CLOSE OF A CREAR CAREER

The career of Prof. A. N. Currier
of Iowa City. VINO was for so many
years one of the guiding stars of the
University is reminder to US that
success may be achieved without
noise. or bombast, and that the sim
pie doing of ones duty is not always
without reward.
Quiet, transformations, unassuming.
faithful, kindly and upright, we be-
lieve Dean Currier had much more en-
joyment in life than many who are
striving for display. for notoriety and
for the flasher, flimsier pleasures.
The man who will pay five thousand
dollars for an automobile and sell his
own soal for So 48. has distorted
idea of values and can never know
the comforting peace of mind possess
ed of such men as Dean Currier.
We do not believe it is good bar
gaining even for this world. to say
nothing about the embarrassing situa-
ton in which it will place man il

THERE WILL A TOTAL ECLIPSE
Sun will Be Darkeued for First Time IN Forty
Years. Moon will also do Black
Face Stunt

Aetotal eclipse of the sun is sched-
uled to occur on Thursday, June II,
visible in all portions of the United
States except in the extreme southern.
The eclipse will begin in this Sec
ton at about $40 in the evening and
will continue until after sunset. At
the time of the disappearance of Old
Sol the moon will obscure about one
half of his area.
The last total eclipse of the sun
was viewed here shortly after the
close of the Civil war, or to be exact,
in 1869. This eclipse will be remem-
bered by many who yet speak of the
queer experience and it is an event
which yet figures largely in the folk
lore of the Southland.
The last total eclipse of the sun
darkened the south central states Of
America, and many are the occasions
which are recalled.
The South during the later years Of
the COS was poverty stricken from the
ravages of war, and when darkness
enveloped the land at MONDAY the peo-
pie of the ignorant classes. especially
the newly freed slaves, were cowed
by the effect of the phenomena and
fell to the earth in prayer, thinking
the eve of terrible calamity was up
on them.
Chickens went to roost and cocks
crowed. Bats and owls and other
fowl which fly by night appeared and
candles and lamps were lighted in the
dwellings.
The eclipse predicted for June IL is
to be total and will be a reproduction
of the one in 1869. The occasion will
afford rare experience for residents
of Iowa and all who ever witnessed q
total eclipse of the sun state that they
can never forget it.

Here is a New Suggestion

Ogden Reporter: Wouldn't it be
fine thing if the farmers wouldhave
a small road drag and fasten it behind
their wagon every time they come to
town. Drag one side of the road
coming to town and the other side
going home. If they would do this,
we would have the best roads in the
country, and it would take but very
little extra work. This is being done
in many places and is proving verv
satisfactory. The above is suggestive
of the fact that automobilists do the
same.

This Joke Doesn't Set Well

Boston Record: The Rev. A. q.
Conrad, pastor of the Park Street
church relates this one:
A country minister in the course of
his dining out on the circuit came t.
a house where roast chicken was ser.
we'd for dinner. He had previously
encountered a series of rib corned
beef dinners and the chicken looked
good to him.
"Well," he facetiously remarked.
''here's where chat chicken enters the
ministry "
"Hope it does better there than in
lay work." rejoined the small boy Of
the family.

They are daily forcing con-
cessions and winning points for the

saved millions to consumers. even

KELTZ AS A POLITICIAN.

collar story. with Gov. Carroll for its
object. obtained quite start before
the origin of it was discovered. 1t
is now explained that it was put out
by Bert Keltz, a Webster City politi-
clan who was met by the governor in
the most dignified manner and asked
to create vacancy on the board of
pharmacy commissioners. 1t seems
Keltz was brought to such state of
mind that he would like to wiring the
governor S neck; and so it was, if
explanation is to be credited. that a
celluloid collar, with malice afore-
thought, was brought into public
view in the considerable distance be-
tween the governors breast bone and
the point of his chin. The suggestion
is that the device was intended as a
burlesque on economy, originating in
the governors assumption that it was
extravagant to pay Keltz more than
the law allowed him. The fact that
the governor keeps COW and does the
milking, upon which simplicity of life
comment was free throughout the state
served to give probability to the dia-
bolical celluloid. Keltz having served
faithfully under the preceding admin
istration is familiar with the value
of public prejudice; and it is to be
admitted that we have come to point
in the progress of civilization when
the celluloid collar is regarded as re-
dictionary and unworthy of conspicuous
place in our public life. The collar
less and cuffless are to be approved
rather than one ornamented with celIu-
loid. A man may have celluloid in
his blood and be throughout a cheap
imitation. but he must not be caught
with apparel especially designed to
beat the washerwoman out of an
honest living. Keltz is a modern
politician. He believes the govern
ment belongs to the people; and if q
man who belongs to the people manages
to get to the crib. he thinks it an
impertinence on the part of a governor
to come along and kick such man off
the premises because of objection to
his manner of taking food. If i,
should appear such discourtesy wa,
perpetrated by governor in cellu.
loid collar it would be easy for the
victim to escape censure on the EN-.
barrassing situation to the exclusive
occupancy of the governor. Such al
excellent politician is Keltz! A be.
lated report, with imperfect motive
power. is not the way to inform the
people that Gov. Carroll wears 8
linen collar. not exactly yard vide
but conspicuously wide. The cellu.
loid invention was brought out as {
stumbling block to his ambition t.
succeed himself. You see. Kelt,
knew no one would be expecting cellu
loid. 1t was a complete surprise
Thousands of people, as they meet tn,
governor. will look sharply to see i
they can detect the difference between
celluioid and linen. and manv will say
the truth being forced upon them. tina
the governor quit wearing celluloi
after his habit became state scandal
Keltz is great politician.

