TUSCALOOSA IS THIRD THIRD
Makes Fine Showing at the Grin.
f nell Meet.

The Oskaloosa Track Team return
ed Saturday evening from the Field
Meet at Grinnell, more than pleased
with the showing they had made In
the contest. They received nineteen
points, which gave them second place
with the high schools and third place
in the meet.
Seven schools had entered, namely,
Ottumwa, oskaloosa, Grinnell High
School, Grinnell Academy Newton
Malcolm and Colfax.
Oskaloosa sent seven men up and
were positive of making good show
ing there. Before starting their de
cision was that Ottumwa would win
the honors and their Judgment prov
ed correct, as Ottumwa made total
of forty-four points, which gave them
the prize, which was the statue OF
the sWinged Victory" The academy
has for several years been the vic
tors and every school thought that 1t
was for the best that some other
team would take it away from the
home fellows.
An accident happened to one OF
Oskaloosa's runners, which kept them
from making more points and taking
second in the meet from the Academy.
Maxwell y, Brien was running the
preliminaries in the morning and jus:
few feet from the wire one of the
Ottumwa sprinters got over iEto his
opponents territory, and threw him
to the ground. 1t, was reported an
accident; but even at that, OBrien
succeeded in rolling over the line
and taking third place. AS a result of
this Oskaloosa was thrown out of one
of their best sprinters ana O'Brien is
now nursing very badly scratched
side from the roll in the cinders.
a.I In the SSO-yard run FairaIi, of Os'
kaloosa, took first easily and broke
the track record, which was min
utes and II seconds. Fairall made
the run in 2 minutes and IL seconds,
thereby making 1t in l second faster
time han has been made on the track.
In the 44O-yard run Fairall could have
made a record, as he finished first
and only ran fast enough to keep in
the lead If he can keep in good
trim for the state meet it is expected
that some noise" will be made by
him. ..--
The. points made by the Oskaloosa
team were as follows: 440-yard run
Fairall first place, points; half-mile
Fairall first. 5 points; mile relay, Os
kaloosa second, 3 points; pole vault,
Arnold second, points; hammer
throw, Mattison second, 3 points. to-
tai 10 points. In the high jump Oska'
loosa would have made first or sec
ond, but Mattison was in another
event at that time, which cut him out
of entering.
The points made by the six schools
represented were: Ottumwa A; Grin
nell Academy, 80; Oskaloosa, 10; Grin
nell High, IS; Malcolm g.; Newton, g.

and, in fact, he looked prosperous.
Patch thought of all this that morn
ing of the great discovery at Block
lake, In pushing out from shore, his
ore had struck soft yielding sub
stance that gave way and let the
blade full depth into its yielding muck.
If the shore had been muddy, Patch
wouldn't have given the matter any
particular thought, but it wasn't. In
stead, it was white and glistened in
the sun where the waves were shall
low. He examined the substance that
chung to the oar. 1t was soft and slip
perry and blush white!
When Wilson came in from cast
ing, Patch took him to one side:
do you remember that cement
manufacturer on board the D. r. and
T. the night we left Ghicago?" s....
Wilson remembered . ..t.. o.
do. you recall that he said there
was lot of money in cement?"
Eyes" 4...r..
Were rich, Wilson," whispered
Patch. aB-
Say" demanded Wilson, taking
swift scrutiny of his friend, whats
the matter with You, anyhow" ~ 3
There's nothing the matter with
me, Wilson; what tell you is true,
This whole lake bottom is cement"
Then why doesn't it set-harden?
On the square, Patch, have you been
drinking all that booze? Haven't you
left me one little drink after being
out on that choppy old lake all day?'
Look here" replied Patch, leading
Wilson mysteriously to the boat
house. ~ r.f-
why, that's marl!" cried Wilson
now thoroughly interested, Strange
hadn't seen that myself"
Wen keep it to ourselves. get an
! option on this property and forever
afterward tread the primrose path OF
dalliance," declared Patch.
During the remainder of the triI
Wilson and Patch kept much to them
selves. The boarders began to cal
them the whispering duet, but Patel
and Wilson were, too busy to notice
that they were attracting attention
and too happy to care, If they had,

disappointment on their faces, "bu

That's the way all my get-rich

much misunderstood as people do not
apply its use correctly. Faith Is a
practical part of life and not theor

he is and leads him out into the life

unfolding of the future and has an
uplifting power in connection with

are paying additional bounties for all
gophers killed on their farms. Teunis

a splendid sermon on the subject OF
do American Women Make Good
Mothers?" The service was under
the auspices of the Kings Daugh-

audience were given white carnation
as souvenir OF the special service.
The main audience room was tilied
with an interested congregation and
the words of the sermon were emf

