Robbery.

G. NJ. Leigh, of Chicago, travelling
salesman with the American Type
Foundry, lost a valuable alligator
hand bag containing various articles
of clothing yesterday afternoon when
some fellow, unknown here, boldly
walked away with the same. The
loss of the hand bag was quickly
noted and the police notified. The
thief was traced to Beacon where he
took the Rock Island train for Ottum-
wa. Local police wired Ottumwa to
stop the fellow. In some manner he
outwitted the officers and escaped. 1t
is said that he checked the bag at
Beacon for Ottumwa. When Ottum-
wa was reached he left the train,
claimed the bag and again boarded
the train. 1t is thought he can be
easily captured as. description was
obtained. The robbery was one of
the boldest the local police have had
to contend with and Judging from the
get away" of the thief he is an ex-
pert at the business.

COMMENCEMENT COMMENT.

Commencement day is at hand. In
every town of greater or small de
gree the graduating class is in prepar
alton for the first great event of theil
lives. Next to the birth of these
young people," says the Marshall
town Time-Republiean, graduation
day is the most important function in
which they have played a principal
part and ones first birthday is of less
interest to himself than to others.
Graduation is marvellous day
the wide-open gate of opportunity and
an emancipation. Naturally and in
evitably the desire is to make it a
great and memorable time for those
who are the cause and center of its
celebration.
The test of successful commence
ment is the test of the public school
democracy. 1t is a common cele,
bration and common days which per
sons enjoy in common, which cele.
brate a common privilege and a com.
mon victory are the greatest OF all
days. Commencement belongs to all
the schools. to all the pupils in all
the schools, to all the parents of all
the children, as well as to those who
are to be graduated and their parents.
And so into commencement week
should never be permitted to creep or
be carried any unearned distinguish
ment or distinction. The thought and
desire should be to keep to simplicity
in dress, in expenditure of all kinds,
in every exercise or function apper-
tanning to commencement week. 1t is
to be greatly regretted that an oppo-
site tendency exists and the opera
ton of this tendency should be stern
ly depressed everywhere by school
boards. 1t is a public duty and a
safeguard to the usefulness OF the
public school.
"Marshalltown long ago adopted
the cap and gown, thus abOlishing the
graduation gown" evil. Other cities
and towns have followed her exam
pie. Des Moines has this year for
hidden flowers. The tendency of
sensible school boards is toward sim
plicity and democracy in the schools.
1T is not complimentary to us as
people that school boards should find
it necessary to repreSs snobbery by
the enactment of rules. We ought to
know better and do the right thing
without force. The impulse which
sends girls overdressed to school and
to commencement, which vies in the
quantity and cost of banquets and
tags distinction with a price mark
has its root in ignorance and snob-
berry. Let's quit it in Iowa.

THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME

A Keen observer OF business COndl-
lions is author of the statement that
nearly every moderate sized town and
village in the central states, including
Iowa actually needs houses in which
to quarter people. The boom is in far
distant land schemes, now on the
wane, has taken money away from
home, the westerner investing in the
East and the easterner in the West.
There is a lure about things distant
that the average man finds it hard to
resist. Distance lends enchantment,"
especially when properly played up
by the skillful advertising writer
working for an ingenious land pro,
mater.
No one can deny the wisdom Of
land investments when the investor
buys land for home for cultivation
and actual development But much
of the money placed in circulation by
land schemes during the last two or
three years has gone into property
which the buyer knew nothing about
beyond what he read in a prospectus
This sort of Investment" as a rule,
is gone forever and the experience is
expensive.
Now that the land man has harvest.
ed his crop it is time for every COM
munity to get back to first principle,
TO Develop the Home Place, to build
houses and improve the farms and
promote the welfare of the home com.
munity.
To do all this there will be no bet
ter time than t e present. Money is
plentiful. Invested in a home it can
not get away. Put into farm improve
ments 1t will return dividends. Truly,
there's no place like home" when IL
comes TO laying by safely the savings
that are to provide for a rainy day.
Every move that tends to make the
home community better is a move In
the right direction

The End is Not Yet.

Since the control of the city passed
into the hands of the new administra.
ton, people have continually com
mented on the remarkable growth in
beauty of the city park. The entire
park was regarded, new grass sown
and flower tubs installed. There
seems no end to the efforts made by
the park commissioner to further
beutify. Yesterday workmen com.
menced trimming the shade trees and
continue this vocation today The
trimming OF the trees Is one OF the
most notable and marked improve
ments yet made.

KEEP A-SMILlN!

Still a-smilin', my good brother!
That's the way through life t go.
Keep a-laughin', don't y worry,
An dull care won't have a show.
Check your trunk for Sunshine coun

Where Old Trouble never strays,
An you'll help tn world be merry
While y live through happy days.
Keep on dreamin', it won't hurt y;
Let tn world know you don't care
Though the wild winds rage an ruin
All your castles of the air;
Sing your song-if it's a bad one,
Better sing it mighty low,
But if there is sunshine in it,
Lift your voice an let us know.
Don't quit hopin', it will bring y
All y need an plenty more,
He who works an keeps a-smilin'
Finds life sweet unto tn core.
S'pose tn clouds do hide tn heavens?
Can't have blue skies all tn while;
Got t. use tn clouds for somethin';
Y won't mind it if y smile.
If y feel bad, just remember,
There's a heap worse off than you,
But they smile an keep on hopin'
An their days are never blue.
What's tn use, friends, o compainin'?
1t won't get y nothin' good,
While you'll sure be we'll an happy
If y smile an saw your wood.

SUNDAY SUBJECTS.

So marked has been the interest of
Catholics in the Gibbons Memorial
Hall at the Catholic university that a
building planned at first to cost 500,
600 is now enlarged to cost, perhaps,
as much as $25O,000 and have dOrmi-
tory space for $50 students. The style
is to be Tudor Gothic, and its location
on the university campus will make
il the beginning of notable architec
tural row. 1t will itself be 265 feet
long and 40 feet wide. Work is soon
to begin, so that at least the hall may
be partly completed when the cele-
bration of the Cardinals jubilee ami,

Old Heidelberg is justly celebrated
for its castle for the great tun there
in which holds $4,000 bottles of wine
and was actually filled on three occa-
sions, and for the ancient university
with one professor for each seven stu
dents; but perhaps the most interest
ing thing in the old city from one
point OF view is the Church of the
Holy Ghost.
This church is one of the most an
cient buildings in the town. Long
ago a partition wall was run through
the center, and services are held sim
ultaneously according to the Roman
Catholic and the Protestant rituals.
In the year 1891 the ElectOr, Char
les Philip, attempted to deprive the
Protestants of their half of the
church. but this so offended the toll
Grant and easygOing Heidelbergers
that he was compelled not only to
desist in this effort but to remove the
electoral court TO Mannheim.