A Common Cold.

We claim that if catching cold could ne
avoided some of the most dangerous and
fatal diseases would never be heard of. A
cold often forms a culture bed for germs Of
infectious diseases. Consumption, pneu-
monia, diphtheria and scarlet fever, four of
the most dangerous and fatal diseases, are Of
this class. The culture bed formed by the
cold fayors the development of the germs Of
these diseases, that would not otherwise find
lodgment. There is little danger, however,
OF any of these diseases being contracted
when a good e~xpectorant cough medicine
ike Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is used.
It cleans out these culture beds that favor
the development of the germs of these dis
eases: That is why this remedy has proved
so universally successful in preventing pneu-
monia. 1t not only cures your cold quickly,
but minimizes the risk of contracting these
dangerous diseases. For sale by Prices

Cotton Report Will be Held Back.

Washington, Sept. 24.-The next
report Of the census on the quantity
of cotton ginned, which was to have
been issued on Saturday, October 2,
will not be made public until 10 a.
M, on October 4 next, telegraphic
notice to that effect having to-day
been sent out by Director Durand.
The law requires that the report Of
the bureau of statistics Of the depart
ment of agriculture on the cotton
must be made public on the same day
as the census report.
"It is impossible for the bureau OF
statistics to prepare it's report before
12 o'clock on the day Of issue," ex-
planned Mr.. Durand, and "as the ma
jority of the cotton exchanges close at
IL o'clock on Saturday, 1t would be
impossible to take advantage OF the
information. Therefore both reports
will be issued on Monday, October 4,
the report of the bureau OF statistics
appearing at neon. as heretofore"

Samuels Corroborates Wylie.

Columbia, S. c., Sept. 24.-At yes
terday afternoons session Of the in
vestigation of the alleged graft in the
MANAGEMENT of the State dispensary,
Henry Samuels testified that he had
received a number of checks from
Farnum for Wylie and that he had
cashed them and turned the money
he had received any part Of the mon
over to Wylie. Samuels denied that
ey for his services.
Samuels's testimony in the main,
was along the same lines as Wylie's
and corroborated it on most points.
The defence attempted to impeach
the character of the witness by hav-
ing him tell of what he did on some
of his former visits to this city.
Samuels said that the only COM
mission he received were paid him
by the whiskey firms, which he had
represented.
The States case against Farnum
consisted in tracing the progress of a
draft, which it is charged, was paid
to Wylie, from the hands Of Farnum,
through the Bank Of Chester and
back to Farnum's Office in Charleston.

Lexington, Sept. 25.-T. A. Whit
tie, white man from Saluda county,
was lodged in Jail here last night by
Deputy Sheriff Padgett, Of Saluda
county, upon a warrant sworn out
by the Citizens bank of Batesburg,
charging him with forgery. 1t is al
legged that the accused forged the
name of ]. E. Whittle as an indorsee
ON his note for $110 on February s,
1908.
Although it has been several days
since the warrant was issued, Whit
tie was not apprehended until yes
terday.
Whittle brought two quarts of
whiskey to Jail with him, 1t Is said,
claiming that he had to use 1t for
medicine. He is said to have a wife
and children. As the general ses-
sions court will be in progress again
next week it is not unlikely that the
case will be disposed Of at once.

SHOT ELLIOTT BALL.
NEGRO Contractor Of Aiken Wounded
by Another Colored Man.

Aiken, Sept. 24.-Wednesday night
Elliott Ball, prominent colored con-
tractor, was shot twice by Sam Eu-
banks, colored, on York street, this
city, at colored church entertain
ment, in the Immanual Training
school hall. Ball was not fatally
wounded. The affair caused a great
deal of excitement at the time, it
being nearly midnight, and aroused
great many from their slumbers,
thinking perhaps something more Sc
rious had occurred.
The affair seems to have resulted
from Ball teasing girl about walk
Ing down the street with a nephew
of Eubanks on the afternoon prev
tous to the shooting. Eubanks was
arrested and later released on $400
bond.