Allen selected his text from Prov
CRIBS 31:2S, "And her children viii
rise up and call her blessed" The
sermon was introduced by descrip.
ton OF the ideal mother OF which the
Hebrew mother referred to in the
text was the prototype. In connee
ton with this the american mother
was described as the result OF mod
ern civilization. There is no country
on earth today which places woman
hood upon higher plane than does
America. The exalted standing. the

opportunities for usefulness which
the American mother enjoys wer'

Day" was commemorated at the First
Baptist church Sunday by Rev. j. A.
Lapham, of Pella, who delivered
beautiful sermon in the evening on
that subject, taking for his theme
the life of the mother of Jesus. The
reverence due mother because OF her
sacrifice in bringing the new lie and
the sanctity OF the thought because
of its Bearness to God were empha.
sized in an effective manner. He also
beautifully showed how the true moth

makes not only the outward garment,
but the coat of character. He de-
nounced the disrespect made evident

"the old woman" The inspiring SER

Secretary Ballinger's report has
been given out. It begins by say.
ing:
mo policy within the reach Of
the Executive can humanely solve
the difficulties involved in the dis
charge Of superannuated clerks.
The Department of the Interior in
all its bureaus in Washington is
laboring under great disadvan-
tage in trying to introduce modern
business methods and to keep pace
with the increasing volume of
work, because of it's inability to
retire members of the clerical and
laboring force after they have be
come incapacitated by age or other
causes
There must certainly be some
thing wrong with a clerk who at a
large salary for the best part of his
life has failed to save something
for old age. The secretary sug-
gests pensions. A little economy
would be better. The man with a
family who has struggled all his
life at hard work is more deserving
of an old age pension than a spend
thrift in the public service. The
secretary calls attention of con-
gress to needed legislation to pre-
serve the public domain.
1.-THE liberal and rapid DISPOSE
ton Of the public lands under the
statutes and the lax methods of
administration which for a long
time prevailed naturally provoked
the feeling that the public domain
was legitimate prey for the un-
scrupulous and that it was no
crime to violate or circumvent the
land laws. It is to be regretted
that we, as a nation, were 30 tardy
to realize the importance of pre-
venting 30 large measure of our
natural resources passing into the
hands of land pirates and specu-
lators, with no view to develop
ment looking to the national well
fare.
I'm anticipation of new legisla-
ton by Congress to prevent the
acquisition Of power sites on the
public domain by private persons
or corporations with the view Of
monopolizing or adversely control
ling them against the public in
terest, there have been temporarily
withdrawn from all forms Of entry

soLoN CHASE

SOLON CHASE
Uncle Scion Chase, Of Chase's
Mills, Maine, one of the promi-
nent men Of the state during the
Civil war and in the early 7O's.
died at his home Sunday aged 81
years.
Mr.. Chase when lad at school
was promised an appointment at
West Point in case he could pass
an ex 'mination.
In a few years he tod lis friend
then a congressman that he was
ready for an examination and was
accordingly appointed. He passed
all the examinations with the 100
mark but a physician on account of
weak lungs rejected him. Uncle
Scion used to say that some other
candidates father had more money
than his had, insinuating the doc
tor had been trifled with.
When the war broke out Mr..
Chase was.a Whig-the only one
left in his town. He Immediately
espoused the Union side and was
sent to the Legislature where he
and James G. Blaine became life
long friends. His Oldest son en-
tered the army and returned home
with both eyes shot out.
In the early los Uncle Scion
saw the ruinous effect of the
rapid destruction of the greenback
currency and became the father of
that party in Maine. He pub.
lished a small weekly paper which
had wide circulation and was a
unique public speaker with a voice
that indicated good lungs. He
was a candidate for congress
against VIM p. Frye and polled
large vote. He was farmer and
had pair of black twin steers for
which he was offered fancy price
when they were year old, but he
kept them until they became oxen,
When two years old and again at
three years the steers had not adj
vanced in price, Uncle Scion took
them steers as an illustration of
how contraction of the currency
kept prices falling, and closed his
story by exclaiming: "Who got
the hay that fed to them steers?'
These steers were on exhibition
but once and then at mass state
convention in 1873 when they
were driven across the Androscog-
gin river hitched to hay rack
and followed by thousands.
That year the Greenback party
was second in Maine and resulted
in the election Of DR.. Garceton AS
governor.
