of morning is mel
lowed by the first sunbeam. An or
binary washtub is then filled with
hot water and soap suds, into which
various articles of linen are thrown.
After they are thoroughly saturated
the patient takes them up one at a
time and rubs them briskly up and
down on a dashboard placed in the
tub. This is kept up until the hands,
arms and face are a glowing pink.
The patient then goes into the open
air and hangs all the linen articles
on a line stretched for that purpose.
The one completing the task first an
nounces the time to others over the
telephone, and is entitled to a prize
1t is excellent sport and also invigor.

HIGH SCHOOL NEWS NOTES.
Items of Interest Concerning the
City Schools, Reported by the
superintendent.

An effort has been made by all
the teachers to call upon the parents
who have children in their respective
grades. Up to the present time a
few homes have not been visited
but the plans are to miss none if
it is possible.
The boys OF the 5th and 9Th
grades OF the West Side school are
making a collection of the woods
of this locality and hope to classify
them.
We are contemplating a parent
teachers meeting sometime in the
near future, when an address upon
the possibilities and work of such a
club will be made by the Superin-
tendent. These organizations are
doing much good in many of the
cities and some states where Or
ganized, and stimulate much interest
in the child and school work.
DR.. Green has kindly consented
to give talk upon General Grant
soon, when he will donate an etch-
ing of this noted general. DR.. Green
was more or less acquainted with
him for a number of years, and will
be able to give some first hand
knowledge and facts regarding him.
A number of the veterans are ex-
pected to be present and all are in
vited.
The monthly reports of the various
grades show some Improvement in
the matter of attendance and alb
sences in many of the rooms.

school Vacation This Week.

The city schools are enjoying a
vacation this week Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, the teach
ers going to Des Moines and Min
neapolis to visit the schools of
these two cities, and attend the
state teachers meeting at the
former city. 1t has been Gus
tomary TO close the schools so that
the teachers might attend the north
eastern Iowa teachers association
meeting, but it was thought this
year that more good would result
from visits to city schools than from
attending the convention, hence the
vacation this week.

Kick Your Own Shadow.

If you are a kicker and see the
shadows Of failure in everything that
is proposed to help the town, fol-
heavens sake go into some secluded
canyon and kick your own shadow on
the clay bank, and give the men who
are working to build up the town a
chance. One long-faced, hollow-eyed
whining, gaping, chronic kicker can
do more to keep away business and
capital from town than all the
drouths, short crops, chinch bugs
cyclones and billiards combined
That's the way the editor of one OF

Keeping the BOYS.

1t would seem reasonable to as
sumo that much might be done along
the line Of keeping boys and girls
on the farm if more plans were taken
to make the rural neighborhood more
attractive. In one respect particu-
larly do we believe a great improve
| ment might be made-that is, in the
building of more attractive and COM
modious school houses and the keep
ing of the grounds in better shape,
says the Rockford Register. There
is little reason to wonder that the
young people of a community aren't
particularly impressed with the edu-
cational and social life of the dis
trict when the school facilities are
so meagre and so poorly maintained.
They argue, whether rightly or not,
that this state of things points to a
virtual disregard for education on
the part of patrons and directors
and that development of the head
isn't worth while when it comes to
achieving success in agriculture. The
net result of this attitude is that
those who Have got the brightest
minds and most energy light out
when occasion offers for some place
and type of work where their capa-
cities will be given opportunity to
develop. We do not hold that their
action is wise. There is great pro-
vocation for 1t. 1t is becoming more
evident every day that there is no
field of effort where brains energetic
ally directed will bring uniformly
larger or surer rewards than in agri-
culture. The great need of the day
is to get the boys and girls to ap-
preciate this fact. A more whole
some and wideawake attitude on the
part of the old folks would help to
bring this about. 1t is time agricul-
tural communities appreciated the
opportunities at hand and put on
better front.

Raising a Boy.

It is all very we'll when you have
nothing to do but kill time to talk
about keeping the boys on the farm,
but you might as we'll spend your
time splitting at crack. Boys will
stay on a farm as well as anywhere,
if they receive decent treatment at
home. The boy who is yanked out
of bed by the hair, kicked out To
milk and cuffed in to breakfast, as
a preliminary to being popped
through in the field all day, is not
likely to be consumed by his love
for the glories of agriculture-nor
for his sire. Give the boy fair
show, and he'll stay with you till
the cows come home. If you are SC
mean he can't stay home, don't you
go to your neighbors with hypo-
critical shuttle and tell about your
boys ingratitude after you have
raised him.

HOUSE EXTENDS
TERM Of OFFICE
Passes Bill LegiSIating Office
Holders into PerpetuatiOn
of BerthS.

The house yesterday passed by bare
constitutional majority house bill No. 1870
This bill provides that the sheriff and
county clerk shall have four-year in
stead of two-year terms, and further
more makes the act operative so as to
affect those officers who were elected last
fall. The object of the bill. of course,
is to elect these officials at the same
election when the president is chosen. The
party in power naturally has some ad-
vantage. as they see it.
An effort was made to include the re-
corder and assessor, but both were lost.
The argument in favor of including the
assessor met with some degree of kind
iy feeling, inasmuch as the argument in
behalf of the amendment seemed to be
worthy OF consideration. This argument
was to the effect that assessors serving
longer term would naturally become
more familiar with the property in their
county as time grew on.
Mr.. Norris made vigorous objection. He
declared that when the men elected last
fall received the endorsement of their
counties they knew that they were elect
ed for two years only. He declared with
emphasis that the principle of legislat-
ing men into office was contrary to all
ideas of government by the people.
The final vote stood q to 10, with seven

MAIN BUILDING

terdav after prolonged debate on the
ACCESSIBILITY of such legislation. An amend

ated the feature of $4,000 desired for the
purpose of commencing work at Cnce. an
instead OF the state lOsning the university
500 900. the entire amount. $50 coo is to
be loaned the institution as a corpora
ton.
Attorney General Albert Barnes ex-
pressed the opinion that it would be IN
constitutional to handle the matter in ac-
cOrdance with the form of the original
bill but il is believed that the measure
in its amended form will accomplish the
desired object.
President Kingsbury Of the university
asked that provision be made for the cost
of maintenance of the new building, but no
action was taken. This feature may be
taken up when maintenance appropria-
lions are made.
The amended bill passed the house by a
vote Of a to 9, the opposition taking the
stand that there was no justification for
additional indebtedness, even in the IN
terest of education.
