BIG BARN BURNS
NEAR MAYV|LLE
Loss of Several Thous-
andsot Dollars.
PROPERTY OF ELLIS sCHOMP
Volunteer Firemen Save 800 Bush
els Of Grain--LOss Partly Cow
cred by Insurance.

Ellis Schomp's new barn, one
of the biggest and best in Gillian
County, was consumed last Fri
day forenoon by fire, which
started from some unknown
cause. In the barn were 80 tons
of hay. about 500 bushels of
grain, 16 sets Of harness and a
saddle, all Of which were des-
troyed with the exception of 300
bushels Of grain which was
carried out by the neighbors.
Mr.. 'Schomp was away from
home, but Mrs. Schomp was
there with a lady named Mrs.
Fairchild, and soon all the
countryside WAS notified of the
fire over the rural telephone
system. w. w Steiwer's auto,
in charge of Leland Steiwer,
happened to be passing Mayville
just at that time, and Leland
laid over and hauled a load of
volunteer firemen at a 40 mile
clip to the scene of the conflag-
tion, where they rendered most
effective service in saving the
the grain. We understand that
the loss, which runs into the
thousands Of dollars. is partly
covered by insurance; still the
damage is such that money can
at the best but feeblv compen-
safe for it, as is isa herculean
task for farmer to build a barn
like the one that was burned, on
account Of the long haul for
lumber: land also because MIR.
Schomp had in this barn, right
at his door, shelter, hay and
other feed necessary for his
horses during the coming winter,
Very fortunatly he had the bulk
of his large grain crop, amount
ing to many thousands of bush
els, stored at a safe distance.

Why the Republican

lose out this fall in this county,

TO the opponent party the power

The colored vote is a factor
and the man who does not reckon
with this vote is unlikely to win.
We do not infer that colored men
should be bought (the respectable
Negro is opposed to the buying

recogniton-some of the jobs and
positions and the "patronage.'
Give them chance to be seen
and felt. Something tangible

The Situation IN The
Republican Party

1t is generally believed that
the Republican party throughout
the Nation stands in imminent
danger this fall of losing in most
states and in the lower house of
4he National Congress.
Why this apathy is entertained
is obvious-the party for the last
4 years, through mere greed and
individual and dividual avarice
has caused much turmoil aud pc
litical misgovernment,. panlcs
have threatened the nation and
general rise in the price of ne
cessities of life, etc have caused
much adverse thought, but this
is not the major cause for the be
lief that the Democrats will carry
the nation. 1t is because of the
obvious fact that the Republican
party Is Waging one of the bitter
est battles among its own that
the party has ever before known
But We fail to see why there
should not be hope; the Republi
can party can win, both in the
nation and in most of the North
ern States if they get together,
give consideration to the colored
voter and get busy, quiet fight
ing and harmonic. But TO win
even in this county, there must
be work and the colored voter
reckoned with.

Address School Board on Plan To Es-
tablish Department for Affected
Children-Matter Goes Over.

The movement for the establish.
ment OF department for children
who stammer, stutter OF are afflicted
with other speech impediments, IN the
public schools, developed into q con-
troversy between rival stammering
schools, In Thursday nights meeting
OF the board. Mrs. +. A. Reed, who
conducts such q school on the west
side, has offered to instruct two
teachers for the work during the sum-
mer IL the proposition goes through,
and while she does not guarantee that
all the defective children will be
cured, she insists that all will be
greatly benefited by the instruction.
Mrs. Reed and large following or
personal friends. including Henry M.
Leland, OF the Cadillac Motor Car
Co., was on hand, Thursday night,
fully prepared to defend her claims.
George Andrew Lewis, founder and
present head OF the Lewis School for
Stammerers, was also present, and,
when invited TO address the board
vigorously assailed the proposed plan
as being impracticable. He commended
that young children require special at
tention and discipline II good results
are to be obtained and declared that
to attempt to cure child Of the STAN
mering habit by the methods suggest
ed, would result only In harm.
In my school / will not accept chill
dren under 10 years OF age unless
they are accompanied by their
parents" he said.
Mr.. Lewis challenged published
statement to the effect that there are
nearly 800 stammerers In the public
schools. In his opinion, there are
considerably less than 100.
Mrs. Reed followed Lewis and she
started out by saying that she had
never received any instruction in the
Lewis school This called for an In
terruption by Inspector Burton, who
thought personalities should be left
out. Without mentioning names
however, Mrs. Reed managed to get
back at Mr.. Lewis.
"A great deal can be accomplished
for children who stammer II you teach
them the right methods" she said
"and | speak from long experience
with children as well as with adults
You can't expect TO accomplish any
thing by teaching them tricks. how
ever. Natural speech has nothing to
do with movements Of the body"
But Mr.. Lewis had the last word.
Il Just want to state" he remarked
after Mrs. Reed had resumed her
seat. that Mrs. Reeds husband was
teacher in my institution for Ave
years and Mrs. Reed also has taught
| for me, using my methods"
After hearing both sides the boart
referred the proposition back to thu
teachers committee for another tive
weeks,
