THE WINsOME SCHOOL MAAM.

In this gay institute week in Rey-
noldsville the following little gem,
which originally appeared in the
Brookville Republican, years ago, is
especially appropriate:
The school ma am is with us once
again, as fresh, as winsome and as
sweet as ever, and as we gaze on her
in her youth and loyeliness, full. Of
health and joyousness, we may fail
to take note of the fact that the
school ma'am, God bless her, holds
the destiny of the nation in her hands.
Hers is no little calling, and the PIN
pied youths VINO stand around our
street corners with their cigarettes
between their teeth, and the imperti-
nent salutation, where do you teach" -"
upon their glib and irreverent
tongues, might be better employed
in bending the courteous knee to the
maker of history. For this little
school ma am, this week so full of
joy and bounding life, with the bur-
den of responsibility for moment off
her shoulders, and she, herself, again
a pupil, is the same little school
ma'am who turns out on the frosty
mornings, when the lazy citizen
would fain pull his head beneath the
covers for a traditional forty winks,
and trudges bravely through the
snow and sleet to the little country
school house on the lane. Here she
tends the fire and puts the house in
order, and here she builds in the
hearts of her pupils, the structure
that shall make or mar the perfect
contour of the history of the Repub-
lie. Here in heart as barren as the
wastes of the desert of Sahara, she
plants the love of God; here she
wakes the bud of promise and gently
leading turns the artist free to roam
along the lines to which his Creator
pointed; here she breaks the rebel
ious tyrrany of youth and plants the
seeds of law and order; here she
touches with kindly hand a physi-
cal hurt, and pours the oil of con-
ISOLATION on a broken heart; here she
binds up wound, kisses away a
tear, laughs down a sob and with q
song leads the little hearts out of the
way Of bondage into the way of light;
and when even comes, worn and
weary with her constant trial she
watches on their homeward way her
little brood, smoothing with a last
caress the small entanglements of the
day. Out Of her toll will spring
harvest, so surely as the seed breaks
into life, the bud to bloom. In the
home, in the church, in the great
forum Of the state, in every walk and
phase of life, the influence Of her la
bors will be felt. Conceived in the
proper spirit and carried forward in
the true manner of the teacher, hers
is the greatest work save one in all
the world. And so closely allied is
1t with that greater work, that the
line Of demarkation is lost where the
two converge. God bless the school
ma'am. May we never lack apprecia-
tion of her sacrifices, and her services.

A Blood and Nerve Specialist.

Man is only as old as he feels.
The human mechanism is similar to
that Of clock, whose works must be
kept in good repair in order to COM
pete in the race with time. How
many there are whose sallow COM
plexion and general debilitated ap-
pearance proclaims to all the world
their physical condition. The brain,
however, still works with precise
regularity-the same thoughts, the
same desires, hopes and ambitions are
present; but the will, the power, the
ability, the mechanical part of the
body needs looking after.
Nero Tablets is the great master
mechanic, the marvellous blood and
nerve tonic that will find the trouble
and repair it; the results are truly
miraculous. The weakened parts are
toned up and built anew; the nerves
become alert and ready to again obey
the desires as 1t Is flashed from the
brain. New tissues form, rich, pure
blood again flows through your veins
and you again rejoice in perfect
trength and ability.
Do not delay until your case be-
comes obstinate, take heed of the COM
mon symptoms and the uncommon
and dangerous ones will not occur.
Nero Tablets are fully guaran-
teed and are for sale at every drug
store in Reynoldsyille :

Deafness Cannon be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
De a1ness is caused bv an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rum nlbling sound or inn
perfect hearing, and when it IS entirely
closed, deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be DESTROYED forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh'
which is nothing but an inflan1ed condi-
tion of the mucous surfaces.

New Type of Engine

The Great Northern has received
the first shipment of new style of
engine which they expect to make a
speed of seventy five or eighty miles
an hour. These locomotives are as
near like automobiles in appearance
and performance as it is possible to
make them. The engine and tender
are both built very low so that they
will not rock when running at high
rate of speed. They are also COM
paratively small with a cab just large
enough for the engineer to turn
around. They are built with ten
wheels on superheated equipment.
Twenty of the new engines will be
used on the Winnipeg Limited and the
Gopher Express, and on the service
recently established between Van
couver and Portland. The othNS
twenty, with larger cylinders, will be
used to pull the fast transcontinental
mail.-Breckenridge Telegram.

Death of Fred Meyer, Sr.

Fred Meyer, Sr., died at his home
in the township of Donnelly last
Thursday afternoon, Aug. 18th. He
has been an invalid for some time and
took to his bed about three weeks
ago. Yet death came to him peace
fully and without suffering. He was
cheerful thruout the day, and was
reading his daily newspaper, to which
he was much devoted, within twenty
minutes of the time he passed away.
Mr.. Meyer had led long and useful
life, has raised large and respected
family, and departed this life with the
respect and regard of all who knew
him. He was born in Stermbke, Han
over, Germany, October Is, 1880, and
was married at Church Hagen, Cort
Neustadt, Honover, in December,
1859 to Miss Julia Jorgens. In Germ
any he worked as a shoemaker.
He left Germany on May lst,
1864, and settled in Matteson town
ship, Cook Co., ILL.,. and the next year
moved to Kankakee county, and ten
years later to Martinton, Iroquois
county, where he lived most of the
time until he came here in 1899. He
made his home here for ten years and
last year he and his wife removed to a
farm cottage in Donnelly, where sew
eral of their children live. To Mr..
and Mrs. Meyer were born eight child
rem, as follows, Sophia Gerber, Don
nelly; Minnie (deceased); Fred Mey-
er, Morris; Alvena Genshaw, Dom
nelly; Adolph Meyer, Wells; August
Meyer, Donnelly; Will Meyer, Dom
nelly, and Lena Youngmann, Sleepy
Eye. He is survived also by his de-
voted wife and 20 grandchildren.
The funeral was held at Donnelly
Sunday afternoon, and was conducted
by Rev. g. A. Pilgrim, of the German
Lutheran church [of which church
here in Morris Mr.. Meyer was the
founder). The pail bearers were his
four sons, and two nephews, August
and Henry Meyers, of Wells, sons of
the eldest brother of the deceased.
Besides all the children and two neph-
ews, those present from abroad were
his sister and husband, Mr.. and Mrs.
Max Schrum, and their daughter,
Mrs. Jacobson, and their daughter. in
law, Mrs. John Schrum, of Temple
ton, Iowa.
On December End last, Mr.. and Mrs.

ding, and at that time, surrounded by
their numerous family, were the re-
cipients of many tokens of love and

Farm Problems

The following are some of the most
important problems facing the Ameri-
can farmer today: How to lay out a
farm in proper rotation SO that the
soil fertility may be maintained: how
to keep simple business accounts SO
that one may know what is done at a
profit and what at loss; how to
handle the dairy COW for the greatest
income. These and many other re-
lated questions will be a part of the
Farm School course.

COUNTY POLITICS.
Little Prospect of Any Contest
at Primaries.

AS the time for candidates to file for
the primary nomination draws toward
its close, there is little indication OF
any contest at the primaries for coun-
ty offices and only two contests in
sight for the general election.
The first of the week Mr.. Roger
Casey announced himself as candi-
date for the Democratic nomination
for sheriff, but he later reconsidered
it, and decided not to run. Roger
Casey is a son of Commissioner p. f.
Casey and has many friends about the
county, and has had considerably ex-
perience as a special police officer for
the Great Northern. He is well liked
by the company officials, and will
rapidly gain promotion. In announc-
ing his decision not to run for the
Office of sheriff, Mr.. Casey said he
had concluded that he could make
more money working for the COM
pany, and that is a good conclusion
lO1 d. JOuIlS u4dA w I6dCus
There is no prospect of any other
contest in the primaries on either the
Republican or the Democratic tickets.
With no primary contests in this
county, the vote will necessarily be
light, and this will be certain to have
its effect on the legislative contest,
with reference especially to the con-
test between Messrs. Foss nd Rustad
for the senate. If there is large
stay home vote in this county, it
may mean that the voters of this
county will practically take no part in
selecting the senatorial candidate or
it may be that the choice will depend
on the stay -at-homes. At any rate
there is no evidence at the present
time that the senatorial contest has
excited enough interest here to bring
out the vote.
At the general election besides the
contest between Mr.. Zahl and Mr..
Griffith for the sheriff's Office, there is
a prospect that Judge of Probate
Stenger will also have opposition. E..
J. Babe, of Hancock, who was former
ly Judge of probate, was in Morris
Wednesday, and said that he had
practically made up his mind to run.
So far as we have been able to learn
he would be nominated without op-
position.
1t looks now as tho all the other
county officials would be nominated
and elected without opposition.
Following are the filings which have
so far been made with the county
auditor, Roger Casey for the Demo
cratic nomination for sheriff, F. E.
Ware for the Republican nomination
for auditor, Carl Buckentin for the
Republican nomination for treasurer,
F. A. Zahl,for the Republican nomin-
alton for Sheriff, J.J. Gaffney for the
Democratic nomination for register of
deeds and James Griffith for the
Democratic nomination for sheriff.

SHOW COMES IN QUANTITIES
What Snow Was Here Has Been Add
ed by tho Biggest Storm Of the
Entire Season,

If the elements were trying to
make q record in regard to the
amount Of snow that could be drop
ped over the country in a given length
Of time, there is no question but
what it was made. after the snow
storm subsidized Thursday after
a continuous performance Of about
twenty-four hours.
The snow started in Wednesday
morning about 10 O'Clock and 1t con-
tinued without interruption, Until
about the same time this morning,
although the last few hours 1t grew
rather thin. The actual measure
ment of the snow was IL inches on
the level. There is no doubt but
what fully twenty inches of snow fell,
but of course it settled at least four
inches during the night. The snow
which was caught in the government
rain guage was melted at noon today
and the precipitation amounted to
just n inch. which is something OF
a record when the. general dryness of
the snow Is taken into consideration.
It is conservatively estimated that
there are about 80 inches OF snow on
a level over the country.

passengers. This was accomplished
and the travellers ere brought to the
city about 5 O'Clock pretty we'll worn
III with their nights experience.
The accident cannot be accounted
for, except possibly that the weight
OF the two engines caused the track
to spread, the engines getting over
the bad spot and the coaches leaving
the track, skidding for quite a little
distance and then topping partially
over. The accident happened in a
deep cut, where the snow stood quite
deep. In the mail car the oil from
one CT the lamps took fire and the
government employee had a short but
exciting time in putting out
the flames. Little damage was done.
In the coaches the lights were ex-
%tinguished at once to avoid any pos
sibility of fire. 1t was something of
a task to climb out Of the coaches
from the peculiar position in which
they laid. 1t is said that most all of
the vestibules on the coaches were
torn away when the coaches skidded
along.
One rail was torn out of the track
and twisted into a letter "S", so
n Of the passengers said. The pas
sengers were thrown forward by the
shock, some of whom fell into aisle
of the car and were bruised. Others
were pushed under the seats and
could not be released until the cars
stopped. The sleeping a stands
erect and is just OF the track.
Just as soon as possible the wreck
ing crew was sent to the scene Of the
accident to get things Strengthened
out. The east train was sent south
via Scotland today and the train
from that direction will come via the
same route.

PASSENGER IS WRECKED
Milwaukee Passenger From the East
Left the Track a Short Distance
East of Burton.

The Milwaukee road is having
enough troubles with running it's
trains during the cold period and the
abundance of snow. Added to these
a wreck occurred at a very early
hour this morning in which the east
passenger train played the central
figure ind a goodly number of pass
engers got something of a shaking
up, although after a careful exam
ination there was no one injured to
any extent.
The east train in charge of George
Mccullough, the conductor, and haul
ed by Two engines to help make up
lost time, left the track about a
mile and a half east of Burton Friday
morning about two o'clock. The train
is scheduled to arrive in Mitchell at
$3.50 in the afternoon, but it was
good and late Thursday, being sched-
uled to arrive at IL o'clock. 1t was
worse than that. One Of the pass
engers stated that the train left AL
exandria about 2 Friday morn
ing and that they were running along
all right until near Burton. about
three miles east Of Mitchell. All at
once the passengers felt that the arr
left the track. Judging by the rumbl-
ing and the roughness and the tilted
condition of the coaches. They ran
along possibly q hundred yards and
then stopped. There was much
commotion and cries Of terror from
the women In the cars. Conductor
Mccullough hurried through the
train, but first looked out and dis
covered that the engines had broken
loose from the train and were no.
where in sight.
The mail, baggage and four pass
enger coaches had left the track
and when they stopped the cars were
lying at an angle Of about IS de-
grees and some eight or ten feet
from the track. The conductor hur-
ried through the train and discover
ed that no one was hurt, and then
started to hunt up the engines. The
engineers discovered in a short mo-
ment that their engines were run
ming wild, and went back for the
train. The conductor Instructed the
engineers to run to Mitchell, get
some coaches and come back for the
